Butter — Restaurant in Barrett Township

We got eloped in the Poconos this past Saturday and chose Butter to have our celebration dinner just the two of us. My wife and I absolutely loved it. It is in our top favorite food experiences we have ever had.

The environment- Very romantic lighting and atmosphere with a lovely warm fire place.

The servers- Extremely friendly and wonderful. We were treated to Champaign on the house to celebrate our marriage, and offered lots of photos! The owner HERSELF served us, which added a lovely touch.

The food- This place is an absolute gem and on our top 3-list of favorite restaurants ever-- and we have been to expensive gourmet places in cities like NYC before. I was shocked at the prices for the quality. My wife had the shrimp and grits while I had the special of the day-- Crab and potato crusted cod (photo attached to this review). Both were incredible in flavor. My cod had a perfect crunchy crust with tender cod, the flavors complimented by the cream underneath. I was incredibly shocked at the $35 price tag, it truly tasted like a $100+ dish. The chef is incredibly talented, and I am so glad he is sharing this gift to others so affordably.

Allergies- Our server/the owner is the mom to the chef, and used to have celiac. I have a gluten intolerance. They assured me most anything could be done gluten free. The naturally gluten free items were marked on the menu, but I am sure if I wanted something not naturally gluten free, they would have accommodated. They were extremely knowledgeable on the fact and very reassuring. I had no reactions.

We are planning on coming back, at the very least, for our anniversary, but would love to come back even more often. We could not have asked for a better dinner after our marriage. It is rare for food to be so memorable to me, but this is an experience I will...

Where do I begin? The hospitality or the food? You are greeted by Ruth a bubbly graceful host that might as well be opening her home to you with her wonderful warm welcomes. We then ordered the Foie Gras slider (which was buttery smooth and topped with fresh mushrooms and micro greens made it a decadent and savory dish), and the Arrabiata pasta which tasted like my Italian grandma rolled herself came topped with a perfect fluffy dusting of cheese. Not to mention the delicious warm bread they served to start with which we needed second helpings of to wipe the pasta sauce up with. For our main course we ordered the special, the duck. It was perfection. The duck breast had crispy skin, succulent center and served with sweet delights (plums I believe on puréed sweet potatoes). Then dessert. In other words, heavenly spring fresh strawberries with nutty pralines on cloud like puff pastries. It was divine. We lapped up each entire dish to leave not so much as a crumb behind. After licking our plates clean Marc the chef appeared, appreciated us for dining with them when it was really us that were so full of joy from his cooking! Incredible talent and the company is truly memorable and obviously the meal! We have already told all our friends and family and we will DEFINITELY be coming back to try the rest...

Amazing meal for my husband’s birthday from start to finish! Definitely a new favorite spot if we are in the Poconos. Starting from even the seasoned bread was delicious! I got the Butter Burger which was the best mushroom burger I think I’ve ever eaten and the fries were perfectly crispy and soft. Probably the best cooked fries I have ever tasted. Not one soggy fry. My husband got the pork chops which had a delicious glaze. Then we finished it off with the chocolate torte topped with homemade coffee ice cream which was not too sweet and you could tell that ice cream was special. Loved every part of the meal and our server was delightful!

Later edit: I literally think about what weekend I can drive out again to Butter just to eat here again. This is probably one of my top favorite restaurants in PA. It’s honestly that special. I dream of...
