The Black Cow is truly a gem in downtown Columbus! 🌟 We dined on a Thursday evening and were seated almost immediately, thanks to the attentive staff. Our server, Laurie, was amazing - so knowledgeable about the menu!

We kicked off with fried green tomatoes and cheese, followed by juicy fried chicken over waffles. The portions were generous, offering great value for the price. Don't miss the pimento bacon cheeseburger with jalapeno jelly - simply divine! 😋

The cozy atmosphere made it a wonderful spot for family dining. Can't wait to return for more delicious comfort food! 🥳
