Red Cow Uptown

We used Red Cow’s catering for our wedding party rehearsal dinner and could not have been more pleased! The entire process—from ordering to setup—was absolutely seamless. Everything looked so polished and professional, setting the perfect tone for the evening. A huge shoutout to Emily, who went above and beyond with her recommendations. She helped us navigate allergy accommodations with ease and guided us to the most popular (and delicious) menu items. Our guests loved the variety of sliders. The 60/40 sliders were definitely a crowd favorite!! We were so impressed by the quality, presentation, and service. Looking forward to working with Red Cow again for future events!

Very good food. Kind of a chill vibe that doesn’t feel too bar like but they have a nice bar if you want that. Chicken Club was amazing as was the Baja bowl and the potatoes. Service was very good. Max did an excellent job. In-laws used Red Cow for catering a large family event and it was amazing…the food and the delivery. Everyone raved about the food. Jeremy the mgr was also great and came by our table to check to see if we had a nice meal. Highly recommend.

This will be the first review i leave half way through the experiences. First off i feel like someone told them i was Michelin star or some sort of reviewer but then i see everyone else getting that same level of service. From the first call i made to see if the patio was dog friendly to the first drink and the care and time they put in making sure my wings were right I’m just in awe. Its 11:20 on Saturday so to the owners-whoever is on this crew you need to address because from the hostess to the manager to the bartender this is stellar. I recommend to anyone for whatever you are looking for especially a good drink with Brunch. The in house nitro cold brew is a great pick me up

Ultimate burger was fantastic. Chicken tenders were moist and juicy. Service was perfect. Highly recommend.

I took my nephew to the Uptown Red Cow for his Birthday. All I can say is: WOW!!! We weren't in the mood for burgers (they also are AMAZING!). My nephew had a steak (see photo). He said this was the BEST steak he's ever had, and steak is his jam! I had a Tuna Melt which was delicious and we ordered homemade chips and dip, yummy. Then because this was a Birthday Celebration we had warm mini donuts dusted with cinnamon sugar. We decided to make this a yearly event. The staff was wonderful, knowledgeable and attentive. Thanks.

Dining at a Red Cow is always a great option: approachable menu and atmosphere, good food - good service. But I wanted to highlight how great their catering menu is. As an Office Manager, who needs to cater to varying dietary needs, ordering a variety of the sliders always makes our staff happy. The sliders are so delicious, nicely packaged, and a special treat. Their catering staff is always helpful, responsive, and orders are always on time. I would highly recommend using Red Cow catering for any office or personal events - you won't be disappointed.

We had a excellent dining experience. Customer service top notch. My son ordered chicken/waffles off the brunch menu, he didn't like it. The manager was great and decided to take it off. We didn't even ask for that. I was just letting the waitress know why he didn't eat it. Highly recommend the double barrel burger, it was very good.

I have always enjoyed red cow and was really excited for the Red Nose eoom this year. The special offerings were fun, and the place was all decked out! Pricy, but you're paying for the experience, and the wait was over an hour for a table, but that's first come, first serve for things like this, so plan ahead! We just hung out and had some drinks in the ski chalet until our table was ready.

Never disappoints! I ordered take out from here and tried something new. I usually get one of their chicken sandwiches but it wasn't on the menu so I decided to try the burger. I was impressed. The burger was cooked perfectly and had really good flavor with the bacon and cheese. I did the up charge for the truffle fries because they are SO WORTH IT. The food was ready quickly as it was a take out ordered. I like that there is a parking lot and street parking which makes it convenient to run in and grab the order. I have eaten here a couple times before and love the vibe and the lighting. You can fit groups of any size or just stop in for foot during a sporting event. Highly recommend checking it out.

Have you ever had a Tennessee hot chicken sandwich? The menu said Minnesota nice if needed but in my opinion, it could be a little hotter. The chicken sandwich was delightful, cooked perfectly, nice, and had a nice tasting crunch. 4.5/5 Cookies and cream shake: the shake was pretty thick when I received it. There's nothing special about the shake, but it is a nice tasting shake. I probably wouldn't get it again but it is a shake. 3/5

Solo date vibes and didn't disappoint! This Barcelona burger was on point. Bun was soft and toasty, burger was pink but also perfectly cooked. The manchego cheese and piquillo peppers were perfection. I love prosciutto so that's what initially sold me on this burger. I would say this is probably one of the better burger spots in Uptown if not the best! Service was speedy and the bartender kept my water and cocktail full.

This review is for the holiday popup. The decorations are amazing and it's so much to be in the holiday spirits. I love the photo booths and the special drinks but be prepared to wait. We were there on a Thursday night and wait times were up to 2 hours. The bar was very busy, we were offered a drink menu while we waited and that took a while. Drinks were so-so, more ice than actual drink but definitely needed more shaking. Fun for the festive decor and photo ops but be prepared to wait.

Love this place. Easily top 3 burger I've ever eaten! Sad they are getting rid of their bowls and brining in poke bowls.... Chips and curds are a phenomenal start !

Food:3/5 Service:4/5 Ambiance:4/5 Value:3/5 We flew from NY for brunch out of random pick. Waited 30 mins. Long line around 1pm local time. Unfortunately the wait did not guarantee good dishes. Disappointed. Japanese sticky dry rub wings (3/5). The outer layer is very crispy flavorful but bland inside. To make sure we placed two orders. Harvest salad (1/5). This is the biggest dismay. Extremely oily and kale is FRIED and other ingredients are smothered into olive oil. No green leafy ingredients but with a few very hard chunky Brussels sprouts. I could not touch much. Red Cow salad (2/5). Again too much olive oil! Killed the healthy sense of delightful salads that supposed to be. Red Cow world-winner burger (3/5). Midpoint. Cheese curds (4/5). This one is savory and enjoyable. The only dish lives up to the expectation. Toast (3/5). Average. Caramelized milk shake (1/5). A piece of long human protein came with the shake. Returned and they made another one.

Get the Japanese sticky wings and chips and onion dip' Stopped by for a quick cocktail after the uptown art fair. Service was little spotty but enjoyed the vibe. Will be back for happy hour

I recently visited Red Cow Uptown for brunch, and I must say it was a wonderful experience. One of the first things that impressed me was the convenience of parking, as they had both parking spaces on the side of the building and ample street parking available. The drink selection at Red Cow Uptown was fantastic. I had the pleasure of trying their brunch flight, which was a delightful assortment of beverages. Each drink was carefully crafted and complemented the food perfectly. Speaking of food, I opted for the classic egg Benedict while my friend went for Pete's breakfast. Both dishes were exceptional. The overall dining experience at Red Cow Uptown was excellent. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the service was attentive and friendly, and the food was simply outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch and are already looking forward to returning.

I had parked at a Walgreens in uptown Minneapolis and was walking along Hennepin Avenue to get to Sencha Tea Bar. I saw this Red Cow and it put a smile on my face. Last October, I had visited the Red Cow in North Loop and loved it. The next day, I returned to the uptown area to shop at Cheapo Records. Afterwards, I drove over to this Red Cow for dinner. You can't miss it, as there's a huge sign by the street light that faces Hennepin. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I backed into one. It's free for Red Cow customers. I then walked into the eatery. A man came to greet me. I asked for a table and was promptly seated in a cozy corner. The bar was to my right, but I had a short wall that kept things intimate and private. I had the nicest server. She was responsive throughout my stay. I ordered the following items: - Diet Coke - Mushroom and swiss burger with tots - Avocado cheesecake Water and my Diet Coke came out first. Both were cold and refreshing after a fun time looking at CDs. My server came over a bit later to light the small candle on my table. It was nice. I like the mushroom and swiss burger at Red Cow. This franchise makes excellent burgers. I tend to get mine well-done because I had food poisoning getting a medium burger at an eatery at MSP Airport. Every time I pass by that place, I don't feel like getting anything there. Food poisoning experiences are sadly memorable. I digress. The burger here was fabulous. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I loved the sauteed mushrooms and melted swiss cheese. The bun was soft and yummy. The tots are my favourite here. They were crispy on the outside and creamy inside. So good! For dessert, I wanted something small. I found a single-serve portion of avocado cheesecake on the menu. Yes! It was also gluten-free. This dessert hit the spot. It was cute in a small mason jar. The avocado cheesecake was creamy and oddly light. I didn't feel like I was having a rich, dense cheesecake. The crumble at the bottom was the right amount. It was loose, which I appreciated. I don't like when it's a hard crust and I look like I'm excavating to break it up before I eat it. I paid for my bill at the table. I gave my credit card to my server, who ran it through her portable payment machine. I tipped. Done! The women's washroom was around the corner from my table. It was clean and nicely maintained. I had an excellent experience at this Red Cow. There are a grand total of four Red Cow locations in Minnesota (three in the Twin Cities and one in Rochester). It's nice that I've been to half of them. This one was wonderful. I'll be back for more. (99)

Came right when they opened for brunch at 10 am on a Saturday. We had a group of 5 and we're seated right away! Our waitress mentioned she's normally a bartender but she did a pretty good job! The holiday drinks were fun (loaded with a ton of ice but hey that's how cocktails can be) and all food ordered was enjoyed! Giving 4 stars instead of 5 cause it's a solid place, not exceptional. Definitely fun seeing the seasonal decor though!

This place is delicious if you've got the money for it. It's like a 90 dollar dinner for two, though, so be ready to pay

Meh . . . It was ok. Overpriced, the food was mid, our service was bland, the place was dreadful, the prices high. Lol everything you wouldn't ask for in a restaurant experience. I used to get a pretty decent burger here, I won't return again.

Everyone likes a burger, and if you want to amp it up a bit, this is your place one can get as simple or as fancy as one desires. Saturday has a brunch menu that ranges from some breakfast basics to....well burgers. The totally cool thing of the day was the breakfast Old Fashioned. A well balanced cocktail and comes with a French toast which you can dip into your drink. They also have a decent tap list from breweries from near and far including a few nitro options. Sadly my first choice, the Manhattan Burger which has beef marrow on it is no longer an option. We have it for the mushroom and Swiss burger and the brunch option of cow hands. Both were pretty good . I really like this location. Too bad it's a bit of a jaunt from where I live otherwise, this would be a weekly haunt for me.

I've been a regular here for awhile now and I now love their fries! Gluten free fryer still and they take celiac disease very seriously. I love the boneless wings, a little salty.... But I love salty! They also have a NA wine which is important to me because I am a non-drinker. Lots of great NA options.

Food very tasty. The curds were very good. Maybe a little greasy but that's like bottom of the basket. You'd never expect triple berry ketchup to work till you try it. Had the Bourbon Chicken (grilled) sandwich, great. One I'd crave anywhere I live. Vibe is bar. Not much else you can say there. Sat at the bar. Bartenders were social and gave good recs when asked. Shoutout to the forced taste of the pumpkin beer. One of the better pumpkin beers I've had. PS Beer selection is awesome. Something for everyone.

Red cow is one of the most consistent places you'll find. I can go for a burger, bowl, chicken sandwich, or the Japanese sticky wings. ALL ARE GREAT! I'm a regular at the uptown location. Red cow doesn't miss.

Great hang out space and parking in the rear if you don't want to park on the street. It was fairly busy for a Wednesday; we went around 630 and got the cheese curds and burgers. The cheese curds are fantastic! Gooey and the coating crunchy and light, make sure to get a side of ranch! For the burgers, my dining partner was vegetarian and the server informed him that one could sub any burger with an impossible patty. That blew his mind! For myself, I ordered the Barcelona burger with a side of slaw. It was a tasty burger, but it reminded me too much of country ham without the biscuit, would go without the ham next time. The slaw was incredible. I would definitely order it again, very refreshing and the Mayo wasn't thick like a certain Biblical chicken fast food chain. Service was good and the crowd typical for uptown iykyk.

Great food, great service, great vibe! Always enjoy stopping at a Red Cow! The beer selection is great and burgers are over the top!

Killer food vibes & ambiance, mama & AJ gave 5 star service were coming back, go here if you're in uptown

I should have left a review long ago. This is one of those rare places that understand you don't need to kill a beef patty, but also understand that a turkey burger does need more time to be safe. The patties are juicy, succulent, and savory. And I love a burger with just a little pink - it's not raw, but not overdone. Also, it's only seasonal, but their Christmas holiday decor and happy hour are 100% worth a trip. Just try to be there before 17:00 to beat the crowds to avoid a long wait. Edit: also, the staff is phenomenal and always eager to please despite some very~ big waitlists at busy hours.

Red Cow was my favorite place in the city when I lived here for a summer in 2019 and now, since moving back, I finally had the chance to give it a try again and my memories did not disappoint. Red Cow has some of the best burgers I've had in the Twin Cities and anywhere. This time when I visited, I ordered the 60/40 and substituted the mustard for their Red Cow secret sauce which I love. This was incredible. The burger is made out of 60% beef and 40% bacon and then it is topped with candied bacon. It is to die for, absolutely perfect burger. Some of my other favorites I've had here are the Ultimate if you are looking for just a standard cheeseburger, and then the Double Barrel if you are starving. I look forward to coming back, and definitely recommend sitting out on the patio area!

Waitstaff here is always really nice! Great place to get some unique burgers. I have gotten cheese curds here a few times now and as a cheese lover, I will say hit or miss. Sometimes just not crispy enough. Otherwise, good place to eat.

Red Cow in Uptown has a parking lot on the side which is convenient for where it is located on Hennepin. Red Cow is very good at gluten free and has a dedicated fryer for French fries,tater tots, and some appetizers. We started with the buffalo cauliflower appetizer that comes with ranch. For my meal, I got a gluten free patty melt with truffle fries. I really like their gluten free buns and bread and their truffle frites are really good. I didn't get sick from cross contamination with gluten and will come back to try some other items! The food is average price with the burgers around 15 dollars. The truffle fries are 2 dollars extra and the gluten free bun is extra as well. The service is always great and I'll continue to come back.

Great food. I have never had bad food at Red Cow. Most recently, I tried their turkey burger and it was delicious. For the holidays, they decorated this year and it felt very fun and festive.

Went there for brunch for the first time, and I'll definitely be back many more times very soon. The food, drinks and service was excellent! The breakfast of old-fashioned was the best

First let me say Red Cow has been a favorite for years. But the last few times I feel the service has been underwhelming. We always go for happy hour and sit at the bar. I don't know if it is because it is a time when the staff is turning over, but we are all but ignored and trust me, this place is NOT busy when we are there.

I have mixed feelings about this place. We came here because we were in a hurry and this was our first red cow experience. I would have rated it 3 starts if now for one thing. 2 of us got burger and chicken strips they were great. Two of us got the ahi sandwich and the fish and chips. I guess as the name says come here for the meat not the fish. Both were mediocre at best. The service and ambience was good although I would say service could have been a bit faster. We sat around for a bit before anyone came up to us. Bloody Mary was great so was the buffalo cauliflower. For ahi tuna copy Kona theirs is much better. The wish and chips don't use white fish it has no flavor. The reason for two stars is the one person who had the gator tots got sick off of them. I do not think we will be back.

Highly recommend Red Cow if you are looking for a good burger! Also my favorite cheese curds! They have a good berry ketchup, but I prefer a side of ranch and they got me some which was also really good (not sure, but it tasted like it was made in house). Our server and the host were very nice. They provided recommendations and made sure we had what we needed at all times. It has a bar vibe, but also very clean. I love trying new places, but sometime you just want something simple like a burger and fries that are consistently good! My food has always been good after multiple visits. And did I mention they have my favorite cheese curds!

Great burgers, nice brunch options, and my fave cheese curds with a triple berry ketchup that I could literally eat on every.thing! Deeelish and really were the reason for our recent trip. If you go during brunch, they give you a couple free mini donuts that were hot out of the fryer too. Cute little touch! They've paired down their burger menu since pre-covid days, which was disappointing because a couple of my previous faves, like the buffalo burger, are no longer on their menu.

Red cow is always five stars. My review this time is for delivery. I ordered the turkey burger with an upgrade to tots. We all know the turkey burger is fantastic but their tots travel better than any other take out tots I've had! No sogginess and no condensation!

Red Cow is part of a restaurant group that owns a few locations around the Twin Cities (including the sister restaurant Red Rabbit). It's casual without being bro-y and has a good beer menu and decent variety of labeled vegan options. The SoCal burger is their main vegan burger option ($18). It's an Impossible burger with vegan cheese and avocado. It's a great rendition and easily the best Impossible burger in the Twin Cities, mostly because of the excellent bun, fresh vegetables and double-thick patty. They recently added the Umami burger, which is an Impossible patty mixed with mushrooms and topped with fried mushrooms. It was fine, but the SoCal burger is better. You can get tater tots for an extra $2 which is nice (their fries are fine, but tater tots are so much better). The beer selection here is unusually good and eclectic given the location. You can get sours and local beers (like Pryes and Modist) and occasionally a decent cider. Pre-pandemic, Red Cow used to have a vegan dessert and occasional vegan specials (I think they had a vegan fish fry once), so I hope they keep expanding their offerings. As it stands, stop by for a drink and a burger on the patio.

So glad I was finally able to go to Red Cow for the first time! I've heard great things about their burgers but as a vegetarian I was excited to try their grilled cheese. It did not disappoint! It was just the right amount of cheesiness with a little extra crunch from the BBQ chips they put in the sandwich. It came with a tomato soup which was perfect for dipping. The decor was so cute and cozy with lots of lights and greenery out for the holidays. Our server was helpful and the service was quick, which I always appreciate!

My husband and I came here during lunch time. We ordered cheese curds, scotch eggs, and the double barrel burger. The cheese curds were good, but the battering seemed a little greasy. The cheese curds came with ranch and the berry ketchup. Berry ketchup is similar to a berry jam. I didn't like it, but it's an acquired taste. The scotch eggs were pretty amazing with the mustard. I'm not a mustard fan, but it definitely was a good try. Then the double barrel burger was awesome. The pickles that came on the side were house made and a bit on the sweeter side, instead of being tart. But the burger was smash patties that tasted spectacular! The service was quick and friendly! The overall ambiance of the place was relaxing and a bit on the higher end side, but a good burger place. I would come back!

Tonight the food was good but it was the service that was beyond stellar. Our server Dillynn was very helpful, personable and really knew what to do tonight when my friend, who is strictly Keto, asked about keto-friendly drinks: She had Aaron, the bartender, come visit our table to discuss options with my friend. The staff, as a whole, worked as a team and it showed. Thank you for an excellent dining experience!

Amazing food and I love their salads! Very friendly and welcoming staff. There's also a back patio and nearby parking.

Love the food here. The staff have a great energy and the location lags a good vibe. Highly recommend

And here is where I fell in love with Red Cow's house made ginger beer. That's really all you need to know, but into the rest of it. Their Turkey burger is hands-down the best Turkey burger I've had in the Twin Cities. Their salmon burger is also incredible. I love their sweet potato fries, but the truffle fries are pretty legit too. All of the sides and desserts are great, but the mini donuts are just too good to be true. I only give a 4 star review because they don't take reservations, but plan ahead and that's hardly a problem!

Every person who lives here knows Red Cow is the spot when you just don't know what sounds good. Can't go wrong here. - Sweet potato fries are solid - truffle aioli yessssss - bloody marys especially if you like it with some spice - their breakfast options - vegetarian burger is fantastic as well - Japanese sticky wings Alll the above I would recommend!!

Had drinks and appetizers with my coworker yesterday- Red Cow never disappoints! We both ordered Spicy Bloody Marys and had cheese curds to share. The Bloody Marys were delicious! They came with a pickle, an olive, a beef Stick, and piece of Cheese. Drink was strong and taste was consistent throughout: Delicious drink with nice added skewer snacks. I was happy to get a beer sidecar- The proper way to serve a Bloody Mary!! The cheese curds were out of this world- being a cheese curd aficionado, my standards are high and these definitely exceeded them! The triple berry ketchup is a stand alone star, so when added to the beer-battered curd you get a perfect pairing. COVID Procedures: The restaurant tables were distanced, the servers were all wearing masks and staff were cleaning between customers- Overall the dining inexperience felt very safe. Serve was extremely friendly, nice, and attentive making the whole dining experience wonderful! Can not recommend going for a quiet midday snack enough!

We enjoyed a nice, relaxing lunch. The restaurant was not very busy, we were sat the moment we walked in the door. Hostess/manager, I think, was very friendly and very polite. Our server was also very friendly and efficient. There was three of us, and we each ordered a burger and split an appetizer of scotch eggs. We each had two draft beers as well. Everything was delicious, but with gratuity, and the additional surcharge, our bill was about $150 which still shocks me thinking about it. I looked at the receipt several times when I got home thinking it had to be a mistake, but it was all correct just a very expensive meal of burgers and beer. I'd probably go back, just not quite as often.

Got a Sunday night craving for a burger and Red Cow was the perfect way to satisfy that! We ordered 3 burgers via their online system which was super easy. The estimated wait was only about 20 minutes. We pulled into their private parking lot (a huge a-frame sign is outside the restaurant that you cannot miss) and there was someone there to greet us and get the name for the order. A minute later they handed over our order and we were on our way! I am super pleased with the ease of this. For the food, I got the 60/40 with regular fries! This was my first 60/40 which I have heard only good things about! It did not disappoint! Another star - their ketchup!!! It's housemade and there's definitely a difference! It is sooo good! Red Cow is a Twin Cities staple and will definitely continue to be a go-to for future burger cravings!

Yummy food Allergy friendly The best burgers Love the sweet potato wedges Order in and been at a few locations as well

This place is honestly so good every time. Chicken strips are outta this world. Highly suggest the double barrel burger. We really appreciated Jeremy and Natalie's service. We will be back soon!

I finally got to eat inside. I love this part of Mpls. What got me over here was supporting military spouses through the Think Great Foundation. I only had to get a specially made Warrior Burger. I had them deconstruct it with no bun, jalapenos or relish. They placed the cheeseburger on flat fried cheese and I would dip it in the pimento cheese spread which was fabulous. I forgot how amazing the lemonade and I couldn't believe that they gave me a refill. Most places are so cheap about that. Great staff. This may be my go to Red Cow. Get on their email, they often have fun things like this happening and it's usually this location.

Nice spot in uptown, I enjoyed the cheese curds and chicken tenders for happy hour. The patio section is a nice option for summer dining.

I picked up some delicious Wings from @redcowmn last weekend. Known for their Fine Burgers, Beer, and Wine, I love pairing the Wings with anything on their menu. They were crispy and Flavorful! * Dry Rubbed Wings with Blue Cheese

Uptown Minneapolis has a happening restaurant and bar scene. Walking along its Main Streets of Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street in the heart of Uptown, we passed an abundance of restaurants and bars. One of them we did not pass is the Red Cow. That is because we decided to take a break from urban hiking and have lunch in the Red Cow. Established in August of 2017, the owners Luke Shimp and Tracy Bachul (husband and wife) gave Uptown Minneapolis a modern tavern where guests can enjoy a variety of food and drinks that feature specialty burgers, vegan, craft beer, and approximately forty varieties of wine. They complimented their modern tavern with the name Red Cow. The "red" means wine and the "cow" means beef. Uptown is their third location. The Red Cow reminds me more of a modern burger restaurant than a typical tavern. The way it is set up is that you walk into the center where the host station is. The large bar is in the room to the right where the dining room and 1,000 square foot outdoor patio is to the left. Regardless that the weather was beautiful in Minneapolis we sat inside where there was abundant sunlight. I ordered the Ultimate Burger. At $11.75, I consider it is a solid deal. This is about the same price as the upper tier fast food chains. For a similar price point, The Red Cow cooked me a mouth watering Certified Angus Beef burger made from scratch that included Wisconsin Aged Cheddar Cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomato, onions, and Red Cow Sauce. It included hand-cut fries. I give the Ultimate Burger and hand-cut fries four stars. Although they specialize in craft beer and the, "red" in the name means wine, I was content with a Coke. Throughout the meal our Waitress did a good job serving our table. She had a pleasant attitude. This isn't one of those restaurants where the food is great but the service is lacking. Since Red Cow opened in August of 2017, it has contributed positively to the Uptown Minneapolis dining scene. They serve very good burgers in a pleasant atmosphere for a solid price. We made the right decision choosing the Red Cow on the long urban hike from downtown to Bda Maka Ska.

Went for an early ish dinner, table of four. Seated immediately, awesome server! Shareables were ok but sandwiches and burgers were amazing!

Great service! The food was amazing! The manager even came over to our table and talked to us about our menu choices. He recommended a drink, which my partner loved, and made us feel very welcome. I loved being there (an NBA game was playing) and highly recommend anyone visiting this place!
