Delays and layovers are a traveler's nightmare! Having 3 hours to kill within an airport, my hubby and I decided to get some lunch and waste some time. We asked a worker at a gift shop what her favorite food spot is in the airport. She immediately directed us to Cowboy Ciao.
Passing this place on our way to our next gate, I saw how packed it was. It looked more like a bar to me, since the bar sits in the middle of the mini-restaurant with giant big screen TVs. They do have lounge seating, which is convenient for small (1-2 people) or semi-large parties (6 people seating). There are also small tables, but it didn't feel cramped to me.
We ordered the Stetson salad, and it was the best salad I've ever tasted! I also recommend their Open Faced Steak Sandwich. It's basically two pieces of filet mignon on top of soft french bread and topped with the most delicious sauce. It's not the type of sandwich you'd imagine. We both shared both meals and it filled us up, so the portion size is pretty decent.
The price is about average (being a tad bit expensive on their pricier meal menus), but the food is definitely an original and the taste is impeccable! I wish we had this restaurant in Houston!
