I've eaten at the Cowboy Cafe several times. The building has housed a restaurant since 1939, so it is an institution for locals and visitors alike. The selection of homemade pies is outstanding, and they are delicious. If you're looking for a hearty breakfast you need look no further. If you want healthy choices you might want to try something... More

After getting stuck in Dubois with a mechanical problem, we arrived at the Cowboy Cafe just before they closed. But they were more than willing to accomodate the 13 of us. Sat us down with no problem, and served all of us very quickly with absolutely no complaints from the staff. I always feel welcome there, but in this case... More

I have eaten at this café well over fifty times in the four Summers/Autumns I've travelled to Dubois and especially like their grilled chicken sandwiches (which can be customized to order), breakfasts (hint: instead of scrambled eggs, ask for 2 eggs in mini omelette form), and PIES. The amazing variety of pies (e.g., chocolate bourbon pecan, berry, apple, cream pies,... More

Gave this place several shots before I finally gave up. Inconsistent service, dirty tables, occasionally the food is worth the price. Burgers are good. Tried a fish and chips basket which was seriously overpriced at $10 for what amounted to a child's portion, and just fried junk. If you don't care about how long it will take or if you... More

I've never eaten dinner here, but we love to stop in for breakfast before heading up to the mountains to trapse around in the snow! Always a fun atmosphere, with locals or people traveling through Dubois. Definately a great place to stop! They also serve breakfast until 1:30 in the afternoon! Breakfast if the best meal, I think, to get... More

We had the best dinner here, steak was cooked perfectly and tasted so wonderful, flavor great and just melted in our mouths, this is a must have as is the chili, homemade and just the perfect taste, flavor, and amount of zing! Matt was our waiter and was very nice, personable, and gave us that great homey feeling while in... More

The food was so good it was a surprise given the size of the town of Dubois. The service was good. If you are in Dubois, you have to stop here for lunch (and sit outside if it's summer).

have been visitng Dubois since the 90's & the Cowboy Cafe was always a highlight for quality comfort food in a cafe setting. not fancy, but always good. But something has changed. The taste & quality of the food (ate Bkft & Dinner, several times) is just not special anymore. Thankfully the homemade pies are still worth the visit.

We spend our summers in Dubois. Eating at the Cowboy has become a tradition for our whole family. It is my 3 son's favorite restaurant. I love the Bubba with a buffalo burger, sweat potato fries and pies to die for. If they have anything with meringue call me I'll be right there!
