Cowboy Star · Restaurant · San Diego
San Diego's best steakhouse with in-house butchery since 2008
Cowboy Star has run as an independent East Village steakhouse at 640 10th Avenue since 2008, built by founders Jon and Angie Weber with executive chef and partner Victor H. Jimenez. Jimenez trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and has led the kitchen since day one, and that continuity shows: San Diego Magazine has named Cowboy Star the city's best steakhouse every year from 2019 through 2025. An in-house butcher shop sells premium cuts for retail, a sign of how seriously this kitchen takes its beef.
Every steak is cut in-house each morning. The team dry-ages the Cattleman's Cut bone-in ribeye for 35 days to its own specification, concentrating the beef flavor in a way no wet-aged steak can match, and the result is an 18-ounce cut worth its place at the top of the menu. For those who want to
