    Terrible ribs tough and rubbery couldn't even bite through them after 45 minutes wait. Tasted like 3 day old leftovers

    Great food. Seated immediately. Food was the beat southern food I've had in a long time. The cornbread was the best I have ever had.

    COME HUNGRY! We have passed by so many times and it just wasn't a time to eat and it smelled so…read moregood and you could hear the music blaring. The portions are real man sized so be prepared. At first I thought the prices were a little high but then I saw what all we got and it was well worth what they charge. We actually were confused at first by the Vegan trailer outside. I assumed they cooked in the house and sold out of the food trailer but that is a whole separate business, when I asked for meat they said "over there." We went inside the house and we were greeted by 2 nice beautiful ladies that explained all our questions, as it was our first trip in, and we put our order in. There is a good bit of room inside if you want to dine in but we were on the road so Togo it was. We ordered the 2 ribs lunch, a half rack which was 6 bones and the pork sandwich. I got the hot bbq on the half rack and it was actually medium in hotness just fyi. I'm not a huge fan of beef ribs because most people can't get them tender enough but TOH did the deed and they were fairly tender. We will be back again to try other options.

    OMG! I stumbled upon this place & when I say I am glad I found this place. When I pulled up, there…read morewas a house to my right and a food truck to my left. The food truck was a vegan food truck. They had many different options and a line as well. I was welcomed by two beautiful & cheerful ladies who helped me decide what to pick. They also offered me a sample of the rib tips & it definitely was appreciated. I ordered the rib tips & chicken with mac & cheese and baked beans. I also added a sausage. I definitely enjoyed my food and will be returning. -Rib Tips: 10/10 PERFECT -Chicken: 9/10 fall off the bone; juicy; flavorful -Sausage: 3/10 I know this sounds crazy, but I don't like burnt sausages, but I know it's a hit among others -Mac & Cheese: 9/10 big scoop; full of cheese; flavorful -Baked Beans: 5/10 weren't nasty, but wasn't the best; had a cinnamon taste to them -Sauce: 10/10 came with more than enough, but it was so good I should've got extra just to have

    Welcome back to the table…read more I find that most people dismiss rotisserie chicken as "basic," but finding one that is actually seasoned through to the bone is harder than it should be. I stopped by the Cowboy Chicken in McDonough looking for something reliable, and it delivered that specific, wood-fired comfort that's hard to replicate at home. The vibe is laid-back and rustic exactly what you'd expect from a spot centered around an open flame. The Spread We didn't hold back on the order, covering everything from the signature rotisserie to the brisket and bowls. The Signature Chicken: They use a dry rub and slow-roast the meat over real wood. The result is a juicy, tender interior with skin that carries a slight, salty crispness. What stood out most was the flavor penetration; the seasoning wasn't just sitting on the surface. Unlike many rotisserie spots where the center feels neglected or underdone, this was consistent throughout. It holds its own without needing sauce. The Sides: The Spanish Rice surprised me. Fluffy, well-seasoned, shelly in texture, and the addition of corn gave it a nice sweetness. The Mac and Cheese was a bit of a curveball; it's more on the liquid, saucy side, but the flavor builds on you the more you eat. The fries were perfect and held a solid crisp even after sitting for a bit. We ended up getting a second basket of Fries because the crunch held up beautifully, even as they cooled down. The Coleslaw will be a hit or miss for some, we had mixed reviews. The shredded cabbage was thicker than normal but the other half of the table it was perfect. Tinga Bowl ($14.00): If you want something that feels a bit lighter but still packs a punch, this is it. The shredded chicken has a balanced kick, paired with corn relish, black beans, and a sprinkle of "Cowboy Dust" for heat. It's refreshing but filling. Layered with rice, beans, corn relish, avocado, crema it all balances out. Not heavy, but still satisfying. Brisket Sandwich (13.75: The bread was lightly toasted, cradling pulled brisket that was smoky and not juicy because we needed sauce for it but the flavor was there. Crispy Tenders ($13.25): These were a table favorite. They nailed the external crunch without sacrificing the moisture of the chicken inside.Crunch on the outside, seasoned all the way through, and still tender inside. The Sweet Finish I'm officially a fan of their Texas Peach Cobbler. It leans more cake-like than soupy, which I prefer. It tasted fresh, warm and held its structure, making it a solid closer for a heavy meal. Service & Value The moment we walked in, the staff offered a genuine verbal welcome. The service was efficient, and the restaurant maintained a clean, organized look despite the steady flow of customers. At roughly $14-$15 for a plate with two sides and a roll, the portion size makes the pricing very reasonable for the quality you're getting. Table Approved This is the spot for a high-quality, fuss-free family dinner or a solo lunch when you're craving real wood-fired flavor without the fast food aftertaste. It's dependable, flavorful, and worth a visit for the chicken alone. Follow along where food meets adventure - Shallonz Table.

    Cowboy Chicken in McDonough is a great spot for a hearty, comforting meal!…read more I tried several items during my visit -- the roasted chicken, brisket sandwich, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and even one of their desserts -- and everything was flavorful and satisfying. The chicken was juicy with that nice smoky flavor, and the brisket sandwich was surprisingly tender. The sides felt fresh and homemade, and the dessert was the perfect sweet finish. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere has a cozy, down-to-earth vibe that makes you feel right at home. The only reason it's not a full five stars is because a couple of items could've used just a bit more seasoning, but overall the meal was really enjoyable. If you're craving good comfort food and solid rotisserie chicken, Cowboy Chicken is definitely worth a stop!
