Cowboy Jack's

A cowboy bar sans cowboys in the burbs is just not my cup of tea. They do boast a nice little patio that's good on a sunny summer day, and I do appreciate the themed dining for a little bit of fun (though the gigantic wood-carved chairs are rather unwieldy). The servers were also nice albeit it somewhat absent at some points, even on a lazy Sunday, which I am sure pales in comparison to the crowds seen on a Friday or Saturday night.

The food was the real detractor for me. As per usual, I assume that my dissatisfaction with the menu comes from my inclination for fresh, healthy options.  

I ordered the Huevos Rancheros. Two fried eggs with 2 pieces of bacon (I opted to remove this), shredded cheese, an admittedly tasty green (tomatillo?) salsa all atop 2 deep fried (ugh, gross) tortillas smeared with a bit of black bean pasta. It tasted alright, largely because anything with enough cheese will taste good. But, I didn't like the inclusion of deep fried tortillas and the black beans could have been a little more abundant.

Overall, my experience wasn't horrible. But it really was just "meh." And, again, take my review with a grain of salt as I am not the target clientele for this type of restaurant.

Decent food. Beer selection lacking in a big way.

I like this place; I don't really like the price. The food is good and has its moments - especially the tater tot casserole (yes, I did just write that!) and the nachos (real cheese melted on there!) and you can eat peanuts and throw them on the floor when you're done - but I usually debate before going if it is worth the price.

Fun atmosphere overall and we've been there a few times.
