Good place to enjoy a drink and a burger (or more). They have a full bar, friendly staff, and a casual cowboy theme. They have TVs to watch some sports and they also have something happening during the week, whether it be meat raffles or karaoke night, just look at their website if it appeals to you and mosey on down!
I go here a few times a month for happy hour as it’s down the road from my work. The happy hour prices on beer are excellent (3pm-6pm).
The food is also usually quite good. I would recommend the tater tot hotdish, burgers, bone-in wings, or sandwiches.
The service is always on point, food comes quickly, beer is always refilled fast as well.
They have a great patio for dining/drinking on nice days. The bar has garage style doors that open up to the patio making for a nice feel on warm days.
Two people and we both had salads that we thought were pretty good. Walked straight in and sat down. Issue was the flies and the wait for attention. The bartender was more interested in the only other guy at the bar and talking and flirting. We both asked for extra dressing and it took over ten minutes for her to go get it since she was busy talking about Utah and Europe. They have an outdoor space also which looked nice, but we ate indoor. My key issue was service, the flies everywhere, age of trashed parking lot and aged exterior.
Great dinner spot. Definitely a saloon feel, but wasn’t out of place stopping in after work for some dinner. Tuesday special was a bucket of wings and I will be back for these specifically. Great flavor, plenty of sauce options too. The menu was big enough to satisfy any group of people. It happened to be trivia night, and though we didn’t play, we still enjoyed answering the questions. Huge building, great outdoor patio. I’m guessing it can get pretty crazy here at times. Also, it appears to be a known pull tab location. There were a lot of people having fun with the pull tabs. Service was great and everything was clean.
Party of four. Three separate checks. We ordered a SloppyJoe Burger, Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich and a 12 oz Steak w/ Sweet Potato Fries/Seasonal Veggies/Caesar Salad and a 12 oz Steak w/Baked Potato & White Rice. All were delicious. The steaks were ordered Medium and Medium Rare both were grilled to perfection!!! We stopped in around 4:30pm it was starting to get busy. We spent 1 1/2 hrs start to finish and then the dinner rush started coming in. Tons of room and areas to sit. Patio seating, bar seating, banquet room and dining room tables booths and couches. We absolutely loved this place. Our waitress did a great job. Prices were reasonable. We ordered a cheesecake and toffee butter bundt cake to go and that bundt cake was the most mind blowing experience of heaven on my palate that I have ever had! Wow!!! Served warm too oh goodness! 10 stars and beyond! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.
Very cute place. The Cob salad was delicious! Waitress was very nice and super personable. The only thing I did not love was they played country music and I am not a fan. Lol
I went after work because nothing nearby was open. I’ve been here many times to drink and that’s more what the atmosphere is for to be honest. Regardless, I ordered food to go. While waiting it was definitely loud and busy but I got my food in about 20 minutes and it was unexpectedly good! Since eating there, my other friends have confirmed the food they get is always good. I would have given it all 5 stars, but the bartenders were very busy and random people kept coming up to the bar literally on my shoulders pestering the bartenders. I didn’t feel like I had my own space to sit. If you’re going “out” this is a great spot. If you’re like me and you just need food or something, prepare yourself for a house of drunk people. I have nothing against that, but it’s inevitable. Thanks to the cooks who made a wonderful Alfredo pasta with steak!
🍔 Food-wise, it delivers. Classic Americana with a little kick—every dish hits the mark without trying too hard. The menu doesn’t lean on gimmicks because the flavors speak for themselves. Whether craving something fresh off the grill or a reliably good burger, the options are solid and satisfying.
🙌 Service stands out. The team moves with purpose and grace—friendly without being overly scripted, attentive without rushing. Each server treats guests like regulars, even if it’s a first visit. That kind of ease and confidence adds just the right touch to the experience.
Cowboy Jacks nails the casual vibe with high standards. Stop in for a drink, stay for the meal, and start planning your next visit before even reaching the parking lot.
