Warm day calls for a delicious and creative salad...Grilled chicken salad on arugula with warm cinnamon apples, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and yummy nuts, topped lightly with a mustard dressing.

Yummy food, excellent service! I'm visiting from Oregon and wanted to visit Montrose, and Black Cow was the place to go!

This place screams of good food and family! The holiday menu was amazing and the service (despite a very busy, packed restaurant) was right on point!

This place has the best atmosphere for dining whether its breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The service is top notch and last but not least, the cuisine is excellent. Highly recommended by locals.

The menu is very diverse with a lot of comfort food items. The staff is very friendly and the prices are reasonable. I will be back...

The food was amazing and the wait staff was professional one of the best restaurants I've been to recently

The food is excellent, but what sets this place apart, and keeps us coming back, is the wonderful staff. So warm, friendly and attentive - you feel truly welcome from the moment you enter. I deal with social anxiety, so this means the world to me and makes it possible to enjoy every sip and bite of their delicious fare.

Also a great "neighborhood" with many fun, independently owned businesses along the street, including an amazing Rockwellian toy store (Tom's Toys) that is not to be missed.

Server Jessica was very attentive. Food out of this world and beware of the hot plates as they warn you (my ADD reminded me they're hot😂). Side note: "Black Cow" is my Fav Steely Dan tune.

My first time and I enjoyed it on my Birthday sundae! Thank You for making it special.

I've been coming here for over 15 years and love this place. It's like going to a family's house for dinner lunch or breakfast. Always welcoming no matter how busy they are.

I so needed a good meal out & a great atmosphere. David was our server & he was fantastic; he made our extended stay & eating experience enjoyable. Great zucchini bread, loved the burger & onion rings & we topped it off with peach cobbler. I hope to return soon. Thanks!

I had the chorizo breakfast scramble and it was delish! I would order it again. I love Montrose, CA and this is one of my fav breakfast places.

I guess people are raving about their usual specialties, but I want to specially mention their onion rings, chicken tenders, and fries. I admit I have never tasted anything like these; the best I've ever had!

First timer! The food was great and our waiter Zeke, was even better! He added more charm to an already charming cafe! We will be back!

Black Cow is a wonderful restaurant. We are regulars there. The thing that stands out there is this amazing waiter Victor. He is absolutely amazing. Makes it so that we want to go there just to see him.

Been going here for several years and always have an excellent meal. Service is exceptional too. Always special service from Victor and Juan.

Been coming here since I was in junior high and even though I no longer live in La Crescenta, my family and I return every other weekend for Saturday brunch. We sometimes even come Sunday evenings for dinner! They serve great-tasting food, consistently and with lots of love, and they feel like a part of the family, especially with the lovely employees they have on board. And ultimately, I can confidently say that even with LA's brunch scene nearby popping up with new "hip" restaurants on what seems like a monthly basis, Black Cow will always be my favorite spot to eat good food, catch up with family/friends, people/dog-watch, and let time pass by as I enjoy myself.

The breakfast was worth the 45 minutes wait! The service was great, the food was amazing, I just wish the wait time was shorter...

Well I have enjoyed the Black Cow Cafe many times, enjoy the food, service atmosphere and location, but have say this past SaturdayI left with a “uncomfortable taste”, as the rest of the evening went on feeling bloated. I realized the taste was from rancid oil thinking back the roast tomatoes with the crab cakes did taste ‘funny’, thought about calling but changed my mind as to much time had gone by 😕 I still plane on going back but will speak up if something does not seem right

Servers were good but the quality of food was disastrous. From cold bread served in the beginning to uncooked meat, things have changed from the past and haven't been there since. Whats going on?
