  Wonderful little diner with great food. I love the Cowntry Special Breakfast and honestly have never had a bad dish here. The staff is friendly and most family and they will treat you like family too. Be sure to ask for the raisin pie and even if you are too full- take it home!

  Cute restaurant with a fun atmosphere.  
  The food is typical greasy small restaurant food. But good if that's what you're in the mood for. Don't go here and expect Ihop, this is closer to Waffle House.

  small town diner with kitschy cow theme. it ain't ever gonna be a linen napkin kind of place. for what it is...it is perfect. a small slice of america, a real alternative to the franchise blandness of the nearby stripmall eateries.
  it isn't fast food. it is small town. the waitstaff is necessitated to multi-task. seat yourself. they'll get to you as soon as they can. can you really expect aunt bea to stop talking to clara in midsentence?
  real food by real people.

  Great breakfast. It is very small but draws tons of locals. Ignore your first impressions from the outside as it may look like a "dive" but the food is definitely "diner". Old fashioned diner and all the food appears to be homemade.  Portion size is generous and price extremely reasonable. The staff is always friendly and attentive to keeping your cup full.  The decor if full of "cow" everything.

  This place is a hole. A lovely, loveable hole that is FULL of cow paraphernalia. I mean, there are cows EVerywhere in this place and its tacky as hell. I love it. The food is cheap. I mean ridiculously cheap, and pretty damn good. They have an amazing pie selection too. I recommend their peach pie or the banana cream pie. Or a milkshake. And they have the most amazing chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy you will ever find. More good news? This place is now non-smoking! Thank goodness, too, because its so tiny that there was virtually no such thing as a smoking section: if one person smoked, the whole place smoked.
  
  The food here is plain, old fashioned comfort food. It's no frills, but it is so good. The servings sizes aren't ridiculous, either. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, country fried steak, really good burgers, green beans and lots of pie!
  
  It's cash or check only, but you probably won't need more than $15 for two people. They are closed on Monday and only open until 3 on Sundays. Also, please watch your language, The Happy Cow is chock full of senior citizens. At 27 and 26, my husband and I were the youngest in there by about 20 years.
