Best

WOW

This is the best brunch experience I've had in NYC to date. I had a burger with a slice of beet and pinapple and it was out of this world. I was with 5 people and everyone agree...

Worst

One of the worst places I'd ever been to in New York, hands down, but not because of the restaurant itself. For some reason this cute little place in Alphabet City (right across ...

I forgot I was in NYC 5/20/2005

The decor of the unique dining area reminds me of nowhere else in NY. I feel taken away every time I come to the Sunburnt Cow. The first time I came was on Valentines day with my girlfriend. We shared the couple's tasting menu, and were in love with the place ever since. We've gone out of our way to come back often as the food is consistantly better each time. On most nights the DJ spins funky music, while plate after plate of exotic food flows out of the kitchen. The Bessie Sticks are excelent, along with the Baramundi and the Boar. If you come with a big party, order one of everything and share, its all good. Also, you MUST try the ""Sunburnt"" - best drink on earth! Carefull though... the food might not be very expensive, but those drinks add up fast! Pros: Unique food, Intruiging setting, Value Cons: Expensive drinks, Location sucks more

Auss...ome 5/17/2005

Best drinks, awesome crowd, amazing food, live music (sometimes) and a garden for the smokers like us! The friendliest bar in NYC hands down!! Pros: Pretty girls Cons: Pretty boys more

Holy cow !!!!! 5/7/2005

What a find. This place has a funky outback rustic charm. Went a couple of nights ago and it has an austrailan tapas menu wich is perfect for this type of restaurant. Everything on the munu sounds interesting but mihgt not be the type of thing you would risk ordering your entire entree on. Kangaroo sausage ended up a little spicy for me but quite good. Lamb chop was out of this world the shrimp on the barbie was great and their barra fish was out of this world. Great date place and everthing on the menu is around $10 which is super cheap. On mondays they have there whole menu at $5 which is so cheap you might get arrested for stealing. Dont bother going in 2 mondays because I am going back with 12 people. :) Everyone is really nice there also. Pros: Great food , Great atmosphere, Cheap Prices more

Gold on the Lower East Side 1/18/2005

ive been a fan of the lower east side for bars for quite some time. but there was never a really 'cool' place to hang out until i found the sunburned cow. youd never know it from the outside but when youre in the mood, this place is hoppin. the food is delicious, the bartenders are hot, and the music rocks from the djs. you can even play video games at the bar on the big screen! i'm so happy i found this place. my friends and i are going to become regular aussies very soon. well done mate! Pros: cool atmosphere, playstation! more

Near perfect 1/18/2005

After hearing some positive word of mouth reviews about the restaurant/bar, six of us went down for dinner. Getting there was a little bit of a chore (not really near any subways), but the trip was well worth it. We went on a Monday night for their $5 food and drinks special. Everything was $5! All the food we ordered was great. The drinks were also great. It's not high caliber dining, but this place is obviously about more than just the food and drinks. We ended up hanging out for a few hours at their bar with a staff that we felt like we've known for years. A gem of a find this place is. We'll be going back, and recommending it to all of our friends. Pros: Great food and drinks, Inexpensive, Friendly staff Cons: , Hard to get to more

Want prompt service? Look elsewhere... 10/3/2004

Food is fantastic, but since they switches to Tapas-style dishes (same food, only less of it), the prices don't make much sense. We were 4 people, ate 6 dishes in 7 minutes (after waiting 45 minutes) and felt we'd just had appetizers. Service is super-friendly but super-slow. Expect to sit without a drink for 10 minutes or longer depending on how busy it is. Pros: Great ambience, Friendly service Cons: , Slow service more

Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi! 1/21/2004

Sunburnt Cow's teriffic staff made me homesick for Sydney! Fantastic food and a really interesting bar and dining room. This is going to be my new hangout for sure. Great music. more

PAPER PLATES! 1/20/2004

This place rules...delicious food, great service, laid back atmosphere. Every request is met with ""no worries"" and not in the Outback chain sense! Some people are put off by the paper plates...but i say bring it on...I'm cool with them saving on china and passing the value along to us! Try the barramundi....scrumptious... Pros: Cheap, Friendly, great food! Cons: Cash only...damn more
