Cowboy Restaurant

Stopped in for lunch on a Friday @ 1 p.m. It was seat yourself. Servers were quick and friendly often checking up. I liked seeing that the two servers were covering tables for each other. Food was good. Menu seemed to be a lot of deep fried items except for steak. We had the flounder sandwiches. The flounder itself was great. However the "sandwich" was a bun with tartar sauce and the flounder. We just at the flounder w/o the bun. It was a good size piece of flounder and we both took pieces home.

Honestly, the only thing that stopped it from being 5⭐ was the burger bun was a little dry and kept refilling tea but not with ice. That's the only 2 things I can really call them out on. Fried mushrooms we're specialThe cowboy burger would've been outstanding with the correct bread to complement it. Fried catfish w/ fried squash and slaw was fantastic. Even down to the cocktail and tarter sauces, which I always appreciate when made in house and w/ care. Dang good bottled beer selection as well. Will def be back to enjoy this local gem.

This was my second time eating at Cowboy Restaurant in Elkin. I first visited last summer, and it was fantastic — the food was absolutely delicious! My brother-in-law is obsessed with this place. He talks about it so much you’d think he owns it (he doesn’t, but the way he hypes it up, you’d never know). This time, I ordered the filet, medium rare, with hush puppies, a baked potato, and a side salad. Everything was great, though they did bring the steak out medium well instead of medium rare. That was the only small miss, but honestly, it was still really good. The service here is fantastic — the staff is friendly, quick, and they really make you feel welcome. On top of that, the restaurant has a very cool country vibe. I love the laid-back atmosphere, and the rocking chairs outside are a perfect touch. It’s the kind of place where you can just sit, relax, and enjoy yourself. I can definitely see why my brother-in-law can’t get enough of it!
