    Loved this place for a quick bite before the hornets game. We had reservations and were sat immediately. Loved the vibes, it was a fun little spot. The service was amazing, all staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was GREAT! Loved the spiked banana pudding shake. It was only about a 5 minute walk to the spectrum center.

    We dine at Cowbell fairly regularly and really enjoy the food and ambience. The service has always been great. We had a business dinner yesterday and were very disturbed by the noise level coming from a table of 4 businessmen across the room. As the evening progressed (and their alcohol consumption increased), the noise level became so loud and obnoxious that we couldn't hear each other at our table across the room and decided to cut the evening short. I believe this disruption was noticed by the staff and feel that it should have been addressed with the table so the rest of the patrons could fully enjoy their dining experience.

    Chase is as incredible, super attentive! Food was amazing for the price, definitely going back for the chicken melt. It was loud, only because of the Tar Heels game - a lot of the crowd inside was going. 10/10. Great prices for downtown.
