Cousin Willie's Smokehouse

Nice little BBQ spot. The pork was nicely done and they have some good sauces. Loved the Mac n Cheese. Staff was friendly, attentive and efficient.Will definitely go back.

We got a bunch of sides as we were on the road and didn't want to eat too much. They were not too far off the exit. The fries were excellent, thick cut & nicely seasoned. Corn nuggets & Brunswick stew delicious. Lima beans were really tasty but a little spicier than anticipated. Collard greens were sadly rather lackluster. The place is definitely not fancy but the service was friendly, food was good and reasonably priced.

Quick ordering at the counter and they bring you the food. You get your drink and sauce. The family ordered a pound of brisket, pint of green beans, side of mac, salad, and a side of hush puppies. It worked for our quick stop on our way to the beach!

One of the best, if not the best barbecue we've ever had. We had the family dinner for two priced at 24.95. It came with a choice of four meats and four sides. Barbecue ribs were not an option. However, they substituted it for free. Amazing ! We had the ribs, pork, brisket and sausage. All were fantastic. We upgraded and got the onion rings. Legendary flavor, light and crispy. Overall delicious. Yum Yum Yum.!

This is a small local barbecue restaurant with some really good food. The seating area inside is close together, kind of a family style dining. The staff is very friendly, good southern hospitality! I tried the brisket, potato salad, and baked beans. They brisket was cooked really well, nice and juicy, I just would have preferred more flavor/seasoning. The sides were pretty good! You can tell they didn't just poor some beans out of a can and warm them, up haha! Definitely going back here!

While driving to Jacksonville Florida, we stopped for gas and a bite to eat. The gas was easy to get but we wanted something better than junk or fast food. We jumped on Yelp and found that Cousin's was just 3 minutes away promising home style BBQ. Once there we grab a seat and waited for service while drooling from the aroma of smoked meat in the air. I ordered the beef plate with coleslaw and collard greens. The meat was juicy, tender and had the most delicious bark on it. The slaw was refreshing and helped cut the fat of the brisket. The real star was the greens. I swear I would just order a plate of them and would've been in heaven. Highly recommend. Author David Moon Books on Amazon ZomosapiensScales of Justice Pickle's Pickle

OMG what a hidden gem. My friend and I had to go after reading the reviews to check this place out ourselves. The fried corn nuggets were amazing, sweet and fresh. Definitely get it. My friend had a special dish - Pulled pork nachos. He finished the whole dish. He said it was flavorful and filling. I had the beef brisket sandwich with fries. The fries were well seasoned and fresh. The brisket was definitely moist. The sweet BBQ sauce was really good. I can't say the brisket was the best I have had - I am from Texas, it was really good. If I'm back in the area, I would definitely go back!!

Second time we've stopped there on our drive from the NE down to Bradenton. Right near the top of 301 after heading West on 10, about an hour and a bit from Ocala. Just solid BBQ, reasonably priced, nice staff, what you'd expect from an "off the beaten path" place.Everything we've had has been delicious and plentiful. Be aware that when you order a soft drink or iced tea, they come in huge cups and you WILL have to stop before too long. We are northeasterners and "foodies" with an appreciation of good BBQ, and we heartily recommend Cousin Willie's!

The food's amazing people are great, very helpful, very polite.. Waiting time.Was very short.For my order thank you

This place was AMAZING! It's located in a hidden town, off the interstate. Although this BBQ beauty may seem small and unassuming, I can promise you she packs a mighty punch of culinary composition that will leave you smitten with this small town smokehouse! The woman behind the counter, and waiting tables was incredibly helpful and topped off the perfection we experienced at Cousin Willie's.
