My husband felt like we were being judged and treated like we didnt have money. Then when she brings us our change she is standing there waiting for the tip. I am a server myself and never treat guest based on how they are dressed and much less wait for a tip.

I have been to McAllen TX ... and have even eaten there (2 of 2)…read more I saw that many reviewers are awarding Cowboy Chicken 5 stars. I was going to go with 4 stars, but then thought about it ... they did everything right. I happened to be in this general area, while visiting the famous main branch of the McAllen Public Library, which holds the record for being the largest library on one level in either the U.S., North America, or the world. Dinnertime was approaching and a barbecue place sounded just like what I needed. Cowboy Chicken is in a strip mall close enough to the library. Parking is easy and, once inside, you go through a short line to order what you want to eat, with some people eating in and others taking out. I do like to eat this regional barbeque food on occasion, and it's something I do at least once every time I'm in the Houston metro area. I always go for the 2 item combination platter. However, in the Houston area, I don't seem to land on places that offer both brisket and boneless chicken. So, in Houston, I get brisket and turkey ... and I'm still a happy camper. At this Cowboy Chicken, I asked if I could get chicken as one of the 2 meats and if it could be (a) boneless piece(s). The young lady helping me said that I could and was very helpful. I took my tray to the simple but airy eating area and started to dig in. Everything, including the sides, was delicious. The chicken and the brisket were very much to my liking. I'm not being a big baby by always asking for boneless stuff, but who wants to mess with bones and scales when eating outside of their home or at a backyard event? I wanted to add that the portion size was satisfying and that the pricing was appropriate. This "main" Cowboy Chicken has a lot of good things going for it - the food, the service, the portions, the value, and, above all, what I perceived to be a strong focus on the customer. So there you have it. If visiting the impressive main branch of the McAllen Public Library and get hungry, you might stop by Cowboy Chicken for a meal. How does that sound for a field trip?

The aesthetic was a mix of rustic and glam. I love to judge places by how nice their restrooms are too and the picture I have of it below gives the vibes an A+ :) Their menu had a lot of options depending on your preference, from basic bar food to nicer entrees! They had lots of healthy options and I opted for the Chicken Monterrey which was delicious and light! The chicken was juicy and the string beans on the side were salted perfectly too. The service was friendly and accommodating. It never felt too slow or felt like they were rushing us out. I'd definitely come back!

The sandwich was dense and had a nice kick. But it was really small. It also comes with chips. The place is huge and there are some music instruments in a small stage area. It looks like they do nightly events. During the day time, it seems like a good place to study or work. But.. coffee is.... Nothing special and taste pretty weak. Parking is free and out front .

We came here with our best friends because they had friends that ate there and enjoyed the food…read more It's an interesting concept: everything on the menu is all or in part - RibEye Steak in some form. Sounds good in principle. But the proof is in the pudding as they say, or the food and how good it is. They start the meal with an assortment of fresh house-made tortilla chips and salsas that range from a "pretty warm" pico de gallo to a "blazing hot" sauce made with habaneros. They also brought us so charro beans, "on the house" which when mixed with a little lime and the aforementioned salsa were maybe the best part of the meal. I don't think I've had any charros their equal. I'd come back just for them if nothing else. I had the Chicharron Ribeye on Molchahete which is a rib eye steak, cut in bite sized cubes, seared then placed atop some lettuce and fresh house-made guacamole, served with fresh, house made corn tortillas. (You had me at house-made corn tortillas!). The steak bites were a little overcooked for my tastes and, if I'm being honest, the steak was at best, a USDA Select Grade based on a lack of tenderness. I'd hope that for the price they'd use at least USDA Choice or higher grade. Anyway it wasn't very tender but the flavor was ok. In total there was enough steak for three or four nice sized tacos with really good guacamole, some onion, cilantro and lime to squeeze on top. The wife ordered RibEye Enchiladas which were, according to her, just ok. They were smothered in a heavy sauce and even heavier layer of melted cheese, detracting from the flavor of the ribeye. Neither of us were that impressed with our entrees. The sides were better than the mains. That's never a good thing. Our friends split an order of RibEye Panchos, which in most of the rest of the world are known as nachos - tortilla chips, chunks of ribeye steak, cheese, salsa, etc. They seemed to enjoy their meal and had leftovers to carry out. Our server, a sweet young gal was exceptional at her job, very informative about the restaurant and let us know that after five years in the same location, they would soon be moving, although the new location was at present, a secret. Our drinks were never empty and she offered us more charros, chips and salsa...whatever we wanted. My entree was $19.99 and the wife's was $18.99. Adding in my iced tea plus tax brought the total to a bit over $46 which isn't horrible, especially seeing we're talking ribeye steak, but, for this steak, it's quality and quantity, perhaps a little high. They do offer a Sunday Brunch, which we may try in the future. Perhaps they had a bad batch of tough steaks, I don't know. I'll certainly give them another visit before crossing them off my list in order to be fair. Here's to looking forward to that next visit.

Service was terrible. It was like the waitress gave us our food and never came back to check on us…read more Didn't ask us for refill not once. We had to flag her down at the end of us eating because we wanted to drink something to wash down the food. I also clearly told her that we were ordering one thing as an appetizer and then put in our two entree orders. So everything came out all together which I guess was fine but she left our entrees to just sit on the heat thing for 10 mins before bringing them to us. Was no where to be found after dropping off the app so I could tell her to bring the entrees. So that was just warm when it arrived. Now the food was really good. The star of the show though was the Beignet bacon cheese burger sliders with the glaze on the side. Will come back just for that because you can't find a menu item like that just anywhere. We also ordered the Devils on horseback which are always super good as a starter. The po'boy was ok. I ordered the boom boom shrimp po'boy but the waitress didn't hear that correctly. The sandwhich was ok. Probably wouldn't order it again. The music is so loud in there it's hard to even talk to the person in front of you.

During our first brunch visit, the waitstaff's enthusiastic recommendations felt a bit overwhelming--almost to the point of pressure--but we chalked it up to eagerness to help new guests get acquainted with the menu. The space has a club-like vibe, likely aiming for something virtual and modern, but compared to places we've experienced globally, it didn't quite hit the mark. We started with a dish we believed was our appetizer, but it turned out to be something else entirely--our actual order followed and ended up being almost a duplicate but with much less flavor. That made the meal feel heavier than expected. My husband found his plate fairly average, but we understand that new places often need time to refine their offerings. When the bill came, we noticed we were charged for the original appetizer. No fuss--we paid for what we ate and had the rest boxed up. Unfortunately, the green chilaquiles didn't reheat well and lacked flavor the second time around, as well. I dislike throwing food away, but it wasn't worth a sour stomach and ruining the rest of the day. So, I opted to throw it out. Because the restaurant came recommended a couple of weeks later by a friend, we gave it another try. Again, the staff greeted us warmly, though they forgot to bring out the complimentary bread. My husband politely reminded the manager, who graciously handled it himself. This time we brought my daughter. She ordered the stuffed chilaquiles, we had been served previously as an appetizer. The plate this time was overly drenched in a bland sauce. I requested salt to balance it out, and my daughter eventually gave up, scraping off most of the excess and leaving the rest. She was disappointed and left with an upset stomach. My husband mistakenly ordered the regular chilaquiles--made with an enchilada-style sauce instead of a fresh salsa--which was unfortunately a miss again. I had tried to warn him, but the loud club-style music made conversation difficult. I had ordered the same dish on my first visit and left most of it untouched for the same reason: the overwhelming amount of sauce that turned everything mushy. In the end, we paid for a meal that none of us finished -- not once but twice. While we appreciate the staff's energy and hospitality, the food's execution just didn't meet our expectations. Sadly, we don't anticipate returning.
