The Black Cow Cafe and Mercantile

Apr 6th, 2024

WHAT A FUN PLACE! This place was packed (standing room even though they had an abundance of seating - it was all full) with people for lunch, but you can call ahead if you need it TO-GO. The environment was energetic western. The decor isn't in your face but fun to look at and incorporates the waiting room into a sitting/dining area if you want. The food is OMG Amazing! The protons are a BIG. You only need the half-size orders. I honestly don't know how they could serve so much food for so little $. The food is fresh and sits well. Not oily and just is a fun atmosphere. Update 4/1/204 I went in for lunch the other day. This place has taken a dive since my last review. So much so that I skipped it for a lunch option. The serving size is still overly large, however the quality of food has gone down. The meat tastes of "Great Value - Walmart". Little care has gone to cleanliness. The mac and cheese comes out of one bowl and is then microwaved in a used Miracle Whip or butter tupperware. Bacon is cooked in the morning and stored on top of the oven in a tray and left out all day for use. Its old - dry - nasty, and will get you sick. Sink is overflowing with dishes and when they need one they rinse it and use it - without proper sanitation. Heating/cooling is a joke - prepare to be uncomfortable. The place is filled with kitchen smoke if they do happen to actually cook your food vs microwave it. It's sad, it had so much potential when it opened but now it's just a dive sandwich shop. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available. Dietary restrictions: Made to order with lots of options. Parking: Large parking lot. There was around 30 people there and I found a spot easy. Additional street parking available. Kid-friendliness: Safe for kids.

Definitely deserves 5 stars! The sandwiches are huuugge and delicious! The Italian cow is my go to, so good! The bacon, ranch flatbread was awesome. The service was great! It's nice you can sit inside or outside. Even the side salad has eggs in it! You don't see that very often. Bloodys were good with bacon, egg and pickle! So good!

I had take-out and ordered the Cuban, the berry turkey sandwich and Mac and cheese. I was pleasantly surprised at the huge portions. The food quality is some of the best I have tasted at a deli. The Mac and cheese is a must when you visit. I'll definitely be back!
