We have been wanting to visit Copper Cow in Minnetonka since it opened, but we were a bit afraid of the possibility of huge crowds. We decided maybe brunch would be the way to go and as lick would have it, we ended up with just a shirt five minute wait for a table.
Copper Cow is not a huge restaurant either. It is in a converted Dairy Queen that was added onto. The dining room is one large room with a bar at one end and the kitchen on the other end. On the side, there is an area for take out order pickup. The tables are a bit close together and cozy.
John had the Cow and the Sow burger. It is a 60% local beef & 40% local bacon patty, with bacon cheddar, icebox pickles, butter lettuce, on a house-made milk and honey bun. Since we were there at brunch they were not serving fries, so it came with a side of farmer’s potatoes, which are cut up and fried potatoes. They were fine, but not a preferred potato format for either of us. (Hash browns would be preferred.) The burger was cooked as ordered.
I had the Crispy Chicken and Waffles, which was fried buttermilk chicken, bourbon and bacon maple syrup and micro greens. The chicken was a boneless breast and nice and crispy. The waffle was excellent as well. The bourbon syrup was flavorful and really made the dish. The whipped butter was ok, and best on the waffles. It was a large serving and I would order this again.
The service was fine, a bit rushed, but we had everything we needed in a timely manner. The only real downside was the cold drafts every time the front door opened. They really need to add an entry way or a double door. I’m not sure if the Copper Cow is worth the trip to the suburbs, but if you live nearby it is a nice addition to the dining scene.
