What Krystal A likes about Cattle Baron:
Best service since moving to NM. The Waiter was friendly, fast, and actually refilled our drinks! The steaks were very good, no A1 needed. The green chili wontons were nice and creamy. The fried icecream was a little disappointing, it was a bit chewy and luke warm, but it had a nice flavor. My only real complaint was the salad bar, the veggies weren't chopped but sliced which made it hard to get them out of the bowls... View all feedback. What rodney harvey doesn't like about Cattle Baron:
One step up from KBobs. My steak was overcooked and laking flavor. I've eaten at the one in Lubbock years ago, and it was better. If you're a man and want to use the urinal, I hope you're very skinny and have narrow shoulders. All in all, it wasn't horrible, if someone wanted to eat here, I'd go. View all feedback.

They di it up right at the Cattle Baron. We had a party of 13, and the wait staff did a phenomenal job. Can't beat the soup and salad bar.

Menu is limited salad bar is good. One time I ordered New York steak it was 2 pieces. The soup is homemade and very good

The Cattle Baron restaurant offers a mixed dining experience, with some customers praising the quick service and great food, especially highlights such as the Cream of Jalapeno Soup and the Green Chili Wontons. The atmosphere is family-friendly and welcoming, with clean facilities to accommodate even the youngest guests. While some visitors have found the steaks to be mediocre, overall, the restaurant seems to be a popular choice for both locals and out-of-state visitors. Despite one customer's disappointment in finding boxed mac and cheese on the menu, the restaurant's reputation for good food and friendly service remains strong. If you're in Ruidoso and craving a satisfying meal, the Cattle Baron could be the place to go.
