The Cattlemen's Grill - Harrogate

This was my first time in Harrogate but I was really in the mood for a good burger. The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere and the staff were efficient and friendly. I ordered the Cheesy burger and chips, which was cooked perfectly and delicious. The portion of chips was a bit small but still satisfying. The Blueberry pie for dessert was a fantastic way to end the meal. I can't speak for the steak, but it seemed like the other diners were enjoying their meals. The burger was a bit on the expensive side compared to others in the area, but overall it was a nice experience and really hit the spot.

This restaurant used to be a great steakhouse with Tex-Mex cuisine. While it was on the pricier side, you used to get what you paid for. However, my last visit was disappointing. I dined with my family (6 adults and 2 kids) and we ordered a variety of dishes from the menu. Unfortunately, the steaks were of poor quality and not cooked to the requested doneness (medium rare came out well done, for example), the burgers were dry, and the Mexican dishes were served cold. The staff appeared distracted and, although they apologized, they didn't seem to truly care. It's a shame that this restaurant, which used to be a favorite, has declined in quality.

I dined at this restaurant in November 2010 and unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed. Despite having enjoyed decent meals here before, I found the ambiance of the room to be a bit cold and my steak was not as warm as I would have liked. The salad that came with it was also quite uninspired. While this restaurant has had a great reputation in the past, it did not meet my expectations during my most recent visit.

I booked the Cattlemans as it was recomended by someone who had been there several years ago and had a great meal. By all accounts it used to be a top steak house. We were a party of and we all had a steak. Out of the only had been cooked correctly. I sent my cremated medium well, bone dry steak back and it came back less than later as a rare steak with blood oozing out all over the plate but again burnt on the outside! This was a fillet and they got it wrong twice. Even the two steaks that had been cooked OK were nothing special and of us didn't enjoy our meal. This was on top of the fact the meals took over an hour to come in the first place and the chips were barely warm when they arrived. The final insult came when I paid the bill. I had a discount voucher from Harrogate Vouchers and they wouldn't honour it. They said that the voucher was only for off the food up to people and as we had a table of I couldn't use it! I had to insist they take the service charge off. What a dreadful place. It is obviously living on past glory. There are plenty of other good restaurants in Harrogate including steak houses. Don't waste your money here
