The Udder Cow was udderly stupendent. My wife whoom loves pizza burgers had the best she has ever tasted. My foot long hot dog was huge. Larger around than a quarter. Great taste, my fries were hand made and very tasty. We live 2 and a half hours away, but we will be back. Thanks Udder Cow.

The pork tenderloins are the best around. Burgers, wraps, appetizers all top notch. 10/10 recommend.

It had been a couple of years since I swung through Pocahontas and I was happy to see The Udder Cow is open again! I asked the young man what he liked for malts. His response was Raspberry and a customer piped in with Butterscotch. So we ordered two malts, one of each recommendation. And I'd have to say my daughter had her first swig of Butterscotch while I buckled my seatbelt. I had to steal my malt back! Burgers looked good. A hand breaded tenderloin was recommended by the same customer. Give this small business a try if you are on Hwy 4 North in Pokie! 2nd visit update..... Went back for the Butterscotch malt. Still on point. The surprise was the pork tenderloin and cheese curds. The tenderloin cut have been cut with a fork. These cheese curds were so creamy. Delicious!

Wow!!!! Best grilled cheese and fries I have ever had! This place has quick and super friendly service. Very peaceful neighborhood and out of this world ice cream! I had a cherry shake that can’t be beat by anyone else!

I have driven past this restaurant many times, but never had time to stop. I was recently in town for work and was able to stop for lunch. I ordered a small tenderloin sandwich and it was great. Unlike many tenderloins you get,this one actually has meat in it. The menu had a nice variety of items that you would expect in a small town diner type of place. Check it out if you are in the area.

This is a great place for ice cream and hamburgers, and they do have other items on the menu. The original Purple Cow restaurant used to be a block down from where the Udder Cow is now. But, the Udder Cow is keeping the history of this restaurant Purple Cow going. My husband used to go on Sundays with his family as a young boy. Absolutely love the history and good food. I will post some pictures later today.

Awesome Staff. Very clean. Awesome food. I will be back.

We stopped here on our way to Okoboji. Wow! The small pork tenderloin was amazing! Already planning on stopping on our way back home.
