Returned for a birthday dinner and it was fabulous. Great service! Yummy food. We got the chop salad with crab cake up charge, chicken fried chicken, apple crumble n drinks! Yummy!!
I stopped by for Sunday breakfast. I sat at the bar and had the Ranch Handler which is a little bit of all your favorite breakfast foods. I had an orange juice as well that was probably Tropicana. Service at the bar was attentive. The ranch handler was good. I thought the cheese grits were the best part of the meal as well as the biscuit. The eggs and pancake were standard. I see multiple bad reviews on here but I thought my visit was solidly average. Nothing blew me away but it also was not terrible. On a nice Sunday, the place was not full and bustling like the other Hudson St restaurants, which is probably not a good sign. They could stand to fix some things up in here. The bar itself probably needs to go - it's showing its age and the varnish is wearing away, it's also sticky. The food is overpriced but it's not more than what you would spend at your average diner in New York. I think Cowgirl is a cross between a dive bar and a diner. One review from a month ago mentions mice running around during the day but I thankfully didn't see any while I was there. Bathrooms are downstairs but I didn't use them. I would come back possibly, but given the better options in the neighborhood, it probably wouldn't be my first pick.
We came to this place around lunchtime on a Monday. The place was not crowded. I'm very surprised because the food is amazing and the place is very cute. I definitely recommend this place , we Ordered the baby back ribs , very different texture and flavor from the ones in Miami, but it it was a pleasant surprise. They give a lot and good to share for two
I'm so shocked at the low ratings! I've been to Cowgirl a few times and have always been happy. Most recently, my visit was perfect. We came on a Sunday afternoon with no reservation and were sat immediately. The food was awesome and the service was good. The decor is amazing. They have such variety on the menu, I've yet to eat something that I didn't enjoy. Solid spot in the village!
I had a great experience and dinner at Cowgirl, so I am surprised by the "lowish" star rating on Yelp. A couple friends and I went to Cowgirl on a Thursday evening for an early dinner. I made reservations, but definitely didn't need them for that time as it was pretty empty. We were greeted by a lovely hostess and brought to a nice window corner table. Our waiter was very friendly and patient. He did not rush us at all and we were able to have a nice meal. I started with a mango margarita on the rocks as my drink. It was delicious! I do enjoy a good mango drink. We then split an appetizer of pulled pork nachos. They were fabulous and a perfect portion size to share between the three of us. For dinner, one of my friends had a quesadilla. I split an order of the pulled chicken enchiladas and catfish po' boy with my other friend. OMG. The catfish po' boy was delicious. And to be honest, I was kinda nervous to try it. I thought, how good can catfish be in NYC? Well this was delicious! It was super light and flakey. The jalapeno mayo sauce was on the side so I could control how much I wanted. It was so so good. So was the enchilada and the sauce. Everything just really hit the spot! Cowgirl also has some fun, festive decor which made eating at the restaurant all the more fun. Everyone was very happy with their food at Cowgirl and I am glad I gave it a shot. I'd definitely recommend it to others visiting the area.
I have not been to Cowgirl in a few years. Unfortunately the NYSC I mentioned in my previous review closed down and I don't get to his area as much as I used to. Recently I returned to the area and after my jog I decided to treat myself to a nice lunch at Cowgirl. The interior of the restaurant was just as I remembered it. Near the entrance was the bar. To walk to the dining area you go through a small hall where a candy store stand is located (I think this is also where you can buy Cowgirl T-Shirts if you wanted). The dining area features mostly wood furniture with lots of decorations on the walls and hanging off the ceiling. It's kitschy but fun! My waitress was at my table in moments once I sat down. She took my order quickly and I had coffee in front of me in moments. I ordered "The Northerner", a three egg omelet stuffed with spinach, mushrooms and cheese. Normally it comes with Jack but I substituted Swiss. The meal also came with cheese grits and a biscuit. When I tell you that every single element of this dish was perfect, I am not exaggerating. The omelette was perfectly cooked and all the ingredients were just the right texture. The cheese grits were not just grits with shredded cheese on top. The cheese is actually cooked *into* the grits, which was wonderful! And finally, the biscuit was next level. Big, crusty on the outside but wonderfully soft on the inside and full of flavor. The entire meal was top notch. Good serve, a fun setting and wonderful food. What more can you ask for in a brunch spot? I'm really happy to see after all this time that Cowgirl continues to deliver!
The best thing I had here was the appetizer bacon wrapped pepper. Entrees were meh. Service is okay. The pie isn't bad. But don't know if that was made in house or it was bought outside. First time and last time here. Something didn't sit right in my stomach after eating here.
A little expensive but expected for the west village. It was a good time with good drinks, creative menu. I would definitely go back
Husband and I stopped in here for a happy hour margarita during a long day of walking. We just Sa at the bar and the bartender was friendly. Frozen margaritas were tart and refreshing. Relaxed vibe with good eighties music playing. Food looked delicious but we weren't hungry yet. Would definitely recommend for a drink.
I got the chicken fried steak because my friend recommended it and I've never had it before. It was okay. There wasn't a lot of crispiness to it and the steak had hardly any flavor. Probably needed some more salt and pepper. The gravy was okay but not quite doing enough for me. The mashed potatoes were okay but needed more flavor as well.
The decor here is so fun! Definitely an eccentric atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious- exceeded my expectations for the exterior appearance. We got a salad, quesadilla with chicken, ribs, and veggie chili. The quesadillas and salad were our favorite! The chicken in the quesadillas was so flavorful. The service was unexpectedly slow, it didn't seem particularly busy on a Wednesday night but we found ourselves waiting for the next move (ordering food, check). Nothing egregious but notable.
A decent place to stop and have bar food. If you like country music, you'll probably like it a lot. Obviously a local hangout which you can tell because people at the bar are talking to each other about the immediate area. My date and I had a burger and sweet potato fries. Nothing to write home about but a good place just the same.
"Cowgirls don't get the blues here" I've been coming here for years. But recently my boyfriend's bestie is a country fan so I thought they would enjoy this spot. And it's pretty decently priced for being in the city. I love that's it's also insanely kitsch! I love the country vibe! We arrive after the brunch time ends but before dinner. We put our names on the list. Snag some happy hour drinks. $5 Lionshead, pretty light, refreshing Pilsner, $8 lime margs and $10 flavored. Love the mango or strawberry margaritas. I keep leaning into the breaded catfish and tots. I make a lot of my own food so a gluttonous treat on the weekend is a must. There is a long bar at the front. You can choose to eat here too. There is another room with tables. There's a back room and bar for private parties and the bathrooms are downstairs. I keep getting too stuffed for the ice cream potato dessert but next time I will leave some room for sure. Also need to point out that the level of country decor here is perfection. Perfect food come country bumpkin watering hole/grub spot.

The polarizing reviews are so surprising, especially given what an excellent experience we had! We were in a fairly large group of eight people, but we got seated for brunch right away. Several of us were interested in the frozen margaritas, so we got a pitcher to share. (It was too thick to pour into our cups at first, so we all ended up making use of the straws in the pitcher!) The menu had tons of great options, and I went with the fried catfish po' boy with tater tots. YUM! We also all appreciated that the sauces and toppings were on the side, since this allowed us to add as much or little as we wanted to for our respective dishes. Everyone was really happy with their meals. The staff members were so nice and personable. They even shared some insider tips for the shows we were going to see. The service was excellent throughout the visit, even when it got busier in the restaurant. I loved all the eclectic decor and celebrity memorabilia. I would be happy to visit for brunch again, especially as I'd love to try some of the other menu items that my group members raved about! read more

I chose this restaurant because I heard their chicken fried steak was top notch, and their frozen Margarita too. My friend and I went for brunch and got seated promptly. The waitress didn't have to wait long since we both knew what we wanted, chicken fried steak and a frozen margarita. Both came quickly and we got to digging in. The steak was tender, not over seasoned like some I've had in the past, especially when it comes to salt. The cheesy grits side was really good, but the broccoli was bland(when I get chicken fried steak, the veggies are more of a garnish to me anyway). The frozen margaritas were delicious, the ice texture was almost creamy which made it almost too easy to drink the whole thing. We went as soon as it opened so the dining room was empty and quiet, nice for a friendly brunch. We even stopped by on a Saturday night before closing for a second frozen margarita before we headed home. Would go back again read more

This is such a fun, southwestern-themed restaurant! I loved the style and flair in every direction and the food was fantastic too! There are great soul food options, lots of vegetarian and classics. I loved the catfish which comes either grilled, blackened or fried. Lots of people got the chili and ribs, also great cornbread! Would recommend the prickly pear margarita which you can also get frozen! This is great for a post-work outing or night out, highly recommend! read more
Have not had a corndog in years, but you know the saying: when in New York... This was one of the first stops I made during my trip. I consider myself a bit of a cowgirl myself so I thought I should stop by for a quick bite and a drink. I heard many people raving about the corn dogs and had to try one for myself. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it! Tender, juicy middle with an almost biscuity crust. The margarita wasn't bad either! read more

Came here following Pride March. It was nice to see that this standby is still in business and popping. Had the blood orange margarita pitcher, nachos, catfish sandwich and pulled pork sandwich. All were excellent. Service was decent considering how crowded the place was. But I would suggest to get individual margaritas versus a pitcher. They do put a lot of ice in the pitchers and you only get 3 servings from a pitcher. Catfish was fresh and pulled pork was smoky and tender. Really great casual bar food. read more

This is as close as you will get to Southern comfort food in NYC. The biscuits are by far the more authentic ones in the city. I have tried most of them and Jacob's pickle isn't it Of course this will never compare to Oklahoma or Texas or anywhere in the South, I mean I sure hope not for the Southern states! It's like comparing NYC style pizza and bagels in Georgia or anywhere but east coast. You just don't do it. Anyhow, delicious food, kitschy decor and nice staff. Prices are decent considering the city. read more
Place has a fun vibe. When you walk in. It feels like a party. Went there with my daughter and another friend of mine. Definitely a TexMex menu. Plenty to choose from. Service was prompt and friendly. I got the mixed salad which was very good. My daughter got the pulled pork sandwich and tater tots. Tried that. Also good. Did not try a cocktail. Overall. A solid 4. I might come back and try some cocktails another evening read more

A group of 7 people of us . Sat outside in the tent . We ordered margaritas on the rocks and strait up, mine no salt. Not bad. At All. our waiter Travis was good at getting our food out and drinks . My catfish platter was So perfect! I had a baked potato and broccoli w/ it ! The wings look good. There bbq wings and not in sauce ! The pulled pork nachos were hugh for 1 person to have so you can share it w/ 2-4 people. The guacamole didn't have any spice too it! So I don't care for it! The chicken and fish tacos look good to have with the rice and beans . Fed the food here is still good to have again ! read more

Not quite the place you would expect to find in west village, but quite a good spot! Every time I have walked by here on my way to the west side highway, it is busy and I finally came here last weekend. Their nachos were incredibly good, they came loaded with beans, cheese, and chicken filling the entire plate. They had many burger options too and the pulled pork with coleslaw did not disappoint. This is a great casual spot in the area with pretty huge portions. read more
In need of calories on my walk to Chelsea, I came upon this restaurant. I ordered the crab cake Benedict, no doubt a premium item, and a steak quesadilla. I would have eaten anything, to be honest, but I really was satisfied with this meal. As much as I would like to add it to my casual post-workout weekend rotation, $50 inclusive of tip for this is not a great value compared to a neighborhood counter service spot. read more
