Overall a great spot for some healthy delicious food. For veggie toppings, broccoli, eggplant, mushroom, and bean sprouts were good. I remember liking the bamboo very much the first time but they changed something the 2nd time and now it's not good ( flavor weirder now). Would def stop by again!

We tried making our own with noodle and four toppings and rice with four toppings of your choice. Dine in or to go choice. Bowl was very good for the price. Noodle versus rice really depended on what one preferred. No real service, just workers behind counter putting chosen toppings on what was ordered. Self serve utensils, napkins, and water. Bus your own trash & bowls. No ambiance, more of an eat and go type place. Not enough seating so very fortunate to find two metal stool seats in shared bench table. Overall, 3 stars out of 5.

For an oyster lover, when I paid literally $70 for a dozen of nice sized oysters... I was kind of taken aback ( I've dined at 5-star restaurants that don't charge nearly this much... a dozen of top of the line oysters normally run between $48-$56 ) On the other hand, the crab cake and fries hit the spot. The highlight of the meal was actually the fries ( delicious ) The service at the Cowbell was friendly and accommodating for sure... just not sure if doing anything outside of the platters makes financial sense. Union Market has a very vibrant atmosphere and the Cowbell lends its own unique taste to the overall ambiance.

Reporting live from this dumpster fire of a place because that's how pissed I am…read more This is a "wait until the waiter comes and takes your order" kind of place, and that's fine. Our waiter was...not great. His demeanor was cool, but that's was the only positive. We ordered a soft shell crab po boy, a catfish platter, and 3 waters. I asked for a side salad instead of the coleslaw. For the other entree, we added a side salad as well. Took about 8 mins for the food to come out so that was cool. The first thing we noticed was the salad. Go look at the pictures. This isn't something that should be served to humans...maybe a rabbit would eat it. The server walked about 3 feet away and was talking to someone else. Took his time coming back when I gave him the nod but whatever. Told him that the salad was atrocious and shouldn't be served to patrons. He was indifferent, but asked if we wanted anything else. I asked for the baked beans, and she asked for fries. I also asked for hot sauce. After some time, he brought the pitiful kids sized sample of hot sauce. I then asked for ketchup. Bout 10 minutes goes by. We're watching our server and he's meandering around, behind the bar talking. Cool. I go and stand at the countertop hoping someone will come over and give me the ketchup. Nope, nothing. I see our server talk to one lady, she shakes her head. Then the lady talks to another dude. He then shakes his head. I'm still standing there, no one comes over. I walked away. Dude came back with a new set of fries and ketchup on that, but no hot sauce, no baked beans, no ketchup. At this point I'm completely through. My lady went and talked to the male about the salad, and he agreed that it shouldn't have come out at all. She asked if something could be done to adjust the bill, he said okay and walked away. He comes over with a new receipt and he removed the side salad. She started talking to him about the charges and when he started responding in a manner that let me know he wasn't going to back down and would continue to argue, I just said thanks and signed the receipt. The initial bill was 74.82. After adjustment it was 68.88. Neither of these prices were worth paying. Save your money folks, there's a reason this place only has 3 stars. Oh, the catfish and the bottled water were good, but that's it.

Grabbing an Original Chili Dog from here would seem like a suspect idea before boarding a flight, but the quality of the food is great and the staff are very friendly.

This was, without question, the worst half-smoke I've ever had. I grew up eating Ben's Chili Bowl,…read moreso I know what it's supposed to taste like, and this was nothing like what I remember. The half-smoke appeared undercooked, and I honestly couldn't tell if it had been fully cooked at all. The texture was unpleasant, and the chili lacked the flavor and quality I expected. The entire meal was disappointing, and I couldn't finish it. It's really unfortunate because Ben's Chili Bowl has such a long history and was once one of my favorite places. Based on this experience, the food quality has declined significantly. I hope management takes customer feedback seriously and improves the consistency and quality of the food. I grew up just blocks away from U street and I'm disappointed the half smoke tastes uncooked like microwaved not from a grill.

The fries were great but the chicken was soo bland I couldn't finish it. I even added syrup and that couldn't save it. My sister ordered the garlic Parmesan chicken wings, old Bay chicken wings and garlic Parmesan fries. The wings are hands-down the best thing to order, especially the old Bay flavor. I didn't try to go to garlic Parmesan wings but my sister said the seasoning didn't penetrate into the chicken so she prefers the old Bay flavor. The garlic Parmesan fries were good. Overall, I think the safest bet is to stick with the wings and fried here only.

The restaurant is well-it and clean and they have duck, soy, and mustard on the counter so customers can grab as much as they want. SO much better than the spots that charge per pack. A really nice touch! The food is good. I got shrimp egg foo yung and hoped that it would have been more flavorful. It seemed to be lacking seasoning. Not salt, but something to add a richer flavor. BUT the gravy was not super heavy and cloying like it is at other places. So it does taste fresh. Same with the broccoli. It was a tad too crunchy, but that also made it seem fresh. A little more seasoning on the egg foo yung and a few more minutes on the broccoli and this spot could become my go to!

My driver gets there a bit after 12 and literally no truck in sight,My driver was kind enough to circle around two blocks 3 times!!! Just to make sure we didn't over look or maybe see they had to station somewhere else.NOTHING! This was disappointing again because my mother is a southern Nav. And since moving up here 4 years ago we look for consistent and authentic if not close to soul food which has been a lil hard to find. Last,Moving forward to try and give it a try again it's closed and unavailable yet states online,Maps and also their own platform that they are open.Whoever is running this business needs a lot more work on transparency,Consistency and overall Honesty with the public on Hours and Location (Food Truck) especially when you have an audience who dedicates their time to travel just to see what the "Hype" is about. I'm no longer interested in trying the food but I just wanted to shine light on how poor the communication has been.
