Cousin's BBQ

Cousins is always our first stop when we visit family and friends in Fort Worth. The BBQ is delicious and the sides and cobbler are great. We all think they should switch back to the old (and far better) potato salad recipe. We wish they'd bring back the cherry cobbler--I'd pay double. We recently visited with someone in a wheelchair and the restaurant isn't as accessible since the remodel. Outside the handicapped spots aren't near the door, but are on the side of the building and downhill across uneven asphalt. We've had a low speed rollaway granny once or twice. She's usually had enough margaritas for it it be a bit of a thrill.

Our experience at Cousins was marked by hits and misses which is why it only rates a 3. My wife and I shared a three meat platter with brisket, ribs and sausage. The two sides we chose were street corn and collards.The hits were the sausage and street corn. The sausage was delicious. It has a nice spiciness and was cooked with a little crispness to the outside. The street corn was full of rich flavors and was very enjoyable.On the other end of the dining spectrum the brisket was dry which in my book is a cardinal sin of any bbq restaurant. The fattiness should always counter balance any dryness. The ribs were basically all fat so they were the opposite problem from the brisket. The collards were extremely soupy. They were swimming.Overall, even with a couple of highlights this was a disappointing bbq meal.

Love the sign out side before you walk in! The restaurant was busy but clean. The service was nice and very friendly. The food was really tasty, we got fried okra ( the best so far) street corn ( had a nice spicy kick to it) the brisket ( loved the smoke on it) ribs were cooked nicely and the banana pudding was out of this world good and the peach cobbler was amazing( a little hint.... Ask for a scoop of ice cream on top of it(it's not on the menu BUT they do have it!! The beer on top was so cold ( served in a chilled mug) highly recommend coming in for a bit to eat here!! We'll be back soon

I've lived in Fort Worth for 30+ years now and I've been coming to THIS cousins for the entire time. Even through the remodel when they had the to-go only. I associate this place with lunches with my father, my sergeant major from the army, my sons. I loved the old school cousins and the new NEO BBQ concept doesn't disappoint. I have loved everything I've gotten. Beers specials are great and the service is uncompromised. 20 year familiar faces STILL recognize you coming through the doors the place holds it's warm bbq wood everywhere finish but has opened up to a cool clean restaurant with wall fixtures and things to look around at. Love Cousins, and unless they make a drastic change for the worse I will forever like local Cousins. This one on Bryant Irvin is top tier.

We spent my grown son's birthday there this Saturday. We enjoyed the bar side table seating and were served by the bar tender (Mike maybe). He was a young hipster type and was SO attentive! He definitely took care of us. I ordered the ribs, which were delicious! The okra was good enough and the potato salad was the mayonnaise based. It was good enough, but to be fair, my preference is mustard. The restrooms and tables were clean. Overall , we had a great experience and will definitely be back!

Above average Texas BBQ, offers an "all you can meat" option for unlimited food. We werent in the market for this so went for a 1 meat plate for her and a brisket sandwich for me. The brisket sandwich comes with one side for $12 and that was reasonable. The "cousins plate" on the kids menu is a slightly downsized 1 meat tray with 2 sides, perfect for most female appetites. Typical of these places they don't offer table service, but do bring out the food you ordered.clean enough, comfortable enough. Above average.

Cousins BBQ, excellent!!!!!!Super fast service. Very clean restaurant The smoked Brisket, either in a sandwich or a Meat Plate are worth the drive.The sides are also very good, wide variety This place perfectly for kids

Stopped into Cousin's BBQ after an appointment. This is the first time visiting this establishment and I enjoyed my sandwich very much. For being a newbie at a Cousin's BBQ, the ordering can be a little overwhelming, but the young lady at the counter was extremely helpful! I ordered the sliced brisket - lean and it was delicious. Mouthwatering - tender and cooked to perfection. My side was the bacon potato salad and I'm sorry to say - it wasn't my cup of tea. Oh well, but I'm very picky with my potato salads . I grabbed a slice of strawberry cake for dessert and I'll sum it up in one word ... YUM. If you haven't tried Cousin's BBQ - I recommend you give it a shot.

Bar-b-que has a great flavor you have to ask if you want fat cap with to be included in the preparation of your beef brisket. The staff is always quick to respond to customers request and the restaurants decor is country with a twist of city.

The food was delivered very quickly, we waited maybe 5 minutes. The ambiance is fun and very Texas western. We got the brisket and that is a must when you come visit. The man n cheese was also very delicious. I think the serving size was a little smaller than we were expecting, but you can buy large servings of just meat. We had never had Texas bbq before, so it was good. We would go back.
