A clean convenient location for lunch or dinner with a variety of food options and excellent service. Gluten sensitive and healthier options are available, and we were told they use a dedicated gluten sensitive fryer. We liked the gluten sensitive options so much we forgot to take a picture when we first got them :). Sorry!

Well, where should I start? Alanah was my server and bartender. A 2-year veteran of the Cow! She was / is excellent!! The entirety of the ambiance was fantastic. Milkshakes? Wonderful. The cubana sandwich, fantastic! You've got to get their coleslaw, it is some of the best I've ever had. They had my favorite Jack Daniel's, and some Coors. And brunch will give you a fantastic cinnamon apple French donut. It's in the Berkman hotel which is top of the class! If you need some place to stay, this is the spot, good food, excellent facilities, and a very welcoming staff. You can't go wrong!

Place was busy for a Wednesday night! Hostess was friendly and waiter was exceptional. Pop was nice and fizzy (important to us lol) 3 people at our table and we had Mac N Cheese, Grilled Cheese w/tomato soup, and the Ultimate Burger. All great! Lighting is neat and place was clean. It was also across the street from out hotel so that's nice too! We will be back!

They have clearly marked vegan options! Not a ton, but definitely enough for a pleasant meal and group outing that doesn't consist of creating your own meal out of sides and praying that they're vegan. Really nice service, business casual atmosphere, and they kept the water flowing, which is always much appreciated.

The burgers are great. Every burger we try is tasty and packed with flavor. Our waiter Jackson was also very friendly and made our experience more pleasant. He recommended the chicken lettuce wraps and the burgers we ordered. Must try their sweet potato truffle Parmesan fries!

Great food and atmosphere. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places. There is a parking garage connected to the building but if you don't want to pay i would recommend parking somewhere nearby like toppers, and walking a little.

Wow! Best burger I have ever had at a restaurant, and I have had them all over the country. The Le Shroom burger is something SPECIAL. It was cooked perfect, the roll had the perfect chew, mushrooms were sauteed beautifully, and the sauce was delicious! SO good! The sweet potato fries were amazing as were all their dipping sauces they were AWESOME enough to throw in for me to try. I also ordered the chips and dip appetizer. If you told me they had THE BEST homemade chips you could ever imagine, that wouldnt even do these justice. The dip just sets them off. Phenomenal. You guys did a spectacular job. I will be back next time I am in town and will be sending my parents in when they are down for their appointments too.

Note to owners: Ally B. is your #1 asset and is an incredible human. Ally’s personable, knowledgeable, and helpful demeanor is priceless. The Ahi tuna crisps are an excellent appetizer. The Le Shroom smash burger is the best mushroom burger I’ve ever had, and the house-made Cole slaw is fantastic and strikes a perfect balance- not too saucy, not too vinegary. Ally’s house-made ginger beer (NA) is fantastic and is among the best I’ve ever had. Oh, and did I mention what a wonderful person Ally is? Did you know she teaches art to the kids at Mayo?!? Big selection of local craft brews and curated cocktail list. Best food near St Mary’s Mayo Clinic and across the street from the main entrance.
