Upon the site of an old general store, the Cow Palace was first established in those days. The old building may yet be seen amid later construction, which surrounds the original store edifice. It is reported that in the old days, an honor system was used whereby the weary traveler would help himself to food and drink, and leave his payment for the owner to later pickup at his leisure. All such owners have since faded away. For over 50 years this area has been well known, with the Cow Palace Restaurant & Bar as one of the principal attractions. In later years, many movies were filmed in the area including, The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing, Pray for the Wildcat, Tin Cup, The Postman and Boys on the Side. As a result, the Cow Palace was frequented by John Wayne and many other stars who famous faces now grace the bar.

Piano player on weekend evenings plays jazz/easy listening music. Decor is old cowboy red and dark wood. They have a variety of options on the menu – salads, hamburgers and standard Western fare like Fried chicken and ribs.
