Got a 3 meat plate for lunch. Good ribs, very good house made (I believe!) Texas hot links, sides were great too. Friendly staff, quick service.

We all had brisket and it was tasty, fresh, and wonderful. The sides were yummy as well - we tried the corn, okra, and beans. The cookies are amazing and fresh. The whole meal was very good and well worth it.

Terrific BBQ. I had the two meat plate with lean brisket and German sausage. Delicious. Also very much enjoyed the potato salad and BBQ brisket beans. I enjoyed the comfortable, clean dining room. The staff was friendly and helpful.

One of the 2013 Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joints, which vanished from the list in 2017 and did not reappear in 2021. This was our 93rd 'cue stop in the Lone Star state, and the 383rd nationwide. We found the 'cue here to be very good; indeed, we would rate it higher than what is on offer at over a dozen of the places on TMM's list. The menu here offers real strength from top to bottom. $46.02 purchased a brisket and jalapeno cheddar sausage sandwich with house made fries, a Bev's smokehouse salad top with sliced brisket, a second side of Texas street corn, and a banana pudding. The salad was huge, fresh, and topped with brisket that was well smoked, with terrific bark; it was moist and tender even at five in the afternoon. The sausage also proved top notch, with good snap and sharp flavor. Both the fries and the street corn were excellent, and the banana pudding was so good that we went back and got a second order to go. We call this “destination 'cue,” and we strongly recommend that our fellow 'cue fanatics give it a try.

What a great place! Atmosphere is perfect and that smoky BBQ smell just makes your mouth water the moment you walk in. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I came in for brisket but when I heard about the new Smokey Stuffed Burger I had to try it and it didn’t disappoint! Everything is fresh, made in house and delicious. Don’t pass this place up!

Great food and atmosphere, steeeeeep prices. "Sweet" style beans were not as good as expected, more spicy than anything. Sauce portions provided were very small. Highly recommend the banana cream pie

Sliced brisket has always been good ever time I ate there. Unfortunately, however, I love mac & cheese—especially with bbq. But Cousins mac & cheese has ALWAYS, since it first opened, been watery with absolutely no flavor. It’s horrible. Not because it tastes so bad; but, horrible because there’s no taste at all. Since cousins is riding around the corner. From my house, I used to ride my bike up there. When I got older, I complained. They acted like I was so crazy. So I wanted it so badly to go to Walmart deli and order a pound of their mac & cheese, and take it there and let them compare. Even let their customers compare. And I guarantee you ever get her in that place or choose the Walmart mac & cheese. And that’s sad. Coming from a barbecue grill. I’m sorry that I rambled on about a side dish. But mac & cheese is a stable with a barbecue brisket sandwich. In conclusion, the place is very clean to help is very nice and polite. The brisket is delicious. But the mac & cheese just throws everything off—in my very experienced opinion with Cousins. Like I’ve said, I’ve been there hundreds of time probably thousands. And they just need to do something about their mac & cheese. It’s THAT bad. And again, I don’t mean, rotten or taste bad; I just mean, there’s no taste at all to the mac & cheese no cheese flavor no flavor of any kind. If they just go down to Walmart by 20 to 30 pounds/day from the deli and serve it there. (Perhaps with their own little seasoning on it. Nothing serious just something like a little Tony Chachere’s Cajun seasoning I bet the macaroni and cheese sales would triple After people started tasting it.

Had a meeting with a group of people, concerning the missing trio from Fort Worth and decided the original Cousins location would be a great place to have it. There was about 16 of us and everyone enjoyed their bbq. It was a great meal and Cousins was conducive to having a productive meeting. This is the original Cousins location that I personally ate at since 1983, right after Boots opened the doors.

I was a bit disappointed. I’m not sure if ownership has changed but the taste of the food was just ok. It used to be well seasoned and what I had my last 2 visits was much less. I did the All you can meat for 2, with 2 drinks and 2 desserts at $77.00. The desserts tasted like they were left out and maybe absorbed the odor of the room they were in. Moist brisket was dry. And gnats were flying around the prepared food behind the counter and flying on your food at your table

Unfortunately, I visited the cousins at the airport Fort Worth and the greens was so watery no flavor you barely had any greens in the container! The coleslaw was extremely tart wasn’t very good at all. The best thing I had was the brisket.. the barbecue meat potato was really good but because it says 1 pound don’t think you can share it. It’s 1 pound including the fixings on top of it.. I thought it was a 1 pound potato, and then you add the fixings on top of it. The sliced brisket is the best thing on the menu. I would give the actual restaurant a chance .

So they have this BOGO (buy one get one) on certain days but if you don’t tip they’ll give you THE nastiest, most unappetizing GO they can find as a penalty. I guess they say if you don’t tip you won’t get a quality freebie haha Atmosphere is nice and usually clean even when busy. Staff is normally pleasant as well except for this one guy that cuts the meat. He’s a seemingly wicked and very cold individual. I don’t recommend if this evil one is there. I’ll have to grab his name one day and add it to this review. Decent barbecue by the way.

Tried for the first time it was not to my liking. The chicken was undercooked and very light completed and the brisket wasn’t tender. I could barely taste any smoke and seasoning. The customer service was great but bbq is just not to my liking here
