Customer Reviews
The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. However, it was a bit salty. If you'd like a lower-sodium meal, please let us know when ordering. The staff were also very friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant.
My husband and I were traveling north and looking for a place to have a late lunch when we came across this spot. We were pleasantly surprised and ended up enjoying a great meal. We were seated right away, the outdoor seating area was spacious, and the bathrooms were very clean. Overall, a really good experience.
We have eaten at the BlueCow many times. Food choices have been anywhere from a steak, burgers (steak burger) to chicken, mussels and fish. We've never had a bad meal! They have delicious cocktails and wine and the atmosphere is very comfortable! Staff always treats us with respect and are friendly. Wish we had some place like this closer to home.
Can’t say enough great things about this gem. I’ve eaten here at least 20 times in my life and consider myself fortunate every time I get to go back. This time it was for a pesto sort of mini-pizza starter, a lovely and perfectly cooked 4 oz filet, a summer special perch dish, affogato (espresso & vanilla gelato) and a treat worthy individual chocolate truffle. Service was great, food was incredibly well-prepared and even beyond that the menu looked amazing as always. They were fairly busy which I loved to see but a reminder to make a reservation for weekend evenings. Can’t wait to return soon (but not soon enough!).
I’ve not eaten at the restaurant in person but have been fortunate enough to be a part of two dinners catered by them. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. Absolute favorite is the peanut butter pie - best I’ve ever had.
