I went here for the first time on a Tuesday night and had a lovely experience. We were greeted as we arrived to the restaurant by a very polite young gentleman. He asked did we want to be seated outside or if we were dining in. We chose to dine in in as it was a little nippy outdoors. He advised a hostess would be right with us. We stood at the hostess stand for a while. She she never came over to seat us. My friend had to say something first. We were then promptly seated. She did however apologize for the wait. Alicia, our waitress came over right away to introduce herself, bring us waters and take our drink order. She was great and had a lot of energy. I ordered the ox tails and because I'm greedy the truffle Mac and cheese. My friends had the brown stewed chicken and the other the jerk salmon. My food was delicious. The portion size was large, the temperature was hot and the taste flavorful. My friend who had the brown stewed chicken loved her food but it was more bone than anything. Alicia showed her manager, he looked at it and quickly asked if she wanted a replacement which she did because like I said it was good. The salmon was good but friend was a little disappointed in the portion size. Overall, I would definitely go back the next time I'm in the area. The music, the people, the drinks and the vibe were all great! read more

Mad Cow Grill - Black plastic tag found in food. Disgusting. - American Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Mad Cow was on my list to visit for quite some time and I finally made it. I arrived around 3:50ish on a Saturday, Mother's Day weekend. I actually made it in time for happy hour which was cool. When I arrived, I was immediately seated. It was a good group of patrons inside. Overall the establishment was well kept, very clean, and they sanitized in between customers. The bar area was clean and they allowed patrons to sit right at the bar. Everyone was socially distanced. All staff members had on masks and some with gloves. They also offer an outdoor patio for seating as well. My waitress was super sweet and attentive. I asked her what did she recommend for drinks and she said the Thirsty Cow Rum Punch. She was correct, it was delicious! I asked her to bring my another one while I waited for my meal. For my meal, I ordered the jerk chicken sandwich with a side of truffle Mac & Cheese and sweet plantains. That meal was DELICIOUS! First and foremost, the jerk chicken sandwich was made with coco bread. My two favorite things! The meat was so tender and flavorful! The mac & cheese was delicious as well. The plantains were superb. They knew exactly how to cook those! I definitely couldn't finish the sides in one sitting but I did eat the entire sandwich! Overall, love this place and I'll be back for sure! I heard happy hour is awesome here too! I'll come see for myself soon! read more

Went to Mad Cow Grill in Laurel, MD yesterday. It was my first time. I got the curry chicken thighs with cabbage. It was little spicy, but good. On Sundays, they serve brunch. It was crowded. They have a bar area. From the front of the resturant, it seems like their dining area is small. They do have extra seating outdoors under a closed tent. Some items are pricey. read more

Always up to try a new place based on Yelp reviews. Was in the area and decided to check out Mad Cow. The food was delicious and the staff, very attentive. I took one star off because the music was super loud and could not hold a conversation very easily. I would definitely go back again though. Other than the music, atmosphere was good...welcoming. Check it out. read more

Looking for a good happy hour spot in the area with good parking options, this is the place to go. I have been here a few times and every time I had a great experience and the food was well prepared. The drinks are also amazing! My faves so far are the Thirsty Cow rum punch, pineapple ginger, and the Black Kitty (I think that's what's it's called but it's made with Hennessy and baby...me and brown liquor don't typically mix but we did that night lol). Same with the food. I love the contemporary/Jamaican twist of the food. They also have a build your own burger starting at $3 during happy hour and that's one of the go to, after the meatball sliders and flatbread. Again, if you're looking for good food and drinks this is definitely the place to try. read more

Came for a late lunch with my littles while my oldest was in the area for a birthday party. No wait and fast service. Our waitress was great and gave my tots 2 of her pens since there weren't any crayon to use with the kids menu. I got the fish tacos (crispy) and burger kids meal for the girls. The tacos were really good and a large portion for the price. The burger looked decent for a kids menu option. I'd come back for brunch or HH to try more. read more

I've come to Mad Cow for happy hour and dinner (still determined to for brunch). I always have a great time and the Moogarita's are something serious. I wasn't a big fan of the Rasta Pasta but my family enjoyed it. I ordered steak, rice and peas and plantain during my last visit. The ox tails were also very tasty as well. It's a bit loud inside but I'm so glad they're expanding. I also visited Black Cow which was AMAZING! read more

Been here a few times now. First time was for a YE event several years back. I wrote about that event contemporaneously but just realized it would never appear on this business's page. Terrific food. Nice vibes. 4.25 stars. Outdoor seating is open and spaced for max Covid safety. One of the cooks was grilling outside adjacent to the open patio since it was such a nice sunny day. Two orders of wings: Sriracha and Jamaican jerk - 12 each for me and my business partner. She ordered a jerk chicken salad which I managed to sneak a sample of with her permission. Drinks were smallish and I had to ask for dipping sauce (which also didn't come with with the usual carrots or celery sticks) for the wings but other than that everything was as normal. The owner is Jamaican so this place is heavily influenced with island indulgence, flavors & seasonings. He used to own a place in College Park called "Unforgettable Flavors", if you're familiar with that. Closed now unfortunately. I really like this place a lot. Laurel is a great location and it sits on the corner and a big strip mall area with a Giant Foods store as an anchor. Lots of parking and lots of good food here. read more

Mad Cow Grill - Jerk wings and Sriracha wings. - American Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Showed up on a Saturday around 1 pm. They were out of at least 8 main menu items. This is unacceptable

The Food was great 10/10 recommend. We ordered the Jerk Chicken Flat Bread sooo spicy very much giving authentic jerk. real caribbean vibes! The service was a tad bit slow, but our server Blue was absolutely great. Very sweet and energetic. She recommended the Curry Chicken Thighs and I was not disappointed! My friends ordered the jerk quesadillas and an american horror story burger-- it was HUGE! Oh! And the banana pudding cake sooo delicious! Our server added complimentary mini hot chocolates which was the perfect way to end the night! Blue was definitely on point with that. The one down side were the plastic cups and no garnishes for the cocktails. Other than that the music choices was great, the vibe was chill/casual and I'd definitely go back again. read more

My family and I visited here last night for my daughter's birthday and I was excited to support since the my last visit was precovid. The appetizers jerk chicken wings were good but cold and curry chicken egg rolls were good. The entrees; whole snapper was ok but lack seasoning and could use a sauce to elevate the flavor. The sides rice and beans was dry and curry cabbage was just ok. My daughter had the oxtails that were just ok. They too lack seasoning. A little disappointed but will try again. read more

Love that they had outdoor seating available on a Saturday afternoon! The drinks are always consistent and strong whenever I've visited. The pineapple ginger and oxtail spring rolls are a MUST TRY! Jerk chicken flatbread was delicious and the perfect amount of spicy. I normally get the Rasta pasta because they have a low carb option available as well, but my friend got it this time (you know I had to have a bite and it did not disappoint). It was my first time getting dessert and the chocolate cake was a perfect way to end the meal. read more

Mad Cow Grill - Jerk Chicken Flatbread, Rasta Pasta, Pineapple Ginger, Rum Punch - American Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Mad Cow is MAD DISRESPECTFUL! Let me start by saying, I've eaten here many times and had mostly good experiences. The place is popular; the food is good and the atmosphere is upbeat and warm. Unfortunately, this is my second bad experience with ordering food to be picked up. The first time, they got my order wrong and when I got home & realized it, they said sorry & offered to remake it if I wanted to come back & pick it up. A reasonable response though not the ideal; I would have prefered refund for she item. I declined & took the L. This time, I ordered through Grubhub, hoping there would be no misinterpretation with an electronic order. I ordered two roti without peas and a side of sweet plantains. Simple, straight forward & hopefully easy to fill. I was willing to take a long ride to get it because roti is hard to find in the sticks where I live. I placed my order at 4:50 PM and arrived at the restaurant at 5:38 after getting a notice from the app that my order was ready. They handed my son a stapled bag when he asked for the order. Fortunately, given my previous experience, I checked the order. In the stapled paper bag was a single side of plantain. I went back in, hangry and irritated and was met by a gentleman who, as soon as I put the bag on the counter said "you ordered the plantain?" That told me that he knew that the order was missing the primary food. He was apoligitic but offered no resolution. He then got his manager - that's where things went from bad to worse. This woman was rude, unapologetic, and behaved like I was bothering her. She said the roti was discontinued and acted like the app was at fault. I said, in my frustration, there is no damn reason that I was not called and told you didn't have the item. She then said "if you're going to curse I'm not going to be able to help you." (Meanwhile there is a song playing over the loud speaker with much worse language.) As if they could just keep my money and brush me off. The poor gentleman who originally helped me looked mortified at the way she was behaving and when she walked away, gave me a number to the manager. The rude mismanager came back and gave me another number and then really lost her mind and looked at my child and said "your son looks like he's ready to go." Downright disgusting. You can see my reviews, I rarely give a bad review but this was insult to injury. They didn't call to say they couldn't fulfill the order, they handed my son a stapled bag with only the side item in it (basically trying to get over), then when confronted with the problem, the lead staff was rude and dismissive. I've supported this business since they opened their doors, in part because I am a strong supporter of locally owned, Black owned, small businesses; especially those with quality products. But I will think more than twice before patronizing them again. A damn shame. read more

This place be jumping on a Sunday! Unfortunately, I was not able to enjoy the live DJ outdoors because of space restrictions but there were a lot of people outside enjoying the music. This restaurant does not take reservations (and the waitlist option from yelp wasn't working when I went) so be prepared to wait to get a table. Personally, my wait was one hour so I frequented the Marshalls nearby. On to the food - I ordered the oxtail which comes with rice and peas + plantains. The food came out quickly which was a shock, but thankfully it was still hot and fresh. I loved all the flavors and the oxtail was very tender and yummy. The rice and peas paired nicely with the oxtail as well as the plantains. Drinks - The rum punch is on the stronger side and if you don't like bananas, this is not the drink for you. I'm not sure if there are actually bananas in it, but there was some type of banana flavor that I tasted. The sangria was a good replacement. Be mindful of the Sunday brunch hours because they do close at 4pm. I would def return on a day that is less busy. read more

I can't believe that I've lived in this area for 7 months and didn't realize this gem of a place was just a short drive from me. I came in on Saturday just looking to have a quick lunch. I arrived around 1pm. The place wasn't busy at all and I opted for a seat at the bar, which had plenty of room. The bartender, Paula, immediately greeted me. She was super nice. I started off with one of my usuals, Don Julio and soda. After I ordered that I saw the drink menu and figured I should have ordered a drink from there because the drinks sounded yummy, but there's always next time. For my meal, I went with the grilled jerk chicken and a side of truffle Mac and cheese. Omg. The food was so good. I was getting full, but I kept eating because it was just so good lol. My family is from Barbados and I have visited Jamaica four times now. So I know good Jamaican food. Everything was on point. I even initially asked for gravy for my rice and didn't even realize that it wasn't given to me. Paula came over a few minutes after I had already started eating to let me know that the kitchen forgot it and if I still wanted it. I let her know that it was not needed. The food was perfect just how it was. I even loved the cabbage, and cabbage isn't usually something I'd write home about. I even met the nicest couple while sitting at the bar. This will be my new go-to spot. I hear the happy hour is great, so I can't wait to try it. read more

Came on a late Saturday afternoon after playing golf. We were immediately seated, there wasn't a large crowd here. PLENTY of indoor space, but we choose to sit outdoors, which still wasn't very crowded. It took a while for a waiter to come to our table and he only came back once after our food was delivered. I was so thirsty lol I had been waiting for a water refill for about 30 mins. I ordered the Shrimp wrap. The waiter said it came with a side, so I took a look and ordered the Mac n cheese. The shrimp wrap was good and the mac and cheese was VERY hot and delicious. When I got the bill, I saw the Mac was an extra $5. My friend said her side was also added as an extra and not apart of the "included entrée" as the waiter had made it seem that those entrees came with a side. I also had some kind of pineapple/ginger juice - that was refreshing. Music was a mix of dancehall, pop, country - a lil bit of everything. I've never been here and was excited to see was the hype was all about but there was no hype for me. read more

I'll try to be fair and honest about my experience. The food was just average. My BF and I shared a ceasar salad and shrimp and grits. The salad was pretty standard as salads go. The seasoning on the shrimp and grits was ok but could be flavored a little better. I'm partial to coarse grits with texture (think Anson Mill), and these were more fine but seemed clumpy. It was served with a biscuit that quite frankly seemed to have been sitting out all day as it was hard as a rock. I had to drink water to soften it when I but into it. I was shocked that our drinks were served in plastic Solo type cups. I hope this is not the norm and maybe they had unexpected problems with this dishwasher. Seems like such waste. The menus were nothing more than photocopies of a typed up menu. The server was pleasant. Average service at best. I had a margarita that was tasty. I was extremely disappointed with the entire experience given the total on the bill. About $70 for the two of us! For a Sunday afternoon, I was also shocked by the music. Think the unedited version of My Neck, My Back blaring like we were in a club at 1am! I'm not offended by the music, but there is a time and a place. That's wild to me. For lots of reasons, I wouldn't go back to Mad Cow. read more

Food is generally very good. Came in today, Saturday for lunch w my sons and our food has taken forever, the music is loud and it's cold in here. It's tough anymore to teach common courtesies....but our server was lovely and knew the menu well. This place is for the socializer who needs a lot going on at once to enjoy themselves. I can't dine in here. Maybe take out once in a while. After our order it took about an hour to get our food and it wasn't that crowded in there when we arrived. read more

Asked how do they cook their steak and they said "well done because of how thin it is"... ok well they weren't lying, this steak nearly killed me as it had the consistency of leather maybe because they literally place it on the grill and don't move it for 20 minutes when it's half an inch thick (the picture is the backside that doesn't touch the grill), mind you the drinks were flat so we wanted new drinks which to no surprise the waitress disappeared for 20 minutes so they expected us to attempt to chew and gnaw on the driest steak known to man with no drinks? The one saving grace I thought I'd have would be the fries and WOW, I don't know how to mess up fries but they found a way. There's more but it's not worth mentioning, the food alone is worth -5 stars I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

Mad Cow Grill - Carne asada - American Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

The wife and I like coming here. The food never lets us down and the drinks are good. It feels more like a fusion or "modern version of" restaurant. The vibe is young and the music and to the entire restaurant experience. The times the wife and I came, we always had a good waiter. They all are very personable and shared great recommendations. In the past I ordered The Breaking Bad Burger. By recommendation of the waiter, I added pepper sauce. It made a really good burger, better. The wife did get Black Cake while we were leaving. She said it was ok. This latest visit was carry out. I ordered rasta pasta with chicken. I enjoyed it, but I was looking for more than one protein as I'm used to at different places. An addition of shrimp would have been . For the establishment, consider different take out containers. Although I appreciate the recyclable paper/heavy stock paper container, by the time I arrived home, the steam from my food made the container soft and almost flimsy. Not a big problem. I put a hard plate underneath and went to town. The portion was great because it was enough for two sittings. Sure to this, I refrigerated the second half to take to work for lunch. Remember the paper container. When the rasta pasta sauce cooked down and solidified, it tore the container paper while I tried to scoop it in a smaller traveling and work-safe container. It's not that the spoon your the paper, it was the combo of the container that was softened from the heat of the food and the food cooling off in the refrigerator. FYI, either transfer the food as soon as you get home, or transfer to a different container before refrigerating. Simple fix and not a problem next time. This doesn't take away from the taste of the food or the restaurant. read more

Mad Cow Grill - Wild Jerk Salmon - American Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

I have been to Mad Cow a couple of times, and for different occasions!! This is a spacious restaurant right off of Route 1, and the Caribbean vibes are present, but not dominating. That's not necessarily a bad thing though, but don't go in thinking you'll see flags and everyone will be speaking with an accent. So, as soon as you go into the place, you immediately take it in the large restaurant, but the layout is awesome. It can get crowded, but it'll never feel tight. There are tables of multiple sizes for various party sizes, and I've found the staff to be super friendly and helpful. Now, for the food... I shared several appetizers with people that I thoroughly enjoyed, but more recently I got to experience the brunch. What a BLAST. There are some awesome options like $15 bottomless mimosas, chicken & red velvet waffles, curried thighs, and shrimp and grits! I was recommended to try the chicken & waffles, and that was an easy win. The waffles were a little dark for red velvet, but it was the perfect balance of crispness and fluffiness for me. The Sriracha honey really set it off too!! Needless to say, I forgot about this place, honestly .. but I need to go back more often and try their other dishes. I hope they continue to do well! read more

I kept hearing things about this place so I stopped into Mad Cow Grill for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised. the food is Amazing. I'm a lover of a Caribbean food and I found a new spot to get my Caribbean fix!!! Kerri - Ann was our beautiful server. I told her it was my first time and she ran down all the notable selections. She was very patient and didn't rush us. I started with the Brussels sprouts and they were delicious. The jerk wings were also yum! I was blown away by the taste of the braised ox tails !!! The rice and peas and the plantains were delicious! I ordered the pineapple juice alcoholic drink and I wasn't a fan. I also felt the restaurant had a weird smell (maybe the cleaning products) so I took off a star. I look forward to coming back for brunch. read more

After seeing and hearing so much about the food, I stopped by today with friends to grab dinner and drinks.

Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He did not waste time and made sure our orders were right. He checked on us frequently and even made attempts to customize our drinks when asked. We started with the Jerk Chicken Flatbread, Caramelized Onion with Apple Flatbread, and Lamb Sliders that were delicious. For our mains we ordered the Jerk Salad with Blackened Salmon and Oxtails that were cooked to perfection. This food definitely did not disappoint.

I have head many people talk about this place and decided to try them out with some yelp friends. This place is located in Laurel shopping center with the Giant but closer to the route 1 side. We made it in time to opt for happy hour and of course I was going to take advantage of the deals. I ordered the jerk quesadillas and Brussel sprouts and that pretty much filled me up for the evening. The portions are pretty decent. For drinks, I pretty much stayed in the rum punch lane. Drinks were pretty strong. Can't complain. I did order one drink off of the happy hour menu and I could taste the alcohol so the waitress brought me a shot. I sipped it and it tasted like rubbing alcohol. I know it was bottom shelf but added it to my drink anyway. Lol On the way out, my boyfriend decided to get some cakes Togo. He ordered the carrot cake and their strawberry crunch cake. When we got home, we checked the bag and saw that we got their Hennessy cake. I didn't like it. Too strong for my taste. Didn't even bother to call up there about the mistake because we weren't driving back to get it corrected. So for that I had to deduct another star. read more

Well, I'm hungry again. So, we found this place. It's stormy outside so we are sitting inside, which is great. The menu has so many beautiful items on it, which makes it hard to choose.

Mad Cow Grill - Seated area - American Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

**Note: Did not get food, review due to process** After seeing such great reviews of Mad Cow on social media, I was excited to get take out with my work team. I was going to call to submit my order but the automated system said to order online. Their website points you to chownow. I created the order and hit submit, nothing happened. Hit submit again - and was told I had submitted an order already and to wait to submit another one. So.. this is where Mad Cow comes in... I immediately called and told the woman I wasn't sure if my order went through and needed an estimate to pick up. She stated she thought her coworker got the order and asked what was ordered, quoting 45-50 minutes for pick up. I arrived at 50 minutes - and my order was no where to be found. The only offering was to write down the order and wait 30 minutes for it to be ready. By this point it was after 1pm, so we passed on that. There seems to be some efficiency issues as well - when you place an online order, you need to state what system you ordered with and what your name is - did not appear that they put names on the completed orders, had to look at the order on a tablet to figure out which bag of food you got. There is a large parking lot with plenty of spots available and there was a nice buzz in the restaurant. read more

This is my second time visiting this restaurant. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They were busy but service was good. They had a DJ and the music was entertaining.

It tasted like a regular beef burger. read more

Mad Cow Grill - Oxtail burger - American Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

A nice spot to chill solo, for a date, or casual link up. The vibes is relaxed with audible music low enough to have a conversation. The indoor and outdoor seating decor and options are nice. However, not much of a view outside located at a strip mall. The service was nice and despite being semi-crowded the wait staff was attentive. The option of settling the bill through a third-party site is very convenient and user friendly. Literally just scan and go. Now on to the food. I'm definitely picky about what consists Caribbean cuisine in MD since many places lack the island flavor. This place does not. From my first sip of the Rum Punch I knew the food was going to be litty. It had all the fruit flavors of the punch and the kick from the rum. That drink meant business and if you have more than one "Call di Uber Call di now". The menu has plenty of tasty options. I settled for the jerk ribs, rice and peas, curry cabbage, and truffle mac and cheese. The plating was nice and portions were decent. The jerk ribs looked like 1/2 rack were seasoned well with jerk flavor in every bite. It was spicy and not that sweet tangy jerk flavor most places use. My only gripe is the ribs weren't tender enough or falling the bone. The rice and peas were tasty and I liked the jasmine rice as grain of choice. The curry cabbage was different and I liked it. They were soft and well seasoned with curry. The truffle mac and cheese was a nice addition with some creaminess and a tiny cheese pull. I couldn't identify what it was but it was spicy. Maybe it was it was a combination of all the food and drink but I was outside sweating like dudes being questioned on first 48. All in all great ambiance, service, and dining which gives you an authentic taste of the islands. Definitely give this spot a try. read more

First time there today with my husband and son and it was so great. We loved the waitress Alicia, she was warm and personable. We ordered the oxtails entree, the Vegan stew, and a build your own burger. Our son's burger was mediocre BUT the oxtail AND Stew were out of this world delicious. We were not expecting that unique of a menu and were pleasantly surprised. There are definitely more things on the menu that we can't wait to try. Will be coming back again someday soon. I do have to give one recommendation for change...they played cursing music which I could have lived without but nonetheless it was an overall great experience. read more

We were craving jerk chicken and I did not feel like making it. I've been hearing that Mad Cow was great so we decided to give it a try. We called ahead and got take out. The front staff was very professional and friendly! Unfortunately the banana pudding cake was all out and I got the sweet potato cheesecake instead which was good. The jerk chicken was a bit over cooked but I would try it again in house instead of carry out. My daughter said the strawberry crunch cake was very dry. The place was extremely busy and my meal had potential. I would go one more time to see if it's an improvement if we decide to eat there. read more
