Our server Natalya ws fantastic. Very knowledgeable and attentive. Spent a lot of time in Colorado, around real cowboys and steak was as good as I have ever had. The carrot cake belongs in the American Museum of High Calorie Desserts". Really good. Too many people for me, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the restaurant. Definitely would go back and have the rattlesnake carpaccio. Kidding, they didn't have that.

I love this place! I went specifically for the ‘Cowboy Benedict’ that I had there a long time ago (eggs Benedict with filet mignon instead of Canadian bacon) and some of the best hollandaise sauce I’ve ever tasted- it’s whipped or something- just sooo good. I still can’t believe how good it is. My friend ordered the breakfast burrito and it was fantastic, too- not my personal ‘go to’ but delicious just the same. Dinner there is a treat, too. Service is excellent, attention to detail is appreciated, just an all around high-end experience (but actually not outrageously priced). Keep up the great work, and thank you!!!

We are locals and hadn’t been to The Gambling Cowboy in awhile. We sat on the patio and had a fabulous dinner of prime rib and salmon. Service was first class, we had just returned from France, our dinner and the service here rivaled all the restaurants we had dined out in Europe. Keep up the good work. Our server was excellent, he works at South Coast winery too. We will be back!

To start, I never have been a fan of green beans specially served at an upscale steakhouse. The corn was very good, I ordered the Rib eye Steak special. I asked for Mid Rare. It was closer to a Medium & too firm to the bite for a rib eye. I don’t know if this establishment serves Prime beef. But it definitely wasn’t! Colleen the server was very nice. Nice price on the Justin Cab. Servers should have a linen napkin with them when pouring wine. If there’s a small spill it can be easily dabbed!

My husband and I celebrated our 43rd anniversary the Gambling Cowboy. When we arrived, I was somewhat put off by the kitchy decor in the lobby. However, once we got seated in the outdoor area, we were pleased with the warmth and friendliness of our server, Casey as well as the other staff. Casey's knowledge of the menu and wine list helped us enjoy our dinner. My husband's filet mignon was tender and cooked to his liking. I ordered the short ribs with mushroom risotto and it was delicious. I'm a light eater and I wish there was an option of half orders. All in all, I would recommend Gambling Cowboy for doing their steaks right!

Food was excellent and service was top notch. The decor was a eclectic. Sort of reminded me of what a brothel over a saloon might have looked like in the 1880's. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes good food and atmosphere. The only thing could have been improved on was the music. It sounded like an FM radio station playing country music. The ambiance deserved music that was more sophisticated - at least without commercials. But other than that, the place is definitely a must.

We've enjoyed and recommended Gambling Cowboy for several years, but this visit was a disappointment. Two of our party ordered the French Onion soup and both came only moderately warm, so the cheese on top was somewhat congealed and tough to eat, compared to the typically piping hot melted cheese one expects. Also, three of our party got the garlic mashed potatoes with their meals and these also were not hot. It seemed like they were made at the start of dinner service, then they attempted to keep them warmed throughout the service. Our waitress did deduct the soups from our menus and replaced the potatoes, but even the replacements were not hot. Our meats were wonderful, as were our vegetables, but at these prices, we expect better attention to detail on everything.

Prime rib and rib eye steak were delicious and cooked perfectly. Our server was very good - when we saw her. She was spread very thin. We finished eating and it was over 20 minutes until we were asked about dessert. Arrived about 7pm and didn't leave until 9:30. Need more servers.

Our reservation was for six people on a Saturday evening. We were seated promptly on the outdoor deck, but three of our party had our backs so close to the door that they were bumped into a number of times by servers and customers. Our server was moderately friendly and became less so, and much less attentive, after our food took over AN HOUR to come out. When I asked about it, she got snarky with me and said she couldn't guarantee a time for our food. The food was tasty, but three of the five steaks we ordered were either cooked at the wrong temperature or were on the wrong plate. We were offered no compensation for the long wait or the mix up with our food. No apologies. Just a "Thanks for your patience" quip when our food came out. I have been to the Gambling Cowboy a number of times and never experienced it quite this bad.

We had a lovely time. It’s a good thing we weren’t in a hurry. There were plenty of servers and plenty of tables unfortunately it seemed as though the kitchen was way understaffed. With that said they did turn out a very yummy breakfast. I got the short ribs Benedict ask them to replace the English muffin with a biscuit and it was fantastic. My husband got the steak Benedict with the medallions and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. It’s too bad they didn’t have the help. Some people were really really getting upset. But if you hit it when they’re fully staffed I highly recommend this restaurant.

The Gambling Cowboy is definitely the hidden gem in Old Town Temecula. We will be telling everyone who ventures to the Temecula Wineries to have one meal here. The food and service was fantastic! Though it is located off the curbs of the main street of Old Town it is definitely worth the effort.

This was our first time here after eyeing the place for several months. They’re very busy and reservations are usually all taken by the time we tried to get one, but this day we got lucky and got a 3pm reservation. The service was timely and friendly. Everything from appetizer to dessert was spot on! Drinks were strong, but delicious. Hefty price tag at the end for just my husband and I ($250) after tipping 30%. But for special occasions totally worth it IMO. Loved the bread and butter with chives they gave while we waited. For an app we got the stuffed jalapeños in a raspberry sauce.. YUM!!
