Muddy Cow - Shakopee — Restaurant in Shakopee

Unfortunately I will not be able to give a full review, because of the completely disrespectful service we received, we did not stick around for the full experience, My husband and I (both with 10 years of restaurant experience) stopped by on 3/16 to have some drinks, get some apps and watch the wild game. Being that it was Saturday before St. Patty’s day, it was busy and we spotted 2 open seats at the bar and decided it would be quick and easy to just grab those. Everything started off okay… we each ordered a vodka red bull and the bartender gave a a semi snotty question regarding whether we wanted 4 or 2 since it’s 2 for 1 all the time. (we did not know this) not a big deal brushed it off. The bartender made our drinks and handed them to us. Unfortunately once we tried our drinks they were HOT. The ice had almost melted and the liquid was already warm. The bartender gave us glasses fresh out of the dishwasher, which is no problem I understand that! But since I did not want to drink a warm watered down vodka red bull we asked for them to be remade with a chilled glass. This is where things turned bad, I have never been so disrespected or embarrassed in my life. I can’t believe the childish way this guy acted, didn’t catch his name but he had dark hair, tattoos, and facial piercings. He made us both feel so uncomfortable with the temper tantrum he threw. He told us there is nothing he could do about the warm cups, we explain to him he can easily chill the glasses before making the drinks. any real bartender who respects the craft would have never served a cold drink in a hot glass to begin with. Anyways he ended up just giving us chilled glasses ( after we had to tell him how to chill a glass) filled with ice for us to pour our own drinks in. After I attempted to pour my hot vodka Red Bull into the cup of ice it spilled all over the bar which made the bartender react even worse! Shaking his head and throwing a temper tantrum. after watching him work a little bit he seemed slightly drunk or maybe strung out, fumbling cups and banging into things. Anyways after watching my failed attempt my husband refused to pour his own drink. He asked to speak to a manager. After we got her involved she corrected the situation by getting us two new drinks that were made correctly. She was willing to get us a table and get us a new server, but honestly we were disgusted and embarrassed we just wanted to get out of there! I will not revisit this restaurant in horror that I would have to interact with that bartender again! The manager seemed nice and would have liked to get the full experience, but unfortunately we ran into the wrong bartender that day! Sorry don’t typically write bad reviews like this. We are typically great diners and tip well since we have worked every position in the restaurant, and understand how it can be. We were both completely appalled by...

Disappointing first visit. I decided to bring my son here for dinner as it was close to our hotel. Upon arriving, there is a stand right as you enter that says "Welcome to Muddy Cow" but there is no one there and no signage indicating what you should do to get a table. We had to walk around and find a server to ask if we just seat ourselves or what. She told me to go to the host stand and when I asked where that was, she indicated that it was at the end of the bar. We go over and get seated at a table that definitely had not been cleaned yet, then a server walks past and says she'll be right with us. A short time later, a gentleman comes over to take our orders. When he brought our beverages, he noticed the table needed to be cleaned, so he went to grab a cleaning rag, when he came back to wipe the table down, he ended up shifting the whole table so much, he made my beers spill all over the table. Finally when I got my food, I got the nachos, I had to ask for sour cream. The lady who brought the food out said "did you want that?" I said "the menu says it comes with it, so yeah, I would like to have it." We saw our server very little, and I never got the ice water I had requested while ordering our beverages. After we were done eating, I asked for a to-go container to take the rest of our dessert with us, he brought the container, and we didn't see him again for a good 25-30 mins. I just wanted to get out of there after a long day, and it was very frustrating to have to wait so long just to get my check. The food was mediocre and service was amongst the worst I have ever experienced. I would not recommend this...

Oh my God I had never been here before but when I walked in I knew this was going to be a fun place the ambience was excellent and the bartender I can't think of his name but I think it might have been Nick was the coolest dude around and when I ordered my food he asked if I wanted regular fries or waffle fries now I'm particularly fond of waffle fries so I almost said yes for crying out loud upgrade me to the waffle fries and however Nick was so cool he said if you've never tasted our regular fries I suggest you do and I left it at that anyway to make a long story longer my food came and those regular fries with a simply the best french fries I've ever eaten on the planet Earth I swear to God so I drew an immediate bond with Nick the bartender besides that the food was outstanding in my 7 months that I've been here in town I have eaten at the muddy cow a minimum of 42 times not even kidding the food is freaking outstanding oh by the way did I mention whenever you order a drink they give you two for one no matter when you order it from the time they open till the time they close yes I'm not even kidding 2 for 1 all the freaking time!!!!! Whether you are a hot couple out for the night to have some fun or you're a family with five kids this place has it all with separate areas for all so come play at the muddy cow you will not be disappointed! Tell Nick Kenny says to take good...
