Our entire experience at Bowdie’s was amazing. The service was superb and they all made my parents 50th wedding anniversary feel very special. The food was amazing, everything from the seafood tower to the steak. I can’t express enough gratitude for the amazing time we had.

We were Bowdies regulars for a long time. The service and quality slipped, but after about a year we wanted to try it again. It was surprisingly back to the old Bowdies we love. The server was fantastic, still takes a while to get your entries, but the quality was great. I like to see they are changing up their menu a bit. It has been stale for a while but seems to be being updated regularly. Will go back for sure.

The food was a 1/10. Steak was bland, mushrooms bland, ceaser salad was like eating a dirty sock. I’ve never been more disappointed in a high end restaurant. The waitress was very good and checked in often! But save your money and go to the chophouse.
