| - Let's start with the food. I have to say that I am impressed every time I eat here. No, it's not Charlie Trotter's, but for bar food, it's way above average. The grits are some of the best I have ever eaten. Pork belly was really good, meaty, not too much fat. Burgers are pretty amazing. You may want to split it as they are huge. One thing I like about their food is that it is not over salted. So be prepared to add your own salt.
Happy hour deals are excellent. Highly recommended.
Wait staff is friendly and fast. I can see things slowing down as the night progresses and get's busy, but that is not their fault. When we have been there on a weekday, the waitstaff is dressed pretty respectfully, but on weekends or concert nights they show a lot more skin (not that I'm complaining). Just keep that in mind if you plan to bring the kiddos.
Concerts: we have been to 3 concerts there and really enjoy the small venue, intimate stage, energetic crown, dancing. The only down side is that it is *very* loud. Bring ear plugs and you will enjoy it a little more. If you go, don't be intimidated by the "country" crowd. Everyone is very nice.
A couple of thinks are keeping Cowboys from 5 stars: 1) concerts do not start on time and this is a big problem, tickets say they start at 5p and usually don't come on until 10 or 11, be honest with us and just tell us, and I watch a lot of people leave because of this, 2) the women bathrooms run out of TP *very* early on, and the ridiculous bathroom attendants that take all the hand towels and then make you feel bad for not tipping them for a towel to dry your hand is *not* cool.
