Overall a great meal here - the BBQ ribs and the sliced brisket were both very tender and flavorful. I loved the mashed potato casserole, and the mac and cheese was great as well.

Peach " Dough" cobbler
Mario M.

Peach cobbler was all dough! No peaches or anything that has to do with peach. Meats turkey, chicken, brisk and 4 out of 10 at best. But the worst was the BBQ Sauce. Watered down doesn't stick to the meat! And skip the chunk potatoes in cheese and milk. I think they call them gratin potatoe.

This is the kind of BBQ place that took me back to my childhood days when Underwood's was the bomb. Keep the new, fancy pitmasters, and their high prices. I'll eat here. My brisket was ok as was the sausage. Plenty on the plate. Get the sauce on the side. I had tater salad and BBQ beans. Delicious. But, the selection of sides is incredible. There are so many yummy looking dishes. Tea is tasty and a free ice cream cone for dessert. (if you're not too full) Big Jack's will be my go-to Monday lunch spot.

St Louis Ribs Plate

Friendly service. Greeted the minute we walked in. Saw the guy ahead of us order the brisket and it looked amazing. Unfortunately when it got to our turn, we were given the well done dry end pieces. Hot link was good and St. Louis ribs were fall off the bone delicious! Clean and well kept dining areas.

Brisket, pulled pork & slaw. FABULOUS

That all changed and was very noticeable during fathers day and especially this weekend during July 4th! The past few weeks when calling in to check for food availability or how busy it was, Ive noticed the same person answering every single one of my calls that I had to double take and make sure I called the right place! When I mentioned my concern about the massive line wrapped around the building during fathers day, mothers day and this weekend, the same lady named Kayla answered the phone. I was about to leave and she assured me that it would move fast and not to worry and that they had samples to ease some hunger while waiting. Sure enough, she was exactly right! To top it all off, after we got our food and sat down, she actually went above and beyond to come over to our table and check on us just because I had called to thank her for helping me from not leaving to the amazing customer service she provided. I let her know that is very rare now days and not to ever change that! I found out after meeting her that shes about to head out on maternity leave soon and honestly, I'm going to be a little sad when she leaves! She is a massive asset to the Hutchins team and can change the mood just by her smile and friendliness. Not only that, she gave a lot of good recommendations for trying some new foods at Hutchins and every time has been a good call! Give this girl a raise!! I wish Kayla the absolute best and I'll definitely be looking out for her when she gets back! Our server, I believe her name is Cynthia, was also fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed at the table. Excellent food, legendary customer service from Kayla, and a great experience overall! Its like our first time coming in each and every time.

Amazing owner, people, and food…read more The owner was a nice older gentleman with friendly smiles. It's nice to see the owner involved in their own store. Came on a weekend evening and there was a line waiting. Place was busy and bustling, but food was coming out in a timely manner. Live music on the outdoor porch. It was quite hot, but with the way the interior is built, it is a given the ventilation isn't too well - old and rustic. Banana pudding was yummy, however, there was a brunette piece of hair lodged in it. Sanitation overall was still clean; hair tied up, gloves used, etc so I'm sure it was an honest mistake. However, it ruined my dessert appetite so -1 star. Brisket was absolutely delicious and well-seasoned. You know how the meat sometimes looks gray? Not here. It was heavenly and not crazy fatty. They didn't skimp on the meat to bread portion either. $17 for the sandwich, fantastic price. You will be seeing me again! Thank god for Texas BBQ.

May be five if all the vehicles were parked inches apart. Many vehicles parked behind the restaurant on gravel and grass. I chose the BBQ Pork Ribs Plate which came with four ribs. Once I got my meat, everything else was self-service. For sides, I chose the smoked beans and potato salad. Before leaving the area, I made sure to grab a dinner roll. The Point of Sale requesting a tip annoyed me due to the amount of self-service. The ribs were okay. There was not as much meat as I would have liked. Of the two sides, the smoked beans were my favorite. Its sauce provided plenty of flavor. The potato salad had a distinct dill aftertaste. The interior of the dinner roll was slightly warm, so it may have sat on the serving tray for a while. As with other barbecue spots, they offered free soft serve (vanilla). Frugal diners should forego the non-complimentary desserts. Unfortunately, the ice cream was softer than my preference. It's consistency similar to a very thick milkshake.

As I worked my way down the line, everyone was helpful with asking if I wanted bread, what deserts were worth trying, and closing the transaction. The workers who clean off the tables are also amazing. I was able to practice my Spanish with them. Thank you Hard Eight BBQ for making me feel welcome. I'll definitely come by again when I'm in town!

Disapointment After Ownership Change…read more My family and I have been going to Fat Cow for several years. We loved the friendly atmosphere, excellent service and great food. We decided to try it after the new owners took over. While the atmosphere was still welcoming and friendly, we noticed some changes in the food that made me miss the old days. The sausage was a big letdown which looked like a shriveled up hot dog. The mac and cheese had no flavor and did not have enough sauce. The potato salad and coleslaw were not as good as they had been in the past. I hope the new owners can find a way to bring back the flavor and quality that st this place apart drom other BBQ restaurants.

Within 5 minutes and before I got to a table, I was telling my wife they must be under new ownership. Receiving the food and taking a bite prompted us to take to Google and confirmed it. I have never thrown away food at Fat Cow, however I threw away two orders of fat japs (minus two half eaten ones that the wife and took a single bite out of) and 2/3 of my brisket taco plate. Condiments bar was just brine in containers with no pickles, jalapenos etc, brisket was dry, bacon on fat japs was cold grease coated and sickly looking, meat inside jalapenos was like shredded jerky. Had never before walked out of there smelling like dirty barbecue before, but we definitely could smell it in our clothes the rest of the night. Definitely not the Fat Cow I grew up loving.

Juicy and well seasoned with a nice crispy top. We got lean pieces without too much fat on it which was perfect! The Dino rib was humongous! I was hoping the meat would've been fall off the bone tender but it wasn't. I think it would've been better if it were more tender. The pork ribs and burnt ends were pretty solid as well. Good seasoning and the burnt ends had a good crisp to it. I think if they cut the burnt ends smaller it would be more crispy lol I really love a good baked potato and this has to be one of the best loaded baked potato's out there! The potato was soft and stuffed with butter, cheese, bacon and chives. It's good to eat with the meats to balance out some of the flavors. I was craving a good corn bread and this one was pretty good. It was moist and fluffy with the perfect amount of sweet and corn ratio. Overall it was pretty good bbq! I'm on a quest to finding the best bbq out there!

Once I arrived at the counter, the cutter was preparing several cuts of meat, probably for online orders. I again ordered the Rib Half Slab Plate which was the monthly special at a $1 off. Hoping the sides would have improved, I chose the Fried Cabbage and Ranch House Beans. I did not realize both were considered spicy. While I previously enjoyed their buttermilk pie, I would not have room. The BBQ sauce was served in its own container as the ribs were moist and delicious. Nothing was needed to enhance their flavor. Without the diced onions, neither the beans nor cabbage would have been spicy. Unlike my previous experience, I did like the beans. Fortunately, I am an omnivore; otherwise, the small chunks of ham in the cabbage may have caused concern. Finally, the buttery toast was again addictive. If I had any hunger remaining, I would have welcomed myself to the free vanilla soft serve. A customer made himself a float by filling a beverage cup before pouring it with soda. A minor hindrance is that they only have cake cones and not cups.
