Some friends and I tried Haywire's viral Cowgirl Dinner after being lassoed in by the Instagram Reels promoting it.

How it works: The $30 special, offered through March 31 for Women's History Month, includes a 5-ounce steak with roasted garlic butter, a Caesar salad, fries and your choice of a dirty or lemon drop martini.

You can select the Cowgirl Dinner while snagging your OpenTable reservation.

Dig in: It's not a white tablecloth splurge, but the steak was flavorful and cooked to a perfect medium rare (for me).

The Caesar was crisp and the fries golden and crunchy.
My lemon drop martini was light and easy to sip, adding a bright citrus note that balanced the plate.
We left full and satisfied, calling it a night by 10pm.

Six-word review: Satisfying mix of savory, creamy, salty.

The bottom line: It's a fun excuse to corral your friends for a night out. And yes, cowboys can order it too.
