Founded by rancher and chef John "Buck" Wilson, Cowboy Steakhouse brings the authentic flavors of the American West to your table. What started as a small chuckwagon operation serving hungry cowboys has grown into a premier dining destination.
Our commitment to quality begins with our beef, sourced from local ranches that raise cattle the old-fashioned way - with plenty of open range and care. We work closely with these ranchers to ensure only the finest cuts make it to your plate.
The secret to our legendary steaks lies in our wood-fired grill and proprietary spice rubs, developed over decades of perfecting the cowboy way of cooking.
At Cowboy Steakhouse, we're not just serving meals - we're preserving a way of life. Our rustic decor features authentic western artifacts collected over decades, each with its own story to tell.
We host weekly live country music nights and monthly cowboy poetry readings, keeping western traditions alive for new generations to enjoy.
Our staff are more than employees - they're part of the Cowboy Steakhouse family. Many have been with us for over a decade, and their knowledge and passion for western cuisine shines through in every dish.
