We had an incredible experience at Cowbobas! From the moment I walked in, the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We ordered the steak and the salmon. The steak itself was absolutely phenomenal. Cooked to perfection, it was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, making each bite a delight. The salmon was equally flavorful! Although we didn't try any sides or desserts, the main course was more than enough to impress. The atmosphere at Cowbobas was equally impressive, with a cozy, relaxed vibe that made for a great dining experience. We were genuinely shocked this place wasn't as busy as it should be. The owners were such nice people, very welcoming and provided us with a great service. We will definitely be coming back!

I was the only one dining there, which is a shame. The older couple running the place are charming. The food is simple and homespun, but fresh and uncomplicated. Prices are higher than posted online, but so is everything these days. I'd happily go back.

This place is a bit baffling at first glance, but I am so glad that I took a chance. I was craving an affordable steak, and their sirloin steak was the perfect price for a thick, juicy steak. It was cooked perfectly, and not over seasoned, which made the meat really shine. Also, their thai tea smoothie is the perfect dessert after; bold tea flavor, nice and sweet with a coconut finish that's downright decadent.

This place deserves WAY MORE BUSINESS! I was shocked to know i was only the third dull customer to come all day. The prices have updated but the service was beyond amazing and it made me feel like i was back home in Hawai'i eating my grandmothers food. I love it here and promised them that i would be back. They were just about to shut down but took my order & even refused to let me pay for my beer since i tipped them. Kinda makes me sad that they aren't doing better , cause they are SO SWEET & SO FRIENDLY! Elderly couple made me feel like HOME & the vibes were just there! I love them , & i will be back! they definitely gave me family vibes & made me feel welcome. 💕

My family and I have been coming to Cowbobas since I was in middle school and I’m still coming here as an adult. The food is amazing for a reasonable price, the boba menu is huge with every flavor you can think of, and everyone who works here is extremely kind. Thank you Cowbobas!

I ordered a 20oz porter. I received the most flat steak ever, at 14oz for $35. Their menu online said $22. I know for a fact this is not a 20-oz steak. I cut meat for a living as a journeyman with years of experience with fish, poultry, pork and my specialty, beef. So, there you go. I also ordered it medium well. I got beef jerky. So, there you go. I'm still hungry.

Had a great late night dinner with family! The inside is cute and the owners were super sweet. Food came out relatively fast for a 8 person dinner and all of it tasted amazing! Their boba smoothies are also great. Its a little bit higher on the price end but its 100% worth it. Definitely will be coming back

Worst experience ever. Ordered 4 T-Bones and received 4 sirloins, cold potatoes and hard toast. When we told the lady we asked for T - Bones she said she made a mistake and the steaks were ribeyes. Once we attempted to eat the steak they tasted as if they were sitting for hours or put into the microwave before “cooked”. Best part about this place was the salad, I will stick to what we know which is Columbine Steakhouse.
