The service here is great! I had a problem with my food and they were courteous and quick about solving it and gave us a discount without us asking. Truly classy. The Frito pie is also delicious!

Strawberry lemonade was excellent. Only place I've been able to find chicken fried steak in NYC, and it was 7/10... But I'm from Nebraska, so I could be bias :)

You haven’t lived until you’ve had the Frito Pie! We also enjoy the good strong drinks, the friendly service and the Chicken Fried Steak. One of our favorite themed restaurants in NYC.

Good southern food, and drinks too. Try the ribs, and wash it down with a hot mess.

Fun spot that’s not as crowded or chaotic as all the hyped up WV places. Chili was tasty but huge serving so definitely come with an appetite.

Eat the Frito pie, chicken fried chicken, and drink frozen margaritas until you can’t say “chicken fried chicken” without trying really hard. Then order dessert.

The right side of the restaurant is more family oriented. Sit at the bar if you want to avoid screaming kids.
Christina SquitieriSeptember 16, 2016
The fries are delicious and definitely worth it! Margaritas on the rocks are pretty strong, too.

We loved it, the food was great and I can tell you you won't be hungry after that. I recommend the pulled pork burger but you have to like vinegar.

Their Country Fried Steak is a must try. It's always cooked perfectly. Also give the Whisky Pork Chops a try.

Portions are hearty for $24.99!! I highly recommend the ribs. Onion rings were fresh and the decor is fun.

Can't go wrong with brunch here. Side of cheese grits and a biscuit are delish.

What's not to love? A West Village staple with a good big menu, drinks, staff, and environment. Great for groups and families.

The food was sub par but the drinks were perfect. I had the sangria it was just what I needed.

Awesome Bloody Mary. The best I've had in the Village. Good spirited atmosphere, too.

All the food was delicious and the staff were wonderful. Kind, friendly, and very helpful.

Jargaritas. Jargs. Margaritas in a jar. You can call it what you want, but you have to order one. I say, try the prickly pear! It's lightly sweet and tangy.
Angie JenieApril 23, 2017
This is definitely a place for groups. Portions are huge for just one person. They basically serve regular southern/tex-mex fare.
Marco WinklerDecember 16, 2019
The blood orange frozen margarita is a dream. We enjoyed pulled pork nachos and the fish tacos as well.

Pricey but delicious. Love all of the cocktail options. Very fun bar

Chicken Fried Chicken or Chicken Fried Steak are excellent - some of the best Collard Greens around - Frito Pie is Awesome
Caitlin ClementsFebruary 25, 2013
The "All Chopped Up" salad was amazing! Keep an eye out for their whimsical and ever-changing window displays.
Miguel SenquizSeptember 20, 2011
The wings are an appetizer here, but amazing. Not spicy, but rubbed with a nice mild flavoring, and still quite moist. The blue cheese is kinda gross though, so carry out and get your own sauce.
Chuck PierceAugust 6, 2014
BBQ sauce is good here (coming from a BBQ sauce aficionado). Had the BBQ chicken with mash potatoes and both were great. The BBQ beans were just okay.

Black and white nachos, wings, specials, margaritas, tequila, mescal, the awesome people who work here.

All Chopped Up will have you dreaming of it for days. It's HUGE and in my opinion, the best salad in the city.
Georgina O.February 13, 2013
The hangar steak followed by the ice cream baked potato is one of my favorite meals in the world.
Melody EwingJune 29, 2014
Best frozen margaritas I've ever had in my entire life. Not overly sweet. Made with real fruit.
Chas PressnerJune 25, 2015
Amazing Tex-Mex/American food and cool vibe. Try the prickly pear margarita.

Artichoke fritters are a delicious.
David DeParolesaAugust 14, 2015
Frozen margs are the best in the city. The pulled pork nachos is worth the weight. :)
DavidJanuary 4, 2017
Unfortunately wasn't very good. Not a single thing on our plates felt home made or fresh. Everything seemed like it came out of a can and heated. Service was friendly and helpful, though!
Caitlin ClementsMay 30, 2013
Amazing salads with warm grilled chicken on top. Fun window decor that changes seasonally.

It's like they transported a Western Dad's basement from the late 70's… to NYC… on an Airstream. Hard to find a friendlier place to drink. — Ben T., Creative

The mac & cheese tastes just like moms home cooking. Cowgirl has the best comfort food you'll find in all of NYC

Cowgirl's chicken fried steak is exemplary in every way-it's something of a culinary miracle. Underneath is a mound of mashed potatoes, which is the proper accompaniment

Food is pretty good, easy casual atmosphere. Great for happy hour
