We came to The Cow after a group workout event at Red Rocks and it was a nice way to fuel post workout. We did have a large group with us so there was a bit of wait. The parking lot is very limited so we parked on the street. This place is very busy. It was about a 40 minute wait and our group was split because the place is quite small. Food is okay. It wasn't memorable. They do come in large portions so it is a lot of food. Might be best to share one meal and order a side or something. But if you're eating post workout, it is quite nice. Overall, it's not too bad. I don't know if I would come back personally due to the long wait times. I tried coming again at a later time and for 2 people, it was an hour wait. read more

Solid 3.5 but I'll give benefit of the doubt. Good food, period. Nothing special and maybe a little overhyped. Ice cream is probably the most underwhelming part of the experience. read more

LOVED the soft serve here, as it comes in huge portions at an unbeatable price! I ordered a small (which appeared more like a large imo) for just $2.50. Even though there isn't a wide range of flavors (chocolate, vanilla, or swirl), there are some fun customization options: cherry or chocolate dip, sprinkles, or both. The location is incredible as well; right by a nice trail with red rock views! read more

The Cow is a great place to relax, enjoy good food and sip on a beer! This last time we went up, we sat outside on their well covered (and very clean) patio next to the river. Beautiful! I had The Colorado, which may be my new favorite!! The grilled chilies were so packed with deliciousness! Did I mention the tots... perfectly crispy and amazing! Our server was wonderful! I think they only hire the friendliest people! Next time, I want to try the Macaroni and Cheese Grilled Cheese!!! (Wanted to order it this time but had a craving for green chilies instead!) read more

We like the outdoor patio and tempura mushrooms (the aioli/watery mayo is questionable) and the guac is a large serving, but we're consistently disappointed with dinner. The grilled cheese are lightly toasted texas toast with 2 pieces of barely melted american cheese, the mac & cheese tastes like milk and noodles, and the burgers typically come out cooked beyond the request (rare = medium, medium = well, etc). We've been going to the Morrison location for 10+ years in the summer so we've given it the benefit of the doubt time and time again, but we're finally over it and won't be back. read more

We visited for breakfast after watching the sunrise at red rocks. It's just a couple miles away in Morrison so more than convenient. It's easy to find off the main drag, and although the parking lot is small, it's free and I had no problem getting my full size truck parked there. I had the spotted cow which was delicious, the coffee was good and we also got the omelette, which was tasty as well. The inside is kind of quaint and rustic with a lot of humorous paraphernalia on the walls, fun place for sure. Service was great and we would happily go again. read more

Really cute place, very rustic. It's the perfect breakfast spot for the area, decent prices for the portions and pretty good food. The people working there are really friendly too. We didn't order it but the breakfast burrito is huge!! Definitely a steal and can feed probably 2-3 people depending on how hungry you are. read more

This was a disappointing meal. It came as a top rated spot on yelp for breakfast and in the local area. This was our first stopped after landing in Denver and we needed breakfast. This inside was a cute charming but freezing cold cafe. I started with an apple cider that they throw an entire cinnamon stick in. It was good but the entire cup was sticky for some reason on the outside. I ordered the build you own omelette with shredded potatoes and sourdough toast. First off the toast was not sourdough it tasted like stale white bread. I know sourdough because I have a small business at home in which I make sourdough and that was not it. The omelette was very watery and the amount of cubed ham inside was not edible. The cheese and spinach inside was not even cooked. The shredded potatoes were alright but needed so much salt to be decent. My boyfriend ordered the breakfast burrito it was horrible. The entire inside was undercooked unseasoned breakfast potatoes. There was maybe about two pieces of sausage inside and it was drowned in sauce. Conveniently all the waitstaff seemed to disappear after our food came out and we were starving so we attempted to eat about half of our horrible meals. Then trying to get a staff member to pay the bill was next to impossible as I tried to flag someone down twice and no one came to the table. It was maybe about 20 minutes before someone finally came over. Parking is a very small tight lot or paid street parking. Save yourself a trip and find a better spot for breakfast. This was such a disaster and not worth the experience. read more

The Cow An Eatery - 2 egg breakfast w/ one pancake instead of toast and a cowboy casserole - Diners Near Me - Morrison, Colorado

This place is right near the red rocks amphitheater and has a unique selection of food. From grilled cheese or Mac and cheese to burritos or tacos. It took a bit for us to get seated and make sure you have your ID because they card everyone. That also delayed our service for quite a while. The place is simple and there were quite a few people both inside or using the outside seating. I ordered the Reuben and my wife had the grilled ham and cheese. The Reuben was perfectly cooked and quite good. The French fries were a unique cut and also well done. We also tried their hot sauce and I purchased the garlic Serrano which was something different and very flavorful. Certainly a good option for lunch if you're in the area. read more

We stopped in for brunch before hiking at red Rocks. The wait wasn't too long and the patio is dog friendly! It was also enclosed and heat which was perfect for the chilly morning on the day that we went. One interesting thing here is that the service is team service so you don't have just one dedicated waiter/waitress. Food was good though and good portions! read more

Too bad, This is in a great location, small but cozy, friendly staff but the food is terrible. I had a patty melt that was greasy & sloppy, inedible. I had to send it back. Been here a few times, the French fries are great, kind of different but very enjoyable. The pancake is great but too big & thick, larger than the plate with no room for butter or syrup, very messy. But over all the place is enjoyable and when I go now i just order fries and coffee and I'm happy. The place is often packed and short staffed. Lots of waiting for service. read more

Great little diner in cute town by Red Rocks. We stopped for breakfast on our Lariat Scenic bypass loop. Service was quick. Servers were attentive. Breakfast was fast and yummy. They even had vegan options and were able to adjust a few for me. I ordered the avocado toast, oatmeal with water instead of milk. Friends ordered a jumbo pancake which was bigger than the plate and a bowl of fruit. Prices were a great especially for Denver area. Paintings of cows everywhere and some were very funny! Will make another stop next time we're in area. read more

Food is great as well as the service. Local favorite for yummy breakfast lunch & supper.

Extremely slow seating, extremely slow service, we arrived at 10:45 am and it is now 11:54 and not a single thing on the table other than water. For a family with kids i do not recommend at all. The setting next to the river is awesome but that has nothing to do with the restaurant. Some of the food plates were decent (fish and chips) anything with Mac and cheese is very thin and the break and Gorgonzola is 5 slim slices. read more

Let me just say, the one server was horrible. They pool all the tips and split them. If I was any of the other servers, I would not have stood for that guy's laziness. The others picked up his slack constantly. Food was amazing we got chip and dip and a burger, but there wasn't a plate in view that wasn't huge and picture perfect. Rustic/cute, but they have a wall up window for the soft serve ice cream. Don't leave without getting dessert. read more

We had just explored Red Rocks and wanted to explore the (very!) small town of Morrison and we decided to have lunch here due to the crowds. Despite the restaurant's name, we opted for a berry salad without the cheese and added salmon on it. We asked the staff about it, wanting to make sure we weren't making a mistake, and they told us the salmon was surprisingly good! And honestly, it was. We were pleasantly surprised by it. The salmon was cooked really well and the ingredients were fresh. Seems like a good spot for a burger and fries too. Really friendly customer service here! read more

My sister and I had breakfast at this wonderful, small restaurant very close to the red rock amphitheater where we watched the sunrise. The service was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious. The portions were large enough so that I could eat a second breakfast with what I brought home. The gigantic cinnamon roll was absolutely delicious, and the coffee itself was worth the visit. The atmosphere inside is warm and cozy with plenty of seating both to the left and the right of the main entrance. I guarantee that if we are ever back in Morrison Colorado, we will definitely be eating one of our meals at The Cow Now go make memories... Safe travels read more

We stopped by The Cow for lunch with the family yesterday. It was pretty busy, but we were seated right away, which was a nice surprise. The space is small but has a cozy, homey feel--definitely has charm. Service was great throughout the meal. We started with the fried PB&J and sweet potato waffle fries. The flavor on both was good, but the PB&J was a bit dry--not quite enough peanut butter or jelly. Fries were a little soggy but still tasty. I had the berry yummy salad with a side of vegetarian green chile. The chile had a real kick to it, but the flavor was on point. Salad was fresh and hit the spot. My husband ordered the regular chile, but it was too spicy for him to finish, so just a heads-up if you're sensitive to heat! Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would come back. Great service and a welcoming vibe--just a few small misses on the food that kept it from being five stars. read more

Appreciate the owner reaching out after my review. Since we had waited over an hour we came in to speak to the hostess so never saw the text and didn't see the menu until we sat down and were handed a menu where the waitress said it's now lunch so here's your menu. lol We were charged $1 for a tablespoon of honey mustard (who does that?) and $3 to substitute fries for fruit. Not sure that goes with the rising costs. Lol But like I said, I appreciate the response and the intent to do better. So will give you a 4. But definitely recommend checking the menu first, which we should have done. read more

This was our third time seeing a show at Red Rocks and our third time eating at The Cow, beforehand. It looks like a hole in the wall (which we happen to love) but the food and drinks are so good!. This time we didn't want to eat too much since we know how hard it is to walk up that ramp to RR so we decided to just take advantage of the half price apps and get some drinks. I had the strawberry lemonade (vodka) and my husband had a bloody mary. Both were delicious! For apps, we got the homemade potato chips with blue cheese, scallions and siracha and the tempura mushrooms. Both were great! There are so many good things on the menu and it is a perfect location for a meal before the show! Definitely give them a try. read more

We were headed out to visit the sights on our vacation in Colorado and we found this place. It was a cute little place, nice outdoor patio. We ran into people from our home town in town for a concert at Red Rocks. I got a grilled cheese and it was ok, I'm a sandwich purist and like my grilled cheese with some good ole plastic cheese and white bread. We would eat there again. The service was fantastic and they were super friendly. read more

I'm not sure why they have such low ratings. When you walked inside, it was covered with cows. Even the bathroom had cow paintings and artwork inside. Thats why they call it the cow and eatery. You can either eat inside or the outside patio or the back closed off patio. The service is great, and they are quick and check on you frequently. When I asked for hot sauce, they brought over three from their own brand. I was impressed by all three. It felt like I was in the show hot ones on youtube, haha!! I found out that this place used to be just an ice cream shop with just outside seating, but renovated it for food and dessert with seating inside. I think that was a great idea. Food wise, I ordered for myself the seafood mac and cheese. I'm on a diet not eating fried food, so it was limited, and of course, I got myself dessert too. Their banana split was so good. I enjoyed it thoroughly even though I'm not a fan of chocolate. But their two flavors and all of the toppings together combined matched well. I would suggest getting their dessert as it's all handmade. read more

Ordered a milkshake from the outside window and waited a ridiculously long time. By the time it was ready and I finally got it, I realized they'd forgotten the mix-in I paid extra for. I didn't feel like waiting another 20 minutes so I didn't ask them to remake it. Not ideal for people wanting to grab ice cream quickly during a day out. read more

Cute spot with an outdoor counter and there was an indoor dining area as well. The outdoor area had a few tables to eat at. We got the loaded house made chips which were really big and actually pretty good. I wish there was more toppings. The soft serve was good but wish it wasn't so messy. Also the chocolate covering the ice cream was kind of waxy. Really liked everything though and the service was pretty quick as well. Would definitely recommend. read more

We stopped here on the way to Red Rocks. None of us had been here before but with such a cute name who could resist. Based on other reviews, it seems like maybe we need to try it again. The place is cute and the service was great but we all felt the food was just kind of average. I ordered the green chile burrito with ground beef. And maybe I was expecting too much flavor, but it was kind of bland. The ground beef was not Mexican seasoned and tasted like just cooked ground beef rolled into a burrito. No spice or flavor to it as I had hoped. The french dip was also just okay. Now mind you we ate it all so it was not bad, but just not great. Maybe it is a matter of trying the wrong things because people clearly love this place. So next time I am in Morrison, I would give it another shot. read more

For the moment, I'm just posting about the cinnamon roll and staff. It was epic. Soft, gooey, and decadent. But my picture is bad, so I need to go back. The staff was friendly and fast. I paid and had my roll as soon as I had my change. Ashley was super quick and answered my questions about everything they served. Expect to see something off the menu and multiple rolls on the edit. ;-) read more
