My husband and I celebrated our 31st anniversary here a couple of weeks ago. We had heard that their happy hour menu was one of the best kept secrets in town, and since we can't afford their regular menu right now we decided to give it a try. We were so glad we did- we had such a lovely and delicious experience, even just in the lounge/bar area! Their happy hour menu runs from 3-6 pm and is only offered in the bar/lounge area. We went about 5:15 and were impressed with the big selection of discounted drinks and bites at really good prices! My husband got the cherry wood smoked Old Fashioned and he thought it was delicious, and the presentation of it was super cool too (see the photo). We got the deviled eggs as an appetizer. (I was pretty proud to notice that the owner of a popular downtown restaurant was also dining there during happy hour and got the same drink and appetizer- it made us feel like we have good taste!) I got their strawberry lemonade. My husband got the Butcher's Choice Sausage for his entree and thought it was delicious, and thought the whipped white cheddar mousse bites were especially yummy. I got the Ultimate Burger and fries and whoa, the fries were some of the best I've ever had! The burger was also really good (a friend told me it was the best burger she's ever had!) but I should have ordered it medium instead of medium well because it was really cooked (my mistake) and kind of dry. We ordered the Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding for dinner and it was absolutely incredible. I was so impressed with everything about it. We shared it and it was perfect for two people, with a beautiful presentation and even better taste. Perfection. The person who brought it out to us said he thinks it's one of the very best things they offer at the restaurant! We were served by a wonderful young woman named Lindsey (I believe that's her name) and she was so professional and kind. We appreciated her and her service a ton. We got excellent service and it felt like a fancy dinner out even in the bar area- what a treat. We were surprised by the gift of an anniversary card signed by the staff and a beautiful red rose wrapped in a Cowboy Star menu. Such a thoughtful touch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have to mention that the restroom was super nice and clean too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We can't recommend the Cowboy Star happy hour experience more! We got all of that food and drink with tip for just under $100! We are grateful for a wonderful experience for our anniversary. read more

We rolled in for our weekly date night with zero expectations--just two lovebirds chasing patio vibes because the weather was giving perfection. And honey... we were not ready. Enter Josh, our waiter and low-key culinary guru. This man knew the menu like it was his Netflix queue--dropping fire recs all night long, from killer cocktails to mouthwatering mains. We kicked things off with oysters and bone marrow (because why not be fancy?). First time trying bone marrow and let me tell you--rich, buttery, and living its best life on that toasty bread. I went full goddess mode with the scallops, and my man tackled the T-bone like a champ. Both? Chef's kiss. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, and absolutely zero regrets. We wrapped it all up with their famous bread pudding, and babyyy... it was the sweet finale we didn't know we needed. 10/10 would eat our way through that night again. read more

They boast their expensive steaks and yet serve a warm wilted salad drowning in smoked bacon (the Caesar)) and you cannot tell it's a Caesar). Come on. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful , classy restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fantastic service. Our server Josh was great! French onion soup was really tasty and flavorful . Salad, however, was not my favorite. It was too acidic and needed a bit of sweetness to balance it out . Everything had beautiful presentation though. My daughter's dish did not meet my expectations. Steak ( filet) was cooked right but it was so bland. I don't understand why some restaurants don't season dishes and only provide salt and pepper on the side. It ruins the dish. Mashed potatoes also didn't have salt in them . Broccolini were bland . I expected better tasting steak meal for that price. Sauces for steak are extra $7 each and they also fell a bit short . I would return for some items like French onion soup . read more

Stopped in for happy hour with my husband and daughter on 07/06/25. We had a lovely time. We got strawberry lemonades which were a classic. The Caesar salad and the beef skewers were delicious. Oh! The fries were too. The service was incredibly friendly, albeit a bit stuffy (personal preference of course, a lot of people I'm sure appreciate it). I didn't get many pictures because admittedly I thought I'd already left a review lol! I'll make sure to update my review next time :) read more

Cowboy Star - New American Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

My husband and I chose Cowboy Star to celebrate our anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed and celebrated. They even had a rose and a card signed by the team waiting at our table, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. The food was incredible, truly some of the best we've had. Every dish was flavorful, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. It was clear that great care goes into both the quality and experience. A special thank you to our servers, Alex and Zoe, who were friendly, attentive, and made the evening feel extra special. We recently moved to Colorado and are on a mission to find amazing food, Cowboy Star is definitely at the top of our list. Worth every penny, and we are already looking forward to our next visit! read more

Wife and I ate here for the first time tonight. Higher end place (total bill for 2 with tip close to $300). She ordered a New York Strip medium rare. I ordered a boneless dry aged ribeye medium. Steaks were close to $70 each. For that price you have a right to expect they're cooked right. Hers came out medium and mine medium rare. I ate mine but she sent hers back. Manager got involved in the replacement. By the time hers came out, I was done eating. She watched me eat and I watched her eat. Her side of sauted mushrooms was also cold by the time the steak came out. We didn't ask for any part of the meal to be comped, we shouldn't have too. It should be automatic for a higher end place like this. The manager should have taken off the mushrooms at a minimum and possibly the appetizer. Nope. Nothing. A $250 meal screwed up. We paid the bill, gave the server a decent tip and left. We won't be back. read more

What a treat! We visited for happy hour, and from the exceptional service Logan and Avery lavished upon ours (and neighboring) tables to the on-point recommendations and presentation, we were smitten. The flavors! In-season rhubarb leveled up the yuzu-lime mocktail, and was revisited (poached!) beside the candied-almond cheesecake. Between, we ordered lots of fun, yummy dishes to share. The standout was the steak & frites, followed by the fried shishitos. And the scallops were impeccable, with the bacon mac & cheese right behind. In short, every bite was perfectly seasoned and balanced; the textures varied from melt-y to crispy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the venue! Buzzy! We chatted with other diners; everyone was having a great time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you so much to Logan, who made our first (and far from last) feast at Cowboy Star special, meaningful, and SUPERBLY DELICIOUS! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Right off the bat you can tell the inside of this place is really nice! It's very classy and presented really well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is also very friendly from the hostess to the waiter we had! The menu is nice but the prices are pretty high. The side sauces are $7 each. The mocktails they had were very good too. The pear mule was a highlight. The house made strawberry lemonade made me chuckle because it was just strawberry puree in store bought lemonade... Still not bad haha. The oysters were amazing, super fresh and had great taste. I'd highly recommend getting them if you like oysters. The french onion soup was also great, rich bold flavors all around. The steak however was lacking in flavor, cooked well and good sides but it was all just kind of bland. They provide salt and pepper on the side but I feel like there should be some basic seasoning. The salad was also interesting I'm assuming it had cumin because it kind of had a taco flavor to it. I'd would most likely return for smaller items but definitely a solid 4. The atmosphere, friendly staff, and small bites are definitely worth it. read more

We were celebrating my boyfriend and decided to come here as a treat. His son said this is the best steak house and we had to try it. We made a reservation online and were sat very quickly. This is by far the nicest steak house in Colorado Springs. We ordered a drink, I got the summer spritzer. It has a great strawberry taste and was very strong. They told me the drink menu was changing soon so I was lucky I got to try it! After we ordered our meals they served us a palette cleanser, it was delicious like a corn mash. Then they served us bread with whipped butter and hawiian salt, the butter was so good! The salt had a nice crunch to it and the bread was perfect, so soft on the inside. We shared the crab cakes, the sauce served with it was divine and paired so well. They do have a kids menu, just have to ask. We decided to share the 40oz porterhouse and so glad that we did! Half was New York strip and the other filet. The Filet was my favorite, so tender and flavorful. They even had cut it before they brought it out and served it to us. It took awhile for us to get our food but it was a large steak. The mashed potatoes were creamy and the broccoli soft. We chose the Mac n cheese as our side, the taste of the truffle was not overwhelming and the sauce was creamy. It also had bits of bacon. All the food was beyond amazing but this is the best steak I've ever had. When we were done they boxed up the food for us and gave us a ticket. It was so convenient and they gave us the food when we were leaving. Overall it was the best experience we have had at a steak house. Great staff and food. We will definitely be back. Already raving to our friends about this place. read more

My wife and I went to cowboy star for our anniversary. We did not have a reservation, but it did not take long for us to get seated. We waited about 10 minutes on a Thursday night. There are two dining options. You can sit in the dining room or at the bar. They both have different menus for example you can get a burger at the bar, but not in the dining room, the wait staff was amazing and very attentive. We started out with some cocktails and an appetizer. The main course was delicious. We didn't leave any room for dessert, but it also looked amazing. The manager brought a rose and a card signed by the staff congratulating us on our anniversary. It was a nice touch. Overall great experience, will go back again. read more

Very tasty food worth big portions. We had enough for the next meal also. Definitely going back.

we had an amazing dinner on 5/13/2026 to celebrate my husband's birthday. Salmon, steak, shrimp, charcuterie board, chocolate chip bread pudding-it was all amazing. For some reason our service fell towards the end of the meal and we had to ask for our bill and for a to go box. I felt bad as we had an amazing server but I think he got to busy (Lonnie?) read more

Came here for a company Christmas dinner. Loved it. Every dish was delicious. Appetizers shared- crab cakes, Bacon, bacon Mac and cheese (I licked the spoon - this was the star) , & oysters from Prince Edward Island . My husband had a smoked old fashion - came smoking to the table- lovely and I had champagne of course- we were celebrating. The tomahawk wagu steak (special) was so flavorful and the accompanying sauces perfection. All steak are served with broccoli and mashed potato- even these dishes were fantastic. My husband and I are more savory than sweet people but the Cho chocolate chip bread pudding was so delicious and not overly sweet. It was very comforting and warm and chocolatey. Service was very attentive with water refills constantly and checking our needs. Definitely I will be back and it is perfect for a special evening out. read more

One of the best steakhouses I've been to in a long time -- and I'm saying that as a Texan! The service was impeccable; I didn't want or need for anything. The American Wagyu was cooked to absolute perfection, and the sides of mashed potatoes and broccolini were equally delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I highly recommend sitting at the counter to watch the chefs work -- it's an impressive show of organized chaos and culinary precision.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Way to expensive. 17.5 for a makers mark whisky. 1.5 ounce poor. During happy hour in the bar. There cost about 1 dollar. Crazy

Sat at the bar and Ivan was our bartender. Wonderful service all around. Lovely, funny and personable experience. I love the steak here and the mashed potatoes are awesome. A real treat. Ivan recommended the perfect wine pairing with our dinner and I love that shit. My favorite steak place in the Springs. Thanks! read more

This place was recommended by a friend of ours for our 6th year anniversary and it definitely did not disappoint. The food was tasty, the service was amazing and so were the cocktails. We had happy hour before our reservation at the bar. The bartenders were super friendly and the drinks were soooooo good. Really good happy hour selection, I may add! We got to our table and the table had a rose and a menu titled "Happy 6th year anniversary" and an envelope with a card signed by all the employees to acknowledge our celebration. The cutest touch for the table! For an appetizer, we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip. It was served with sliced baguette. ($18) For dinner we shared a porterhouse steak ($140) and got two sides of sauce; Chimichurri and peppercorn gravy ($5 each). We also ordered a side of sautéed mushrooms and Mac and cheese. ($13 each) We would definitely return and recommend this place to others! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cowboy Star is a nice restaurant. Nice linen covered tables with patrons eating steak.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We did not have a reservation so we went by the bar seating (booth type partial seating with table and chairs- without linens- a bit shabby)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] our waiter, Landon was very nice and attentive. The food was pretty good. I ordered the corn soup, it had a hush puppy in it. it was very good. The salad- was not bad. The salmon dish was nicely done and had good flavor. The half chicken was very good too. The price of the dishes was very high- salmon was 40 ish dollars, same with chicken, the soup was $17 and so was the small salad. Steaks run in the $60 ish ranges. So, the food was descent ( probably the steaks are better, I'm guessing for the price- which is too much for me). I might come back as they do change their menu every three months. read more
