Cowboy River Restaurant — Restaurant in Pateros

The raspberry lemonade and raspberry chocolate cheesecake is to DIE FOR. I may have actually transcended this earthly realm. It ain't cheap, that's for diddly darn sure, but if you're feelin' it, TREAT YO SELF. Also, there's WiFi! I love me some WiFi. But best part of all? One can sit outside to admire the OUT OF THIS WORLD view of the best darn river this side of the Mississippi. It gleams just right in the sunlight, making you ponder what in tarnation you ever did to deserve a life so full of beauty and happiness. This is the best place to dine in Pateros. Hands down. The servers are the aaabsolute sweetest, the WiFi is poppin', the food is so good you'll cry when you finish it, and the view is jaw-dropping, so I'm just going to warn you right now... you won't...

Dined there June 27th 2017. The special was seasoned pork medallions with a spiced apple compote, wild rice, mixed vegetables, and garlic bread. We started with a coconut shrimp appetizer which explains the 2 stars as it was very good. The main course however could best be described as dried shoe leather with the only moisture available via 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling mixed with an equal amount of cayenne pepper. The saving grace was the rice and veggies used to cool it down.

Prices are way over the line - even for the tourist trap that it is. They did discount one meal from the tab and we went to a very nearby bakery for a sandwich which was awesome. Sorry...

Some commenters have mentioned the ribeye is "fatty" or "grisley" which is like saying the chicken tastes like chicken because ribeye are "fatty" and that's why their delicious. Many chefs say "Fat is flavor"and they're right.

The best part regarding their steaks I'd bet they're local farm raised beef which makes them juicy and full of flavor. The way beef should taste. A long lost flavor profile in most of today's beef. If you want a lean steak, don't get a ribeye.

Also, the chicken soup is delicioso 👍 Hope to see some Mexican...
