    Quesabirria
    Shayna T.

    We came here on a Saturday night when we had to kill a few hours after dropping our nephew off at an activity. It's nothing fancy. It was not busy, and we were seated right away. Our server was friendly enough and we ordered pretty quickly. There were gluten free designations on the menu which was helpful. I got the quesabirria and my husband got the cheese curd burger with dill fries. My quesabirria was pretty good for it not being a Mexican restaurant. It was cheesy and wasn't spicy, but left something to be desired that only authentic Mexican cuisine can really provide. My husband enjoyed the dill fries but said the burger was pretty disappointing for it being a burger place.

    Huge onion ring
    Garrett Z.

    I was looking for a place to bring my family for a good burger. I checked Yelp to see what was around me that I haven't tried yet and noticed Mad Cow. The thing that really got my attention though were the ginormous onion rings. My gosh, they looked so good. Gotta give them a try for those. Food-wise, the menu is a good mix of bar food and Americana. Most of my party tried a burger. The burger menu had a good mix of classic and some more interesting ones like a Peanut Thai Jelly Burger. I went with a classic BBQ burger because it came with one of those giant onion rings. The ring was the largest part of my sandwich, so good. Burgers were not huge but still filling. We also tried an order of the onion rings. They were huge and had a good beer batter on them. The horseradish sauce paired well with them. The two winners at this place though were the kids meals and a surprising pasta dish. The kids meal clock in at only $6 but the quality and portion size was a great deal. My kid's pizzas were made fresh and super tasty. The fruit side was actually fresh fruit and not a stale fruit cup. My wife didn't feel like a burger and so got the Carbonara Pasta. It was super tasty and the portion made it into a two-meal dish. I stole a couple bites and it was super tasty. Honestly, I would probably come back and order that instead of a burger. Prices were decent and service was good. The wait to get our food was a tad slow but we were in no rush. Game time deals are very generous and their happy hour specials are not bad. A good choice to meet up and watch the big game in Eagan.

    Here's a more polished and engaging version of your review: **"We stopped by on a Friday around 2 PM to avoid the happy hour rush. Service was prompt, and our food arrived quickly. I ordered the California burger, which was pretty standard--nothing that really stood out. The fries, however, were a bit different from the usual and surprisingly good. Overall, the bar itself was underwhelming, and the food was just average. Not a bad spot, but nothing particularly memorable either.

    Yearning for a good burger I stopped in at Mad Cow to see what the menu had to offer. It was early in the day so it was a seat your self kidn of moment. Honestly I believe there were two servers at the time but shout out to them because they did a good job in attending to all the patrons. Sport bsar ambiance, its definitely a place to brign a friend and grab a beer. Shit back and watch the sports of your choice, as well as sa good gathering spot for your crew. I went with the rodeo cow burger. Cheddar cheese, bacon, one jumbo onion ring piled on top of a homemade burger drizzled with blackberry BBQ saue is just what I needed. I can not say I am 100 percent sold on the fries but they werek good.

    Flammin Blueberry Burger
    Violet K.

    Ordered food to go.... Disappointed. Well seasoned food doesn't exist in the Midwest. I asked for flavor and they handed me ranch. Everything is flavorless. Fries were hard and burger was supposed to be well done. In the trash. My stomach feels so off after eating this. Whoever was the chef around 1:30pm 06/01/2025. Fire him. Please and thanks.

    Empty waiting area.

    Their teenage boys that are hosting (apparently it takes three) were insanely rude when we walked in asking for a table on apparently bingo night where we were told there was a wait list 'basically til bingo is over'. There's nobody else waiting, folks. Even witnessed some people walking out. I can't even believe how they treated us. Will actually never come here again.

    Onion rings
    Heather S.

    Man I wish this place were better. I've been here before and the crowd can be rough. Food is okay. I've had a burger here and some onion rings, as well as a few beers. Beautiful patio. The bar is questionable. Staff all seem nice. My sleeves were sticking to the bar because the bar was chipping away and someone felt it was a good idea to place duct tape on the edges. As that withers away, the sticky goo sticks to my white sleeves and ruins my top. The end

    Flaming Bleu Berry Burger
    Kari M.

    A great stop for dinner. Staff was friendly and we enjoyed the openness with the ability for the garage doors to be open on nice weather days. We had the Yum Yum Wings which turned out nice, The Flaming Bleu Berry burger with dilly fries, and the Bacon Curd Burger and baked potato.

    It's not that it's bad. It's just average and there are better burgers available at competing restaurants in the area.

(might be considered a bit salty for others due to fish sauce) but not for me! The short ribs were also good - just wished they had more grilled/craggy texture since they said "charcoal grilled" but they were very tender! The sticky rice and tomato jeow that came with the ribs was also very good if you can handle the spice of the jeow The lager was given "on the house" and is super light and complimented our meal perfectly. The standout here was definitely the service and hospitality! This is a family owned restaurant and it was obvious they take tremendous pride in serving you their modern take on traditional Lao dishes! The restaurant is small and informal but all around pleasant and delicious! Will be back!

    Little restaurant & bar inside Envision Hotel…read more I went here to celebrate after a football game! The bartenders/staff were nice but seemed very overwhelmed dealing with large crowds. I had to repeat my order several times. Overall the waitstaff did the best they can, kept a good attitude and I appreciate that. They didn't seem to have a full bar. They had to few dark liquors, bottles of beer, & maybe 4-5 tap beers on tab. The food was priced the same as any other bar. $10 for a plate of wings. I think it's fair. The buffalo wings were not good in my opinion. They were a bit slimy/soggy. The buffalo flavor was very light & didn't have a lot of flavor. I also ordered fries, they were not salted which is fine but all I'm saying is there was nothing special about them. They were also a little soggy. The atmosphere was good. It was set up really cute with traditional dining seating (tables and chairs) and also a chill chairs, couches and coffee tables. They had multiple TVs, playing different channels. Very nice setup. The bar was in the middle of the restaurant. The only complaint I have is that the stools at the bar aren't high enough, unless you are very tall. The bar is way too high.

Our bartender Dan was very accommodating and nice. He even offered that we try the different beers on tap before choosing.! Sadly the place seems like an afterthought as a restaurant for the hotel. For appetizers we got the fried chicken wings and nachos. The nachos had a abundance of lettuce and cheese but not quite enough meat and the tortilla chips themselves were a bit too hard for my taste. The wings though were good..! The were plain salt and pepper but real wings, freshly fried, and un-breaded. Can't go wrong except with the prep, but nope, these were fried perfectly. Still moist and good to the bite. I had the walleye sandwich which I thought was good, pretty decent. The breading was crispy and fluffy and the walleye wasn't 'super fresh' tasting but it didn't have a fishy taste so 'decent' quality? The bun and presentation of the plate itself was great. It came in a flaky and crisp, but firm bun with fresh romaine lettuce and tartar/white sauce served along side waffle style potato chips. The potato chips seemed to be old and stale and/or soft... :( but the sandwhich itself was solid. Good texture and quality but not really much flavor. I'd say the place was okay but I would be hesitant to try it again unless I was staying at the hotel.

First off, going through the hidden Coke machine entrance is actually really fun and makes the whole place feel like a little adventure. The decor and speakeasy atmosphere are definitely the standout. Very cool space. VERY loud though. Like "lean across the table and say WHAT?" loud at times. The waitress was super nice and recommended a mocktail for me that called Ass in the Sand. It ended up being really good. It tasted like an elevated lemonade and was probably one of my favorite parts of the meal. Started with the rolls and whipped honey butter which were delicious. Very soft, warm, and honestly dangerous because I could've just kept eating bread all night. For the main meal, I did the Wagyu Burger with Parmesan fries. The burger itself was okay but surprisingly didn't have a ton of flavor outside of the grilled/charred taste. The Parmesan fries were actually the standout for me -- hand cut fries and parmesan fries are just hard to mess up. My partner tried the Mushroom Soup en Croute and wasn't a fan because the mushrooms were blended and he said it lacked flavor. He also had a Steak Taco special using their medallion steak and said even with lime it still needed more flavor. Finished with Crème Brûlée which is always a classic favorite for me and this one was good. Overall: fun experience, cool hidden entrance, great decor, good mocktail and bread, but the actual food menu is pretty limited and the flavors didn't totally wow me for the price. Glad I went and finally crossed it off my list, but probably a one-and-done visit for me.
