Every Montanan knows there’s nothing better than good old-fashioned country home cooking — except good old-fashioned country home cooking you don’t have to prepare yourself. There’s a beloved little eatery in Somers called Cowboy Up that does just that, and when you visit, you’ll love both the food and the atmosphere.

Cowboy Up opened in July of 2014, just in time for Independence Day.
