Black Cow Cafe - La Crescenta-Montrose

I don’t know how this place got so many good reviews…the food here is terrible. We waited 10 minutes after we were seated, for anyone to take our order. Their French onion soup strangely comes with a side of sweet zucchini bread with walnuts, all of which was terrible. Burger had no flavor, and fried chicken was dry. How did they get so many stars??

Food, Service, Atmosphere... Beyond 5 stars. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. They're great with our daughter. Always open to suggestions both to hand out and to receive from the customer. Food has always been amazing, and the menu offers something for everyone. It's a cute restaurant in Montrose along Honolulu, with shops all up and down the strip. You couldn't ask for a better more quaint area just north of LA. The decor inside too is great to look at, adorned with instruments on the wall, and some fun belt driven fans hanging from the ceiling. Definitely try their breakfast, and be sure to come back for dinner! The Chile Stuffed Skillet is so bomb!

We had brunch at The Black Cow on Labor Day and don't know if we're going back. It's a shame because the food and drinks are excellent. We had to wait an hour to finally get seated. This long wait always happens. The service was poor and the waiters waitresses were all rushing around to serve people. They were also very noisy. Just watching them stressed us out. Our waitress hurriedly took our order and forgot to bring water to my Son after he asked five times. He had to ask twice for his side order of sausage and for coffee refills. He never got the side order of salsa he asked for. I asked for a refill of soda water and she brought me water. She clearly wasn't doing her job. We spent almost a $100 there and it wasn't a good experience. It seems like the restaurant could benefit with some reorganization and training. Good food is one thing but you won't find good service at The Black Cow.

The food is good, price comparable but its a VERY busy place! You can barely hear the person you're with.

Nice place, old look is great, u get in and its like u went back 100 years in age. Notice the ceiling fans, how all spin with only one machine.
