This was our first time here, We love trying new places when we go into to different towns. Hands down some of the best sandwiches we have had and the Bloody Mary was absolutely amazing. I am a big guy and Portions are enough to fill me up and enough for leftovers! We also got some of the baked goods and cannot wait to try those! Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

The decor is country and unique. The staff is pleasant, and the food is phenomenal! These sandwiches are HUGE and tasty. The sandwiches are as big as my face and the family loves the flatbread! Cannot say enough good things about this place!PS. You can get cocktails here too!

The food is so good but I called at 10:30 am and had a pickup order for Noon, when I got there I still had to wait another 15 min which is half my lunch time. I thought I called in, in enough time. This is the 2nd time I had to wait extra. I know they are busy but calling over an hour early should have a little leverage. Still enjoy it just probably won't order during the week.

Finally, there’s a fresh, clean, and locally owned option in this small town. The Black Cow Cafe and Mercantile is a teeny-tiny garage(?)-turned-eatery planted right off Highway 95 serving breakfast and lunch. They also have lots of adorable merc including locally made jewelry, clothes and household items.On 08/07/2021 I ordered the Holey Cow sandwich (sliced roast beef, Swiss cheese, $10.95) with Peach iced tea (they have a variety of flavors, $4.50) and my mother got the Bird & Berry (sliced turkey, craisins, Swiss cheese, cream cheese, sprouts and tomatoes, $9.95). The food was made quick and tasted great. Both sandwiches were stuffed with very generous amounts of super fresh, high-quality meat, which completely justifies the steeper prices (relative to other sandwich shops in the area). The Peach Ice was excellent as well, a little spendy but definitely worth it and I would recommend!Now the bad. I hate doing this but I want to point it out because it’s been nearly two weeks and this still slightly bothers me. I noticed our order seemed pricier than what was printed on the menu so I asked what the breakdown was. I was informed there was price increase on some of the menu items, which I totally understand and support! A business has gotta make it’s money, and cost of goods are increasing. What I do not appreciate is no signage or heads up before ordering that there is a price increase, and having to figure it out myself. It’s not that hard to slap a handwritten sign at the front simply stating “Price increases beginning [whenever]. Please ask cashier.” To charge someone more without telling then just seems sketchy and discourteous.I’m probably going to go back because the food is excellent. And every place deserves a second chance. I look forward to updating this to a 5 star review soon. :)

The worst experience ever! Ordered over the phone they said they couldn’t hear good and that they were busy. Went in to go pick up my order and they were completely rude from the start had my whole order wrong all three girls working tried arguing with me about my order. They ended up charging me wrong and forgot to put them cookies in my bag called them and let them know they forgot the cookies and the lady was so rude about it said she did not know how to refund me but that I could zip right back in and pickup the cookies. I’ve went here numerous times and they have never been as rude as they were today. Just because they were “busy” does not mean you get to be rude to your customers. If I were you I would take your business somewhere else then here. These girls had no right to be as rude as they were because they were busy and got the order wrong. I will never return to this restaurant again. They had everything thrown into the bags.

Best Mac n cheese I have eaten. Ever. Give it a good stir after they deliver it, bring up all that melty creamy goodness. Then enjoy! I had a delicious half turkey with cream cheese and cranberry sandwich. Plenty of food. That sandwich, made on fresh daily bakery bread, had at least an inch worth of turkey, than all the fresh veg. It was phenomenal. My mom had the roast beef, again loaded high and every bit fresh and fantastic. We will be back. Must try breakfast next. I kind of hate to give away our secret, but arrive at off hours. We got there around 11:40am, by 12:10pm there was a line. They hussled people in very efficiently, but still if you can, arrive at off peak times would be my recommendation... Also don't forget dessert. We split a very tasty lemon bar this visit. Can't wait to try other desserts too.

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 4/1/204I 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.

Their food is delicious! I got half of a sandwich and a a side for a little over $10. The half of a sandwich was practically two regular sandwiches because how huge it was! The side I got was mac and cheese and the side portion could have been an entree on its own!I will definitely be going back for lunch and I can't wait to try thier breakfast menu!!

I've been here a couple of times and the food is amazing! Plus the exceptional customer service and friendly faces, it's always a nice place to go on my lunch break. 6 out of 5 stars 😁
