Van Horn Cattle Company

Nice place for families and travelers to get a good meal. Has a full bar in the center with two comfortable dining rooms to either side. Unobtrusive TV in the dining room was showing an NFL game with the sound off when I was there.Good local beer list (local includes Texas and New Mexico breweries) and a pretty large wine list. We had the hummus and veggies appetizer which was surprisingly delicious. The tortilla strip chips were fresh and warm, melted in the mouth. The hummus was also fantastic. The dish came with celery sticks and baby carrots as well. I had the pork chop that came with beans and macaroni salad. The pork was seasoned well and covered with sweet barbecue sauce. The meat was done perfectly. The chop was served with the bone attached like a handle which looked nice and was useful for holding up the last bits to be licked off. I thought the beans were good, maybe could have had more seasoning, and the macaroni salad was better than I imagined. A very good meal. Staff was friendly and attentive. Service was good. The restaurant was decorated with lots of greenery, a Christmas tree, and some colorful lights for the holiday season.

Van Horn is terribly lacking in restaurants and the ones that are open tend to be fast food, pizza etc. or closed on the weekend when we are traveling thru town. I went to this restaurant with the intent of ordering to take away and they wouldn't even take my order because they had just sat a large family (8 or so) and said the kitchen couldn't handle my order. No one else was seated...I think how this could have been handled better is telling me the wait would be long and have me take a seat at the bar while waiting on my order. Instead they shut down service altogether. I went to the only other restaurant in VH, ordered my food and had a beverage while waiting.

The wife and I stayed the night in Van Horn and saw this restaurant on Yelp. Forgetting it was Friday night and they'd be busy we just walked in and the young hostess was very friendly and did get us a table rather quickly. We decided to share a steak dinner but were shocked to hear they charge $5.95 for an extra plate. But the waitress gave us the baked potato to offset it. The steak came out perfectly cooked. There were some tough parts but the parts that weren't tough were very yummy. The char and flavor were delicious. Green beans were a little under cooked but other than that an over all good meal. They had karaoke going in the bar area which was ok. Would we go back?? Probably so not many choices in Van Horn.

Came here after a long day of travel and it was really nice. We were seated immediately (arrived before the rush) and had very polite and prompt service. Good comfort food and a pleasant atmosphere. It was decorated for the holidays when we were there and seemed festive and cozy (fireplace, traditional decor, nice wood accents). Would recommend.

Stopped in van horn for night after a day of driving. Since this seemed to be the only place to eat near my hotel I gave it a shotThe place was busy since it was New Year's Eve but it was new years. The hostess appeared to be a little ruffled. She was young I think newer and my guess would be hadn't really dealt with a real busy night. That being said I was sat after about 30 min. I was excited to try this Texas steakhouse since I love a good steak. Now I will say me and wife go to a top end steakhouse at least once a year where we will pay upwards of $350+. This is my one indulgence. We have also tried all the bbq joints in Austin and other places. So I feel I'm a pretty good judge of steak. I got the ribeye med rare. It came with two sides and was only $29. I got a side salad that was only $5. Can't beat that price. I almost pay that for a prime rib eye at the store that I have to cook. The steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. This was the best ribeye I've had outside of paying $90 for just the steak. The sides were also good. The garlic mash had good flavor but I wish they were creamier. I love steak fries so got those as well and they were great. And the side salad was solid. It comes with a chipotle ranch. Had to finish off with apple cobbler and it was great. Now this isn't a culinary journey but for the price you get a good meal and a very good steak. Highly recommend.

I had the 12oz Rib-eye. Cooked medium rare. The cook was spot on. Excellently cooked. Wife had beer battered chicken fried steak. This was also cooked perfectly. Excellent customer service. The area we were seated at was open and spacious. Also had some live music during our visit. We will definitely go back when in the area.

The Van Horn Cattle Company is the best reason to stop in Van Horn. Steaks are cooked perfectly. One of the few places who offer a flat iron steak. Garlic mashed and fresh green beans. And go for the apple cobbler with cinnamon ice cream. Down home casual and service is great

My food was practically raw the fries where are undercooked and cold 1 hour for a single table 30 minutes for the food waiter was so rude and forgot about me overall terrible never coming again

We were traveling to Arizona and were getting hungry, so we took a chance on this restaurant. So glad we did. Excellent service, excellent food and the prices are very fair. The decor was beautiful. Our waitress was so helpful and knowledgeable of the menu. Will definitely stop in again if our travels allow us.

This is a very nice family oriented place. Food service and ambiance are top notch. We each had a steak which were very good and substituted the salad for the sides. It was big and fresh. Highly recommend the restaurant and will go back.
