We stopped in whilst visiting the Gold Coast and loved it! The staff were great, very easy to talk to and helpful. The food was amazing! I had the fish and chips — I have never had such nice fish & chips. Chips were the best I've ever had and the fish was perfect. Combine those with the drinks and it was the best meal I had on my holiday. Thanks guys!
Cute venue with a great theme and vibe. Love that they've got free pool, free darts and free shuffleboard, such a good touch. The food deals are amazing too, everything was fresh and hot. Definitely worth a visit in Surfers.
Want to experience something different — then come to Cowboys. Themed pool tables, good music & food. Join in the boot scooting line dancing. Also great for lunch for families.
We had such a fun time! Food was tasty! Music and atmosphere was enjoyable! Thank you for a memorable day! We will be back!
