Since 1976, Cattle Baron has proudly served the finest steaks, seafood, and salad this side of the Pecos. What began as a single steakhouse in Portales, New Mexico—founded by U.S. Air Force veteran Jeff Wilson—has grown into a beloved regional restaurant group with locations across New Mexico and Texas.
Jeff's passion for quality food and heartfelt service inspired a legacy that lives on through his family and team. Today, the Cattle Baron brand continues to uphold his high standards through a warm, welcoming atmosphere, outstanding dining experiences, and deep community roots.
We’re not just a steakhouse—we’re part of the local fabric. Our guests return time and again for the signature salad bar, hand-cut steaks, and familiar faces. We’re proud to also operate two other unique concepts:

Farley’s Food Fun & Pub – a lively local hangout full of energy and flavor.
Pasta Café Italian Bistro – a cozy, family-friendly destination for Italian comfort food.

At Cattle Baron, we believe in tradition, teamwork, and delivering exceptional moments, plate by plate. If you're looking to grow with a company that values quality, camaraderie, and service—you’ve come to the right place.
