If any one word could sum up Cowtippers it would be surprise.
Established in 1993, Cowtippers was conceived as a casual steak house in a
"honky tonk" atmosphere. The original brick walls and aged wood of the 60 year
old building were accented with eclectic art and artifacts while a Texas sized
patio was constructed around a giant river birch tree.
Today Cowtippers is home to traditional steak house fare served with
surprisingly creative twists, in a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere and at
surprisingly value prices.
Thick chargrilled steaks, fresh seafood, plump juicy chicken, the biggest
burgers in town, huge homemade desserts, 25 types of margaritas, a sophisticated
wine list and a room full of smiles-Cowtippers strives to make every dining
experience a celebration of surprise.
