Black Cow

Awesome experience here for Mother's day weekend! Great food, very accommodating with many gluten free options, and the service was very friendly. Would return here again to try a few more menu options!

Had lunch with friends while visiting the area. Lamb lollipops were a great unique appetizer! I would definitely recommend these. Also had the bacon and bleu salad w blackened salmon which was surprisingly well prepared and very tasty. All was phenomenal and the salad itself was the best I've had in quite a while. Solid choice!

Great restaurant with ample parking in downtown Newburyport waterfront. Spectacular views on shaded outdoor deck. Korean cauliflower was outstanding! Lobster ravioli was delicious with raviolis stuffed with lobster and all topped with more lobster. The cream sauce was so flavorful.
The salmon was nicely seasoned but the outer coating was a bit dense. Overall a great experience and highly recommend.

Best burger and wings ive ever had!
The amazing above and beyond service that our server (Mackenzie) provided, along with the great food and ambiance made for a restaurant experience that i wont forget!
The portions are Royal and the quality is honestly among the best ive come across in my life!

I would gladly come again! ♥

The food and drinks were pretty good. The walnut salad was great, and the burger was decent. The server was friendly and helpful. The price is in the higher end, but there are few options in town.

Went here for Mother’s Day and had a great time! We had a bigger group of 10 (including an infant), and it went smoother than any of us had anticipated. The food was very good and the service was great. We’re planning on going back soon!

I really liked this restaurant, located right in the beautiful center of Newburyport. It was bigger inside than I expected, has the second floor, it also offers open air sittings on the street level and on the second floor patio, all very spacious and comfortable. The food was just great! Everything we tried was very delicious! 👍 We tried brushetta, lamb lollipops, sushi, salmon with rice, short ribs, tacos, chicken with pasta. Children menu was great, too - burger with french fries was really good!

Special thank you to our amazing waitress Olivia!! She provided absolutely BEST service possible and made our evening even more special. Super professional and super nice, she served our group of 12 people effortlessly, while taking care of other tables and guests! The restaurant is really lucky to have her!

There is tons of parking in the center - a couple of large parking lots and in the garage across the street. Parking is $1 per hour.

I would absolutely be back! Highly recommended! 👍👍👏👏

I've been to the Black Cow several times now and always love it! The Lamb Lollipops and Crab Cakes are my favorite appetizers! For drinks, I'm a huge fan of the Long Island Ice Coffee and highly recommend it. The sushi is always delicious, fresh and presented beautifully! Definitely worth a trip, but I'd recommend reserving a table as it can get busy.

This beautiful little spot in Newburyport should be on your list. Its just outside of all the bussel of the shops and other restaurants. You have an option to sit on the deck or inside. The inside has a great ambience and our first impressions were good. We tried two apps, calamari and Thai Chilli wings. I can't say enough, both were delicious. We decided to try sushi after, a little expensive, but tasted great. We'll be back again.

A modern, hip, restaurant with delicious food! We had the Spinach & Beet salad and the "Cow Burger".

Portions were generous and flavors delicious. It was crisp, fresh and tasty with an abundance of beets, butternut squash and goat cheese. The buger was cooked to perfection and truely delicious -- however, my single criticism about the burger was that it was so tall it was nearly impossible to eat with any semblance of dignity. The French fries (something I typically shy away from) were outstanding. Crispy and thin outside with pillowy soft interior in a pleasant curved slab shape.

Our waitress was nice, not exceptional, but fine overall. The prices were quite high however for what you got.

The venue is somewhat dark, but the ambiance was great none the less. I would definitely go again, perhaps when it's warm.

Wonderful place to enjoy a meal!! Service was excellent. They didn't try to push us out the door. It was entirely enjoyable. The atmosphere was fantastic. Not noisy despite being filled. As for the food, wonderful! My wife and I had the Special, Artic Char with roasted Brussel sprouts and roasted potatoes. We highly recommend the Black Cow.

Great Food. Great Service. Cozy Restaurant. Everything was wonderful. I would recommend this place to anyone. And a special thanks to Server Abby for an amazing outstanding job. 10 stars 🌟 Shane

I truly recommend the black car. It’s a simple menu and the food is delicious! Of course The Black Cow is Downtown Newburyport so you have all of the views! And lastly, they make their drinks perfect!

Incredible location, incredible food. It's pricy, but worth it.

My wife's steak was phenomenal. I wasn't expecting sushi on the menu, and figured "why not". Ended up being some of the best sushi I've ever had, so I highly recommend that.

Very nice spot right in the heart of Newburyport, a few yards away from the water and the boardwalk. Service was impeccable. Food and drinks were great. The food is really fresh and tasty. Parking is $1 an hour or if you walk to Green street you can park for free for up to two hours(heavily enforced).

I sat at the bar for lunch. Had the salmon and it was perfect. I didn't need much but the bartender was also great also.

Such a great location, love the rooftop bar area. Service is excellent, food delicious and so many beer, wine, drink options. Their escargot is amazing! Great meatballs served with mozzarella, pesto, parmesan is a beautiful and very tasty dish. Their maple-walnut vinaigrette is one of the best salad dressings I've ever had!

Rainbow roll of sushi was beautifully presented and savory.
Enjoyed the wide variety of beer on tap!
Steak was delicious with creamy mashed potatoes and savory asparagus!

It's a great place to hang out. Atmosphere is great and the waitress...oops, sorry... the server was great. She started giving us a bad attitude, but once she understood our situation, her demeanor changed and actuality helped us out. The only negative I must mention... the prices are VERY high. This is not a steak house, like Peter Luger in New York or Ruth's Chris or the Old Homestead, etc. So when they ask an average price of $75 for one of their steaks... it's a bit excessive. I ordered a New York strip for my granddaughter. It was cooked as ordered but was average in taste. Still too expensive. I would still go to the Cow, as it is a nice place to hang out... but prices are too damn high.

Food was on point!!! Great location!!! I only wish they had a white wine sauce for the mussels. The crab cakes were the best I've ever had. It was a great birthday dinner.
