The days of the “bean girl,” salad-dressing boat and massive plates of meat are over in Petaluma. Cattlemens steakhouse is closing after more than five decades of belt-loosening meals in River Town.
The location at 5012 Petaluma Blvd. North, which launched in 1970, plans to close by the end of the year, company spokesperson Miranda Smith in a statement.
The owner of the 3-acre site where Cattlemens has held its lease received city approval last year to demolish the 9,000-square-foot restaurant building and replace it with a Chick-fil-A. Staff at the Petaluma location will have an opportunity to transfer to other locations; the nearest being 4619 Redwood Drive in Rohnert Park. Founded in 1968, Cattelmens currently has eight locations throughout Northern California.
