Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Justin Moline
I just had a fantastic lunch at The R.O.W. in Bowling Green, and while the food was really solid, what made the whole experience memorable was the incredible service.
We started with the Chips & Queso (creamy and perfect with fresh chips), the Chico Chicken Tacos (tender chicken, crisp lettuce, and that addictive creamy sauce), and a BYO Basket where I built a double cheeseburger loaded with a huge onion ring, melty cheese, and BBQ sauce—served with those crispy, well-seasoned sidewider frys. We also got the bone-in wings with extra Western BBQ sauce, some loaded nachos, and refreshing drinks like the Berry Basil Mule and Tequila Sunrise. Everything was tasty and hit the spot for casual bar food.
But honestly, our server Julia stole the show. She was absolutely amazing—so friendly, warm, and genuinely attentive to every detail. She made us feel completely welcome and taken care of from the moment we sat down. Her positive energy and excellent service are exactly the kind that make you want to come back again and again. Places like this thrive because of people like her!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Ethan Holland
One thing I have to state is that I'm an EXTREMELY picky eater. I want everything to be specific, and things to be made a certain way. We were able to order drinks right away because a bartender came to our table which surprised me. Due to being moderately busy I was expecting an elongated wait. Instead our food was given to us rather quickly. NOT ONLY had I ordered my original burger with a fried egg, even though no other sandwhich had fried eggs on them, they still were able to do that but also the fried egg at my request had no rawness of the egg whites still like most places do even when I request for the white to be fully cooked. The burger itself did have some grease but not to the point where I had to wipe any off because of it being too much. They also had a colorful pick of different drinks. I would consider this a bar, for where couples without kids go to eat and drink. Not necessarily that it isn't kid friendly, but more of the fact that the drinks are so good even I had a hard time of saying no to another one.

We stopped in and despite there only being one bartender on, we still got our food pretty quickly. Food was great - big portions and hot.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Michelle Fuhr
We stopped here on a whim to kill some time. The bartender was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly and gave great suggestions. I had a lemon drop martini it was delicious. We had some appetizer dip and it was also great. I definitely recommend this place and will be back!!!
