Cowfin Bar and Grill REVIEWS:
Christine ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We were visiting Surf City for the day and wanted to grab a quick lunch. Found the Cowfin among some stores in the area. Sat for lunch on a Sunday. They have a very large bar area, and an average amount of dining area seating. Place was very busy. We were all in the mood for burgers and chicken sandwiches and the Cowfin hit the spot. We tried the crispy chicken sandwich, the Carolina Classic burger and the Impossible burger. We tried the sweet potato fries and signature fries. Very tasty. And big portions here. This was a great find so next time in Surf City we will definitely stop here again.
Nancy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Had a surprisingly awesome first impression when I walked in to Cowfin! The place feels like a Nashville spot with a little beach here and there!
We sat at the bar because it was very busy! I ordered a glass of wine and one of their smash burgers! Mine was with lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese. The smash burger is 2, two ounce pattys smooshed together! They were cooked thoroughly and not dry. The veggie ratio was not overwhelming. The buns were buttery and fresh!
The smash burger came with fries that were unlike anything I have ever seen! They almost seemed battered!
Lastly, the vibe, the prices and the staff were phenomenal! I cannot wait to go again!
Nicole ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Really enjoyed this new spot in Surf City. We went for some quick drinks and food and will be back. We were really impressed with the drink selection and the amount of sides you could choose from. (Which honestly, I wish they would do a side plate, because I could have and wanted to try most of the sides). We ended up enjoying some Margs and then got the bang bang shrimp for our appetizer, which came with a decent amount, and more than the two of us could eat. Then for our entrees, we got a smash burger and fried okra (which was delicious) and I got a wrap with the collards. The wrap was not too bad, the bacon was a little chewy in it, but I know it is more of a me preference and some people like that, and the collards were a little bland for me. Overall, we would go back and try some more items on the menu and have some beverages!
Annie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We like this place, food is good, they are quick to get it out, our kids enjoy it, and it isn't too expensive
John Mark ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Four of us went and all enjoyed our meals greatly. I love all the sides you can pick from besides just fries. Their hush puppies, their mac & cheese, they're sweet potato fries, their onion rings, all were so good and shareable. Their smash burgers are really good as well. Just go ahead and get them all the way. Megan was our waitress and she was so fast and friendly. Highly recommended.
