The sign at Texas Cattle Company now reads "Closed - Thank you for 32 years."
It's been a fixture on 34th. street in St. Petersburg for decades, but sales had been declining according to TampaBay.com. It was the place for you take the 5 Pound Steak Challenge or get a free meal on your birthday. But facing competition from big chains seemed to do a number on Texas Cattle Company. It has closed it's only Tampa Bay location... but its catering business will continue.
This leaves only the Lakeland location open.
Personally, I'm bummed. I LOVE the Texas Cattle Company. Looks like it's time to make a trip out to Lakeland now. Cherish the Texas Cattle Company, citizens of Lakeland. Don't let it go by the way-side.
