Great businesses are built on great people, and integrity deserves to be recognized. I look forward to visiting in the future.

If there were more stars to offer, I'd give them every one of them! My wife has a severe pineapple allergy and they had everything to a tee for us and every question answered with 100% positivity! The service is amazing and food is outstanding!!! Everything on the smoked side of the menu is outstanding of this world! My dad had the ribeye and he said it is everything a steak is supposed to be! Thank you again from so pass through patrons! We really appreciate your service, hospitality and amazing food!!! Until next time!!! read more

Great breakfasts and service . Burgers, tri tip and more are tops Nothing in town surpasses the Cowboy! read more

After a 7 mile Bryce Canyon hike, this place hit the spot! You know when there's a smoker outside, the meat is going to be good and it sure stole the show! The mesquite ribs and the sirloin steak were the highlight of the meal but the complimentary biscuits, ice cold beer and potatoes did not disappoint! Kristin, our server, was SO sweet. Even though it was her third day, she made the whole experience memorable. Friendly, attentive, and personable, I have no doubt she will succeed in this cute and delicious smokehouse in Panguitch! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal!!!! read more

Maybe we hit this place on a bad day but our lunch was not good. The 3 stars is for the great staff that greeted us and took our orders. Top shelf folks!!! The cook on the other hand managed to over cook our cheeseburgers until they were dry and had no taste at all. The burgers did not have any mayo, no secret sauce or mustard. Thankfully it came with lettuce tomato and pickles on the side. We finished our lunch with their highly touted peach cobbler. Mistake number 2. It was the strangest tasting peach cobbler my wife and I had ever eaten. Even with the ice cream it didn't hide that taste. The peaches were small exact cubes so that let me know they were some type of processed fruit. Again GREAT staff of servers but not a good meal read more

Super friendly staff and the best food in the small town. I had the New York strip and it was fairly good and my friends liked their dinners. read more

I came here on a friend's recommendation, tried the famous cowboy philly and some sweet potato fries. Sadly, I was really underwhelmed. The cheese on the philly was a bit scarce, and it was shredded so it didn't really melt well. I'd prefer a toasted bun, too. I think the fries were sprinkled with sugar rather than salt, which was a first for me. There was a sign saying to ask about their cash discount, but I was unable to get the waitress' attention and eventually just gave up and scanned the QR code on the receipt to pay. Also, the bathroom was in need of some attention. Maybe I just came on a bad day, but I can't give more than 2 stars. read more

Ordered the full rack of ribs, baked potato, and baked beans. Beans had great flavor, baked potato was hot and fresh, ribs had a good amount of meat but not an amazing flavor. Very average. It wasn't tender but also wasn't tough. Overall the ribs were decent. Fairly priced. Service was great. Tiff was fast and friendly. Inside was clean and the food came out almost instantly despite being packed. I'd probably go back since it's one of the only spots in town. read more

Stopped here for lunch on my way to Moab from Zion. Lunch is mainly burgers and sandwiches - the steaks and bbq is dinner only (which starts at 4pm.) Had a really good burger with a coleslaw side which was also good with the perfect amount of dressing. Great service - very friendly welcoming place. Ambiance is cute and lives up to the name. read more

Drove by this & decided to stop. It is definitely a hot spot, but you dont need a reservation. Lots to chose from for lunch & dinner. I sat at the counter being by myself, but I dont recommend it. Though there were probably ten servers quickly moving around I just sat there waiting for someone to notice me while a redheaded women stood & talked to the guy next to me for well over five minutes. Eventually, a woman stopped & got me an iced tea & took my order. My server eventually became Jace, who once he started was great. Very attentive & personable & after he spoke to me my food came out fast. I ordered the ribeye, mashed potatoes & beans. The steak had a great flavor, was perfectly cooked & very tender. It was a tad salty for me, which I usually ask them not to salt, however I forgot this time. Overall, it was a good experience & Id definitely go back. read more

This place is obviously the popular place for both locals and travelers. There was a line to get in when I arrived. Since, I was by myself I was offered to sit at the counter. It was perfect! They were super busy but all the employees looked like they enjoyed working there. Service was quick too! The burrito - delicious! I took half of it with me! I feel that the menu had a lot to offer and the prices were fair. It felt comfortable and cozy there. The next time I am in the area, I will most likely stop by and try something else. read more

Amazing food. Loved the steak dinner and fries. Great ambiance. Great staff! Very friendly service. loved this place! Highly recommend.

In the area to hike Bryce National Park and not many options near Bryce to eat at. Found this place on Yelp 10 or so miles away so thought we'd give it a try. I liked how festive it is as soon as you walk in. Christmas decorations along with a western theme and Christmas music playing in the background. I came for a ribeye and found out that they serve breakfast between open and 11am, lunch from 11am to 4pm, and dinner 4pm to close. What I wanted was on the dinner menu but we arrived at 2pm after an 8 mile hike. The server was very nice and pleasant, we asked her if we could order dinner and she checked with the chef and then came back and said it would be his pleasure. That made us really happy. The place seems like a family run restaurant and they are very attentive and very friendly. For our meal of course I ordered the ribeye, my wife got the burrito, and for an appetizer we got the bacon wrapped jalepeno. The appetizer was soooo good! It came with a side of I think raspberry jelly to contrast the cream cheese, bacon, and jalapeño and paired really well. For my ribeye the fat was so tender and tasty. Not much seasoning on the steak which I like because you can taste the actual steak but it was cooked to perfection and had butter on it. As a bonus they had Redmans real salt! Not the cheap store salt. That's always a pet peave I have with nice steak places when they don't have good salt to go with the delicious steak. My wife was very happy with her burrito. The server kept our drinks filled. The appetizer was so good we actually ordered more to go! I definitely recommend this place specially if you want steak! The sweet potato fries were good too! read more

Food was great and the atmosphere inviting. Wish I lived in the area. It would certainly be a weekly stop. Steak was cooked perfectly!

Excellent breakfast. Husband asked for salsa with his, it smelled and tasted delicious and fresh. Waitress was friendly and good. Place clean. Suggest-adding hooks in ladies restroom stalls for purse etc. Would eat here again if passing through. read more

Cute little smokehouse in such a cute little town we came at lunch and opted for lunch droid, although they did have the meats available. The burgers are delicious and cooked to perfection. Definitely somewhere I would try again when in town. Husband had a southwest burger and loved it. Food was super affordable for lunch read more

GET THE COBBLER. The blackberry cobbler was absolutely delicious. We all enjoyed the sweet potato fries too, they had cinnamon sugar on them. Everyone enjoyed their sandwiches from the smoked turkey, the brisket, the pulled pork and the beef sandwich. It wasn't the most amazing bbq I've ever had but it was still good. Great post hike spot. read more

This establishment in Downtown Panguitch is a good place for a standard American-style meal. It is rather easy to locate on the Northeast end of the main downtown strip. Street parking is relatively easy to find. We visited on a busy Saturday night around 7:30 PM. We had to wait about 20 minutes for a table, which was not very surprising. The dining room is decent-sized, but the capacity is not huge. It can fill up on busy nights. The interior is pleasant enough, though not elegant. It's definitely oriented toward casual dining. The menu offers a few favorites at OK prices by today's standards. If you're up for things like chicken, fish or steak, this is a good bet. Our server attended to us quickly after we were seated and did a good job throughout our stay. My wife tried the Sirloin Steak with a Baked Yam and Asparagus as her sides. I had Smoked Turkey with Sweet Potato Fries and Coleslaw. Everything was tasty. The availability of the baked yam was a particularly nice touch. The final cost was about $27 per person with food, drinks, tax and tip. All things considered, while this is a solid place for a good dinner, the price tag ends up being a little higher than I'd expect for what it is. It borders on a 4.5-star place, but I cannot justify in comparison giving it five stars. I'm settling on a strong 4-star rating and that feels about right. If you're in town and enjoy the type of fare they offer, it's a good choice. read more

Amazing food, amazing staff a must have if passing through town!! Best bbq I've had in a minute

Great service! Different smoke taste than the South and I loved it! My boyfriend had a great steak as well. We for sure be back!

Decided to give this place another try, because apparently I have a death wish for my mornings. Drove 40 minutes with dreams of glorious eggs, crispy bacon, and perfectly browned hash browns... only to be told at 10:42 AM that breakfast was "over." Oh, really? Their menu says 11, but I guess menus are just polite suggestions here. Honestly, I'm impressed. It takes a special kind of talent to invent a breakfast that exists on paper but vanishes in reality. If you enjoy wasting gas, time, and hope, this is your Mecca. Eggs, bacon, hash browns? Forget it--your breakfast will arrive about as quickly as common sense at this place. Highly recommend if your goal is existential despair served sunny-side up. read more

Cowboy’s Smokehouse - Show their breakfast time is until 11 - Barbeque Near Me - Panguitch, Utah

We have come to Panguitch several times and have eaten at the Cowboy's Smokehouse on two of those occasions. Both times we were very disappointed in our food. The first time was on the 4th of July a few years ago. We had ordered ribs which were tough and undercooked. We thought perhaps it was because of the holiday. We gave this restaurant another try this past Saturday night and got there just as they opened for dinner. My husband ordered the combination barbecue platter and selected ribs, tri tip, and sausage as his meat choices. The tri tip was refrigerator cold and tough. No flavor. The ribs were fall off the bone and delicious. The sausage was very, very tough. My husband tried to cut me a piece of his sausage and sawed and sawed before he was finally able to cut through it. Our daughter had a pulled pork sandwich which was served on a dry bun with no sauce or slaw. The pork was dry and had little flavor. Our waitress tended to hang out with two other younger waitresses on their cell phones behind the counter. We had to get an older waitress to let our waitress know we would like dessert. Our plates had already been cleared, and she had not checked on us to see if we wanted dessert or our bill. Our bill was over $100 without tip. We will not go back. read more

Best steak my husband & I have ever had. Seasoned perfectly. Cooked perfect. It was AMAZING!!!

Every year we pass through the town twice when driving from Phoenix to Montana, this year we stayed at a nearby motel and tried the restaurant, will give the ribs a five star, had enough left over for another meal, the staff person we had was great, friendly and informative. This will be a mandatory stop next year. read more

We stayed in town a few blocks over and decided to try this restaurant. We were not disappointed! We actually went for dinner one night and breakfast the next day because it was THAT good. Make sure you get there early for dinner or you may miss some of their delicious smoked meats and steaks. Everything that we had for breakfast and dinner was delicious. We had a variety of food because we had a party of 9! They were able to accommodate us without a problem. All of the employees that we encountered were very kind. It's a very casual restaurant that has a farmhouse style. Make sure you give it a try when you're in town! read more

After a long day hiking in Bryce Canyon, Cowboy's Smokehouse really hit the spot. I ordered takeout (beef platter, mashed potatoes with gravy and fresh vegetables as my chosen sides). The beef had a nice smoky flavor, the mashed potatoes with gravy were creamy and comforting, and the broccolini was fresh and simple but a great balance to the meal. The portions were filling, the hostess was friendly, and it was exactly what I was looking for after a day on the trails. read more

Restaurant with lots of seating space. Service was attractive. They had a salad bar. We ordered half rack of rib, combo plate, pull pork salad, chicken chef salad, and steak end. Foods are great, but some of the salad ingredients were not fresh.. in fact, they started to rotten. I had to pick them up and put them aside. Would still recommend this place for the awesome meat though. read more

After a day of hiking in Bryce canyon, of course we were hungry and were staying by Panguitch. Limited options since it was February and it's considered their off season. The inside is nice of course with a Western theme. The menu had decent options and of course since we were hungry everything sounded somewhat good. Our waitress was nice and attentive so good service. There was just one other table when we arrived but more people showed up afterwards but nothing crazy. The food was good and hit the spot, not saying it was anything amazing but can't complain and it filled us up and a good portion for what we spent. Left there content and considering there wasn't many options available in town because it was also getting late. We were happy with this choice. Basically a safe bet if you are staying in or closer to panguitch. read more

Was looking for a good place for breakfast and found this place. Our server Brevon (I hoped I spelled that right) was excellent he was very cheerful and bright and on top of things. I got the Denver Omelet, hash browns and several choices of toast. I chose rye bread. I also got a whole order of biscuits and gravy and split it with my SIL. I enjoyed my omelet is was cooked through, wasn't runny nor was it overcooked. It was literally and fluffy which was a good thing because the whole order of biscuits and gravy was huge. It came with four biscuits and plenty of sausage gravy. My companions had French toast which they said the French toast was good and there was plenty of it. They were very complimentary of our server. The coffee I had was the best I've had this week on vacation. It was not bitter and very smooth. When you enter the restaurant there is a huge family portrait of the family all decked out in western wear. You feel like you're having breakfast with the family as friendly as every one was. Would definitely recommend it for breakfast. As clean as the place is and the quality of the breakfast I would assume that lunch and dinner would be just as good. read more
