Cattle Men’s Steak House in Fort Worth, Texas, located in the Fort Worth Stockyards, is the most famous restaurant in this area. It has a very western-style design that makes it so appealing to the viewer and makes it a true experience for the visitor. I chose this restaurant to showcase mostly for the interior of the building. I remember the first time I went into Cattle Men’s and I remember the experience of the matching ambiance of the restaurant to the rest of the stockyards.

The elements that play into the design that give it the feeling that is desired is first, the exterior. The outside of the building is wood paneled and has a western-style porch look. The signage on the outside is a western font with lights, the other source of exterior lighting is the small pendant lights that are shaped like lanterns. The interior of the building has more ambient lighting and has western-style decor, as well as artwork and pictures that show history of Fort Worth and the family that founded Cattle Men’s.
