Cattlemen’s Steak House (2458 N. Main St.) has had a series of multimillion-dollar renovations over the past few months, according to a restaurant news release this week. The Stockyards staple has been serving steaks since 1947.
A few of the renovations include new bar, dining and event spaces, along with an outdoor patio and live music stage encompassing nearly 21,000 square feet. An exclusive members-only dining and social club — Cattlemen’s Club — with a 130-person seating capacity will open this summer.
Sheridan, 101 Studios CEO David Glasser and businessman Dan Schryer are behind the renovations as new owners of Cattlemen’s.
The Star-Telegram previously reported in 2022 that Sheridan and friends were taking over the long-running restaurant.
In 2023, a filing on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation website listed a series of renovations at Cattlemen’s, including an interior remodel, new outdoor patio and construction of an elevator lift. The estimated cost for the project was $2.9 million.
Another filing later that year, listed basement renovations to the tune of $2 million.
Beyond his restaurant work, Sheridan is a Fort Worth native known for co-creating “Yellowstone” and “Landman.”
In a news release, Sheridan said he plans to remain true to Marti Taylor and Larry Heppe’s vision of honoring the tradition established by founders Jesse and Mozelle Roach. Taylor and Heppe are also sticking around as part-owners of the restaurant.
“Fort Worth is a vital city to both our state and our nation. It is where the West begins and where the cattle business was born,” Sheridan said. “It is deserving of a gathering place for those who both shaped this city’s past and guide its future — where friendships can be fostered and formed, and the very best of this city can be celebrated.”
Cattlemen’s Club
The Cattlemen’s Club will be accessed via a private, members-only elevator inside the restaurant.
Members will find a Western-inspired decor around the club, complete with copper bar tops and the scent of leather to “evoke the golden era of the American West,” according to the restaurant. The club is designed by Grapevine-based Tyler Duncan of the Duncan Design Group.
“The goal was to create a space that feels both grounded and elevated,” Duncan said. “We drew inspiration from the raw beauty of Western aesthetic, pairing natural textures with bespoke craftsmanship to create an atmosphere that is warm, intimate, and undeniably luxurious.”
Admission to the Cattlemen’s Club will set folks back about $4,000 per person.
Individual membership is $3,000, plus a one-time initiation fee of $1,000, according to the restaurant. There are corporate memberships available, which includes four individual memberships.
A corporate membership costs $9,000 annually, plus a $1,000 initiation fee. Additional corporate memberships can be purchased at $2,000 annually. To apply for membership, folks can visit the Cattlemen Club’s website.
The membership application asks for standard information about name, address and employment. There’s also a section asking for a short bio about the person’s interests and what they will “contribute to Cattlemen’s Club.”
Club members receive the following amenities:
- Club access to members and their guests, plus priority reservations at the steakhouse.
- VIP member access to artists performing on patio stage.
- Members-only wine, bourbon and craft spirits tastings.
- Ability to reserve the member’s boardroom for meetings or events.
- Access and invites to members-only events both on and offsite.
- Partnerships with Fort Worth businesses designed to enhance the value of the club’s membership.
