Now one of My Favorite places 😘 The fireplace is one of the best parts, lots of space by the bar, the TV's are BIG, food gets to the table Pretty fast and it's real good. 🤗 Big & Clean ... 🤔 Don't forget The Mechanic Bull 👼 …
Love the food. The wild rice soup I order on a regular basis, and the new special Buffalo Mac N Cheese was amazing. The bartenders are friendly to all and tend to the regulars with amazing customer service. Don't be a creep or a weirdo, and Cowboy Jacks New Brighton will take really good care of. Tell Amanda, Carley, Sailor, or any other others that Mike sent you, and they might recommend the Wild Rice.
Cowboy Jack's has always been a great experience for me. The bartenders have always been great. The food has always been good quality and has always been quick service. I have never had any kind of issues while eating or drinking here. They do have some really great happy hour specials on drinks and food as well. Awesome chicken wings as well.
Service was horrible, I had to wait between 30-45 minutes to get my drink, both times. She also took forever to take our order & check on us. Service is not great there. But the food is pretty good.
Megan, Ashley are great attendant. They will help you fast and professionally. Food is always on top notch. If you new in town I would suggest you check out this place
First time trying Jacks. I order the boss burger thinking it was just a normal size double burger but was shocked when I received this delicious mountain. Although it was a lot bigger then expected it did not lose any flavor. We also ordered the chicken pot pie and corn bread skillet. Everything was great, the atmosphere was very relaxing and comfortable. The staff was courteous and knowledgeable and help make this visit an excellent choice for date night. I would not only recommend visiting but I will be returning often. Thanks Jack's for the nice experience.
Very good food and a good bang for thr buck!! The wait staff was very pleasant to deal with and treated my friend's dog Millie with the greatest respect.
The food is so much better than you would expect when you walk in, it just feels like a "bar". I've probably been here 5-6 times now and I'm always impressed! Not too mention, their Happy Hour is crazy good!!! I think it's 3-6 daily but check to be sure and it's $2-$3 a beverage!!!
I’m a big fan of Cowboy Jack’s. There’s a reason why I’ve only tried their bar pies - it’s because they’re so damn good. No matter what time I stop by, the service is excellent and the pizza is even better. They have lot’s of cool decorations and multiple TV’s behind the bar showing sports. Place is also very clean and they have plenty of parking available. Overall, Cowboy Jack’s is a great bar/restaurant with really good bar pies. [UPDATE] I recently went back and decided to try a few other things including chicken wings, caesar salad, potato skins, and chicken sliders. All of which were excellent. I would pick a favorite of the four but they were all amazing. The service is still good too. I also visited on their $3 burger night (Wednesday’s 5-10 P.M.) and the burger was great - especially for the price. Phenomenal local spot.
The best experience! Went for purse, bingo, and the vibes were immaculate. Very large seating area with a mixture of booths, chairs, and couches! A variety of games in a separate little room. Clean restrooms and the best service! Shout out to our server Jenny!
