We arrived at around 5:50. We had a play to attend at 7:30. Our food did not arrive till 6:50. We had to take it to go in order to make our play. Not only that the chicken that we had was seemingly undercooked because it was very chewy. The salad came in a very small portion. Though we did appreciate that there were vegetarian substitutes for each burger. We are disappointed.

Went for trivia night with the family. Incredible food, even for vegans, the veggie burger was fire) and the service excellent. We had a fun family night and highly recommend the Monday night trivia. Definitely will be back on our next DC vacation.

Really good food at very reasonable prices. A few odds & ends that needed to be cleaned up (payment processing issues, wrong side with order, etc.) The jumbo pretzel and cheese was really good, as a picky eater I really like that the burger was build your own and it was tasty and reasonably priced. Fun atmosphere with games and activities.

Wow, what a very pleasant surprise. The cow is a great stop on a Door County adventure for both food and drink. The burger is really one of the better offerings in the area. I ordered a build it yourself with just cheese so I could taste the quality of the meat and seasoning. I found it to be very good, surprisingly on par with the burgers I've had elsewhere and hold in esteem. If you do get a burger here, they have an amazing homemade ranch dressing that pairs beautifully with the meat. I'll be back!

We went here as a family while on vacation and we have nothing but good things to say about this place. The food was excellent and the choice of beers that they offered on tap were excellent. Having a self serve tap was such a unique experience for my wife and I. We’ll definitely being making a trip back here again to check out some of the live music that they have to offer. The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to make sure we all got the most out of our 1st time experience there. We’ll be heading back to hear some live music.
