| - I ended up here with a group of about 20 people, so I'll admit that my experience might not have been totally representative of Cowbell. However, general issues that come with being a large group aside (and hmmm, they seemed quite practiced with handing out 20 separate checks...), a few things really bothered me.
1. I understand that a restaurant cannot control what people on the street choose to do. However, being asked for money while sitting outside is not a pleasant experience, and reinforced my decision to not leave the group (even though I was pretty tired and really just wanted to get back to my hotel ASAP).
2. You can order any burger naked, which is great for those of us on a low-carb diet. Except, without the bun, the Big Will's breakfast burger just looked small and sad on the plate, and was ultimately pretty darn meh. Not much there for $13.
3. The food I received did not quite match what the menu said. My supposed over easy egg was definitely hard and if there was honey mustard on there, I didn't find it. I didn't think "hold the red onion" meant that...
4. The cucumber salad was at first pleasantly vinegary and tart, but after a few bites, it became almost intolerable. I'm all for flavor, but yikes.
5. As another reviewer mentioned, the ladies' room is a single-use and uncomfortably situated by the kitchen. Not a nice place to wait in the inevitable line. Plus it was super loud inside, leaving me wanting to curl up with my hands over my ears.
So given the vast number of other restaurants in the vicinity, do yourself a favor and pass up another mediocre, overpriced burger.
