From the very first bite, Red Cow St. Paul impresses with its flavorful Scotch Eggs and the uniquely satisfying Ahi Tuna Burger, which pairs fresh, expertly seared tuna with creative accompaniments that dazzle the senses.

    Delicious food, incredible staff, great vibes. We went on a Saturday around 1pm and were lucky enough to get a seat by the window with a beautiful view of the street. The hostess, server, and all the staff were so so so friendly. The food was amazing. I loved my grilled cheese!! Definitely recommend eating here!

    We had the BEST service! Our server was so friendly and on top of it! I ordered like 4 different drinks at once, as Im a self-proclaimed beverage goblin. He was a good sport! Food was great. OMG, CHEESE CURDS, Y'ALL! And the homemade chips- stahhhhp. Their mild sauce is called Minnesota Nice, and I died. It was exactly what we all needed after a day of mourning the assasination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and protesting our current dictator.

    My highest praises yet. DO NOT SKIP this place! Stop by and try their food, especially the truffle fries! The fragrance of the food is so good, you can taste it before you even sink your teeth into it. Order ahead and pick it up! It was so good I had to review it before finishing the food!

    Red Cow has my favorite burger and truffle fries in the Twin Cities. The quality is always consistent, and the service has been great every time. My absolute favorite is the breakfast burger ( sourdough is too chewy so I always get regular burger bun instead). The egg in the middle with the peanut butter is soooooooo good. Sadly, they moved it to the brunch menu during the egg shortage, and I’m still not sure if it’s back on the regular menu yet. Parking can be a bit tricky, and it gets pretty busy during meal times. They do take reservations, and I highly recommend making one, otherwise you might be waiting 15–20 minutes.

    Great food, great service and great ambiance! The homemade potato chips and french onion dip was so good we forgot to take a picture. We had the 60/40 burger and it was amazing. The tuna melt was just as good. Definitely try this place out you wont be disappointed!
