As first time visitors to Roswell, we asked at our Hampton Inn for a good restaurant and the desk attendant recommended the Cattle Baron Steak & Seafood. We took her word for it and ate dinner there 9-24-07. Hubby had the 8 oz sirloin club with baked potato and chicken noodle soup. His steak was cooked as ordered and the soup was delicious. Our baked potatoes were perfect, served with bacon and cheese with sour cream and butter on the side. I ordered the 8 oz prime rib, medium rare, and as prime rib goes, it was flavorful but a bit chewy. I can't get past the gristle around the edges and this piece had a little too much fat but again, the flavor was good. I took a turn at the GIGANTIC salad bar and was impressed by the selection of fresh fruit, light desserts, pasta and rice salad, fresh vegetables and even the salad mix was light and fresh, although it was made up of iceberg lettuce.
All around, we had a very good meal at a reasonable price. My steak was priced at $17.50 and hubby's at $14.95 and with the inclusion of the GREAT salad/soup bar, we agree that the meals were priced right.
Next time you are in Roswell, NM, don't hesitate to eat a lunch or dinner meal with the great folks at the Cattle Baron. You won't go away hungry or disappointed.
