I have been to this restaurant several times before and it has always been one of my favorites. The…read moredrinks were amazing and the food was consistently great. Last night I finally brought my husband to try it after hyping it up for so long, and unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. Things have definitely changed. I was really looking forward to the chicken fried chicken, only to find out they were completely out of mashed potatoes. For a place known for chicken, that was surprising. So I ended up just sharing some of my husband's meal and our appetizer. The cornbread has always been something I rave about, especially with their hot honey. This time it came out dry, and the hot honey had no heat at all. It just was not the same. My husband's fried chicken was honestly the worst part. It was burnt, with a layer of black under the breading, and tasted like it had been overcooked to the point of being charred. There is no way the kitchen did not see how dark it was before serving it. That said, his sides were still great, so at least part of the meal was enjoyable. Our friend's chicken sandwich was not terrible, but it did not taste fresh like it used to. It felt more like something frozen and heavily breaded instead of the quality we had experienced before. One positive was the service. Our server was wonderful, and the rest of the staff was kind and attentive as well. I accidentally spilled my drink right after it arrived, and they were quick and gracious to replace it even though it was completely my fault. That was very much appreciated. The other issue that really took away from the experience was the atmosphere. Halfway through our meal, a large group of adults sat in the courtyard and had their children sit separately at a table right next to us, while their parents remained in another section of the patio. The kids were clearly having fun and playing games, which is great, but they were also very loud and screaming just a foot away from our table while their parents enjoyed quiet drinks elsewhere. There were completely open sections of the patio farther away where they could have sat, so it was frustrating that they were placed right next to the only other table of adults trying to enjoy a night out. It ended up being very disruptive and took away from what we had hoped would be a relaxing evening. Overall, I was really disappointed. This used to be a place I highly recommended, but after this visit it feels like the quality and attention to detail have slipped. I truly hope they can get back to what made them so great before.

Absolutely terrible experience from start to finish…read more Our party of three was seated and immediately told the kitchen was extremely backed up. Not a problem but we then waited 30+ minutes just for an appetizer. While waiting, I purchased shots directly from the bar and brought them back to our table. Shortly after, a staff member approached our table and asked to see one of our guest's IDs, apparently questioning his age. He provided his ID without issue and was confirmed to be 24 years old. Not long after that, another member of our party attempted to order an additional round of shots since we had been waiting 45 minutes by now for our entrées and was told he was being cut off for being intoxicated. This made absolutely no sense considering 2 of us had only consumed one beer and the 3 of us had one shot each. No one was causing a disturbance, slurring words, or acting intoxicated. The entire situation felt hostile, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. Between the excessive wait times, poor service, being questioned after legally purchasing drinks, and then being accused of intoxication with virtually no alcohol consumed, our experience was ruined. It was evident that our waitress was butt hurt that we bypassed her and went straight to the bar for shots instead of her making that tip of a couple dollars off of that individual tab. We paid for what we had received and left before our entrées even arrived. I've never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant. There are far too many good places to spend your money to tolerate this level of service and treatment. I will never return and cannot recommend this establishment to anyone.

The gentleman was friendly and made us think we reserved a certain table. When we arrived for dinner it was a completely different experience. We were originally sat in the corner upstairs at what was more of a coffee table type sitting area. We asked to move to a an actual table, which they were fine with. Took about 15 minutes to get a server probably because they sat us upstairs with ample tables downstairs but once she knew we were up there and others got seated the service was good. 2 of our people got the mashed potatoes and both thought they were instant mashed potatoes. The chicken breast was rubbery and seems as it was frozen. The Espresso martini was pretty good and so was the seared Tuna. Probably a one and done for us. Maybe just for drinks and music on the rooftop.

We came to Cowboys & Cadillacs as it seemed like a cool place to go. They have dinning inside. But outside roof top there is a huge stage, and big fire pit. The second level is more seating and a bar. A lot of people were out. A couple "brides to be" with their party were out too. The band was good. Ordered a blueberry mojito. Very nice. Also ordered their flat bread pizza. Loved the bbq sauce that was on it. And picked jalapeños. Great night over all.

It has a classy, tasteful speakeasy vibe without feeling overdone or pretentious. They also have a private room that would be great for a special group gathering or a more intimate celebration. The grand piano in the room adds a really elegant touch and makes the space feel even more elevated. We went on a Monday night, so it's hard to say what the normal energy is like on a busier evening, but the overall atmosphere was still very pleasant. Service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The only thing I would have loved was a little more creativity or guidance with the cocktails. The space gives the impression that you're about to get a true mixologist-style experience, but the recommendations we received were pretty standard, like Old Fashioneds and martinis. We were hoping for something a little more unique or original, maybe a twist on a Sidecar or an elevated take on a classic Old Fashioned. That said, it's still a beautiful spot with great ambience, pleasant service, and a very nice overall feel. I would definitely go back, especially on a busier night to see the full vibe.

When I saw the mechanic shop conversion and industrial interior I got worried. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and a tad unprepared for shift opening.

When they didn't know the answer to the million questions we had they got it for us from the kitchen staff or manager. Zero pretension. All the kindness. I can't remember what we ordered; we ordered at least half the menu. Every single dish was amazing. We will for sure be back sans boomers for many date nights to come.

The waitstaff is wonderful and everyone is so nice. I get the same dishes every single time because I know they are very good...the hummus and their bread is amazing! Caesar is also super good every time. We love getting the meatballs and the shrimp dish...the shrimp one is probably my favorite item on the menu. I don't even love wine but the wines I have had there are great! The only cons I do have to say are I wish the menu had more options or when there are specials it's more than one day before they sell out. I LOVE tiramisu and that's the one dessert they do have but I've only been able to order it once because every other time they are sold out and I understand you run out but then there needs to be a second or third option to choose from. I look forward to ordering the tiramisu every time and I haven't been able to in months because they never have it. This is one of my go to places when I do eat out here and I'm happy with getting the same dishes over and over because they are good but I am interested and excited to see what else they add to the menu in the future!!
