The Cow Restaurant offers a cozy, home-cooked dining experience with fantastic food and friendly staff. Visitors praise the delicious ribs, Krabby Patty Sliders, and brownie dessert, as well as the restaurant's wheelchair-accessible level entrance. This hidden gem is a wonderful stop for hikers or anyone passing through the area. Recent reviews highlight a nice stop around Cowichan Lake, with overall decent food and good service. Customers enjoyed dishes like penne carbonara, which had a flavorful thick sauce with baked cheese on top, and crab dip with Greek tones served with crispy, fresh Greek bread—their favorite here. The battered fish with snapper was flaky and moist, though some found the breading a little thick. Poutine was not recommended due to the lack of real cheese curds and salty gravy from powder. A cool coffee-flavored cold drink called the Cow Shaft, with cold foam and three vodka shots, was also enjoyed. Visitors have also appreciated the comfortable setting and well-made Caesars. The Fajita salad with prawns was a hit, and many remember this place as a delicious highlight on their trips, with some calling their lunch "epic."
