This is the place everyone said we had to go. Literally. Everyone in the office we work at here at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma said we just HAD to eat a steak at Cattlemen's. So, we took their advice and went. Danny drove this time, so we didn't have to see our lives flash before our eyes every 10 seconds.
We arrived early and there was no wait, and we were treated to old school decor and feel. We were also the youngest ones in the joint. By a LOT.
We ordered, and...
Danny got: 24 oz Presidential T-Bone
Alex got: 11 oz Sirloin
I got: 11 oz Sirloin
Yeah I know its hard to get a feel for a place when two people order the same thing, but I wanted sirloin. It was Hereford beef, by the way. I asked, and the guy was a little smarter than the average waiter (bonus). Also revisited the okra, which we also had at Vans, and we have come to the conclusion that people who think okra is slimy and gross have never had it cooked right. So shut up about the okra already and come to Oklahoma, where they obviously know how to make it.
Danny and Alex inexplicably wanted their steak medium well, and unfortunately that's the way i got mine too, even though I asked for medium RARE (gig). It was, luckily, still not cooked to shoe leather consistency, so I didn't gripe about it. The taste was still good and the rest of the meal was just enough.
Down here in the south, they really don't understand "no carb" so you have to be specific about no potato, fries, rice, etc etc...or else you're going to get a giant potato with everything.
4 stars out of 5 (the smart waiter gains half a star)
