Cowboy Cafe

This restaurant was not as good as I thought it was going to be. I tried it twice just to make sure it wasn't just a bad night but the second time around was worst. The waiters make me feel uncomfortable because I feel like they hate their job and do not want to be there. They always had an attitude when they served you. The bartenders can be friendly but can overcharge you on drinks.

When we ordered the fried pickles one time, I'm almost 99.9% sure they gave us cucumbers because it wasn't even a bit sour like a pickle, it tasted bland like a cucumber! And the color was off like it was really old. The burgers are overcooked, not much flavor and fries came cold. The chili on the chili mac was plain jane, no flavor, and tasted funny.

Eh, I say go down the street to Metro 29. It's not worth trying to cram yourself into the small parking place nearby.

They have new owners I heard and it seemed like the servers/bartenders are not drunk anymore but its still dirty. I would not eat here but it seems safe to drink here(out of a bottle)

We came here on half off wing night. Wings were good, but buffalo sauce was a little too watery for my liking. The jerk wings were awesome though. For the people talking about how cheap the food is I don't agree. It isn't an expensive place given DC norms, but $10.50 for a hamburger and $9.50 for sandwich (pay extra if you want fries) isn't cheap. Between this place and Jay's Saloon I give Jays the edge for the "dive bar" title.
