Description of Cattlemen's Steakhouse, Inc
The decor of Cattlemen's is every bit as distinctive as the food. It's not fancy, inside or out, but it is comfortable, like your favorite boots. The stone exterior and the awning over the sidewalk are unchanged from a half-century before, and the wagon wheels and oil lanterns give a hint of what's to come. The handles on the front door were custom-made from a solid piece of metal.
Stepping into the darkened entrance is like stepping back into a simpler time, where the waitresses call you "hon" and the regulars hold court in their favorite booths or at the counter. A turn to the right takes you to the diner side of Cattlemen's, with the familiar dark red booths and photographs of early-day Cattlemen's and the surrounding stockyards. A glance at the photos lets you know how little things have changed. In front of the windows, sunlight pours over the rocking chairs where the late Gene Wade would pass the day supervising the restaurant. If he liked you, he'd invite you to join him in the other chair, passing tall tales about the good old days and the time he threw the 'hard six' that landed him in the restaurant business.
The other side of the restaurant is for 'fine dining.'. The walls are graced with two huge, backlit murals of Gene, his father, and a herd of herefords. Long, panaramic photos of the historic stockyards and the restaurant show the timeless qualities of the livestock business; the cattle are still worked with horses, although there are a few all-terrain vehicles that roam the chutes on auction day.
Perhaps the best known features of the main dining room are the drawings - original pencil sketches of rodeo greats, country singers, western movie stars and other notables who have been known to bend an elbow or push back a plate or two of prime, aged steak.
