Sacred Cow Tavern

This place definitely deserves more than 5 stars. Found this place on google search figured we would give it a go. It is very cozy and comfy and fun inside. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing before we left we tried a cocktail and cheesecake for dessert, both were absolutely amazing. I liked the food looked and tasted fresh nothing, tasted like it was frozen or microwaved like some places. We will definitely visit again and I encourage you to stop by get a drink or something to eat you won’t regret it.

The food is awesome - my favorite is the burger but I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve ordered off the menu. Happy hour is great and being able to bring my dog to the patio is a bonus too.

Fun atmosphere with great food & service. The salads are unique, huge, fresh & the best in the area. Pictured is the Elote corn & grilled shrimp salad.other favorites include the soft pretzel salad & Mediterranean salad.

FANTASTIC - this place has some amazing food. Probably the best I’ve had in Cedar Rapids by far. The burgers are smash burgers and are cooked to absolute perfection. I’ve had a looooot of burger and this is very near the top of the best list. Their curds and elote stuff are just off the charts. Also, try that pickle beer, it’s goooood. Eat here. Be happy.

Service was excellent. The food was really good! The pricing of meals I feel was really good! I think a double cheeseburger was about $14 or $15? And it was big! Great specials! The BLT was big! I had the cheese steak with gyro chicken instead, and the chicken had great flavor! I really liked the pepperjack cheese sauce they make. And the side winders were seasoned and good! UPDATE been a while since i was last here. Their burgers are smash burgers, and really good. They changed their fries from sidewinders to fries that were thick, fluffy potato slices, which were really good! Had a bloody mary, they use zing zang for their tomato juice which I was perfectly fine with with their rail vodka. Had the monster burger, which is not on their menu. Was charged for the burger I originally ordered, which was cheaper than their monster burger. It was soooooo good! Their coleslaw had great fla or also!

I can't believe we hadn't been here before! I love the fun interior of this place. The upside down lamps made me smile. You can go with just you, you and a friend, or a group and find a fabulous experience. Service was great and the food came quickly. TVs are scattered high on the walls, so going during game time works out great! The fries were not what I expected and they were so much better than I imagined (I'm picky about fries)!! Great with just a single condiment or get them loaded! You'll see a picture of the Backwoods burger, which is a smashed burger dripping in a homemade BBQ sauce and topped with bacon, cheese, and onion tanglers. *We didn't know what to expect, so we got the single smash burger. It was enough for us! You'll also see the Poutine burger, which is also a smash burger with mushrooms, cheese curds, fries, gravy, and onion tanglers. We'll return, for sure!

Lydia, our server was fantastic! What a great neighborhood place. Their happy hour is 3 to 6 every day. The dipper potato fries are something very different and delicious. The fish was OK. Will definitely be back to try more menu items. House made pickles crunchy with a sweet tang.

Great small tavern for good bar food. They have some unusual items like dill pickle soup. It was very good. There is vegetarian, vegan and gluten free in the menu. Service was good and had neat decorations. We went early and it was packed. Acoustics are not the greatest so it was loud with everyone talking. Good expedience we will be back.
