Menu At-a-Glance
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in the South, eat like a Southerner! Get things started off right by sinking your teeth into some freshly made fried green tomatoes – prepared from locally grown produce. Looking for something a bit more filling? You might gravitate toward the restaurant’s Bourbon Street Crab Cake or an appetizer plate of hot, succulent chicken tenders. Even if you’re watching your weight, you’ll find something good to get the meal going with. Whether you’re sipping on a yummy soup or are enjoying a house salad, you can be proud of the fact that you’re sticking to your diet while still enjoying full flavor.
Enough with the appetizers! A burger is always the perfect All-American solution for lunch or dinner, and you can have your pick of a beef or bison burger with all the fixins like cheese, bacon, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and avocado. Sandwiches like like the popular Cowboys and Angeles Grilled Cheese on Texas Toast, Crab Cake BLT, or Chicken Sandwich are also a great pick.
Still, the restaurant is better known for its succulent steaks and seafood platters. You’ll get nothing but 100% Certified Aged Angus Beef when you order a ribeye or filet mignon here. And you’ll definitely get your seafood fix. From fish and chips to fresh salmon filet to lobster tails, Cowboys and Angels has it all.
Save any room for dessert? You won’t want to miss out on the restaurant’s famous strawberry shortcake with rest fruit. And chocolate lovers won’t be able to resist the chocolate pecan hot fudge brownie, made fresh and in-house with a healthy scoop of ice cream on the side.
