Cattlemen’s Restaurant Roseville

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Mmm…love steak! Steak, steak, steaky steak…to paraphrase the great Ron Burgundy.

Thanks to my consistency (for those of you who know me personally…gotta be consistent in something ;) )…I can safely say I had medium rare filet mignon. Thankfully, the steak was properly cooked (yes, I can remember whether my steak was cooked correctly all the way back to October 16, 2009 when I last visited…). I remember the food—and even the company—was great! People get weird sometimes it’s sad that I remember when everyone is in a great mood, but hey…you do what you can with what you have.

As you can see by the entrance (and pic #5), Cattlemen’s puts advertisements for their own products in the bathroom…as a side note, their drinks are pretty good…so I can’t blame em.

I like coming here in general; the bathrooms are clean, understated (nicely accented with the gray tiles you’ll see in the entrance pic), and bathrooms are cozy and inviting without being too inviting; they’re well-lit and the stall is at an odd angle.

Three-and-a-half rolls for the nicely-designed clean bathroom—and I’ll add half a roll for that advertisement.

I always like comin out here…their filet and their fantastic dinner rolls are always good (which, oddly enough, the dogs enjoyed this morning—the rolls, not the filet—after tearing through the pantry and discovering someone had left last night’s leftovers out on the counter while preparing today’s lunch). Their bar is solid and well-stocked (probably  not gonna find Chopin, but their drinks are good ;) ).

But you’re not here for food reviews, you’re here for bathroom reviews! So, let’s get to the *ahem* meat *ahem* of this review.

Pretty standard as restrooms go, clean and virtually grafiti-free (I say “virtually” because I only used the urinal, and there was no grafiti there…I’m not sure about the stalls). Some guy came in while I was taking care of business and decided to cough up a lung…apparently it was so bad he felt the need to leave paper towels in the sink. I’d have grabbed pics, but a bunch of people came in as I was fixin’ to do that, and again, it’s kinda weird to do bathroom reviews, so…sorry, you miss out. It wasn’t particularly gross or anything, so just picture some white industrial-type paper towels in a sink, and you’ve got it. See? Even better than the real thing!
