I really can’t say enough good things about Cowboy Star. The food is always amazing, but this time in particular I’m glad we didn’t skip dessert. Everything is always so flavorful and the steaks just can’t be beat, but the desserts on the fall menu are next level. Of course, Veronica took great care of us and the service and hospitality is really what always makes a visit to Cowboy Star memorable.

My experience at the Brig was amazing ! My family and I have eaten at this place before but this time around was the best! Not that I’m saying anything bad about this place from pst experience, it’s always been up to par, however it was my birthday and they brought such a joy to the night. I was greeted by a lady name Jackie I believe that was her name and she was filled with such a light and sat us right away! Matt was our waiter and took care of us always checked up on us made sure everything was great! Shoutout to Matt and Jackie they were awesome! Food was also amazing !
