Nick DeMarco Been meaning to try this place out for a while now and we are glad that we did. The place has just about something for everyone, even if you are not a fan of seafood. They grill a lot of their food with wood which really enhances the taste of the food! For instance, the grilled edamame was really great! Same with the steak frites! Definitely worth checking thus spot out!

Ms. Jakki Ohhh my, this was our 2nd experience, and all was GREAT! Benjamin, Benjamin our Server shared soo much knowledge of the menu, not to mention he’s very knowledgeable of the plethora of Tequilas, Mezcal. His energy is very warm and welcoming. Thanks sooo Much Benjamin! We enjoyed the Filet Mignon, the Ceviche and fried Cactus… again overall amazing and enjoyable!

Katelyn Joy Moore I took myself here for my birthday dinner last year! I still remember how lovely of a time I had — I was away from home and wanted to have a nice dinner but it was very important to me to find a place that wouldn’t make me feel odd for celebrating alone! First, the food was delicious, of course. It was expensive, of course, but definitely very appropriately priced for the quality of the food and experience! As a college student, I wanted to find a place where if it was expensive, I knew it was not overpriced, and it definitely was not! The steak and other foods I ate were delicious! The wine selection was also great and their sommelier was excellent and well versed on the menu. Second, the service was lovely and I felt very well taken care of on my birthday. I never was made to feel awkward, out of place, or unimportant. In fact, they made me feel very welcome and treated me with compassion and kindness — even excitement — for my choice to spend my evening there! They were so kind and friendly. I loved the employees I talked to. And finally, the atmosphere was beautiful and very appropriate. It was not anything overly themed or special, but it felt very nice and refined, and tailored to the quality of the restaurant and food. Overall, I really loved my visit. I thank them greatly for the compassion and lovely experience for my birthday!

Mr.S Travel Quest This was our first time visiting Pappadeaux, and it definitely won’t be our last! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was exceptional—super friendly and attentive. The portions were huge, especially for the price, and everything we tried was delicious. Took my wife here, and we both absolutely loved it. Honestly, I can’t believe it took me this long to check it out. Highly recommend!

Gabby Wolf I celebrated my birthday here and it was amazing! The service is incredible, you don’t even need to ask for much because they anticipate everything. And the food was incredible! I don’t think we ate anything we didn’t like all night, and that includes the people who are not big meat eaters. It’s a bit pricey, but definitely worth it for at least one visit.

J. Nicole Barrett I have loved The Cheesecake Factory for many years strictly for their delicious Cheesecakes! I am known to go there, grab some slices, and leave with several flavors to try! Yum! I rarely dine there. Today however, my son wanted to celebrate his Birthday with a family lunch there! Our food was delicious. Every single item! The Carbonara never disappoints, and my Spicy Rigatoni Vodka Sauce pasta was fantastic. The extensive children’s menu is also such a great touch! Our kind waiter went out of his way to ensure my son had a beautiful Birthday celebration! Very good experience all around and I love the decor / ambiance.

Ziaur Chowdhury We kicked off New Year’s Day here as a family and had an excellent experience. Despite the lunch rush, Julia took great care of us. She was attentive, warm, and kept everything running smoothly without ever feeling rushed. The food and atmosphere made it a perfect start to the year, and Julia’s hospitality truly stood out. We will be back.

Stacy Brookman Great top sirloin. Fantastic Brussels sprouts too. We had a side salad and it was fresh and crisp . The service was friendly. We are at the bar to save the wait. Were glad we went!

alavath Was there on 12/10/25 for company Christmas party and had a very enjoyable time. Jaime was our server and she was a rock-star! Got our drinks out fairly quickly as we were a large party. She was super helpful and polite. 10/10 I would sit in her section again! And the food was great. I had the stuffed chicken with the rice as my side and it was delicious! Overall 10 stars, but I can only give five sadly

El Patron Great spot to grab some BBQ and truly indulge yourself in some Texas Hospitality. Steaks & Ribs are great but my absolute favorite are the tortilla chips with both wood roasted salsa & poblanos con queso. The attention of the staff is also great, I once had a meal removed from the bill because the waitress felt it took too long to be prepared. Must-visit when in the stockyards!

Suzanne Miladin This is probably my favorite outdoor dining experience! The ambiance and beauty is wonderful, right next to the river. The covered patio is expansive and has a lot of rustic Western charm. There is an area set up for live bands on the patio too. Our server, Lauren, was very friendly and personable. The meal was delicious and reasonably priced. If I get back to Fort Worth, the Woodshed is at the top of my list to dine at!

Barry Alan Cherry Out in Dallas for a couple days made reservations at the Cattlemen’s and was not disappointed.

Service was beyond outstanding! Helpful Friendly and Polite. Made us feel very welcome and appreciated! Thank you to the staff for a Great Meal♥️
