I have been to cowtown tavern a few times. Each time I have left feeling as if there wasn't enough servers to give proper attention to each table. It's a sit anywhere kind of place but with that it takes them over 10 minutes to bring menus to the table. All 3 times I had to ask for plates and silverware. The food was okay nothing spectacular. The last time, and final time I gave them a shot, the server we had seemed to be in an awful mood and was extremely short with everyone when ordering. She didn't know what beers they had so my friend had to get up and go to the bar to see. It just seems like she was having a bad day and possibly weeded but her attitude left a bad taste in my mouth and she said she had worked there from when it was still dicks wings. It gave the vibe of "I'm tired and I want to go home so hurry up and order". Not very welcoming.

I visit Cowtown when I find myself in the Lakewood area. Lisa the bartender is awesome! TV's are gigantic and always have the latest sport. This week it was the Players. Food is good and beer is cold!

BLT with Fries and Hot Honey Chicken Tacos with Cheese Curds

My Wife liked her BLT. My Tacos were good, but the Cheese Curds were not good at all.

The owner of this bar is so kind and genuine! We love to come with the Jacksonville Clemson club. The food is great, always hot and lots of choices. Prices are also great! The vibes are spectacular! It's clean and has lots of space. Tons of tvs for sports.I highly recommend checking them out !

Cowtown Tavern is a local hang out that seems to be a good place to watch a game and take in some pub grub. The interior is casual with exposed brick walls, wood floors, black and dark brown accents with barrels sprinkled in for additional decor. The bar is huge with music playing in the background and there are plenty of TVs to view sports. There is bar seating along with tables and high-tops. Our waitress Rebekka was a superstar! She had to be. It looked like she was the only person serving about 6-7 tables. Maybe we orders the wrong things but the food we ordered was average. The fried pickles were decent, the bang-bang shrimp was solid, and the nachos were subpar with cold cheese. There was also some kind of smell going on that wasn't food. It reminded me of a backed up disposal. Could have been an off day here, and I'm not opposed to trying them again. They seemed to have a good following, but I just expected more from what we ordered.

Beautiful margarita.

Great day at the Cow. Thanks Haley for trying new recipes for me! Great place to hang after work. Perfect place with a the screens to watch football on the weekends!

Macho Nachos
Laura A.

Decided to try this restaurant based on the Yelp reviews but we were disappointed. We opted for a few appetizers to share and only learned they no longer carried one of our choices that was listed on the menu. Our waitress said she was sorry for not telling us right away but that no one usually ordered it. We quickly decided on a substitute and ordered the Macho Nachos, Bang Bang shrimp and pickle chips with sriracha ranch. The pickle chips were okay, very greasy but the sriracha ranch helped cut that grease. The Bang Bang Shrimp offered 6 large shrimp, tasted good, but the tails were left on the shrimp and fried which made it difficult to remove the tails. The nachos were awful. The cheese was barely warm and there were only a handful of beans. We thought the description including two types of beans (black & pinto) meant a decent amount of protein, but we barely had any beans. The food was blah and disappointing. Our waitress was working hard the entire time, she seemed to be the only waitress for the whole restaurant and was serving at least 6 other tables and sweeping the floor. She was lovely and even offered sodas to go when we were ready to leave.

I've been to the Red Gill Bistro for a Yelp event prior and have been wanting to come back since. I…read morebrought one of my gfs this time and we had a great mom's night out! Charlie was the lead bartender and our server, he is absolutely fantastic!! Such a people person with such a kind demeanor! So glad we had him! We started with the potato skins, which were delish! I chose the chicken quesadilla and my friend chose the chicken tenders with fries. Speaking as someone who LOVES a quesadilla...this one was perfect!! Put together well and did not fall apart one bit, very flavorful, and the tortilla was cooked correctly and was a perfect golden color, zero burn marks!! My friend loved her tenders as well, the crinkle fries were great too! Definitely will return to try more items!! The decor at this time for the Sippin Santa is the perfect ambiance for some fun & a night out! We had a great time, keep it up Laura- you've got a very special thing going here!!!

Was excited to try the Luck of the Irish pop-up appetizers with friends, but we left disappointed…read more The St. Paddy's Day decor was nice, however the floors, tablecloth, chairs, and even the seat cushions were extremely sticky. Staff mentioned it was from drinks spilled by other guests, which really showed a lack of proper cleaning. We ordered all six appetizers but only received five, as the Guinness pub cheese never came out. The Reuben eggrolls were a 4/5 and the giant pretzel for two was a 5/5, but the other three appetizers were about a 1/5. The specialty drinks were also underwhelming. Angela's drink was mostly ice with very little flavor, especially disappointing for $15. My Irish cream drink needed ice added several times. I'm also unsure why a 13% gratuity was automatically added when there were only four of us with three separate checks. For two appetizers and two drinks, my bill came to $63 with tip. Very overly priced. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating, but she mentioned she was also the bartender, waitress and host, so it seemed like they were understaffed. Unfortunately, between the cleanliness issues, missing item, and underwhelming food and drinks, I'm not sure I'd come back.

The Red Gill Bistro - The potato and meat pizza was my least favorite. And not because it didn't taste good but because the combo wasn't for me.

Okayyyy Stonewood, I SEE YOU!…read more Let me start by saying this restaurant easily made my TOP 3 dining experiences in Jacksonville this year! And honestly, it might be one of my favorites EVER here. We ordered a little bit of everything, and when I tell you there wasn't a single disappointment on that table?! We started with the crab dip and buffalo shrimp with blue cheese. Both were SO GOOD! The crab dip was creamy and flavorful, and those buffalo shrimp?! Definitely an appetizer I'd order again! For our entrées, we had the creamy chicken pasta and chicken served with mashed potatoes and greens. The pasta was absolutely delicious! Everything came together so well, and the chicken entrée was just as satisfying. You know the food is good when everybody at the table is enjoying their plate! And because we clearly weren't full enough, we ordered dessert! It was a warm fruit cobbler-style dessert topped with vanilla ice cream, and it was the perfect way to finish our meal. Now, let's not forget the DRINKS! Because those were hitting too! What really made this experience stand out was that the food, drinks, AND service were all amazing. The staff was great, and the entire experience was enjoyable from beginning to end. I love trying restaurants around Jacksonville, and it's not every day that a place impresses me across the board like this. THE VERDICT: ABSOLUTELY A YAY! Stonewood understood the assignment! Whether you're planning a date night, going out with friends, or just want a GOOD meal, I'd definitely recommend giving them a try. 10/10 experience for me, and I WILL be back!
