Cowboy Ciao was near my gate so I thought I'd stop for lunch. The Caesar salad was standard with well seasoned chicken. It was quite expensive for a salad, but I guess that's typical airport prices for you. The service was very friendly and welcoming. I will note that my server forgot my fries, but quickly brought it out when I asked. Very comfortable and had just enough space for travelers with luggage, as expected. I was able to pull my laptop out and even get some work done while eating. read more

If you are in the PHX airport and you're hungry go and check this place out. We had the chips and salsa as an appetizer. So good. We spent about an hour there between flights. Will be there again the next time we are in phoenix read more

Christopher, the tender of the bar needs a whole raise! Wonderful human thank you Christopher- The wrap girl. Love from San Diego ! read more

Stopped in on the second leg of my flight because it was close to my gate. It is very loud and they were busy. I think because they serve alcohol. They have a limited menu (sorry forgot to photo) most items start at $13 and go up. I had the Mac and Cheese and it came with bacon and the bacon made it complete. It was filling for me. My server Vicky was very busy but stayed in the game. read more

When flying out of Sky Harbor, my gate was moved to this area which is where I've noticed most international flights depart/arrive from. My coworker and I decided to stop here as we had an hour before boarding (later delayed to have more time). Historically, I haven't eaten meat for a couple years, but I decided to have a steak as I've been adding slowly in per doctor's dietary recommendations. The menu lists as "Flat Iron Steak." It didn't mentioned being sliced and I genuinely thought would be served as a steak. It was only four slices and due to slicing lost a lot of the juices (likely the meat wasn't rested), and also seemed unevenly cooked. Pretty disappointing for spending $35.99 and it listed as one of their speciality items. Also, it said it was served with roasted red potatoes, when it came with the breakfast potatoes typically served at other restaurants. Overall, a disappointing meal and the tables seemed cramped/too close together to be comfortable while you ate. read more

I ordered a fried chicken sandwich, but only ate the chicken too avoid the bread. It was really good. Also has an espresso martini. For an airport restaurant/bar, I'm pretty impressed. The bartender was also cool. Overall a good spot to stop when waiting at Terminal B high numbered gates. read more

They say avoid airport restaurants, but I disagree, especially here at Cowboy Cíao! The food was amazing, and the service was great! The waitress was very friendly and polite. We were seated at a table, and we took our time to dine. We were not rushed out. Recommended. 5/5 read more

We had pretty long layover at the airport on our way to Puerto Vallarta so we decided to sit down and give this place a try for breakfast. Definitely worth it compared to most airport food. They also have a full bar so if just looking for a place to sit and chill while waiting check them out. read more

As far as airport restaurants go, this one was pretty decent. Fast food just steps away was crowded with people waiting for food and this place had dozens on open tables. The service was quick too. I had the ciao burrito (breakfast) with fried potatoes which were pretty decent. There's a window looking out to the jetways so there's decent natural light. It sure beats waiting for fast food with a bunch of frustrated travelers. read more

What a pleasant surprise to find this place in the terminal. The chopped salad is one of my favorites that I usually get at the Gladly, so I was delighted to see it available here in the airport. Here it's called The Stetson Choped. It was as delicious as always with the smoked salmon and a welcome lighter meal compared to most airport options. Service was friendly and fast too to help get in and out when we needed read more

This looked like a decent place among the other choices, but it was very disappointing. The bun was cold and the meat was not seasoned right burger is just a shame. I won't recommend this place. read more

As I sit at your counter along with 4 other people waiting 30 minutes and haven't had one person come over to us offering any service, Id say your service is terrible. Your web ordering app doesn't work and your staff is terrible. read more

The service here has a a joke. Some guy sits you down and you wait what seems like an eternity for your order to be taken. Music is playing. People are relaxing but the server is even more relaxed. Ordered the chicken sandwich, must say it is not bad at all. Did have a good crispy skin. Had lemonade and it is watered down. They never check on you. Had to almost tackle the guy to get a refill and he brings tea! Really! Where do they find these people? Since they never check on you it will take a bit for your ticket. The server just stands in the corner looking lost. Suggest you try a different place to eat read more

We had a great experience here! Our service and food were excellent and pretty fantastic for airport standards. Our server was helpful and did everything with a smile. The food was hot and tasty. The fries are especially good with the pepper seasoning. There are chargers at the bar and you can watch the planes out the window. read more

Food is terrible. And looking at the five tables around us, no one has finished their food. Half the food at the most. Also waiter disappears for half hour and you can not pay your over priced bill. Other than that great read more

Tried this little restaurant out waiting for my flight . I got seated quickly and got an awesome waiter. I ordered the Mac and cheese and the sunset cocktail drink. He was checking on me but not so much to bother. The Mac and cheese was so delicious and cheesy, and the drink wasn't too strong and was perfect. I'd come again to try their breakfast options. read more

I just had one of the best salads of my life! If you ever are in Sky Harbor terminal 4 and you have time, you gotta try their Stetson Choppes Salad! I never expected to eat cous cous at the airport! The salad was absolutely delicious with arugula, cous cous, cranberries, avocado and Smoked salmon!! (You can choose chicken instead, too) I looked at what other people were eating and their quesadilla and shrimp with polenta(polenta at an airport!!??!) looked good as well. The restaurant was extremely busy and full house. I was seated at the bar. Marsha, the bartender was fantastic. She was efficient and made everything so smooth. What a gem! I hope my gate will be near this restaurant again next time I fly into Sky harbor! read more

Of the two sit-down restaurants I've tried in PHX, this one blows Zinc out of the water. Had the shrimp and polenta; creamy polenta, with roasted sweet corn and poblano peppers within it. An interesting twist on traditional Shrimp & Grits. My server, Annalise was great. Kept my water glass full even through the busy service read more

I've never been served a BLT on a mildly warm English muffin with large bacon bits, lettuce, tomato but no mayo. I asked for mayo to add to it but nothing can make this taste like a BLT. I'm giving them 3 stars for hot French fries, and good service. I DO hope they change their thinking on their version of a BLT. It's terrible. read more

Expensive because it's at the airport but you are paying for the convenience. I was alone so I sat at the bar. The red headed bartender was a little rude but efficient. I had the green Chile pork fries were good but they needed some salsa or something because they were a little Bland. I added some hot sauce to liven it up. The pork was good but not much of it. The menu was short but diverse. It is a good place to go if you want to rest and eat between flights. read more

Phoenix doesn't offer many sit-down dining options, especially in the B-C gate areas, but Cowboy Ciao is one of the few available. It was fairly busy on a Monday afternoon, but we were looking for a place to watch the football game, and luckily, they had it on. The menu has good options, though a bit limited. I only spotted three vegetarian dishes during our visit. The chopped salad was a refreshing choice, especially after several meat-heavy days in Mexico with little to no veggies. I ordered two guava margaritas-- the first one was disappointing, with almost no flavor. However, the second was much better, served with a salted rim, in a nicer glass (since they don't provide straws), and had an incredible guava flavor. I guess it depends on who's tending the bar. Overall, it's the best option for a sit-down restaurant in the area. read more

I must admit, I was skeptical given the reviews of Cowboy Ciao. But, I was starving, had a 3hr layover yesterday AND didn't feel like hiking around Skyharbor so...I stepped inside. Was pleasantly surprised. Sat at the bar since I was traveling alone. Bartender was fast and professional. She was quick with the drink order and gave me time to review the menu. No pressure to hurry even though the place was pretty crowded (about 5:30p). Ordered a burger and fries. Burger was cooked perfectly to order (medium), fries were fresh and crispy with lots of seasoning. Food came out in about 15min so timing was good. I pulled out my laptop to get some work done since I had time to kill. No pressure to pay and move on. Would definitely stop into Cowboy Ciao again if time and circumstance allowed. read more

Ummm Its airport food. For airport food it's fine. Not the greatest but they hit that medium level or mediocrity you expect at airports so it's fair to say it meets, it meets expectations. They have a nice enough seating space. Its kind of tight with all the bags and what not which is to be expected. The service was a highmark. The food was ok. I had an overcooked chicken breast slathered in too much ok bbq sauce and my colleague found their pastrami similarly adequate. The ice tea was kinda funky and the fries were awesome. Would i come back here again should i find myself at sky harbor? Yeah probably. read more

If I could leave 0 I would. I know this is an airport but no excuse for terrible food and being ignored by servers for 10 minutes! The BLT should be taken off the menu. It was a pile of arugula, hard tasteless bacon and some kind of a dry muffin/bun. I was so disgusted, I ended up putting the unfinished meal on the empty table next to us. Immediately one of the servers came over to take it away and scolded my husband. Too bad he didnt come over that quickly when we were sitting there waiting for service. How rude can you be toward guests when you are serving inedible over priced food? Cowboy buh bye with the middle finger read more

I was a tired traveler when I went through the Phoenix airport and found this delightful restaurant. They had one of the best Reuben sandwiches I've ever had in my life. They put a fun little twist on it with a chipotle dressing and spiced it up a bit. They also did not do the typical sauerkraut, but had a red cabbage slaw on the marbled rye. The sandwich was just perfection indeed. I was seated immediately. Service was quick, easy, and easy to flag them down when I needed extra ketchup for my fries. All in all a fabulous experience at the airport. Wish they were closer! read more

Food is ok. Prices are ok. They don't have straws for their drinks which was annoying. Took a long time to be acknowledged by the server.

Cowboy Ciao is like a bad disease you want to avoid! Sat down at a half empty bar to be ignored by the bartender for over 10 minutes! When we stood up to leave, he finally made eye contact and said he would be right with us. Bad move buddy! It is my birthday and I was ready to tip! read more

Not a good start! The hostess was bundled up and asleep around the corner from the hostess station. She tried to sit us at a table in the entrance, but we asked to go to one of the numerous tables in the back. She said we couldn't, but I asked her nicely to check anyway. She grumpily complied, but made a disgusted noise as she sat us down! Service was slow for an airport bar, but the server (Anthony) was nice and attentive, and the drinks and food were great! read more
