So fun sitting at the bar at Red Cow - it's like dinner and a show watching the bar tenders whip up drinks. The guys behind the bar were fun chatting with too. We started with Ahi Tuna Crisp appetizer - we substituted the cracker for cucumber. This twist makes it so fresh. The sauce is a bit tangy and avocado balances the tuna. So yummy! I opted for a cheeseburger - very good smash burger. I have had the Double Double in the past and that is probably my favorite burger with two smash burger patties, cheese and special sauce. Can't miss on the regular fries. Crispy and delicious! read more

It was time for my monthly dinner with a friend, and she chose Red Cow. A longtime ago, I remember coming here for brunch, but it had been so many years that I barely remembered it. I made a last-minute reservation online, which was quick and seamless. Parking was easy enough, there's a small lot, plus plenty of street parking options. We were seated right away when we arrived, though unfortunately at a very small two-person table with very limited space. It worked out, but next time I'd definitely request something a bit roomier. We arrived during happy hour but skipped it since we didn't want to spoil our meals. For dinner, I ordered the double barrel burger with a side of fries, and my friend got the fried chicken sandwich with a side of fries. I enjoyed my meal, however, my friend thought the food was very salty and that maybe the chicken sandwich was fried in the same oil as the fish as it didn't taste much like chicken. We thought the portions were big enough that we had leftovers to take home. Service was just okay...nothing particularly memorable. The most uncomfortable part of the experience was our table location right by the door. It felt like people were constantly hovering nearby or watching us while waiting for a table, which made it a bit awkward. Almost like we better hurry up and eat. Overall, a decent meal. read more

Had a great time at Red Cow St. Paul! Our server was timely, attentive and informative. The food, including the recommendation of the Le Shroom burger, was lovely. Had a cozy, dimly lit vibe with many people there to celebrate St. Pattys day read more

Burgers always great bring guests here to show the fabulous cuisine you can get in st. Paul

The food itself is excellent. They have a wide variety of options and they seem to do well with all of them. However, I would not recommend this restaurant for takeout. We have tried three times and each time the order was incorrect. On the third try, they left out one of the burgers. I reached out to them and never received anything -- not an apology or a credit for the missing food. I just don't think they are set up for takeout -- it's a rather hectic atmosphere and it seems to be more than they can handle. read more

Super good. Although I did ask for a small wine and got a big one. Burgers were great, my 3 year old ate all of his and asked for more which is rare! read more

Fun place good beer selection Happy hour menu was excellent I sat at the bar great service Had the 60/40 sliders and truffle fries Well worth it and made for a great meal I want to come back to try some of the other offerings read more

I was surprised at this place. I was visiting and we walked for miles looking around and needed somewhere for lunch on the weekend. Found this place and it had good reviews on Google so we stopped in. The avocado toast was awesome, I loved the huevos divorcos or something like that and my husband got this funny burger with peanut butter and it was oddly good too. The buffalo cauliflower was delish, but a TINY portion for what you pay. Would I come back? yes. The service was great and it was a fun spot for a weekend brunch. read more

I hadn't been to Red Cow in a while, so I was surprised to see the menu change. They added a few new items I'm excited to try, though. Tonight, we ordered the 60/40 with sweet potato fries and the Patty Melt. Everything was great, except the sweet potato fries weren't as crispy as I would have liked. The restaurant was pretty empty, so we grabbed a seat right at the bar, and the service was great. They even offered us the Valentine's Day specials a day early. We didn't take advantage, but the s'mores looked pretty tempting. We love the beer selection at Red Cow--there are always plenty of options. read more

St. Paul is filled with many eateries but this one is a great one for locals and tourists. We had the cheese curds, which of course were delicious. For entree we chose burgers. Can't go wrong with any of their options. I will say, it is very busy inside and outside. Come prepared with a lot of patience. We had some difficulty finding parking, but we managed to find a spot around the corner. Inside it's roomy with a bar on the first floor. There is a second level with more space to dine. Definitely worth a stop on your trip. read more

Red Cow St. Paul - Nice wine menu! - Burgers Near Me - St Paul, Minnesota

Fun Happy Hour! We tried all of their HH Appetizers and had a great time admiring their classy holiday decor. Highly recommend their SLIDERS and STRAWBERRY FRESNO MARGARITAS. Service was top notch! We stayed extra long and ordered another bottle of wine and our servers never hurried us. Happy Hour things we tried: CHIPS & DIP - (4/5) sour cream based dip was fabulous with house fried potato chips AHI TUNA CRISPS (5/5) beautiful and flavor packed! Highly recommend. OYSTERS (3/5) average. Loved that this was an option for happy hour. LETTUCE WRAPS (4/5) substantial amount of chicken skewers with a peanut satay sauce and crunchy crushed peanuts. TRUFFLE FRIES (4/5) pretty good but this was the only app we didn't finish bc everything else was so good. SLIDERS (5/5) we tried both the double barrel and 60/40 flavors and they were equally delicious. RED WINE (3/5) standard but a nice price at happy hour. STRAWBERRY FRESNO MARGARITA (5/5) both beautiful and delicious, served in a cute cactus shaped margarita glass. The only app we skipped was BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER... bc who needs veggies at happy hour? read more

I'm a huge fan of the St. Paul Red Cow location, I always enjoy the food, drinks and exceptional service!

We needed somewhere to eat and this restaurant was a few miles away. Because it was early for dinner we were immediately seated. We were upstairs. Our waitress was amazing, attentive and knowledgeable. I had water and my husband had beer. We decided to have an appetizer, split a salad and then split a bowl. The kitchen actually sent our salad and bowl out already split. The food was well seasoned. I loved the spice they added to the apple Brie toast. Both the salad and bowl were so good. I would definitely come back. There were a few more things on the menu I wanted to try. The decor is cute with the cow theme. If it's possible I would make a reservation. They were really filling up as we were leaving. read more

My sister-in-law had her Naturalization ceremony in St. Paul so we wanted a place to eat afterwards. I had heard the Red Cow was known for its burgers so we chose it for Arlin's brother who was in town from Vancouver. Glad we were able to find parking in the small lot! This venue has an outdoor patio which we considered but it was a little too humid. The service - once they made a table for 8 - was exceptional. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive. Cheese curds for the table were a hit! My hubby and niece had the 60/40 burger (beef & bacon) and while they liked it, the candied bacon topping was a little too sweet. The burgers are thick so if you like a beefy patty, these are for you! The grilled cheese I had was the best I've eaten in a long time. Overall a successful outing! read more

I recently checked out Red Cow on Selby in Saint Paul, and this place was a vibe! I never knew it had two floors, so it was pretty nice to dine on the second floor for my date--it was a bit quieter up there. I started off with the ahi crisps, which were sooooooo good! I was tempted to order a second round, but I realized I had to save space for the burger. I don't recall the exact burger I had, but I remember the bacon on it was delicious! This location was great overall. Service was good and our waiter had great recommendations. Parking can be challenging sometimes since it's street parking, but I'd definitely go back! read more

I'm from California. Stumbled upon Red Cow a few years ago while in town for a conference. Always good. Always great servers. Great drinks. And the double barrel burger is top notch. This was my first time at this location and it lived up to the others. We walked in at 5:30 and it was already packed. Great vibes and great food. read more

It's like a sports bar feel on the main level with additional seating upstairs. Burgers are fantastic, very juicy, one of the best that I've had I think - and I've had my share of yummy burgers. . Service was kind of slow - not sure if it's a result being upstairs, but we also had a ton of orders as well with our larger group. I think it's generally kid friendly on the upper level - they do have some high chairs etc available. They kept the kids busy with some crayons for drawing. read more

I can never say enough about this restaurant and this location. The service is always great and I love the fact that you could go in here anytime of day during business hours and find anything on the menu whether it's for A business lunch, for happy hour during the game or for date night. This particular time I went for a quick lunch and what better for a brisk Fall Day then grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. But this was not like any other grilled cheese and tomato soup.. This creamy tomato basil soup was so rich, creamy and flavorful and the grilled cheese... Well it had at least two if not three cheeses perfectly grilled Texas toast and the most perfect crunch of bacon It was the perfect comfort meal if there ever was one. I would highly recommend trying this duo out!! read more

I've been this year for lunch a couple times recently and enjoyed their Red Cow salad and BLT. The BLT did not skimp on the Bacon, which was much appreciated. We were in a rush one day and they were able to accommodate us, but the food took a while. I would not say service is the fastest, but the food is fresh! read more

Cool atmosphere and hip servers don't fix a sirloin steak that, even when it's cooked right, is hard to cut with a steak knife and even harder to chew...everything else was pretty good but avoid the steak...it's a sirloin and the only steak option on their menu. I'd gladly pay more for a ribeye or skirt steak (just in case the owner and manager is reading this). read more

Went Friday night - place was hopping. Very good service Burgers were good; ahi tuna appetizers and cheese curds also very good. Buffalo cauliflower was a let down; tomato soup was no good at all: thick like a pasta sauce. read more

Turkey burger and the Ultimate burger were ok. I wish there wasn't so much pork incorporated into the burgers bc it's a deal breaker for me. Usually a busy place so people seem to enjoy it. I've gone twice but would go back to try other items, just feels like a shame not to experience more burgers. read more

Food was ahhhhamazing! We had onion dip, loved how the potatoes slices came vvv hot and fresh although our entrees took a bit long but it came steaming hot fresh so it was all okay! We had chicken tenders and 60/40 burger which is 60% beef and 40% bacon, and it was ridiculously good! I loveddddd the sweet potatoes fries, one of the best I've tried!! The server also went beyond to communicate and ensure which is nuts free for my friend who's allergic to nuts, so it's nuts free friendly place! Awesome experience! & the place was sleek, cute, and very clean! Food was so good that we didn't take pictures before we gulp them up, shoot! read more

I recently tried their brunch. The Hollywood sandwich was phenomenal! Other duly noted mentions, the grilled cheese and tomato soup.

I love coming to red cow a lot because of their burgers and specifically the blues. Service was great and we were able to sit down right away. The road was closed because of construction so we had to park a little bit farther away. Both the Swiss burger. I had the aqua fresca which is always delicious and I'm glad that you can have a great selection of non alcoholic drinks. We had the avocado cheesecake for dinner and it was really good. My fiancé was a tree but allergy and didn't think that the avocado cheese cake had nuts because the ingredients on the menu weren't listed as avocado cheesecake with walnuts so we thought the dessert would be okay. Once we finish the dessert my fiancé starts getting a funny feeling in his mouth and decides to ask our server if it had nits and she says walnuts. At this point we know we have to go to the emergency room. Our server is obviously freaked out and feels really bad. We didn't have an epi pen so we searched for the bearers hospital. She told us if we could call and give an update and I said yes. We were able to get to the emergency room in time and ended up staying there passed midnight. It wasn't the evening we expected but I did call and gave an update that my fiancé was able to get the medical help he needed. I am going to be asking more if food has nuts because now I feel like even if something on the menu doesn't say it has nuts there can be a possibility that it does and it sucks to have to be asking a lot more now instead of being able to see on the menu all the meal has. read more

This was a cool looking spot with a good size bar and outdoor seating. The menu had a lot of different burger choices including a few sandwiches and bar menu options as well. The service was appreciated as the food arrived quickly. For an appetizer, the Japanese sticky wings were ordered. There were eight wings to an order, and they came out hot and extremely crispy. There was also a side aioli sauce that went well with the wings. The Japanese sauce was tasty, just enough spice to not make it too sweet. For an entrée, I had the Barcelona burger. It came with manchego, prosciutto, a piquillo pepper, and a smoked pepper aioli. It also came with a side of fries that were solid. I opted for the burger to be medium rare, but it was more of a medium, not a huge deal. The burger to bun ratio was ideal while the toppings were satisfying. They were interesting, but definitely went well with the patty and each other. Will I go back? I would. read more

Hands down, all time favorite burger joint in the Twin Cities. Fairly confident I've tried a majority of the burgers on the menu and they are all good, but my go-to is the Double Barrel. With the truffle fries. The service is always impressive. The food is quality. Parking can sometimes be a bit tricky but it's worth it. The patio is fantastic during the summer. Can't say enough good things about this hometown favorite. Double Barrel read more

It was an excellent day to take lunch in the outdoor patio. I selected the Double Barrel smash burger and chicken rice soup. I enjoyed the burger and usually don't call out the burger bun.

Came here on a snowy weekend day and there was enough space for a large group. We were seated upstairs and had plenty of space to eat and move around. The service was still good even though we were upstairs. We were waiting for more people to join the meal and while waiting the waiter came to check on us, without rushing our order either. For dinner we ordered the Ultimate and the Double Barrel burgers. Both of these burgers were fantastic, juicy and perfectly cooked and great seasoning. We also got Wisconsin Cheese curds and Elote Shishito Peppers. Both were great as well. The cheese curds were well fried and the batter on it was not overwhelming. The shishito peppers had a lot of flavor and were good with the elote seasoning to it. It added a great compliment to it. Never would have thought to combine the elote flavors with shishito peppers. Overall a good experience. They do have a an added surcharge for all checks, a 4.9% Mandate Compliance Surcharge. This was the only restaurant in the area that we experienced that had this. read more
