Cattlemans Cafe

Get off I-25 and stop for a great meal and good fast service! Homecooked and fresh! Busy place and older people come for half orders. Have never had a poor meal. Large drink glasses but we both had water.

We were on a long road trip and needed to find a place to eat. We wanted a hearty sit down meal rather than fast food. We came across Cattleman's just a little ways off the highway, and it really hit the spot. The server was very sweet and got us seated immediately and answered our questions about the menu. I guess she really sold us on the chicken fried steak since 3 out of 4 of us ordered that, and it did not disappoint! It was hand breaded with just the right ratio of meat to breading. Each meal starts with some of their homemade rolls, which were warm and dense and yummy. We also started with the hand breaded onion rings, which were a hit with everyone at our table. Whether you live in the area, or are just passing through, this is an excellent choice for your next meal.

I didn't expect much from this place but there were not many options when traveling on a Monday afternoon. My husband had stopped here on his drive west and loved what he got so on the way back home we stopped here for lunch. And yes husband ordered exact same meal(meatloaf). The positives about this place 1. Friendly service 2. Fresh hot yeast rolls 3. Great meatloaf (I kinda liked it & usually I abhor meatloaf) and 4. Open on Monday! Downside was almost all fried food with exception of salads. However my salad was a bit disappointing. Menu stated 3 types of lettuce but I only identified iceberg which I picked out quite a few bad pieces. The chicken on my salad was delicious. I ordered the salad without onions but it came with them much to our waitresses dismay. She started to take it back but I stopped her. It was nice of her notice and offer to replace. Their beverages are served in ginormous glasses. They have iced tea both sweet and unsweetened- I got half and half. It is a super casual place catering mostly locals but welcoming for travelers too.

Great service, delicious food! If you are driving on I70W, worth the short drive off the interstate for real food, relatively fast!! I had a grilled cheese and fries, my husband had ribs, and he LOVED them. Said they were "pretty darn good!" Oh, and they serve fresh rolls with your order!!

So this is comfort food to the max. SO yummy!! I got the pot roast, which was ridiculously tender, fried okra, and mashed potatoes. My hubby got the meatloaf with the same sides. Our waitress was so sweet and everything was delicious!!

Driving through on a road trip to visit family and had the pot roast which was on special for the day. It was excellent. Home-style American menu.

This was an alright place to eat. We came for lunch and there was a huge bus load of people from a travel tour group. We were able to get a seat quickly and food came quickly as well. The drinks are served in a huge tall cup but it consisted of 90% ice. Free refills, but still, not much drink on hand before a refill is needed. Our group had a mix of the fried chicken sandwich, fried chicken steak and burgers. I had the mushroom burger and I thought it was pretty good. The fries were actually very tasty. Had a bite of the fried chicken steak with white sauce and thought it was pretty bland/lacked flavor. Overall the food was fine given we chose this place based on the fact it was traditional American food. Note that they don't have any desserts on their menu!

4 of us went (parents and hubby), the food was good and hit the spot for a homestyle food place I was craving and my parents love. Meals come with dinner rolls - who doesn't love that- portion sizes were good for the price. We had fish and chips, chicken fried steak fingers, honestly can't recall what my husband had. Fingers with mashed potatoes were good, mom liked her fish. I wish the water came in glass and not plastic cups and the tables were cleaner. Service was fine, we would come back, frankly not many choices in Hays.

onion rings and rolls were great. Hubby loved the chicken fried steak. Service was great as well

Food is amazing. Sirloin and chicken fried steak sandwich was the best meal we've had in hays Kansas. The staff is great very nice helpful and fast. Nice place good parking. You won't be disappointed
