Review of Cowboy Star Restaurant And Butcher Shop

I have been to Cowboy Star three times in the past year for various occasions. The first two trips were really good— we had good waiters and they listened to what I said so I felt safe, and didn’t get sick. I went last night and got really sick despite feeling safe. I told the waiter to clean the grill for my steak but I don’t think he fully registered it, and I don’t think it was done. Both of our ‘gluten free’ appetizers and side dishes (labeled on the menu) came in cast iron skillets and I think that’s how I got sick even though I didn’t eat very much of it because they came in that dish. I ate their gluten free bread which they assured me was safe because they don’t make their gluten bread in house. The manager has told me previously that they can’t guarantee that the fryer is dedicated, so I’ve never eaten fries there. Also not gluten related— they add horseradish to plain mashed potatoes and don’t advertise it so heads up if you don’t like horseradish!
