Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop San Diego Reviews
It has been quite some time since I've been here.
the Bar is no longer in a separated room and it's open to the rest of the restaurant (looks great!). the bartop seating was packed but there were some low seats available. i pulled up and a server brought me a menu. I ordered the Margarita (x2)
Ohhhh myyyyy goodness.
It's hard to even know how to start, but when some place is this spectacular in every which way... you have no other choice, even if you are too busy to spend a few minutes to give your input. Some restaurants have great staff, maybe making up
Dined here for a birthday celebration on a Friday.
We had a reservation at 5pm for a party of 3. We were running about 15min late but I called the restaurant and they were able to accommodate. Make sure to leave plenty of time to find parking. Before our order came out they brought out a small pale

Had an amazing time at Cowboy Star! The food was spot on -- my wife's Old Fashioned was made just right, the oysters were super fresh, and the cowboy ribeye was cooked perfectly. We grabbed seats at the bar on a busy Friday night and Cassandra
TLDR; Poor service & food ESPECIALLY for the price.
I would recommend looking elsewhere for any special occasions or dinner dates. I'll start by saying the ambience is really nice but the food & service was quite disappointing. For a little bit of context, my party had reservations ahead o
Good Ambience.
Great Steak and Service. However. Portions on mash potatoes are not much. You want steak sauce it's extra $7, dinner roll 4 each $9. So don't ask for A1 steak sauce. All are extra charge. Pricey Steak house if you're not too hungry.

Long review but worthy of reading in full: We had been looking forward to trying Cowboy Star San Diego for quite some time, and finally made it a priority during a recent trip for a wedding. We booked a reservation well in advance and were hopeful t

Great steak in San Diego
Cowboy Star offers a great menu and attentive service. It has a rather straightforward steakhouse menu, with some fun cocktails. I appreciate that their main cuts of steak come with mashed potatoes and a vegetable, as opposed to those all being added
Amazing !!

First visit on a business trip recommendation and the place was great! The bartender has been there for ages and is part of the history! The place inside is beautiful, food amazing! Enjoyed it!
Ordered the 8 oz.
Wagyu Skirt Steak, for $64 it's a reasonable price. Happy hour drinks are also great served from 3-6 pm. Cool atmosphere and the bread service was excellent. Will definitely be back!

Was not impressed with this place which is disappointing since I was excited to try it for my husband's birthday. To start our food took 40+ minutes to arrive. My steak lacked flavor and when I received it, it was under cooked so i had to send it

Never ever do yelp reviews but this place was perfect and service was out of this world. All the servers are really on it. Everything we requested was met with excellent customer service. Food was amazing. Came here for my girls birthday and they mad
This has always been one of my favorite steakhouses.
Their warm rolls are a perfect way to start off the experience. I am in love with the local organic greens salad, but you really can't go wrong with any appetizer. I always go with the fillet, which comes with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The past

The service was really good and attentive, but the recommended wood fire NY Steak was nothing to rave about, and at $115, I was expecting better than what I received.

The tartare was delicious, bread was mediocre, steak was very tasty. Drinks were also good. Service was just ok and they try to upsell you a lot. They charge for everything - sauce, splitting the plate, bread. Most steakhouses have free bread. A

We started off at the bar with a glass of Cab, which ranges anywhere from $18-32. It was smooth Napa Valley wine as you would expect. We moved to our seats and got started with (the extremely amazing) bread rolls and the shrimp cocktail which was als

Flawless service, friendly ambiance, purse hooks at the bar, and LITERALLY THE BEST STEAK OF MY LIFE. The flank steak was amazing, I've been dreaming about it every day since I visited a couple weeks ago. Really enjoyed sitting at the bar for dinner
High quality meats and great service, but the execution was a bit lacking
This restaurant is rated one of the top steak places in San Diego, and it is located in a lovely physical space with wonderful servers and great service. I ordered the onion soup as my starter, and my wife had the Local Organic Greens salad. The oni
The Best Night we Could Have Had.
Matt and Doug were phenomenal. The food was out of this world good and both of them made sure to make us feel welcomed. The food was killer, including the New York and filet but the e rioja recommended to us was heavenly. We will be back solely becau

The food, service and entertainment were all spot on! Dinner and a show is always nice! Try getting seating at the kitchen high top or even in front of the desert station. Great experience!
Great place for an after work event.
All the food is prepared well, and the servers are very attentive. I'm a little surprised there isn't a chicken dish, though.

The service was great, but the ambiance and food were both mediocre. In hindsight, we should have gone to Born and Raised.

The host ran half a block to give us our forgotten leftovers! Awesome birthday experience. The steak included mashed potatoes and green beans which most places do not include.

A San Diego staple located in the heart of the city, Cowboy
A San Diego staple located in the heart of the city, Cowboy Star does not disappoint. Cowboy star is a butcher shop and a steakhouse and the food is absolutely phenomenal. From the amazing bread to the high-quality meat, Cowboy Star never disappoints

100% will be coming back! $60 for filet mignon including mashed potatoes and asparagus? YES. Ambiance is upscale western. Service was great and polite! I kind of worried that this would be another hyped up place with a tough steak. I was so wrong.
The food, service, and ambiance were all flawless.
One of the best dining experiences we've ever had. I rarely think spending a pile of money on dining is worth it. This place is an exception, and exceptional.

Great vibe and a special night out! Amazing steak full of flavour. $140 Fast service, definitely need a reservation here! Has an instagramable area with the wines in the back.
OUTSTANDING
Awesome food, service and hospitality. Onion Soup, Mussels/Clams, Wedge, NY strip, Tenderloin, dessert all outstanding, Thank you to all the staff from the hosts, servers, runners and everyone in the kitchen including the utility workers for making
Great ambience !
Very reasonably priced steak that was good in a beautiful ambience with great service. I would recommend this spot for couples dining or family dining. Get the French onion soup and the chocolate mousse for dessert too !
Old fashion deliciousness!!
Everything was fresh and delicious! Steaks, apps, drinks, service! Wow. The wine pairing recommendation was splendid. The old fashioned was hands down the best I’ve EVER had. The wait staff were attentive, friendly and professional.
Good food
Food here was good. My wife got the ribeye and I got the Halibut. I also got a whiskey sour. Wasn’t my thing but I’ve never had one. We sat a table that you could see the dessert station and it was awesome. The lady making desserts was super nice
One of my best steak experiences ever
Excellent prepared T-bone steak. Grilled to a perfect medium rare just as I like it. My friends agreed it was a very great experience.
We had our 26th anniversary dinner last night with friends.
We brought one of our own bottles of wine and paid the corkage fee ($35). It was worth it as they didn't have that bottle of wine and, if they did, the markup would have been crazy. Steaks were done to perfection. Sides were awesome. Mac and Che

Food is barely edible.
Half of the stake is fat. They don't trim any of it. God only knows where they found that much fat stuck to a ribeye steak. But the real joke is their wine list. The average price is over $300 a bottle. Now, this is a below-average steakhouse. It wou
Solid steaks, good ambiance, overall good experience.
Nothing blew us away but a solid experience for a steakhouse.
Delicious food, amazing service, and fun ambiance.
..one of the best restaurants I have been to in years.
FIVE STARS!!!! We love the ambience of this restaurant.
My husband and I have eaten here many times. The food is absolutely wonderful. We just love it!!!
This restaurant does not disappoint.
I always come here for a great steak. The French Onion Soup was surprisingly very good. It's probably the best I ever tasted. The steak was cooked perfectly. When I ordered the Bleu cheese, I was expecting it to be able to melt a little on top of
Just incredible.
I loved the service and the delicious food my partner and I shared for dinner! Arthur, our server, was great! I loved how we were treated during our dinner experience. We will definitely be back for more tasty food!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FulfilledThread16, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FulfilledThread16 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FulfilledThread16 for any questions Peter may have as FulfilledThread16 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FulfilledThread16 now uses their connections at Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FulfilledThread16 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FulfilledThread16 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FulfilledThread16's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
