Blue Cow Milkshakes & Smoothies in Stratford-on-Avon

The Cow Eatery Is a treasure! We stopped for a late afternoon snack after driving Deer Creek Canyon. Cute funky place with friendly service and amazing chili Rihanna‘s.

Pretty good food, GREAT service!! Will definitely be back again!

This place gets five stars just because of how good the food was. They could have charged me for two burgers and I would not have been mad. I had the gyro burger, and I loved it. The flavored drinks are properly (not lightly) flavored. I would come here again. It is unlikely that you will be dissatisfied with the food. The atmosphere and service were average

Cozy diner with mostly classic fare but some fun unique options too. Their hash browns are amazing!

Phenomenal food! And even better service!

Service was fine but the food not so much. Last time I ate there felt same way. Was hoping it was a one time thing. But was disappointed once again. The food use to be great under the original owners. This time I had French toast. Thinking you can’t mess up French toast but I was wrong. The bread was extremely thick which is fine if soaked. When I cut into it was just plan bread. The out side was lightly coated with egg mix. Was basically eating piece of bread with syrup on it. Husband had breakfast burrito and he wasn’t impressed either. New owners shouldn’t have messed with the kitchen or menu. Was great before. Next time eat breakfast will be going back to Morrison Inn where we have had much better food.

Food was cold, fries are not good. Milkshake was bland. Im not sure how this place has good reviews. Waiter was good that was about it.

Some of the worst food I’ve ever eaten. I don’t know how this place has such good reviews???

As always, our goto place for a consistently good meal, especially when we don't want to cook or just want a coY place to eat with our friends and their signature veggies and salad are the best.

At least for the meals I get, the food is always excellent. And the service matches the food at least.

People = Excellent. Food = Bland. You can do it better with a trip to King Soopers.

Very good, casual breakfast, definitely recommend.

The Cow restaurant in Morrison Colorado has the best food and the best service out there.

Food is always good here. I have tried a lot of things, hamburgers, sandwiches, soft serve ice cream. I love their salad and onion rings.

It may look small from the outside; the inside is busting with personality. Had amazing people that I was able to share a meal and discussed life at the same time. (I went alone). I had one of their specials and it was so good. I will be returning for sure.

I've usually had a great experience here up until my most recent visit. The server that was taking care of me vanished and was replaced by a younger guy. I wasn't finished with my meal when he slapped the bill on my table without asking if I needed anything else. I saw the sign for hot chocolate, and since it was a cold day, I was going to order one with some Bailey's. Money lost on their part. I also looked back while leaving and saw him pocket the cash that was meant for my server. As an onlooker, it appears this guy stole my server's tip (which was doubled for the holiday), and I felt kicked out. I had received great hospitality until this kid came waltzing to my table. I'm not sure if I'll ever be back. I have lost all of my trust in this cute little diner. I hope to God that my actual server received the tip, or if they're pooled, it was added to the pot and this kid didn't get a penny since all he did was give me a bill. It's pretty sketchy when some random guy comes to your table and puts the cash not meant for him in his front pocket. You won't miss this regular. Plenty of oblivious tourists to screw over.

I liked it ..the RedRocks Staff was there.. Quirky & fun But have someone else pay.. 17 dollar omelettes...! Yikes!

Best salad! Mango Goat Cheese 👍👍

Horrible food and not cooked properly and presentation awful.

Outstanding across the board. And VERY accommodating. Leave time to wait for free parking... or be prepared to pay from 10 am to 8 pm street side every day of the week 🙄

Stopped of there last August while visiting red rock for a bite to eat and was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent and a lot of it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was excellent. This place is well worth a visit.

Very welcome and nice place. Friendly atmosphere and good food.

We greatly enjoyed the kindness of the servers while waiting for our to go order. When we ate the food, we were all extremely happy with what we ordered. GF Gyro burger, patty melt, buffalo sandwich. The sides were the best! French fries were different and awesome! Sweet potato fries and great onion rings! Will certainly go back and dine in next time.

So good! Samantha was such a good waitress

Beautiful location with patio seating. The manager, Matt, greeted us at the door and quickly seated us. He was so kind and welcoming. Our waitress, Jennifer, was also very kind and helpful at recommending what to get. The food here is fresh, delicious, and unique in flavor. An excellent spot for our first morning of our honeymoon. Thank you for everything!

Great place for lunch. Veggies were fresh, chef salad was loaded with meat. Good location near Red Rock Amphitheater. Service was plentiful. Will return while in town.

Good food, service and coffee. Our friendly waitress was a treat!

Food is just okay, the vibes are …. Strange. If a restaurant was a sundown town, I have a feeling it would be something like this. Took my parents here during their visit to Colorado before we hiked Red Rocks. The servers are efficient enough but nowhere near friendly. The most offputting thing is the threatening signs in the bathroom — someone at The Cow seems to be super concerned that we’re going to take their arts and crafts hanging in the bathroom? Give me a break lol

Happened to be in Golden and decided to stop in. Sat on the patio because the weather was great. Annie with the server team took care of us. She was very friendly and made great recommendations. I had the gyro burger, buffalo wing and the apple pie with ice cream for dessert. All the food was fantastic and I’ll definitely make my way to The Cow again.

Stumbled across The Cow An Eatery by accident - a very happy accident! There were 10 of us in our party and came in to the restaurant for breakfast. We were famished from our early hillside trek. Sam our server was truly professional and friendly. She had us set up at our table and our coffee/ hot drinks before us in no time. The food arrived really quickly and it was delicious. I had the SMS omelette (spinach, mushroom and Swiss Cheese) - it was just yummy. Sam gave each of us our own individual bills - she made everything so easy - delightful lady. Definitely recommend this place.

The Cow an Eatery is a gem! The beautiful location and cozy vibe set the perfect tone for a great breakfast. We tried the Goat Cheese Greek Omelette, which was delicious. The staff was amazing and service was quick, making for a smooth, enjoyable experience. Highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing spot with tasty food! The beautiful surroundings just enhances everything at this place.

Eat here! This place is sooo good. Fresh bread, fresh produce.

My group were all gathered together from different parts of the country for an event at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. We were camping in Morrison, and ended up eating here each day. I even got a souvenir from the restaurant due to getting a small cocktail that is in a rocks glass and had a special glass straw I was able to keep. Plus traveling from Wisconsin, the can of New Glarus on display in one of the cabinets was a fun surprise.

On a flying visit to Denver, we went to Red Rocks to see the sun rise. Afterwards we walked down the trail to the town of Morrison and we were very hungry! Stopped into The Cow an Eatery for breakfast. There were 10 of us in our party. This was not a problem to the lovely ladies in finding us a place to sit. Sam our server was excellent - very professional and friendly. The menu was extensive and exciting. Before long she had us set up with coffee ( and some hot chocolates) and then she took our orders. I chose the SMS omelette (spinach mushroom and Swiss cheese). Everyone ordered something different and it was no issue to Sam if a few tweaks were requested to the dish written on the menu. In what seemed like a flash our food arrived. It was just gorgeous and we dived straight in as we had worked up quite an appetite. Sam kept coming over to refill our coffee cups. My breakfast was delicious and it came with potato shreds ( like hash brown) and rye toast. Everyone devoured their food and enjoyed every mouthful. When it came to pay - Sam did something amazing - she gave us separate checks!! It was so easy to settle up either by cash, card or using the QR code on the individual check. This diner/restaurant was a great find and I can heartily recommend it to anyone who is looking for breakfast after watching the sunrise in Red Rocks. Thank you most sincerely to Sam and her colleague. You made a wonderful experience even better.

Such a great place to go for breakfast.

Good food, good atmosphere, service was great once we were seated.

Food was really good, there was a little bit of a wait. Cute town, they have their own parking lot but it was full, parking everywhere else is paid parking.

Felt very calm and the service was good and fast they were really patient with me and also helping me figure out what i wanted but couldn’t spit it out with my words

For the moment, I’m just posting about the cinnamon roll and staff. It was epic. Soft, gooey, and decadent. But my picture is bad, so I need to go back. The staff was friendly and fast. I paid and had my roll as soon as I had my change. Ashley was super quick and answered my questions about everything they served. Expect to see something off the menu and multiple rolls on the edit. ;-)

Freaking fantastic ice cream!! Dog friendly on the patio!

Always delicious!! Comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff

Great place! I had the bison burger, and then got a peanut butter banana shake to go! Cows all over the place made my soul happy!<3 I love cows, so this is my kind of place! Such a great place, I even bought a shirt. Matt is the Manager, and he is the kindest man! He helped me with getting my shirt!

Matt was a superb host. Staff was warm, friendly, and welcoming. Recommend 100 if visiting or driving through Morrison!

Delicious food, fantastic service, and an overall great start to a day at Morrison. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Morrison area!

Delicious stop for breakfast. Must try the omlet and the hash browns. Walk around the main street after eating. Such a good spot.

Annie and our server were great today! Thanks for such a great experience!

Very nice spot in Morrison. Food is good, on the cheaper price side, which is nice.

We traveled from Ohio for a Red Rocks show, but also did some exploring. We stopped here for grub and were blown away by the fresh fruit they offered…like picture PERFECT. My brekkie was also top notch, and our server was sublime! Thank you!!

Fun place with tasty food and servers were great!!

I was in town for a show at Red Rocks so I stopped in for lunch. My server was very friendly and did her best to be attentive, despite a relatively full outdoor dining area and her coworkers just sitting at the bar talking. The chips and salsa were a mixed bag, the chips were mediocre but the salsa was very good. The fried mushrooms were phenomenal, 10/10 would get every time. The chicken fried steak was very good. The gravy was fantastic and the veggies were just right. The mashed potatoes tasted like they forgot to season them, however the texture and consistency were great. My only real complaints are watching my server struggle to keep up while her coworkers just chatted at the bar frustrated me and there were a lot of flies buzzing around. I do recommend stopping in if you are in the area for a show and want some pretty good "American diner" food. Happy hour has non-premium appetizers nearly half off and some drinks as well. 10/3 2:30pm

Really great breakfast place. They had great potatoes! I had the breakfast sandwich and it was very good!!!

The service was AMAZING! The staff was incredible and some of the friendliest people we’ve met so far in Colorado! The food delicious.

I had the Angry Cow eggs and they were amazing! I really enjoyed breakfast. Their signature green chili is really good and the way it was served with hash browns in the bottom, sausage patties, then the eggs, cheese and chili on top was the perfect mix. I also like that you can order a latte, or cappuccino and their coffee is pretty good!

The spotted cow has the best of both worlds: green chili and sausage gravy 🤩

The dog friendly policy is so restrictive it is better not to have a dog with you.

It's not like you have many other options in Morrison, but I would drive east towards denver for options. Service was super slow and took forever, food subpar. You can do better, for sure.

The food is good and spicy.Nice staff.

What a cute spot on the river in Morrison. Arrived and requested a patio table, as we had a dog along after hiking in the area. We were told there was a 15 min wait and our phone number was taken so we could stroll the area while a table was prepared. It took only 5 minutes. Service and food was delicious! Only odd thing was we were told due to code, we could not have a water bowl for the dog nor give it treats while on the patio. Have never experienced that in a restaurant that allows dogs on the patio in CO! A restaurant down the street even allows dogs inside!

There was no parking in lot for The Cow so parked on street; that was a mistake! Paid parking!!

I had hamburgers and fries, if I recommend it.

Old school service with high class food and servers!

Asked a staff member if I could sit at the bar (I was by myself) and her response was: "Sure. But you need to check in with the host first next time". Keep in mind, the place is TINY and I'm 4 feet from the (unattended) host desk. I asked her nicely, and that's how she responds? So I left and saw her laughing as I walked out. Real professional lady. Next time, try "Good morning!" Never had a bite, so I gave 4 stars for the food.

Overall just ok. The steak was damn tough. I realize diner steak is not steakhouse steak but I was still underwhelmed. However, the hash browns were well cooked and golden brown.

Cute little place in Morrison. Good food. Nice dog-friendly, outdoor patio.

First... I ordered a caramel latte, husband ordered a hazelnut latte. By far, the best coffee I've EVER had. If you get nothing else, get the coffee. My son (11 and EXTREMELY picky) ordered a ham and cheese omelet and was tickled at how finely diced the ham was. I got a breakfast burrito and the sausage inside was also very small (cut/ground, not the amount). The green Chile didn't appear to be house made, but overall it was very tasty. Every staff member we encountered was pleasant and the restaurant was very clean and cozy. We opted to eat indoors, but the patio looked very nice as well, right alongside Bear Creek. We really enjoyed ourselves and wished we had more time in Colorado to visit this place again.

We were there in a weekend just before a sold out Red Rocks show so the entire town was packed. Despite the huge number of customers here the staff remained helpful and friendly. The service was fast and the good was great. My wife had the French dip and raved about how wonderful it was.

We were out doing the touristy thing and stopped off at The Cow because of its unique name. It's a cute, popular place. We did have to wait about 30 minutes and didn't mind because of the view of the creek and the boardwalk, which made time past fast. We started off with drinks, which were strong and yummy. We tried the Bloody Mary, orange juice and strawberry minosas, and the Elderberry Fizz. We also took 2 cappuccinos to go. Our entrees were delicious and very filling. We each ordered something different. I ordered the Hash and eggs, which came with sauteed garden peppers and onions with fresh sliced corned beef (yum), two scrambled eggs, and a slice of toast. Hubby ordered the White Cow, which came layered with shredded hash browns, two eggs, two sausage patties, cheddar cheese, with our famous sausage gravy, and served with a slice of toast. Son-in-law ordered the Hangover Omelet, which came with bacon, sausage, ham, and French fries inside with cheddar cheese and hash browns. The daughter ordered the Avocado toast plus, which came with 2 slices of whole wheat toast topped with smashed avocado, red pepper flakes, Himalayan pink salt, olive oil and a sprig of cilantro and two eggs. The food was well worth the wait.

One of those "out of the way" places that you go out of your way for. We'll be back!

Overall good food. We had the hamburger and spices it up with some extra ingredients. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I feel like the price was a little high for the portion of the extras. For example the canned green chili's added was about a tablespoon for $1.25. The place backs right up to the creek which is great ambiance. The service was good too. I would go back.

I loved it!!! I ate a delicious hamburger and had some fries with a very good cut and delicious too, then the cook brought us to the table an ice cream with banana and chocolate chips, served in a basket. Very nice place

Delicious food, kind and friendly staff, If you come to see the sun rose at red rocks it's definitely worth the 30 minute walk down to the cow an eatery

I just sat down to get a cheeseburger to go and had a rude and condescending gen Z server yell at me I couldn’t sit at the bar! so weird! Once I proceeded to tell her, I’m ordering something to go then she said fine. You can sit there! Then once I got the food and asked for a ketchup to go she said you could just use the bottle and not packets. Is this really how you should be treated at an establishment?

The best thing we ate was the bruschetta appetizer! The fries were like curly steak fries. The burger was just okay, nothing special. Got their beef stroganoff because it sounded good, but I was very unimpressed. Not much flavor at all. Luckily, they had ice cream and I took a chocolate-dipped cone to go which made everything okay. Great location! We ate on the patio.

I have been here before many years ago and I remember it being really good, but this time it took a bit for the server to come to my table and the burger was a bit overcooked, fries also weren’t as crispy as I would’ve liked them a bit it’s decent, but not the best burger ever.

Stopped here for dinner before a show at Red Rocks. Very laid back, diner type atmosphere. Sat outside and watched folks walking by on the path by the creek. Server was great and was kind enough to get our order in before a party of 12. The guacamole was excellent as a starter. I got a turkey sandwich with pepper jack, caramelized onions, jalapenos on grilled sourdough. My wife had a grilled ham and apple with cheddar cheese. Both sandwiches were awesome. The fries are a really great style that's hard to explain...kind of the size of a waffle fry, but not with the lattice cut. Anyway, a great spot, excellent food and a good value!

Used to eat here all the time pre-COVID, back when it was called ‘the Purple Cow’z The food (then) was much better than my most recent experience at ‘the Cow’. First thing; they’ve expanded, and the food has suffered significantly. I ordered the French dip and my lunch partner ate a salad. Not complicated! However, our meal took over 45 minutes to be served. The hot sandwich arrived cold tasted like it’d been pulled from a freezer and microwaved. I was told that the salad was also gross tasting. Over the course of the hour and a half we were there, we had three different servers - all of whom forgot at least one thing in our non-complicated order. Eating in the main dining area, it was clear that (young, HS-aged) staff really only cared about laughing, goofing-off and having a good time. Didn’t pay attention to any of the guests, including our table. The whole experience spoiled our opinion of The Cow and we’ll likely not return. Ended up spending like $60 on three entrees and a drink. Way too pricey for such low-quality food and poor service.

Delicious food and ice cream in a scenic and friendly venue. Easy to walk around town eating ice cream, or sit down and grab a meal and a delicious cup of chai. I had the stroganoff and it didn't blow my mind, but I cleaned my plate easily ( and it was big portions). We spent $35+ each, getting chai, soda, entrees, and ice cream.

I wouldn't listen to the positive reviews on this place. The major issue was the food. It was almost like everything was rubber. I ordered the chicken fried steak, fairly standard quality but stingy on the gravy. The scrambled eggs were bland and rubbery. I ordered cube potatoes and got hash which were overcooked. I also got pancakes that were rubbery and practically inedible with the cheap corn syrup they serve, unless you opt for the $2 tiny container of real maple syrup. I never would leave any pancake unfinished and I couldn't finish this pancake, it was that bad. My wife had the famous breakfast burrito and it was also as if the meat was cooked then boiled to reheat. The service was inattentive and not personable or inviting. Atmosphere was loud and cramped. I would recommend eating outside if possible to avoid the noise, if you choose to eat here at all. I'm not looking for a quiet dining experience, but this was basically listening to your neighbors' table yelling. Our server took a while to bring a mediocre, bland premix bloody Mary and forgot my water with it. She did offer to bring something else after my wife said the food was not great, but this was after we got our check. I'm always apprehensive accepting new food after complaining about food, and out of belief the food would probably be the same quality as these dishes. Hate to leave a negative review as I'm sure this establishment has been a staple of Morrison but this was a bad experience, and seems to be in line with the other low Star reviews recently. Not sure who gives this a 5 star, but I would recommend IHOP or Denny's over this. I've only left less than a 5 Star review if something was just that bad. This was that bad.

Day after effects and my stomach is all messed up.

Amazing chocolate malts and strawberry shakes!

We just stopped for dessert. That being said the banana split is a classic and delicious.

Ventured in here after visiting Red Rocks basically because we found an open spot in their parking lot. Good fortune for us since we then proceeded to have the best meal of our long weekend trip to Denver. The Summit sandwich was superior (ask for some extra horseradish). The french fries are actually potato wedges that were crispy deliciousness. Our server Sam from Chandler, AZ was excellent. Don't know if we'll ever make our way back but if we ever travel to the area again we will make a point to visit The Cow - An Eatery again!.

I had the stuffed green chiles for lunch. Very tasty. Busy place -very loud.

Fish and chips and cheese curds were amazing. Portions are huge

A great little local restaurant near Red Rocks. Try some of their dairy products if you get a chance. The goat cheese on my salad was yummy and creamy. Good food and service all around.

A wonderful little spot for a solid burger after a hike. Great ice cream too.

Great spot to stop by for breakfast after a hike at Red Rocks. Very close drive from the hike and it seems to be very popular. We waited about 5 minutes to get seated. Nothing fancy about the food, which is expected from a diner. The food is just good and very filling. Both of us were very hungry after visiting Red Rocks and this place was just what we needed. Highly recommended

The food and people here are amazing. Sam was our server today and she was very kind and patient even when we needed more time to look at the menu! An amazing restaurant with amazing people!

Sam was amazing! Really took care of us and is very outgoing and connects well with customers. The food is also amazing! And the atmosphere around the area is phenomenal. The area is right next to a river and let’s be honest any restaurant in the mountains is always peaceful and just gives you a good feeling. Love this place and will always comes back! Thank you for the awesome service sam

This place is just wowza…beautiful views and great service. Reyliana was such a wonderful server and helped me choose the best items on such a delicious menu! I love the Cow!!

Fabulous breakfast! Great vibe in a cute little mountain town. This will be a must stop next time we are in town again.

Excellent location. Enjoyed eating on the patio, especially because we had great weather. Menu and food were okay.

Seriously such a little gem, we've been twice now and every dish is always so delicious!

This place appears to be good but really isn’t. Their online order is apparently the best way to order food from there and it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. Then when you call them to make the order on the phone, no answer at all. They are lucky that there are very few options in this area and people have little choice but to use them.

Not impressed at all! Loud and noisy! Was seated by waiter station, slamming plates, having to almost yell to order food. Customers rude and noisy, wait staff doesn't do anything like yell shut up! Overpriced, uncomfortable, waitress had attitude. Food eventually made me sick too! This place sucks! Regardless of what others say, it sucks! Not returning except to watch it burn down!

Great food with awesome service with a smile. I've been on a chicken fried steak kick and the steak here is good with gravy. The homemade biscuit put it over the top. I would recommend if you are in the area.

Ice cream cone as big as my head! Kinda ridiculous.

A perfect mountain diner for those in search. The food is excellent, but the atmosphere is what you will love.

Rose was a great server, loved the food and ice cream definitely recommend over and over again

I was passing through and googled "Best breakfast place in the area" and this is the restaurant that popped up. Google was spot on accurate. I'm super glad I stopped in after hiking. I was seated immediately, drinks were given immediately, my order was taken immediately and while the food wasn't immediate, it wasn't a long wait by any stretch. The hot sauces were all solid, the wait staff was top notch and the food was well seasoned and made my morning. The wait staff stopped by multiple times (despite the outdoor dining area being full and busy) to make sure I didn't need anything else and to refill my coffee. If you're passing through, I recommend stopping here...if you can get parking!
