Had dinner here with my daughter & 2 grandchildren before a show. Fun decorations and casual theme. Grandkids are 6 & 8 and this place was def good for them. Pretty big Tex-Mex menu offering tacos, enchiladas , burgers, chili as well as several other entrees & sandwiches. Bonus that they have kids menu for brunch as well as dinner. Also a number of margaritas available, both frozen & on the rocks. We had chips with guac & black eyed pea salsa to start. Both were good and the pea salsa was exceptional. Kids had Mac and cheese with carrots, beef- we had beef chili & veggie enchilada. Chili was served with cheese, jalapeños & tasty corn bread. Enchilada came with rice & black beans. Portions are large so either be really hungry or get ready to take leftovers home. In a city that doesn't have a whole lot of places suitable for kids, this is a find!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
