"Ordered carryout. Because we're on vacation I requested silverware and napkins, we didn't get either of these. Luckily, I was able to find a spoon to eat my chili mac with in my wife's purse and we used a hotel towel as a napkin. Chili mac was pretty good. Requested and paid for mayonnaise on my wife's burger and didn't get that either. Requested no onions and add pickles and got about 10-12 pickles and a big thick slice of onion. We believe the abundance of pickles contributed to the bun being kind of soggy. The meat seemed tough and dry, but it was still red so didn't seem overcooked. Fries were average. Pickle was really spicy. If you order carryout, I would suggest you double check everything BEFORE you leave. I would also suggest avoiding the burgers."

"IF I COULD GIVE THIS SPOT 100 STARS I WOULD!!! I WAS IN THE AREA A WEEK AGO CRAVING A BURGER SO I GOOGLED “burgers” AND COWBOY CAFE POPPED UP ON THE LIST OF PLACES TO CHOOSE FROM- THE PHOTOS AND REVIEWS INSTANTLY GRABBED ME SO I GAVE IT A GO. THIS IS A PLACE WHERE ALL THE REGULARS FREQUENT. I FELT SO WELCOME AS SOON AS I WALKED IN. JACK THE BARTENDER IS FANTASTIC! (and quite handsome too) 🙂 I STARTED OFF WITH THEIR “PICKLETINI” WHICH HAS PICKLE BRINCE INSTEAD OF OLIVE JUICE. 10/10. THE PICKLE GARNISH WAS A NICE TREAT- SOUR AND CRUNCHY. I HAD TWO DRINKS 😌 I WANTED A BURGER BUT CHANGED MY MIND AND GOT THE CHILI NACHOS. A HALF ORDER TO ME LOOKED LIKE A FULL ORDER!!!1000 POINTS FOR THE HUGE DOLLOP OF SOUR CREAM AND LOADS OF SLICED JALAPEÑO ON TOP!!! THEY EVEN HAVE MERCHANDISE. A PLUS COWBOY CAFE MADE ME A REGULAR NOW"

"This is a local dive bar type establishment with great food and good drink. Have been to Cowboy Cafe multiple times in the past 2 months and have yet to have a bad meal. My favorite is the mixed fajitas. The serving is enough for two, but you will need to order more tortillas. You get 3 meats (a lot of steak, and chicken plus 6 shrimp). The vegetables are well seasoned and tasty. I like jalapenos so I always ask for them to Sautee (add) some to my order. The staff personalities are all over the place, but they make it work. Service is hit or miss if you sit at a table, but always consistent sitting at the bar. Can't remember what day they offer half price tacos, but well worth ordering."

"A little different! The food and service is outstanding, though it’s a little different. We all got coffee, but when you ask for a refill they either bring you a new cup or have to take yours to refill. The Irish coffee is a mix your own concoction with lots of alcohol. I had the Cowboy hash and it was outstanding. I also tasted the French toast. It was also outstanding! We drank all their coffee, and ended up waiting for them to brew another pot. We ate outside (COVID avoidance). Lots of color and the seating was comfortable. Parking is easy, though one of the lots is across the street and could pose a bit of a problem if a patron drank more than they should. Parking is plentiful. Definitely worth the stop. A little quirky. I really want to come back to sample the menu for lunch or dinner and enjoy an adult beverage or two."
