    We just flew into town and checked into the Four Seasons and we were hungry. Word on the street is that this place has one of the best cheese curds in Minneapolis. And it's true! We ordered some drinks, the curds, and a veggie burger. The cheese curds are oddly lighter than you'd expect and come with ranch an and a triple berry ketchup which is an amazing condiment with the curds. We had a big dinner reservation so we went lighter with the veggie burger. I was not expecting the veggie burger to be as amazing as it was. The double bean and cashew patty was very well seasoned and with a great texture. The smoked aioli really helped round it out. Our server was extremely sweet and took very good care of us. The selection of beer and wine was y nice. The restaurant itself is very clean and well lit. I was surprised this place wasn't fuller during lunch. All in all, I'd definitely return.

    Double Barrel Burger

    Red Cow is a must try restaurant in Minneapolis. The double barrel is their signature burger and it's one of the best burgers I've had. I even had the airport location and it was stellar. Don't be afraid to try it due to it being at the airport. The staff is great and it's very clean. I was extremely happy!

    Yup, I know it's in the middle of the Minneapolis Saint Paul Airport's Terminal 3, but this place is an upgrade from most airport offerings. The key is that they have a pair of places under one heading. Red Cow is a terrific burger shop and Holy Land has GREAT Mediterranean options. Located across from Gate E5, there is plenty of table and bench seating, and you scan to get a look at the menu. I ordered their Gyro plate and I enjoyed it, a tasty combination of yellow seasoned rice with gyro meat and tzatziki sauce. And my server, Hanna, was awesome with excellent menu knowledge and superb customer service.

    Grilled cheese and tomato soup!

    This is in the middle of MSP, but since I wasn't in town long enough to make it to the real one it was worth a try! I was not disappointed with the tomato soup and grilled cheese and it really hit the spot. The BBQ chips are actually inside the grilled cheese which made it an interesting bit of crunchy and somewhat unusual. The tomato soup was also quite delicious. Service was quick and the pricing was comparable to everything else. Highly recommended if you're looking for food in the airport.

    The airport version of Red Cow was tempting, as our MN visit was short and we couldn't make it to the local spots in the twin cities . We felt we could satisfy our burger craving at the airport location ! Well it didn't come anywhere close . The ambience was quite nice and the menu a condensed version of the city restaurant . All we ordered was The Double Barrel Burger with a side of Parmesan Truffle fries . While waiting for the food we had to witness an altercation between the bartender and a wait staff , about a drink order and who was right or wrong and one blamed the other that seemed uncalled amidst customers . The burger was cooked not sure if was meant to be medium or medium well as we were not asked how we wanted it . It was served the way they wanted it as we couldn't make out. No specific flavors stood out . Patty was Chewy inside a Soggy bun. The fries were fine with the Parmesan and truffle flavors, with a dipping aioli which was also quite good . We were in and out in 15 minutes which was good for time but also shows how not so great the food was as we didn't really enjoy it like the real deal Red Cow burger . If keeping up with their restaurant quality is challenge at the airport they shouldn't charge almost the same price or maybe little more than their restaurant.

    Very good burger! I had the 60/40... real meat!! In an airport... what a blessing. I would recommend you stop here as long as you have at least 40min to eat. Would have given 5stars but the cost of airport food and the extra time it took to get the food was the downfall (btw they were not busy). I will go back!

    02/16/2021 - French toast $10 w/ side sausage $3.50
    Anita C.

    (5th review of 2021) I had a 4 1/2 hr layover & kinda had time to kill. What to do, what to do. Hmmm... I need a beer, food, & cheap entertainment to pass the time. When I got there there were only a handfull of people inside. I got there a lil before 7am & they open at 6am. I sat at the bar in the corner & noticed there were several chairs separating 2 seats at a time at the bar. They only allow 2 in each area at the bar. There's a seat w/ a sign for social distancing. They also have several tables blocked off, but if you have a big group you can sit at one of the big tables. I sat down & asked the bartender, Molly, for a menu. Molly is quick witted & super funny! She will definitely keep you entertained. She has a wicked sense of humor too. Entertainment, check. I looked over the menu & before I could order anything Molly named off several items that they didn't have available. Aww shucks! There were all the items that I wanted. Ok well then, I'll get the $10 french toast & added sausages (about $3-$4 addon). It's an airport, so I expected the price to be a bit high. The food was simple yet good. I also got the Belching Beaver Milk Stout Nitro beer. There was a bunch more people that came & went over the time I was there. Unfortunately Molly seemed to be the only waitress/bartender on staff. There was an older gentleman that was helping, but it seemed he was more of a busboy? Maybe? Not sure tho. Molly was running all over the place trying to tend to everyone at the bar & at the tables all over the restaurant. Being on that side of the bar, I was wondering why there weren't at least another waitress there to help her cause she was BUSY! I was in no rush so I wasn't worried. There were other people there that were waiting for their flights & we got to talkin. Go back? Heck yeah!! Jus for the entertainment from Molly! That's a no brainer. Hopefully the next time I can get one of the burgers cause I saw plenty people order em. Go try em out & tell Molly I say hi. A Hui Hou!!

    A nearly finished Blues Burger....SO GOOD!
    Kathy P.

    Clean, efficient, great staff and great burgers. The Blues Burger is awesome and I'm not even a blue cheese fan. The apricot, rosemary pepper jam is yummy! We will be back!

    Really good burger for airport food. I was impressed!
    Andy R.

    The place was mobbed but we found three open stool seats. The server was very patient and helpful. I would totally lose my shiznit dealing with fussy travelers all day, but she was calm and friendly. Bravo, Red Cow staff! The burger was surprisingly good for airport food. Better than a downtown burger. Veggies were fresh, bun was tasty, and good fries! Well done Red Cow, a good burger basket, you betcha!

    It's really gotten tough to get a good meal at MSP what with the airport officials kicking out all the true local purveyors and replacing them with pseudo-local (at least locally branded) spots run by big food service conglomerates like Aramark or Marriott. The vast majority of places are shallow representations of their original outposts. All that said, despite the very limited selection, the ultimate burgers we had here were pretty good and hit the spot. The fries aren't the ones at the city places but they gave us a lot and there's not really any atmosphere but it's still worth the short walk down the very quiet E concourse if you just gotta have a juicy indulgent burger before heading out.

    Came into Red Cow one morning to wolf down some breakfast before my flight home. Ordered the hash browns, bacon and eggs (over easy). Took a little while for the food to arrive - they were pretty busy. Food was hot and tasty. #RedCow

    Four Daughter's Loon Juice honey crisp apple cider
    I-Lin L.

    Got lunch here while waiting for my United flight to Chicago. I was surprised to find two menus--one for the burger part, and the other for the Middle Eastern part. I settled on the best of both worlds by ordering a Four Daughter's Loon Juice honey crisp apple cider and a Greek salad with chicken. Was happy to try a Minnesota cider. It was sweet and refreshing. The salad was massive and came with cheese, olives, pita bread, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, red onion, banana peppers, hummus, and a tangy yogurt sauce. The chicken was seasoned with a curry type of spice and very flavorful. We sat at the bar looking out to the walkway, and it made for some great people-watching, I was pleasantly surprised to find plenty of outlets under the table, so that was great to charge my phone. Good and fairly fast service and tasty food made this a decent place for lunch at the airport.

    Everything bagel burger

    Decor made me second guess this place that was recommended for brunch but food did not disappoint. Bagel burger was good. Complimentary bowl of warm donuts was even better. Felt like a nightclub cleaned up for breakfast so tables and chairs were awkward but good spot for brunch when in downtown Minneapolis.

Seeing the size of the portions, we decided to split the Piri Piri Chopped Pork sandwich with Mac n cheese and beans as our sides. It was more than enough food. The sandwich was delicious. Tender pulled pork with a bit of spice on a fresh sesame seed bun. Loved the beans. A little bit of pork fat gave them a great flavor. Husband is the Mac n cheese fan and he loved that as well. My bite was super cheesy. Lots of local beers to choose from. I found a nice hoppy one to try. Love the names but I always forget them. Service was great. You order with a QR code. Food came out quickly. We did have a server visit our table to answer questions and bring us anything needed after our initial order. He was great with giving us some recommendations. The restaurant charges a flat 20% service fee (so no tipping). Parking was a bit of an adventure as there seemed to be a lot of apartment parking on the streets and the lot was pretty small but we found a spot a block-ish away. Great stop!

I honestly can't say a single bad thing about the food and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was excellent. They don't take reservations, so coming during off-peak times may be a good idea. We were promptly taken to our seats, and once settled, our server explained how to use the QR code for ordering and filled our water glasses right away. There were lots of fun drink options to choose from, and the food truly exceeded expectations. Such a great overall experience!
