Top steakhouses serving rich, bone-in cowboy ribeye steaks.

If you are a carnivore, you have likely heard the term “cowboy ribeye,” but do you know what it means? Compared to a regular old ribeye, the cowboy is a thicker-cut, usually two to three inches, bone-in instead of boneless, and offers more intense marbling and richer flavor. It’s a truly indulgent piece of meat and a steakhouse favorite. If you are craving one, there are a number of places serving up delicious options at a variety of prices. Here are 5 popular steakhouses serving the best 20-ounce or larger cowboy ribeyes, ranked.

LongHorn

Longhorn Steakhouse

LongHorn is a budget-friendly steakhouse that offers a lot of bang for your buck. The Outlaw Ribeye is a wildly popular and delicious, “big 20 oz. steak” that “doesn’t follow the rules,” states LongHorn. “Our premium, marbled cut of bone-in ribeye is coated with our smoky Char Seasoning and fire-grilled by our Grill Masters to bring out the flavor in every bite.” Diners maintain it is delicious and worth every cent. “Can confirm—the outlaw ribeye slaps hard,” a guest confirms. “I agree, the outlaw at longhorn is very good!” another says.

Texas Roadhouse

Another affordable option is the Bone-In Ribeye from Texas Roadhouse, a 20-oz. cut of their “juicy, flavorful ribeye served on the bone for extra flavor,” the menu reads. It is cooked to your preference and served with a choice of two sides. “I almost always order the ribeye and it’s never disappointed,” one diner said. “I went to Texas Roadhouse back in January for the first time in like 15 years and was blown away by how good it was for the cost. 16oz ribeye, two sides, couple of drinks and got out for $45 with tip,” writes another.
