Restaurant/ Basic Burger – Happy Cow
North East Family Farm Burger
A 7oz burger with lettuce, tomato, American cheese and pickles that includes a side (we chose the delicious seasonal pumpkin rice).
Burger Score:
5 pt out of 5 for the Overall
One bite and we were in heaven.
5 pt out of 5 for the Quality/originality
They use local, organic, and sustainable ingredients whenever possible and it easily comes through in the taste.
5 pt out of 5 for the Presentation
Every one of the meals they serve look like a work of art and their burger is no exception.
4 pt out of 5 for the Toppings
It was the absolutely incredible pickle that raised the fresh, but somewhat basic, toppings to a new level.
5 pt out of 5 for the Meat
If only all burgers were made from meat of this high quality.
4 pt out of 5 for the Bun
The bun was a bit average, but it held up wonderfully and added another level of texture.
3 pt out of 3 for the Temp
Beautifully cooked just as we ordered.
2 pt out of 2 for the IT factor
The ‘IT factor’ is difficult to describe, but you know it when you taste it… and this burger had IT!
Burger Total: 33 pt out of 35
For a basic burger, this was near flawless. We can only imagine that their ‘Burger Deluxe’ would be perfection.
5 pt out of 5 for the location.
This restaurant has it all! Beautiful decor, ample seating space, a large bar, incredibly friendly service, and a menu that ANYONE could find a list of items they’d love to eat.
5 pt out of 5 for value.
While you can find plenty of food for less, it won’t be of the same quality, taste as good, or have as much care and thought put into it. You easily get your money’s worth here.
2 pt out of 5 bonus points.
+1 While we like fries, curly fries, and the occasional onion rings, it’s nice to occasionally have other choices as a side. They have 9 options listed on the menu and often a seasonal item as it was with the incredible pumpkin rice we enjoyed.
+1 Their menu is vast, it all sounds amazing, and everyone will find something they love. Not only do they offer various dishes from all over the world featuring everything from comfort to exotic foods, but lengthy vegan and gluten free options as well.

NWBB burgers are the BEST! I like mine with Korean BBQ!!! YUMMM….
