Absolutely love this place. The first time we went I had prime rib. It was perfectly cooked and awesome. The second time I had butternut raviolis in a maple Alfredo sauce. It was the best thing I have had in a long time. We brought a friend from out of town with us and he had the Delmonico steak. It was cooked perfectly as well. We had a great time with great food and will be back again even if it is an hour travel from our house!

Excellent service, Beef Tidbits are always yummy! My once a yr snowmobiling stop never disappoints:) Thank you Cow Palace! Thank you Sonya and Ericka!

Pros: Elk viewing free of charge in the barnyard. Elk burger, made from elk roaming outback, with home-made sweet potato fries are a must try. Servers are friendly and competent. Cons: Expect a long wait for your food if a tour group is present.

I was very disappointed and wanted to give it a one star, but then thought the live music was nice so I gave it two stars. Maybe I was overly harsh because I am used to eating fresh organic, local, minimally processed food, and I was disappointed, but maybe I have a higher standard than most. Can't remember the last time I encountered a salad bar. This one had lettuce (not iceberg, a plus, but very wilted and limp, a minus), fresh sliced mushrooms, olives, cucumbers and red onion, canned sliced beets, canned 3 bean salad, pasta salad, potato salad, coleslaw, cottage cheese...I felt like I was back in the 70's at a Sizzler. I ordered a burger, medium rare. It arrived medium well. But worse then that was the quality of the meat. I just couldn't eat it. My husband also had a burger. It came with a plastic slice of American shingle cheese glued to the top and sauteed onions and bacon. Maybe all the added flavors disguised the bad meat, because he was not as disappointed. The place was friendly and filled with the whole town. Everyone knew each other and everyone was drinking beer - Coronas for $2.50! The live music was great - 70's rock. And how can you not try a place called The Cow Palace?

I had such a good experience I went back the next night! Fantastic steak, cooked perfectly with a baked potato and salad bar, plus 2 beers- $20!! Second night I had the Bourbon smothered Steak tips. Again, fantastic, and $15.99! And (for you single gentlemen...), if the bartender was any hotter she'd leave burn marks in the floor when she walked.

This is the place to go for one thing: ELK! My friend in Hawaii (yes, 5,000 miles and 48 states away) specifically recommended this restaurant (and this quiet corner of America) to visit. She had grown up just down the road from Derby and was keenly familiar with the restaurant. So believe it or not the Cow Palace was high on our list of things to see and do in Vermont. At first we thought we had entered some dude ranch in Texas as we walked under a huge arch of antlers piled at least 8 feet high in front of the main door. Upon entry you're immediately greeted by a huge stuffed elk followed by stuffed polar bear, birds, and other things formerly known as "alive". The dining hall is fairly good sized while still preserving its rustic feel and the side bar area was wood-cozy yet well lit. The two times we dined-in we were seated promptly without wait. Don't come here for anything but to eat local ELK meat. Fine dining, this is not. But good, solid food, it is. On our 2 visits (plus 1 takeout for our drive out), we enjoyed their poutine (a heart-clogging mix of fries, cheese, and gravy enjoyed heavily north of the border) and French onion soup and found both delicious, hardy, and quite filling. The elk burgers were juicy, deep with flavor, and a lean meat. Although I have to admit it's kinda unnerving watching your lunch wandering amiably about just outside the window as you're enjoying one of their brethren on your plate. I guess it'd be worse if the shoe was on the other foot and you were the one on the outside looking in wondering what happened to Uncle Joe. Hey, if you can't handle seeing your meat walking around - hooves, fur, antlers and all - maybe you should consider being a vegetarian, right? HINT: Seriously, though, if you think this kind of thing will bother you, go at dinnertime when the herd is bedded down for the night and you can't see what's outside anyway. Cow Palace is a good experience! We enjoyed our food but most of all enjoyed this unique menu and style of restaurant - a little slice of the variety which makes America so great!

A very comfortable and casual place to grab a meal. I tried the elk burger, because when else can you eat for dinner what you can look out the window and see wandering around outside?! A lot of locals here, as the waitresses were able to identify many of the patrons here by name. As a out of towner, we felt very welcomed.

Went to the Cow Palace for elk sirloin - they were out. Waitress offered an elk burger with the salad bar that would have come with the sirloin at no charge. When I was near the bottom of my coffee and water, another waitress filled my water glass and started a fresh pot of coffee. Wait staff that knows how to make customers happy.

Actually, this place saved me. I was starving when I was in Montreal, because I couldn't find a restaurant that I'd love...(coming from London & L.A. -- both places with amazing food) We were just driving through the city, and saw that this was the nearest place to eat, so we parked next to the Bison n' gave it a shot. When you walk in, there are all sorts of animals taxidermeeeed (lol) and one HUGE polar bear in particular near the front. I thought, oh great, this is going to suck, but actually it didn't! The french onion soup was surprisingly flavorful, not salty, and the right amount. Had the corn nuggets, a little temperature hot, but again, great like the ones in Florida. The sweet potato fries were good, not greasy or soggy! AAAAAAAND, the pecan pie a la mode was a great way to say good bye to Vermont. I'd go here again!

The decor is fabulous and exactly what you'd expect for this type of restaurant. Large stuffed animals everywhere including bison, moose, elk, turkey and even a polar bear. The restaurant is surprisingly light though and not the dark deep atmosphere you'd normally associate with stuffed animal restaurants! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Explained the menu expertly. For appetiser I had the popcorn chicken which was a generous portion. It arrived fairly promptly too as did other peoples meals. For main course I had the Elk Burger. Again it came out promptly and was piping hot. The fries looked hand cut an there was an extremely generous portion of them which I was unable to finish. The burger was cooked to perfection and tasted great. Just what you'd expect from a gamier meet such as elk. I deliberately didn't finish the fries so I had room for dessert. They had a selection of home made pies and I chose raspberry. It was delicious although could have been a little warmer. The only fault in an otherwise excellent meal. Cow Palace is certainly not fine dining and doesn't purport to be. It is good American style food at a decent price with excellent service. I gave it 5 stars because it met or exceeded all the requirements for its class of restaurant.

Don't bother. They need to hire people who can cook.

I've driven by this place a few times and last week we finally decided to check it out. The appetizers were pretty lousy. The sampler platter was extremely greasy and the taste was pretty lousy. The poutine was pretty bad and cold. The sweet potato fries were sub par and nowhere nearly as good as I've had them at other restaurants in vermont. The entrees were nothing spectacular either. Poor flavor, not particularly fresh, greasy. The service was about average, not particularly friendly, not rude either. I wouldn't come back, there are far better restaurants in the Newport/Derby area.

We came for the elk and it was just fine. The atmosphere in the bar area where they serve lunch is much less appealing than the main dining room, which made me wish I could have been there at dinner time. I had expected that for a place with an elk farm in the back they would have more than 2 options for eating elk, but it was your pretty standard American food menu, which was a bit of a disappointment. I had the elk cut of the day, which was sirloin tips and they were delicious, cooked perfectly and lightly seasoned. The fries were really good, too. I would have had a baked potato, but I can't eat dairy and they don't serve margarine (weird, right?). Also, there was no lunch portion of the elk stead option, so it ended up being a really expensive lunch. The salad bar was not that great as the lettuce didn't seem that fresh, but it did have a good number of toppings and dressings. My partner had the elk burger with bacon and fries and he said it was cooked perfectly and was totally satisfied. Overall, it was just fine, but I was expecting much more.

I read review on a northern Quebec online paper about this Cow Palace built on an elk farm in northern VT near the Quebec border. So I made an attempt to check it out. This "Colorado Lodge" of a palace is decorated with stuffed deer, elk, moose, and even a polar bear!!! The menu is pretty standard American steak/ chops/ burgers with some bison and elk added. I also enjoyed the large salad bar with hot bread bar. Prices are pretty reasonable. They have a full bar. Minis one star for only having 1 VT micro brew (Long Trail). We also enjoyed the nice view of the elk grazing in the field next door.
