Came here with friends to try the wings. If what you are looking for is a sports bar with decent food - good selection of beer - and the game, then this is the place. Not a fancy place by any means. We all ordered the wings and they were pretty meaty which is what the place is known for. My lack of a full five star was for the service. Waitress was friendly but the food took a long time which was surprising because for a sat night, it wasn't super busy. Also had to hunt her down on refills :/ I hear the burgers are good, so will give those a try next time.

They're wings are awesome I would give them a solid five stars if it wasn't for their blue cheese, I can understand cutting corners but you pride yourself on wings and then you give people watered down blue cheese disgusting runny gross. And it's been all the time lately, thought they ran out the first time, so get their wings to go and by your own blue cheese! FIX YOUR BLUE CHEESE PLEASE
(3)Stephanie A.
Wow! 2 hostesses rolling silverware while we waited over 20 minutes for a beer. We usually go to the Cogburns on Power Rd and that will be the only one we go to from now on. Their wings and service run circles around the Val Vista location.

We went here for the first time tonight because I was looking for a place to catch sports highlights and grab some food. The beer selection was good and we had wings and fries which were fresh cut and good. I should also note that their ranch dressing is also excellent (it's dumb, but I think it's the little things that count). The bartender was quick and cheerful and we wound up meeting the owner who was also a pretty cool guy. All-in-all this is a great local spot that goes out of their way to accommodate their clients. I'll happily go here again and suggest you do the same.

Went In for lunch today. Fish and chips special was good, not great. Tried the wings and they were really good!

This is the second time we've been to Cogburns and there have been open seats/booths and were told it would be a wait. Well, tonight we were told we could hang out in the bar area and just "Wait" for something to open.... Completely disappointed and not at all professional. Now I still have them two stars, because we've been there more then this, overall, the service Isn't horrible and the food is actually pretty good. I'm just hoping their hostess staff could get it together and been more Helpful and inviting. There aren't a lot of joints like this where we live, and we do go out of our way for Cogburns, I just hope this doesn't happen a third time...
(2)Becky S.
I went to Cogburns on Power and Ray roads The service was VERY SLOW, food was not hot when we got it. Chicken wings were not the best. TV'S were way to loud. If you go and plan on using salt and pepper shakers bring plenty of hand sanitizer they were so dirty that your hand stuck to them. Management was hanging around just like they were a customer with no clue of what was going on. I don't think I will be back.
(1)Maureen H.
Service has been hit and miss, but you can tell there's been a change. The servers were hustling and very attentive. Food was good too!
(4)Shawn K.
If you drink a certain alcoholic beverage all your life you know what it should taste like!! Two times now we have gone to Cogburns for drinks and they didn't taste right. We spoke to the waitress and told her this doesn't taste like absolute, she said "I have never seen anyone pour anything else in the absolute bottle"! Really that's your first thought? No proof but there alcohol does not taste like what should be in the bottle and you still get charged for what it should be! Pretty sure this is illegal!! It's to bad because we can walk there from our house. Owner your responsible!! Please stop this!! Had to give a star rating but I tried to give zero for them being shady! I guess after reading all the bad reviews I haves wasted my time posting! The owner obviously doesn't care because nothing has changed!!
(1)Kelley M.
Love this food, best burger I have ever had, we also had wings, outstanding and reasonable prices. ...
(5)Lola S.
the thing about this place is that it could be that local bar you love but the attitudes from the staff are peculiar. At best they are annoying. They never know the specials, the dont know how to create a fun experience. The food is good but over-priced. I'd drive a little further and be satisfied than spend more money at this place. SKIP IT!
(2)R I.
We weren't there with the family for some wings. It was really loud. Hard to spend quality time with the family. The wings were great. We tried four different sauces. You can taste the homemade in them very good. Even the fries were good. I thought the staff was good. One of the "investors" stopped by to make sure we were doing good. Next time I am leaving the kids at home.

Really terrible customer service Walked up with a friend on a "busy" Saturday night (no wait at the door, but no open tables). The 3 hostesses stood there staring at us - no "Hi", no "Welcome to Cogburns"... nothing. I said "hi, there's 2 of us" and she said "We're full. You can check outside". That was my first clue on their bad service. We ended up sitting outside, under their misters which spewed so much water that we literally had to drag our heavy table to the other end of the patio because our hair, clothes, and even our menus were getting soaked. The waitress watched us dragging our table and didn't offer to help or even comment on the situation. She checked on us during our stay a fair amount until the end of the night came. We sat with empty glasses and plates for almost 20 minutes before she came by to see if we wanted anything else. Then it took another 10 minutes to bring the bill (the place was empty by this point in the night). Then, after waiting 10 minutes with our credit cards on the table, I had to take them inside myself to try and find the waitress. Aaaaand where did I find her? Just inside the door talking to a friend loudly about a relationship issue she was having. She looked at me like I was being rude asking her to run my credit card. My note to the owners of Cogburns: talk to your young staff members about the importance of customer service. Decent food will only get you so far. There are several other bars I'm the East Valley with equal or better food quality with customer service that surpasses what your staff is offering. The 2nd star was given for the wings. They were nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The raspberry chipotle sauce was tasty.
(2)Cory M.
5 stars for the food because the wings were awesome and they have a decent selection of brews on tap. Anyone who's been to Tucson and know Wings over Broadway would agree that it's hard to find anything that can compare but I think Cogburns is close. 1 star for service. I hate to outright bash service but the girls here were dumb as rocks and had no personality. It was really disappointing. Seems to be the trend..... Good food, bad service I have to imagine as a newer place the service will get better so I will be back!
(4)Gordon B I.
2nd time here in a row for the UFC fights. Sitting on the patio with 3 girls working, and not a single one asks if they can get me a drink in almost 2 hours. I'm use to a $100 bar bill when I go watch the fights, but now I just drink before I come and don't have to worry about them taking any of my money.
(1)PJ G.
Good food, great patio, wings are awesome. We live close by and this is a great neighborhood bar. Doesnt have that "chain" bar feel like native or buffalo wild. Just a great local hangout. Lots of beer on tap and friendly and knowledgable bartenders.
(5)Josh D.
BAD BAD BAD!!! Need I honestly say more?? Bad service and bad wings!! What else would I go for?!?!? Wings taste like the Kroger brand hot sauce. Do yourself a favor and go to Native New Yorker.
(1)Kate H.
This place gets one big MEH. The food was okay, but it was just food.

I took my wife and two children here last night after soccer practice to grab a bite to eat. We were greeted immediately and seated right away, even though they appeared to be super busy with the NCAA Tourney on TV. Then we sat.....and sat....and sat. Finally, a server came over to take our drink orders. My wife asked if they had a beer list and was told "no." Then she asked what was on tap. The response: 22 different beers. No elaboration. My wife had to get up, walk towards the bar to see the tap handles, and then back to the table to put in her order. We also asked for an order of mozzarella sticks to hold the kids over until our meals came. Then we sat some more...probably another 15 minutes or so before she came back to take our meal order. After 40 minutes of waiting for the mozzerella sticks, I flagged down our server and politely asked if there was any sign of those mozzerella sticks. She snapped back at me "the kitchen is slammed, they are backed up with orders, and they'll be out as soon as they're ready." Then she walked away. Shortly after, two kitchen servers came out with our entrees. No mozzarella sticks. I doubt our server ever went to actually check on them. Who knows...maybe she forgot to put the order in altogether. Regardless, no apology from anyone regarding the blunder. It's too bad the service here stinks, because the food was great! I had an assortment of wings which were meaty and sauced perfectly, and the garlic parmesean was fantastic! Way better than Native New Yorker IMO. My wife had the Southwestern Burger and fries which were also very good, and the kids had the Pony Burger and the mini corndogs. They both cleaned their plates, so that says something right there. We might go back and give this place a second chance with a different server. But based on the negative reviews on service already, and the scowels I saw on other servers' faces, I'm not holding my breath that it will be any better. Tip to the owner: Hiring hot girls certainly adds an element of eye candy to your establishment, but if they can't do the job, people will eventually stop paying you to see what they can get for free on the web. Just sayin'.
(2)Tidge M.
Great service, great looking girls, great selection. ENOUGH SAID. Me and my wife come here all the time and always recommend it. Check out their wings, they are the best!!!!
(5)Lukas C.
This place is horrible...I just love their Nachos & Big A$$ wings. This is a must go, at least once to see how good it is. I said it was horrible earlier because it can't be good on the diet...oh well, everyone gets a cheat day.
(5)RillaAnn J.
My boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere new to watch the UFC fight we were unaware that Payton's place closed an reopened as "cogburns". So we decided to check it out... Let me just start out by saying that Ashley was the only saving grace. The bartenders were very unknowledgeable and lack personality. My boyfriend always drinks margaritas on the rocks no salt. They girl that took our order did not make his drink which made me think she didn't know how... When he got it, it had salt and so she remade it.... The 2nd one came and it was made with grapefruit juice... And the part that kills me is that she knew she had used grapefruit and still served it! So now upon getting his 3rd drink... We grabbed a table in the dining area since the asu game was on the big tv... Still kept getting margs made with grapefruit, wings were ok... I dont think waste my money here...

Stopped into Cogburn's for their New Years Eve party and to see our friends band play for the night. The services wasn't bad at the beginning of the night, and the wings were great. As the night went on the service got worse and several of the servers seemed to getting drunk with one ending up spilling champagne on us and the people next to us. When we cashed out, we got one bill with the correct charge on it, later to find out by checking our online banking that we were charged TWICE, once for the correct amount and then a second time for a much larger incorrect amount. Friends of our that were there the same night had the same issue of being double and over charged and even had items on their bills that they didn't order. We called in about our double charge and were told it was a mistake and the transaction was voided for us, but it is still unresolved and hasn't been refunded. Our friend on the other hand was not told it was voided or a mistake for their incorrect charges. Shady business, wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You can get great wings without the hassle elsewhere.
(1)Alice Y.
I really like this place. Nothing crazy but it's a local bar for sure. We come here a few times a month and I've always left happy. My friends in the East Valley come here for pizza and wings all the time so whenever I visit, this is where we end up. They always have consistent food and drink specials and tons of sports on tv. My girlfriends and I gravitate towards the touchtunes throughout the night and dance (nothing close to a night club but the music is loud and we have fun!) The food is good, dollar bills on the walls, country/rock vibe, and a nice patio with no smoking.. but too far from my home. Maybe they will open one closer to Phoenix.
(4)Ben C.
This is a great place for wings. Its a great place to watch a game. The servers are always friendly. If I go to a sports bar, I wanna see and hear sports. I don't wanna hear country music all the time. Its been awhile since I've heard their awesome sound system during a big game. I'm not a big UFC guy, but I love traditional sports. This place is fun, but has potential for even more.
(4)Kristin P.
I finally reached my last straw with this place. A few weekends ago there was a crowd there that the staff was obviously not happy about sitting at the bar (which is completely normal at ANY bar)! It was midnight.. that means dealing with drunk people. As a business, you are not always going to like your customers or want them to stay there all night, but punishing the customers there that were not apart of that group is downright wrong. Instead of kicking out the trouble makers, they decided to shut the entire bar down early. Sorry, that's just not how you operate a business. Good luck to them trying to run a bar like that.
(1)David F.
Real chicken wings!!?! After eating fitty cent wings that don't taste like chicken these wings this place gives me hope. The wings taste like chicken and they make their own sauces.
(5)Lily L.
I missed Payton's place. The service for Cogburns isn't as good at all. Seems to me like wings recipe has changed also. I understand the food price has gone up so they have to keep up with the price which I don't mind paying a little extra for good wings. But the hot wings aren't nearly as hot anymore. Thursday wings price is only good for dine-in only.

So.. I was skeptical because the reviews on here aren't so nice. But I promised myself that from now on, when I have a good experience, I'd talk about it. We decided to get some takeout tonight. Since I just got the coupon Cogburns sent out in that coupon pack in the mail, we figured we'd try them out. Pretty much the only way it's going to happen since our three girls aren't exactly thrilled to hang out at what is basically a bar. Called it in and the girl was super nice. I ordered 10 hot wings, 10 mild with light sauce, an order of the french fries, extra ranch and a dr. pepper. My husband picked it up and reports that not one, but 3 people talked with him to make sure he was being taken care of (better than Buffalo Bills Wild Wings btw.. where you can wait about an hour for takeout and people ignore you). So not only did they not forget the soda (which most every restaurant DOES when you ask for one for takeout), but they remember the extra ranch and that one was supposed to be light sauce. The wings themselves were a bit spicier than I like. Not their fault, I'm just a wimp. The wings were meaty and flavorful. Maybe a bit saltier than needed. I should have ordered bbq. I'm just such a wimp when it comes to spice. My hubby says his wings were delicious, he likes spicy! The fries were very very good! I'm not normally a huge fan of those 'fresh cut" style fries, but these were tasty. They put a couple tubs of ketchup in with the fries, so it wasn't cold ketchup, which I appreciate. Nothing like using cold ketchup on hot food. But the thing I love is that I didn't eat any of the fries until I'd finished my wings and while they weren't hot, they were still darned good. Not soggy, or hard at all. Still mildly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. So all in all, when we're craving wings we'll be back. I don't normally write reviews.. it's hard to find time. But this place has been skewered with bad reviews lately, and I wanted to throw my experience is there as a positive review, for both the food and the service. Trying to support the local places..
(4)Toni B.
Went to Cogburns last night for wings and I would say they have improved from our initial visit. Garlic Parmesan wings are our favorite. They seemed to be relatively busy but no wait (it was a Thursday night). My only complaint would be it is a little loud with the TV volume competing with the music volume. :)
(4)Brandon O.
So... Sunday night, and decided that I could not live with out boneless buffalo wings. Since Cogburns ( formerly Payton's Place) is in the hood; why not stop by. Walked through the door and all of three people there. None of them employee's. Waited with my family about 7 minutes until a patron feels bad and try's to give me a menu and seat me. Respectfully, I decline and started to the door. As I opened the door to leave, two employees, one male the other female, come from the kitchen looking at me surprised as if not expecting to work that night. As they pleaded for my family and I to return, all I could think about is how "not" busy in the kitchen they were while preparing no ones food. Just saying'! Since opening night the service in this place sucked. Can't say anything about the food because I was never able to get any!
(1)diane g.
Just had a late lunch and a beer today. Food was very very good! Wings and burger and fries were delish! Waitress acted like it was her first day. Maybe it was? KNOW YOUR BEERS if you're a server, study the menu or write it down and put it in your pocket! All in all we will go back for the food!
(4)Alan H.
This review is being written after several visits at various times. This is a fair place for grabbing a bite to eat. There are definite areas that can be improved upon. The reviews here at yelp are like a roller coaster. There is somewhat of a theme "western with Sexy Cowgirls"; but then there is I want to be a biker bar twist. I like the "Sexy Cowgirl and the owner should focus on that theme. The girls like to visit "the regulars", not the new Customers, they get lost in conversation and seem upset because they have to serve someone else besides their regular Customer (who knows that person could become a regular customer).The owner does this to, he'll walk right by new Customer's to talk to regulars and not even as much as a quick stop to say hi and see if everything was good. This place with some tweaks with the menu and product and the overall attitude of the staff this place could be an awesome destination for the many potential new Customers. Changed the name of the place, dressed the staff different but left a few crumbs on the table that if taken care of could be a good destination for a nice burger and/or wings. And of course an exlir of your choosing.

Yelp filtered my last review, not sure why. My review is legit. Go to filtered reviews to get my take on Cogburn's.
(4)Amy M.
My husband had been there a couple of time for wings and we decided to go there the other night. They were not busy at all, a few people in the bar. Our waitress was friendly enough, although maybe a bit shy. Waitresses are usually better and sell more when they are a bit more outgoing. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with onion rings as a side and was less than impressed. I literally had 6 onion rings (the frozen kind, not fresh) and after each of my kids decided to help themselves to one, I had a huge void on my plate! The sandwich was underseasoned (the meat did not seem to even have been salted) and was so loaded with gritty cheddar cheese that it was difficult to eat. My advise...ditch the chedder and put on a nice white cheese like provelone. The peppers also did not have any flavor. We ordered some chicken fingers for the kids and I had a bite (since I only ate less than half of my sandwich) and let me say, I'm suprised my kid was eating them...they tasted like flour. I also tried one of my husbands wings (he had hot BBQ) and they were not bad. The hand cut fries were also good, although a tad soggy. If you are going to hand cut fries, why not make homemade onion rings too??? Considering that an order of onion rings was $7.50 on the appitizer menu, I would not have expected grocery store frozen rings! We each also ordered a bloody mary and again...not good. The only spice was tabascco, no celery or other flavors at all. Again my advise...don't use regular tomato juice, use a good mix like Zing Zang. All the spices are already in it and all you have to do is add vodka, a splash of tobascco and garnish! The waitress asked if I wanted a box for the other half of my sandwich and I wrinkled my nose and said no. To bad she didn't ask why I didn't want to take it home.
(2)Blake T.
Took the advice of another reviewer and ordered the rasberry chipolte wings which were really tasty...sounds like a variety of their wings are good. And yes, the bartenders laziness and lack of personality was a real downer. It's not good to be sarcastic when someone in your group orders water, then to wait for menu's to only be told they would have been brought to us, not true. May go back sometime and try other wings but isn't urgent on my list.
(3)Frank C.
I went to Cogburns because my friend recommend it. The place was previously called Paytons place. Its newly remodeled, its appearance has improved. However the staff could use a little improvement in friendliness I walked pass 2 waitresses on my way to the bar and did not receive so much as a smile or a hello. My friend and I sat at the bar for a good 10 minutes before the female bartender took our drink order and they were not busy. We would later order some food which consisted of hot wings and a quesadilla. The food arrive rather quickly which puzzled me since my quesdilla was burned and black under neath. Some of the hot wings were also burnt. Food was mediocre, I dont really expect much from bar food except the food is fresh and not over cooked. Honestly the hot wings at Native New Yorker are better. Honestly I would not recommend this restaurant and probally will not return. Theres other bars with better food and value.
(2)D M.
yummy food and great people!!
(5)Stacey T.
If your looking for a place that when you walk in your most definitely going to see a familiar face or two and have great conversation with either the staff or someone you met there before then this is the place to be. I absolutely love the turkado sandwich with their onion rings crispy or some hot honeymustard wings!! I make it a point to stop by at least once a week mainly Tuesday's for their buy one shot get one for a dollar or Thursday's for their 40 cent wings. All in all its a good place with good food cold beer and a great atmosphere. What more could you ask for? Give this place a chance and I bet you will love it like I do!!
(4)Christine S.
I will actually never return to this location again. Second bad experience here, but this one was worse & before we even got a chance to sit down. We were on a waiting list and since there was no where to sit, we decided to wait outside. An employee (we'll call her l.m., since those were the initials on her hat), finished with her shift came outside and started calling a cab. She was obviously annoyed with him because when she got off the phone, she proceeded to call him a mother f*&$@&. A patron she apparently was friendly with went to talk to her and she used the term again to tell her story about the cab driver. We moved away so we didn't have to hear her language. (Had our 4 year old with us). He asked her to come inside and when she walked by us, she used the f":$@ word again. I said "hey, come on." And pointed to my daughter and instead of actually apologizing, gave me a back handed response. This was what she said, "I'm sorry, I work at a bar, I don't cater to families and kids." i told her, "they have a kids menu which makes it a family restaurant." Her response, "I'm sorry you're so offended, but I'm off work and I don't have kids, so I don't need to watch my mouth". My husband said to her that since she's still wearing the uniform, then she's still on the clock. I went inside and told the hostess to cancel our table since this young lady walking by doesn't care to watch her mouth. The original girl, says to me that she's actually a manager and I laugh and say really? ! I can't believe that you're a manager! She insists that she's already apologized , we had a few more words and when I walked out, she yells, "wow!" I said, "yes, I was thinking the exact same thing! "
(1)Gary G.
The absolute worst service ever! Asked for the manager, got the owner, he looked drunk, disheveled and disinterested! Our server messed up the wing order and the wrap order. Our server was emptying ash trays on to the street. Gross place unless your only in the mood to get drunk.
(1)Hailey P.
The food is generally good and they have a nice selection of wing sauces however; we were there yesterday and the girl who is normally the bar tender well I'm just not sure what she was wearing; her tank top sat completely below her bra showing well showing it all; might as well have not worn the tank top at all; I'm uncomfortable being there myself let alone with kids
(3)Kelly G.
Fun atmosphere, not so sure it's for kids, waitresses are dressed in a fun way but again prob not best for kids. Wings are amazing!
(4)Rob H.
We came here because we heard the wing's were really good. I don't think I agree. We asked what was the most popular and ordered that. The honey hot were just ok, somewhat flavorful but not great. The garlic parm were better. The medium were mild at best, we got a side of hot and that was better. On the bright side, the fries were very good. Overall I think there are better places if you want wings.
(3)Mike R.
Gone are the days when Football Sunday brings good service with good food. I spent my entire 2014 football Sundays at this location. On the first day this year the service was bad. Waited 30 mins in the bar for a blood Mary. I wanted.to order breakfast and 15 mins later still no help. So I got up paid and left. Either the manager needs to hire competent bar tenders or get the junior league bartenders out. The service is what made me average a $60 dollar tab every Sunday.
(1)Tiffany T.
I typically go to 'The Burn' to play Golden Tee and have a beer. They have Dos Equis on tap, an okay GT location and it's 2.5 seconds from home. I've tried the food a couple times over the past year or so and have always been sadly disappointed. I don't expect stellar cuisine from a place that prides itself on having the best collection of ghetto fabulous bras strung over a poor dead moose head hanging over the bar, but whatever... All that being said, I am truly astounded to report that I had a really good burger last night! Seriously! It was a Thursday night, so the place was packed with people watching football and I really didn't have high hopes but was hungry and took a chance. We ordered the mushroom swiss burger and a wrap of some sort with fries and coleslaw. The burger was great! Seasoned and cooked well, fresh lettuce, large slice of tomato and red onion. The fries were hot and also seasoned well. Coleslaw was actually really good... Bartender/server was fantastic! Need to get her name next time. Anyway, might be a fluke but I'm willing to give the food another chance and maybe you should too! But if it doesn't go well, sorry. Chewable pepto works wonders!

I have to support this place too - I have no idea why it has so many bad reviews (and reviewers with few reviews). I for one was positively surprised when I was here to have a few brews before I went bowling. The waitress staff was nice and effective. I have no complaints about them at all. The prices here are decent I must say, as the should based upon the location. if I lived closer I would come here more often for sure. I smelled the wings, and the smelled very tasty - but I didn't have any because I was on my detox and therefore wings was not on my diet. I will have to try them next time though. For sure. Sure this place isn't classy, but that has clearly never been the intention. It is not a dive per se, but a bar.. just a bar that have some decent wings.. and decent priced beer. That is what I was looking for and that was what I got. Don't listen to one review haters... come check Cogburns out.
(4)Chris M.
This place is off the hook staff is very friendly the food was outstanding atmosphere was great as well highly recommend this place
(5)James F.
Went to this place to try to find a new watering hole. Our bartender was not inviting. It seemed like only the regulars received hospitality. She seemed to be in a very important conversation with the "Local Biker Boys". We received our check, and there were charges on there that we didn't make. On top of everything, I left my sunglasses there. I called and talked to a waitress, and she said that she would put them up for me, so that I could get them. When I went back, they couldn't find them. They must've gave them to one of the regulars. I would give this place a 0 star rating, but that was not an option. Save your money and go to somewhere else worth while. I've been to dive bars with better service.
(1)Julie L.
Great food, especially the wings, they are amazing. Katie our server was awesome, couldn't have asked for better service. We will definitely be back.
(5)Elroy F.
Went for Thursday lunch. 40 cent wings. Tried BBQ honey. Medium buffalo and garlic parmesean. All three were very tasty and done to crispy perfection. Katie pur waiter was great! Will definitely go back.

Went to try place for first time with family to watch Baylor game. Hostess walked us by four open booths and two tables to try to sit us in the corner on a four top table. I explained that I really want to watch the Baylor game and my family would be more comfortable at one of the open booths. The hostess the said " well, the waitresses are seated in a rotation." Implying she has to seat the next waitress section. I understand the server rotation working in restraunts most of my younger days, but if a family wanted a specific area they are usually sat there and the rotation can be adjusted. So I straight up said, " well, we don't want to sit here." Pointing at the table shes trying to sit us at. I showed her the TVs the Baylor game was on, so then she says, "how bout if I sit you guys over there," pointing at another table which is smaller with only a view of one TV with the Baylor game on and where the table was at it would be like watching a movie from the front row, except instead of a movie screen its a 40 inch TV 8' above. Basically the worse view of a TV that you could honestly pick. I was not in the mood to have a discussion over just getting a table because I was already very annoyed. So I looked at my kids and said "let's go.". I understand if the place was full then you get what you get, but there were so many open booths and other tables. If I can't get basic customer service when trying to ask for a certain area (with open tables) to watch a game I don't even want to see how the rest of the service is. By looking at the reviews of this place on yelp I am not surprised at all. Next time I will go to blu 32, uncle bears, tailgater's, zipps, chili's or native new yorker which are all your competitors in your area and I will never step on your place again.

Food & Service is awful. They even charge for ice. We went with a group of people & my husband never got his carrots or ranch.

Since we weren't impressed with service or food during last visit about seven months ag, we were hesitant to try again with my daughter and her husband. I'm glad we gave Cogburn's another try. The food was much better and the service (thank you Ariana) was great! My daughter likes their hot wings, we ordered a cheese pizza to start. It was okay. I ordered the onion rings and a shrimp dish. I really enjoyed both the onion rings and the shrimp dish! Just a note the shrimp dish, is a bit spicy. Ariana was a great waitress, beers were always full, she remained attentive to our table. She had a great sense of humor, even after we ordered multiple items from the menu! She was nice enough to sign our son's cast and take pictures with him and the rest of the Cogburn's girls!

One afternoon I tried to order some food for pick up and waited 45 minutes for someone to take my order, I just hung up. I live next door and I know they are never busy. This place has the worst customer service. I hope the food is good ha.

Food is great but horrible service all around. I came with my mom and we sat at the bar. It took them 10 minutes to even notice we were there. After she brought us our drinks (which one was Incorrect and I had to wave her down a hundred times) she went back to the bar and didn't bother to ask if we wanted to eat. She came back with the new drink 5 minutes later and was about to walk away until I said can we order? I orded an appetizer and after we finished the appetizer I waited a little to see if she was going to refill our drinks but she didn't I had to go and get her. So finally my mom got up and asked for a different server and so they got us another in which was rude as well. We will never come back here again.

After furniture shopping all day we decided to stop in to try something new. It was more disappointing than the shopping. This place boasts about the biggest "Wings". Disappointment doesn't even begin to describe these. I'm pretty sure they opened a bag of frozen Great Value Brand & served us. Albertsons Deli serves better wings!! The Cajun chicken salad was just as bad. I think the cook (can't call him/her a chef) marinated the chicken in salt. I spit it out in my napkin. Service was ok but the show is pretty much what you go for.as the hubby said its strip club atmosphere at a sports bar. Don't care what's going on around the game just want good food & this is defiantly not the place.

Sports bars are my thing I have my favorites but tonight I met some friends here.... We were there to watch the UFC fight so just about every table was packed but they need to plan for that cause in the 2 hours I was there I only seen the waitress 3 times. Our table was about to leave without paying cause the fight was over and still waiting for our waitress to come to our table. Rewind........My friends were sitting upstairs and had already ate some food so I didnt get a chance to taste before I ordered my own. I ordered 15 wings that were not too pricey and I ordered them "HOT" when the wings came I want to say that they were "Honey BBQ" or maybe "Honey HOT" def not a hot sauce. I have learned never send food back on a busy night.....use your imagination. I ate cause I was hungry, less than 40 mins later my stomach was bubbling like crazy and I need to use the rest room 4 times over the next 10 hours. They must have something in their chicken or old greese but these wings did not agree with me. The TVs there are also some no name brand which is ok if you plan to fill a bar with them but the one we were sitting next to had red spots, sparkles, burn in....it just made my eyes water. This is my first and last trip to this bar, left a bad taste in my mouth and many trips to the bathroom.

My husband and I really like this place. They have a great beer selection for him and I can get my lovely cocktails. The food is great too so we go there for the happy hour and stay for the drinks. Definitely stop by and try it!

Before handing the waitress my card, we went over what my family had. I got my receipt and handed the waitress my card to pay. Then, Random food items got charged to my card. I did bring to their attention that they incorrectly charged my card.They gave acknowledgement this was done with intention. I guess they thought I wouldn't catch it...?wtf!

Truly great wings but slow and spotty service. Some waitresses are great. Others are so bad they must have been hired solely because they are young and look good in shorts. Have been there when they had no napkins and it can take 40 minutes to get a burger. This is why the reviews here are bipolar. One day they earn a 5. The next day a 1. It's like Russian Roulette and it shows in these reviews. Lots of potential but needs better management. They don't do takeout on 40 cent wing day (Thurs) so you are stuck going inside and hoping for a good waitress and adequate staffing. Never go here for lunch if you are on a schedule. You could be in and out in 30 minutes or walking out frustrated in 70. The wings are awesome, though.

Went there for the first time this week. place was packed. Thursday is 40 cent wings and 2.00 dollar landsharks. how do you go wrong with that. Sarina greeted us at the door and got us a table and we were off to drink beer and have some wings. service was good, food was good, drinks were also good. A few too many kids running around for my liking. feel a little like chuckie cheese but wasn't a big deal. wanted to sit in the bar but full of people. I also don't understand the bad reviews. if it sucks so much, why is the placed packed at 9pm on a Thursday night?

Came into this relatively empty place. Had lots of tvs and a good vibe. I sat down and got a beer...that's where it went south. The servers are not pleasant and are very inattentive. I asked how the tacos were ($1 on Tuesdays) and the sever looked at me and said, "they're tacos". Got blue cheese when I asked for ranch. Couldn't beg them for a second beer, had to go up to the bar to get it. Yes, they are pretty servers. I hope you enjoy your $1 tip on a $40 bill beautiful.

Visited 8/3/13 We were hesitant after reviewing several of the review. Quite frankly, the last time we thought about going we changed our minds after we read the reviews. But in a search for chicken wings, we thought we would risk it. We were pleasantly surprise!! The winds came out hot and fresh. They were large and meaty, not fatty. We had three different orders, Parmesan Garlic, Honey Hot, and straight Medium. We also ordered house salads which was a nice change with candied walnuts and apples. I would change to the Balsamic dressing next time. It does seem to be a trend that places are charging more for Ranch Dressing? Small little container and only two came out with a order of three sets of wings. Does Ranch Dressing really cost that much that a chicken wing place cannot supply a nice portion with the wings??? Overall, I we were pleased. Will likely return and hope to get the same fresh order of wings next time.

I am recommending that the TV show "Bar Rescue" visit here immediately!!!! This place has terrible order turn around time and customer service.. It literally took 1.5 hours to get my appetizer order of chicken wings and chicken fingers.. AND it was a to-go order!!! The only reason I stayed and waited was because the playoff football game was on TV.. I hate to give them that compliment. Yes they have TV's there..Once I got the food I asked if it was just made or it had been sitting around, and she said it was fresh... LIE... Cold as hell!!! I threw it in the trash after one bite.. Thanks for taking my money.. I'll never go back. Please don't bother.. Harvey Public House 3 miles North is ten times this place.

Would have been nice to have a drink after an 8 hour shift tonight. Instead I wasted my time going to Cogburns. I arrived at about 12:30am, music was still going strong and there was a little crowd in the bar area. There was no bartender behind the bar cause she was hanging out at a table with friends. I walked in and waited at the bar for a good 10 minutes before someone out of the kitchen came by and said "oh she will be right with you". HA... No one came by for another 5 minutes.. (Horrible Service)... So I walked out. Im not asking for much, just maybe a drink. This wasnt the first time, but surely the last time I go to Cogburns.

So I went to Cogburns last night to have a drink after working to check it out around 10PM. My bar/grill of choice has typically been Native New Yorker, but Cogburns is so close that I wanted to see if this could be a good alternative for watching the UFC fights with my buddies. When u went in the bartender was too preoccupied in her conversation with the one waitress there that I had to sit there for 15 minutes before I was acknowledged. Once acknowledged she apologized because she did not see me...duh you were too busy not paying attention! So I get a draft, finish it up and want to have one more before closing my tab. Once again I sat there with an empty mug for another 10 minutes while I wait for her to finish her obviously intense conversation with her coworker. I think the words customer service do not apply at this place.

I was in on Thursday night and it seemed obvious that once you become a regular you get great service. But, until then good luck. 2 bartenders and 5 customers at 11 pm and I had to walk up to the bar for drinks or to get their attention.

I meet a friend here for a business lunch. Probably not a good location choice. It was poorly lit and the music was rather loud. I felt like I have to talk REALLY loud. We ordered nachos and it arrived to the table dripping in Chili. They were so nasty tasting that neither of us could eat them. This may be a decent place to watch a sports game and grab a drink however it certainly is not a lunch spot!!!

I'm not sure why there are so many bad reviews, especially about the service. A bunch of us went there to see a UFC fight and the placed was packed! There weren't any tables left but their front patio (they have 2 patios, the front one is smoke free) had a lot of space for standing. The waitress saw us standing, took our order, and offered to find us bar stools, as well. She was very attentive and great. Nonetheless, we put our name in for a table inside since we still had a few more friends coming. The hostess informed us that getting a table may not happen but that they will try. Sure enough 30 minutes later a table opened up and we were seated. The outside waitress was amazing and closed us out and transferred us without any problems or attitude. The inside waitress was great, too! She saw that we were a pretty big group and we tend to be somewhat demande, yet fun, so she had a second waitress to wait on us. Our beers never sat empty and the two of them were very very attentive and a lot of fun. And the food was excellent! This place is great and located in a location that needs more of these kinds of places. Please give them a chance if you are in the neighborhood. I can't wait to go back!
