It's easy to spot along charming Fairfield Avenue in the heart of town; just look for the cool cow sporting some sunglasses. The cool factor continues inside and on the delicious menu, where you'll find something for everyone.
The interior of this unique restaurant near Cincinnati is fresh, modern, and has a great, laid back atmosphere.

It's casual enough for a family meal or after work happy hour, but special enough to bring out of town guests or to celebrate with a meal and a drink here.
The restaurant is best known for its fresh, local menu that uses organic ingredients whenever possible and offers options for those with a Vegan or vegetarian diet.

Burgers and sandwiches are a great place to start with this mouthwatering menu and they have a variety to please any cravings. And a unique option is that all burgers and sandwiches come with a side of your choosing. Pick from hand-cut fries, a side salad, sauteed kale, kale slaw, the vegetable of the day, or sweet potato chips. The Elusive Cow lets you indulge if you want, but also has healthy and delicious options.
