Cowboy Butter

We just happened to stop in and so happy we did. We’ve been back three times in the month. The food is delicious. Never disappointed. Must try the Texas Twinkies and Cowboy Queso. The wait staff are lovely and you can tell they love being here. Can’t wait til they had live music and line dancing nights! Hint hint!

Amazing food!!! Everything is perfect everytime we come. Great brisket and burgers. Place is very cozy and not too loud so you can easily talk. Comfy booths and a very nice bar with a huge selection. Luke is a great server very friendly and attentive the restaurant is lucky to have him. Queso burger, thanksgiving gobbler sandwich, scallops were all FANTASTIC.

Great addition to New Milford. I go here often, and the 24-ounce ribeye was cooked to perfection. The Texas Twinkies are excellent. Everything we’ve had so far has been really good. The service has always been great, and everyone is very friendly. They also have a solid beer selection, including local breweries.

Food was delicious and what you want when thinking bbq!! But sad to say that the service missed the mark. We were seated at a table and waited over 10 minutes before even being brought menus and the time in between check-ins with the waitress seemed too delayed for them to be casually on the other side of the room behind the bar talking/checking their cellphones. Food was also slow to come out but we assumed it must be a smaller kitchen. We plan to come back with family members because the quality of the meals and apps were great but we certainly hope the service aspect improvements by the time we do return.

Super delicious BBQ brought to you by the masterminds of Hindsight BBQ!!! This place rocks and the whole experience is great. The star of course is the food, which is dynamite. Definitely recommend the BBQ Brisket plate, which melts in your mouth. The potato salad side was tasty, and the cornbread was out of this world (smothered in maple butter). Server was super nice too. Highly recommend!

Cowboy Butter is the kind of hidden gem you don’t stumble across often in Connecticut. From the moment we walked in, it felt like a true family-owned spot — warm, welcoming, and even the owner made sure to stop by our table to check in. That personal touch set the tone for the whole night. We started with the pumpkin pork burnt ends appetizer, which was outstanding. The pumpkin spice brought just the right balance of sweetness and tartness over the rich pork — easily one of the most unique and well-balanced starters I’ve had in a while. For entrées, she had the boneless braised short rib with garlic mashed potatoes, vegetables, and a herbed mushroom demi-glace topped with crispy onion straws. I went with the beef ribs and vegetables. Both dishes were cooked perfectly, generous in portion, and bursting with flavor. It’s been years since I’ve had beef ribs in Connecticut, and these were worth the wait — fall-off-the-bone tender and full of that hearty, comforting flavor you’d expect from a Nashville joint. We also tried their house cocktails. They were made well and enjoyable, though I will say the menu leans heavily toward lighter, fruitier drinks that feel geared more toward a feminine palate. I ordered the “Tombstone,” which was essentially a whiskey sour topped with sangria. It was good, but I couldn’t help but think they missed an opportunity — a smoked bourbon cocktail would have truly lived up to the name. Prices were a little on the higher side, but honestly, between the portion sizes, the quality of the food, and the genuine hospitality, it felt more than justified. The whole experience carried that same energy I’ve felt dining in Nashville — bold flavors, comfort food, and family-run charm — only this time in the heart of small-town Connecticut.

Excited to try this place. Staff was super friendly and professional. Drinks were very slow and on the sweeter side however in the bartender’s defense we were a large party and there was only one bartender for the restaurant. Food was hit with a few misses. Hits: brisket queso, dry rub wings, cowgirl cauliflower, bacon wrapped scallops. Misses: fried chicken, birkin salad

I had a fantastic time at Cowboy Butter BBQ! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and my bartender Ashley was absolutely on point, attentive, personable, and really made the experience special. The food was excellent too, flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. Looking forward to coming back and will definitely recommend this place to friends.

Amazed by Cowboy Butter! Excellent food and excellent service. I'm a somewhat picky local who enjoys down to earth atmospheres with great service and excellent food quality (hopefully but ok with food being just ok if the service is good). Pleasantly surprised to say the food is GREAT. Anytime I have eaten here the food and service were awesome. Highly recommend.

This is a fairly new establishment (3 months) and a welcome additional to the town. Very spacious with 2 large rooms. Nice menu, beautiful bar, a variety of beer, great service. Starters- fries fried in Beef tallow which is much healthier than seed oils. 4 diff dipping sauces Saddles on horseback which was 4 bacon wrapped scallops. Absolutely delicious and lemony buttery flavor served with mixed greens - also fabulous Cowgirl cauliflower - crispy and a little spicy but not overly Mac and cheese was good. A little thicker would have been better for me Salmon was delicious and cooked perfectly Brisket was amazing. I'd go back there in a second

Great food. Corn bread was the best I have had in years. Fries were amazing cooked in beef tallow. Don't miss this new gem!!!

Had this on my list of places to try and finally had a chance Saturday evening. Nice space utilizing both upstairs and downstairs. Cute, country theme with good music. Brisket queso was delicious. My short rib was huge and came with lots of accompaniments as well. While I didn't personally eat the wings, my husbands looked great and like they had a lot of meat on them. Service was friendly and turned things around quickly. On the pricier side but not outrageous for a nice meal out. I'd stop in again!

Went for a late lunch today. We shared Tallow fries as an appetizer. The three of us ordered the brisket cheesesteak sandwich- yum! We all loved it. We took home 3 doggie bags. The only criticism I would have is that for $24 each they should come with something- chips, potato salad or coleslaw. Service was great. We will return.

This place is incredible. The food is ridiculously delicious... the wait staff exceptional... the bartender super cool... and the fries.... Unreal. The only drawback is if you don't like tables close to others, it can be a bit tight upstairs. Downstairs is more roomy.

Well, first off...wow. A friend of mine showed me pictures of the food that got me excited and the food is better than the pictures. Everything hit the spot. But of everything we tried - top three was the brisket meat, the sweet cornbread Yes please, and the fried cauliflower. Cannot wait to go again. The service was - before I begin - backstory we haven't seen my friend Jenny in six years, so we had a lot to discuss. And would you believe we talked for almost three hours - and they never said a cross word. The service was kind friendly and very forgiving because they close at 9. We thought it was ten, and there we were just talking like the wait staff was gonna spend the night. And they were all so nice. The decor is spot on. Well done for providing a BBQ place that's delicious, beautiful and friendly.

The food was okay, the brisket needed sauce. The sauce provided on plate was okay, no sauces offered at the table. Expensive and small portions. No wet naps with the wings.

The food was amazing (lunch menu only)! We loved the texessee dry rub wings and the Mac & cheese! The brisket was really good as well. Not super salty (we don't mind because the bbq sauce & all the other food have a lot of salt) but it was falling apart and juicy, so A+ in my book! The Tex-mex esquites were the only thing that didn't measure up. It was too much sauce (decent flavor though) and not enough corn. The ratio wasn't right but we were so full from everything else it didn't discourage us much. For desert, we had the maple walnut brownie sundae...just yum! It was so rich and decadent. It was moist and sweet! Absolutely mouthwatering if you're a chocolate lover, I highly recommend. Service was amazing! Tom and Ashley were so friendly! The place itself was very clean--and not just visually, you could smell and feel the cleanliness (no stickiness (iykyk). My blue hills cider was just the right amount of sweetness--cider fans give it a try. Overall, 9.5/10. Check out Cowboy Butter and maybe we'll bump into each other.

Not impressed at all. Went there at Opening on a Sunday told to come back In a hour that they weren't ready yet ??? Food was cold no Mac and cheese. Won't survive in downtown new Milford. The Cue in Danbury far superior and worth the drive.

Worst burger I have ever had! It was compressed and hard, despite being pink inside. Not pleasant to chew. Considering how pricey the place is I would expect them to know how to make a great burger- but no.

Wanted it to be a better experience as we've heard great things. Food was bland. Small servings for high prices. The cocktail specials off of the menu were strange flavor combinations. Too sweet for some others the pairing was just off. Lots of staff but very little attention.Our waitress was polite. One staff member gave us a glare as he walked through the restaurant to socialize with his personal friends in the doorway and did not return my smile. Not a very warm reception. Felt like we were intruding the whole time.hate to discredit a place based on one experience but we won't be back any time soon.decor was great, left over from previous bussiness

Was expecting a better experience all around! The portions were very small for high prices & the quality was not great. The sides offered when ordering the combo were skimpy & lacked flavor. The staff was nice but did not go above & beyond, nor did they seem interested in any customer feedback. They actually made excuses for their small portions blaming it on the high prices they have to pay for the meat. I will not be returning for a second time nor would i recommend this restaurant to anyone. I dine out often & would have hoped for an equal or better replacement of The Cue & unfortunately, Cowboy Butter is not it!

The food was really good, let's start off with that. We shared tallow fries, which were really good and the portion was nice and big, then there was some mix up as to the availability of the OK Corral BBQ platter (which made us wonder how they could possibly not have all the "parts" of something that looks like their flagship dish), but eventually we got what we ordered. The platter was full of really nicely done meats, the sides (BBQ beans and a spin on Mexican street corn) were really tasty and the cornbread was the best I have ever had! That good, seriously. I had pork belly, super tender with lovely bark and seasoned to perfection. I wanted this to be a perfect place and it nearly was- short of a few things. The food came a bit cooler than we expected. The waiter, while really attentive and nice, was clearly struggling with what's available and what we ordered. He got confused when taking the beer order, even tho my husband went off his way to make the order as simple as possible after realizing the waiter didn't really know what was there. And the last note, we were there on a cold evening and the draft coming from the front door was really unwelcome. I don't know why someone designing the space didn't think of an entry alcove or at least a thick heavy curtain separating the diners from the people walking in. I thought of it the first time the door opened. We were expecting the atmosphere would be more relaxed, more "Texan", but it feels a bit "upscale Texan", for lack of a better word. All and all I hope this restaurant stays here for longer, because we were really impressed with the food, intend to be back with our foodie friends, and for someone who loves the western cuisine- this one is really a gem.

The food was amazing! The atmosphere is cozy. I rave about this place all the time to everyone. So excited we finally have a really good bbq place in town

Definitely going back for the Prime Rib weekend special. Great atmosphere & stellar service.

Kick Ass Barbecue with a nice cold coors! Great personable and attentive staff! The Karen who gave them a one star review was wrong and should seek help!
