Cowan's Restaurant Review

Best place in the midwest! Great Food! GREAT SERVICE! BEST OWNERS CARE ABOUT THEIR PATRONS!

Goooooood breakfast! Amazing biscuits in a great area.

Wonderful food & great service!!! If you are ever in Washington Missouri you gotta stop there...... COWAN'S YUMMO!!!

Awesome burgers, sandwiches and pies. This place is amazing.

Love Cowans for lunch BUT tonight is the 2nd time we have tried dinner there. I ordered the 12 piece shrimp but only received 8. When I asked the waitress about it she said the 12 was marked out on the menu and they don't do 12 anymore. Well, it definitely said 12 on my menu, no mark outs. No apology, basically told I was wrong.

We've been here multiple times and everything has been delicious! They also have amazing pie. Staff is always friendly.

The Reuben was amazing and the desert was too. It was busy they could have used a larger bathroom

The eggs and other ingredients were do fresh. Great atmosphere and service.

Everyone was very nice the atmosphere was nice and it was clean food was excellent also

Got waited on right away and food was hot and good. Price was right

Family style food; great breakfast selection served anytime they are open. Awesome selection of pies

Great small town atmosphere and wonderful home cooking!

Always a great meal when I go there. They are known for their pie's.

Great people. The waitress we had was great and the food was great

Nice home atmosphere. Food was delicious. I love that it's homemade. I would definitely recommend eating here.

This delicious country kitchen is a must visit old school staple of wash mo with Super good food and a amazing long time staff Stephanie laddona Jeanette and others make this country style restaurant feel like home P.S. ! there OPEN for breakfast and lunch on MONDAYS again ! Things to try open face roast beef dinner chicken bacon salad all breakfast foods expecially country ham sausage cakes and the biscuits and gravy baaaby there fried chicken and biscuits are legit as well and for dessert there famous for there mile high pies and they are good but let me tell you the chocolate peanut butter is the way to fly

Cute place with a homey comfort and good home-style food. The decor is pure Americana with a dash of nostalgia, and the menu, albeit largely standard menu items, is very well executed -- and you won't go away hungry! The server was not only efficient, but also pleasant and charming. What an overall excellent experience!

Classic home-cooking family restaurant. Known for excellent pies and great all day breakfast.

Delicious home-made food and desserts!! Go every time we are in town!

Home cooked food, FABULOUS pies, good coffee. Location is downtown, close to the river and historic Washington. Expect a busy place if you go on a Sunday after church lets out.

Tasty breakfast. Big portions. The pies looked good but I didn't try one

A very friendly and homey place. The food is very good. Reasonable prices. My wife and I love the pie and cobbler.

We almost passed place up but are glad that we didn't. Nice place full of history and the food is top notch. You can tell that everything is homemade and not some processed same old stuff you can find anywhere. The staff is very friendly and inviting and the atmosphere is also great. Would definitely come back.

An old favorite. Great food and you must try the pie.

Great breakfast and local atmosphere. Close to the river and market. Extremely friendly people as well

Enjoyed breakfast last week, all four in our party thought it hit the spot.

Stopped in Wednesday for the 5.00 burger and fries special and the fries were fire and the burger and bun too! The patty was hand pressed .

Son had a bowl of chicken noodle and it was definitely homemade.

Closed the meal with peach blackberry pie and some cheese cake that did not dissapoint.

Support local

Was great. My husband and I loved the huge piece of carmel apple crisp pie.

I didn't eat there this time, but when the people I was late to meet got their food I really regretted it. This place is amazing

The best mile high pies anywhere. Always start with dessert. Good service, nice diner place in downtown Washington Missouri.

Great breakfast items and delicious coffee. Must save room for their pie! The best!

A destination restaurant. Always good ford, great staff.

Awesome little place. The food was phenomenal and Hayden provided amazing service!

Good pie. Good people. Great location. Menu is run-of-the-mill other than the pie.

Went with a friend, my first time here. Staff was very friendly, restaurant was clean, food was good, excellent service.

Service was great as was the food. It's my son's new favorite.

The food was okay but the worse part was the terrible service. I went there with my family and the place wasn't even packed. The servers seemed like they never worked there. We ordered extra fried chicken and we never got it until after our meal was over. The pie was delicious but it never made up for the overcooked dry chicken and disorganized staff serving our meal.

Ordered. 10oz ribeye. Got steamed breakfast steak. Ordered ceasar salad got bottled dressing. Only went because of all the hype and awards. They needto learn how to sear and season

Great service, great food. Nothing fancy, just good ole home cooked food. Very good pies.

Not impressed. Waitress couldn't remember that I wanted my soup when my husband got his salad. Food was not that good. Coconut pie had a bright yellow filling instead of white. Tasted artificial.

This place is amazing home of the mile high pie! And the food is equally as good. The servers are awesome to great little place we visit frequently.

I love thr remodel & the food is great no matter what you order.

I had a great breakfast steak with coffee. Delicious biscuit too.

Great food and place. Was a little bummed they wouldn't accept reservations the other day as we had a large party so we showed up and left because it seemed like the wait was going to be a long time.

First time going here for breakfast. Everything was so good and great service. Will definitely go back!

First time visiting. Everything was clean and we were seated right away. We tried a wide variety of lunch and dinner plates and appetizers. Ravioli was good. The burger and kids chicken strips were very average. Spaghetti wasn't good, noodles weren't done and there was only a splash of sauce. The service was below average. Had to track down the waitress for refills, applesauce was served with no spoon and our toddler was done eating before we could find her to ask for one. I'd like to try their breakfast but wouldn't make the trip for dinner again.

Great food, service, and an assortment of fresh baked pies to die for!

Good family diner with a long history. Had the pretzel burger, excellent. They are known for their pies. The blackberry did not dissapoint.

The cooking is excellent. Love to go after church on Sundays

Very good food. Known for their desserts, "Mile High" pies. But do serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very good variety of choices. Good friendly service. Very much recommended.

Visited for the first time during the winefest and truly enjoyed my breakfast. Fresh eggs, great service and family environment.

Food was good. Service was poor. Order was incorrect and kitchen was unable to provide side items ordered. Restaurant should buy more silverware.

Great food, great service! Amazing biscuits and Gravy

Excellent pies! My go to place for dessert. Friendly staff. Food eh.

Clean and pleasant environment. But if you remember it from 20-30 years ago, it lacks the same charm of what it once was. The food was decent and service good. But it just still seemed a shell of what it once was.

Foods great, people are great, service can be slow when their busy.

Great food, great service, great small town atmosphere!

I saw deep fried cream corn on the menu and I had to try an order. It was very good and wish I had room for more! Instead, I ordered the Cowan's Turkey club and it was delicious. Piled high with Turkey, Ham and Bacon. Crispy fries but to many to finish and ice tea refills without asking. Staff was very friendly and busy waiting on tables and serving food. I would eat here again but maybe just orders of the corn

Waited hour for food..very bland and lukewarm...only 4 people in place..ate here 2x. Same both times won't be back

Excellent food. The southwest salad is HUGE and wonderful. And ya gotta do the pie!

Just a good place for comfort food and or breakfast..and don't forget to save room for the best homemade Pies in the state. well lets just say the best in the county..Wink...service is great the place is clean ..just a nice place to take the family for a nice meal.

Great food great prices great staff. What else can I say? Oh yeah the pies!

Great food. Had the original breakfast . Crioy potatoes perfectly cooked eggs and wonderful toast. Also enjoyed the biscuit and gravy ... but the pies to die for. 10/10 service
