Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop San Diego Reviews
they made us wait forever, even though we had a reservation
they made us wait forever, even though we had a reservation no apology. It was a special occasion I wanted to like cowboy star, but they really let us down. The weight was over 30 minutes even though we had a reservation.

Came here for my birthday to enjoy one of the best steaks in San Diego. The inside is very large with plenty of seating. Would recommend making reservations. The service here is impeccable. They are very attentive. The steaks were also very goo
The steaks are aged, seasoned and g cooked perfectly.
The side dishes are so good too. The staff is so friendly and professional. Parking can be tough to find.

We came here for my husband's birthday and had a great experience. Everything had great flavor and was great quality. The prime rib really stood out to me as well as the Mac n cheese. Each of our steaks came with mashed potatoes and green beans
We went on a Thursday and parking was really easy.
The service was just ok. The food came out pretty fast. We got the house rolls, nothing really special. The signature corn soup was pretty average. We got the wagyu skirt steak and the ribeye. We liked the ribeye more. The mash potatoes had this seas

what more is there to say about C-star.
Place is 9.5/10. As usual, old fashioned was A+. Wagyu Skirt was A+. Had to sit at the little bar to the right of the host station. My fault though. Service was great. Ambiance, amazing. Will continue to dine at C-star 3-4 times per year.
The steak was tender and flavorful 8.
5/10. The Dessert we got was chocholate chip bread pudding.The pudding was hot but the ice cream makes it warm so I can eat it. The dessert is better than the steak, like no kidding. Also I suggest sitting at the bar because for some reason sitting

If you're looking for a classic steak house, look no further. From its leather seats, wooden architecture, mood lighting, and old school western movie posters, Cowboy Star delivers not just on food but also on ambiance. They have a great happy
The steak I had was amazing.
Cooked perfectly. The accoutrements of green beans and the mashed potatoes were perfect. I didn't get a pic of the bone marrow but it too was delicious. The inside of this restaurant is unique and very cool. Rustic brick on one wall. Open kitche

First of all the service and presentation is just fantastic! Joined coworkers for happy hour and boy am I glad I did. The deviled eggs and the C sliders were super tasty. The old fashioned was one of the best I've had here in San Diego. Deviled

Food - Ambiance- Service 10/10 all around! We enjoy coming to Cowboy Star with our family. Our 8 year old does too! lol
Had an amazing happy hour with a friend from out of town.
The bartender was very patient with us because of my fashionably late sister. We ordered the skewers, sliders and fries. All were delicious.
Incorrect hours posted.
Showed up at 9:30 to a closed restaurant. This had my wife leaving the restaurant in tears. I have heard from other people that there is a problem with cockroaches here and that the food made them sick. Bad business practices all around. I would sugg

The ambiance was lovely, a modern rustic decor with mood lighting on the restaurant side. The booths were nice and tall so they actually buffered the noise in the room well. Jodi was our server and she did everything we'd hope for, including ke
I recently visited Cowboy Star with friends downtown.
Parking can be a headache in the area, but we were lucky enough to find a great spot nearby. We had a reservation but were seated in the back corner, which felt a bit tucked away. I think the open area near the bar has a much better atmosphere and w

It has been quite some time since I've been here.
the Bar is no longer in a separated room and it's open to the rest of the restaurant (looks great!). the bartop seating was packed but there were some low seats available. i pulled up and a server brought me a menu. I ordered the Margarita (x2)
Ohhhh myyyyy goodness.
It's hard to even know how to start, but when some place is this spectacular in every which way... you have no other choice, even if you are too busy to spend a few minutes to give your input. Some restaurants have great staff, maybe making up
Dined here for a birthday celebration on a Friday.
We had a reservation at 5pm for a party of 3. We were running about 15min late but I called the restaurant and they were able to accommodate. Make sure to leave plenty of time to find parking. Before our order came out they brought out a small pale

Had an amazing time at Cowboy Star! The food was spot on -- my wife's Old Fashioned was made just right, the oysters were super fresh, and the cowboy ribeye was cooked perfectly. We grabbed seats at the bar on a busy Friday night and Cassandra
TLDR; Poor service & food ESPECIALLY for the price.
I would recommend looking elsewhere for any special occasions or dinner dates. I'll start by saying the ambience is really nice but the food & service was quite disappointing. For a little bit of context, my party had reservations ahead o
Good Ambience.
Great Steak and Service. However. Portions on mash potatoes are not much. You want steak sauce it's extra $7, dinner roll 4 each $9. So don't ask for A1 steak sauce. All are extra charge. Pricey Steak house if you're not too hungry.

Great steak in San Diego
Cowboy Star offers a great menu and attentive service. It has a rather straightforward steakhouse menu, with some fun cocktails. I appreciate that their main cuts of steak come with mashed potatoes and a vegetable, as opposed to those all being added
Amazing !!

Ordered the 8 oz.
Wagyu Skirt Steak, for $64 it's a reasonable price. Happy hour drinks are also great served from 3-6 pm. Cool atmosphere and the bread service was excellent. Will definitely be back!

Was not impressed with this place which is disappointing since I was excited to try it for my husband's birthday. To start our food took 40+ minutes to arrive. My steak lacked flavor and when I received it, it was under cooked so i had to send it

Never ever do yelp reviews but this place was perfect and service was out of this world. All the servers are really on it. Everything we requested was met with excellent customer service. Food was amazing. Came here for my girls birthday and they mad
This has always been one of my favorite steakhouses.
Their warm rolls are a perfect way to start off the experience. I am in love with the local organic greens salad, but you really can't go wrong with any appetizer. I always go with the fillet, which comes with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The past

The tartare was delicious, bread was mediocre, steak was very tasty. Drinks were also good. Service was just ok and they try to upsell you a lot. They charge for everything - sauce, splitting the plate, bread. Most steakhouses have free bread. A

Flawless service, friendly ambiance, purse hooks at the bar, and LITERALLY THE BEST STEAK OF MY LIFE. The flank steak was amazing, I've been dreaming about it every day since I visited a couple weeks ago. Really enjoyed sitting at the bar for dinner
High quality meats and great service, but the execution was a bit lacking
This restaurant is rated one of the top steak places in San Diego, and it is located in a lovely physical space with wonderful servers and great service. I ordered the onion soup as my starter, and my wife had the Local Organic Greens salad. The oni
The Best Night we Could Have Had.

The food, service and entertainment were all spot on! Dinner and a show is always nice! Try getting seating at the kitchen high top or even in front of the desert station. Great experience!
Great place for an after work event.
All the food is prepared well, and the servers are very attentive. I'm a little surprised there isn't a chicken dish, though.

The service was great, but the ambiance and food were both mediocre. In hindsight, we should have gone to Born and Raised.

The host ran half a block to give us our forgotten leftovers! Awesome birthday experience. The steak included mashed potatoes and green beans which most places do not include.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
