“Cowboy Star is definitely our new favorite steakhouse. Everything was splendid- from the service to the food. My only minor complaint is the restaurant seemed a little tight inside (the tables close together). Our server wasn’t the most gregarious and a little on the serious side, but he was on top of it and didn’t miss a beat. The surrounding staff were also quick to refill drinks, pack up leftovers, everything just went really smoothly. We appreciate small touches like the table hooks to hang my purse & leftovers and one of the gentleman wait staff even brought me an extra plate of crème brûlée bananas because one of the bananas flew off my plate during slicing, haha! The Parker house rolls were warm and fluffy. I’ve never had a wedge salad taste so scrumptious, the slab of bacon stole the show and it didn’t lack blue cheese and dressing like most places. The mac & cheese was off the hook, cooked perfectly al dente. And our ribeye couldn’t have tasted any better. In fact, this was a steak I didn’t need any horseradish or additional sauces because the meat tasted so good. It was cooked to medium rare perfection. The foraged mushrooms were delicious and the banana pudding for dessert was the icing on the cake and beautifully adorned to showcase our anniversary celebration. Everything from appetizers to dessert was really well executed. They even serve Cafe Moto coffee in a French press for two. It was the perfect ending to an incredible dinner. I’ve been wanting to come to cowboy star for over 10 years, and I’m so glad we did. We will definitely be back!”
“The service was impeccable, and the food was simply amazing. I highly recommend starting with the dinner bread rolls as a side dish. Don’t miss out on the macaroni and cheese; it’s a must-try. We both ordered ribeye steaks, and they were cooked to perfection. For dessert, the banana pudding was an absolute delight and one of the best desserts I’ve ever had.”
“Amazing service everyone we came in contact with thanked us for coming in and they were so friendly. The food as always was top notch, ribeye cooked to perfection with the best mac n cheese ever. I also tried adding bacon to the Caesar salad, out of this world. I love coming here!”
“We went for happy hour and sat at the bar. I was disappointed that they were out of the Cabernet offere on the happy hour menu. Typical restaurant/bar offer an alternative. The sangria was good. The food were delicious. The bar tender serving us was not attentive.!”
“I usually ask for a medium because places will either do medium or medium rare. But being highly-rated, i tried for medium rare and got closer to blue rare in my opinion (ill let the photo dictate). What I did eat, ended up being tasty, the seasoning and taste was splendid. But i could not stomach the rest, and my stomach got upset. The service and drinks were delicious.”
