Before coming here I had read quite a few of the one-star reviews, so understandably I was a bit nervous. Fortunately, unlike what many of those reviews claimed, the service was exceptional. We came in very casual clothing (nothing even remotely fancy) and were not treated any different than those who came in suits. In fact, the service was so good I can confidentially say this may have been the best service I have ever had in a restaurant. Every employee, even those outside of our server, were very willing to help even if just overhearing one of us mention a problem. Our server, Josh, was so good at anticipating exactly what we needed and had great reccomendations to improve our experience, and was very respectful. The food was lovely as well, I ordered the ribeye and it was very tender (cut through like butter), flavorful, and perfectly cooked. My drink was a mocktail mule, a reccomendation from our server, and it was GREAT. For dessert I got a strawberry mousse and it was so delicious I found myself using my fork to scrape out every last bit of it from the cup. The prices here are quite high: for a bill of 4 drinks (malbec wine and mocktail mule), 2 appetizers (popovers and fried goat cheese- a great combo), 2 steaks (ribeye and filet mignon), and 2 desserts (Yuzu black sesame cake and strawberry mousse), ended up as a bill of about $250 before tip, but it was definitely worth it. This isnt the kind of place id say you go every week, more of a place for a special occasion, so the prices feel a bit more rational, and the atmosphere definitely makes it clear this place is fancy. read more

Had a dinner meeting with a coworker and we decided on Cowboy Star based on the solid Yelp reviews. It absolutely lived up to them! The atmosphere is upscale but still warm and comfortable. We decided to sit in the bar area rather than wait for a table in the main dining room, and I'm glad we did. Joel was our server and he was fantastic. He gave us excellent recommendations for both food and wine and was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. Having a great server can really elevate a dining experience, and Joel was exceptional. We started with the Hamachi Crudo (4/5) and Shrimp Cocktail (5/5). Next was the Local Greens salad 5/5, which completely blew me away. The goat cheese, fresh herbs, and dressing were perfectly balanced--so much flavor for what sounds like such a simple salad. For our entrée, we shared the bone-in ribeye 5/5, which was more than enough for two and cooked perfectly. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and outstanding service. Cowboy Star is officially my new favorite restaurant in Colorado Springs! read more

Stopped by here and was able to grab a table in the lounge for their happy hour. Unfortunately, their menu is very limited. All the happy hour food items either had meat or cheese, no sea food options. They do have many drink options so that's a star. Service sucked. I asked our waitress what she recommended because I don't eat meat. She suggested the scallops with their risotto so I ordered that. Waited 20 minutes and they brought the dish out which had bacon pieces all over it. Had to take it back to remake it. Our waitress said she was so sorry, she forgot I asked with no meat. She didn't come back much after that. Even when we asked for the check, she literally passed by our table multiple times, I finally had to catch another waiter passing by to give him the check and of course she brought it back and said she was sorry about tonight. She clearly knew she messed up but didn't even make it better. She made our first time experience there worse. read more

Holy cow-boy, this place is incredible! You can smell the grilled steak from the parking lot, immediately enticing you to dine here. No dinner reservations were available on a Saturday night, until 8 pm, so we opted for bar seating. But so glad we did because of great Happy Hour specials, like steak frites and wine specials. We started with a crisp wedge salad and oven fresh popovers. Best steak frites I have ever tasted. Our fabulous server, Adam, boasted of their delicious French fries and the meticulous process Cowboy Star takes to make them. I'll definitely be back next time I visit the Springs, but now I know to make a reservation way in advance. read more

Celebrating a family members birthday and Cowboy Star did great. We got to sit in the pantry table for some privacy and got to see post of the kitchen cooking the steaks. Service was superb from the minute we sat down. My water glass never went empty. It's pricey but the steak you can cut with your fork, and cooked to perfection. The popovers were to die for! They even served us something complimentary from the chef, it was delicious. If you're looking for a new restaurant to try and want a good cut of steak, this is it. I'll definitely go back! read more

We were in the area and decided to have an early dinner. Cowboy Star has a great happy hour. My husband enjoyed his gin and tonic with Hendriks gin. A double brought it to $30 with the special gin. I had the Hogan mule. It has pear syrup and chai syrup in it. So good! The burger and salad was cooked perfectly and tasted very good. I got the shrimp and bravas. Oh my! Like it came from heaven! Shrimp cooked perfectly and very large. Potatoes so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum! Maybe this should be our Friday night habit. read more

Let me first say that the servers were fantastic and should receive five stars for service. That being said my experience with the manager on duty was completely substandard. I have been waiting try this place since moving here. I arrived for my reservation on time on 7/26/26 for a birthday dinner and the manager and hostess completely ignored us standing infront of them for about 3 -5mins. I couldn't take the disregard, and finally said something. The heavy set woman wearing white who I assume was the manager didn't even look up. The hostess apologized for not aknowledging our presence and finally seated us. The manager in an establishment like this typically works the room checking in on guests experience, but this woman had a scowl on her face the entire time we were there. The food was also underwhelming for the price. I ordered the filet, with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The portions were small and the potatoes were hard from sitting under heat lamps. The martinis were good, as was the dessert. We were so excited to celebrate a nice evening here, but the experience was very disappointing. I would NOT recommend for the price and rude front house staff. read more

This is easily one of the top steakhouses in Colorado Springs. From start to finish, the experience is exceptional. Parking was easy, which is always a plus, and the service was outstanding right away. The palate cleanser they give you before the meal is excellent and really sets the tone for what's coming. The bread and butter are great, the drink selection has a lot of variety, and the oysters are consistently amazing. The steaks and overall food quality are truly exceptional. Each waiter clearly knew the menu inside and out and did a great job explaining everything and setting expectations. I've been here 4 times now, and it has never disappointed. Consistently great food, service, and experience every single visit. read more

My husband and I recently went to Cowboy Star for our anniversary and we were blown away by the experience! As we were brought to our table, the swapped the napkins from white to black, to match better with our outfits. When we arrived at our table there was a card signed by the staff and a rose. We were given a special plate from the chef before the meal started...there were just so many thoughtful touches to honor our special night. We went on to have a beautiful meal and enjoy every bite! It was such a lovely, warm atmosphere. The staff was so kind and professional. We walked away just having enjoyed every aspect of the evening. read more

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. I have to mention that the restroom was super nice and clean too. 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

Amazing food. Very attentive staff. Loved the fried goat cheese salad and the steak was excellent! The seating is a bit tight for my taste. That's the only thing they can improve on. The 2 seater tables feel super close to each other. Please separate the tables more. I'll still give them 5 stars for how amazing the food was. read more

We were told to be there on time or we would be charged. We were there before and then waited 45 minutes after our reservation time to be seated. That was our 1st warning. We were told that there were customers still at our table of 10 but they would take our drink orders. It was taken, never delivered while we were still waiting. We finally got seated and when we asked about our wine and drink order which was made 30 minutes before, the waiter then complained to us that it was a rough night and he was doing the best that he could-not "Let Me Check On It". What The Heck!?! 2nd Warning. The rest of the night went the same way. We wanted to order appetizers, never offered and when FINALLY the waiter appeared, he asked what do you want for your entree. The food was okay, but not worth the hassle. The salmon was scary. 1st time served it was raw-order was for medium. Finally okay after a trip back to the kitchen. The only thing consistent in the place the wait staff ironing the tablecloths that they just put on the table. Talk about ambience. 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

Beautiful , classy restaurant. 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

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

Right off the bat you can tell the inside of this place is really nice! It's very classy and presented really well. 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

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. And the venue! Buzzy! We chatted with other diners; everyone was having a great time. 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

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

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
