Ordered delivery from the Stewed Cow tonight. We ordered the blackened chili salmon, Buffalo wings, and rum raisin bread pudding. Delivery arrived on time. Salmon dish was cold though. My boyfriend said 3 stars with the wings. Take the wings out of our order and it's 4 stars. Wouldn't get them again! Don't recommend the wings here. Buffalo wings are small. They were a little undercooked for our liking. They're a 3/10. Better and cheaper wings at BlackBear and Grubbs. Don't get the wings here!! Waste of money. $15 for a few tiny wings? No thanks. The salmon was a nice portion for $24. The side of kale was good. Cooked perfectly. The cilantro lime rice was okay. Had a bite of it. I don't care for rice. Would get the salmon again! 9/10 .. flavor was good. More of a Cajun salmon than chili. Blackened on ends. Definitely recommend the salmon! The rum raisin bread pudding was 8/10. Love the raisins and cinnamon flavor. Didn't taste rum lol. And they forgot the vanilla icecream and caramel. Prob would be a 10 with those little extras. But we wouldn't know. Probably best to dine there. We warmed this bread up and it was still good. Would recommend. It's $10. Worth it! read more

We went to the Stewed Cow last night to meet up to celebrate a friend's birthday. The bar had a lowkey atmosphere and wasn't crowded at all, which was nice! The bartenders were friendly and efficient as well. They had live music and the guy playing was very talented! The drinks were reasonably priced also! All in all it is a good bar to go to if you are looking for a more relaxing night. read more

We came here for dinner and got the empanadas, nachos and buffalo chicken balls. The nachos were very good, I would get them again. The Buffalo chicken balls didn't really taste like Buffalo chicken and the empanadas were a little dry. Overall we had a good time and the drinks were good. read more

Stopped into the Stewed Cow on Sunday while walking around town. It was Easter, so it wasn't very crowded. They have a good selection of local beers, and we were pleased with both options we tried from 902 Brewing - Cherry Slushie Sour Ale, and Hoboken Fresh Start IPA. Outdoor tables are well distanced, and they have QR Codes on the table with the menu and to pay via Venmo. Our waitress was attentive but not overbearing; she wore a mask the entire time. We weren't hungry, but the brunch menu looks delicious and is a good deal so we'll be back to try that out soon - $25 per person for a shared app, muffins, an entree and two drinks! read more

The Stewed Cow - Hoboken Fresh Start IPA and Slushie Sour Ale - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

The Stewed Cow certainly has a Southern theme, but really offers a little something for everyone.  While the majority of the menu items include bar fare with a rustic flare, they also offer a healthier option of Make Your Own Salad, which I have ordered many times.  In addition to choosing vegetables and cheeses, the restaurant offers a variety of fruit and nuts that can also be incorporated.  I have also added avocado and grilled chicken as more substantial components.  The ingredients are always extremely fresh, and the chicken has been tender and well-cooked.  Regarding other items I have tasted, their Soft Pretzel has been mediocre at best, while their Corn Bread side dish was sweet and flavorful, though a tad greasy.   In terms of their beverages, none of their custom cocktails have really appealed to me, but if you are a whiskey drinker, you will be in heaven.  They have a massive selection of whiskeys and even a punch card of 10 different flights to conquer.  Aside from the whiskey, they have a few other liquors, like Deep Eddy Vodka from Austin, as well as a decent tap and bottle beer selection, including brews like the Founders IPA.   Their big weekend draw is a mechanical bull that can be braved with the sign of a simple waiver.  Weekday crowds range from avid sports fans there to watch a game or those in search of a quiet drink on non-game days.  The rustic saloon atmosphere and diverse menu set The Stewed Cow apart from the other traditional sports bars and Irish pubs in Hoboken. read more

Such a cute place. Went with my friend for brunch. I had the breakfast tacos and she had chicken and waffles! The tacos were great but the chicken and waffles were even better! I also had the waiter (who was so nice and helpful) surprise me with flavored mismosas! He brought out a pineapple mimosa and a guava mimosa. Yummmm I will be back! read more

I cannot comment on the food/dinner experience, but Stewed Cow is one of my favorite bars in Hoboken for a night out. It has an awesome atmosphere and plenty of drinks for reasonable prices. I went with a few friends last Saturday night, and we sat at the bar. The bartenders were excellent - so friendly and the drinks were delicious. Rounds of shots were also fairly priced. This is definitely a local bar, so it's particularly nice if you want to escape the main Hoboken tourist traps. My friends and I always have great nights here - highly recommend! read more

Some of the best food in Hoboken. The quesadillas and pulled pork sandwich are unreal. The drinks and service make this place an 11/10! Can't recommend it enough. read more

We love the Stewed Cow's ambiance and outdoor seating but the food is never good. Note for the kitchen: make better Mexican food! The rice served should not be garlic (it's should be Mexican rice). The beans should be seasoned. There shouldn't be Parmesan cheese on top of quesadillas. The fish tacos should not have more fried batter than fish. We want the food to match the vibe so badly but the head chef needs to create far better food. Menu items are great on paper but the quality just isn't there at all. read more

Hands down, best nachos in the area. Perfect game night watching notch. We added pulled pork and holy cow - it was worth every bite. I love stewed cow because it's more of a low key sports bar in Hoboken. Nothing too wild.. just a nice, clean place with bomb food, great service, and plenty of TVs. Do also try the Bourbon Chicken tenders - the sauce is incredible. Be back soon! read more

Great casual neighborhood bar / restaurant. Went for Taco Tuesday - food was pretty good and service was absolutely fantastic!! The waitress kept swinging by to check if we needed anything - we were the only table seated outdoors so she had to make a special effort to check on us! The drinks were really great too! We got a pitcher of the Paloma Margaritas and it was cutely served in a massive mason jar instead of a regular pitcher. Not too sweet - just right! We also tried a spicy guava based margarita which was reeeeeally good! Not sure what it was called! The Pork & Steak tacos were my favorites - the Shrimp was just ok! The Loaded Nachos were well loaded but not too heavy as they can tend to be. The Buffalo Blue salad was fantastic!! And the wings are highly recommended! read more

Enjoyed my visit here on a Sunday afternoon. It was relatively empty and the servers leave you alone for he most part, so I enjoyed my time with my friends just chatting away. i was a bit confused at the menu, because it doesn't list the exact pricing of each item... But the Omelet was extremely delicious! Perfectly seasoned. They also offered some complimentary dishes that I was also confused about. They gave us each an omelet with some chocolate chips on top as well as some pastries. Both were mediocre but better than nothing! Very cute place if you would like to take pictures, grab a meal or drinks. read more

Five years later this place still charms with knowledgeable bartenders and wait staff who want to see you have pleasant experience and leave with a smile on your face. Fantastic selection of local lagers and ales, an over and above the usual pub grub menu (try the loaded Tots) and Covid protocols met and a clean mens room. Locals rule but all are welcomed here read more

After coming here maybe twice for drinks, once even being new years--myself and my friend decided to give this spot a chance for food. Happy hour to be exact. Its small, dark, but beautiful inside. The decor is themed and perfect for what seems to be a southern/texas/bourbon bar. A real nice perk is the fact that they had happy hour until about 9 pm! sweet!. this included half off drafts, wine glasses and about 5 different half off apps. This is not the best place for the non-meat eaters. The must gets are the veggie burger slider for sure. for $4, youll get a perfectly grilled mini veggie burger. the bun is so cute, along with the lil burger itself. unlike other veggie burgers, it doesnt fall apart at all & it tastes great! the sauce on top was refreshing and i loved the touch of corn that was in the patte itself. Next to that, if you like chicken get the chicken quesadilla. this really filled me up. its messy so beware!. the buffalo calamari was a nice , unique attempt but didnt have much flavor in my book. what did have flavor was that cajun mayo. i need the recipe for that---throw this stuff on anything my friends! beer selection wasnt too impressive to be honest, they really only had one that caught my eye. service was great, and overall, i enjoyed my time here. read more

I like the Stewed Cow for many reasons. It's a spacious place with a clear Western theme. There is a lot of room at the bar and plenty of bar tables. The back room features not a restaurant, but a mechanical bull for those courageous enough. It's a great alternative to the wine bar movement that is growing. The happy hour drink specials for beer and wine cannot be beat. Have bar food in mind and you'll be satisfied with the cuisine. I had the pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries and no complaints here. And most important, the bartender was extremely professional and helpful for a first-timer at this location. Plenty of large-screen sports watching, it's that sort of place/crowd. 7 blocks off of Washington Street so expect a good amount of locals on the weekdays. A solid first experience and I'll check it out again soon to watch a little baseball. read more

I came here on a Friday night. I was seated immediately. Waiters were very polite and attentive. I ordered papaya mango salad with steak medium rare. My boyfriend ordered a burger and tater tots. My salad was refreshing and my steak was cooked to perfection!! Who likes to send back over cooked steak while watching your company finish their food then 30 minutes later, they watch you eat? Not me!! I took a bite of my boyfriend's burger and it was super juicy and tender. Tater tots were crunchy. I rarely crave for burgers but if I do, this will be my go to spot. They're also pet friendly. Great spot! read more

My first Hoboken brunch experience! Man do I love sunshine, when everyone crawls out after Saturday night shenanigans, desperately in need of Sunday brunch. For only $20, Stewed Cow gives you plenty of food AND two drinks, can't beat that! You get a little basket of pastries (we got muffins, a danish, banana bread, and some carrot cake/bread thing), fruit salad, and an entree. The best part was we got to enjoy this experience outdoors! LOVE LOVE LOVE outdoor seating for brunch! I had the western omelet which was pretty standard, but I recommend going with a more barbecue food-y option, since this is a country-themed spot. My friends got the road kill platter and loved it. Inside, they have a mechanical bull, which I'm sure makes for some fun party nights. The service is friendly, but a little on the slow side. You can even bring your pup to dine outside and they give bows for water, so cute! read more

Note- this review is only for the brunch, can't speak to what it's like on a Saturday night. For brunch though, it has to be one of the best deals in Hoboken- for $20 you get two brunch cocktails (Bloody Mary, mimosa, manmosa, etc) and an entree. My friends and I have had pretty much everything and can't complain about any of them. Compared to the other sports bars in town that flip over to "brunch" spots, this is way better and for $20, the value really can't be beat. read more

The Stewed Cow - Steak and eggs brunch. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

My roommates and I went here for restaurant week expecting a great experience, but unfortunately that was not the case. The food was mediocre, but the bad service is why I'm here writing this review. Not only did it take 10 minutes to be greeted for our drink order, but my friend's meal was delayed 10-15 minutes and by the time she had gotten her dinner, we all had already been done eating. Not to mention, her fish was not cooked the way she had asked. After about 20 minutes of staring at our dirty dishes and empty water glasses, we asked the manager to please clear our table and bring out the dessert. Keep in mind, our waitress walked passed us and the dirty dishes minimum 10 times proceeding to do nothing. The only time the waitress came over to us was when we had gotten our check and the meal was over. I was expecting to enjoy a nice night out with my friends, but that was not the case and needless to say, I will not be returning to The Stewed Cow. read more

Great spot for Sunday football. Brunch was $22 which included 2 cocktails. I highly recommend the manmosa, it's better than a mimosa! It had blue moon beer, vodka, OJ & sprite. You'll definitely feel a nice buzz after drinking two. I had the skirt steak and it was yummy! The French fries are the bomb! Definitely will come back (: read more

The Stewed Cow - Brunch Frankie's Feast. Brunch Skirt Steak Sandwich - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Went for Hudson Restaurant Week Dinner Food - 5/5. Steak tacos had flavor with lots of crunch coming from the cabbage. Brisket was tender and went well with the crispy tater tot hash and juicy Texas greens. The plating was pretty questionable though as everything was piled on top of each other on a small plate. It also could've used some more BBQ sauce. Warm cookie dough was rich and sweet with the ice cream adding that creamy goodness. Service - 1/5. Slow. Very, very slow. I must have waited 30 minutes between courses. I try my best to be patient but this was too much and it didn't help that no one explained why there was such a delay for the food. Value - 3/5. The food is good and a three course dinner for $20 is a great deal. However, waiting so long for the food to come out was a bad experience and makes you rethink visiting again.

Bartender was drinking at the bar and was too busy taking shots to serve us. However, when she finally got around around to serving us she forgot our drink order twice. On top that we asked to ride the bull and she said she put the rides on the tab. Yet we never got tickets. When we returned to the bar to ask for the tickets and she accused me of lying. Specifically "be truthfull next time." I was taken back because I've never been accused of steeling by a bartender. I said "you told me they were on my bill". She said "Are you still trying." What a terrible experience. If you're the owner do you know your bartenders get drunk on the job. At this point you may be wondering who this bartender is. It's a mid 20s brunette who has attitude problem. If your a customer run! read more

I've been here a couple of times; once during brunch and the other for a night out. If you are coming here; this is one of the bars that are not so close to the rest of the strip so have that in mind. However it is worth spending the night or brunch there. For brunch; they have an amazing menu with tons of variety and they have a special that you get two drinks, your meal and a basket of muffin for 25 dollars. Two drinks alone is worth 25 dollars. The drinks vary from your typical brunch; mimosa and Bloody Mary but even goes as far as Paloma's, manmosas(blue moon and champagne), and several other great drinks. Their Bloody Mary is premade so my friend got one batch that was a hit and the other one was a miss, but the waitress got her another drink. For nighttime it is your prettt standard bar, but with a mechanical bull in the back. Definitely do some shots before going to the bull! read more

This is less of a review and more of a heads up - I just called The Stewed Cow today, asking if I needed to make a reservation to ride the mechanical bull. They told me that there is no more mechanical bull - bummer! read more

Made a reservation for 8:30 pm on 7/21/23. When we arrived the place was shut down. Lights out, doors locked, crickets chirping. The website shows them open and we made our reservation through OpenTable. We were very upset as we planned to celebrate a milestone birthday. We called the restaurant telephone number and connected to a machine for the restaurant that repeats an offer to speak to someone in "events" but never allows you to speak to an actual person or leave a voicemail. We were needless to say, very disappointed. read more

MEH. I've had the brunch here twice and both times the food has come out at room temperature. They claim to give you "a lil sumpin' from the house" for a starter, which is just watery, bland oatmeal with chocolate chips in it. Got the steak sandwich. Tough, chewy meat and watered down, light poured cocktails. Plus the waitstaff obviously hate their lives. This is a place you'd go if you also hate your yuppie life and don't mind paying high prices for a mediocre experience. Seems like a mismanaged nightmare. They obviously don't care about quality control. Fries were good tho. Overall, pretty lame. Also, they always have crappy acoustic guitar players that I can hear from my apartment and that one blonde girl that's always there is a total vibe kill. Screw you guys, I'm going home! read more

This place seems to have fallen off. Ordered delivery. The quesadilla was below average and so was the shrimp tacos. The bourbon wings weren't bad. They forgot to send half the order but credited me back. Boo. read more

Used to love this place years ago. Now they close down early on weekends which is a bit lame. Also their staff isn't great. One of the main bartenders there is never in a good mood. She can't even fake it for her customers. Will definitely opt to clean a glass or straighten up the bar before even acknowledging you are there. I gave it 2 stars cause it's still nice inside, drinks are serviceable and food is good. But the service and management sucks. read more

We used to LOVE this place. We would always recommend it as an amazing brunch "hidden gem" However service and food quality has gone down. We arrived a little before 11:30 and were told they didn't open till 12:00. only to see another couple go in and get seated. My partner's favorite is the Chicken and Waffles but this time it looked more like an eggo waffle with under seasoned chicken. I get they were under staffed but regardless 3 tables isn't the end of the world. It seemed more like our presence was a bother. Drinks are usually stellar but everything just tasted like cheap mixers. Sadly I think we'll be looking elsewhere for a new spot. Perhaps we'll give it a shot again down the road. read more

Had brunch here, wasn't drinking so I asked if it was a better deal if I just ordered a la carte and the waitress confirmed. I got the chicken and waffles and an iced coffee. The waffles were soggy eggos and the chicken was just ok. The waffles were 22$ and the iced coffee was 4$ so it would have been better for me to do the 25$ brunch deal even if I wasn't having any alcoholic beverage. I knew this place had solid reviews but after going here I am disappointed. They do have a lot of good beers and mixed drinks so I could see this being a good spot just for drinks. I would skip brunch though! read more

I think I've ordered the same meal from TheStewed Cow for 10 weeks. Jambalaya and a half rack of Chipotle Ribs. The Jambalaya is heaven. Like Bourbon Street right here in Hoboken. The Chipotle Ribs are perfect. Perfect. I do delivery. Someday I need to stop by. 9/8/2017 - updated review. Food amazing. Nice selection of craft beers, love the interior. Welcoming yet allowed privacy. 9 times wonderful. I'll be back read more

The Stewed Cow is quickly becoming a new favorite place since Covid-19. I've visited recently for indoor dining on both a Thursday and a Saturday night since they have live music those nights. They are on Open Table and reservations are needed on Saturdays. This past Saturday I had a reservation for 2 at 7 pm. They weren't taking any walk-ins since they were fully booked for the night and they told us they were adhering to the 90 minute seating rule as a result. Our server said he was from their sister restaurant, Brass Rail - I didn't even know they were related. He was awesome and very accommodating the entire time. My friend and I each tried cocktails for our first round - I had the bourbon bramble which was really delicious. My friend had the perfect pear which she also liked. Their food menu isn't huge and it's a lot of your typical 'bar food' but good nonetheless. We shared the spinach & artichoke dip, buffalo wings, and loaded tater tots. Everything was yummy and came out quickly. At around 8:15 pm, our waiter told us we'd have to get up soon for another reservation. We didn't want to leave so he was able to move us over to another table where there was a cancellation - we lucked out! The band was really good and they played up until 10 when we had to leave. I'll definitely be back again with my friends on a Saturday for dinner & music. read more

Upon arrival to this bar on 1/17/21, we thought it was a cute place to hang out and grab a few drinks towards our dinner reservation. We were informed that there are only tables in the back where there are no televisions. We ordered a couple drinks and a small snack (shared fries) to pass the time. We understood how many places are frowned upon by just serving drinks without food so we ordered without asking. However, one hour after seating we were greeted by our server telling us there is a reservation placed that would require us to leave our table. After requesting speaking with the manager, she states that everyone has been accounted for, for their recorded times at the establishment, and that "people who ordered entrees have allotted a longer time for the full 90 mins of table reservation. And If you didn't there is only 60 minutes." She said that there also was a "miscommunication with the server who should have mentioned that our table was limited" and that there is a no reconcile for their lack of miscommunication on their part. Upon reviewing the guests, at least one table was there before our arrival and did was not asked to leave. And were well after our departure. We were handed our check without asking if we needed anything else. The place seems cute and the server was nice (though caught in the crossfires), being asked to leave without valid reason constitutes for bad service and I am highly dissatisfied. read more

The Stewed Cow - "90 minute time limit" - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Yes, the Infamous SC Quesadilla was infamously bad!!! In fact, it's the worst Quesadilla I've ever had in my life. A 10 year old could do better! I've had better quesadillas out of the buffet chaffing dishes that have been sitting for 2 hours in my office cafeteria. Description: Chicken, corn, jalapeños and Guacamole. What I received was a dry Quesadilla, with a maximum of 6 corn kernels (not exaggerating) inside, 4 slices of Jalapeño, no Guacamole (I forgot to mention this when I called the restaurant) and an absurdly tiny amount of cheese. When I called the restaurant about my entire order (I'll get to the rest), I was advised, "Corn is only mentioned because the tortilla is made of corn and the kernels inside are for garnish" Hmmmm... Has anyone ever had garnish on food you can't see because it's cooked IN the food? Is turkey stuffing garnish? What about cheese on hamburgers? I then told the woman who answered the phone that maybe corn shouldn't be listed as the 2nd ingredient. She preceded to tell me the crema had corn in it, "corn" was only listed on the Grub Hub menu for awareness, and that the quesadilla was not meant to be packed with corn. I dont know what the restaurants definition of packed is, but there wasn't even a teaspoon of corn in it. One piece of the cut quesadilla didn't even have a kernel in it. Moving on, we also ordered the Blackened Chilli Salmon. Description: Seared Salmon...served with stir fried cauliflower rice and veggies. What I received was Salmon which didn't taste that fresh, regular white rice and over cooked spinach perhaps, or was it kale? Who knows. I was advised that "They no longer serve the cauliflower rice and Grub Hub had been slow in updating the menu. And,while Grub Hub is "slow", the menu was updated after I called. Wow, miracles really do happen! I received a refund for the Salmon dish, but, this will be our first and and last time ordering from/eating here. Messing up a Quesadilla is really hard to do. "It's better to offer no excuse than a bad one". read more
