I ate here over the weekend and it was honestly one of the best burgers I've ever had!!! I ordered the Forager (bacon and blue cheese) and it was so flavorful! My mother in law got the Left Coast and that was also great ! The avocado on it was so fresh! The server was attentive and friendly and food came out quick! Restaurant was clean and welcoming! I would highly recommend!! read more

Nampa, Idaho September 2026 HOLy COW! What a great restaurant. This brick lined restaurant sits on the corner in downtown Nampa. The menu is mostly sandwiches with a few appetizers and salads. Booths line the restaurant, with tables and metal chairs in the center. Restaurant is extremely clean. All the tables have a mason jar of fresh flowers. They have paper napkins with real cutlery. There is a large room adjacent to the restaurant that they are converting to a bar. Specific for those 21 and over. As of the end of September, it is not completed . Our waitress is Morgan. She also is the manager of the restaurant for the evening. What a delightful, outgoing, personable girl. So glad we had the opportunity of having her serve us this evening. I ordered the Yardbird minus the bacon. It comes on a ciabatta roll with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and red onion. The roll was slightly toasted. The chicken is accompanied with a pesto sauce which I put on the side. I think the chicken is marinated. It had a delicious flavor and very moist. I accompanied it with the french fries. They are beer battered and I asked for extra crispy. Ask for the fry sauce. It is a ketchup, mayonnaise, horseradish mixed with spices. Absolutely delicious. My suggestion for the sandwich would be to melt the cheese. Mine came out, not melted just sitting on top of my chicken sandwich. My husband ordered a cheeseburger with the extra crispy fries. He said the roll was buttered and it made the entire meal. This is a little extra that a restaurant can do to elevate their hamburger. Score!! The music is too loud for the restaurant. It was difficult to have conversation. I would get the following scores: Food - 5 Ambience-4.5 (took off metal chairs and loud music) Service- 5 (Morgan was phenomenal) Overall rating 4.8 read more

Simple interior, but it looks like they're adding on. Service was slow and not great. But we did enjoy the food enough to want to return. Mac and cheese egg rolls were too spicy for me, so that was a bummer because they sounded good. I appreciated the house salad, the pickled onions were a nice touch! House burger was good! read more

Everything on their menu is delicious. Even their salad dressing and fry sauce is tantilizing. There is not much seating compared to other, larger restaurants, but this does give it a cozy ambience. This was one of my favorite places to visit while pregnant! Their execution of the blue cheese burger is a winner! I always fill up by the time desert comes around....hopefully one day I will have enough willpower to save room for the peanut butter pie read more

Came here on a Saturday night around 730. Super busy, but the customer service was still spot on. The ladies at the front were so friendly and welcoming. Our server Matt was welcoming and helpful the whole time. He was very apologetic about it being so busy. It's not his fault that it was busy. The burger was absolutely delicious. We split the Rude Boi and got fries as a side. The fries were nice and crispy. The only way fries should be served. Their fry sauce had great flavor. Most places it has absolutely no flavor, so I was very happy that theirs tasted as great as it did. Their ranch was also really great. I have no idea if it was homemade or from a jar, but it was delicious also. If I didn't live SE Boise I would visit this restaurant more often. read more

We got takeout but the burgers, mac n cheese eggrolls, and fries were delicious!! Burgers our family ordered: Bison burger, Holy Cow, Sam Elliot, and kids cheese sandwich with fries were good!! Sister ordered the fish and chips. If you don't like fried stuff or have a sensitive stomach, order a side salad with your burger. Tater tots were good too. For dessert, we got two slices of the salted caramel cheesecake. It was good but rich. read more

Isabella , my Server was a Gem! Such a Sweetheart! My only Complaint is the Bar seating is gone and they literally took the size of their Fish orders in half. Still 4 pieces, but now they look like a Chicken Strip Size, very disappointed since this was my Nampa, Idaho Fish choice. However, there were very accommodating when I wanted to add two Buns and some side lettuce and make these into Fish Sandwiches. Pictures that follow ate before and today's Fish Fillet size. Can we change them back to the Size they were? A lot of people talk about your Fish on Social Media, I am going to post this in one week to all my platforms.waiting to hear from you. read more

We came here because of the reviews. It is located in what seems to be the historic downtown are of Nampa, with older, brick buildings, and assorted boutiques, restaurants, and dive bars, and next to the Nampa museum. It was about 1:45 pm on a Friday, and the place was fairly crowded. We were sat at a small booth for two, not my favorite table, but understandable that they would want to save their tables and booths for four for larger parties. It's very loud, hard to talk, so in tha sense the small booth we were in, set apart from the main seating area, was better for my wife and I to talk. Our server was Yulia, and she was delightful. Very nice, efficient, and attentive. Great service! We both had the classic burger, mine with the sharp cheddar it comes with, my wife sans cheese. 100% Wagyu beef, and cooked very nicely at medium. The bun was large and soft, very tasty and great texture. The fries were delicious; crispy and well seasoned, just great. They have a fry sauce that tasted like it had a bit of horseradish. I really liked it. Prices are very reasonable. In fact, I just had a burger at a nice restaurant in downtown Boise last week that had a smaller patty and bun, and cost $3 more. We will definitely be back to Holy Cow. read more

I got the Waylon burger and it was so good - peanut butter on a burger with bacon is always a winner in my book. It was excellent and the fries are actually good too. I had to take it because I ran out of time, but my server was thorough and apologetic. Cool place - I'd eat here more if I was local. Very busy spot! read more

This was a really enjoyable American style restaurant. It was a fun and open atmosphere with interesting art work. We were seated as soon as we entered and had our waitress at our table right away to take our drink orders. And she was always available. We tried the elk sliders and they were amazing, and the tater tots were cooked perfect. We tried a few of their local IPAs and they were served cold in a cold glass. Our overall experience was good. They gave you a lot of food and everything tasted good. Seating is spaced well so you are never sitting next to others. The music was not loud so it was easy to have conversations. I would recommend this place for families or couples or even if you are by yourself. They have an enjoyable bar area with seating. We were traveling and felt lucky to find this restaurant. read more

Our first time here and we love it! The food was great and came out quick. We had to wait a bit for the table but only 20 min during peak dinner time on a Friday night so I'm upset about that at all. We got fried pickles, burgers, and pulled pork. The server gave us great recommendations. Will 100% be coming back read more

Holy Cow - Sam Elliott - New American Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

Service was excellent! Place was busy possibly due to lack of competition in that area. Ordered the Ruben sandwich with fries. Fries were great. Sandwich would have been delicious had they put more than 2, yes I said 2, slices of corned beef. All you could taste was the sourdough bread. I've had this sandwich at several restaurants & always had a nice stack of meat. Not at Holy Cow. Never eating there again. read more

Fish and chips were delicious and arrived hot, the Cobb salad was fresh and was a good size for the money. All items ordered were packaged good to keep them flavorful. The delivery person was cordial and arrived on time. read more

Really enjoyed Holy Cow! I love that they have specialty burgers, and you can definitely taste the quality of the meat, it was really good! I ordered through DoorDash, so I can't speak much on the customer service, but the food was great overall. My only complaint is that the fry sauce didn't have much flavor, and the fries and ranch were way too salty (and I LOVE salt ). Otherwise, definitely would order again and try some of their other burgers! read more

I really like their fish and chips!! This restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly! I try to go on off hours as lunch time can be quite busy but definitely worth the wait!! read more

Food was good and it will make you say holy cow when you try it. The service was amazing and the restaurant was very clean and spacious.

Found this place via yelp. Definitely a home run for lunch. The burger was great and my kids chicken bites were delicious. Quick and friendly service in the happening downtown area of Nampa. We definitely will return again. read more

So a few years back when the father had it, it was awesome. I am not sure who took it over but wow. Food and service just went down hill. Went for breakfast, as we walked in and a lot of the tables were still not clean, most of the plates were full. No one ate. Our meal was not good. Service was really short. Will not go back. That is a bummer read more

This place popped up as a must-try burger spot in downtown Nampa, and it didn't disappoint. It's a fun little spot in the heart of downtown, a decent amount of seating, and service was great. Since it was our first time, we asked for recs and everything she recommended was yummy. We started with the Mac and cheese and bacon egg rolls- I know, it sounds off-the-wall, but so is this place, and in this regard, it's a good thing! They were probably my personal favorite part of our meal. The sauce had great heat and they were delicious. My son ordered The Elliot burger, I Had the Holy Cow burger and my daughter got the Cobb salad- everything was fresh and tasty- I would have loved the spicy sauce that came with the egg rolls on my burger, but that's for next time. We tried the fries and tots, and our recommendation would be to get the fries. If you love a good burger, a fun place to eat, and great service, go give them a try- you won't be disappointed. read more

The burgers are fresh. The place is a little small, but it's pretty cozy and the service is really good a little pricey.

The food was excellent I had a burger and fries and they were both delicious. Will order from them again.

Blah....nothing special. Over cooked and over priced burgers. Fries were fire though.

Did a call in order for pickup. Ordered one rude boi burger and fish tacos with a side of fries. The burger was good had a great taste along with the tacos had a nice crunch. So far I am happy with Holy cow will be going back read more

Their food is spectacular! They have a new manager who is out in the restaurant serving people all the time and is incredibly friendly and nice. My order arrived not as expected this evening and he took it back, the kitchen remade it, and he fully made the situation right. This is an excellent place to eat, with great food, and friendly staff. I highly recommend you try it if you haven't already. read more

So very good all of it friendly service. Food very good. Waitress very attendance notice when you need refills. read more

Killer apps, and killer burgers. Very friendly staff! We 3 apps to see what we liked, and tyey were all awesome! I'll be coming back here.

I used to love this place. Gone downhill. I love sitting at a table for 15 minutes while the hostess and 2 servers chop it up at the front before we have even been offered waters. Overpriced and over rated. Quality of food and customer service leave quite a bit to be desired. read more

Burger was great. Good selection. Service was good. Seating is tight. Price are a little spendy...

First time trying this spot. Quality and fresh ingredients. I got the yardbird sandwich, which was very flavorful. Great service. Clean and well maintained dining area. Cant wait to come back and try other menu items. read more

I love Holy Cow and have been coming here for years. Came tonight after not being in for a couples month and their food supplier changed and it's just not the same, less quality, and definitely not local. I've always admired this place for being the best local joint in town and now it's very much like every other burger joint. The service is always great but the environment also got a downgrade and lost some of its quirk. Please don't change HOLY COW. read more

great food and great prices for it. . read more

Great food and ambiance with decor. burgers are tasty and generous portions of fried, tots or a side salad. Canned alcoholic drinks aren't bad. read more

We have been regulars at Holy Cow for about a year or so. We tried several different menu items but settled on our favorites that we order time and time again. The fish tacos and Rude Boi burger are our go-to items. We decided to go this evening and we were very disappointed with the "new menu". The menu itself looked different but the items appeared to be the same so we ordered our favorites like always. This time was unfortunately different and we may not go back after our experience this evening. The "update" changed some of the good things about the food we love and didn't enjoy them. Increased the prices but felt like decrease in the quality of ingredients. My tacos were covered in red onions and no more halves of cherry tomatoes and my husband's Rude Boi didn't kick like it used to. It was like they were imposters of the food we loved. Very disappointed in the "new menu". Too bad. Looking for a new place in the vicinity that has a great burger but other items too. read more

The burgers were awesome and the tots were too! The reuben was amazing and the fish was good too. We especially liked the waitress, Emily, she was the best! read more
