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.
But the surprise doesn't stop there. On any given day you may find a rugby team washing cars in the parking lot, a hula hoop contest on the deck or cotillion planners in the dining room selling magnolia seedlings. Since the first day the doors opened back in 1993 Cowtippers ahs been an avid supporter of the community, of whimsy, and of down right good old fashioned fun. You never know who's going to show up and you never know what we're going to let them do when they get here.
So hurry on over to see us soon and become a part of the surprise that is Cowtippers.
