Reviews for Cowboy Star Restaurant And Butcher Shop in San Diego, CA

This might be my new favorite downtown restaurant. The rustic dishes, generous portions and incredible flavors, especially from... the wood fired grill, are exceptional. I ordered everything on the starter menu to get a nice flavor tour, plus three desserts.The meatballs are fire smoked and crazy good. Always add the off-menu "surf'n'turf" option if available (yummy wood-firedshrimp). Service was great for what was a busy night. Read more

Everything about this meal was on point. The food was cooked perfectly, thoughtful pairings, and came out quickly. The drinks... were delicious and made really well. Service was fast, friendly, and the server put up with our ridiculous questions and senseof humor. I’ll definitely go back again. Read more

De-li-cious! Cowboy star was one of the first restaraunts I went to while visiting San Diego on a work trip, and it messed up my... food experience everywhere else because the other places couldn't compare. The steak here is spectacular. We ordered 3 differentcuts and all were amazing, perfectly seasoned and cooked at the exact right temperature. You wouldn't believe how many places DONOT get the temperature right in steaks. Amazing wine / drinks selections, great decor, and the best bartenders in town. . . Theguy who in charge of the grill was a master of his art ????. . . I would def recommend this place go all , date or casual eat. Read more

Another 5 star experience at Cowboy Star! We were lucky enough to have Francisco be out waiter again, truly made the experience... 110% better. Our seating was excellent and the food was phenomenal. Read more

An exceptional restaurant in San Diego! If you were traveling solo or even as a couple, reserve ahead and ask for seating at the... chef‘s table. It is amazing to watch what happens behind the scenes at a high-quality restaurant. OK now for the food anddrinks. They have an extensive list of wines and cocktails. The Mezcal old-fashioned is totally delicious. They have $140Japanese Wagyu steak which is literally like butter. It is not for everyone because you don’t necessarily get the feeling ofeating an actual steak. The chocolate bread pudding and espresso martinis on the dessert menu are to die for. And for the mostimportant part, the staff and the service here is amazing. Read more

Had a great experience here. I went with one other person and we ate at the bar. We ate there be a we didn’t make a... reservation but I actually enjoyed it and think I’d do it again if I went back. We ordered the 35 day old Dry-Aged Rib Eye. Itwas my first time getting a Dry-Aged Rib Eye so I wanted to see what it was about. It was good but didn’t really noticeanything that made it much better than a typical rib eye at a steak house. If I went back I’d just get the regular 14 oz ribeye for $30 cheaper. For my sides I got the macaroni and cheese (delicious), Brussels Sprouts (good), and Bone Marrow. All thesides were good but I’d probably pass on the bone Marrow next time and then good desert instead. I also ordered an old fashionand whiskey sour and both drinks were great. I wish I got the bar tender’s name who was serving us. He did a great job. Asiandude with buzzed hair working on Sunday night 1/16/22. Shout out to him. I’d come back Read more

6/5 service 4/5 food. We came here for a birthday; they had personalized happy birthday menus which was a nice touch. Drinks... were questionable, but the food was good. Steaks were to my taste. I would recommend those who haven't been to try it out. Read more

There was good food and disappointing dishes here. Service was good. We had an appointment at 8:30pm. Starter #1 started at... 9-9:30pm. They did not take our order till 10pm, and got our first course at 10:30. Every course took forever to come and thedessert came almost at midnight. Venison and scallops were very salty. The shallots were burned. But the pasta tasted goodthough. Banana pudding is good. Bread pudding is better. Soup is good. Read more
