About The Cowboy on the Lake
The Cowboy on the Lake Reviews
All 4 of our party thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Very generous portions. Our server was terrific & of course the view can't be beat.
If you want a true country bar, like you'd see in places like Nashville, I would absolutely not recommend it.
Actually be the country bar you claim to be. Paid $10 per person just to hear crappy remixed dance music with lyrics from country songs. Wouldn't be shocked if there was copyright infringement going on with how bad the music was.
The bartenders were friendly and the drinks were reasonably priced though so it wasn't all bad.
