appy Cow in New Braunfels is hands down one of the best hole-in-the-wall bars around. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, laid-back, and full of good energy. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable, whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time stopping by.
What really sets Happy Cow apart is the owner—absolutely amazing. You can tell they genuinely care about the bar, the people, and the overall atmosphere. That positive energy carries through the whole place and makes every visit feel special.
Great drinks, great people, and an unbeatable vibe. If you’re looking for an authentic local spot with character and heart, Happy Cow is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!

Went to Happy Cow last night (Friday 4/4/25) and this quaint bar had so much charm and great atmosphere. Rustic and took me back in time. We enjoyed the outdoor bar as there was a band playing. Has the pizza which was very tasty. Drinks are so reasonably priced.

Cozy rural spot with a local crowd and multiple indoor TVs for watching sporting events. Also has a great outdoor live music venue with lighting and sound system. Food options also available.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch at 1 pm. There were only two people in the bar besides us.
We ordered sliders and a Philly with rings and fries.
We got our drinks and were told it would be 15 minutes because the fryer hadn’t been turned on yet. We weren’t in a big hurry, so we didn’t mind waiting. Thirty minutes later, we were still waiting. We asked the server, and she said it was almost done. Our food came out about 5 minutes later.
The sliders were top-notch some of the best burgers ever. They were simple yet so flavorful. What made them stand out was they were SEASONED! I didn’t even add condiments they were seasoned so well. The philly was also very tasty.
The fries were very good, but the rings were ok. If I had to choose between the two, the fries are hands down better.
The food is very good. I’m not sure if the wait time is something normal or not as it was our first visit.

If you rate this less than 5 stars it’s because you wanted to have a bad night and complain. For me it’s 5 all day long for bringing in Jake Bush for live shows!!

Happy Cow Bar & Grill is a pretty cool place to visit.
Staff is friendly. Burgers and Fries were good. Beer (Corona Premier) was cold. We came early afternoon after shopping at Buc-ee’s. Definitely would like to come out in the early evening next time.

Ok Food, Outside Seating, and Live Music.
Every other week, they do a crawfish broil. They have outside picnic tables, a small stage for live music, and there is some green space. The big trees are great for shade. It’s a very typical country dive bar setup with an expected selection of commercial beers.
The food was ok but a bit overpriced. Chicken fingers cost 9 bucks and were the kind you buy frozen and just heat up. Even the appetizers, like fried pickles, were 8 bucks or more. Sadly, the crawfish was also only ok and they didn’t have any butter.
Everyone working there was nice but don’t plan on the crawfish being ready till around 2pm (they told us 1pm originally).
It’s also not a great place to bring the kids, which makes sense because it primarily functions as a bar. Although there is green space to run around in, there’s a lot of broken glass, a barb wire fence, and a lot of brush so it’s not really safe for younger kids.
Overall, it’s a decent place for a bite but I don’t think we will go back anytime soon.
