Flippin Cow

The best gluten free bun I’ve ever had! I was acting shocked at how well it tasted. It was very thoughtful of the waitress to offer up suggestions for a gluten free side as well. Much more appreciated than you know, so thank you! Can’t wait to come back now.

I had the burger and it absolutely blew me away. My party also ordered the Chicken noogies basket, which she said was fine, she didn’t expect them to come unsauced. But back to the burger, I ordered the Merica double, the potato bun was pillow soft, and the patties were delightfully thick and extra crispy (in the good way). The fries weren’t bad at all but didn’t compare to the burger. I saw another table with a brisket burger that looked amazing. I would definitely come again for the burger, but maybe next time get a single (I didn’t realize how big it would be). The service wasn’t bad.

Was seated immediately - too cold and now dark early so no sitting outside enjoying the view of the lake - but very nice inside and good amount of seating both bar area and rest of the restaurant. Excellent service and the food was spot on - really enjoyed the fried pickles and had their burger special which was good to perfection - here on business and the recommendation to come here for local beer and great food was spot on - will be back whenever I am in town - great spot!

This is an ASTOUNDING little spot on the lake. Great views, great vibes, and great food. I came here for the burger and it did not disappoint. The beef was a high quality fresh grind with those little lacey edges. It’s not a full on smash burger but a “squarshed” burger as they call it. Very flavorful. The fries were also delicious. You can’t beat a good burger, a draft beer, and beautiful view of the water. Flippin’ Cow is worth all the hype. Don’t miss it if you’re in the area.

A few weeks ago when we were in Elkhart, someone recommended that we try Flippin Cow. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to stop then, but since we were back in Elkhart today, we made it a point to check it out. I’m so glad we did. It was fantastic and not just the food. From the moment we sat down, we were greeted like we were old friends. Our server, Suzy, was honestly one of the best servers we’ve ever had. You could tell she truly enjoys her job, and that kind of energy just makes the whole dining experience better. For lunch, I ordered the whitefish salad with a mango dressing, which I really enjoyed. My husband had a burger that he said was excellent, and our son ordered a chicken sandwich with a patty that was practically the size of his head. He couldn’t finish it, so my husband stepped in to help, and he said the breading on the chicken was fantastic. And the setting makes it even better. The restaurant sits right on the lake, so the view was beautiful on this early spring day. If you’re ever in Elkhart, do yourself a favor and stop by Flippin Cow. And if Suzy happens to be working, I highly recommend asking to sit in her section.

What a cool place to chill, have a cold drink and some food. My hubby got a Bloody Mary and it had so much stuff on it, was yummy. Kayleigh was our server and she was the best! Love the deco and the cow on the table was so cute in how you notify your server. You will not be disappointed

Was in town to return some stuff, and decided to try this place out, due to.it having a good star rating. I had the Suzy Special burger it was decent nothing spectacular, we also had the patty melt which came out cold. And wasn't really all that. Waitress never once came back and asked if we needed refills or asked how the food was. Also got fried pickles they was pretty decent. Mix of fried pickles with onions and jalapenos, the wild sauce or whatever that came with them was also decent.

Great food, and great service from our waitress Brooke. Loved the cheese curds and burgers! Can’t wait to comeback in the summer!

We are visiting Elkhart on Business and pleasure . This is the first place we went for a bite since we wanted a burger . Hands down the best burger I have had in a long long time . I ordered the Stella Moo and it was perfect . We also got the bacon cheddar dip is what our server (Hannah) recommended and it was 10/10. The service was also a 10/10 Hannah was very attentive paid all attention to details and gave us the run down on the background of the restaurant and they way they prep their meats and cooked fresh (Never Frozen) We would definitely come back here for the food and to see Hannah .

Very good food and service! It was great that management had a way for people to donate to people who needed the money. Good drinks, etc. The staff were very friendly and helped us with whatever we needed. There was music in the background, the bathroom was clean and the waitresses were accommodating.

We really enjoyed the lake side ambiance. The cow you flip over to get service was new, fun and helpful! Our server was fast, friendly and knowledgeable all important characteristics. My wife's Fish and fries were perfect not greasy perfect cook, great seasoning. My very unique never had prior and delicious burger was absolutely fantastic with that Crab Rangoon sauce on top! Wow, wow! why is this the first time in my life! I'm having that again soon! Did I mention our drinks were also very good! Summary - must go! Going back soon...

Do you want a great burger??? Then Flippin' Cow is where to go if you're in the area! Casual atmosphere, great service and everyone enjoyed their burgers, tater tots and onion rings!!! It wasn't very busy while we were there, so we were in and out pretty quickly! I'd definitely go back!

This was probably one of the best service experiences I've had in awhile. Our server was not only very attentive and helpful but management was also visible and checking in with tables! Everyone was very friendly! Fun place right on the water with lots of seating inside and out. The food was really good too! There were a lot of delicious-sounding burgers. I ended up getting the one suggested by our waitress and was not disappointed. Quirky and cute and tasty! Highly recommend!

Such a fun place to relax with a cold drink and some good food. My husband ordered a Bloody Mary loaded with toppings so good! Loved the decor, and the little cow on the table to call your server was a cute touch. Definitely worth a visit!

The staff love their jobs! Whether you order a burger or the shore wrap, you will not be disappointed! And do not change the spicy mayo for anything You cannot beat the view of the lake or getting to meet new people at the bar-tops inside. Was there on the 17th of Sept to honor my friend, colleague, & mentor who LOVED the Flippin' & even had her own table! If you've never been, get here!

If you're looking for a classy place with upscale ambiance, this isn't it. But it's quaint and homey and the food and service was great. Loved their squarsh burgers!

This is 100% the summer spot to be for a good burger and beer during the summer right off the lake. The cheese nugs mights be the best cheese curd appetizer I've had in a long time. Following that I had the Stella moo burger. It is a quite a large burger and very filling. The staff were also super friendly and attentive. The place really gives off beach lake front vibes and it's awesome. The only thing I wish they had was chicken wings Update: after a few hours the burger really isn't sitting well and happened to get sick from it. Not sure if it was the brisket, bacon, or the burgers itself. Just make sure yours is properly cooked.

Visiting my moms in syracuse and we went out exploring in some of the surrounding towns and stopped in here for lunch. So glad we did, the concept of the flipping cow was so cute and fun. The food was amazing and the drinks were delicious!

Haven't been to Flippin cow for a while, but it remains a great place for a family gathering. The hamburgers were delicious! I would say the best around. We sat out on the deck and enjoyed watching the water. Our waitress was great and had a wonderful sense of humor. Very enjoyable.

The service was very attentive and we enjoyed our dinner a great deal. I am a picky burger lover and I would give there burgers a solid 4. The restaurant is a bit rustic but that fits! We will be back.

Great burgers. Good craft beer. Fun service. Pretty location. Where the locals get their burgers and beers

The quest for the perfect BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN continues and Flippin Cow in Elkhart Indiana gets an honorable mention for making it fritter-like with consistent thickness and manageable size but the flavor was still on point is a return trip in order definitely for the eats and hospitality if not a tenderloin person they have a great selection to choice from

Oh my goodness, this place is flippin amazing. The burgers were out of this world flippin good and our drink was flippin on target. In other words you should definitely flippin visit the Flippin Cow.

Delicious food, amazing prices, and such a cool and unique place. Lots of cool and unique burger options, but also a lot of other American food options. The food came out super quickly and was hot and fresh, and the service was great too. We stayed in Elkhart after a Notre Dame game, and the Flippin' Cow was a great post game meal. Would highly recommend!

Labor Day almost nothing in Shipshewana or Elkhart is open other than chain restaurants but Sue at the Hilton tapestry Hotel in Elkhart found this restaurant open called the Flippin cow so we went to try it. It was a unique looking place on the water. I don't know what water what lake or what river but it was on the water And it was very, very different looking. If you looked around at the decor was everything from the Bob slide on the wall to a boat to a bicycle hanging from the ceiling and all types of other stuff to look at and money was hanging from the ceiling all over the table. Tops were very unusual. One was made out of pennies one was made out of bottle caps, and one was made out of yardsticks. I have pictures of them which I'll try to attach to this we ordered pretzel bites for an appetizer, and my wife ordered a salad with an unusual fish, white fish in it and I ordered a burger on a plate covered with grilled onions and a side of chips which they make there. Everything was good. I won't say anything was great but everything was good. The waitress's name was Sydney. She was terrific and it was an interesting evening.

Ate here today with my parents and sister to try this place out for brunch. We had definitely brought different kinds of food to share together to at least satisfy our taste. It was definitely great and delicious. The service there was also attentive and friendly. Finally, I will come back again next time when I visit Indiana.

The parking lot is very poorly designed. I had a minor incident there that caused over $2,000 in damage to my vehicle, and the owner refused to offer any compensation. Their back lot is extremely small, with only one narrow entry/exit. The only way to leave is to back out or attempt a difficult turnaround while all the other cars are parked facing inward. Even the owner admitted the layout was poor but was unwilling to work with me. I will never return and strongly advise others not to park in the back lot unless they're prepared to risk damage to their vehicle. The picture included is not my vehicle, but another that was damaged on the same day due to the same (too small, poorly designed) parking lot issue.

So impressed with everything at this little restaurant. We had the fried pickles and onion rings as an appetizer and they were uniquely good - just something about the batter having a bit of sweetness to it. Loved the sauce for the appetizers. My wife got the grilled brisket and cheese sandwich, but I did not get a chance to snap a picture - it was great by the way. However, I took this picture of the Stella Moo Burger with high expectations. It was so wonderful - all the different flavors that went into creating this wonderful meaty masterpiece. There was also a sweet barbeque (I think) sauce that made it all the much better. Staff was wonderful, absolutely family friendly, and a must if you are looking for a great flavor experience. Highly recommend - 5 Stars!

First, the place including restrooms were very clean! Suzanne was an amazing and friendly server! We started with the Cheese Nugs! Best I have ever hard! Hubby has the Striper Fish basket, said it reminded him of how his Mom used to make fish! That is a HUGE compliment. I had to try the Hunka Hunka burger! Wow! Very different but the perfect combo of flavors! Wished we lived in Indiana, but we will be back when we return!

Parking = horrendous. Atmosphere, Service, & Food 5/5! We enjoyed outdoor seating, which I quickly regretted with the wind tonight but it was still pleasant! Our server, I believe Bailey, was attentive, kind, & very knowledgeable of the menu as the drink menus don't have the draft/bottle options. It was our first time and we'd definitely come back! Highly recommend the bacon cheddar dip

Great atmosphere. Food was phenomenal. Stella moo burger, cheddar bacon dip, and their desserts were excellent. Highly recommend.

Yesterday, while driving back to Chicago from Cleveland, we decided to grab lunch somewhere local without making a big detour. We found a spot called Flippin' Cow, which had nearly 5,000 reviews averaging 4.8 stars -- so we figured it had to be good. When we arrived, it was immediately clear this was a place for locals. As soon as we walked in, we could feel the stares -- like people were wondering, "What are they doing here?" It was uncomfortable, but we brushed it off and just wanted to eat. There were two seating areas -- one with A/C and another with just two fans. It was an extremely hot and humid day, and unfortunately we were seated in the hot section. We placed a simple order: two burgers and a half-size mac & cheese for our son. The large table next to us (about 20 people) ordered just before us, so we expected our food shortly after theirs. But after waiting 30 minutes, with no food and no communication, my wife politely asked our server for an update. She said, "It's ready -- I'll go get it." Another 15 minutes passed with nothing. I asked again, and she said she'd check on it. Still nothing. Another 5 minutes later, we saw her bringing drinks to another table -- not our food. At that point, in the sweltering heat, with a hungry and uncomfortable family, I told her we no longer wanted the food and were leaving. She looked at me and just said "I'm sorry" -- then turned away and walked off. The entire time we were there, we felt out of place and unwelcome. People kept looking at us like we didn't belong. We were shown no respect, and our experience was completely ignored. If you're not a local -- don't go to this place. You won't be treated the same. One of the worst dining experiences we've had on the road.

Greatest burgers ever!!!!!!!! First time trying them. Ecstatic and impressed on the food that Service.

We an amazing kitschy local place! Makayla was our server and she was a bubbly, fun amazing young lady. She kept us smiling the entire time. Makayla's recommendations were spot on. The hubs had the Stella Moo. The meat was flavorful and juicy. The burger was loaded with smokey brisket, bacon, onion strings and cheese. I had the Maui Wowie which came on a pretzel roll. The sweet savory sauce complimented the burger perfectly. We didn't have drinks but the drink menu was hilarious. I'm sure on a Friday night, there's a bunch of women jamming to the 80's music shouting "Woo Whoo". We absolutely loved this place! If you're driving down 90 West it's totally worth stopping here.

Visited Flippin Cow today. We come often. It used to dockside and you have your choice of inside ( screened in porch) or dining room. The servers are friendly. Making sure you know their secrets code for additional service at your table. Flippin' the wooden cow. Speedy delivery. Today I tried the grilled cheese with brisket and a side of tater tots. It was excellent. The sandwich was seven on a Hawaiian bread and it was very flavorful. Husband ordered the All American Cheeseburger and tots. It too was fixed just right. It might seem odd to comment. The tater tots were really on point. Not over done, not greasy --crispy. The parking is always tight. Remember there is parking across the street. Go visit the crew at Flippin' Cow. A good time and good food.

Great burger and views of the lake. One of our favorite spots in the summer. The crowd proves they know what they're doing as there is typically a wait but worth it.

Brittney was a great waitress! Started with a very warm greeting. She welcomed us and asked if we had ever been there before; and since we hadn't, she explained the "cow" to us. We ordered an American burger and added a patty so we could split one burger rather than getting more "bun". We also got the tater tots as our side. Delicious all around! It was definitely worth the drive to check this place out. Can't wait to come back in the summer so I can watch the lake activity while eating! Looks like you can park your boat and dine, too! Great place to explore and ask for Brittney!

First timers... parking was a beast and right for us driving a GMC 3500, so be aware. Small lot for parking. The service was very nice and friendly, the food was fine and ambiance was well... a bit loud and just ok. It definitely gives the bar vibe. All in all it was fine and glad we tried it.

Met a friend here for lunch , she had never been here . As usual the food & the service were fantastic !

Awesome service a great food. Last minute choice by my daughter to go here and try it out. Drove an hour in a snow storm and it didn't disappoint.

This evening I tried Flippin Cow for the first time. My waitress was Hannah and she was a rock star. She noticed right away we were new customers and treated us as such. Loved the food and the atmosphere. We will definitely be returning. Thanks Hannah for enhancing our experience!

First things first... the ONLY sauce they had that wasn't gluten-free was the Teriyaki, and the only interesting burger I could eat that wasn't just a normal run-of-the-mill burger was the Maui... featuring, you guessed it, the Teriyaki glaze. It's nice they have gluten-free buns, but it's not hard to find GF Teriyaki so that's a point taken off in my book... Hubs' sandwich looked AMAZING. The gluten-free bun I got was one of those tasteless white rice buns. Honestly the burger would've been delicious in a lettuce wrap! I also wasn't feeling like having broccoli or coleslaw, so no sides for me. The grilled pineapple on my burger was mostly tasteless and a bit dried out... which I expect some of that just from being grilled, but this was definitely either an unripe pineapple they used or something else. It had a slight pineapple taste... since I couldn't have the Teriyaki glaze the burger would've been much better if the pineapple was juicy & fresh. The staff... they were hilarious. The gal we got was obviously also the bartender (she said that was her favorite role) and she was playful, fun, energetic & really made the whole experience. It seemed the guys at the table next to us knew her because they kept giving her a hard time, but I'm not totally sure that was the case. She was attentive and hard-working. The murals, lake-themed decor (it's on a lake after all), the dollar bills stuck all over the place with people's personal notes, and the fun looking game along the back with posted rules made this place super fun to eat at... Some tables even had a wooden cow you could "flip" or play with just for the fun of it. LOVE the name of the place... just wish they had more gluten-free options than a bun and a separate fryer for their fries so they could be made GF as well.

Now this is a place that I could go all the time! There cheeses curds are to die for! I would get them every day! The burger that I had was perfect! Eric our server was amazing and well timed and just all together great! The vibe of this place is incredible just your local burger shop on the water and it shows it's amazing.

We had takeout it was pretty good. Would love to go back and eat outside. The views are fantastic. But what really stood out was someone from the establishment calling me a day or two after we ate there and checking to see how we enjoyed our meals and if there is anything they could improve on. That was above and beyond. Love that.

We sat outside and watched the lake. We had a great time and meal. I plan to come back.

Food and service was great! Good selection to choose from,. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

Definitely a cool summer spot. The burgers are great but the service is less than ideal. Staff is friendly but very very slow

Stopped by for a light dinner in the bar on Mother's Day. I had the Chicken Noogies. They may have been the best white meat chicken tenders I have ever eaten. The servers were friendly and it was a nice, neighborhood bar atmosphere. We will definitely go again.

Amazing place to eat went here with my husband and the food was spectacular and service was phenomenal

This is such a fun spot with delicious food and friendly service. It is right on the water with a great view and cool decoration on the inside and out. The burgers are nice sized and seasoned well. The house made chips are crunchy and delicious like a kettle chip. If we are in the area again, we will definitely be back.

The food is great! From out of town and have family and have had several sporting events not too far from the flippin cow. The burgers are delicious , and winning $25 on a pull tab game wasn't to shabby either. Brought my parents this past time, great food with a great view!

Great food. Their cheese cubes are to die for! I had a fish basket done to perfection and my friend had a big sloppy burger she enjoyed immensely. The waitress was attentive and professional. It was SUPER hot out so we declined sitting outside but that wasn't a problem for them. Can't wait to return soon.

Had Great service from Britany on the deck was a beautiful fall day. Right on the waters edge enjoying the view and the food! Had the burger with an egg and brisket with bacon! Yum yum

We came here for lunch and sat in the enclosed porch that overlooks the lake. The staff was very friendly. We split a basket of fried fish with fries. It came out super hot and was delicious. My husband tried the beer that tasted like a creamsicle and it was refreshingly cold. Next time will try a burger but you can't go wrong with the fish basket.

Shaye is an outstanding server. She was on it and kept checking on us. I highly recommend the restaurant and especially Shaye

Made a quick stop here on our way to Cleveland and we were happy with the location and service! Its right next to the lake and was spacious. Staff was friendly and the food was great! Hubby and I got the Stella Moo and it did not disappoint. Brisket and beef patty were tender and juicy, bacon was crispy, and the bbq sauce was not overly sweet. I also enjoyed the crunch of the fried onions. I didn't think the cow chips were worth the hype, tater tots were better. Overall, a nice experience

Charish was great, helpful, attentive and super friendly! Great food & milkshakes for our GrandBabies!!! Hunka Hunka
