They serve lunch and dinner and have a bar. The restaurant tends to get crowded during special event weekends, primarily because it's so close to the Community Center, where so many events take place. They don't usually take reservations, but may do so for a very large party. They offer both smoking and nonsmoking sections. The Cowboy Cafe, on North Tegner Street, is one of those places where you can get a good, hot, simple meal without spending a lot of money.
Dinners come with soup or salad.
The Cowboy Cafe used to have a sign on the tables that offered seconds if you didn't get enough food, but the signs have disappeared, so I don't know if that offer still applies. I'm a big eater and have never needed seconds. The Cowboy Cafe does not serve alcohol. It's open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The atmosphere is simple, the service is friendly.
