    Friends an I ordered 3 cowboy steaks. When they were brought out I noticed that 2 of the steaks were a thinner cut than mine, which was a thicker cut. I thought about it but figured they were the cooks so it was okay. Ate about half of it because we ordered a lot of sides and took the rest home. Then come late night and I'm in the toilet with the runs. I should have trusted my gut (pun) but I trusted their cooks to bring out a safe meal. Rest of the meal was great and zero complaints there.

    A great restaurant, but expensive. That’s not a criticism, just something to be aware of. We really miss Kenton Grassmid behind the bar.

    Great service & food. The restaurant was quite loud until a couple of the larger parties left. I would certainly go back! The only thing I will say is Jeans and a T-shirt is not business casual. Fine dining establishments really need to uphold a standard.

    I had the COWBOY RIBEYE, which was prepared perfectly (Medium rare) and was well marbled as well as tender. It is a little pricey, but still worth going. We try to go once a month and have never been disappointed! I would/have recommended it to anyone wanting a great steak!

    Absolutely great! Our server was Lisa H. She was wonderful and made the celebration of our 49th anniversary even nicer. Food was really great. Our first visit to Bowdies. Definitely not our last.

    The hostess and our servers gave excellent service. There were some issues with cocktails, appetizers and side dish. Our entrees were excellent. Could have just been a bad night.
