Because of the late hours it kept, Cattlemen's attracted a "lively" crowd. It's reputation continued through Prohibition. The romance of this place was enhanced as Cattlemen's changed hands in the 1950s via a bet in a craps game.
It is the only place listed in Oklahoma as a must see.
For the visitor, the restaurant hearkens to an older style restaurant. The food is very good, but what would you expect from a steakhouse? Fine dining, however, it is not. Expect to see cowboy hats among the patrons.

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
