Happy Cattle BBQ

About

Happy Cattle BBQ is an all-you-can-eat hot pot and tabletop barbecue restaurant at 2023 S. Jefferson St. in Chinatown. Each diner cooks in a personal pot of original or Szechuan spicy broth, and the table shares a grill for short ribs, pork belly and shrimp. One price covers both styles, with a higher tier that adds better cuts of meat.
