Culpepper Cattle Co. Dallas will open in the historical Continental Gin Building on Wednesday, May 1. The East-Texas-inspired restaurant that originated in Rockwall, Texas will be open for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Culpepper Cattle Co. Dallas will feature fresh Tex-Mex, prime steaks, and Texas home cooking.
The original Culpepper Steakhouse was opened in Rockwall in 1982 by Michael “Dobber” Stephenson. Local country music artists would often play at the restaurant including sightings from Waylon Jennings and Randy Travis. The original was purchased in 1992 by Bob L. Clements who owned Culpepper for the next 30 years. He had a vision for finer dinning and brought the best-known chefs from around the country and introduced fine wines, seafood and live Jazz to the Rockwall scene.
After closing in 2023, UNCO Hospitality Group came in to begin reviving the restaurant for its third installment, Culpepper Cattle Co. With the third iteration of Culpepper Cattle Company, the brand focuses on that same passion for the finest quality at an affordable price.
The menu offers appetizers such as Calamari Steak Fingers with lightly breaded with sweet and spicy red sauce; Culpepper Queso served with warm house made tortilla chips; Fried Green Tomatoes with charred poblano ranch; and Flautas with choice of beef picadillo or chicken Tinga, served with sour cream sauce.
Standout entrees include the Steakhouse Burger with a thick 10 oz house ground patty, rosemary garlic aioli, caramelized onions and gruyere cheese; 24 oz. C.A.B. Porterhouse for Two served with two house salads and two sides; double bone pork chop with a 24-hour brine, topped with steak butter; and chicken fried lobster, a 12 oz fried lobster and lemon butter. Comforting house-made sides to pair with entrees include crispy onion strings, baked sweet potato, french fries, green beans, baked potato and mac & cheese.
