Cattleman's Club Steakhouse

It's a very basic menu place. Sirloin was decent. Cook on steak was decent a more done then I liked but not enough to send back. I am sure with what they say they would have redone it. Salad was a good with little toppings box they bring out. Toast was ok. Drinks were reasonably prices. Chocolate cake was good. A little high priced for what I got medium to med well should have been a medium but it was also a thicker cut. Waitress and bar people were are really nice and attentive.

ordered a steak well done and it was tough and burnt. the fried fish was very greasy! Burger was very tasty ! • Add photos & videos

After driving 10 hours, the food, service and atmosphere were what we needed and appreciated! We actually drove 1.5 hours out of our way because my spouse said he LOVED it here before. Key point: —they don’t take reservations. Don’t worry they have a large waiting area inside. So grab a drink and enjoy the free smells. We only waited 30 min after arriving on a Wednesday night at 730pm. Not only did our server (we believe her name was Cindy) do a fantastic job but the owner Cindy herself came over to check on the meal and how we were doing. That doesn’t happen at very many places anymore! Love the story of how this restaurant came to be. From one small business owner to another… KEEP ROCKING IT!

Great place, it is always on our list for a stop when we are in the area. Great 8 oz steak. One of our favorites, love the sawdust on floor.

Got served by Danielle. She's delightful and very professional. I prefer my steak medium well but there was a notice on the menu that they can't guarantee that. Danielle assured me that it would be fine. I'm so glad I listened. This is definitely one of the best steaks I have ever had in my life. You can tell that the seasoning took up real estate in the meat for some time now. Every plate in the house was empty. This was an amazing meal. The next time I pass through this town, this is a must visit.

Great atmosphere and the steak was amazing. We sat at the bar and had a great time. This will be a stop everytime we are in Pierre SD.

Amazing steaks, appetizers and drinks. Service was very good too. Must visit when in the Pierre area!

Worst dining experience ever. I ordered 20oz prime rib and received a steak that was at least 30% fat. It was disgusting to even look at. I informed the waitress, she left and returned insistent that I take it. I refused explaining that I don’t want all that fat. I ordered STEAK. She left, then the owner, Cindy (tall white-haired female), came back with the steak flipped over on the plate insisting that all prime rib is like that. I explained that I have eaten many and never had one served with so much fat. I mentioned I would pay for 20oz steak not fat. Her reply was that she has to pay for the fat! She even suggested I feed it to my dog. UNBELIEVABLE!!! She bragged that their steaks were world famous and definitively stated I was going to pay for it whether I wanted it or not. In order to avoid what appeared to be a situation that would involve law enforcement, I paid and left the waitress a $30 tip…poor thing seemed to be doing her best in a very awkward situation. I gave atmosphere 2 stars, because she was so polite. Also, the side items are small…maybe 10-15 sweet potato fries. If you order the baked yam, they cut one potato into maybe three pieces and bring you 1/3 of it. What a shame. Anyhow, if you eat fat, you’ll love this place. If I pay $43 for a steak dinner, I expect more than what was forced on me. I trimmed all the fat away and left it; it literally filled the plate (see photo). I had a much better experience at The Longbranch Restaurant & Bar in Pierre. It may not be world renowned but great service and respect for customers. See review.

Prime rib and Porterhouse was fabulous . Very relaxing ambiance. Once seated service was great.

Fabulous steaks. Incredible service. Seasoned perfectly and great cocktails highly recommended to anyone!

This is THE place for steak in the area. Absolutely hit the spot on a recent trip to town. If you order prime rib, be sure to ask for their horseradish sauce. A lot more horseradish than sauce and really compliments the meal. Like most good steak places, the weight shown on the menu is nothing like what shows up on your plate. Yeah, that was a 10-ounce chunk of prime rib. Riiiiight! Delicious beef dishes, good sides, solid service and a location that's off the beaten path - this place has my name written all over it!

I was in Pierre for work and I wanted to grab something to eat before I had to drive to Sioux Falls. I went around 530P on a Wednesday so less than half the tables were full. I'm not normally a fan of Prime Rib but it seemed like it was their specialty so I gave it a shot. I got a house salad with raspberry vinaigrette and Buffalo chips as my sides. The salad came out as a bowl of lettuce with dressing. They bring a caddy with shaved carrots, chopped red onion, chopped cabbage and shredded cheddar cheese. It hadn't seen that in a while. The prime rib was cooked perfectly. It is served on a plate by itself in a pool of au jus. The Buffalo chips are their version of seasoned fries. They have a little spice but it's not strong at all. I think al dinners also come with homemade Texas toast. The staff was very friendly and they recommended the best route to Sioux Falls to avoid traffic. I don't make it to Pierre often but I will definitely come back the next time I'm in town.

The steaks were fabulous. Cooked to perfection. The Service couldn't have been better. Holly was very attentive even though the place was packed. The Cowboy ambiance is everywhere. Fr9m the wood chips on the floor to rodeo on the is a keeper.

They have a rely good medium rare steak. The service was really nice. if you ask for something you That people don't get they will get if for you. You can joke around with them.

Previous visits in 2010 and 2013, and reconfirming after my 2023 visit--this is STILL the best, most fun steakhouse in the Dakota's!

Awesome place! Food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We had dinner on a Tuesday night and the place was full! If you are looking for a fun night out, this is the place.

Fun place good steaks with an authentic country feel. Service was good despite being busy.

The best. Can't believe Mad Marrys is still going as expensive as it is and the steaks aren't even close to the Cattlemans quality.

Great food! Great service ! Great atmosphere! If the juiciest most flavorful streak to grace my plate wasn't enough, then the friendliest service was! Also, who cannot help but fall in love with the beautiful scenery that is displayed out the windows of this very nice establishment.

When here with a rather large group. Place was already packed. But they worked us in and we all had a great time. Food was warm and fresh. Service was great!

Having been in Pierre for 4 nights pheasant hunting we were looking for some better places to eat. With some places closed due to Covid our options were more limited than usual. We did a quick search and found Cattleman's Club and I am glad we did. It will certainly become a regular place for us each year. We had a group of 10 guys, and we were hungry! We did not have to wait very long on a Tuesday night, but the parking lot was full. The appetizers we ordered were the fried mushroom, fried avocado slices, fried pickles and the Cowboy bites. All of them were really good. The Cowboy bites were labeled as "hot" but they were not at all, at least to me. Several order the prime rib, which was huge and very tasty, as were the ribeye steaks. I ordered "Ron's Pile" and it was fantastic. The picture doesn't show the actual size and height of the food on this plate. All of us were completely stuffed when we left there. This place has an interesting story which you can read about while waiting for your food. The staff took excellent care of us and they were very friendly. This will be an annual stop for us at least once, if not twice while we are in town.

Great food. Efficient service. Awesome atmosphere & vibe. Beautiful view. Will be back!

The food is always good and the people that work there are always so polite and wonderful; however, with the small dining room it's very loud with all the people talking. Also, it's a very popular spot so it fills up fast. Make sure you have plenty of time to sit, relax, and enjoy your food.

This location has a beautiful setting next to the water. Try to get a table next to the windows. The four of us split a 20 oz. prime, the 24 oz. bone-in ribeye, a few extra sides, and a fried dill pickle chips app. The pickle chips were yummy, but note they have a bit of spice to them. You could tell the meats were quality. Texas toast wasn't anything speciWe ate everything and were satisfied.

Cattleman's is a staple in the Pierre community. If you want a seat you better arrive early because there's already a line waiting at the door. It's the epitome of a western steak joint, busting at the seams with cowboys, ranchers, and saw dust. They have a great assortment of beer and spirits. The atmosphere is noisy, so it's not a place to eat if your looking for a lengthy chatter! In terms of food it can't be beat, my wife swears it's the best burger she has ever had! Personally I am partial to the Prime rib. Make sure you get a side of horseradish, it's the real deal and it's exceptional. I also always get mushrooms and onions, and it really elevates the prime rib. In addition, with the prime rib you get two side. The salads are good, and the bake potato's never disappoint. I'm not sure there's a meal here you can go wrong with. I always leave satisfied and with a heavy container of leftovers.

Great food, quick friendly service. Lucky enough to catch the sunset off the river. Can see why it's a locals favorite

Nice place, friendly staff and manager but came for the steak! Had the ribeye and flavor was very good but very tough. 6 of us all had different cuts and all said same. We didn't try the Prime but next time i will. Nothing special but a real nice place and people. Thanks

We had never been here, and from Yelp reviews we decided to give it a try. We ere promptly greeted at the door, she asked if there was two of us we said no for the other two were behind us. She said OK. The next gentleman walked up and said how many we at the same time as the hostess, Status to with the other to close behind. He then stated, "well I hope so" to which I replied "me too". Honestly that comment kept me from giving them 5 stars as I did not think that was professional. There were many empty tables and no one waiting to be seated. That being said, our waitress was awesome, took our appetizer order of fried avocado which was excellent, and my New York State was top notch! My wife's prime rib was OK, giving it roughly 3 out of five, my steak was five out of five. The sides were very good as were the drinks. I will try this again and suggest you visit as well.

Cattleman's serves a *great* steak. It is almost always busy there, but is not a 'white tablecloth' steakhouse. It's a casual place-- sawdust on the floor, busy wait-staff. There can be a wait; we had a large group as well as reservation, so were seated after having a round of drinks at the bar. I had a bone-in ribeye and it was much better than a steak costing twice the price at some well-known chain steakhouses seen in bigger cities. [you know the types of places I'm talking about :) ] The sides are good but not over-the-top. Get the great cut of meat, baked potato & you're off to the races

Best steak I've ever had. Party of 10 and had great service. Not a long wait. Highly recommend

Popular with locals and busy right after opening. We shared an order of fried breaded green beans with a wasabi sauce; very tasty! Good selection of beers. I enjoyed an Alaskan Amber and my wife had a shandy with her nice filet, yam and side salad. I had a 10oz slice of medium rare prime rib with baked potato and steamed broccoli. We enjoyed our meal, the service was friendly and the prices were in line with the quality and quantity of the food. It's a few miles out of town, but worth the drive if you are looking for a restaurant with local vibe and decent food.

After a great day of hunting the Cattleman's Club was a perfect choice for dinner. I had the prime rib with loaded baked potato which was done to perfection. To top is off our table ordered pitchers of Brandy Alexander's, which filled in the cracks. The Cattleman's Club is a must visit, and I am already looking forward to next year.

Traveling through a few midwestern states for vacation( we are from LA, Calif) we stopped to have dinner on our last night here in SD. The staff is really nice. They have a great selection of local beers. A fav was Wasatch Apricot Hefeweizen. I had the tomato bisque soup. Soooo delicious! We ate top sirloin steaks and they were awesome! Very tender. We also had the beer sampler before dinner. We met a local Kevin who knew the family and we had a very pleasant conversation I definitely recommend this place. It's the best steak I have ever eaten!

This place has the burgers #1 in Pierre $wasn't expensive and the staff was excellent look for the lady at counter super nice

We enjoyed this place. It's got a pretty view of the lake and nice, friendly service. We both had the 6 oz filet and they were good but not great. Sweet potato fries were delicious. The portions of food were quite large. We probably could have split a meal.

Killer steaks. Get there early to have more choices, they sell out of some kinds each night. Fun rustic sawdust floor and 5 star food.

Most amazing steakhouse in Pierre Sd. Their steaks and prime web were out of this world. You will need more than a regular appetite to clean your plate here. Expect a little wait to be seated because this is a local Mecca and it's worth the wait. Our waitress was on her toes and provided exceptional service along with a personal touch to make this one of our favorite stops in Pierre. One particular item caught our attention and approval - along with our fresh salad came a tray with additional add ons - cheese, onions, cabbage, and shredded carrots. If you only have time for one Restuarant in Pierre, this is a must stop. Prime rib was perfectly prepared, as was their ground sirloin. Flavor abounds in every item. Like we used to say growing up - try it, you will like it.

First time in Pierre, so I looked for somewhere to eat and the Cattleman's Club sounded perfect. Drove out there and was seated by owner Cindy at the bar and received a Shiner Bock quickly. Ordered the ribeye with sautéed mushrooms and onions, which was excellent. Very tender and tasty, would definitely order again. Cold beer, great steak and service by Brian the bartender as well. I just wish it wasn't so far from Minnesota! The river view is something to see as well.

Over-hyped. Service was pretty good, not great. Servers had a lot to do. Steak was good. Sirloin, I thought could have been tenderized more. Pretty close to outback. Salad was small and all iceberg (no nutrients, taste, roughage or appeal). Spicy corn soup was very good. CANNED green beans.... soggy, tasteless crap!

Yummy steaks. Wow. Fantastic views also. The wait staff were very friendly. The only minor thing was the small baked potato.

By far the best steakhouse I have ever been to. This is a diamond in the rough. I wish I lived closer so I could come back once a month. Prices are amazing, but more importantly; so is the food! It's set on the Missouri River with the perfect view point. The steak I had was cooked perfectly and the chicken and rice soup was the best I've ever had. The staff is extremely friendly as you would expect for pierre hospitality. Can't wait to come back here!

As of today, I have written 554 reviews. Of any/all reviews I have written about prime rib, please disregard. Why? Because tonight I just ate the best prime rib I have ever eaten!! Here's the deal: We arrived at Cattleman's Club at 5pm. The parking lot was filling up fast. We went in and sat at the bar (most of their patron's wanted tables since it was Saturday night). Ordered a bottle of Zinfandel wine. Then had a dinner salad with French & blue cheese dressings. The lettuce tasted as if it had just come from the field, truly fresh. For my entrée, I had the 24oz prime rib, medium rare. OK folks, this meat was unbelievable! Not just the size, but the texture, flavor, taste, everything. It was so good, I cannot find the best description!! Forget the east coast or west coast. You need to come to Pierre, SD for this steak! Oh, and the staff are great too!

There may not be a lot of activities to do in Pierre, SD but eating a good steak is one of them. Cattleman's is outside of town and very authentic ranch feel to the restaurant. The recommendations I were given in the menu were spot on and the amount of meat I ate put me in a meat comma for days. The steak was so flavorful I couldn't stop myself from eating the whole thing.

Cindy and her family have been doing this better than anyone else for years! If you're in Pierre, there is only one place to eat. Myril's place. It's the best for miles and miles around! Sirloin done right!

WOW, I eat steak all over the US and this is one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. I had the ribeye. It was perfect. Here on a business dinner. Service was outstanding and the view over the river was perfect. Meet the owners. The bar is cool and they have saw dust all over the floor, This is a must eat at while in town.

Having lived in urban areas and cities my whole life, I charmed by the rustic nature of the place and the sawdust on the floor. Without the sawdust, it would be quite slippery as I discovered when I almost became acquainted with this establishment horizontally. We arrived at 9:30pm and were impressed that they sat us and fed us when they closed at 10pm. The salad comes with romaine lettuce and whatever dressing, then you can top with carrots, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and/or cabbage. They had a great selection of wine and beer and I decided to go with a Cabernet. Impressed by the 8oz sirloin for $12.99, I chose that topped with mushrooms with baked potato as my side (for $0.99). My husband ordered the 6oz double wrapped in bacon filet mignon. Our steaks came out excellent prepared, juicy and delicious. Lots of flavor and quality beef. Was definitely seasoned to perfection and not too salty, either. For the price we paid and the quality of the beef, I would definitely return. A place recommended by locals as a good spot. I'm glad we came here because other places in town had steaks priced much higher.

I was on a cross country road trip with my boyfriend, and as we neared the eastern half of the country we realized that we had not taken the time to get a great steak! Instead of keeping with our planned route, we ventured up to Pierre in hopes of finding just that. We found the Cattleman's Club on yelp and decided that was our destination. Everything we had was amazing and just what we were looking for. I don't remember the last time I had such a great steak. The boyfriend got an enormous cut of steak, and my smaller portion was excellent. This was definitely one of the highlights of our road trip! If you ever happen to be in the area, give this place a try!

I got a recommendation for this place from a friendly South Dakota Highway Patrol State Trooper after he finished writing me a speeding ticket that I totally deserved. They were open late which fit my schedule. The service was outstanding and the mix of classic country music from my college years 1988-1993 brought back lots of memories. The people were as friendly as could be. The only downside was that my steak wasn't cooked as well as I would have liked it. They offered to cook it more but, I was tired and just wanted to finish my meal. If I ever make it back to Pierre, I'd definitely try them again.

This is a must stop when you are in Pierre. If you don't get there when they open though be prepared to wait a long time and by get there when it opens I mean 10 minutes early and stand in line at the door. It is all worth it from the sawdust on the floor to the wrap around bar. The steak is one of the best I have had anywhere, the salad comes with just lettuce and then they bring a veggie tray with carrots, cabbage, onions and cheese for you to add what you want. The Dill pickle chips are awesome and the wait staff is so friendly.

Great people, great food and sawdust on the floor !! What else could you ask for ??? Highly recommended and a must go when in Pierre, South Dakota - where thank god you can still love your country, vote TRUMP and not be bothered by leftwing communists !!!!!

Below average. For all the hype, it was a disappointment too be sure. The prime rib had an uneven cook, was flavorless and gritty. Service was sub part as well. Would not bother with this place. Not worth the time or $.

This is absolutely the best prime rib I have ever eaten. My husband really raved about his ribeye. Salad was great. Wine reasonable. Angie was terrific!

Every time I am in town with my family from Omaha, Ne we visit the Cattlemans. It's a family tradition, if anything. The nostalgia of the sawdust on the floor, the layout of the building, simplistic ambiance, and the good food all meld together in this place to form a wonderful country restaurant. The steak is really good, the staff is pretty good, and the beer is always cold. Downside is the sides are fairly mediocre such as the salads, mushrooms from a can, and the simple baked potato but that's how things are done in meat/potato country. I will keep coming back.

A bit of a drive outside Pierre but worth it! The floor is covered in sawdust which gives it that rustic feel. I went here for a business dinner and it was fantastic. You won't go away hungry from this place!

You will not find a better steak anywhere. I have had great steaks all over and none of them quite measure up to a steak at Cattleman's Club in Pierre, SD. The atmosphere is old west style with sawdust on the floor. It's bright and loud. It's not the spot for a quiet dinner. But if you're looking for the best steak, cooked to perfection, that you will ever have, then look no further. Fair warning: this place can get VERY busy during certain times of the year. Go early if possible.

Out of all the years I lived in Pierre, South Dakota, I can't believe I've never eaten here until this past weekend. I was in town from Omaha NE to be with family and they decided they wanted to dine at Cattlemans. We arrived at the restaurant pretty much at opening and were seated immediately. Our waitress was phenomenal in addition to being humorous and friendly (I wish I could remember her name). As for the atmosphere; it was friendly, sort of fast paced and welcoming. When I got my 10 oz prime rib, it was exactly to order and melted like warm butter when I sliced into it. Out of all of my favorite steakhouses and places I've eaten, this is the best prime rib I've ever had! Price wise, the Cattleman's is pretty reasonable and competitive for what you get. As far as cleanliness goes, the place was spotless. I was impressed with the topping tray the waitress brought for the salads. It had different things such as shredded carrots, onions mushrooms, and other stuff you could top your salad with. I will definitely be back and will highly recommend this place to friends that go up to Pierre to fish and hunt.

Best prime rib that I have ever had in my life. I'm from Chicago and have been here twice on this trip. Cut it with a fork. Everyone here is very nice too! You won't be disappointed. Nice view of the river. But come for the steaks!
