    First time visit - 4 stars. I like Cowboy Jacks. I'd classify them as a high end bar/restaurant, with a cowboy theme, that pays a lot of extra attention to their food and menu. This is the second location I've checked out. I like the décor, the service was excellent, and the food was good. I also really like the life sized metal horse sculpture outside (see photo). I started things off with Cowboy Jack's Wings. The wings were good. For the entree, we both ordered the Ribeye Special, featuring a 16 ounce cut of beef. The steaks had great flavor and they were cooked-to-order perfectly. LOW CARBOHYDRATE: It was easy to eat low-carb, keto, carnivore-style at Cowboy Jacks. The wings & the steaks definitely worked. My only complaint is you can't get the meat "a la carte" and they force you to purchased plant based sides. I got 2 sides of french fries and I fed them to the squirrels in my backyard at home...I didn't want a big starch bomb that would definitely spike the heck out of my glucose and my insulin levels. No thanks! So the sides were a complete waste for both of us. Overall, I had a nice experience at Cowboy Jacks. As a carnivore, I probably wouldn't go back and I'd just grill a giant 2 inch thick Prime ribeye at home for half the price of a restaurant. But if you're keto and if you want to socialize, this restaurant is a good option for you. -Maxx

    Go during happy hour from 3-6pm!! Select apps are half off like the cheese curds (some of the best I've ever had) and the chicken quesadilla. Also Wednesdays is burger night which is $3 for a burger then .50 cents a topping which is a great deal because the burger is big. DO NOT get the boneless wings!! I paid $12 for 6 boneless wings and 4 pieces of tiny celery, it is not worth it.

    I don't know if it was staffing issues or what but we seated ourselves as indicated by the sign and no one came to our table for ver 15 minutes. We ordered the sloppy jacks sliders and pesto chicken flatbread. The chicken on the flatbread was gross. It tasted like super stringy rotisserie chicken. The sloppy sliders were congealed and seemed old. Will probably never re

    I go to Cowboy Jacks often, especially in the summertime, and this location was just okay compared to other locations in the Twin Cities. I like to go during happy hour because they have the best HH deals in town. Half price on select appetizers (marked with a little symbol in the menu) and $2 taps & rails from 3-6pm or after 10pm every day of the week. I expect this time to always be busy however, the Plymouth location seems to not handle the high volume as well as the other Cowboy Jacks' I've been to. Their wait staff don't seem to communicate very well and the service is slow. If you're trying to snag a patio seat during busy times, best of luck and try to go early. We came in and waited for nearly 20 minutes before someone even came over to us to ask if we wanted to be seated indoors or outdoors. We requested outdoors and it took another 10 minutes for someone to come back and tell us that the tables were all full. At this point, there was a small line building behind us, and those customers also were hoping to sit outside, so it disappointed all of us. We ended up at the bar and the service there was a bit quicker, but I couldn't help but think the staff could be more attentive in general. It made it even more irritating that there was a customer at the bar trying to ask my friend what ethnicity I was; it made for an all around uncomfortable experience, and no one seemed to bat an eye at how weird he was being. I will stick to other Cowboy Jack's locations as they have the same happy hour as this one does. This one doesn't have anything special to offer, the staff move at snail speed, and their wings are good but you can easily get better wings at the other CJ's or elsewhere. They also don't offer lasso fries any more so I was big sad about that.

    Done eating and sooooo happy!

    How cow am I glad I didn't listen to the negative reviews!!!! This was an incredible experience! Our server, Erik, was a the best! The food was amazing. The atmosphere on the patio was so good and the other customers made it feel like old home week! I would give this place 10 stars if I could! Everything from the best ribs I've ever had to same rated flatbread to the healthier cauliflower rice bowl was soooooo good!!!!!

    Stopped at Sunshine Factory on the way to Emagine Willow Creek and this ended up being a really…read moregood find. The place was already busy right when they opened at 11, which is usually a good sign--and it definitely felt like a well-liked local spot. The atmosphere is very classic bar and grill with lots of seating, TVs, and a comfortable, casual feel. I ordered the chicken parmesan and French Onion Soup, and both were really good. The French Onion Soup had a rich, well-developed flavor, and the cheese on top had a slight sharp "funk" to it that actually worked really well. It added a little extra depth instead of just being heavy. The Chicken Parmesan tasted fresh and satisfying, with a good balance of sauce and breading. It had that comforting, homemade Italian-style feel rather than something overly processed. Overall, I would come back. It's not fancy, but it's a solid, reliable stop with good portions and flavors--especially if you're in the area or heading to a movie nearby.

    Frankly, I'm shocked that this is my first review of Sunshine Factory because I've been here…read moreliterally dozens of times over the last 20 plus years, and that doesn't even include when they used to be in New Hope. I have always thought very highly of Sunshine Factory; it's packed every night, so do a lot of other people. (If you don't have a reservation and you come in after 4:45 pm on evening, be prepared for a wait.) The food had always been consistently excellent, and the service always had been (and is) fantastic. They must do a great job of finding and training wait staff because the are always friendly and efficient, and fill your drinks when they are even half full. Unfortunately, they have really shortened their menu offerings and I feel quality has slipped. It's true that this location seemed to be more casual than the old location, but the menu was comparable up until late in 2025, when they revamped and shortened the menu considerably. It now seems more bar-food oriented and more like Applebees or Chili's than what it used to be. I feel like Sunshine Factory has switched its business model from high-end diner to middle of the road food, because of a lack of choices and food quality that suffers in comparison to even a year ago. For example, I ordered the special that night, which was meatloaf. The plate came with corn and pieces of red bell pepper, a couple of slabs of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy. The taste of the meatloaf was meh because it was overcooked and dry. The corn looked great, but had the taste of canned corn (not even frozen corn). The mashed potatoes and gravy were excellent; I just wish the other items on the plate were as good. (I've noticed this decline over my last few visits and no longer feel this is a one-off situation). I have no idea, but I feel that Sunshine Factory has consciously decided to downgrade its selection (the menu is probably a third of the old offerings) and quality, although service remains high. Although it is consistently crowded with returning guests, they run the risk of other people coming to the same conclusion, which will eventually erode the success they have had for decades. I know that the restaurant business is competitive and difficult, but you can't ride on your prior success long-term. I would love nothing more than to see them return to the variety and quality that they are (or were) known for.

Back to Pink Ivy. The service is quality. Our reserved table was ready when we arrived. The reservation policy may seem "strict", but if you can live with needing to provide a 24 cancel notice, I think you will find the service is good because the business doesn't get slammed by unexpected high demand. Wait person timing was off a tad when we first sat down. It felt a little rushed as we order our drinks and considered a starter. In fairness, a table of 16-20 followed us in so the wait person may have been doing us a favor. But it did influence my four star rating. Otherwise I'd have given 5 stars. Great care was taken when wait person checked for allergies. Not just asked, but noted and went to the kitchen to confirm. During the meal, flatware was changed out between courses, water refilled without disruption and the order arrived on time and all at one time. Our group enjoyed the halibut, salmon, and chicken bacon meatball items. Everyone loved their meals. A few of us ordered and split salads. We passed on desserts. The menu range may not be pages long, but all the usual suspects are there; salads, fish, poultry, beef, and pasta. And I know the chef rotates items on the menu. I encourage you to plan ahead. Reservations fill up days in advance. I think you'll find it worth the extra planning. PS my ratings are adjusted for the type of venue. These are not Michelin stars.

They had a sign by the door that said, "wait to be seated". We waited for someone to greet us for over 5 min.

When we had the opportunity, and ear of our waitress, we ordered food and I will say, the kitchen staff did great! The food was hot and super quick. Besides service, I am incredibly disappointed with the marketing in their menu. We were thrilled to see that Sunday was all day happy hour, which included $3 off appetizers. No fine print in sight. We ordered three (which we NEVER do). When our bill arrived, we were charged full price. When we asked about it, we were told, "oh, that's only after 3pm" (mind you, it was 2:45pm) at this time. I said, "that should be clearly stated in the menu." After no response, we decided to glance back at the menu. It's simply the principle. We went round and round with their very limited staff. They basically blamed it on a misprint in the menu. My response.... grab a marker and update your menus then! Overall, really awful experience. The service was terrible. I frequent Lucky's during the work week. Maybe I shouldn't!
