Best BBQ ribs! My first time ordering and I was so happy with my meal; food exceeded my expectations. Loved the coleslaw and skinny onion rings

Lovely place, great atmosphere, music and good food. Visited last year.The staff was very friendly, we were short on cash and had just too little for the beers. The employee gave us the beer for free, because a good burger should come with a beer. Fantastic!

My lady & I have been going to Holy Cow for many years now. Great spot for a casual date night, we always enjoy the food & good vibes.However, what compelled me to write a review was the impeccable warmth, service and vibrant energy from Connor.Right as we walked in he asked if we'd like some recommendations and offered the combo options make the most sense for two people. After we got the food we noticed that the pulled pork and tri-tip looked a bit different that usual and he explained the new method Holy Cow is using to retain the juiciness for the meat.It's always a nice time here, but this experience was a bit more special than the rest. Thank you!

Probably on par for BBQ in California. Set expectations accordingly.

So the ribs are really good. Corn bread too. But $5-$7 for a can or bottle of soda is insulting. And offensive.

This is my second time eating at Holy Cow.First time my experience was awesomeCame on a Thursday 2/8/24 at 1:00pOwner was there.Second time was today Monday at 5:00pBoth times I ordered the southern Chicken salad with ranch dressing on the sideThe salad was better the first time.Only because it was made correctly.Second time Xavier my server was very unpleasant when asked about other items on the menu as well as forgetting to put the charred corn in the salad as well as the little garlic roll.Because, my visit was a Togo order the second time.I wasn’t about to return to have them fix it.Really too bad this experience had to be unpleasant. I’m here working out of town. Thought I’d bring my coworkers in after work to have dinner.Won’t be happening!!!9/24Reached out via email to Rob with contact information to hopefully resolve my unpleasant experience. Rob never contacted me.Unfortunately, I was there out of town working the Genesis Invitational Golf Tournament. It would have been nice to bring my coworkers for dinner after work. Definitely will not support this restaurant in the years to follow :(
