Been to this place many times. Food was good, service was not. We were told it would be about 50 minutes for the wait and it ended up being 20 minutes and since we weren't there within 5, they booted us off the waitlist and when we came back we had to start from the bottom. Pretty ridiculous and then it was slow and food was not as warm as it typically is. read more

Great food, great service, dislike the upstairs area. The first floor is much nicer. So 5 stars unless I am upstairs and that seems to happen more often than not. read more

The food is amazing and the staff even more so! I've been here for dine in and pick up and each time the staff were incredibly fun, helpful, and patient even when the restaurant was packed. The food was absolutely delicious and well prepared. Well worth the money and a trip! read more

They have a pretty good winter outdoor patio situation now, with heat lamps and access to their delicious food and beer menu. I really enjoy Red Cow and had a lone tear freeze on my cheek when I found out they weren't open this one Monday when I wanted to meet up with some friends I haven't seen in a while. That aside, go eat here, you won't be sorry. read more

This is one of our all-time favorite spots. Great food and awesome beer selection. Their burgers are hard to beat. They also do a great job preparing gluten free food in a way that's safe for severe celiacs. Entire staff is very knowledgeable about allergies and dietary restrictions and they take it seriously. read more

Exceptional menu selection and definitely recommend the chicken wings all varieties of sauces are delicious. Also another favorite for me is the Nashville hot chicken it is sandwich which for some reason was not obvious to me when I ordered it but it was damn good. Minus one star for closing so early. I'd be there more often if you did last call at midnight. read more

Red Cow is full of delicious food and I always have a good experience. I was already a longtime fan but one time this year I mistakenly forgot to mark for a gluten free bun on my online order, they remade it for me without question and wouldn't let me pay for MY mistake. That's incredible customer service. Highly recommend the parmesan truffle fries! read more

Great Scotch eggs and delicious burgers. Friendly service. Pleasant outdoor eating area.

Came here for the first time with a friend who lives in the neighborhood. Food and drinks were delicious! I ordered the Japanese sticky wings to share, and ended up taking most of them home, they were amazing! I also got a salad and a Moscow mule. We got a cozy booth in the back, it was quiet and dim and very easy to carry a conversation and enjoy our meal. I will definitely be back! read more

Our experience with the twin cities has has been nothing but positive. Jaron, our server, was amazing. Nice, helped us pick things, picked some beer samples for us. Above and beyond hospitality, that man's beer knowledge is incredible. Food is great but service is increíble. Will be back when we visit from KC. The food was amazing. Had the cheese curds, onion dip, Barcelona burger, and 60/40 burger. So so so good. read more

Awesome food! And they are so awesome with allergies! The staff is ALWAYS kind! You guys are awesome!!!!

We got there for a early supper and we were able to get seated right away, we chose to sit in there outdoor patio. Wait staff was great. We ordered the Breakfast Burger and Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Wow food was great . Drinks were great . We will be back read more

Great atmosphere and good food! Workers were so kind and personable! I recommend red cow

Checked this place out after looking for a new place to dine. We walked in the same time as another couple and they were greeted and immediately seated. After which we stood there for 5 min while the host was complaining about some lady blaming him for their messed up delayed to go order he carried on and on and was looking up but apparently didn't notice the party of 4 standing there waiting patiently. When he finally did he said "oh! Can I help you?" So I am going to side with the angry patron that we heard so much about. We ordered the Scotch eggs as an appetizer they were delicious and the mustard dipping sauce that came with it was amazing. Hubby got the Manhattan 2.0 with crinkled sweet potato fries. He still hasn't shut up about it. I had a bite and it was amazing and for 17 dollars (not including the fry $ upgrade) it better be. The cranberry chutney was delicious. I had the patty melt as recommended by our server with sweet potato fries. It was good but not the best I appreciated that unlike most patty melts the bread wasn't greasy. My husband also had the handcrafted ginger beer and it was delicious as well. I think my only disappointment was that my 5 year old's kid size ginger ale cost 3.25 while the 5 oz beer I ordered cost 2.50. I am still unsure with how I feel about the MV surcharge they implement. As it was explained to us by the manager it is there instead of raising food prices. They are just outwardly charging you more in plain site versus hiding it in the price of the food but as I mentioned my husbands burger was 17 dollars not including the fry upgrade. We were on vacation so we splurged a bit. read more

Always good food and service. Great burgers and rice bowls! Good beer list too! Sometimes can be crowded around games or concerts.

Have dined at red cow for several years and just getting to review now. The highlights are the crazy unique burgers, apps, and large rotating tap beer and bourbon selection. Ahi tuna crisps, hummus board, puffcorn, and Japanese sticky wings are some of the best apps. Any of the cab burgers are excellent, and they will make them rare upon request and come with excellent fries and unique ketchup and sauces. Expert tip is to split a meal with your partner! This allows you to try more things, abd you often end up with more meal in total and can even accommodate different cooking instructions on the split at no charge (think how you want an egg and burger cooked). Portions cab be fairly large. Have also been here once for brunch. Would recommend the chillaquiles, red flannel, bloody Mary and cold press coffee. Or ask if there is a coffee stout nitro on tap. Great local spot, great to have this gem in the neighborhood instead of costellos. read more

Red Cow St. Paul - Japanese sticky wings, Serrano pepper infused stout, split, and Manhattan 2.0. Get! - Burgers Near Me - St Paul, Minnesota

Just as I move out of the neighborhood, I'll finally review one of my favorite spots. Red Cow is a staple in Cathedral Hill, with really solid items on the menu. The cheese curds are perfection (and this is coming from a Wisconsinite!), the ahi crisps are an ideal summer appetizer, and the double barrel burger is the best damn burger I've possibly ever eaten. Even my veggie friends like coming here, as they have an extensive vegetarian/vegan burger menu! Also highly recommend the Red Cow salad- it's a little Italian inspired fat-heavy salad, lots of nuts, oil, and prosciutto! So, so good. Finally, the truffle-parm fries are not an option, you MUST get them. The perfect amount of truffle, not overpowering, but the flavor is a dream. In my opinion, the brunch here isn't anything too special, I've had a few things and while everything tasted good, it wasn't really anything I'd shout out in a Yelp review. I really have loved living nearby Red Cow and eating there many, many times. If you go during peak hours, there will be a wait, but it's worth it. read more

If you're into minimalist burgers, you've got options. If you're going to splurge on hamburgers, you should choose Red Cow. We shared a Manhattan 2.0. It's the best burger I've had in the Twin Cities in 10+ years. Why even comment on the cocktails, brussels, or service after that? Go! If you need more: The cocktail and craft beer lists are good (4). Some are great choices, like the Cold Brew & Tonic. Just as gin is an acquired taste, this will take a few good sips to acclimate (5). We spied some nice wines too. The pistachio covered brussel sprouts with creme fraiche are an easy five (5). Service was attentive and seamless - we got a fries swap of beer cheese soup (5) but we publicly debated getting a second cup. Server brought one on the house (4.5). Red Cow is top of the heap in a crowded pile of burger entries. Next time: the P-B-J! read more

My family brought me here. They'd been before and talked it up, but I had never been! I was happy they exposed me to Red Cow! To start, we ordered the Surly Beer Cheese and Pulled Pork Poutine! Either I was starving, or they REALLY hit the spot. It was probably a bit of both! They were gooey and flavorful, especially the pulled pork on top. Though, for the diehards, this isn't really poutine. It's fries with cheese and pork on top. Just so you know what you're getting into. For my meal, I ordered the Blended Burger which had mushroom mixed into the burger and it just... wowed me! I have been a bit "over" burgers for awhile. It takes a good burger for me to be happy with it, and this one I really enjoyed. I had the sweet potato fries on the side, I enjoyed them, but they were nothing special. To finish, we had Sticky Toffee Cake, which was apparently new to the menu and it was GOOD. So good, we were a bit surprised by all our first bites. Order this if you go. Overall, a good burger! read more

We usually enjoy Red Cow but this trip was an exception. We ordered through door dash and one of the entrees was missing from the order. Called the restaurant and the manager said we could come pick up the entree ourselves, which negates the reason for door dashing in the first place. The chicken wings did not have much meat on them. And just for the record, wedge salad does not travel well. I'm sure it's great eating IN! read more

The duck legs were fantastic!!! We actually ordered Milk with our meal, our server found that hilarious. We will go back for sure, the burgers looked great. read more

Had burgers delivered and as expected, they were fantastic! As good as sitting down at the bar in the restaurant? Of course not. But the deliciousness that is Red Cow was right there to be tasted. On point! Now if anyone leaves a negative review due to a slightly soggy bottom bun or wilted lettuce, I encourage you to retract it. When having a juicy burger delivered one has to anticipate these things. I'll be ordering delivery again and can't wait to belly up when the times change..... read more

Oh yes! Maiden rock cider is here. Only place I can find it. Yummy! We shared a couple apps and they were very good. The onion rings....mmmmm perfect!!!! Crispy, golden and the sauce is a perfection. Try them. You won't be disappointed read more

Great food. Great service But, why can't a person get an 'Arnie Palmer'??? Red Cow carries 900 different beers and yet i was told they don't have room behind the bar to carry unsweetened tea and lemonade. it has to be the only restaurant in the Twin Cities that you cannot get an Arnie Palmer. Come on Red Cow. read more

The burger salad was phenomenal. I really liked the different beefy flavors and the way the iceberg lettuce sat on top. My server was also quite beefy which I enjoyed. read more

Red Cow St. Paul - Burger Salad - Burgers Near Me - St Paul, Minnesota

I made Easter brunch reservations for my family of 5 for 9AM. It was a special brunch at $23 per person and it was a four course brunch. Unlimited family style serving plates. First course was Wuollet's pecan caramel sticky buns, Greek yogurt, orange-honey fruit with housemade granola. Second course was smoked salmon scramble with dill and creme fraiche, blueberry banana pancakes, and a platter of bacon, sausage, and ham. Third course was an Arugula salad, braised short-ribs, cheesy hash browns, and mushroom ravioli. Fourth course was a giant slice of carrot cake. Also serving up bottomless mimosas, beermosas, and bloody mary's for $13. All of this food - unlimited portions, plus every single plate of food was so decadent and amazing, I was astonished at the low price for all of this great food! What a feast! The wait staff really showed up Easter wise! They were all dressed in pastel button up shirts with professional, stylish ties, some even died their hair in all pastel colors for the event! Did I also mention that everyone who worked here looked like they walked out of a fashion magazine? Whoever the chef was, did such a stellar job on the food - I had zero complaints. To do that great of a job on such a massive scale is very difficult - but they pulled it off and they made it look like it was no sweat! It felt as if they were doing brunch every weekend, but unfortunately, they do not. I told them I would be coming back for sure for other food! I really wish they would do weekend brunches more often or at least once a month! There's a reason why this place booked up fast for reservations - the food, service, and environment was A+ 5 star. I will be coming back again! Thank you to all the staff who pulled this Easter brunch together to make it perfect! Thank you! read more

Round 3 of the search for the best burger in the Twin Cities: the Barcelona Burger. It was only ok. It was cooked to temperature, sizeable patty with a good amount of fat and flavor. However, the manchego took over in a negative way. It tasted musty and almost like a blue cheese instead of manchego. It overpowered the piquillo pepper and prosciutto. I don't even remember the aioli on the burger at all. The star of my night was the Ancho Margarita. Just the right amount of heat without being too hot. Bar service was also great with friendly and fast bartenders. For a Friday night, it was busy but not so busy I couldn't get a seat and quick dinner. I would come back for the drinks but unsure of the food. read more

I don't do 5* often, but sometimes you have a dining experience that leaves you supremely satisfied. Our waiter was attentive and nice. Our food was amazing. Everyone at the table had an amazing time. I just can't be happier right now. I had the Barcelona burger. Cooked perfectly. Fries were perfectly cooked. 1 complaint, I want more of the pepper. That is just my preference. Daughter had the calamari tacos. Mom had the steak Ceasar and the other guy had the burger with pork belly. Everyone was happy. We got the brownie Sunday for dessert..... I'm not a chocolate fan, but hot damn. The ice cream and whipped cream on it were fantastic. The caramel with a touch of salt was amazing. I didn't eat the brownie, but it looked OK. Thanks Red Cow for making one of my vacation meals awesome. read more

If you love burgers, this is a great place to eat. No leftovers-the 5 of use ate it all!

Man, I think this is the best Red Cow location that exists (the Uptown one is a close second). The service was attentive and the food was delicious, per usual, which you can't ask for much more than that! I highly recommend the chips and onion dip for an app. Sounds simple, but they make the chips homemade (they come out warm) and the dip. Award winning, I'm sure. Make sure you sign up for their emails/newsletters because you get a free burger on your birthday! read more

I went here with expectations of having a wonderful juicy burger on a beautiful gluten and dairy free bun,, well , thats not what happened, turns out their gluten free buns are not vegan or dairy free so buyer beware! Most gluten free breads and buns are also dairy free everywhere else except here!!! :-( I had to order my burger with no bun wrapped in lettuce! If I wanted a salad I could have stayed at home and made a salad! Also ordered my burger medium well and it came very rare! eww! Be careful if you order any vegan sandwich or burger as the buns are certainly not vegan or dairy free! I am not vegan but because of my celiac and dairy allergy I like vegan options because they don't contain milk, Other than that , the service (Olivia,waitress)was exceptional with nice atmosphere. read more

Good, unique burger offering. A few spirit-free drinks. I was offered sparkling water instead of plain water, which was different and nice touch. read more

Good Food, Good service, Good Ambiance. I'll keep typing till they allow me to post this review

Enjoyed a great dinner at Red Cow. Delicious turkey burger, outstanding French fries, great customer service and a lovely evening!!!

I am in love with this place. My husband frequents Saint Paul on business and tells me about this place and how it is his fav! I finally had the opportunity to go up with him for fun and I am too in love. The service was great from the greeters at the door to our waiter. They were all friendly and joked around with us, which I appreciate. The food was just as amazing as the service. I loved the unique burgers they had and the different appetizers. I can't wait to go back! read more

Red Cow St. Paul - Burgers Near Me - St Paul, Minnesota

Food: Ahi Tuna Crisps are my number one on this menu... yes it is an appetizer... and YES during happy hour they are half off... so YES you can eat theses as a light entree. :) I do also love their Barcelona burger. It is delightful! Drinks: They always have a nice selection of beer, wines, and cocktails. This visit I had their moscow mule. They brew their own ginger beer which adds a bit extra kick to this cocktail compared to most other places serving the mules. Pros: Unique decor (large cow paintings that I wish had but no idea where I would hang them), they have outdoor seating on the sidewalk (nothing fancy), a very large bar, decent size dining room, and a private upstairs dining area (they sometimes use for overflow seating). Cons: It is usually a wait to get in and they do not take reservations. Experience: I love Red Cow. The service is always top notch and the food is always amazing! Conclusion: Everyone must try this place!! read more

Red Cow St. Paul - View from 2nd floor seating area. - Burgers Near Me - St Paul, Minnesota

Haven't been to the area in nearly 30 years so we tried this place while in town. Highly recommended by a native. I got a breakfast burger and the description - a burger, fried egg, bacon and peanut butter - was simply amazing. Why don't we do this back home? My daughter is a vegetarian and ordered a California burger. She had to verify with our server it was a veggie burger! If you're a die hard carnivore this one could be mind opening. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Good, atmosphere and service were awesome. I would def come back to eat here. Also a great beer selection.

Got two burgers and potato leek bacon soup curbside. An ultimate burger and a basic one. Both burgers had excellent taste and a great crust. All the flavors in the soup came through wonderfully. read more
