    The quality of the food was outstanding. We have been in Nashville for about a year and it was one of the best meals we have had. Servers were knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. Restaurant haas only been been open for a week and there were some minor technical glitches, but overall, an outstanding meal.

    I had the best experience last night dining at the Detroit Cowboy, the restaurant is lovely and welcoming, the staff were very efficient and informative as they explained the menu and the options. They made us feel very comfortable and helped us make delicious menu choices. I had the Pork Chop while my husband had the American Wagyu steak which were both cooked to perfection! I had the French onion soup which was perfect and it is a favourite of mine so I have have experienced this soup at many establishments and I was very happy with this choice. My husband enjoyed the Oysters Rockerfeller which he enjoyed. They bring in their seafood fresh daily and American products. The breads delivered to the table were freshly made and amazing as well !! The prices are fair for the quality of the dining experience and the quality of the food as well and I do plan on dining here again and again as it is within walking distance to the TPAC in Nashville so great for a nice meal before a play. Parking was easy and safe !! I have NO complaints and only compliments for Detroit Cowboy !! I loved this experience and look forward to being there again soon!! Sid our waiter was interesting and informative !! He left no details out and knew what we needed !!!

    Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review, Linda. It truly means a lot to our team. We’re glad your visit to The Detroit Cowboy was such a memorable experience, from the warm atmosphere to the care our staff showed in guiding you through the menu. It’s wonderful to hear your meals were cooked to perfection and that the French onion soup met your high standards, especially as a favorite of yours. We take pride in sourcing fresh seafood daily and using high-quality ingredients, so it's rewarding to know those efforts shine through. We’ll pass along your kind words to Sid, he’s incredibly passionate about what he does. We love being a stop before a great show and are glad everything made for an easy, enjoyable evening. Thank you again for choosing The Detroit Cowboy.

    We went for opening night and sat for apps at the bar. Wendy was one of the most attentive bartenders ever! Kid Rock was there with his family and mingled and was very nice! Beautifully decorated and the burata and steak tartare appetizers were some of the best that I’ve ever had. Will definitely go back when we are back in town

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Yvette. We’re thrilled (but not surprised) to hear that Wendy took such wonderful care of you. She’s truly an asset to our team. We're also glad you enjoyed the burrata and steak tartare appetizers. They’re certainly fan favorites. Kid Rock, his family, and the entire team are excited to welcome guests to The Detroit Cowboy, and we can't wait to serve you again the next time you're in town!
