Reviews For Derby Cow Palace

My son had the CP sampler as his dinner, well because he's a 13 year old boy. I ordered the amazing seafood casserole. Oh my goodness! This was a great dish and had so much flavor. From the Newburg sauce on top to the sweet stuffing on the bottom, I will most definitely get this again. Service was great and they came and offered refills which lately it seems like some places are too busy to do. Overall great food and great service. We also went over to the elk afterwards and gave them a good pet. PS, they like apples.

The Cow Palace is a true gem at Derby (Derby Line). Ordered a menu special of panko encrusted scallops with french fries. The meal hit the spot! The portions are very generous, prices are very reasonable, and the service was fantastic. You will be treated like a local and a member of the family. Don't zip across the US/Canada border without stopping at Cow Palace.

This place was a gem to stumble on too. Watched Buffalo grazing before I went in to have a buffalo burger. Talk about fresh.

OMG, they had real elk. They were so cute. I had the bison burger, which was delicious, and the elk medallions tasted similar to venison. My waitress / bar tender was super nice, and I even got a pic with a Polar Bear. This was a fun stop for dinner after fall pics at Lake Willoughby. Highly recommend.

Food and service were very good. This is a unique restaurant. Did not see the elk that are usually in the fenced pasture since it was very cold and windy. If you enjoy taxidermy you will find this place enjoyable.

7.30.23 We came to feed the elk and then eat some elk. It was great to see the fenced elk and they came over to munch on the grass, feed. The parking area was big, we got seated right away. We ordered the elk medallions and sample platter which had wings, nachos, etc and it was huge. We thought prices were great for the quantity of food. Our waitress was awesome and she even did separate bills for our party of 5. Great experience by all.
