    Based upon the recommendation from friends, we took the opportunity to have dinner at The Gambling Cowboy. We really enjoyed the cocktails (the High Noon is pictured) and the appetizers (the Cowgirl Kisses are not to be missed). My wife ordered a blackened ribeye, which was cooked to specification and delicious. I enjoyed the filet stroganoff. We'll be back!

    I ordered the burger which was very disappointing. Honestly Chillies smash burger is way better! But my wife’s and daughter’s food was good!

    There was not a large verity of STEAKS and took us 55min. to find a parking space. The restaurant has gone down hill!!!!!!! Had to sent my steak because it was COLD along with my bake potato!!!! Our 44th anniversary was a BIG BUST!!!!! The changes on the menu sucked!! Would not go there again and not recommend to our friends in our retirement community!!! Not worth the hassle!!!
