I've been to Blue Cow on many occasions, and have never had anything less than fantastic experiences. The staff is friendly and positive. The setting is casual and comfortable. The food is AWESOME. Sandwiches are excellent. Soups are delightful. Other sides are terrific. I've never had anything but a delicious meal here, and I honestly think you can't go wrong with anything you order here. read more

Great sandwiches and amazing service from this deli. Friendly staff and plenty of seating. Great spot for lunch

Visited November 21st..see my receipt as always. After driving into Penn Valley this morning I needed coffee! I got a cappuccino and it was probably one of the strongest I have had in a long time! Wow..now totally awake! Lol It's a cute place with indoor and outside seating. Rustic decor which is fitting for Penn Valley vibe. They have breakfast...lunch.. And take out. They were super busy which is a good sign! Soups looked really good as well. Nice menu with plenty of options. Beer and wine available. Must stop off highway 20 in Penn Valley! read more

The food was amazing. Service was very pleasant and helpful answering all our questions. The inside was charming and inviting. We decided to sit outside before the heat set in. Will make the trip again from Sacramento to eat here. read more

Excellent sandwiches!!! We will definitely be back. I highly recommend The Notorious F.I.G!!!

It's the best lunch deli in the grass valley /Penn Valley area. First, try the paninis (all are good/delicious) and then all the salads are fantastic! I love the berry iced tea they serve, too : it's different than a regular iced tea or whatnot. There's a great indoor atmosphere, and some outdoor seating also. Fun to get it To go & then head to River @ Bridgeport! Super kind folks run this place : check it out. read more

Blue Cow Deli - The South Yuba ( covered bridge area ) is down Pleasant Valley Rd, a few minutes away from the Blue Cow Deli ! - Delis Near Me - Penn Valley, California

The home cooked banana cream pie was delicious. Adding a large chocolate milkshake to your entrée for only $3.99 is the best bargain this side of the Mississippi. The milkshake is delivered in a metal container with that long spoon which was like when I was a teenager 60 years ago. This is not even talking about the best chicken in the state. Add to this cornbread, choice of home-cooked soup or salad along with a baked potato or fries - wow you can't beat this place. read more

The food is awesome. Great variety The staff is very happy and love their jobs. Easy access in and out. Handicap access Patio tables. We really enjoy the tables and very sturdy chairs. Total country farm decor. Not tacky at all. If anything minimal but very tasteful. In fact we all have our own favorites we order alot. Order for pick up is our favorite way to go. read more

Hands down the best sandwiches in our greater area. Have had multiple sandwiches and they were all phenomenal

Love this local deli. The food is always tasty with plenty of options and the staff are all so nice.

Excellent sandwich, we got the chipotle chicken which was my aunt's choice, I'm not super huge on chipotle mayo but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. They use high-quality ingredients, they are very popular because I think we waited at least half an hour for our sandwiches to be made but that's not their fault, they are just busy because they are loved. We got the Panini so it was sort of an average sized sandwich but if you get like a regular sandwich? People were getting basically two sandwiches, we kept looking at everyone's plates, that all look delicious by the way, and noticing that instead of taking one sandwich and splitting it in half they just made two small sandwiches which means sharing at this place is ideal. Price point was appropriate for what you get, but like the bacon was thick strips not thin crappy cheap bacon, all the produce seemed very fresh, the meat seemed high-quality and the bread, they toast and butter it and you can even see the grill marks. Again, we got a Panini so that makes sense but the flavor was super on point. Sadly I live very far from this place but I'm always looking for really good restaurants in towns I have to visit from time to time, and grass Valley/Penn Valley is an area I go to at least once a month, I do recommend going in a coach early to avoid that perfect noon lunch rush but definitely give them a try. Parking is a little bit tight so if you can, park in the parking lot just across the way, and seating can be a bit limited depending on how busy they are. Chips don't come with the sandwich so just take note that if you want chips, it's an extra like three bucks or something. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and as long as weather permits I think you're solid no matter where you end up finding a spot, it's very basic seating, the insides quaint and cute but it's not formal, it's just a great place in the country for high-quality sandwiches! They also have sweets for those with a sweet tooth so save room. read more

Blue Cow Deli - Chicken gumbo - Delis Near Me - Penn Valley, California

This place is awesome!! It was my first time here and was happy to see vegetarian (and can be made vegan) options. I brought my own bread (special dietary restriction) and asked if they'd be able to it for my sandwich. They did have gluten free bread but were happy to use my bread which not all restaurants are open to and it was so kind and so much easier than getting a sandwich and transferring all the ingredients to my own bread. They were so so kind and fun to talk to, telling my friends and i about the town as we aren't from the area. The sandwich was delicious even after a 2 hour hike in 90 degree weather!!!! 10/10 read more

I have enjoyed several of the Blue Cow's offerings. Probably top on the list is their Chicken Asian salad. Their dressing is amazing. Being an indoor/ outdoor restaurant makes it available to me when I have my dog with me. They have a broad list of offerings. read more

- the waitress was oblivious to the customers and wearing short shorts all the way up her ass- bending over bussing tables with zero self awareness that she was embarrassing herself- it's the middle of winter and this teenager is walking around in summer clothes looking around to see who is watching her Thanks for the ambience and shitty service read more

Great spot for a French Corral sandwich. The Elderberry Hibiscus ice tea is also tasty.

We are so grateful to have such a wonderful deli in our area! The quality and flavor of the food is excellent no matter what I order - sandwich, soup or salad. There is good variety in all categories. The service is always friendly and efficient. I usually get carry out, but the atmosphere is comfortable and quirky - fun to dine in as well. read more

Great sandwich loved the soup can't wait to go back friendly staff fun background music

The parking is tight so if you have big vehicles your warned Not handicap friendly Lots of clean tables inside out side needs so Loven for persons to chose to enjoy Rueben was very greasy maybe too much cheap butter was used who knows but it made my stomach upset The meat was thinly sliced and nice taste, one thin slice of Swiss cheese and maybe one tablespoon of sauerkraut needs more the sauce on it was" ok " but not standard for a Reuben for me My husband Loved the chicken Pesto and he stated it was juicy and very tasty... he finished it ALL and that says a lot!! The sandwich comes on a. Tin rectangular plate brown cut paper and nothing else Service was kind and with smiles We got one pay drink and water it came to about $30... Wow too much for small press sandwiches??? There was nothing fancy about the bread these sandwiches were basic/ simple... so we will not be spreading any word on this place read more
