Cow & Clover

We were a small group celebrating another birthday (mine) and from the moment we walked in we could immediately feel the warmth inside generate by a wall of wood burning ovens. It was a nice welcoming. From there things just got better from the apps like pickled beets and roasted brussels sprouts through the entrees including the roasted chicken that was perfectly seasoned to a short rib burger that was easily in my top 5. The food was very tasty and followed up with a couple of favorites appecake and a nice and creamy panna cotta. As for the service, i mentioned we were a small group, well the team there served everyone on time and with smiles which not only drives my current experience but helps to insure that i’ll be back, yeah i know that Arnold guy said that too.
A good time was had by all and we will be back there soon. The only «adjustment» i’d suggest would be — switch to a larger draft beer glass.

Didn’t get to eat there. Restaurant was 95% empty and they placed us by the bathroom and the front door. We told all other tables were booked. Come on.

We love Cow and Clover. The service is always wonderful (the servers are all friendly, all seem to enjoy their job, and you can tell they love the food at C&C), I love love love the Columbo cocktail (house made peppercorn vodka, lemon, and earl gray simple syrup) I’ve tried to replicate at home and can’t get it right. The food is consistently good some things much better than others. We love the chicken for two, the burger, the mussels, and the tomato salad (in the summer). A nice neighborhood spot we have continued to return to (now probably 7 – 8 times).

A friend told me about this new bottomless brunch place in Williamsburg, was skeptical at first. Bottomless deal is pretty good, burger is awesome. Space is big with good lightning. Our waiter Jonna was superb. Definitely coming back again … Definitely.

One of the best bottomless brunches in Williamsburg.
I love Station, but C&C benefits from it’s distance from the Bedford L and the fact that it is still relatively under the radar.
The short rib burger is fantastic. You will regret it if you fail to order it.
The bloody mary was good, however, the aycd mimosas are the real star.
Great service, nice spacious interior, all around a great venue. I almost hope it maintains it’s secret credibility, as I’m ready to share it with Manhattanites.

Best brunch in williamsburg.
The shortrib burger cooked medium with a fried egg is outrageously good.
I also love the cheddar biscuit duck eggs benedict.
Great clean space too.
Decent prices for an upscale brunch.

Pleasantly surprised by the food. Service was great. And ambiance was modern, simple and clean looking with open kitchen.
Came here with the family and figured we’d do the large roast for the table hoping it would be the pig, ham, leg of lamb, beef Delmonico, etc.
The day we went, I was disappointed to learn it was the whole roast chicken. I’ve had enough whole roast chicken, at least the rotisserie ones from Costco, Wholefoods, Associated Supermarket, etc. Roasted chicken just doesn’t seem like something I’d order at a restaurant. But since we are there already and are a table of 6, we did everything family style and gave the whole roast chicken a try even though I wouldn’t have ordered it myself. To my surprise the chicken was moist, flavorful and just perfectly done. Probably one of the best whole roast chicken I’ve ever had. I mean compared to the $ 7.99 supermarket ones. The sides we picked was brussel sprouts and cauliflower — sides might be a bit on the saltier side but still very tasty. I’m normally not a huge brussel sprouts person but they did it really well! Not burnt black.
We ordered the charcuterie sample of 3. The meat is a bit fattier than the normal prosciutto/​sausage kind of charcuterie because it had beef cheek, lardo and pork belly.
The cocktail menu was decent with just $ 12 a drink so price is reasonable.
We had a good experience there and would recommend this place for a larger party. I’d like to check it out for happy hour and brunch sometime.

Short rib burger was beyond delicious. The French fries that comes along with… yum. Perfection. We went for New Year’s Day brunch and had bottomless Bloody Mary’s and mimosas. The Bloody was one of the best I’ve ever had. Ever. We also had the egg bacon and gruyère which was great. The staff and atmosphere was delightful. One of the best brunch spots in town. Also to add to it — coffee totally on point and amazing as well.

30 Second review go!@@@@@

Very nice kitchen and well designed atmosphere. Great food and staff. Little hard to access by public transportation though.

Had a really good experience at Cow & Clover Saturday night. Our server Jonna (sp?) was very personable and helpful. We got the mussels for an app. For meals, she got the short rib burger and I got the Delmonico roast. We were both thrilled with our dishes. The roast had a really flavorful crust as if it was smoked low and slow. I am not sure how they prepare it but it came out perfectly medium rare. They had a few good local beers on tap (single cut, transmitter) and the cocktail our server recommended to us was very good as well. Would love to come back the next time we are in the area.

Too long a wait for food 1+ hours for our mains to arrive. Make sure to reserve. Bar seating area — you see more than you want/​need to see. Hygiene questionable, no gloves, lots of hands used.
Food bland.
Décor is cute but I had to mention above.

I was in charge of hosting a baby shower and had a difficult time finding a venue that would serve large groups and also had great food.
When I came across Cow and Clover I knew that I found the place. I exchanged several emails with Jason Lloyd who is part of the team that runs this restaurant. He was very responsive, pleasant, and very professional. I could tell that this restaurant is run very well and my event would go smoothly.
The Food
Our baby shower was during brunch so we had an opportunity of tasting everything on the menu. Everything tasted amazing but my favorites were the short rib burger, french toast, smoked salmon grits, the chicken, and for dessert, the graham blondie
The Service
The customer service at the restaurant was top notch. Everyone was super friendly and accomodating

Short story: meat dishes are top notch. This is their specialty and they do it*well*. The burger is one of the best. Have had a lot of top notch burgers and this is up there with Peter Luger’s burger. Fries are crisp. Salads fresh.
Brunch: $ 15 add on for bottomless mimosas, which you can begin at the bar if you arrive early. On a Sunday, C&C was near capacity but I doubt you’ll be waiting in a line. Attentive, helpful service. Mimosas were properly balanced champagne/​/​OJ ratio.
Great food. Good prices. Really nice interior. Top notch place and you will like the food here, if you eat meat.

The waitress was cute and super nice
She recommended a drink that I wasn’t too into and noticed without me saying anything and brought me a replacement
The meat board was nice even if the pâté was a little dry
I was surprised there wasn’t a cheese plate on the menu since it totally seemed like that kind of spot.
Food came quickly with no problems
I would come back again for sure

Went to a birthday dinner here and the food was delicious, the service wonderful, and the décor cool. We got a bunch of plates to share. Started with the mussels, and flat bread — shared the steak, the chicken and the ham. For dessert we did different types of ice cream and cookies. Everything was of good quality.

We were greeted by a friendly and beautiful hostess Judith which already created a great experience. We had the roasted peppers snack which were yummy but needed a bit more salt. However the piri piri chicken was made to perfection tender moist with flavorful rubbings on the skin! We had a side of the summer squash which was also grilled with a fire roasted flavor and perfect amount of salt and herbs that led to the delightful indulgence. To make a good experience even better as soon as our wonderful waitress Kaylene mentioned salted caramel icecream we had to have it with the homemade cookie plate, 2 macadamia nut, 2 chocolate chip, 2 oatmeal orange zest. Needless to say I will be needing a great workout tomorrow!

Overall it was a pretty pleasant experience.
You have to start your meal with the ricotta flat bread, it’s delicious and the perfect amount to start.
There are not many vegetarian options on the menu, so I decided to go for the ‘Chickpea and Autumn Vegetable Stew’ which was ok. The portion was pretty small but really flavorful.
Definite winner of this restaurant experience was the ‘Homemade Cookie Plate’.
The cookies were so fresh and still warm, they just melt in your mouth. Wow!!!
The place itself is really cute and spacious. The staff is helpful and nice.
I’d still only take it as a PLAN B option for dinner, cause it’s a little overprized for what you end up getting.

If I could give 6 stars I would…
We went in with generic expectations, another Brooklyn farm to table new American restaurant. What we got was so much more than expected. These people are customer service professionals.
First the food… We ordered for the table…
Muscles — some of the best I’ve ever had, a must order
Hush puppies — they were good but not as special as the rest of the meal
Soft Shell Crab — amazing
The meat specials for the table…
First I love this concept. 8 oz of meat with two sides for the table. Personally I don’t need that much for myself so I loved this concept.
Pork Shoulder — the table was divided on what our favorite was, half said the pork which was perfectly cooked not too fatty and wonderfully seasoned.
Steak — stand out of the night! One of the best steaks I’ve ever had, it came sliced medium rare and every slice was perfectly salted. I will probably order every time I return.
Now let’s talk about the service… Beyond. Our service was knowledgable, attentive, and friendly. When you walk away from a dinner knowing where the food is from, where some of the chefs are from and how that inspired items on the menu and personal things about your waitress it makes it an interactive experience. When we raved about the wine and muscles she made sure to tell us they’re both half price for happy hour on Wednesdays ensuring we will be repeat customers.
Amazing management, sometimes it can be awakes when a manager comes to your table to generically ask how things are not caring about your response that was not the case here. He was so interested in our feedback and ended up sending us out three different desserts compliments of him based on our feedback. If we weren’t already having one of our best Brooklyn dining experiences we were now, it went from what started as a great dinner to a memorable one.
Will 100% be back, if you’re looking for a great meal in Brooklyn cow & clover is showing up a lot of the area staples.

Came here for a fabulous brunch with friends a couple weeks ago and the highlight was definitely the veggie scramble and the fries. Even if you aren’t a veggie person, order the veggie scramble and be converted. It is fantastic! My hubby and I split the short rib burger, which was amazing too… and the fries that came with? The BEST fries EVER! Definitely coming back for that. We got unlimited mimosas as well and I definitely attempted to get my money’s worth, however either they were really light on the champagne or my tolerance is back with a vengeance because I wasn’t the slightest bit tipsy at the end of my meal. Oh well…
Our service was stellar, especially since we had a huge group of people eating. We attempted to use an app they were promoting to pay the bill, but it wasn’t working properly which was a problem since downloading the app is what comped our unlimited mimosas and the app would have automatically paid for it if it were working properly. We spoke to the manager about it and he was kind, but also wanting not to take a loss. He asked us to pay half of the mimosa bill, but we declined since it was unfair that it wasn’t our fault that the app didn’t work and made the point that he should take it up with the app company. Fortunately, he agreed with us and took it off the bill. I appreciated him opting to resolve the issue the right way with the app company instead of attempting to make it our issue. Much appreciated.
It’s in a cute location with enough street parking if you are driving, so don’t worry about that. You might have to walk a block or two, but not a prob. Great food. Great staff. Great location. Definitely worth a visit.
