Mad Cow

I was looking for a place to bring my family for a good burger. I checked Yelp to see what was around me that I haven't tried yet and noticed Mad Cow. The thing that really got my attention though were the ginormous onion rings. My gosh, they looked so good. Gotta give them a try for those. Food-wise, the menu is a good mix of bar food and Americana. Most of my party tried a burger. The burger menu had a good mix of classic and some more interesting ones like a Peanut Thai Jelly Burger. I went with a classic BBQ burger because it came with one of those giant onion rings. The ring was the largest part of my sandwich, so good. Burgers were not huge but still filling. We also tried an order of the onion rings. They were huge and had a good beer batter on them. The horseradish sauce paired well with them. The two winners at this place though were the kids meals and a surprising pasta dish. The kids meal clock in at only $6 but the quality and portion size was a great deal. My kid's pizzas were made fresh and super tasty. The fruit side was actually fresh fruit and not a stale fruit cup. My wife didn't feel like a burger and so got the Carbonara Pasta. It was super tasty and the portion made it into a two-meal dish. I stole a couple bites and it was super tasty. Honestly, I would probably come back and order that instead of a burger. Prices were decent and service was good. The wait to get our food was a tad slow but we were in no rush. Game time deals are very generous and their happy hour specials are not bad. A good choice to meet up and watch the big game in Eagan.

We ordered a sandwich, a wrap, and a burger from here via DoorDash. All 3 went in the garbage.Everything tasted like there was a scoop of sugar on top. Way too sweet for us. Gave a two stars because the tater tots were good.

Here's a more polished and engaging version of your review:**"We stopped by on a Friday around 2 PM to avoid the happy hour rush. Service was prompt, and our food arrived quickly.I ordered the California burger, which was pretty standard--nothing that really stood out. The fries, however, were a bit different from the usual and surprisingly good.Overall, the bar itself was underwhelming, and the food was just average. Not a bad spot, but nothing particularly memorable either.

We came here on a Saturday night when we had to kill a few hours after dropping our nephew off at an activity. It's nothing fancy. It was not busy, and we were seated right away. Our server was friendly enough and we ordered pretty quickly. There were gluten free designations on the menu which was helpful. I got the quesabirria and my husband got the cheese curd burger with dill fries. My quesabirria was pretty good for it not being a Mexican restaurant. It was cheesy and wasn't spicy, but left something to be desired that only authentic Mexican cuisine can really provide. My husband enjoyed the dill fries but said the burger was pretty disappointing for it being a burger place.

Service was great! Excellent burger with innovative toppings: Berry Bleu Burger) Fries were very well seasoned. Fun atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed their food. Would definitely come back.

Yearning for a good burger I stopped in at Mad Cow to see what the menu had to offer. It was early in the day so it was a seat your self kidn of moment. Honestly I believe there were two servers at the time but shout out to them because they did a good job in attending to all the patrons. Sport bsar ambiance, its definitely a place to brign a friend and grab a beer. Shit back and watch the sports of your choice, as well as sa good gathering spot for your crew. I went with the rodeo cow burger. Cheddar cheese, bacon, one jumbo onion ring piled on top of a homemade burger drizzled with blackberry BBQ saue is just what I needed. I can not say I am 100 percent sold on the fries but they werek good.

Friends and I came here for dinner last night around 7:30pm- not too busy for late Friday dinner. Started off with an order of onion rings with two sides of the creamy horseradish sauce. I love how the onion rings are thick and not greasy. In the past, I remember the creamery horseradish sauce being more horseradish tasting which I loved, but the sauce we got was still good. I just love and appreciate a strong horseradish flavor. One of my friend's and I shared the wrangler burger. I appreciated how the kitchen split our burger. Huge thank you- not all restaurants will do that. Burger was cooked perfectly and flavorful. Lasso fries were good as well. I like how this restaurant has the openness to it. Variety of seating- bar, high tops, regular tables, booths, and outdoor seating with fire pits. Appears there are always garage doors that can be opened when nice weather is upon us. There's a pull-tab booth if you'd like test your luck. I also noticed they offer bar Bingo Thursday evenings, I may have to check that out sometime. One thing I find unique about Mad Cow that just makes me laugh is they have cheeseballs in a popcorn machine in the bar area. Our service was average- nothing memorable. Overall, good experience. I'll be back in the future for onion rings and to test my luck at bar bingo.

A great stop for dinner. Staff was friendly and we enjoyed the openness with the ability for the garage doors to be open on nice weather days. We had the Yum Yum Wings which turned out nice, The Flaming Bleu Berry burger with dilly fries, and the Bacon Curd Burger and baked potato.

I'm a huge fan of this place in Eagan! In the summer, it's great to sit outside on their patio, but they have ample seating inside as well. It can definitely get pretty loud and echoey inside and has a light sports bar energy, so keep this in mind if you're with people who are hard of hearing or like a softer ambiance. My absolute favorite is the Muddy Italiano and I order this almost every single time I come here.The service varies depending on how busy the restaurant gets, but I've never had terrible service. This is a good no-frills joint with a light sports bar energy combined with a fun menu.

If not for the manager that compensated the food this would be zero stars, our server was quite bad, had zero personality and had the "I don't want to be here" attitude.The food was just terrible, you would think that a place with "burgers and brews" would have good burgers, but unfortunately (surprisingly?) that was not the case. One ordered medium came well done and dry, the other ordered well done was a black and hard.Lastly I do again want to give a strong thumbs up to the manager, she was apologetic and seemed to be genuinely empathetic that it was as bad as it was, but unfortunately that would not make me want to come back due to the food being just awful.
