The food was Fantastic and the staff were lovely and friendly
Had the excellent value steak night deal including wine. Gorgeous rump steak
Favourite Ilkley restaurant- multiple visits under the belt now - every dish we try is great
Staff were really pleasant and nicely attentive. Food and service was excellent
Great food. Great staff. Great venue. Had a very nice evening.
I’m very sad because the food was the best ever but service not good such a shame . I eat out lots I like the restaurant and wanted to book my Christmas Eve table tonight.
Great steak but let down by the lukewarm scallops that were missing certain ingredients as advertised on the menu. Staff were friendly although not very attentive. Had to get up and ask for extra drinks after waiting some time and had to ask again for the table to be cleared. Won’t rush back.
Great staff and friendly atmosphere food was excellent perfectly cooked steak
Very disappointed with the food, had very little flavour and very very salty, poor selection of larger and wine list not good.
Straight to a choice of tables - nice. The Primitivo previously on the wine list has now gone - not so nice. Food arrived on a plank which meant bits fell off as there was no lip - not nice. Coffee served in a plastic mug - weird.
Exemplary roast lunch, good cooking, generous portions, good value, welcoming.
First off: food and service were good-at least 4 stars. Negatives: too expensive compared to equal or better restaurants in ilkley; atmosphere was subdued; the owner or major domo (I think) struggled to appear genuinely hospitable. We left the restaurant feeling pretty sorry for the business.
Great food. Staff really helpful and a great bar. Well recommended :-)
Food & service absolutely spot on! Will be returning again.
Very friendly staff, good food with very generous portions, nice atmosphere!
Staff were fantastic a little pricey but I knew that before we went no complaints at all
I would highly recommend, great food and a warm friendly atmosphere.
Great visit. Warm welcome, Friendly service and great food. Definitely will go again. Thanks
Ordered the steak night deal which was for two. Waiter told us he would do something so 3 people could enjoy the deal. Paid normal restaurant price for third meal. Would have expected £25 for third steak and sauce, £50 for other two, including a bottle of wine, but no, £25.95 + £2.95 for sauce, for third person, but only one bottle of wine between three still. No flexibility there.!!!
Amazing food friendly staff great atmosphere presented the meals professionally
Went to the Ilkley Cow for my wife's birthday. Great food and service. Will definitely be going back
Had a lovely meal, lots of choice, clean light and airy setting and the staff very attentive. Thanks for a great night out
Food was incredible, our waitress was incredibly friendly, polite and engaging - Burger was HUGE!!! They even boxed up my dessert, lovely place! Highly recommended!
Chose here for Sunday lunch with my partner and friends... great food, service and atmosphere... we will be back .
We took our friends along for Sunday lunch and although we enjoyed it I did feel the meat (sirloin beef) wasn’t as good or plentiful as on previous occasions. Still enjoyed the trimmings though.
From start to finish a great time. The starter was excellent pulled pork scotch egg. The main course was a perfect steak for 2 people to share our host Georgia was brilliant and full of knowledge. I would not hesitate to recommend it .
Food was lovely and the steak offer with a bottle of wine is well worth it.
Great place, great service, great beer, great food. Very enjoyable.
Great food and great value. Staff were very good, thanks.
Very accommodating., couldn’t do more for us. Look forward to a return visit
The food was excellent and the service was great too
Lovely friendly staff and quite honestly then best burger I’ve had. A proper beef burger. Definitely be back to try steaks
Smell of disinfectant upon arriving. Weren’t shown to our table. Starter sent back because it was stone cold. Lack of atmosphere, which means you just want to eat and go. Nothing there really makes you want to linger for longer and perhaps order more coffees or drinks.
Excellent steak house, really good value for money. Always recommend!
Excellent food and service levels, lovely ambience friendly staff well managed.
We have visited the Ilkley Cow on a number of occasions, each and every single time we have been welcomed and enjoyed fantastic food! We would recommend the Ilkley Cow to anybody reading their reviews before visiting themselves!
Food at 50% off was really excellent value, really quite though considering that offer was in place. Overall will try again.
Welcoming team - excellent steaks & scotch egg. Mac n cheese & calamari not very flavoursome. Recommended & will definitely visit again soon.
The food was tasty and well presented. The restaurant was clean and had a good atmosphere.
Excellent service and excellent food, we will definitely be back
Very exspensive for simple food. Sauces were very mean, staff delightful
Went along for the steak night and we both really enjoyed it.
Great service, good food, amazing atmosphere. Would highly recommend for a night out or a special occasion.
Amazing steaks, superb service and top notch wine. Can’t rate this highly enough. Will be back soon now we have discovered this gem.
Well -have visited twice before as the moody cow & have had two very good experiences but last night was very poor - 2 of our steaks were as much fat as meat & under done - one other steak was grissly - thought £3.50 was a bit steep for 3 onion rings one of which was over cooked ! This was a birthday celebration so we were very disappointed -complained about it & were offered two free meals ....but we still had a bill of £185.00 for 5 people ! Very expensive for what it is -won’t be visiting again.
A disappointing night. They need better staff and a chef
The service and food were excellent, we arrived happy and we left delighted
We always enjoy the Ilkley Cow and look forward to our next visit! Totally recommend to others reading this...
Really Great food and really great service, top notch food
