Cowan's Restaurant Review

Good food but not cheap. For 2 adults we spent over $25 for breakfast. Breakfast shouldn't cost that much not like we had bloody marys

Have you seen Meringue pie?? Its sooo tall and yummy!

Can not say enough good things about this restaurant! Clean, well decorated, excellent staff, fabulous menu, good food, generous portions, nice prices, family friendly. Go. Just go.

Good breakfast and good service. I was a fan of the big porker breakfast and I really enjoyed the service. One of the better places to eat breakfast in Washington

The Reuben and Caesar Salad I had were very good. I liked the interior. The people were very courteous and friendly.

If you go there you going to yourself to get a piece of your favorite pie they have really affected the Fine Art of meringue topping. The entrees were pretty good not outstanding not great but pretty good I had a burger and unfortunately was a bit overcooked. From what I understand this once was a very outstanding restaurant.

Really good. Heather was my waitress, nice girl with a beautiful smile.

Cowan's is a great restaurant! Plus, is home to The Mile High Pie! The Mile High Pie is a chocolate pie with a meringue pyramid, and chocolate flakes on top. They have more pies. My favorite pie is pumpkin. On a different note, Cowan's sells breakfast all day, and has different specials every day.

Very good staff! Food is ok. Pie is pretty darn good!

Good home cooking in a clean friendly environment close to all the shops downtown. And the pies are to die for.

Cowan's is cozy and friendly. The food and the service were very good. And conveniently located in the downtown historic district.

Thre salad I ordered was so good... it didn't need the dressing that came on the side! The slice of Choc Peanut Butter pie was waaaaay too delicious!

We went in for pie and coffee. The slices were huge and delish. Wonderful to find Blueberry pie. Could have used a dash of cinnamon but, that is the way they do it in Maine.

In all SINCERITY...and trying to be Fair the best thing about this dining experience was the new young server named Maliyah..she was very pleasant during our first time eating here and it was her first day. ONLY high fructose ketchup packets offered and they limit your ketchup. No fresh condiments offered. The breaded cheesy cauliflower as stated on the menu was NOT even as described no cheese and a very small portion given for 6.49 very disappointed when asked where the cheese was the manager replied to Maliyah very loudly IT IS WHAT IT IS let me tell you my lunch partner was shocked to hear this come from the Kitchen . The Burger was rated a 5 out of 10 but the Onions rings were RAW inside we didnt address that issue to the response of the manager over the Cauliflower incident. My Bacon Bleu Chicken sandwich was extremely Salty and Bitter I had ordered a side of Sweet Potato Fries but didnt recieved them as she came out 5 minutes later to say they had none so I ordered a coleslaw which ended up being Dry and Bland. The bill with tip $40.42. The manager did not check us out at the counter nor approach us to even address the dining experience. After leaving we had a bad after taste in our palettes. I am a lover of food as being a Sous Chef 15 years I know Custimer Service is vital for success and That Excellence of food is what brings people back. This restraunt lacked Both. Do not waste your hard cash here regardless of it being the Oldest place on the waterfront it lacks Enthusism for its patrons. No wonder the seats were Empty and only a couple in the corner .

Service was very good and pleasent. Food was honey as the decor. Surely will visit again

I love Cowan's because it is always great; great food, service, very clean and the pie is outstanding!

Our first time here on a recommendation. Fantastic! Service was great, food was plentiful and delicious. Definitely not.our last time here!

Seen they had pork steaks but when I got there was on menu but when I ordered told it was seasonal only in summer. Only reason I went.

Food was fresh and tasty! Waitress did an awesome job, it's obvious that customer service is important to Cowan's! Ohhhhh, and that pie!!! Amazing!

Mile high pie! What more can I say but awesome and friendly service too!!

Was in the area from out of town with my family. We stopped in and we're very surprised! Everything was very good. Country home cooking flavors. It was sort of pricey but still good. The pies weren't that fabulous. Would go again if in the area.

After finally being seated we got drinks and were promptly ignored by the entire staff. Watched them seat something like seven new tables without taking our order. Eventually we just gave up. Offered to pay for our drinks and left.

The service wasn't the best, food was good and oh the pies!

First time I've been there, Really GOOD food and service, will be BACK SOON

Delicious food very nice setting. Nice warm welcoming place.
Nice waitress

Best blueberry pancakes anywhere! Friendly staff, reasonable prices, good service. Nice drive from Fenton, well worth the time.

good food, great service, you gotta have the mile high pie !!!!!!

Sooooooo good! The fried corn nuggets are my favorite!! The whole meal was great, but you have to go for the mile high meringue!

Has went down hill since the owners change so many years back. Sad to see what use to be a gem turn into a place that the owners are only worried about making a buck.

Great sandwiches. Good covid precautions. Fabulous pie!
