Cock’s and Cows

I had sky high expectations for this one. Being on the top 10 list of burgers to try in Europe, I expected a real treat. Hunting for the perfect gluten free burger takes you to a lot of places with excellent burgers. This time it was time to check out the restaurant in St. Pedersstræde.
Cock’s and cows in St. Pedersstræde is OK, but not the best. We arrived here a thursday night, and the place was packed with burger eating guests. The waiter asked me if we had a reservation, which we didn’t. He made a «well, you really should have had one» kind of face and went to talk with some other staff members. I got the feeling that he was hoping we would go away and find somewhere else to eat. Two long minutes later he came back and said we could sit by a table right by the door. I asked him if it was possible to rather sit somewhere with proper chairs instead of barstools, and got placed on a tiny table stuck in between two others. The margin in between each table was maybe 8 inches. Waaaaay to close. Even though we were just two people dining out, it felt like we were a party of eight. At one point it actually became rather awkward, when a guest spilled her drink on the guest sitting next to her. Poor girl. And they were clearly on a date too.
When our waiter arrived, she insisted on speaking english with us, even though we answered in norwegian/​danish. Like that isn’t good enough? I’m not sure I like places where they do this thing. The waiter herself was clearly danish judging by her accent. Awkward?
The food was all right. At first bite, the meat felt tender and juicy, with just the right amount of salt. After eating through half the meal however, I noticed they had went overboard with the ketchup. My opinion when it comes to burgers and sauce is that you always should have a special (and hopefully secret) burger sauce that makes ketchup and mustard unnecessary. This one had just ketchup and mustard. Luckily there was enough salat, tomatoes and onion to make it all right. The gluten free bread was also good enough. Could have been a lot better though.
I have to give them only 2 stars because of their lousy service. If the burger was better, I would have given 3 in stead.
Based on other burgers I’ve tasted and the service, I don’t think I will eat at Cock’s and Cows in a while.

Had high hopes for this Place as it very good Reviews but it was very dissapointing.
The meat on the burger was «probably» decent but it was hard to tell as the burger was drenched in ketchup (without the menu saying so). Honestly there was not much other flavors i could find (accept ketchup) though i found the lettuce a bit bitter and not suitable on a burger.
The burger bun was bit dry so this was not one of the best Burgers iva had.
Will some Reviews saying «Best in Copenhagen» it leaves me wondering if the Copenhagen burger scene i a few steps down from what im used to in Sweden…

we travel in copenhagen for 10days! this is the best burgars i have ate!!!’ really amazing! fries ans burgars are so good! cannot eat at other place! highly recommend!!!

Great atmosphere and good selection of burgers and beverages. Trendy place and is stylish feel and prize of food is good.

It’s an OK place for eating.
Dinning area was fine and the services was good. The menu has a satisfying range of options, but nothing special if you don’t have a big budget!
Both of us had burgers, which were HUGE, but the sides had do be ordered and paid separately, making it quite expensive.
What impressed me was that they sell tap water for 10kr! I understand is you wont drink anything else… but dudes, give bottle water instead.

Price is okay. Except Burgers, BBQ ribs, twister fries and steak salad are my favorite!
