History
The restaurant was established as Cattlemen's Cafe in 1910.[1][4][5] At that time, it fed cowboys and ranchers in the Stockyards City area.[4][5] Stockyards City was a major meat processing area and that location exported meat to the Eastern United States.[4] In 1926, H.V. “Homer” Paul took ownership of the restaurant.[4][6] During Prohibition, it served home-brewed "liquid delights".[4][6] In 1929, Henry “Hank” Frey took ownership.[4] His family also worked at the restaurant, his wife Gertrade as a waitress and his brother and brother-in-law as waiters.[4] During Christmas Eve of 1945 at the Biltmore Hotel, Hank Frey lost it in a craps game to Gene Wade.[1][4][5] Wade and his father renovated the restaurant and made it open 24 hours.[1] Since then, it has returned to regular hours.[1] In the early to mid 1950s, it became Cattleman's Drive-In, but by 1957, it became Cattlemen's Steakhouse.[4] In 1990, Dick Stubbs bought the restaurant from the Wade family.[1][7]
Building
The original building appears like a diner and has two counters and red vinyl booths.[8] There is a steakhouse side with two dining rooms called The Hereford and The Angus.[8] The interior maintains a similar appearance since 1945.[1] The interior is decorated with cowboy art.[5] Some believe that the building is haunted.[5]
