The Friday Food Critic: Cattleman's Steakhouse and Saloon

When it comes to restaurants, has it covered.

We have some great local places that many would consider community gems; we have some restaurants that aren't exactly mom-and-pop but are unique to the area; and we certainly—for better or for worse—have plenty of chains lining our main streets.

But what we don't have is a consistent food critic to tell us what's good and what's not. 

That's where you come in.

We're not egotistical enough to tell you what restaurants you do and don't like. It's your community. You eat the food. You tell us if it passes the mark.

That's why we run , where each week, we put a different restaurant on the chopping block. You tell us how you feel about it, what dishes are good, who has the best drink specials and so forth.

This week we ask your opinion on , a steakhouse that takes you back to the days of the pioneers of the livestock industry.

The menu represents how the hard-working cattlemen, ranchers and wranglers ate hand-cut steaks cooked over an open flame.

Right now, has an average of a 3.5 star rating (out of five). Here's what Bolingbrook Patch reader  said about Cattleman's:

The place looks like it's going to cost you more than you'd expect for a decent steak... and you'd be wrong. Excellent food, excellent service and a very laid back atmosphere makes this a place to go time and time again.

At Bolingbrook Patch, we believe your words of wisdom are better than any food critic.
