This is a fun place to eat, especially if you are an adventuresome diner. We went for lunch and didn't need reservations, but we were told that you definitely need reservations for dinner.
Because we wanted to be able to sample a variety of foods, we ordered three appetizers and our waitress was also kind enough to bring us a sample of their french-fried sweet potatoes -- they were delicious. We ordered buffalo brouchettes, battered and fried cactus strips and nachos. The buffalo was tender and tasty -- it doesn't taste like beef and it may be an acquired taste if you're expecting it to taste like beef. I really liked the flavor, but my husband thought it was just okay. We had similar reactions to the fried cactus strips -- I loved them. Again, it is hard to describe a food that is so different. They are firm yet juicy -- when I ate pickled cactus, I thought of okra, but fried cactus wasn't like fried okra at all. The flavor again is hard to compare because it is so unusual. The nachos were not unlike any other nachos at any other restaurant. We also ordered their special margaritas made with high-end liquors. These were not large drinks and were rather pricey, but they were worth it in taste -- very smooth!
The decor is what you would expect from a restaurant named the Cowboy Club -- puts you in mind of an old saloon, but a very upscale old saloon. At the bar, there is one stool that looks like a horse's patoot, complete with tail. There are pictures and memorabilia on the wall of the Southwest.
The service was good, but not great. Our waitress was very pleasant, but they were having computer problems while we were there. The food came out of very quickly, which was impressive.
