If it’s great food and an amazing atmosphere you’re after, look no further than Cowboy Jim’s Riverside Restaurant. As the name suggests, the restaurant is located on a river. What the name doesn’t tell you is that the eatery’s grounds are unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
Cowboy Jim’s is nestled on the banks of the Bouie River in the Lone Star community, between the towns of Collins and Prentiss.
There are several different dining areas in Cowboy Jim's, most of which include waterfront views since the restaurant is located between the Bouie River and Horse Shoe Lake.
Each room has a unique vibe and its own story. The Lodge (pictured) was built after Hurricane Katrina, using downed trees found on the property as well as those from neighbors.
Aside from the atmosphere, Cowboy Jim’s is known for its mouthwatering hand cut steaks, which are seasoned with Cowboy Jim’s Seasoning and grilled over a bed of hot pecan wood coals.
Be sure to save room for dessert. The Pecan Pie Bread Pudding is a customer favorite, or if you visit on a Thursday, you can’t go wrong with the (free) homemade ice cream.
On Friday and Saturday nights, meals are accompanied by live entertainment. And it's a real possibility that the entertainment could be provided by Elvis.
Visit Cowboy Jim’s at 186 Highway 35 in Prentiss on Thursdays from 4 pm – 9 pm and on Fridays and Saturdays from 4 pm – 10 pm. For more information, click here. Have you ever dined at this unique restaurant? Tell us what you thought in the comments section.
