Cattlemen’s Steakhouse, located in historic Stockyards City, southwest of downtown Oklahoma City, opened in 1910. It is known throughout the nation (probably the world) for its U.S.D.A. Prime and Choice grades of beef that you can't get in the grocery. Stockyards City is a major cattle marketing center, and has been for 100 years.
Cattlemen's is open at 6:00AM, seven days a week, so you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner here. The menu is varied with a full breakfast menu; sandwiches, burgers and steaks for lunch; and of course, steak, seafood as well as their famous lamb fries for dinner. They are open till 10:00 PM Sunday thru Thursday, and till midnight on Friday and Saturday. Come casual, there's no dress code.
You'll no doubt hear the well-known story of how the restaurant changed ownership in 1945, as the result of a dice game in the back rooms of the Biltmore Hotel. True story.
Over the years, many famous folks have eaten at Cattlemen's including John Wayne, Reba McIntyre, Gene Autry, Ronald Reagan (before he was President), and the elder George Bush, while he was President.
You can't go wrong with a visit to Cattlemen's. And while you're in town, take a walking tour around the area, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Districts.
