“ If you find yourself in NC on Topsail beach, you have to give this place a try. My husband and I had a great lunch here. The food was wonderful and fresh, and the service was topnotch! ”
“ Me and the wife originally went to Surf City to try another spot, but it was closed and we decided to give this place a try. It was close to where we were at and they had smash burgers lol. The atmosphere was nice and laid back. Multiple tvs. Not a football fan though so didn't watch to much. I prefer hockey or mma. Anyways the staff was friendly and took care of us. The smash burgers were AMAZING!!!! I got the one with bacon and mac and cheese and my wife got the bacon, peanut butter and jelly one. The frys were good and the corn casserole was good. We will definitely be back. My one and only complaint is the portion sizes. The burgers were kinda of small for the price and the sides ...although good....we're also small. I got home and ate more after lol. We will be back though bc the burgers were that good. I'd recommend this place for sure if you like good burgers, drinks and TV. ”
“ We visited Cowfin for the first time tonight and I can without a doubt say it will not be the last time. I think we found our new favorite restaurant. The smash burgers were the best we've had. My husband had the Mac Attack while I had the Smokehouse BBQ. Both burgers were phenomenal. My son ordered the kids cheeseburger which was a GREAT size! We also had the moo fries as a side, my son tried the onion rings, and we tried the Mac n cheese. It was outstanding. We were not disappointed in the slightest with anything. We look forward to our next meal at Cowfin. So happy to have something so delicious so close!! ”
“ It's incredibly beautiful inside right now for the holidays! The spinach dip was awesome and my salad looked just like the one I saw from their pictures YUM! Kids got a kick out of the decorations too. I'll be back soon. ”
“ We sat outside it was beautiful but no fan so it was sooo hot. Also should something for flies, if you are sitting outside they will eat your food faster than you can sip your water lol. Burger was okay, ”
“ I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to discover this gem! As a self-proclaimed smash burger aficionado, I give the classic burger my seal of approval Our server was a total gem. She had a easy going vibe, but was also sincere and super sweet to my baby! The cheese fries were so good I had to order two (diet, who?!), and the collard were perfect! The decor was super eclectic so if you decide to dine alone, you’ve got a lot to look at. I can’t wait to go back! TLDR; family friendly, get the burgers, get the moo fries, service was excellent. ”
“ Cool spot as you turn into Surf City. Carries a sports vibe. Good menu selection with reasonable prices. ”
“ Cowfin is a sports bar and restaurant just off the Topsail island in Surf City. Their menu is typical bar food with a large selection of smash burger hamburger, loaded mac and cheeses and other appetizers, sandwiches, and salads. We had mozzarella sticks, wings and bang bang mac and cheese and it was all phenomenal. Oh and Don't forget the Moo fries. All were phenomenal. The wings were a tad smokey and perfectly crispy. The fries were amazing with the grilled onion making an oddly tasty addition to cheese fries. The bang bang shrimp were good but could have used a little more sauce. Beer and vodka were on point too. Our server Megan gave great service. A great spot for lunch or dinner. ”
