Red Cow St. Paul - Saint Paul

Today's luncheon was at the Red Cow, St. Paul location. Every person I encountered (from the host, server, to other wait staff) was incredibly friendly and the food was just as tasty as I had remembered it to be. I ordered the double barrel burger with fries and my friend ordered the Red Cow Salad with grilled chicken- both were delicious. This place has a cool, laid back vibe that serves up some of the best burgers (and salads) in town.

As always the food is fantastic. There is usually a wait to get a seat but we 'll worth the wait. Excellent apps and burgers. I recommend the Barcelona with truffle fries. Extensive beer and drink selection. Will be back again soon.

Pretty good burgers and I'm a big fan of their cheese curds and truffle fries (in particular the garlic aioli). The burgers are more of the thicker patty variety, so while I like their 60/40 blend I prefer other burger places with a thinner patty.

Had great service but honestly I was not a fan. My tuna burger was soggy and barely warm. The Bulldog does better tater tots than Red Cow. But what floored me were the prices. $12 for a brandy hot toddy drink? $14-16 for our burgers and then a $2 upcharge on top of that for tater tots and truffle fries for each burger? With 1 beer each plus one toddy drink, our burgers, the tuna appetizer (avoid, it wasn't good), and the tip it was a $100 lunch for 2 people, no joke.

This was our first visit to the Red Cow. It was a Sunday night, and the restaurant was very busy and understandably noisy. We had the BLT Chicken Sandwich with the Parmesan Truffle Fries $14.75 plus $2.00 upcharge for the Truffle Fries) and a Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Soup $13.50). There was also a 4.90% MC surcharge on the bill not sure what that is about). Our food was very good and the service was friendly and helpful especially given the busy night. We plan to make a return trip for the burgers.
