Git Along, Little Bison
I was very disappointed with the Cowboy Star....I read all the reviews in the Reader about how this place was supposed to be better than Ruth's Chris. The food and service was decent at best. It felt like all the service staff was fresh out of high school or college.....they had good personalities but seem to lack general fine dining knowledge. The quality of my steak (NY Strip) was closer to a steak that I would find at Outback than a steak at Ruth's Chris or Flemings. I feel that you do not need to put a sauce on a steak to make it taste better, the steak should be able to stand alone....it was a little like window dressing the steak. 2 of the 3 desserts were over cooked and left a bad taste in our mouth. The vibe in the restaurant was okay, I just would play some different music (they are trying to be fine dining restaurant, not a country bar). I would not go back....maybe worth a try if you go out to eat a lot but I would not spend my money here again. I will stick to the other steak houses downtown.— August 2, 2008 9:31 p.m.
Summer Break on Steak
I love this Place!!!!! I went to Cowboy Star last week (she said they had a better steak than Ruth's Chris) and i don't think that any of their meat was USDA prime except what they sell out front. Cowboy Star sucked. I will continue to eat at Ruth's. They have a great view and great food.— August 2, 2008 9:27 p.m.
