Great burgers, with an amazing holiday display and Christmas photo-op area! A bit pricey for burgers, but I do think it's one of the best burgers I've had in a while. My friend's Double Barrel burger looked amazing, but the burger to bread ratio was a bit too high for me. I got the plain Jane Cheeseburger (4/5) and thought it was pretty good with a nice crisp on the smashed burger patty. I also had a side of tomato soup (3/5) and it was served with these delicious crispy crackers. The crackers were better than the soup though. Service was friendly and on par with their competitors. I was too full for dessert, but wished I had room for that shareable smores dessert to share with friends!

Cheese fondue

I dined here on Sunday night in their festive room which was a very fun experience, the decorations were stellar. The service was somewhat poor. She/they would disappear for extensive times and our entrees came out one or two minutes after our appetizer came out. The food was decent! We got the cheese fondue which was good, fondue is always gonna be fun and hard to mess up. For entrees, we got the Le Shroom burger, 60/40 burger, sweet potato fries, and truffle fries. This is one of the establishments where fries do not come with the burger. The burgers were very good; they were worth the hype with quality ingredients. The fries weren't anything special but did the trick.

Chicken & Waffles

We had been to their other locations before and loved them, so when we needed a brunch spot before the Pride Parade, we looked no further than Red Cow Uptown!! There's plenty of parking in the lot next to the restaurant, which is super clutch given how difficult parking can be in Uptown. We arrived at 10:15am on Sunday and we were the only ones there, so it was pretty easy to get a table. Our server was super friendly and able to keep up quite well with our sassy table of six. I had the Chicken and Waffles, which was quite yummy! Perfect blend of sweet and salty with appropriate serving size to feel satisfied but not stuffed. I would absolutely order again!

Steak Frites
Kristin L.

Loved the intimate ambiance of this restaurant, enhanced by low lighting and candlelight. Service was stellar: we had relatively large group with a lot of questions and the waitstaff was professional and friendly. But I am burying the lead: the food was amazing! I had the steak frites and it blew my mind. The steak was perfectly tender and seasoned well. I paired my meal with a red Zinfandel that enhanced every bite. We were a full, happy group at the end of the evening. Bon appetite!

Gingerbread White Russian, didn't taste like gingerbread but good. Cranberry Margarita was tasty.

The Red Nose Room was festive. The drinks were tasty. The food at the Red Cow is consistent and good. Service was cheerful and efficient. Loses a star since HH is apparently not available now until end of January so it's a little pricy for apps in my opinion.

Every time I come here I have the best experience. I usually sit at the bar and I feel lucky to have the best bartenders! They're always personable and friendly with great recommendations. The ahi crisps are my go to whenever I go but everything on the menu has been good in the past! I love that they have a variety of cocktails that are unique and not just basic drinks. It's a nice place to go for dinner but I enjoy the happy hour the most. It's usually pretty relaxed and a nice hangout spot. I appreciate that they have a parking lot so it's convenient to get there! The restaurant is always clean and well kept as well. This is from October so I'm not sure if the drinks are on the menu still but they were both very good!

The festive decorations give it a nice charm. We ordered the Turkey burger and fried chicken sandwich. The turkey burger was perfection! The Nashville Hot dry rub on the fried chicken sandwich is indeed quite spicy. Nolan did a great job checking in pre-order and after we received our food. It was not very busy while we were there but we were there at lunch time on a Tuesday. Overall, we had a great experience.

Pop up bar
Amanda W.

My friend and I chose to visit the Red Cow in Uptown for their holiday Rose Nose Room pop-up bar! We arrived at about 5:30pm on a Friday and the bar was already in full swing. We had mixed feelings about the pop-up bar. The themed bar was help on their enclosed patio. It was absolutely packed, there weren't many high tops to stand at and absolutely no seating other than one table in the back, or the photo backdrop. The themed cocktail menu wasn't overly enticing with a lot of cinnamon flavored drinks, we chose to just go with wine and champagne. The wait for a 2 person table ended up being about 45 minutes which I understand for a Friday, but so early in the evening was a bit surprising. The fun part was their super cute Santa's chair photo station! It was super festive and they had plenty of props to use. The food and drinks at the restaurant were nice as always. This being my first winter themed pop-up bar I wasn't super impressed unfortunately.

Ski chalet

This is such a magical place during the end of the year! They go all out with tons of holiday spirit! They have specialty drinks in holiday mugs and kitchy glasses. The entire place is decorated from top to bottom with tinsel, lights and balls! The main menu available all year round has amazing burgers and sides. You will find quality meat, coupled with delicious jams, spreads, cheese, bacon and so much more. Don't sleep on the grilled cheese with tomato soup on those cold nights. They pack.chips into the sandwich just like I did as a kid! The bar is spacious and has many tvs if you'd like to watch a game here year round as well. The staff are the best, with quick service, good attitudes and smiles!

Patty melt with sweet potato fries
Hallie O.

Red Cow always hits the spot! I love everything on their menu. The sweet potato fries are always a vibe. The service has always been great... I could go on and on! Parking is annoying to have to find. They also do not have any free parking options to my knowledge. But otherwise it is so great.

Festive cocktails: left is a gingerbread white Russian, right is a rum based "tropical" drink.

Came to Red Cow with two friends for dinner at their Holiday themed restaurant/bar. Overall the experience was great! Our server was upbeat and whimsical. It was very busy and took over 30 minutes to be seated - but they are walk-in only so that's to be expected. The staggering of our drinks, app, and meals was perfect timing - the chips were hot and the Cuban sandwich was fresh. All the festive cocktails were $16 and not worth that imo, but it's fun that they're served in festive cups. They collect your ID as collateral and we had to remind our server to return them. Seems like a messy process. Overall enjoyed our evening at Red Cow Uptown! I will definitely return to this location again.

I'm quite torn about how to rate this place. A plus for the over the top holiday decorations and special menu. I loved the frozen cranberry margarita - not too sweet, which is always my concern. The SantaGria came in a charming little ornament glass, but the drink itself was so so. The smores tray was amazing - highly recommend for a large group! The biggest disappointment came from the regular menu - the tuna poke bowl. I've had it other Red Cow locations, but this one was really disappointing. The tuna was barely thawed. The chunks were all stuck together in an almost frozen hunk. Not good. Hence the lower rating. I was impressed with how well the staff handled the crowds on a crazy busy evening. I do love the Red Cow/Red Rabbit restaurants but this was not my best experience. I'd still recommend the holiday pop-up, just avoid the Tuna.

Holiday cocktails
Natalie W.

I love red cow. Their food is delish. Their holiday cocktails are so good and presentation is great. Service was amazing per usual. We got the Santa sangria and the mulled cider. Both delightful. Their Christmas pop up was so festive and well done. They do have a bar off to the side decorated as a ski chalet. They do have a couple cocktails out there that are not available at the regular bar. Lots of cute photo ops available. If you're looking for a good Xmas "pop up" with good drinks and food, I would highly recommend red cows uptown location.

This place is a hidden gem, but make sure you plan ahead to get there. Their website says that they…read morehave 10 parking spots dedicated for the restaurant, but that isn't completely true. We got to the parking garage, lots of spots left for the restaurant but there was a valet there and said all those spots are actually reserved for the valet. We ended up parking across the street near the lake. Once inside, it's a very nice vibe with beautiful furniture and lots of natural light. They have great happy hour menu - we started with the shrimp appetizer which as flavorful and the shrimp was plump and well cooked. We also got the burger and the Waterbury salad. Burger was good, but the salad was a bit basic; I was expecting more bacon and more blue cheese dressing, it was mostly just basic iceberg lettuce which is not awesome for $13. I also tried the Hugo spritz which was refreshing but a bit sweet for my taste. I will for some come back to try more things!

Wow!!! I saw an online recommendation for the breakfast burrito from Waterbury so I picked it up…read morefor brunch before a walk around the lake and immediately texted probably half my contacts list that they need to go get it immediately!! This breakfast burrito is packed full of everything you could ever want including wagyu steak (instead of the traditional bacon or sausage, so it's not greasy at all), avocado, eggs, potatoes, and cheese. It even came with a side salad and salsa to dip it in! For $15-16 it was a large portion and easily was 2 meals. I ordered online for pickup and it was ready quickly at the counter but the restaurant also looked cute inside so I would be interested in stopping in for a meal sometime too! They also have a coffee bar (pistachio latte was good) and free indoor parking for restaurant customers).

First time trying out this place. Wooden Ship is a very small niche brewery situated in the middle…read moreof residential white picket fence heaven, if you're into that sort of thing. In fact a neighbor across from the patio was literally painting his white picket fence! So, it's a unique setup for a mpls brewery taproom from the start. I walked in and was assaulted by a sickeningly sweet smell. Not sure if that's them brewing up their beet beer (beet beer--WHY?!) We both ordered the Saison. It had decent belgian notes but it was half-flat and a little sweet for my taste. It's nice they have a patio but it's beset by constant traffic from 44th St on one side and a parking lot with porta pottys on the other. Not exactly getting any fresh air. Moreover, the seating at picnic tables and high tops with cheap un-cushioned bar stools felt pretty half assed but that went along with the overall theme. They allow outside food and had a food truck operating when we went there which was a plus. Ultimately neither one of us were thrilled with our first tap so we bailed. Can't speak on the entire tap line but unlikely we will come back unless our friends ask us to. So almost nearly there in every respect but not quite. 3.75/5 rounding up to 4.
