    This is a great dinner spot. Yes it’s pricy. It’s quality food and they have superb service. Drinks are very refreshing with top shelf alcohol. I highly recommend.

    Very classy place. Excellent service. Food was good, but not excellent. For the prices charged, the food should be excellent. The annoying part was the bill. Add on charges for every little thing. Nothing annoys a customer more than all the hidden charges for things that you would never expect, nor experience at other restaurants in the region. Sorry, I can NOT recommend this restaurant.

    We had high hopes for our dinner at Cowford Chophouse, but overall the experience didn’t justify the price. The bread service, duck fat cornbread, and pimento mac and cheese were the highlights of our meal. We ordered oysters, Wagyu Spinalis, Wagyu filet, roasted Brussels sprouts, and the mango coconut tart. The Spinalis was the clear standout. However, the Brussels sprouts were overcooked and tasted steamed rather than roasted, and the tart’s crust was so tough I had to cut it with a fork like a knife. Service fell short—inconsistent crumb service between courses and no attention to basic details, like offering crackers with raw oysters. Additionally, there was no enforcement of the dress code; guests wore everything from shorts and hoodies to ball caps and tennis shoes, which took away from the upscale atmosphere. While the staff did kindly remove a cocktail I didn’t enjoy and brought out a birthday dessert, the overall value and experience didn’t meet expectations. We’ve had better meals—and far better service—for half the price elsewhere.

    One of the best steakhouses I’ve been to. This is a not miss. Steaks were done perfectly and absolutely flavorful.

    Wow. I am amazed by the dining experience my wife and I had here. It was truly one of a kind. This was our first time and it definitely won’t be our last. We celebrated my wife’s birthday and she really wanted steak. I heard that Cowford Chophouse has the best steaks so, I made a reservation. She had the 12oz fillet and I had the crab cakes. We shared the whipped potatoes and Brussel sprouts. We also had a delicious mocktail which I don’t remember the name of but it had blackberry and ginger beer. 11/10!
