    Stopped here for breakfast on my way home to Sacramento. Cute cafe with lots of art and old school cowgirl decor. I loved it. Food was good and service was amazing too! Would definitely go back.

    Good place for a safety meeting. Just kidding, we took the crew out for a birthday breakfast. Lots of food, portions are large and prices are fair. I didn't see any cowgirls working but the place was decorated well and the cowboys whipped up a mean breakfast. Definitely a greasy spoon style restaurant. Clean multi unit restrooms available.

    We eat at the Cowgirl Cafe often. The food is just wonderful every time whether it's breakfast or lunch, and the wait staff couldn't be more competent or friendly. It's a perfect dining experience in a casual diner.
