Can I order a gift certificate by e-mail?
We are sorry, but we currently do not offer any services via e-mail other than information. The easiest way to acquire a gift certificate without coming in would be to call M-F 9AM and 5PM and ask for Jeanie. She will be able to take your credit card information over the phone and mail you one directly to your address or another address of choice.
Are you open Thanksgiving Day, if so what hours? Are you in Mountain or Central Time Zone? Is the Steak Ranch accessible from Hwy 62-180 north of Fabens? There appears to be a blacktopped road going south from near the Hueco Tanks turn-off. Thank you for your time.
Yes, we're open on Thanksgiving Day. One of our biggest days of the year in fact. Our hours can change from year to year; so, we'd recommend that you check out our website as the Holidays approach for set hours. We're in Mountain Time (Denver). Yes, the ranch is accessible from the Hueco Tanks turn-off heading South. However, it's a very rough ride on average and not recommended. And, it certainly isn't a time saver per se due to the many pot holes and bad ride in general.
Hi there - do you all offer any kind of guided tours for any of the attractions on your property? Had friends who've taken wagon rides as well as guided tours of the premises in the past year or so & wanted to make sure that those are still going on
We do offer hayrides on sundays, however, we do not normally offer guided tours. Fortunately, you'll discover that most of our ranch is accessible and self-explanatory. We do have signs up on each zoo exhibit and, there are some neatly accessible walking paths throughout the ranch: from the lake walkways to the antique wagon road ... I believe you'll find our ranch fun and easy to explore. Of course, dinner is even better after a hike on the ranch. We look forward to seeing you!
We will be driving from Calif to San Antonio and heard about your restaurant. We are planning on stopping to enjoy your food. Is there any motels, etc near you. We would like spending the night on a stop over and enjoy your restaurant.
The closest motel is on the corner of IH-10 and FM 793 (The Cattleman's road) ... another nearby motel is about 10 miles west of us at the Clint Exit. There are many more to choose from within El Paso ... and, still you would only be 20-30 minutes from our ranch.

Do you still offer horseback riding?
Thanks for your interest. We currently do not offer any horseback riding. And, really, we do not know of anyone offering horseback riding in the El Paso vicinity. Notwithstanding, we do have other activities available ... such as our hayrides, zoo and maze ...
We run hayrides only on Sundays (weather permitting). They start at 1PM and go until 7PM. There is one hayride per hour, and it lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. Hayrides are free for customers who have eaten, $2.00 for others.
Another resource for horseback riding of which you might consider would be:
http://www.elpasocvb.com
They do have a few references to horseback riding in the EP vicinity ... unfortunately, I couldn't find anything specific. So, you might want to e-mail them for further possibilities.
I was wondering if you sell your steak seasoning? Please let me know. Thanks.
Currently, we do not sell it, but maybe we'll soon be offering it in our gift shop (located in the Steakhouse). Stay tuned on our website for updates on upcoming retail products offered.
I am planning a trip out West and came across your steak house web site. I noticed that you have parking for Bus and RV's. I tried to find a campground near your location and couldn't. Do you allow RV's to park overnight in your parking lot or any place close by? If you don't then could you tell me where the nearest campgrounds are or a place to boondock in the area. Thank you in advance for your help.
RVs are welcome to stay overnight as long as you're dining in our Steakhouse. We do not have any RV hookups though. No electric, water, or septic.
We are planning to take our family out for dinner on Sat, May 10. Do you still offer hay rides?
If so, would you please send me some information regarding times and prices? What other attractions are available?
I was so glad to see how much you've grown. I have been gone from El Paso for over twenty years. I am looking forward to visiting your ranch after all this time.
We run hayrides only on sundays. They start at 1PM and go until 7PM. There is one hayride per hour, and it lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. Hayrides are free for customers who have eaten, $2.00 for others. We also offer a playground, an antique wagon display, a lake walk, a zoo, and a maze. Lots of fun, lots to do and a lot to eat!
I was wondering what i needed to make reservations for Mothers Day this year, 5/11/08. I understand that that is a very busy holiday and I think I should have made them sooner, but if you could let me know what i needed, like a deposit or what not. It may be for 7 adults and one child or 9 adults and 3 children, not totally sure how many people are coming into town. Your help is very appreciated. Thank you!
We do not take reservations. Mother's Day is our busiest day of the year. Two to three hour waits are the norm for that day, so we actually encourage customers to try to come on a different day if possible. Also, we do not seat partial groups on that day. Everyone in the party must be present before your name goes on the waiting list.
Do you ship steaks out to California?
Currently, as of January 1, 2009, we're not shipping our steaks ... We have in the works a mail order business ... it will still be some time before implemented (no dates are set). Be sure to stay tuned on our website homepage: "CattlemansRanch.com" for further updates. We do appreciate your interest and hope to soon be offering this option. If you have someone that you know, passing through, or living in our vicinity, our steaks can be picked up directly on site ... on ice and with or without seasoning.
Do you take reservations? If so, is this too early to make resv for 2 for dinner on Jan 1, 2009? We are coming out from Pittsburgh for the Sun Bowl and have been told this is the place. I see you close @ 9:00 P.M. on the 1st, so we plan to get there at 5:00 P.M. have a drink or 2 and dinner. Please let me know when you can. Never been to El Paso so we're looking fwd to the trip.
Thanks for writing. Yes, "this is the place" so you were informed correctly. We appreciate your consideration in asking about making a reservation. We do not take reservations; our doors are open to one and all without reservations. (we do book parties of 15 or more though) If you arrive at 5 PM, you'll have plenty of time to have drinks and be seated comfortably. Thank You and we hope to see you out for dinner on the 1st.
I will be traveling to the El Paso area the weekend of Feb 6-8. We are considering trying to get a group of us to eat at your steak house but before selling others, we need to know prices. Can you send me a menu with your prices?
Thanks for writing. We appreciate your interest in acquiring the pricing on our menu items.
Our online menu is located at:
http://www.cattlemansranch.com/menu.htm
You may have already seen this menu online ... and, as you can see, we don't advertise our pricing online due to some proprietary issues.
However, you're welcome to use this menu online to assess what you're considering ordering; gain an overview of all of our entrees, sides and desserts; and, then, if you'd like to know the cost of those specific items, call our office at 915-544-3200. Our office staff is on hand M-F up to 5 PM; they will be more than happy to provide pricing on any and all menu items in question.
All our best and we hope your group does decide on dining with us ... be sure to get back with us if we can assist further in any way.
