Even before I headed out on my western adventure, I had heard about the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar.
After talking with many friends and colleagues, I was given the advice to stop at the iconic Million Dollar Cowboy Bar when I visited Jackson, Wyoming.
After a quick stop at the hotel, I was on my phone searching for the location and phone number of this mysterious place I had heard of. Check out 7 Travel Apps You Need Before Your Next Travel Adventure here because I was putting a lot of them to use.
Well, I found out that the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar is not just a bar but a restaurant as well so I made reservations to get the whole million dollar experience.
I, along with my family, found our way to the bar in the center of town near the antler arches in the town square. Check out the neat photo above of the arches.
We found out that the restaurant is down a few stairs below the actual bar, and while we were waiting for our table to be ready, my mom and I made our way to see the actual bar.
My under 21 sister was only able to peer in to view the décor and atmosphere of the bar sadly.
As I walked in, there they were the highlight of the actual bar, at least in my opinion, the barstools that are saddles. Yes, saddles.
In my younger years, I was quite the equestrian so I hopped on like any cowgirl and ordered a cold beverage.
The atmosphere makes you want to stay all night long to enjoy the country music playing and the people. I was even able to meet some nice folks from Altoona, PA, but I was soon off my saddle and headed back downstairs for dinner.
Now onto the food, which was one of best meals and services we had on the entire trip.
The special of buffalo steak topped with an oyster and sweet potatoes with blue cheese was sadly sold out so I opted for filet mignon and my mother settled for a rib eye.
You can see the deliciousness in the photos: simply amazing. I was able to get the sweet potatoes with blue cheese from the special with my order.
We could not pass up dessert so my mom, sister and I ordered the flour-less chocolate cake and my grandma got the strawberry rhubarb upside down cake.
The Million Dollar Cowboy Steakhouse is a little pricey but well worth it on your next visit to Jackson, Wyoming.
This was just one stop we made in Jackson, Wyoming. You could definitely spend more time in this town visiting the shops, rafting the Snake River, climbing the Tetons, and so much more.
Next time you are in town experience the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar and Steakhouse for an experience of a lifetime that you will not forget.
