Flaming Cow in Windsor and Maidenhead

Great quality food. Great smash burgers. From the US and highly recommend the burgers and that’s say something. Will be back when I return to the UK

We booked the table only to arrive to the site undergoing building works and consequently was closed. No advice that it was not operational. Booked through OpenTable so had to find somewhere else last minute for a birthday celebration.

Restaurant is shut down. Do not go as there is flaming cow

This restaurant is closed. We walked from our hotel in the rain only to find it was closed and being refurbished.

Booked a table for the kids and myself but turned up to find a building site! Looks like Flaming cow is no more… a little annoying it is still listed on OpenTable and still taking bookings!!!

Booked a table at this restaurant with my family only to find it had closed down! It was a Saturday night, so we really struggled to find an alternative restaurant at such short notice!

this app allowed me to book a table but the restaurant has actually shut down. So an hour roundtrip for a birthday meal that could never happen.

Although able to book on Open Table the only people in the Flaming Cow were builders. It is closed and is being refurbished! Why is a restaurant that is closed still taking bookings on Open Table?

Despite OpenTable allowing and taking reservations the restaurant has sadly closed.

Further to my wife's review and its rebuttal here is a picture of the food. You may draw your own conclusions whether the chicken tenders look appetising or burnt and dried out! Same for the macaroni cheese.

This was our second visit to The Flaming Cow. The first was a last minute booking whilst looking for a meal after a day of cricket at Eton College. It’s not a large restaurant but it is wonderful. The staff are very welcoming and pleased to everyone, booked or not. The decor is very quirky and amusing and the menu is fun too. Our favourite choice the The Brunch burger, I add sweet potato fries and my hubby has House fries. Everything is freshly cooked, piping hot and beautifully presented. The whole restaurant is very eco-conscious. Milkshake are served in what looks like metal cocktail shakers, which are better than paper or plastic containers and last better than glass ones. The food arrives in trays lined with paper and the fries come in enamel trays. I can’t wait to be able to try some of the Cowtails and Hardshakes. They sound fabulous! The staff are amazing, always smiling and jolly, regularly finding time to make the customers smile no matter how busy they are. It’s really popular with locals and delivery couriers constantly arriving to pick up collection orders. I wish I lived nearby.

I went with my family (two children and two adults) for lunch on Sunday. I have ordered takeaway before so I was looking forward to it. We were put in quite a dark corner and service at first was okay. When the food came, the problems started. One of my daughters had ordered a burger without cheese and it arrived with cheese so that had to go back and she was left waiting for a replacement. She also ordered coleslaw and what came was inedible - there was no mayo and it looked like carrot swimming in vinegar. My husband queried with server what it was and if coleslaw but server disinterested. Next my second daughter's food came, which was macaroni cheese and chicken tenders. They were both completely burnt (mostly black) and dry. At this point, my husband decided to go and talk to the manager. who was not interested in the burnt food or replacing or offering any recompense for inedible food. What disappointing service and disinterested staff. We will save our money (around £75!) for somewhere which has food that can be eaten and better customer service.

Lovely when we first arrived, food came quickly. Burgers were dry, bun was slightly hard. Service then went down. We didn't get asked for any additional drinks or desserts and we had to ask for the bill as none of the staff were paying attention. When we got the bill we divided and paid separate, we were then told we had to pay the "optional" service charge on the bill. The waiter wouldn't leave until we paid it. As we weren't happy with the service we didn't want to pay but were forced.

We are regulars and love it here, and enjoyed our meal so much this evening that we felt compelled to write a review! Great food, especially the sides of cheese fries with baconaise. I went for the pistachio milkshake, which was good but a little odd, and my wife has a delicious double beef burger. The pecan pie to finish was also great! Service was fantastic as usual, we'll be back.

Lovely restaurant, delicious food and wonderful attentive staff. Will definitely be returning

The food as always top notch - I’d argue it’s fair to say that the best chicken wings are at Flaming Cow. The service was a little slow upon ordering food but otherwise kind service. The toilets are definitely in need of some tlc. It’s dirty in there and not well maintained. Please do sort it out as detracts from the overall experience.

Great food at a great price, all served quickly with a smile

Went to the Flaming Cow for lunch on a Friday; it seemed a bit quiet. Service was fine with stuff coming up on time. Drinks turned up quickly though their wine menu looks very small. Anne had half a rack of ribs and it was very good and large enough; her cheesy chips were only average. I had the £10 deal which was a nice surprise given prices these days. My burger was v good and salad also good.. Just over £40 with 10% tip. Will go again.

Went for dinner for my husbands birthday with the teens. 2nd time we’ve visited and food was as good as it was on our previous visit. Service is a bit slow which is annoying when there was no one else in the place when we ordered, but we’re never in a rush anyway so not always an issue. Place is clean, I’m told the burgers were lovely - I had the wings which were also very nice. Would go again!

Took the kids on the Easter weekend for a bite. Burnt burgers, yucky milkshakes, tables not clean, and expensive. Not sure how they get this high rating.

Awful. Literally the worst food we’ve eaten in I don’t know how long. chicken tenders were bland, dry and the chicken burger even tasted stale ! Coleslaw was too sweet ?! Why! And the burgers were so gritty and full of small pieces of hard tendon? Gross . Never again

The last time I ate in this building was over 25 years ago when the restaurant was Montmerencies. It was excellent so I decided to give the Flaming Cow a try. The menu options were very limited. My wife selected the half rack and wings combo and i went for a burger. The burger did not come with French fries but my wife’s choice did. As she is not a great lover of fries I didn’t order an extra portion to accompany my burger but did ask for a side of onion rings. Despite there being 3 types of ale on the menu the only one available was a 330 ml can of Camden Pale Ale at 6 pounds. I didn’t realise the price when ordering or I would have made do with water. My wife went for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. There were only two wines available, the SB and a Malbec. The wine appeared to have been subjected to a reverse miracle, having been turned from wine into water. It was so weak that I am surprised it was allowed out without an accompanying nurse. The waitress returned to advise me that they were out of onion rings so did I want another side instead. I would have had a salad except the only one on the menu was a full main course chicken salad. I declined. When the food arrived my burger was ok but nothing special. The ribs on my wife’s meal were excellent, tasty and with the meat falling off the bones. The same could not be said of the wings. I know people have differing palates but I never thought that wings could be made inedible for me. The taste was of a concoction of chemicals that were never meant to be in the vicinity of food. We left and retired to the George, opposite, where I was able to enjoy a couple of pints of Guardsman at “only” 5 pounds a pint. This was my first and last visit to the Flaming Cow.

Burgers are good everything else was bland. We ordered pizza fry’s, chicken tenders, ribs and mixed wings and all tasted like they had been pulled out the freezer and chucked in a fryer. Tasted of nothing and just very average. Service Was fairly non existent which is amazing for a tiny restaurant.

Good tasty burgers without being greasy, lots of topping choices, attentive service, epic milkshakes. Nice to find an independent gem like this.

Tasty food and great service. Nice ambience inside.

Great food as ever, and followed up by one of their excellent hard shakes!

Nice burgers, pretty quiet when we visited so service was fast. The food didn't blow me away but it was good!

The best burgers EVER! The burgers are thick & tasty, cooked just the way the chef thinks is best. And he is right. My husband likes his medium rare & whined when told the choices were medium & medium well. He loved his burger.

We eat at the Flaming Cow regularly and always have a fantastic meal. The service is always polite and quick. Fantastic beef burgers and great veggie burgers (according to my wife). The only gripe..... bring back the frickles!

Quirky little place, staff are amazing and attentive.

Despite the nostalgic appeal, the recent dining experience fell short due to a noticeable decline in food quality. Additionally, the presence of flies added an unwelcome aspect to the atmosphere. Here's to hoping for improvements on both fronts.

Food fine but monstrously overpriced - £20 for a burger plus fries and £6+ for a milkshake - bonkers.

Food choices as expected. Interior like a low key American diner. Food costs as expected. Beer prices off the scale. A larger at the equivalent of £11 a pint. Please wake up and "smell the coffee" that is ridiculously expensive. We won't be returning.

Food was amazing and was in the table within minutes. Service was really good aswell. I 100% recommend and will definitely be back.

Extremely overpriced for the quality of the food. The restaurant is very unclean also, dirty floors and toilets. It feels like it needs a good clean and an inspection! Service slow also and the restaurant was also freezing cold.

We love this restaurant. If what you want is high satisfying but definitely naughty food. This is your place. I’m all about the ribs n wings combo, and my partner loves the dirty burger. Every time we go there we leave feeling full and happy.

Been many times love it as I need gf so good for Me. Took people who had never been they loved it

The service was quick and the people were very nice. Music was on the louder side and food didn't blow me away but was good.

food and service very good as it always is but need to fix the heating lik eating outdoors on a cold night

Went there for a birthday meal with my family and everything was fantastic. Thank you for looking after us so well. The service was incredible and the food outstanding. We had the best time, thanks!

Really good meal. The burgers were great, the kids chicken tenders lovely and the chicken wings delightful. The service was outstanding, proper good guys there. The prices were pretty good too considering the location. Will make sure to return again in the future

Amazing food! The portion sizes were generous and the food was so good. It’s very rare to find a burger place that has both halal and gluten free options so it was really appreciated. Will definitely be coming back.

Overpriced for what we had, even though it was tasty food.

Really nice burgers, fries and wings. Some questionable drinks such as the drunk squirrel, but it's is a 4/5 place overall.

The burgers were absolutely delicious, great views, also very good value! Yum!

Always amazing to be here. Special thanks to Rose. Very good recommendation given by her. Highly recommended. Will be back with my friends.

Good quality food in a nice setting. Staff polite and very efficient.

Very limited kids menu. Disengaged service. Food OK.

Restaurante en una ubicación excepcional. Comida muy buena y el servicio fantástico.

Food was average, but the service was shocking. Took over 25 minutes to bring the food out to us, when the food came the server bought it to the table next to us, also incorrect order as we had asked for items to be removed. Food also didn't come out in one go, we had to ask for the rest of our order to be bought to us.

Went here after finding it on Maps. So glad we did. Fantastic food, great service and awesome thickshakes. Highly recommend.

Do yourself a favour and dine elsewhere! Nothing positive to say

Thank you fantastic food and great service Would recommend We had a lovely family meal

This spot is a quick walk from Windsor Castle, and extremely convenient for my family, as we were in town for the tour. Made reservations in advance, though on this Friday lunch in August, we wouldn’t have had trouble finding a table without. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, were incredibly helpful with making sure my gluten allergy was accommodated and that my son was well taken care of. The burger was delicious, fries extra crispy, and chicken fingers (my son tells me) were quite good. We would definitely recommend to anyone in the area for a tasty meal and excellent service!

Had a table booked at 7.45pm for 3 people on a Friday eve. Took half an hour to get drinks and waited for food for over 40mins, whilst I appreciate it’s not fast food it did seem excessive and no explanation or communication on the delay. At 8.30pm we were told it was last orders for drinks - I did say we have no idea as we haven’t hd any food yet. When the food arrived it was tasty. Just the experience ruined by the wait and lack of communication. The staff were pleasant when they did interact but it seemed like there was no skill in the management of bookings/ordering in order to space the orders for kitchen etc.

Wing wednesday is an absolute blast, great value for money and tasty BBQ chicken wings are a recipe for success

A great restaurant serving burgers, ribs etc. We visited with two adults and three kids ranging from 4 to 12 years old. All kids enjoyed the food. The kids menu portion size was perhaps a little too large for our youngest, but was perfect for the older two. The adults had burgers, chips, a side of ribs, all very good. A good selection of drinks. Location was ideal, in the town centre and a short walk from the car park across the river. Staff were friendly and helpful, they even sang happy birthday to our youngest and gave him a brownie with a candle. Value was good, we got a discounts for having visited Legoland that day. We visited on a Sunday evening in the school summer holidays. We'd booked, but it was pretty quiet anyway so could have walked in. I would recommend this restaurant.

Made our booking for our sons birthday, on arrival the restaurant was empty and we were told to sit anywhere, I said we have a booking for a birthday, don’t know why but I thought there might be something done with the table seeing that the website promotes birthdays. We sat and ordered, the food arrived after 30 minutes and was wrong, I told the waiter and he didn’t seem to care but having just driven 2 hours we were all hungry so ate it. The food was ok but feel the whole experience could have been better. This was our second visit but definitely our last as was not impressed this time.

I have eaten here a few times over the last couple of years, always great food and service.

Thank you Tarik and team. It was a fun night with great food! The location is lovely. (The boys miss the hotdogs but really enjoyed the menu!) The chicken wings are so more-ish (honey bbq are my favorite).

Very quiet on a busy Saturday in Windsor, service was quick and food was lovely. Very good value for money. Drinks, sides and mains for £20 each.

We were the only guests! The burgers were delicious and the service very attentive! However, still managed to give me gherkins even though had asked for none. Waiter was very conscious of other allergens though.

Really quick service and good quality food, easy menu and good value for money

We booked last minute table after LEGO land visit. Food and service was very good and to top all that we got 10% discount as we were visiting LEGO land on the day. Thank you x

Chicken Parmy burger was great, but the wing and rib combo was AMAZING!

Food was outstanding, burgers was cooked to perfection, our waiter was friendly and attentive. The location itself is great but doesn't offer much of a vibe/ or a view. The toilets weren't in great condition but they were clean, but the hand dryer was out of order. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food, and my husband really enjoyed the Wing Wednesday special for £17! I recommend the pistachio milkshake! Overall great experience!

Food and atmosphere was excellent, servers were very polite and accommodating throughout. Only slight negative I could say was having to wait to catch a servers attention for extra drinks / the bill. But that was overshadowed by their speed and politeness

We just love eating at this restaurant and so happy that it’s open everyday again. We have always had the best service, and of course the best burgers in town.

The place to go for burgers!! I’m a vegetarian and they do the BEST burger for a non meat eater!!

We were welcomed on arrival and seated near the air con (it was a really hot day). The food was served quite quickly and was very freshly cooked and well presented. It was delicious and exactly what we had ordered. The meal was great value and we would definitely recommend The Flaming Cow.

Always good. Always fresh. Always yummy! Been there 3 times in 2 weeks!

was a little disappointed with my visit. The food was OK, but not as good as I was hoping. The milkshakes went down well. Food was served on a flimsy plastic tray which gave the place the feel of a takeaway joint. The music was unnecessarily loud - and no, I'm not that old, meaning that people were almost having to shout across tables to each other to be heard.

Bloody amazing best burger in Windsor makes Gordon Ramsey look like and taste like Mac Donalds, great staff great place to eat 2nd visit this week may well make it a 3rd this weekend Ten stars **********

Great food, really good value. Highly recommended

Excellent burgers. Rustic, no fuss setting. Speedy and pleasant service.

Not the best experience. Food was tasty, although cold chips. Music was way too loud, you couldn't hear the person next to you at all. I asked if they could turn it down a little but told "no". Not a place for Kids. Waitress with the nose stud was rude. Won't visit again unfortunately

First time visiting and will definitely be going back. The service was a bit slow to start, but as soon as they realised they were on form and I couldn’t fault them. Wing Wednesdays is 100% worth the money. My partner well and truly made the most of it and enjoyed every bite. The burger I had was delicious and cooked perfectly. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Went for the sons 13th birthday. Great service and amazing food thanks

I had the standard burger and a side of wings. The burger was nice. The wings were okay, probably not quite crispy enough. Generally met expectations though.

Loved this place ! Came with my friends after we went to Windsor Palace and it was amazing . I got the drunk squires milkshake with bbq wings and they were BOMB. Good food and music , our server Tamoore was excellent as well!

Love it here been so many times always yummy food

Haven’t been to the Flaming Cow for a couple of years and pleased that it’s still up to a high standard. Both enjoyed our meals, staff are friendly and we didn’t have to wait long for our food

An outstanding experience at the Flaming Cow last night, was so impressed with both service and food. Tamoor and our waitress looked after us beautifully, great great service and excellent food. My first time visiting and I will be back again and will recommend far and wide.

Great food and good service. Dining maybe a little cramped with tables quite close to each other and the music, whilst an excellent mix of tunes was a little loud. That said great burgers and friendly staff so will definitely visit again.

Good food good service at a fair price Maybe a slightly larger choice of dessert would be nice

Staff less than attentive; always seemed in a hurry to just dump drinks and food on the table to rush back to have a chat with each other. Only 5 tables in (including us) 3 other tables arrived after us yet our meals served after them. No urgency or interest taken to customer service.

Best burger place in Windsor! Super chilled, relaxed setting and amazing bbq chicken wings 🤤. Just wish they’d bring back the bigger basket of fries like when they opened!🍗🍔

So disappointing. We have been here before and loved it but this visit was awful. Slow service, misheard orders, cold food, chips tasted of fish and not especially helpful staff when we complained while paying the bill. Won’t be returning sadly.

Absolutely excellent food and high-quality service. Superb range of food and was served quickly. Our group was so impressed that we have all said that we will return on our next trip to Windsor. Location is perfect and easy to find. Staff were all very friendly. The food was brilliant - best burgers and ribs for miles around. Brilliant experience. Well done Flaming Cow.

Really enjoyed the food, burgers looked and tasted amazing. Also had onion rings and sweet potato fries which were a decent portion to accompany the burger. Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Great venue for quick food. Milkshakes are ridiculously good. My only slight complaint is the opening hours. We booked a table for 8.30, and they shut at 9, so whilst we were accommodated, everything felt very rushed. That said, I should have checked the closing time before booking - so the complaint is not really with the venue itself. All in all, great value for freshly cooked food.

I was violently sick upon returning home. Their bacon and beef were not right, and were immediately rejected by my body. I will not be returning at all

Food wasn’t nice at all, everything was bland and overpriced & over cooked

Buffalo Wings and burger outstanding!!! Kids love the burgers, best in town!

Beautiful burgers and delicious Milkshakes very nice food and service was great 👍🏻 we’ll be back

Very good food and the manager in Windsor branch made sure we our daughter had a great meal and an amazing milkshake for her birthday.

Mother’s day experience was not as expected. 2 out of 3 burgers ordered were cold! Waiting time 45min- only two other tabes were occupied. Soggy bottom buns - had to use knife and fork to eat a burger! Staff not attentive at all. Overall- we...

Great food for adults and children. Good service and location.

Started off good and went down hill. Such a shame just wasn’t our evening. Starters were good. Onion rings and honey chicken wings. However the mains (burgers) came cold! And then took for ever to get replacements and all came at different times. Our son ordered his with no sauce but sadly this wasn’t achieved. sadly I think most of the service goes to deliveroo and Uber drivers and those in the restaurant suffer.
