About Cowboy Ciao

Cowboy Ciao is a restaurant located in the airport, near gates B20, offering a sit-down dining experience. The guacamole and chips plate remains a popular choice, featuring a generous portion of homemade-tasting salsa. The fried chicken sandwich is still recommended, known for its good seasoning and a mustard coleslaw side. The Caesar chicken salad continues to be a menu highlight, providing a substantial chicken portion in every bite. Prices are typically “airport high,” with the salad costing $14.99 and a small diet Coke priced at $3.99. Service is generally quick, and the staff is friendly, with some reviews praising the polite service. The restaurant provides a quieter atmosphere amidst airport chaos, making it a solid choice for a beverage and some food between flights. The turkey melt has gained attention, featuring turkey, Oaxaca cheese, applewood smoked bacon, arugula, and tomato, topped with a flavorful buttermilk pesto dressing on well-toasted bread. The shrimp and grits were considered acceptable, while the shrimp polenta was described as delicious. Although the bar and restaurant in terminal A are reportedly busier, Cowboy Ciao is a step up from typical airport options and worth trying if looking for a solid meal during a layover. Dietary restrictions are accommodated, with gluten-free and lactose-free options available. While tables are close together and the atmosphere can be noisy when busy, it is still a decent place to spend time in terminal 4 near gate B22.
