- Explore Our Family Of Restaurants and find something the whole family Will love
For over 50 years, we’ve built our reputation on doing things the hard way—because it’s the right way. Fresh ingredients. Cooked from scratch. Recipes that feel like home. That’s the Cattle Baron tradition.
Founded in 1976 in Portales, New Mexico, Cattle Baron Restaurants has grown into one of the Southwest’s most beloved steakhouse brands, known for scratch-made meals, a legendary salad bar, and warm hometown hospitality. The first location was opened by Jeff Wilson, a U.S. Air Force veteran, who purchased the former Bob’s Steak House after completing his service at Cannon Air Force Base. Renaming it Cattle Baron Steak & Seafood, Wilson built the brand on a commitment to quality, tradition, and community. Today, Cattle Baron proudly operates restaurants in Hobbs, Las Cruces, Portales, Roswell, and Ruidoso, New Mexico.
With over 50 fresh, made-from-scratch ingredients, our salad bar is a Cattle Baron staple — and a meal all its own. It’s the kind of tradition that keeps regulars coming back and surprises first-timers who thought we were just about steaks. Go ahead — build your plate, your way.
