As you may have guessed by looking at all the previous reviews, this place scores well. Just like their food, which basically makes this place – along with the service and the vibes, it’s pretty damn awesome.
My Kobe Cheeseburger was beyond full of flavor and the Skirt Steak Salad, undeniably intense and delicious.
We came here before going to Descanso, and even though it was 90 minute drive from Corona on a Saturday night, the food and company was absolutely worth the trip.
I can’t wait to go back and you should look forward to going as well.

I love spending time in the Montrose area, and it just wouldn’t be the same without a stop at Black Cow for breakfast. I’ve been coming here for well over 10 years, and I can’t believe I never left a review sooner. The service is always consistently great, and while the food can vary a bit from visit to visit, their homemade jam (at least it used to be homemade!) has always been unforgettable.
There’s always a wait—truly always—but it usually moves quickly. I’ve never seen this place anything but packed. This time, I ordered the corned beef hash and it was delicious. We also tried the skirt steak salad, which was also really good. Everyone at the table was happy with their food.
Of course we’ll keep coming back—this place is part of the Montrose experience. Must try if you’re around! Especially to check out their ceiling fan, I love the decorations!I’m

Their southern breakfast skillet and iced coffee with sweet foam is immaculate! This place gets really busy on weekends but the lines usually move quickly. I took off a point because, while Black Cow is one of my absolute favorite breakfast spots, their lunch is just okay. Get there before 11 AM!

The food tasted amazing! And the cafe is very cute the only downside was the waiter forgot my mom’s latte and we had to remind her but otherwise the service was good. I would definitely come back here if I am in the area and would recommend this place to anyone.

I’m very disappointed to say the least, as a neighboring business I have tried to support this restaurant but this is the third time i’ve encountered bad quality. I contacted the restaurant letting them know that the huevos rancheros they packed to go had basically cold tortillas missing egg and tossed in the same container with fruit. As a latin person who is not Mexican I know you wouldn’t call this dish huevos rancheros. But the most sad part about this was me calling after I had been there to pick up In person being left on hold for 10 minutes and being told there’s nothing they can do and that this is the way that the food is prepared that it’s not your regular Mexican dish. Please don’t make huevos rancheros If they aren’t the proper way.

Great tasty food maybe 4.5/5. We had the corned beef skillet, chicken sausage omelette, and the beef skirt salad. The portion for the beef skirt salad since it was pretty small for the price but it was really tasty.

Service was fantastic. He even pulled the chair out for my wife to sit. Very attentive and checked on us often. Food was also excellent. The chicken salad was enormous and the breaded chicken was light and crunchy.

We had brunch, lox n bagel and eggs, sausage and potatoes.
The food was great, our waitress was very busy and, while she was kind and friendly, we waited for a while to get refills on drinks, extra condiments, etc, and also for the final check. It’s Saturday, and seems like prime time to have lunch/brunch.
There is easy parking in the rear of the restaurant and street parking in front.
Restrooms were clean and fully stocked.
The restaurant is a great place for breakfast or lunch, just be prepared to be patient in a crowded space.
