Another week passes, we're still here in Oklahoma City. We decided to have a night out and with Barb steak is always the answer. Of course there are hundreds of steak houses dotting the landscape. This long standing tradition has always been our favorite. Opened in 1910, this is Oklahoma's longest continually operated restaurant. It is located in Stockyards City, just south of downtown in the stockyard district. Very much Cowboy Country. Their list of guests is legendary Wall of Fame - Cattlemens Steak House (cattlemensrestaurant.com).
They have won awards and mention in publications such as Bon Appetit, Southern Living, 1000 Places To See Before You Die, and the TV shows Diners, Drive In's & Dives and Man vs. Food.
Man vs. Food"Cattlemen's Steakhouse in Stockyard City is legendary, known from coast to coast for perfectly aged steaks and grand old time hospitality. The story of Gene Wade's famous dice roll in a 1945 craps game to win the restaurant has entered the annals of western folklore" Open 6 a.m. till 10 p.m. daily they have menus for all the day's meals, each one centered around the star, BEEF.

Upon arrival at first glance this is a very unassuming local eatery located on the main street surrounded by Tack Shops, Boot, Hat, and Western Wear Shops with little or no 'flash appeal'. This is where the questions end. They own the whole building and once inside you'll see the regular dining room as well as banquet facilities. We have eaten here several times, never with reservations, but arrive early nonetheless.
Let's get down to the food. As usual we arrived mid week AFTER MEMORIAL DAY for dinner to avoid the bigger crowds. Once seated Barb perused the menu with her usual questions, while I sat patiently knowing what my heart yearned for. My bride ordered her favorite, the rib eye. while I asked for the Lamb Fries. Stockman's menu always (and only) includes their signature salad, rolls, and a baked potato. That is meant to be eaten with beef. There are no other options. Not normally my style, I ordered a nice glass of Stoller Pinot Noir.
The meal we enjoyed as always. Barb's ribeye was cooked to perfection, but try as she might, the usual 'to go' box was needed. I loved the lamb fries; butterflied and breaded perfectly with cocktail sauce. Fair to say I needed a 'to go' box as well. The Pinot Noir was very good; light and just slightly sweet. The service is always excellent here and the total for our meal was $ 62. As I said earlier there are a hundred other steak houses across Oklahoma that are good, but this one is special. This history, the tradition, and the flavor always make it worth the trip. Carnivore? Turn in here.
