Mad Cow - Columbia

I've been teasing from 2 stars to 3 stars because their food is great. They are usually quite busy because this! It was my friend's birthday and he loves her food. I made a reservation because we 't get a table otherwise (with a $115 deposit, $25 not refundable) for 9 people. Gratuity of 18% has been added to our final bill, the $90 refundable deposit has not been taken out of the bill ( apparently it should be, but I thought I would be back after the day we dined) and we paid $100 cash towards the final bill. At the time of payment, we have expressly said to withdraw the $100 and charge the rest on my card. Rather, the waitress took the $100 cash and calculated my card for the entire balance. I contacted the management later and he said, okay no problem I will give you when I find your reception. He found it and reimbursed the $90 that should be refunded anyway. After I went back and forth, and I suspect he didn't understand, he basically told me too bad about the other $100. I don't know about you, but $100 is a lot of money for me and I paid over $350 for dinner at the end. I will never return to MAD COW EVER AGAIN. For management to have absolutely zero respect for a customer is amazing to say the least. I wish it wasn't the case, but I refuse to go back. The music was also so extremely loud that I couldn't hear the people right next to me (internal seats). That was also the last time I had eaten there (side sitting at the edge of the restaurant).

Definitely a great choice in burger spots in Columbia, Missouri. The food was hot and fresh and made to order! Juicy burgers and hot fries. Absolutely delicious. Came all the way from San Antonio, Texas and would definitely visit again.

Really good! Better than five guys! The first time to eat here and my expectations were blown. The food was amazing and also large portions. I ordered a double cheeseburger and hairdress and couldn't finish the burger. The restaurant was clean and well managed. My only complaint is that the seats were small. Then I'll be back on the fluffy side.

I went here because I had a craving for a burger. I didn't know what to think about a place named after a fatal disease (Mad Cow) but I tried it anyway. I got the bacon cheeseburger value meal for11 bucks. The value meal is served with a small (and I mean small fountain drink with freshly cut seasoned fries.. I managed to find my burger well hidden under a huge bun. The burger was actually pretty tasty and the fries were delicious. I left not full but satisfied. I think I will go back and try a sandwich with more beef.

The fries were great. The burgers were large but bland. Maybe it?s because I got just a cheeseburger with lettuce tomato and Mayo, but if the fries didn?t have the steak dust seasoning on them, this would have been a pretty flavorless meal. The buns were nice and soft, everything was fresh (beef, veggies). It?s a perfectly fine burger for the price, but not the flavor I was hoping for.
