During my visit in Dec 2021-Jan 2022 to my sister who resides in Georgia. She brought me to this restaurant for some much needed sister bonding. The restaurant ambience and decor reminded me of a roadhouse restaurant feel. It is pretty lively. They offer a southern comfort food plus cocktails. They're know for their green fried tomatoes with goat cheese. We definitely ordered this and it was delicious! My sister and I ordered the shrimp and grits, my sister loved it. It was ok for me. I forget the reason I didn't like it. I only recall that it was different than most shrimp and grits. The place is clean. Our server was excellent. We bumped into a friend who was dining there as well. We had a fun time. We would return again. read more

I was pleasantly surprised at this bar in downtown - what a cool find! The yelp reviews were right on point... I enjoyed the ambiance, the service and the food! I had the fried green tomato and goat cheese tower appetizer which was so good. Wasn't expecting the goat cheese to be fried but it was so good! For entree I had the fried grouper sandwich. Large portion size, soft bun, light and delicious fish... yum... just perfect. Would recommend both! If you're looking for a place to go with good food... this is it! read more

Awesome place in Columbus, GA. Went for a family celebration. Great food. Easily handled our large group. Service was quick. Menu has something for all. read more

We stopped here for a work lunch and the food was great! It was a little dark for a mid-day meal, but I imagine that during happy hour or the weekends, it's the perfect setting for some good food and drinks. read more

Had dinner here while in town. Like the atmosphere, as there is a small bar on the right and then tables lining the left and in the back. Good food, friendly staff, and an enjoyable evening. We had a salmon blt, pimento bacon burger, chicken tenders, and chicken and waffles. Everyone enjoyed their meal, with the tenders maybe being a little over done. Will come back when I am in town again. read more

The Black Cow - Chicken and waffle with added egg - American Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Loved the food at this place. The portions were pretty good, too. The place is pretty lively as it's in downtown. The chicken and waffles, which is a southern staple, was pretty good. The shrimp pasta was also good, considering I normally don't eat pasta, but this I would have gobbled..lol.. It had a nice flavor to it.. read more

Food was amazing, our server was even great at our service. There was a little hiccup with sitting us, but nothing the food and ambiance didn't cure. First time in ATL and wanted to try southern food, Black Cow def didn't disappoint! read more

WOW. THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING. The staff were super gracious and sweet in updating us on the status of our table. It was quite the wait as there was a military graduation in town so it was nice to know the updates. While we waited for a table, Abby helped us out at the bar. She took amazing care of us and even made time to talk a little and turns out, we both love everything to do with spicy stuff! Which leads me to myyyy: Bloody Mary Review!!! If any of you follow me and check out my reviews, you'll know I LOVE Bloody Mary's and that I'm on a quest to find the PERFECT Bloody Mary! I had the Mad Cow Mary here and WOW. Not only was the flavor amazing, but the spice? Literally perfect. With habanero organic vodka and a bit of other added spice here and there, this hit the nail on the head. After about 5 sips I was breathing fire and loving every bit of it. If you love spicy Bloody Mary's, this here is the home for them. Abby did an amazing job of taking care of us at her table and we had absolutely ZERO complaints. For appetizer I HIGHLY recommend the BLT dip with pita chips. Very satisfying for an appetizer. Ambiance is great! Pub style and laid back. Go here to make that stomach happy. read more

We shared a yummy dinner at The Black Cow last weekend. We were seated immediately upon arriving and the place remained a buzz our entire time there. Several parties coming in to enjoy dinner. I had a sweet tea to start. My son and I shared the fried okra, chicken and waffle with collards and my bff had the meatloaf with green beans. I'd definitely repeat visit on another trip to town or bring guests here for a casual, tasty and filling dinner if they're in town. Great spot! Friendly service and food came out in a very reasonable time. We snagged a parking spot around the corner. read more

****And the Cow Says Moo!" I didn't eat any cow but the chicken and waffles and Shrimp and Grits were Money! I came here on a business trip and the kids met up with me. The restaurant itself initially appears to be just another bar restaurant. It is not. The food here is very good. The food is also very reasonably priced. The service makes this place all that and a bag of chips. Nothing and I mean Nothing beats real Southern Food and Southern Hospitality. Crispy chicken skins and juicy chicken meat top a perfectly prepared stack of pancakes. I would order this dish again! Grits? Well, it is amazing how grits can be so different depending on who makes them. They do grits right here. Wait, there's more! Absolutely do not forget the collard greens. Overall, I am a fan of this place and then some. read more

I had the shrimp and grit cake and it was OUT OF BOUNDS delicious. The pineapple casserole was delicious. The lobster tots were very good as was the pimento burger. The service was excellent. I loved the ambiance and decor. Rustic with style. The place is small but OMG is it delicious! We are planning to come back tomorrow for lunch to try something else The prices are very reasonable read more

If I could give 6 stars I would. Laurie (spelling?) was an incredible server. Great recommendations, and very fun! We ordered the Goat Cheese & Fried Green Tomato, and mozzarella sticks as appetizers. The tower? Out of this world. Fried goat cheese? Oh yeah. Entrees were the 10oz ribeye (loaded mash & green beans), the salmon steak (green beans & Mac n cheese), and the fried grouper sandwich. The steak was perfect. Cooked exactly as requested. Well seasoned. Delicious. The salmon steak was a tiny bit smaller than expected, but that lemon butter sauce made up for it. The fried grouper sandwich was delicious! read more

Service-So Abby our server was over the top. Her attention to us and making sure beverages were topped off and checking on us during our dining experience was a note in Customer Service. There was a small delay in receiving our food and the staff brought it to our attention and brought a complimentary appetizer to us. Buffalo chicken dip with the best fresh pitas I've ever had!!!! Food-I'm sad I didn't take pictures to share. We had the steak tacos, hamburger steak woth fried green tomatoes and sweet potatoes fries. All I can say is delicious!!! Ambiance-casual dining at it's best. I would highly recommend and we will be back. Thanks for the experience! read more

6/3/2024. First visit Smallish interior with rustic feel, some outdoor seating. Busy but not too loud and not too long of a wait. Fast, friendly and efficient service. Didn't mind questions and if they didn't know, they asked the chef. Started with the Fried Green Tomato and Goat Cheese Tower, intuition said order even tho hubby doesn't like goat cheese. I was correct, it was super delicious and the cheese was mild. It did not overpower the tomatoes. I had a massive Shrimp PoBoy (1/2 went home) that was delicious, reminded me of NewOrleans. Hubby said his Bacon Cheeseburger was perfectly cooked and juicy. read more

The Black Cow - Cheese Burger with fries - American Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

I was in town for business and was told to try this place. I am glad I did. I went right after work and was seated right away. The waitress was very friendly, attentive and she gave recommendations on things to try. The okra seasoned and was fried perfectly. I loved the sauces (including the one the waitress brought out to try, she said it was one she likes to make). The food was seasoned well, the greens were really good. The drinks were also made well and tasty. Great place and I will be back when I am in town. read more

Ok yall, I went in this joint with an appetite and I definitely was satisfied. Ya boy ordered the fried green tomatoes as an app. YA BOY was flabbergasted when he found out these wizards at black cow put a fried piece of goat cheese between each fried tomatoe OH LAWD!! This succulent masterpiece did not last long as I tried to finish it without breathing, no easy task I must say. For the main attraction ya boy ordered the salmon BLT and sweet Jesus indeed. This drippin' sandwich was juicy, flavorful.... Shit, I shed a few tears when I was on my last bite. 8.4/10 fried green tomatoes, 8.1 salmon BLT. Bartender (began with an A) was the best waitress/waiter I've had in the area. Asked for recommendations and she guided me on my question for obesity in way I could never describe. Without her this night out would have been a last cause. Service 10/10 read more

Great food and service was excellent as well! We met up there with family and had a great time. I'd definitely go back.

Great atmosphere, excellent service, well stocked bar and the food was great! I had steak tips, the green beans were sautéed and maybe the best thing on the plate, my wife had the meatloaf which was excellent, it comes with heavy red/tomato sauce so if you don't care for that flavor be warned read more

The meat loaf was pretty tasty, but they didn't heat it up enough. Collards had a good smoky flavor too. Beer on draft was good. I'd give another dish a shot here, but the only thing memorable here for me so far was partly cold meat loaf. read more

Outstanding food, service and friendship! Ok, went to Columbus for a day/night trip for Concert and we researched the BLACK COW!! I wanna go back like right now! Lol. We arrived and was able to be seated right away. From the hostess to our waiter and entire we felted WELCOMED! Our waiter, Clayton didnt hold back, he was very knowledgeable of the menu and shared some amazing recommendations. The restaurant was playing music so the was a nice catch. We order the fried green tomatoes and goat cheese tower as an appetizer and I fried fish-grouper and sweet potato fries. For my drink I ordered the Georgia Peach Mule. Soooooo good-Titos, peach puree, lime, mint and Ginger beer! Thanks for a great experience, I will be back. Pictures, as always! read more

We ended up here spontaneously due to a long wait at another restaurant, and we were very pleased with the experience! Service was a little slow, but the food was excellent. We had the mozzarella sticks and fried okra, which were both crispy and served hot. I got the pimiento burger, which I really enjoyed. I will say that I ordered it done medium, and it was much closer to medium well, and I would have liked a little more Jam, but otherwise it was awesome. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles, and loved it! The portions were big and the overall vibe was very fun and spontaneous (we loved the Halloween theme!) would definitely recommend read more

Group of 5 of us. Breaking down what we had: Buffalo Chicken Dip - Pretty good, but they don't give you enough bread for the dip. We needed more and there was a charge for that. I'll give the dip a 3.5 but paying for more bread for it is ridiculous. Meatloaf was pretty good, give that 4 stars. Burger was terrible - overcooked and had no flavor, 1 star. Steak tacos - the steak was over cooked and cooked again. Kinda like old steak trim pieces or something, 1 star. They charge for splitting a meal - totally ridiculous business practice. Their restaurant - do what you want - but totally ridiculous. Service was good - no complaints there. Overall - not worth it. Plenty of better places around this area! read more

Nate gave the best service we have recieved in the city!! Will definitely be back to see him!!

Not much seating so you have to make sure you give yourself plenty of time but it was definitely worth it. We had a party of 9 and everyone loved their food. Most of us had their burgers and all were very happy. Thank you for a pleasant evening. read more

The Black Cow has a casual atmosphere utilizing the industrial brick feel of downtown Columbus. Drink menu has some custom cocktails and I tried the Georgia Peach Mule. It was quite refreshing on a hot Georgia day. I sat at the bar and Abby, the bartender, was super friendly and very helpful with ordering. I had the side salad (which I failed to take a picture of ‍), it was pretty basic but the vinaigrette dressing Abby recommended was delicious. I ate the Steakhouse Burger with fries for my meal. It was a good burger, the blue cheese crumbles mixed well with the caramelized onions. Amazing staff! Refreshing drinks. Laid back vibe. Good food. read more

My overall favourite restaurant in Columbus so far in the year I have lived here! The Restaurant is an amazing experience, and I enjoyed the high top tables towards the back better than the seating near the door. The fried green tomato tower is better than the Appetizer! I've gotten a Shrimp po boy and burger there and really enjoyed both. read more

We're visiting Columbus for an Army graduation and our Airbnb suggested the Black Cow to us, and oh boy was it a great suggestion! We weren't super hungry, so only a few of us ordered entrees and the rest just bought appetizers to share. The lobster tots and fried bacon were delicious! And all of the entrees we got as well were great (the meatloaf, fish & chips, and prime rib). All of their staff are super friendly, quick, and helpful. Our server was Kaden and she was fantastic. So friendly and knowledgeable! Overall, fantastic experience and great food! read more

The food was great! Service was amazing! The place was busy and Alyssa took great care of us . She was helpful, patient, and friendly. We ordered the fried tomato and goat cheese tower. My brother ordered the chicken and waffles. Which you could never go wrong with. My mother had the salmon sandwich which she enjoyed. I had the pimento burger which was absolutely tasty. Ambiance has that of a saloon. Would come here again. read more

We had 4 adults and 2 children. We were sat on arrival. The vibe is cool and relaxing inside. We ordered drinks which were just beers and they were opened right away by bartender but sat on the bar for 10 minutes before waitress brought them. All our food came out expect for the kids food.... We had to wait 15 minutes for the kids chicken tenders and checked in serval times to get them. This is so backwards. Anyone with kids knows they need there food first. My cousin got the salmon and it was served luke warm pretty much cold. I had the steak bites and green beans it was good, my husband had shrimp pasta it was good, meatloaf was good. Fried green tomatoes are average. Not sure we would return here and if so maybe just sit at bar.?.?.? read more
