Diner Reviews
  • "We were in town for Spring Training, staying at the awesome Hampton Inn & Suites at Lakeside Village. The Assistant Manager recommended this place for a great steak. She made the reservations for us and everything ended up being perfect. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all on point. When in Lakeland, we will eat here. Thanks again!"

  • "You don't come here for the service. You come here for the food. The food is amazing, except for the "house" salad.It's just gross and looks and tastes like it's old. We both had the 8oz filet mignon and I infused mine with blue cheese. We were both very pleased. Bar drinks over priced."

  • "Food, service & ambiance was excellent. This is an annual birthday destination, and they were great this time. Also, we hit this joint a couple of other times per year."

  • "The waitress was very professional with us, but she seemed disappointed when we let her know one of us had a birthday and we all ordered waters. Though I saw her interact in a more friendly and casual manner with other tables. We came on a Wednesday night, and because of online reviews we set up a reservation, but it still took several minutes to be seated. The food came out quickly though, and the filet mignon was delicious."

  • "Did not like the fact that the menu has changed. Can't upgrade you birthday dinner and I loved the cowgirl that they took off the menu for the birthday dinner. Don't like the fact that they now charge you for a baked potato. If you pay $34.00 for a steak you should not have to pay extra for a potato. Steaks have good taste but they always seem to burn it on the outside. On several occasions the chicken was burned on the outside. Prices are to high and I doubt if I will be returning just because of the menu change and charging for your potato. Love the salad, they use to always ask if you wanted more but this time they did not. We ordered blue cheese on ours which we had to ask for again because they did not put it on."

  • "We have been coming here from day one and every time it's been great. With the on-line reservation it's even better and quicker to get in and seated. The waitress was excellent and as well as the rest of the staff. If your in Lakeland and want a great place to eat this is it. Have great time."

  • "Being that this place is owned by the company that runs Charley's Steakhouse, I figured it would be good. I didn't expect it to be as good as it really was. The salad is amazing and bottomless. The escargot was one of the best I have ever had. But it's the steaks...oh, the steaks. Cooked to perfection with a really nice smokey cedar flavor that will have you yearning for more. I got the Cowboy Tbone and my wife got the NY Strip. The mashed potatoes were epic as were the potato crisps that are like small tater skins. The service was good, but we had some hiccups in the beginning (dirty silverware), but it got corrected right away. I cannot wait to go back. It's a little pricey, but worth every penney and mile to get there."

  • "Don't take them up on the offer of free birthday meal. What actually happens is they give you a $26.00 credit. However,before you can see the credit, they add an 18% gratuity charge to your bill, you can't dine alone, you have to have another paying adult. Therefore, you are only getting about a 5% deduction of your meal. Our waitress never refilled our beverage glasses and we were seated next to the bathroom. Needless to say, it was the worse birthday outing I have had in a long time. That's why I don't care to have the gratuity automatically added to your check. She certainly did not deserve it."

  • "We love TCC's food! The service could be more attentive....but, I think it's due to their being tooooo busy! I asked for a small pitcher of iced tea because I know I have to always keep asking for refills. The server said they weren't allowed to do that.??? Loved the bacon wrapped scallops!"

  • "All four of us had steak dinners at Texas Cattle Co. Delicious flavor and cooked to perfection. The "all-you-want" house salad is my wife's favorite of any restaurant. Desserts are delicious, especially the carrot cake. Two people could split one dessert. We have been dining at this restaurant since the 1980s when a retired friend took us there. We go back every year in January when we escape the cold Wiscosin weather for a month. Suggest you make reservations because this place is very busy, especially on weekends. Without a reservation you might wait up to two hours for a table."

  • "We have dined several times. This last time steak was very tough. I'm getting older and can't chew as good. Steak also was very salty. I don't think I will go back again. For the money I expect a very good steak."

  • "I have been to Texas Cattle Co. on a number of occassions and have always looked foward to returning. My feelings have changed somewhat since dining there on Valentines Day. I had to wait forty-five minutes past my reservation time to be seated, I was sat at a makeshift table near the waiter station (my chair was kicked or tripped on at least once every five minutes), and my food was very overcooked. Not to mention I also recieved the wrong sides with my meal."

  • "Even if you have a reservation in the best of restaurants, you will still have to wait on Valentines Day. We had to wait 45mins with a reservation! So, plan accordingly."

  • "This place is for the steak lover!! Aged steak cooked to perfection. Very good. Cowboy romantic atmosphere. It's dark, mood lighting. The booths are very close together and we were near the kitchen so we could hear the staff yelling and dishes rattling. The prices are quite high ( 27 bucks for the cheapest steak meal). You get salad ( they don't keep ranch dressing in the restaurant but the salad is ok. A little to much dressing for my taste). The rolls are amazing. Garlic bread, soft and yum! The steak and red mashed potatoes were both very good. It was valentines so the waitress have every lady a red rose which was nice. And our waitress Jenna was fantastic. Enjoyed her very much. Overall very good but to expensive ( 75 for 2 of us)."

  • "The birthday steak was just okay but the shrimp appetizer was excellent. Our server was very friendly and offered exceptional service throughout our dining experience. Drink prices were above the level I would expect for the quality of the ingredients. It was a nice evening but not the exceptional experience I anticipated."

  • "We really enjoyed out meals. The service was great and the waiter was very friendly. The only issue I have was the price of the potato skins;!i can't recall the name. The dish is made from one potato that is divided into 1/8 and it cost $9. This is a huge profit margin for the company that really take advantage of the customer; I would not recommend this to someone, because of the price/quantity ratio. Might I suggest 3 potatoes cut in half, a fewer number of potato skins, but still a reasonable profit for the company and customers might not feel so taken advantage of. Other than that, great place!"

  • "Husband loved his birthday dinner. Filet perfectly cooked. The special almond crusted scallops were exceptional. Would love to have an them as an entree or at least permanently on the appetizer menu."

  • "My steak was extremely Charred on the outside. I ordered it medium-well. The steak had a very small pink portion in the center. I expected the entire center to be pink and tender. I could hardly eat the charred outside because it was so Hard. Everything else was find. That's all!"

  • "Their steaks are outstanding. I usually order the Cedar Plank Salmon. It is by far the best around. However, was a bit disappointed in it on my last visit, 2/3/14. It was charred around the edges and the plank was breaking off in charred pieces. Fortunately it did not overwhelm the taste of the salmon. It was still very good. As always, the service was very good and I will go back again."

  • "Portions were large. Appetizers are fried/deep fried. Steaks were cooked as ordered. Quality of steaks not as advertised-definitely not prime-porterhouse was tough (med rare). THE WAITER WAS FRIENDLY but the service was similar to a fast food joint--not even finished with one course and the next was served--the dessert tray was presented half way through the entree course--not all tables were full so I don't understand or appreciate the rush. When I dine out especially at these prices, I expect a relaxing time. Outback would provide fully as good an experience (other than portion size) at less than half the price. Disappointed because we were looking for an upscale restaurant for special occasions --still looking"

  • "I attended Texas Cattle Company for my birthday. We had a reservation for 7pm and we had arrived at 6:45pm. We were not seated until after 7:30pm which I thought was a little rediculous because we had a reservation. My mom had ordered the pork-chop and when she receved her food she had to send it back because it was raw. Now the waiter was very attentive so far as appolgizing and taking her pork chop back. My mom did receive a new prok chop that was cooked completely within 5 to 10 minutes. Overall the food was fantastic and the waiter was wonderful, but so far as the part of having a reservation and still having to wait a length of time was a turn off for me."

  • "My recent dinner however was pretty disappointing. The server spent about 15 min going over the " Birthday Special " dinner although we said that we weren't interested in the special and seemed to feel that we needed to know amazing price detail on any changes at all to the standard offerings - This is supposed to be a " high end " Steakhouse and I felt that I was at a low end buffet ! The filet that I had was undercooked and had a little too much tough fat veins. Most of the others in our party of 8 were satisfied but not impressed with their dinners. I'm not sure that I'll try hard to come back on my next visit since there seems to be an air of decline but I might try it again since it has been good in the past !!"

  • "Food was excellent as always. Being born and raised in Lakeland, this has always been a favorite spot. My one and only frustration was that we tipped our server 48% and he said nothing about our error. It was a special occasion and we had guests so I did not scrutinize the bill when it came. Not realizing that the tip was added into the bill, I added a generous tip for the good service and food and woke in the middle of the night to the realization that the bill was too high. I got up and reviewed the receipt thinking I had paid someone else's tab only to discover that I tipped on the meal amount with a tip included."

  • "Delicious food and lots of it! We were a party of 7 and were assigned 3 servers. They stayed on top of everything and were very attentive. We had one coupon for a particular appetizer and each person at our table received it FREE...so we actually received 7 appetizers! The servers said it was a special that they just started running this month. This is a great place to celebrate birthdays because of the free steak dinner birthday special. Otherwise, it can get expensive...but if you have someone in your party celebrating a birthday, then it is worth it! The decor is outdated and rather old but it is cozy and comfortable."

  • "We had fourteen in our dinner party, two day of reservation birthdays and one we were celebrating belated. Three of the fourteen steaks were not cooked properly (two of them the birthday guest). The steaks are pricey and should be cooked as requested. Other than those three, everyone else's food was great. We had requested Christy as our waitress and when we arrived, she knew nothing about it, she was gracious and ended up working with Mindy to serve our needs. She is a Gem, she is professsional and her attention to detail are impeccable."

  • "My husband and I have been going to Texas Cattle for years. My husband and I go there every year for our anniversary which is also his birthday and I can say that a lot has changed with this restaurant. The food quantity was half of what you used to get for a higher price, the menu has changed and there is really not much to choose from on the kids menu. It's not the same romantic place that we are used too, a lot of young people working and it is to fast paced. Not completely dissatisfied but for the money spent we should have enjoyed ourselves and dinner a little more. The food and service at Texas Cattle is always good, just to many unexpected changes."

  • "I made reservations for a 6:00 pm dinner and was finally seated at 6:35. We were a party of nine stuck in a huge booth for wife's birthday. This meant everyone had to slide in and out every time someone had to use the rest room. Steak was over cooked and had to be sent back. My recommendation is don't go to this restaurant if you have a party over four."
