Please never go out of business!! my boyfriend and I stopped by because we were in the area and I saw the loaded fries online while searching for places to eat, we decided we definitely had to try them. Im so glad we did because they are to DIE for, especially the corn nuggets and the delicious sauce they come with! Thankfully we frequent the area often so we will definitely be back, and we will be ordering the same stuff!

Came for the pulled pork sandwich, did not disappoint! Flavored in taste, especially with their BBQ sauce. Also, ordered the loaded French fries and this was the money maker for me! Pure deliciousness!!! Definitely sharable plate. 10 out 10 recommend.

I absolutely LOVE this place! Not only is the food good, but Mike & Matt are frickin AWESOME!! They're brothers & I love seeing a family operated business.If you're ever craving good BBQ & are in or around Palatka, I highly recommend supporting a small, locally owned business & try Cattleman's! I'm INSANELY picky, like actually drives my husband insane, I have texture issues with food, but Cattleman's has never let me down & I've never had an issue with food textures while eating here. Everything is fresh & hot & delicious.

Finally got to eat at Cattlemen's Real Pit Bar-BQ and it was awesome! I had the 1/2 white chicken with baked beans & broccoli & cheese bites. I planned on taking half home, but I couldn’t stop eating. lol They’re located on St John’s Ave next to Dairy Queen.

Mike and Mack were absolutely fantastic to work with! We needed to arrange catering for an event at very short notice and they responded immediately. Everything was arranged with one call. The food was fantastic. Pulled pork and smoked turkey was excellent, as were all the sides. Our guests raved about the food. I would not hesitate to use Cattlemen’s again and highly recommend it. If I could rate it higher then 5 stars, I would. They went above and beyond.
