Cowgirl BBQ

Santa Fe


With its juicy barbecue, awesome margaritas, outside patio, billiard room and live music – and its exuberant celebration of the women who made the West – this restaurant-bar is a fun place for all ages; with an extensive kids menu and even a playground out back. Try the barbecue brisket, say in a quesadilla with red chile. Hours may vary seasonally.
