    The Cowboy continues to maintain their high standards and quality. While most restaurants these days shrink portions and relax their standards- The Gambling Cowboy continues to honor their customers with an exceptional experience.

    Great food, service was good. Soda was broken, so that was disappointing since there are not other drink options except water, tea, and lemonade.

    Made a Saturday, 4pm reservation several weeks in advance with plenty of times available for a table of 4. We were there before 4 and had to wait to be seated. To my dislike we had to wait because they had not opened the doors to the overflow/banquet room on the other side of the elevator. The room was cold and the ceiling fans were blowing so hard making it uncomfortable. We were there for a 76 year old birthday and I thought it would be a nice because I have been there in the past on a few occasions and enjoyed the atmosphere. Had it not been for our waitress Jennifer who was kind enough to have the fans turned off and provided excellent service I would have rated it a two star experience.

    Great service. The food was delicious with just the right portion size. I was surprised when the check came & there was a $1.50 for an ice cube. Why not just include it in the drink price? At least you would know what the cocktail truly costs.
