Our waitress was helpful, but she brought us somebody else's Bill, triple the size of our check. And then we couldn't find her for at least another 10 minutes. The sign at the front cash register stated if you decided to use cash they would give you a 3 1/2% discount off the menu prices. See the picture that I have enclosed. When we got our check we found out otherwise that the menu prices were prior to them adding the 3 1/2% on top of that. so basically when you look at the menu, you're looking at a cash menu pricing and no where does it state that. Very very deceptive on their part. The manager, Lee, offered to bribe me 10% not to leave a bad review. Not gonna happen, because they are going to rip off other people. The only way that this is legitimate is if you change your signing at the front and change your signing on the menu. Creepy all around. Other businesses when they want to recoup their merchant fees simply say, credit cards will incur a 3 1/2% additional fee. Cattle Baron refuse to use that wording. No Truth here..

I've been coming here for many years, and I was a previous employee in another cattle baron location and I worked many times at the ruidoso location when the original owner was alive (Mr Wilson). So it's hard writing this review, but this is by far the worst dining experience I have had. I ordered a 14 oz ribeye, and at least 10oz of it was fat and tendon. I know ribeye is fatty, but come on. Plus, on top of that, any actual meat was bland. The mashed potatoes were DRY like powdered potatoes and tasteless. Service was good, no complaints, and I didn't bother sending anything back, I just wanted out of there. Im 100% positive these dining standards would be far below Mr Wilson's (the original owner) expectations. Sadly, its safe to say my family and I won't be returning the cattle baron ruidoso👎👎 Don't waste your money it's better and cheaper to buy and grill your own meat.

We were greeted and seated promptly, however it did take a while to get acknowledged by our waiter. The food was not as good as I was expecting. Salad bar and the appetizer sampler was the best thing out of the meal. We ordered the NY strip 10oz and a kids sirloin. The kids sirloin was very dry and tasteless and the NY strip was decent but a good steak should not require A1 to taste good. And it needed it. The sides were small in proportion, it was about a small scoop of mashed potatoes with gravy. I also ordered a pomegranate margarita which tasted like sweet and sour with juice, no liquor was tasted. I got more of a buz from a corona at Pizza Hut. Overall the food was overpriced and the service was not great. The sever could have been having a rough day so we still tipped fairly however I recommend going else where for a tasty meal.
