Red Cow

The double barrel burger was excellent and the service and staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely did not disappoint. This sets a high standard for restaurant quality service and food at airports; and no different than their stand alone location in the city.

Our server Rose was great al around! Quick to greet us, fast service, quick followup on drink refills and food quality. She is 11/10. We had tap beer and cheese curds (which were legitimately phenomenal). Music could have been a bit louder to ease listening to others conversations, but it was a very nice atmosphere and clean as well.

Nice lady at the tin, but the breakfast burger was not worth it all. 23 bucks for this? A joke

Molly & Ethan were a great team! Breakfast & a screwdriver served fast, hot & with a smile!!! Must be the earliest bar open in the airport! Had drinks in hand by 5am. Molly was the bomb! Peace out!💜

I tried the breakfast burger here recently. Service was quick, and the food also came out quite quickly. The food was quite good for airport standards, but not amazing. Quite expensive for what you get.

This is not the best Red Cow in rhe Minneapolis area, and the staff clearly doesn’t aspire to make it so either. The staff is friendly but it is very evident that they don’t see you as a potential repeat customer. The beer menu apparently changes so often that they need to use small notes as a beer menu (which we found okay actually). The bar tender was unfriendly and decided not to answer any questions but refer to the waiting staff instead (he was playing with his phone). The food is average at best even though we tried very simple dishes. We will go to another Red Cow next time, and at the airport we will pick another option.

Ordered the double barrel burger which was supposed to be the premium (award winning) option. The food took a long time to arrive, and my first question was "where's the beef?" It was supposed to be a double patty, but barely had enough meat for small single patty. Although tasty, it was overcooked and left me wanting more. It took forever to get the check, which was not an issue due to our long layover.

Read about their award winning burgers, but it was a Friday and also read to try their fish fry. Spot on!! Four pieces of perfectly battered fried cod on a bed of endless fries. The catsup and tartar sauce had a stone ground mustard mix to it which was unique and really good. Rate to find a good fish fry let alone at an airport!!

We just flew into town and checked into the Four Seasons and we were hungry. Word on the street is that this place has one of the best cheese curds in Minneapolis. And it's true! We ordered some drinks, the curds, and a veggie burger. The cheese curds are oddly lighter than you'd expect and come with ranch an and a triple berry ketchup which is an amazing condiment with the curds. We had a big dinner reservation so we went lighter with the veggie burger. I was not expecting the veggie burger to be as amazing as it was. The double bean and cashew patty was very well seasoned and with a great texture. The smoked aioli really helped round it out. Our server was extremely sweet and took very good care of us. The selection of beer and wine was y nice. The restaurant itself is very clean and well lit. I was surprised this place wasn't fuller during lunch. All in all, I'd definitely return.

Red Cow is a must try restaurant in Minneapolis. The double barrel is their signature burger and it's one of the best burgers I've had. I even had the airport location and it was stellar. Don't be afraid to try it due to it being at the airport. The staff is great and it's very clean. I was extremely happy!

Had a nice long layover in MSP and had fond memories of Red Cow. Plopped into a table and my server, Rose, was amazing from beginning to end. Did not expect such great service from an airport joint, but she took care of me beyond expectations. She would see when my soda was low and refill without me asking, and even gave me my refill in a to go cup as I was heading on out! The 60/40 burger was perfectly cooked and very tasty. Fries were perfect and was given ranch upon request. Highly recommend if you are in need of a good meal between flights.

It's not very good. We ordered burger. Didn't have much expectation since it's airport food. Well, it's still manage to dissapoint us. The patties were falling apart. Taste just salty. Not recommended. Better get chick fil a or mac donald

Yup, I know it's in the middle of the Minneapolis Saint Paul Airport's Terminal 3, but this place is an upgrade from most airport offerings. The key is that they have a pair of places under one heading. Red Cow is a terrific burger shop and Holy Land has GREAT Mediterranean options. Located across from Gate E5, there is plenty of table and bench seating, and you scan to get a look at the menu. I ordered their Gyro plate and I enjoyed it, a tasty combination of yellow seasoned rice with gyro meat and tzatziki sauce. And my server, Hanna, was awesome with excellent menu knowledge and superb customer service.

Clean, efficient, great staff and great burgers. The Blues Burger is awesome and I'm not even a blue cheese fan. The apricot, rosemary pepper jam is yummy! We will be back!

Very good burger! I had the 60/40... real meat!! In an airport... what a blessing. I would recommend you stop here as long as you have at least 40min to eat. Would have given 5stars but the cost of airport food and the extra time it took to get the food was the downfall (btw they were not busy). I will go back!

This is in the middle of MSP, but since I wasn't in town long enough to make it to the real one it was worth a try! I was not disappointed with the tomato soup and grilled cheese and it really hit the spot. The BBQ chips are actually inside the grilled cheese which made it an interesting bit of crunchy and somewhat unusual. The tomato soup was also quite delicious. Service was quick and the pricing was comparable to everything else. Highly recommended if you're looking for food in the airport.

The airport version of Red Cow was tempting, as our MN visit was short and we couldn't make it to the local spots in the twin cities . We felt we could satisfy our burger craving at the airport location ! Well it didn't come anywhere close . The ambience was quite nice and the menu a condensed version of the city restaurant . All we ordered was The Double Barrel Burger with a side of Parmesan Truffle fries . While waiting for the food we had to witness an altercation between the bartender and a wait staff , about a drink order and who was right or wrong and one blamed the other that seemed uncalled amidst customers . The burger was cooked not sure if was meant to be medium or medium well as we were not asked how we wanted it . It was served the way they wanted it as we couldn't make out. No specific flavors stood out . Patty was Chewy inside a Soggy bun. The fries were fine with the Parmesan and truffle flavors, with a dipping aioli which was also quite good . We were in and out in 15 minutes which was good for time but also shows how not so great the food was as we didn't really enjoy it like the real deal Red Cow burger . If keeping up with their restaurant quality is challenge at the airport they shouldn't charge almost the same price or maybe little more than their restaurant.

This is one of the best burgers I have ever tasted. And likely the best food in an airport!

on 10/8/24 at around 5pm, the red cow employee in terminal 1 with black curly hair in a ponytail and a dark complexion was extremely rude and disgusting. i just bought a shwarma platter from the neighboring vendor, holy land, and saw that red cow was almost empty so i found a counter seat facing the window to eat alone. i wanted to buy a coke, so i asked the nice gentleman next to me to please watch my things so i could go buy a drink. he agreed, but when i came back, the red cow employee was touching my things. she told me i had to move over to the corner, and i agreed right away. I didn't mind having to move into a corner but she was touching my things, hurriedly grabbing at my food with her bare hands and chucking it to the side. i calmly told her to stop and that i'd move it myself and at this point was still in an ok mood, and was already standing starting to move my own things but she ignored me and kept touching and moving my food with her bare hands. even after i asked her to stop, she slid my sauce over the counter by smacking it with her backhand, not caring if it spilled or if her hands touched my food, and then i lost it. i said "dude stop, i said i'd move it." then, she proceeded to mumble under her breath as she walked away. her and her female coworkers were yapping loudly in another language right next to me the entire time and laughing obnoxiously while i was there and it was obvious that they were talking smack about me. i left shortly after but this was such a shitty experience and if anything, she either could've asked me nicely to leave or to move my things myself, which i would've done gladly. i don't mind being told something is not allowed, but putting your nasty hands in someone else's food? ignoring their requests to stop manhandling their food/things? thats where i cross the line. i hope to never experience something as disgusting and ill-mannered as this again. i can't help but think that if i were a white male, this wouldn't have happened. as an asian female, i was probably an easy target to bother. it was my first time in minnesota and i don't know how prevalent racism is there, but i know i'd rather not come back to find out.

It's hard to go wrong with Red Cow. Known for their burgers, there's a lot more to enjoy on their menu but ... it doesn't hurt to start with their burgers! A few other personal favorites include their Brussels sprouts, Nashville hot stix, red cow salad, grilled cheese (pro tip: ask to add bacon or their tenders!) with rustic tomato soup, and mini donuts. This north loop location has a great outdoor patio for seasonal seating. Highly recommend.

Decor made me second guess this place that was recommended for brunch but food did not disappoint. Bagel burger was good. Complimentary bowl of warm donuts was even better. Felt like a nightclub cleaned up for breakfast so tables and chairs were awkward but good spot for brunch when in downtown Minneapolis.

The most delicious chicken sandwich I've ever had. I had it MN nice because I'm a wimp but it was PERFECT!!! Fries were great too, if a little salty. They have great cheese curds too. A little dark to take good pics but I love the ambiance in there. The service was lovely! Great prices for the quality of food!! 10/10 recommend.

The place was mobbed but we found three open stool seats. The server was very patient and helpful. I would totally lose my shiznit dealing with fussy travelers all day, but she was calm and friendly. Bravo, Red Cow staff! The burger was surprisingly good for airport food. Better than a downtown burger. Veggies were fresh, bun was tasty, and good fries! Well done Red Cow, a good burger basket, you betcha!

It's really gotten tough to get a good meal at MSP what with the airport officials kicking out all the true local purveyors and replacing them with pseudo-local (at least locally branded) spots run by big food service conglomerates like Aramark or Marriott. The vast majority of places are shallow representations of their original outposts. All that said, despite the very limited selection, the ultimate burgers we had here were pretty good and hit the spot. The fries aren't the ones at the city places but they gave us a lot and there's not really any atmosphere but it's still worth the short walk down the very quiet E concourse if you just gotta have a juicy indulgent burger before heading out.

(5th review of 2021) I had a 4 1/2 hr layover & kinda had time to kill. What to do, what to do. Hmmm... I need a beer, food, & cheap entertainment to pass the time. When I got there there were only a handfull of people inside. I got there a lil before 7am & they open at 6am. I sat at the bar in the corner & noticed there were several chairs separating 2 seats at a time at the bar. They only allow 2 in each area at the bar. There's a seat w/ a sign for social distancing. They also have several tables blocked off, but if you have a big group you can sit at one of the big tables. I sat down & asked the bartender, Molly, for a menu. Molly is quick witted & super funny! She will definitely keep you entertained. She has a wicked sense of humor too. Entertainment, check. I looked over the menu & before I could order anything Molly named off several items that they didn't have available. Aww shucks! There were all the items that I wanted. Ok well then, I'll get the $10 french toast & added sausages (about $3-$4 addon). It's an airport, so I expected the price to be a bit high. The food was simple yet good. I also got the Belching Beaver Milk Stout Nitro beer. There was a bunch more people that came & went over the time I was there. Unfortunately Molly seemed to be the only waitress/bartender on staff. There was an older gentleman that was helping, but it seemed he was more of a busboy? Maybe? Not sure tho. Molly was running all over the place trying to tend to everyone at the bar & at the tables all over the restaurant. Being on that side of the bar, I was wondering why there weren't at least another waitress there to help her cause she was BUSY! I was in no rush so I wasn't worried. There were other people there that were waiting for their flights & we got to talkin. Go back? Heck yeah!! Jus for the entertainment from Molly! That's a no brainer. Hopefully the next time I can get one of the burgers cause I saw plenty people order em. Go try em out & tell Molly I say hi. A Hui Hou!!

Came into Red Cow one morning to wolf down some breakfast before my flight home. Ordered the hash browns, bacon and eggs (over easy). Took a little while for the food to arrive - they were pretty busy. Food was hot and tasty. #RedCow

Got lunch here while waiting for my United flight to Chicago. I was surprised to find two menus--one for the burger part, and the other for the Middle Eastern part. I settled on the best of both worlds by ordering a Four Daughter's Loon Juice honey crisp apple cider and a Greek salad with chicken. Was happy to try a Minnesota cider. It was sweet and refreshing. The salad was massive and came with cheese, olives, pita bread, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, red onion, banana peppers, hummus, and a tangy yogurt sauce. The chicken was seasoned with a curry type of spice and very flavorful. We sat at the bar looking out to the walkway, and it made for some great people-watching, I was pleasantly surprised to find plenty of outlets under the table, so that was great to charge my phone. Good and fairly fast service and tasty food made this a decent place for lunch at the airport.

If you are looking for a good burger in MSP, this is the spot. Convenient to the American gates. Not as good as the original location I town but still pretty darn good. Servers lack a little bit of personality but sort of expected in an airport setting. Can't say the menu is identical to main location but has at least many of the same options. Fairly priced too. Highly recommend.

It's not as good as the other locations but what can you expect from an airport. I think it's cool that there is one there and the price is comparable to all the other places so there is no point in not getting something if your hungry.

I've visited MSP a handful of times this summer & I've been wanting to try Red Cow. For some reason or another, I haven't been able to make it out to the various locations in the twin cities. On a flight out, I noticed a Red Cow in concourse E. I was pleasantly surprised to see it in the airport. Since it was breakfast, it was a smaller menu with only 6 items. No burgers until 10am I believe. I ended up getting the Huevos Rancheros (refried beans, guac, lettuce, tomato, tortilla, 2 eggs, chevre, ranchero sauce - $11.75). I unfortunately had to scarf this down on the plane BUT it was really good. Great portion with nice & crispy tortilla, well-seasoned beans & perfectly poached eggs. The ranchero sauce is basically just salsa by the way. Service was also excellent at this location. I unfortunately can't remember her name, but she was really helpful (as I was really indecisive) and understanding (as I had to change my order to to-go because my flight was boarding sooner than I thought).

I ordered at the food truck entrance. I didn't realize they have table service which would have been easier. Got a blue cheese burger and a side of Mac and cheese. The burger was delicious- very juicy. It is not a low calorie meal! The bun is buttered and there are two patties. It had very little blue cheese. I saw some but could not taste it. I would order this again but ask for double blue cheese. I got the fancy jam on the side. The Mac and cheese had good flavor but the noodles were over cooked for my taste. I want to try the grilled geese sandwich next time!

The best servers Bitaniya and Kidist. They were so hard to make sure the court gets a d sitting area was clean. Super professional. They were amazing. Great breakfast. I had two eggs and toast. Perfect for a five hour flight. They keep this place super clean. Nice music. A great place to eat if you're flight doesn't leave for a while.

I love the food and I love the concept! The food at the MSP Airport Red Cow is just as good as the food at the other full-service restaurants in the Twin Cities. Awesome! Okay, this isn't Chef Ramsay. But for airport food and for semi-fast food, the food was great! The service at the bar was also excellent. The bartenders had me entertained with pleasant conversation as I filled up and waited for my flight. I love the concept of "Food Truck Alley". And I love the way the Red Cow, in particular, executes the whole food delivery and service concept. You can get food in 3 ways at Red Cow. 1) You can order at the window (in the food truck!) and bring the food to a table of your choice...or on your plane...or wherever. 2) You can sit at a table and get full-service from a server. 3) Or you can sit at the bar and get full service from one of the bartenders on duty. Awesome job, Red Cow! -Daddy Maxx Retro

After standing here for 5 minutes with multiple employees walking back and forth, making eye contact nobody could say "hey that windows closed" okay, thanks.... took me walking away and a server from the other side to stop me and take my order... this is an airport, people are usually in a rush, so it's helpful when people who work here, are helpful.... Thanks Chapi

I ordered the Pete's breakfast. I asked for cheese on my hash browns she asked how I would like my eggs I told her. It came out with bacon. I thought they updated their menu because this happened last time I went there. I asked her about it and she points to the menu and says it's four bucks for bacon or sausage. I stated you didn't ask me if I wanted either. It just came out with it. I paid and started to walk out and turned back around and asked her for a manager. He said it comes with bacon. I asked why did she charge me. He said he didn't know and refunded the 4 bucks. Sounds pretty sneaky to me. Now I don't trust going back there

So I got to the airport in plenty of time to relax and enjoy a nice lunch and beverage. Or so I thought. Yeah, the walk through security is never fun, and this Saturday was no exception, but I had baked that into the time I had allotted. Anyway, I made it through in one piece. Next step, find a place to enjoy myself. Red Cow seemed as if it might be. I'll say that the food and beverage were ok, but oh dear, was the service slow and not particularly attentive. This is an airport, we're not here to waste time. When you see a customer trying to get your attention, you should at the very least acknowledge them. Probably took 25 minutes to take my order. If I didn't have the amount of time I did, I would've gone elsewhere.

Had a REALLY long layover so I decided to let Yelp choose where I would have dinner. Good job, yelp. Great little place tucked into the E concourse called Food Truck alley. I couldn't decide between the Poutine and the Grilled Cheese so I asked the guy behind the counter and he said go with the Grilled Cheese. It came with BBQ potato chips stuffed in it.... yum. I'm not the world's biggest fan of tomato soup but since it came with the sandwich I gave it a try and got a pleasant surprise. Not smooth and creamy like Campbell's...it had substance and a nice flavor. For being in an airport, service was quick, even at a normal dinner rush time period. Would definatley recommend if you're in the airport with enough time. Next time I'm in the twin cities I plan to visit one of their other locations.

Amazing burgers & great beer selection. We had the 60/40 (60% Certified Angus Burger/40% ground bacon patty), which was delicious and the Ultimate. 20+ beers on tap and a huge list of cocktails. They also offer breakfast, appetizers, soups, salads, and some "Others" Service is super slow, so -1*, but otherwise highly recommended!

Tried this place for first time ever and highly recommend it, I will be back. Had a 60/40 burger which is 60% certified angus beef and 40% bacon ground together in the patty and I had the beer cheese soup with popcorn and I am a connoisseur of beer cheese and it was just as good as Monica's home made. The chairs were to hard need some padding.

I don't usually have high expectations for airport food but this place looked good for breakfast while flying through MSP. It's in a little area made to look like a food truck alley. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and my friend got the basic breakfast. Our food didn't take long to come out and I was happily impressed! The sandwich was huge, and definitely could be shared. The bread was perfectly toasted and buttery, with creamy scrambled eggs and melted cheese. It comes with a side of fruit which was actually delicious and perfectly ripe! I was really happy with that, since there's usually at least one fruit that's not ripe. I noticed halfway through that my sandwich didn't have ham on it so I asked our server about it. Shortly after, they brought out the grilled ham, apologized, and told me I could get a free treat from the pastry truck! I was so surprised and grateful. Service was decent, we had to wait a bit for our checks, but nothing too bad. If you're in a hurry, get your food to go. I would absolutely go back for that breakfast sandwich again.

When you and your 4 year old niece end up having to be at the airport for 7 hours and you're sick of granola bars but don't want crappy airport food, Red Cow is the place to go. Best turkey burger I've ever had, nice and charred. Not that expensive either. I was thoroughly impressed, as was my niece with her fries.

Worse place to eat. No carbonation in the soda. Fries cold. Mustard and ketchup bottles run like water. It is clear the condiments are watered down. Service horrible. Food horrible. Management is incompetent. Keep walking by this place. There is no satisfaction at this joint.

Great place to grab a sandwich / drink in the Minneapolis airport. One of the best Blue burgers I've had in awhile. Community seating with a few seats available at the bar. Pepsi products.

Last time I went here for lunch (while on break), I've waited for my grilled cheese sandwich for nearly an hour AFTER I placed my order. Standing, waiting, waited some more, and then I got called back downstairs for my next incoming flight. $12.00 completely wasted and didn't even get a refund.

This was my first Visit to Red Cow inside MSP. The burger was actually pretty decent and fries were mediocre at best. I usually opt for the juicy lucy at Twin Burger but decided to mix it up. I'd still take Twin Burger over here but glad I tried it. The food overall is more of a 3 but the service was excellent with very friendly staff. The bar is also a nice atmosphere if you need to kill some time before your flight. If you want w tasty burger and are strolling by it's worth a stop in.

Took sooo long to get our dine-in order. We had an hour layover, and it took 40 minutes to get two meals and one appetizer. The restaurant was not busy. Im not really sure what was going on. We realized about 30 minutes in, they offer an express menu with items that dont need to be cooked, definitely go for that if you don't have nearly an hour to wait. My husband had to track down our server to go and see about getting whatever of our food was ready, if any of it, because we were running out of time to eat. We almost just left without eating at all. Unfortunately, we also overheard the table next to us was having the same experience because they had to ask to have everything put into to-go boxes before they even ate any of it. Upon being presented with the check, I promptly handed over my card before allowing the server to walk away because who knows how long it would have taken to get the bill paid, if I hadn't. The food was alright, typically priced airport food (burgers, fries, chicken) which was on the higher end, as usual. It did the job though. Lots of other restaurants to choose from in the airport, as well.

This restaurant is located in concourse 'E' at the MSP airport. I had the "ultimate burger" and it was excellent. My husband had the Turkey burger, which he also enjoyed. Food was hot, fries were crispy. Excellent service (thanks Rose). Prices were average for 2022.

Was really excited about this place from reviews I've seen and as it says in my bio....I love burgers. Upon walking in I took the liberty to help the server clean some tables in which she chewed me out for helping. I was quite taken aback. Sweet potato fries were cold, buffalo wings were dry and hard as a rock, and the ultimate burger mediocre at best,l. To top things off, the restaurant just had a feeling of unclean. I feel almost bad for writing this as I always try to look on the bright side of things but I would feel remiss if I didn't do my part to educate others. I will choose another burger joint next time I'm in Minnesota.

The Turkey Burger is the best I have ever had , hands down. This is a first for me , reviewing a restaurant at an airport. When in Minneapolis check out Red Cow .

Waiting for our flight to leave so stopped here to have a burger and a Moscow mule! The drink and burger were great tasting! It does not have individual tables for seating though, family style tables. The waitresses came back often to see if we needed anything.

Just had lunch here before a flight. I ordered the 60/40 burger with fries. The burger was one of the best I've ever had. It was perfectly done, slightly pink, juicy with a delicious bacon rich flavor. The fries were pretty boring, but they had other options for $1 more. Service was a little slow for an airport and I almost had to leave before my food came. Thankfully it came out right before I did and I was able to eat pretty quick and make my flight. Pretty great airport meal at a reasonable price.

Honestly we weren't sure what to expect from a quick service food truck inside an airport. We were pleasantly surprised by the burger we got which was not only freshly cooked put quite tasty and unique. The candied bacon and beer mustard gave it a special taste that we will not soon forget. Though it was strange that are two orders of fries were vastly differently cooked. One order was perfect, crisp, and delicious the other undercooked and Soggy. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the blatant difference between the two fries. Otherwise great service, great prices, and delicious food for being inside an airport.

I was stopped for a bite at Red Cow this past Tuesday, prior to boarding my flight, and I left my wallet on the table. Before I even realized it was missing, the staff at Red Cow checked with security, found which flight I was on, and took my wallet to the gate. They alerted me at the gate and returned my wallet to me as I boarded. A remarkable example of customer service and I cannot thank the Red Cow team enough. Thank you!

I fly 4 times a month and never miss a stop here. The wine glasses are the best part of my trip! I even stop when I land to come home before I get in my uber! Molly and Lisa are so much fun and are the perfect beginning and end of my trips! The grilled cheese is so good and the breakfast is also super good! I have come from concourse C all the way to E to see my girls and have a glass of wine!

I sat at the bar. The service was friendly and quick. It is a long u-shaped bar. The liquor bottles are kept in back shelf so you cannot see them. They have a whiskey menu which some local choices. The food came out good and it was good. I would go back there.

While in MSP airport we looked for somewhere to eat, and their menu looked so good. Well what you read and the actual food were completely different. I had the Turkey burger, lacked the flavor. Looked so good in writing. He had the double barrel burger which he enjoyed. Our server was great, so we tipped her well. So nice to have someone who knows how to do their job and obviously loves it.

A friendly atmosphere with a good vibe greeted us. Good start. Then the menu arrived. Couldn't read it. Small print. Dark lighting. Old eyes. Asked waitstaff for more light. Manager came by to greet us. Raved Red Cow has "best burgers" in The Cities. Ok. Let's see. Hot Appetizers were cold. Waitstaff forgot the salad I ordered. The burger was ordered medium, Arrived well done. Nice people but not the best dining experience nor the best burger. Go somewhere else.
