    60/40 burger
    Denise L.

    Had a nice long layover in MSP and had fond memories of Red Cow. Plopped into a table and my server, Rose, was amazing from beginning to end. Did not expect such great service from an airport joint, but she took care of me beyond expectations. She would see when my soda was low and refill without me asking, and even gave me my refill in a to go cup as I was heading on out! The 60/40 burger was perfectly cooked and very tasty. Fries were perfect and was given ranch upon request. Highly recommend if you are in need of a good meal between flights.

    Red Cow is a must try restaurant in Minneapolis. The double barrel is their signature burger and it's one of the best burgers I've had. I even had the airport location and it was stellar. Don't be afraid to try it due to it being at the airport. The staff is great and it's very clean. I was extremely happy!

    We just flew into town and checked into the Four Seasons and we were hungry. Word on the street is that this place has one of the best cheese curds in Minneapolis. And it's true! We ordered some drinks, the curds, and a veggie burger. The cheese curds are oddly lighter than you'd expect and come with ranch an and a triple berry ketchup which is an amazing condiment with the curds. We had a big dinner reservation so we went lighter with the veggie burger. I was not expecting the veggie burger to be as amazing as it was. The double bean and cashew patty was very well seasoned and with a great texture. The smoked aioli really helped round it out. Our server was extremely sweet and took very good care of us. The selection of beer and wine was y nice. The restaurant itself is very clean and well lit. I was surprised this place wasn't fuller during lunch. All in all, I'd definitely return.

    Yup, I know it's in the middle of the Minneapolis Saint Paul Airport's Terminal 3, but this place is an upgrade from most airport offerings. The key is that they have a pair of places under one heading. Red Cow is a terrific burger shop and Holy Land has GREAT Mediterranean options. Located across from Gate E5, there is plenty of table and bench seating, and you scan to get a look at the menu. I ordered their Gyro plate and I enjoyed it, a tasty combination of yellow seasoned rice with gyro meat and tzatziki sauce. And my server, Hanna, was awesome with excellent menu knowledge and superb customer service.

    The airport version of Red Cow was tempting, as our MN visit was short and we couldn't make it to the local spots in the twin cities . We felt we could satisfy our burger craving at the airport location ! Well it didn't come anywhere close . The ambience was quite nice and the menu a condensed version of the city restaurant . All we ordered was The Double Barrel Burger with a side of Parmesan Truffle fries . While waiting for the food we had to witness an altercation between the bartender and a wait staff , about a drink order and who was right or wrong and one blamed the other that seemed uncalled amidst customers . The burger was cooked not sure if was meant to be medium or medium well as we were not asked how we wanted it . It was served the way they wanted it as we couldn't make out. No specific flavors stood out . Patty was Chewy inside a Soggy bun. The fries were fine with the Parmesan and truffle flavors, with a dipping aioli which was also quite good . We were in and out in 15 minutes which was good for time but also shows how not so great the food was as we didn't really enjoy it like the real deal Red Cow burger . If keeping up with their restaurant quality is challenge at the airport they shouldn't charge almost the same price or maybe little more than their restaurant.

    Grilled cheese and tomato soup!

    This is in the middle of MSP, but since I wasn't in town long enough to make it to the real one it was worth a try! I was not disappointed with the tomato soup and grilled cheese and it really hit the spot. The BBQ chips are actually inside the grilled cheese which made it an interesting bit of crunchy and somewhat unusual. The tomato soup was also quite delicious. Service was quick and the pricing was comparable to everything else. Highly recommended if you're looking for food in the airport.

    Very good burger! I had the 60/40... real meat!! In an airport... what a blessing. I would recommend you stop here as long as you have at least 40min to eat. Would have given 5stars but the cost of airport food and the extra time it took to get the food was the downfall (btw they were not busy). I will go back!

    02/16/2021 - French toast $10 w/ side sausage $3.50
    Anita C.

    (5th review of 2021) I had a 4 1/2 hr layover & kinda had time to kill. What to do, what to do. Hmmm... I need a beer, food, & cheap entertainment to pass the time. When I got there there were only a handfull of people inside. I got there a lil before 7am & they open at 6am. I sat at the bar in the corner & noticed there were several chairs separating 2 seats at a time at the bar. They only allow 2 in each area at the bar. There's a seat w/ a sign for social distancing. They also have several tables blocked off, but if you have a big group you can sit at one of the big tables. I sat down & asked the bartender, Molly, for a menu. Molly is quick witted & super funny! She will definitely keep you entertained. She has a wicked sense of humor too. Entertainment, check. I looked over the menu & before I could order anything Molly named off several items that they didn't have available. Aww shucks! There were all the items that I wanted. Ok well then, I'll get the $10 french toast & added sausages (about $3-$4 addon). It's an airport, so I expected the price to be a bit high. The food was simple yet good. I also got the Belching Beaver Milk Stout Nitro beer. There was a bunch more people that came & went over the time I was there. Unfortunately Molly seemed to be the only waitress/bartender on staff. There was an older gentleman that was helping, but it seemed he was more of a busboy? Maybe? Not sure tho. Molly was running all over the place trying to tend to everyone at the bar & at the tables all over the restaurant. Being on that side of the bar, I was wondering why there weren't at least another waitress there to help her cause she was BUSY! I was in no rush so I wasn't worried. There were other people there that were waiting for their flights & we got to talkin. Go back? Heck yeah!! Jus for the entertainment from Molly! That's a no brainer. Hopefully the next time I can get one of the burgers cause I saw plenty people order em. Go try em out & tell Molly I say hi. A Hui Hou!!

    A nearly finished Blues Burger....SO GOOD!
    Kathy P.

    Clean, efficient, great staff and great burgers. The Blues Burger is awesome and I'm not even a blue cheese fan. The apricot, rosemary pepper jam is yummy! We will be back!

    Really good burger for airport food. I was impressed!
    Andy R.

    The place was mobbed but we found three open stool seats. The server was very patient and helpful. I would totally lose my shiznit dealing with fussy travelers all day, but she was calm and friendly. Bravo, Red Cow staff! The burger was surprisingly good for airport food. Better than a downtown burger. Veggies were fresh, bun was tasty, and good fries! Well done Red Cow, a good burger basket, you betcha!

    It's really gotten tough to get a good meal at MSP what with the airport officials kicking out all the true local purveyors and replacing them with pseudo-local (at least locally branded) spots run by big food service conglomerates like Aramark or Marriott. The vast majority of places are shallow representations of their original outposts. All that said, despite the very limited selection, the ultimate burgers we had here were pretty good and hit the spot. The fries aren't the ones at the city places but they gave us a lot and there's not really any atmosphere but it's still worth the short walk down the very quiet E concourse if you just gotta have a juicy indulgent burger before heading out.

    Came into Red Cow one morning to wolf down some breakfast before my flight home. Ordered the hash browns, bacon and eggs (over easy). Took a little while for the food to arrive - they were pretty busy. Food was hot and tasty. #RedCow

My tickets were for 8, but I didn't get to go in until 9 because the line was slow. We did get to see two showings of an aerialist in line, which did help make it a bit more bearable. However, you figure out that the line is so slow because they do a good job of keeping each group small and spaced out, allowing you to enjoy the haunted house at your own pace. The house was actually a well decorated maze, so it was a puzzle trying to figure out where to go. The actors cannot touch you, but there was a good amount of jump scares. We ended up taking 20-25 minutes to go through the maze. There were also a couple photo opportunities inside. We exited into a gift shop and went to the bar which had a drag show (i think this was a special and isn't a regular occurrence, so it was a nice surprise). i also love that there were lots of photo ops outside. I didn't pay for my tickets and $40 sounds a little steep but it was fun, and I'm seeing some discounts available for specific dates and MEA weekend, so I would say it's worth it if you find a discount day!

For a…read moreweeknight, it was getting pretty full by the time we strolled in, but luckily we were still able to secure a table for four. The space itself isn't terribly large, and it looked like there were only three or four people working that evening. After being seated, it took a while before we were able to order our first round of drinks. Normally I don't focus much on service in reviews, but we could immediately tell our waitress was not having a great night. We were forgotten about a few times, but eventually managed to order some small bites, including a charcuterie board and some pretty yummy cheese curds. When we finally caught her for our second round, I complimented her glasses since they were similar to mine, partially in an attempt to cheer her up. I was met with a glare and a mumbled "thanks." When she walked away, all four of us kind of looked at each other like... dang, we're not sure what we did. Having all worked in service ourselves, we try to be respectful, stack our dishes, wipe up after ourselves, and generally make things easier where we can. Oddly enough, when it came time to pay, she returned with a completely different attitude... suddenly cheerful, friendly, and telling us to have a great night. Honestly, the whole interaction was a little bizarre! Service aside, the cocktails were balanced and genuinely good, the food was slightly elevated and hit the spot, and the atmosphere was great, especially with the DJ playing that night. We decided to Uber since we knew we'd be drinking, so I can't speak firsthand to parking, although it looked like street parking could be moderately difficult depending on the night. I'd still go back if I were in the area and the night warranted it. My guess is we caught them on an off night or they ended up busier than anticipated.

I could write an entire review naming all the individual security, door people, servers, managers, and bartenders that are all top notch but it's basically everyone! I mean they do a tough job but always professional and with a smile and even when they are slammed busy the servers and bartenders and security are still very polite and professional. On weekends the music / DJ can be hit or miss. I've been there with some amazingly great DJ's playing and dance floor packed and other nights....well not so much. The food and appetizers there are really good. In six plus years of me going there I've heard ONE person a single time make one semi-negative comment about their food. It was that he thought his hamburger was a little greasy. He still ate the entire meal, he just said that after. Every other person I've seen for more than half a decade eating there has been happy or thrilled with their meal or appetizer! The pool, darts, video games area gets busy and good crowd. The pool and dart machines are usually in good shape and busy. As far as the negative, the drink prices are on the high side ($7 for a domestic bottled beer, and a Vodka drink is $12 or more). I know several people who quit going there because drinks got too expensive. The second issue, is the carpet in the pool and dart area that is worn down to the padding and is sticky to walk on which is not an attractive quality for a food service establishment. If I had the owners/GM's ear I'd say you get a high five and pat on the pack for hiring great staff all around, doing a wonderful job on the food. I'd encourage you to lower drink prices and put in some new carpet in the gaming area.

    Great food in a fun atmosphere. Ordered fried pickles and the steak salad. Both were delish.read more
