We stopped here on the way to Red Rocks. None of us had been here before but with such a cute name who could resist. Based on other reviews, it seems like maybe we need to try it again. The place is cute and the service was great but we all felt the food was just kind of average. I ordered the green chile burrito with ground beef. And maybe I was expecting too much flavor, but it was kind of bland. The ground beef was not Mexican seasoned and tasted like just cooked ground beef rolled into a burrito. No spice or flavor to it as I had hoped. The french dip was also just okay. Now mind you we ate it all so it was not bad, but just not great. Maybe it is a matter of trying the wrong things because people clearly love this place. So next time I am in Morrison, I would give it another shot. read more

Went in for the ice cream and wasn't disappointed! Ordered a medium twist in a waffle bowl... be prepared to be amazing. People order the small... the staff were friendly and inviting. We ate in the back porch and the weather was so nice. Hope to make it back to try the food sometime! read more

Out of towner traveling with the wife and baby and was brought here with a friend, who's a local, after visiting the Red Rocks Amphitheater. Our friend and her husband really enjoy this place and LOVE their coffee. I'm going to be honest, the food that I had was just okay. However, the service was excellent. My wife and her friend ordered the Morrison slider and although there were so many other delicious sounding options, I passed on them because I just wanted something "lighter" so opted to go with one of their "specialties," the fish tacos. That was a mistake. The fish tacos were bland to say the least. The flour tortillas they served them on weren't even warmed up on a pan and stuck to the plate and to each other so it made a mess as they fell apart when trying to pry them from the plate. When I was finally able to pry them apart and took a bite, the cold flour tortilla stuck to the back of my teeth. Even with the guacamole, the tacos didn't have any flavor that would have it stand out. Fortunately I was able to part take of my wife's order of Morrison sliders which was much more tasty. However, the kitchen didn't cook the side of sweet potato fries that came with our order well enough so some bites you were getting partially cooked potato which is odd since you'd figure they would have batches of whatever is in the fryer on a timer to make sure this doesn't happen. Anyway, if I could do it all over again I should have just thrown caution into the wind and gotten one of their deep fried decadent offerings. My only recommendation is to avoid the fish tacos. read more

The ice cream is quite delicious. Would recommend as a nice family spot as well as the food is very delicious.

For the moment, I'm just posting about the cinnamon roll and staff. It was epic. Soft, gooey, and decadent. But my picture is bad, so I need to go back. The staff was friendly and fast. I paid and had my roll as soon as I had my change. Ashley was super quick and answered my questions about everything they served. Expect to see something off the menu and multiple rolls on the edit. ;-) read more

One of our favorites when we are in the area! Excellent for breakfast or lunch with a crowded, lively vibe. Delicious food and beverages (both specialty coffee and cocktails). Fantastic service (shoutout to Nydia and Miranda who did a fantastic job on a recent visit). Nice patio too! Often a short wait for a table but be patient -- worth it. read more

Stopped by for lunch after going to the red rock ampitheater. Seemed like a cozy restaurant. Food was just ok. We got a side salad and chicken sandwich to split. Fries were good. We were checked on by 3 different servers, so service was quick. However, I am not sure that the communication between them was great. We told one of them we were considering dessert, and then the other 2 both dropped off checks. Decided just to pay and leave instead of staying for dessert. Not really a super big deal, but we just felt a little rushed out the door. Bill was about 30$ so I personally think it was a bit expensive for what we were getting. read more

Top-notch diner in Morrison. Lots of great options and excellent service. Ate lunch here 11/4/25

Cozy and busy food stop just a few mins from Red Rock amphitheater. Diner feel with diner style eats. Service was friendly, but it did take a bit for our plates to come out. My dirty chai was good, the breakfast was pretty standard fare. No complaints. They had a really good breakfast enchilada or burrito (I'm not sure which one) that kept coming out and that thing looked tasty! If I went again, I'd be trying that. read more

My wife and I like eating here because the food is good and the place is no frills. It's like a typical place where the 'locals' eat after they've tried all the fancy places in town and keep coming back to when they want a consistently good meal at a good price. The last time I was there I had a French Dip. The beef was served on a fresh slice of French bread. It was very good! read more

Before hitting some slopes at Loveland Ski Resort, my friend and I met up at this cute breakfast place in the heart of Morrison to get some protein going. The location is perfect; easily accessible from I-70, the service is fairly quick (although there were barely anyone at the restaurant at 7am sharp so I hope they are fast in serving people when it's packed.) They have something quick from oatmeal bowl to bagel with cream cheese to something more filling such as eggs with protein to omelet, I mean you name it! You'll definitely find something that'll entertain your eyes and tummy. The workers were nice, courteous; after we got our food, they checked up on us to ensure everything was good. The restaurant's name says it: it's a cow themed place. There are/where all kinds of cow related decors throughout the restaurant. The inside of it is not super spacious but when the weather permits, you can sit outside in the patio. It's not just a breakfast place; they have a decent cocktail menu so there is a way to booze yourself up if need be! I wasn't looking for something big so I got me a cup of oatmeal (enjoyed this one) and sweet potato homefries (they were alright, not super impressive.) Overall, this is a decent place. I'll consider coming back here for a breakfast if I see fit in the future although it may not be a place to drive all the way from my DTC neighborhood just to come here to eat breakfast to be frank. It's nice to know that such a place exists. read more

We always enjoy eating here, but get to Morrison rarely. Breakfast burrito was wonderful and substantial; the Killer avocado toast was exceptional. Love eating in the patio, too. Weekdays are busy but we had no wait on a Tuesday at 11. Server was efficient and not chatty (appreciated) but also not at all rude or snobby. Just right. read more

We stopped by for breakfast before heading to Red Rocks and absolutely loved it! I had the steak and eggs -- cooked just right and super flavorful. My husband had the Cowboy Breakfast, and it was hearty and delicious. The portions were generous, and the service was warm and welcoming. Definitely a must-visit if you're in the Morrison area! read more

I have never knowingly not tipped a waitress. Today was the first! I was there over 20 minutes and no one even bothered to say hello. I had to flag down a manager to order my food, and when it came it was definitely nothing special. Sweet potato fries were recommended by her, and were cold. The Ruben, just average. No one came to see how my food was, and I had to get someone's attention in order to pay my bill. Despite the fact that I've been there several other times with no issues, I will never be back. This was a horrible experience overall. read more

This team is obviously dedicated to creating an all around great experience. If you're in Morrison or surrounding areas on a hike, this is the perfect place to grab a bite after. The food was fresh and light -- tons of options as a pescatarian. Also don't miss the soft serve! read more

i had a gluten free buffalo chicken grilled cheese and my fiancé had the gyro burger, both were good and i liked the fries. it was decently busy, even for a tuesday, which was a promising sign. the service, however, was disappointing. our server hardly acknowledged us, did not check in at all after we had our food, and dropped off the check without a word after we had been eating for maybe 5-10 minutes. she also mixed up our drinks and gave me a regular coke instead of a diet, thankfully i am not diabetic so i didn't get sick. i'm a server myself, so i'm hoping our server was just having an off day, but the service was pretty disappointing. i would likely come back for the food alone, though read more

So the service here is the true star. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Thank you so much. The food? Er ah not so much. Pluses??? The Root Beer was good. My order of wings were not crispy. Served at a tepid temperature. The Thai Chilli sauce tasted exactly like the one that can be bought at Trader Joes...oh no! My Burger tasted really prefab. The meat was very mediocre and cooked weirdly....loose and wet. The fries were luke warm and not crisp....fries must be crisp..that is a capital offense. Maybe next time I am at Redrocks or hiking up in the hills I will stick with the Ice Cream. Plus side is a great parking lot and back patio is dog friendly.....and of course the wonderful staff that is truly caring. read more

I was very disappointed with the food n service! The omelet was dry n the fruit was unappealing! We waited for drinks ordered before breakfast n they came out while we were eating! The service was poor! Sorry but you need to know! read more

Ordered 30 min ahead for to go. Got there and it took another 30 min to get the food...that's 1 hr! Burger was supposed to be med well, but came char-burned. The chicken strips were so hard that I needed a hammer and anvil to cut them. Not worth the wait or the money. read more

Small space with a small parking lot for free parking. Be prepared to wait on weekends. Quirky decor really leaning into their name. Servers were checking on our table regularly but also are standing nearby if you need something. Food quality was pretty good. No complaints but also no real standouts. Still worth a visit. read more

The food was amazing, I had the cinnamon roll before my chicken fried chicken A+ serve also, Sam was great, attitude was fun, very knowledgeable with the meal and surrounding activities. Was so cool to see how much these owners love their community. The USA flags, the sports teams and the support of our police officers was cool to see. Will be back next time through town read more

We arrived for lunch without a reservation and were surprised to be seated within 10 minutes. Service was quick - drink orders taken right away and food orders after drinks were served. Order were: Fish tacos, BLT (hold the spicy), arugula salad and garden vegetable salad with salmon. My friend thought the arugula salad was decent. A bit too much fruit and chicken was over cooked but was edible. My other friend ordered the BLT (hold the spicy). It was very dry (the wait staff did not offer an alternative to the spicy aioli) and "the worst BLT he's ever had". My husband had the fish tacos - "decent" but couldn't figure out the type of fish. Had to ask for salsa. Last and least was the Signature Garden salad with salmon. I asked for oil and vinegar dressing and asked the wait staff if it was olive oil. She said yes but when she brought it to the table, it was easy to tell that it was NOT olive oil. Any oil other than avocado or oil is unhealthy. The menu description (diced, blanched seasonal veggies, and sunflower seeds) is erroneous. Blanched asparagus and squash but large chunks of raw carrots and jicama. The lettuce was tossed into a bowl from a premixed salad with large pieces and the salmon was overcooked. The tomatoes were very underripe - no flavor a very firm texture. Needless to say, I was underwhelmed for a 13.99 salad + 6.00 for overcooked (probably cooked the day before) salmon. Our total bill was $83.00 + tip. We assumed the wait for a table and busy staff was a tell that the food was decent. So disappointing! PS - The wait staff did not ask how I wanted the salmon cooked. We did not complain to the wait staff because we did not want to wait for another order to be prepared. If you are not aware of the health issues with seed oils, here is more info. Here's the 6-step industrial process that transforms innocent seeds (like soy, canola, safflower, corn) into toxic sludge: Step 1: Seeds are crushed under high-pressure industrial presses, turning the oil gummy and unstable from the start Step 2: The gummy oil is "de-gummed" with hexane, a neurotoxic chemical also used in glue remover Step 3: It's then heated above 400°F -- turning it rancid and producing a foul odor (first clue something's seriously off) Step 4: To cover the stench, it's deodorized with sodium hydroxide, a caustic agent and suspected carcinogen Step 5: Then it's bleached to make it look clear, clean, and edible Step 6: Poured into plastic bottles, labeled "heart-healthy," and sold to unsuspecting families everywhere Then they have the audacity to call it "natural" and "good for you." Compare that to how real olive oil has been made for thousands of years: press olives, get oil. No neurotoxins. No carcinogens. No bleaching. No deodorizing. Yet somehow, we've been tricked into believing this industrial sludge is better than the alternatives! What happens when you eat these oils every day? They get embedded in your cell membranes -- where they: Disrupt energy production Interfere with hormonal balance Trigger immune dysregulation Damage your gut lining Overload your liver Stay in your body for up to 6 years read more

Ate there a couple days ago - restaurant has it's appeal - they allow dogs in the back covered area(near the stream and walkway), prompt and friendly service. So why the bad review? I ordered the chicken and waffles (love this dish)- but rarely order since it is a 'cheat' food for me - and really looking forward to a big juicy fried chicken breast with my waffle! The waffle was good - but the chicken - NOT! It was the thickness of a pencil and of course not juicy! Not tasty at all! They had to have thin sliced a regular chicken breast then pounded it like a steak to get multiple chicken entrees out of ONE chicken breast! Who does this? And charged $14 - so you are basically paying for one waffle. My friends had a steak burrito and an omelet - both meh! So be for warned - this owner is trying to serve unacceptable food charging high prices - good business model I guess if you NEVER WANT REPEAT business!! (certainly not mine!) read more

If you find your self in Morrison, Colorado, chances are you will find yourself at the cow. Super friendly staff and an awesome wide ranging menu. Everything from breakfast to super yummy and delicious desserts. I personally had the bison burger, which was very flavorful, and people in our group had the regular hamburger also was juicy and delicious. Super bonus, pull into their parking lot and you will not have to pay on street parking. read more

We came to breakfast this morning. We ordered drinks. They took long to get. We order a biscuit with green chile, the huevos rancheros, an omelet, and egg breakfast. The green chile was not green and didn't taste like chile. The huevos rancheros came out as a giant tortilla on a plate, with some potato's, cold beans, and egg. The omelets were dry. read more

Adorable little restaurant. Friendly, helpful, attentive staff. Amazingly delicious food.

Yum! Stopped here for lunch after visiting red rocks amphitheater for a hike. Service was fast and food was great! Their ranch is homemade and seriously best ranch dressing I've ever had.

Promptly seated at the quaint diner - outside covered patio with beautiful trees next to the eating area. Also indoor dining available as well as a front patio where you can order from a window.

We love The Cow! It is a tradition for the Tri Velo Series Mtn Bike camp to head to The Cow after a day of riding. The window staff & the owner are awesome - pleasant, smiling & accommodating to a large group of kids! The big favorites with the kids are cherry dipped cones; root beer floats & milkshakes. They always have a cooler of water & a water dish for dogs! There is bike parking on the side and it is right off the bike path. Seating can get crowded - especially shaded seating but it's a popular place! The umbrellas are rarely put up & that would help but apparently wind can be an issue. The only issue is the manager can be a bit gruff with customers. In a few occasions we have asked if we could put up the umbrellas & the window staff said yes. It was a heat advisory. The manager yelled at the coaches putting up the umbrellas. This happened more than once. Nonetheless - we still love it. And the food is also great - they have a nice open spot to get great burgers & other yummies! Best place in Morrison! read more

Took my kids and mother to breakfast this morning. We were going to go to blackbird Café in Kitteridge but it was closed so decided to try the cow, what a mistake. I ordered a redeye and the two egg breakfast with bacon and fruit and no toast. The redeye came out with no creamer sugar, the waitress told me she would be right back with cream and sugar and never returned until my coffee was cold but by that point I had drank most of it. The food came out pretty promptly which was a promising sign, however the food was a major disappointment. My eggs were cold, brown, and overcooked, along with several berry stains on them. The Bacon was OK but thin and lacked flavor. The fruit was unwashed and looked filthy. When we received breakfast, I asked for a side of green chili and it came out after we had finished eating and the table had been cleared, and was added to our bill. The waitress did end up removing that charge, however when she handed me the digital payment machine, she automatically checked off at 22% tip. Which I find very forward and unappealing. I'm not in the habit of leaving bad reviews for restaurants, but I feel that people need to know what they're up against when they come here. Not sure we will be back to give it another chance. read more

Just popped into the cute Mom and Pop Restaurant after visiting the Red Rocks and so glad we did. What a great " find " this was.

We will definitely come here again on our next visit to the Red Rocks ,I highly recommend dining here if in the area. read more
