The Cookhouse - New Milford

Came here with a large party of 12. Server was great, the food was excellent. They have some of the best briskets I've ever had. Delicious and can't wait to come back.

We walked in as a party of 7(4 adults 3 kids). The manager, a heavy set white guy, originally said they could only seat us if we were done by 4p, it was 2:30p when we arrived. Apparently he needed the table.We picked this restaurant because my wife has celiac disease, their website said the have GF options.As we are seated we notice the whole upstairs is empty, the restaurants lower level is only about 50% full.The waiter, young white guy w/ animal skull tattoo on his left forearm. Seemed like he could care-less about my wife 's dietary needs, asked if the Cobb salad has gluten-free dressing. He said, whatever it comes with ... The only GF menu is apparently online. The laminated menus show no specifics about gluten free options.Over all our party was not impressed. The food quality has gone down. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, it was mostly gristle. Another adult ordered the bbq flatbread, it was soggy, not crisp at all.Our food didn 't arrive till 4p, idk who was waiting for the table. There was no large party there other then us.Not happy overall.

A variety of bbq options. I had a brisket sandwich and it was delicious. The staff and ambience of the place was excellent. A must visit for bbq.

The food is really good. Ribs are delicious as well as the wings. Ordered meat pies which were yummy but disappointed that you only get two pies for the price and we had a party of 3..for the price we expected atleast 3 to 4 pies on the plate...Also the happy hour drink specials are only allowed in the bar area so when sitting literally 3 feet outside of the bar at a booth during happy hour, ordering a ton of food, You are still charged $8 for a drink that is $5 for people sitting right next to you..which i think is ridiculous, but whatever, I did ask and was refused the happy hour price. It 's not about the money, just more the principle. I just don 't like sitting at Hightop tables so I 'm charged more for the same item because of where I 'm sitting..

Heard a lot of good things about the place. Was a little disappointed with the food. Service good and place had great atmosphere. Will try again since rating are high. Won't do ribs again tho.
