Came here on a whim and I was blown away. Amazing happy hour menu. Sliders were too die for. Great cocktails and the service was amazing throughout the experience. Pimento Mac and cheese was one of the best sides I have ever had. If I am ever back in Jacksonville this place will 100% be on my list to return too

Cowford Chophouse was such a great experience! The food and drinks were delicious, and our server Misty was amazing & super knowledgeable and made great recommendations. All the staff were friendly, attentive, and really helpful throughout the night. The architecture of the building is beautiful and adds to the whole vibe.

This is my second visit here. Came here last time for my birthday. Be prepared to spend some money. With drinks, appetizers and your meal, our bill for two people was $330. To counter this, this is one of the best steaks I ever had. Everything is delicious, the side dishes are shareable. The onion straws are a good choice and both the asparagus and potato Au Gratin were also a great choice, even the mix drinks were well balanced. The service here is exemplary! Your meal is brought out to every person by a server at the same time and placed in front of you simultaneously. Very classy. The server is always checking and attending to your table. I will definitely be a return guest, but just on special occasions due to the cost. That’s the only reason I gave it 4 stars.

When I tell you that this has been the most extraordinary dining experience we’ve had in years, I’m not exaggerating. We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary on Thursday and I’m a sucker for a good rooftop restaurant so when Cowford popped up on the list I immediately took a look. Very aesthetic, great review, it definitely checked all the boxes and boy did it deliver. From the minute we parked the car and handed the keys over to the valet (which is complimentary) every interaction was enjoyable. Checked in and asked to be seated at the rooftop, ordered drinks and some apps until deciding we were better off sitting indoors for the rest of the night. They organized everything, brought us downstairs, our waiter was beyond sweet, extremely knowledgeable, and helped me order exactly what I wanted. They also gave us a sweet card congratulating us on our anniversary, like an actual handwritten card in an envelope (!) and gave us our choice of dessert on the house. Honestly the attention to detail was exquisite. And honestly I haven’t even touched on the food. We ordered the Cowford rocks which are rockerfeller-style oysters and the tuna tartare. Inside they gave us complimentary bread while we waited. I ordered the filet mignon with lobster and my partner chose the ribeye with shrimp. The sides are for two so we shared the whipped potatoes and asparagus, the portions were huge, we didn’t finish them all. The steaks were so tenders and delicious, his chimichurri sauce was phenomenal I regret not ordering some for myself! And for dessert I really wanted to try the pistachio baked Alaska. It was perfect, the merengue on the outside was to die for! If you’re looking for a wonderful experience surrounded by a great staff and delicious food, Cowford is a must!

I believe reservations are required for this restaurant but its nice because you can just walk in and get seated. It was fairly quiet and service was fast. The Ribeye steak was really good w the whipped potatoes. The risotto wasn't really my thing though. The creme brulee was good but looked as if it wasn't torched too much and didn't have the crunch I'm used to. Coffee flavor wasn't anything special I was expecting some high quality bean flavor. But the cappuccino was still hot and hit the spot w the creme brulee.

This place is hands down a 10 out of 10‼The food is delicious, perfectly seasoned and plated to perfection. The service was absolutely amazing. Very attentive and professional. The atmosphere is beautiful. This place is perfect for celebrating anything special. Birthday, anniversary or just a very special date night. You can’t go wrong here. You see the food coming out and all you can think of is wow and what you’re going to order on your next visit. By the way… this place has a happening happy hour too. Situated downtown around a few blocks from the famous Florida Theater. If you’re going to the theater, do yourself a favor and book here before the show. You will not be disappointed.
