The Cowboy on the Lake is a popular restaurant with a beautiful lakeside setting and an impressive outdoor patio. The menu features classic American dishes like chicken wings, fish fry, and a free buffet. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, with a classic rock band playing and attentive bartenders. Customers praise the high-quality food, especially the well-cooked BBQ wings and fresh, expertly battered fish fry. The outdoor music with the lake in the background adds to the charm of the place, making it a great spot for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Parking is easy, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Visitors appreciate the spacious and open atmosphere, large portions, and the stunning lakeside views. The back patio overlooking the water is a favorite spot, perfect for warm days, although it can be a little chilly sometimes. Service is often rated highly, with some noting that staff are courteous and attentive, even during busy times. While some mention that the fries may not be their favorite and drinks can taste overly sweet, overall, many find the food good value for the price. Despite new competitors nearby, this "oldie but goodie" continues to be a favorite for locals and visitors alike, offering a great dining experience with good food, fun music, and beautiful outdoor seating.
