Cowboy Club’s current online menu lists items but omits prices, so only approximate ranges are available from delivery menus and older linked menus.

 

Starters and small plates

  • Cactus Fries and other appetizers (pretzel, cornbread, chorizo dip, chili) typically run around the low‑teens on recent third‑party menus.
  • Expect most starters to land roughly in the 10–15 range per plate.

Burgers and sandwiches

Older but still representative pricing for the burger section:

  • Basic burgers (Club Cheese, Cowboy Classic, Bacon & Bleu): about 10.50–12.00.
  • Bison and “Kobe‑style” burgers: roughly 12.50–15.00.

Current menus and delivery pricing suggest most burgers and sandwiches now fall in the mid‑teens once price updates and sides are factored in.

 

Main entrées

From historic and aggregated menus:

  • Smoked Baby Back Ribs (half/full rack), Campfire Bison Meatloaf, Braised Beef Pot Roast, and Chuckwagon Chicken: generally high‑20s or just under.
  • Elk Loin Chops, Prime Skirt Steak, and Ribeye steaks: usually high‑20s to mid‑30s depending on cut and portion.

In practice, plan on about 25–35 for most full entrées.

Sides, desserts, and drinks

  • Sides (fries, charro beans, coleslaw, Brussels sprouts, mash, side salad) tend to be in the mid‑single‑digits.
  • Desserts (carrot cake, crème brûlée, churros, skillet cookie) usually price in the high‑single‑ to low‑teens.
  • Cocktails and margaritas at similar Sedona venues typically run about 12–18 each, with draft beers lower and wines varying by label; Cowboy Club’s drink list is comparable.

For planning, a typical visit with a starter to share, a main, and one drink will usually land around 40–55 per adult before tax and tip.

Cowboy Club’s most popular items are the cactus fries, rattlesnake sausage, bison dishes, elk chops, and a few burgers and salads that show up constantly in reviews.

If you tell me whether you’d rather lean into the “wild game” side or just want a good burger and appetizer, I can suggest 2–3 specific Cowboy Club orders tailored to you.
