The Cow Cafe & Grill - American restaurant in Oroville - 935 Oro Dam Blvd E, USA

WOW! THIS PLACE IS THE BEST CAFE IN CALIFORNIA! Do yourself a favor and stop by with your family. First, they are super kid-friendly. The high chairs are clean. The staff is EXTREMELY FRIENDLY. I heard the table next to us have a bit of a hiccup, and they were super polite but hungry. Unfortunately, we got our food before them, and they had been seated before our table. They went above and beyond, even comping their breakfast! I love the business attitude because those locals keep coming back! Prices are regular, but the QUALITY is supreme.

Our family LOVES this place. We call it The Cow. There has been a cow atop this restaurant as long as I can remember. It actually…. might be a steer. Cattle words? Not an expert here. We have had good service here consistently: when busy (which is mostly) when not, when it picks up after we get there, etc. Coffee is good and hot and usually full. They keep it coming! Has real tasting half and half little creamers. I haven’t tried the other creamers. Staff efficient and friendly and the food tastes good! We love going here. The price is comparable to other restaurants in the area. My kids usually get something from the kid menu and I really like all the omelets I’ve tried. They are pretty big by the way.

Overall, slow service, servers who werent happy, mediocre food. Ordered mushroom swiss burger, medium patty. Came out well done. Onion rings were not fried all the way, greasy batter. Was charged extra for something I didnt order. Wont be back.

We go here alot! The g Food is great & usually we have a great server but today we had an awful one. She was younger never smiled once. It took forever to come to out table. Other people who came in way after us ordered with the awesome server got their food before we even ordered. Had to ask the hostess if we were going to get waited on. Then when she came she talked over the top of us trying to order. I left no tip for her once again. When we go again if she is going to be or server I will leave. We give good tips when we are there with others. If you don't like serving people then why are you a waitress? We weren't demanding or rude or anything. Just like to get waited on like other people in the restaurant

This was my first time and definitely not my last! Great experience at The Cow, my dad accidentally spilled his drink and the staff came right over to clean it up. They have fantastic staff and their service is excellent! I had their french toast, it was moist and oh so yummy! I really liked that they give you a lot of butter to go with the french toast. My dad had their ribeye steak and he said that’s the best steak I’ve ever had. I didn’t have any steak since I don’t usually eat steak although he loved it! I forgot the name of our server but he was a black guy and he was so funny. We all loved that guy! Will come back again when we visit California.

Surprisingly great food. Had the fried pickles and they are perhaps the best I have had anywhere in the country. The burger was as promised and cooked to my exact specification. I love it when a place asks how you would like your burger cooked and they actually deliver. Service was outstanding. Onion rings were delightful and salad was good.

My number one complaint is that the food is average however for their policy to charge an extra fee because you use an ATM or a Visa is ridiculous because due to the cost of the food that fee should be covered in the price that they already charge. This is the only place in town that penalizes the customer for charging a fee for using your ATM or credit card My second complaint is that the portions of food that you receive varies based on the cook. A good example of that is ordering the spaghetti dinner one time you order it and it's a full bowl that is a small bowl to begin with and the second time you order it in the same ball it's half the portion you got last time you ordered it. I gave two stars for service because when the server picks up the food to bring to your table they should recognize that the portions are not equally the same when they pick them up to deliver to you at that point they should be looking at what they're serving and before they bring it to the customer they should bring it to the attention of the cook that it's not a normal portion . I did not rate the atmosphere as it's nothing special one way or the other.

The Cow-First time coming under this new ownership and it was excellent! Ordered the Reuben and garlic fries, they were super crispy and yummy. My husband ordered breakfast and the sausage was huge, packed with flavor, and butter soft. The service was excellent, food came out fast, she brought the bill with the food so we didn't have to wait after, extra napkins, salt/pepper/condiments everything came out very quick. We were impressed. Definitely be back!
