Excellent food, and friendly staff. We were tracking through and stopped for lunch. Greater with a friendly face at host stand. Service prompt and everyone was so kind. Burgers fresh and I had kettle chips. Sit outside, the view is nice. read more

Wow! These burgers were wonderful! Very flavorful, and you get what you pay for, a big, juicy, stacked sandwich cooked to perfection. Little crunchy edges, and juicy in the middle. They weren't stingy with the toppings either. Homemade chips, juicy burger, good size portions - and VERY reasonable prices - couldn't be better. Now, our waitress Kayla was wonderful too! Kayla laughed and smiled with us, knew the menu, and her service was wonderful! If you go there, ask for her! We ate outside on a beautiful day on the lake. Just a fun, nice place to eat! read more

We had a great visit to Flippin Cow. The service was wonderful, the food was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed and the location on the lake was a highlight. It was one of the better restaurant experiences that we've had recently. Located a mile north of the Indiana Toll Road, we found this place based on a search knowing this area was where we wanted to stop for dinner on our traverse to Chicago. It looked like a fun spot from the description and was certainly something different. An additional consideration was that we had our 21-month-old granddaughter and needed a place where we could so find something that appealed to her. Burgers are usually a good bet. The location on Simonton Lake was beautiful. It facilitated a treat before we ever stepped into the restaurant. There was a family of swans on the water with the parents and their six cygnets. They were indeed fun to watch. The lake created a wonderful setting from the outset. Upon entry, we were greeted by the friendly staff and were accommodated with a booth in the main dining room quickly. Our waitress, Kayla, attended to us right away and did a terrific job. We were well cared for during our visit. The food was delivered in a timely fashion without undue delay. We started with an order of Onion Rings, which turned out to be a great choice. They were crispy with flavorful breading that was not so thick as to be overwhelming. We also tried a couple of cocktails. While we like a glass of wine with our meal, we're not really cocktail people. But these intrigued us. I tried the Peach Sangria, which was very good. My wife had the Jameson Ginger Sparkler. Jameson and Ginger Ale has been a favorite of hers since we experienced the Jameson Factory tour in Dublin several years ago. This concoction was a nice take on that theme. Both drinks were "dangerous" because they were so tasty that you didn't notice they contained alcohol. In spite of the fact that this is primarily a burger pub, we found two salads that intrigued us for our mains. One was actually in keeping with the theme of the restaurant, as my wife had the Flippin Burger Salad. As the name suggests, it featured burger on greens with her choice of honey mustard dressing. She shared that with our granddaughter. They were both happy with the choice. I had the Flippin Whitefish Salad. The fish was nicely done and it seemed appropriate since we were by the lakeshore. I found it to be quite satisfying with the raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Unfortunately, they no longer make their Mango Chardonnay Dressing that used to accompany this salad. I've never had the chance to try it but it sounds like they should consider bringing it back. The total for our meals with food, drinks, tax and tip was $68. At $34 each as well as having enough to feed a toddler, we were very happy with this given the experience. We'll look forward to a return visit now that we know this place is there. read more

Great service, fun atmosphere! Fried pickles/jalapeños and mini corn dogs were spot on! It looks like a cool view but too hot/humid right now to sit outside and enjoy it. Burgers looked HEARTY and heard other patrons raving about them. read more

We really enjoyed the lake side ambiance. The cow you flip over to get service was new, fun and helpful! Our server was fast, friendly and knowledgeable all important characteristics. My wife's Fish and fries were perfect not greasy perfect cook, great seasoning. My very unique never had prior and delicious burger was absolutely fantastic with that Crab Rangoon sauce on top! Wow, wow! why is this the first time in my life! I'm having that again soon! Did I mention our drinks were also very good! Summary - must go! Going back soon... read more

This was probably one of the best service experiences I've had in awhile. Our server was not only very attentive and helpful but management was also visible and checking in with tables! Everyone was very friendly! Fun place right on the water with lots of seating inside and out. The food was really good too! There were a lot of delicious-sounding burgers. I ended up getting the one suggested by our waitress and was not disappointed. Quirky and cute and tasty! Highly recommend! read more

The servers were all nice, and the orange vanilla beer they had on tap was surprisingly good. The meat was very bland, with not even a taste of salt and pepper. Small adjustments to focus on taste would help this place. Still overall real cool location. read more

Stopped in to check out what we hoped to be a decent burger. Did not disappoint. Decor was funky and fun. Wait staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered cheese nugs as an appetizer. Delicious. Not overly breaded. Nicely cooked and seasoned. My wife had the flippin melt. She thought it was fantastic. I ordered the Stella moo burger however I substituted the bbq sauce for their flippin awesome sauce. Probably should have left it as is for the true experience but it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Cooked perfectly and unbelievable flavor. Lastly the wooden cow "flip me" is one of the most brilliant ideas I've ever seen. It eliminates the guesswork for staff and allows the guests to ask for help without spending time trying to flag down staff. Genius. We'll be back. read more

We were passing through town and googled best places to eat in Elkhart and the Flipping Cow came up. Intrigued by the name we stopped in for lunch and are so glad that we did! It's situated right on a lake for good views, the food was amazing, the service was very quick and our waitress was very friendly. We had the double double burger and Bonnie's burger - both terrific but be warned they are huge! The fries were also very crispy and yummy. They also have a gluten free menu and buns if needed. The cutest thing is they have a cow statue on each table that you flip over if you need the wait staff. I'm not sure why other restaurants haven't thought of this! read more

We are visiting Elkhart on Business and pleasure . This is the first place we went for a bite since we wanted a burger . Hands down the best burger I have had in a long long time .

A unique little spot, and fantastic food.

Our server was fantastic too...she had some larger parties, but didn't overlook my wife and I. read more

The quest for the perfect BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN continues and Flippin Cow in Elkhart Indiana gets an honorable mention for making it fritter-like with consistent thickness and manageable size but the flavor was still on point is a return trip in order definitely for the eats and hospitality if not a tenderloin person they have a great selection to choice from read more

This is 100% the summer spot to be for a good burger and beer during the summer right off the lake. The cheese nugs mights be the best cheese curd appetizer I've had in a long time. Following that I had the Stella moo burger. It is a quite a large burger and very filling. The staff were also super friendly and attentive. The place really gives off beach lake front vibes and it's awesome. The only thing I wish they had was chicken wings Update: after a few hours the burger really isn't sitting well and happened to get sick from it. Not sure if it was the brisket, bacon, or the burgers itself. Just make sure yours is properly cooked. read more

Food is okay but somewhat predictable. Service on a busy day is slow. Maybe they need more employees. Parking is atrocious. Many times you have to park across a 4-lane busy highway and take your chances with the traffic. For me it's not worth it. read more

Amazing place. Great food and great service. Such a fun place to go. Always have great service.

The staff love their jobs! Whether you order a burger or the shore wrap, you will not be disappointed! And do not change the spicy mayo for anything You cannot beat the view of the lake or getting to meet new people at the bar-tops inside. Was there on the 17th of Sept to honor my friend, colleague, & mentor who LOVED the Flippin' & even had her own table! If you've never been, get here! read more

Soggy burger, didn't taste good enough to get past the wet, falling apart bun. Service was okay, but the food wasn't worth it. Probably a great spot for men wanting a break from their wives. The cheesy nugs were good, but it's impossible to mess up those type of ready to fry foods. Won't be returning. The decor was interesting, and the spot on the lake seemed to be a nice place, but the food is less than mediocre. read more

We had the pretzel bites, the all american burger and a malt. All were great. My wife asked if they had a coffee malt.

Next time we are in, we'll request the "Kim's doozie" malt. read more

Delicious food, amazing prices, and such a cool and unique place. Lots of cool and unique burger options, but also a lot of other American food options. The food came out super quickly and was hot and fresh, and the service was great too. We stayed in Elkhart after a Notre Dame game, and the Flippin' Cow was a great post game meal.

We an amazing kitschy local place! Makayla was our server and she was a bubbly, fun amazing young lady. She kept us smiling the entire time. Makayla's recommendations were spot on. The hubs had the Stella Moo. The meat was flavorful and juicy. The burger was loaded with smokey brisket, bacon, onion strings and cheese. I had the Maui Wowie which came on a pretzel roll. The sweet savory sauce complimented the burger perfectly. We didn't have drinks but the drink menu was hilarious. I'm sure on a Friday night, there's a bunch of women jamming to the 80's music shouting "Woo Whoo". We absolutely loved this place! If you're driving down 90 West it's totally worth stopping here. read more

Labor Day almost nothing in Shipshewana or Elkhart is open other than chain restaurants but Sue at the Hilton tapestry Hotel in Elkhart found this restaurant open called the Flippin cow so we went to try it. It was a unique looking place on the water. I don't know what water what lake or what river but it was on the water And it was very, very different looking. If you looked around at the decor was everything from the Bob slide on the wall to a boat to a bicycle hanging from the ceiling and all types of other stuff to look at and money was hanging from the ceiling all over the table. Tops were very unusual. One was made out of pennies one was made out of bottle caps, and one was made out of yardsticks. I have pictures of them which I'll try to attach to this we ordered pretzel bites for an appetizer, and my wife ordered a salad with an unusual fish, white fish in it and I ordered a burger on a plate covered with grilled onions and a side of chips which they make there. Everything was good. I won't say anything was great but everything was good. The waitress's name was Sydney. She was terrific and it was an interesting evening. read more

So impressed with everything at this little restaurant. We had the fried pickles and onion rings as an appetizer and they were uniquely good - just something about the batter having a bit of sweetness to it. Loved the sauce for the appetizers. My wife got the grilled brisket and cheese sandwich, but I did not get a chance to snap a picture - it was great by the way. However, I took this picture of the Stella Moo Burger with high expectations. It was so wonderful - all the different flavors that went into creating this wonderful meaty masterpiece. There was also a sweet barbeque (I think) sauce that made it all the much better. Staff was wonderful, absolutely family friendly, and a must if you are looking for a great flavor experience. Highly recommend - 5 Stars! read more
