the cow calf-hay

one great cheeseburger!!. i had a plain ol' cheese burger with fries. a great burger, good flavor, juicy and delicious. the fries were nothing special, but they were good too. my wife had the maui burger (i had a bite and it was pretty good too. i'm not a big pineapple fan, but the bacon on her burger was great.) she got her's with sweet potato fries' which were excellent. all in all we really enjoyed our food at the cow.

six months ago this restaurant lived up to its rating. last night we decided that it is off the list (otl). our fries were crispy critters, onion rings greasy, hamburgers not cooked right and greasy. if you like crisp, greasy food then this is the place for you.

best burger i've ever had. i have to say, i've tried plenty of burger joints in the metro, and this is by far the best i've ever had. the atmosphere certainly showed that they are dedicated to burgers and burgers only. service was excellent, the waitress (whose name escapes me) checked up on us plenty of times to make sure we were okay, and the food was awesome. loved how dedicated the owners are to come up with the comical and original names to each entree. i tried the mowi-cowi burger, which features of course, the hamburger patty, a pineapple ring, honey mustard, bacon, and provolone cheese. i felt like this burger was made especially for me. i definitely will be coming back in the near future.

and just a personal note: i've read plenty of reviews saying that the restaurant is always busy to the point where you have to wait for a table--i'm not sure where they got that idea, i came on a friday evening at dinnertime and the restaurant was almost completely empty- there was only one family there. but, if you're in the mood for a nice greasy hamburger without smelling like onions after leaving, this is definitely the place to go.

menu. i couldn't find the menu online. finally found it on facebook. btw... we love this place and eat here on our "cheat" days. :)

great little burger place. i'm not a huge fan of hamburgers. they kinda gross me out to be honest. but recently a friend talked me into trying the barnyard burger. it was surprisingly, amazing! i don't even like mushrooms, but this burger rocked. the fries are good too, which is a huge plus. take a chance, you burger haters...you might just go back, like i did!

good burgers. i'll take this place over the over-hyped flat tire burger. great burgers, really good onion rings. goofy decor that seems to work okay. service is excellent.

the cow calf-hay has great fried pickles and really good curly fries, but the burgers have no flavor and the grease soaks the bun. the staff greets you right away and they do a very good job taking care of there customers. the burgers need flavor!

best burger i've had in okc. the burgers are great, best i've had since moving here in '94. the burgers are available in 1/3 or 1/2 lb size and come with either fries or onion rings - i went for the rings. the onion rings are really good, the sauce that comes with them puts them over the top. late lunch for 2 with drinks was about $20 - a bargain considering the quality of food you're getting. we'll be going back again soon, and dragging my in-laws with us.

the restaurant is a little hard to find if you're not from edmond. easiest way is to get on broadway, turn east on 33rd and get into the right lane asap. turn down wynn road - it's just before the mcdonalds, and go about 100 yards or so, and there you are.

they are now open tuesday through sunday, i don't recall the hours, so you might want to call just to make sure.

will try again. we must've been there on an "off day" ... we had heard great things about it, but we both just thought it was "okay." not great, not terrible, but nothing to 'write home about.' was very crowded, which we expected, and service was lacking. but we'll give it another shot, just to be fair and get a better overall picture.

best veggie burger in town!. i used to go to either flat tire or s&b's when i wanted a veggie burger, but this place has both of them beat! and i agree with other reviewers about the onion rings - they're awesome too!

love the choice of burgers! they are excellent... and the service is fantastic!

best rings in metro. love the burgers and daily special can yield greatness. however, this is the best onion ring around. the onion ring special sauce is to die for. order it on your onion burger and wow, watch out. now that it has passed the unknown stage you may have to wait for a table. but the wait is worth it. or call in your order and pick it up for take out eating.

great burger, cold fries. loved the maui cowi burger, it was perfect! however, my fries were cold and mushy. food was ordered and received at peak lunch hour, so there really was no excuse.

moo-licious. yes its small, yes they have limited hours, & yes its crowded, but holy-cow its good. chicken is breaded just right and looks great. fries & onion rings are fresh-cut and perfectly cooked. burgers come in two sizes, 1/3 & 1/2lb with 1/3 being plenty. i keep telling myself i am going to eat something other than the mad cow, but it hasn't happened yet...the burger place in oklahoma city!

goofy decor but great food!. i've been wanting to try this place, but was a bit hesitant because i'm not a fan of city bites. boy, was i in for a surprise! the decor is as whimsical and goofy as that of city bites, but that's where any comparison ends, as far as i'm concerned. we got there early (before 11:30) and that was a good thing -- this small place fills up fast at lunchtime. our waitress greeted us promptly, returned with our drinks and took our orders. it took a bit for our food to arrive, but it was worth the wait. the 3 of us ordered different burgers -- the western, the onion burger with cheese, and one with bacon, onion strings, pepper jack cheese and spicy mayo that i can't recall the name of. all were fantastic! juicy beef, well-toasted bun, melting onions -- delicious! our fries\onion rings orders were a bit mixed up, but they brought us extra onion rings to make up for it. the onion rings are fabulous as is the sauce.

we'll be going back to this place, even though it requires a trek to edmond. it's well worth it!

i flew 6 hours to get the madd cow burger. it's that good.
