25/10/2025: We have been coming to Holy Cow a few times a year for a number of years and it used to be our go-to place - unfortunately it is no longer and today's visit was probably our last.
Tried the milkshake for the first time, which on the website is called "maybe the world's best" - maybe they should change this to maybe the world's thinnest as it tastes more like cold sweet milk, where it is difficult to taste the difference between the vanilla and strawberry versions. Mentioned it to the staff and got the answer - "That's completely normal".
After a short wait the burgers arrived where two out of four were closer to rare than the usual medium rare - luckily we were able to swap between each other so everyone was ok as we didn't have time to complain about it.
The amount of filling and especially truffle mayo was almost non-existent (compared to before) so the difference between our burgers was hard to see and taste. Luckily we got a little extra truffle mayo, but not optimal and was the last straw to take away the good atmosphere.
The fries were great as always (although with an extra hair that my son removed from his portion). Accidentally discovered that we had paid for ketchup for two of our menus, when apparently only mayo is part of the menu. This was not mentioned when we ordered at the checkout.
I mostly wanted to give 1-2 stars but the quality of the ingredients is good and maybe we were just unlucky today.

Just had to update my review as I stopped by and tried their Holy Cow Burger with Cheese and Bacon, and it was honestly the best burger I've ever had.
Their steak is just amazing and the bun goes so well with it, overall just a wonderful burger.
Still takes a while to make it, but that's okay when the result is this good, sometimes good things are worth waiting for.
So the only downside is that their premises aren't particularly nice, there's nothing wrong with them, they're just boring.
I just got a cheese burger, but it was a good cheese burger.
I wouldn't say it's the best burger I've ever had, but it's in the top 10.
They took a while to make it, there was actually someone who came after me who got their burgers before I did, which I was surprised about, but they may have ordered from home.
And even though the premises are nice and clean, it was cold, which dampened the atmosphere a bit.
