First time there, stopped at lunch, was in a hurry so just wanted 2 sausage links to go. The guy carving the brisket, obviously the cook/owner, heard me say I had never been there before and he cut me a generous piece of brisket to try while I was waiting. Wow, it was delicious! He told me everything is made in-house including the sausage I was waiting for. I usually get sausage at seafood places at lunch that are small, so I order two. These links were large enough for two people, and also smoky-flavored delicious! They came with homemade pickles and homemade pickled onions and bread. The lady checking me out was so friendly -the whole vibe was typical NO, which is a refreshing and familiar feeling from lunch places everywhere growing up. As a several generation native, places have changed a lot since Katrina, so it's nice to feel like I'm in a real place with real food. Went back after work to bring home a variety of menu items for the family. The ribs have a great rub, the brisket as I said before is so good and tender. The BBQ chicken and brisket was the best I've had anywhere in NO , including some way more expensive places near City Park. A fantastic mac & cheese with just enough jalapeno (I always add Tabasco to mac and cheese & this didn't need any, it was perfect). My family loved the beans-it is all around a great place. So many more things to try! I'm glad I found this place! read more

Well, to start off I went in excited to get some fresh cracking because they seem to sell out quick EVERYWHERE in LA. So I asked the lady "can I get your cracklins." She said nope no more. I said awww I came all the way for them she said "should have called" I said I did but no answer and that's where she got very rude, well you see we're busy. So I brushed it off and said ok well, I'll try your jack Mac n cheese, mexi corn and dirty rice. (Figured I'd order something while I was there) she told me the total and walked away. I pulled my money out and put it in the counter. This woman was maybe in her 40s kinda heavy with long braids. When she came back to the register she just stood there staring at me "she said, "so how are you going to pay!?" I'm just in shock the way she was so rude, I said "cash" and I pointed at it on the counter she said "put it in my hand" I said "put it in your hand"!? She smirked and she said it's only proper! I'm like wow Then she grabbed the money angrily! I'm thinking what did I miss ‍ I feel like she was being racist! I'm not African American and I could not imagine why she treated me that way so what else am I supposed to think. Can you believe that the review I left on their page the owners responded by insulting me and saying my review was total bullshit! very unprofessional. They act sweet with the good reviews but if they get a negative review they should learn from it. Not talk crap about you and tell you your review is bullshit especially if they weren't there! They should ask the girl I described she'll know exactly what I'm talking about. I thought the Mac and cheese was good, corn was ok and the dirty rice was TERRIBLE! sure the bbq is good but not everything on the menu is great. Don't order the dirty rice unless you want to be disappointed. read more

I was craving a Reuben. I was so happy to discover this place and that it tasted authentic. Fries were decent but I was surprised that I wasn't given any ketchup. read more

Living in New Orleans takes will power to not over indulge in restaurants like Cochin!‍‍ There's so many selections to choose from on their expansive menu! Today's choice (to share of course) was the 3-Meat Plate which comes with two sides! Check out the pic of the Smoked Ribs/Brisket/Burnt Ends platter with Smoked Beans & Dirty Rice. Every bite was savory and filled with smoked flavor! The Brisket Bomb is a must-try! The love lagniappe was Emily and Irealle! They were so friendly, welcoming, and did not kind me asking questions. The only reason I did not give 5-Stars is I would have liked the sides in a separate container, especially the Smoked Beans. They spilled over into the compartment with the meat. Just a preference but no shade here! I'm looking forward to ordering again and choosing other specials, sides, and appetizers! Stop in, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Cochon King BBQ - Potato salad, smokey beans, ribs, and burnt ends - American Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Bbq spots are only as good as their meats. Specifically their pork (or beef if you weren't raised right). Disclaimer: I don't eat red meat, so my opinion of this place lives and dies on the quality of their wings. And they were, MEH. First of all, the wings were huge. Like suspiciously large. Immediately I thought: "Okay, these are definitely pumped full of hormones." But I paid $12 for SIX wings, so I was eating them regardless. I was told they were smoked and then flash-fried. I also ate them without any sauce because GOOD smoked wings don't need a be sauced! Unfortunately, the wings were just okay. Not bad, but not great either. I didn't even want to finish them. On to the sides. I ordered the potato salad and Brussels sprouts. The potato salad had absolutely no taste. It tasted like boiled potatoes, mayo and green onions. No mustard. Is that what makes it a Creole potato salad? You don't want it. But I'm really annoyed about the fried Brussels sprouts. I was given what looked like six or seven halves. So...maybe 3.5 full sprouts? That's it. For $5. I'm upset as about that tiny portion. I definitely overpaid and definitely am underwhelmed. read more

For New Orleans, Cochon King BBQ is good. I'd give it about 4 stars. I had the ribs, brisket, and burnt ends with pepper jack dirty rice and mac and cheese. The burnt ends were the best part, really flavorful. The brisket was seasoned well with a good bark, but it was cut too thick for my taste. The ribs were just okay. I also tried the Texas Twinkie and the boudin egg rolls. I wasn't a fan of either the Twinkie had a strange flavor and the egg roll was too greasy. Overall, the food was fine. read more

I came here for a quick lunch break. When I walked in I was greeted with a smile & a friendly hello ready to take my order. I ordered the brisket potato & it was excellent! The owner was also behind the counter cutting the fresh meat himself in front of you & also was very friendly asking if I was enjoying my food & chatted with the me. It is definitely a "hole in the wall" gem. It is so hard to find good BBQ & this was the best I have had in a while! I will define back to try more! read more

We've been to Cochon King BBQ a couple of times now. Normally we order in person but the last time we ordered online- which was a mistake. We waited about 15/20 minutes before showing up and the woman working didn't seem to know what was going on or if the order had come through. Eventually between her and the kitchen they figured it out but we did have to continue waiting as if we ordered in store- which is what we will go back to doing. The food here is legit, this is one of my favorite places to go when I'm in town and it's hard to get anything bad here. We've had the pulled pork, brisket, and bbq chicken and there were all great. The mac and cheese, slaw and brisket rice are also right at the top of things to order. I find the prices to be perfect and it allows you to try a couple of different things without committing to one meat option. We'll continue to come back and if you haven't tried this place you have to! read more

I enjoyed a Rueben with baked beans and mac n cheese. The Reuben is packed with meat. It was pretty good. The baked beans and Mac were ok. I enjoyed them more when I scooped a little of each on one spoon. The staff is very friendly and offer great service. read more

I would rather eat explosive diarrhea taco bell than this place. Everything tastes like cardboard. Spend your money elsewhere.

This was a best BBQ I've had! It's a tiny shop with a lot of flavor and character! As soon as we stepped in, we were greeted by very kind staff and by Hank Williams Jr singing over the radio. I also had to use the restroom and it was super clean. My husband and I got smoked burnt ends, smoked spare ribs, a Texas Twinkie, cracklin, and pepper jack Mac. We also got a complimentary sample of pulled pork. The food popped out so fast!! Unfortunately we had started eating before I took the pictures but it was so delicious! We highly recommend the burnt ends, ribs, and definitely the Texas Twinkie. Next time we're in NOLA, we're coming back!! read more

Ordered a half rack and potato salad. I received 6 bones. Ate 1.5 and threw the rest away. Ate half the potato salad and threw the rest away. Bbq in New Orleans is mediocre at best. But I would never order here again. read more

I visited Cochon King BBQ after trying their burnt ends at the Blues and BBQ Festival. The food was amazing. I ordered a family platter and shared it with my friends. My only complaint is that I wish there were more ribs on the platter. The dirty rice was some of the best I've had. The mac and cheese obviously isn't home cooked, but it's good for a restaurant. The staff was very friendly, and they even checked to make sure we were satisfied with everything. read more

The place is great. The smoke smell lets you know it's a bbq joint. Staff was so kind and accommodating. Our food came out hot, presented with care and most important - delicious. Smoked wings, pulled pork, brisket, ribs, cracklins, potato salad and Mac n cheese. Definitely a new fav! read more

We went here on a whim because a seafood food truck nearby was closed and it was the best decision!!! Probably some of the best BBQ I've ever had and amazing sauce. We ended up buying extra BBQ sauce to bring home. Highly recommend this place and I hope to go back to LA so I can eat here again!! read more

Hear me out, I've read that this place can be a hit or miss depending on the day and I think I must have come on a "miss" day, unfortunately. They're a new business, so it's possible they haven't quite nailed down consistency yet. I think you should keep my review in mind, but this place may be worth a try! Cochon King is a cute little dive-y shop with tables for eating there, and you can definitely smell something good before you even walk in the door. First of all, let me tell you that the prices here are fantastic! They offer cheap meals that fill you up; they don't skimp at all here and they have very generous portions. We tried their 3-meat combo platter ($26) with a side of their "pepper jack mac" and smoked beans. We got the brisket, smoked ribs, and turkey for the 3 meats. The sides were delicious, and the turkey was AMAZING! Juicy, flavorful, tender, soft, and smoky. Everything you can ask for in BBQed turkey. However, the brisket and ribs were not as awesome. The brisket and ribs were both really tough, dry, and none of the fat was rendered. The seasoning, flavor, and the smokiness were good, but it wasn't tender or juicy. A good smokehouse barbeque should be able to cook the meat to where it's falling off the bones and the fat gets rendered, but this wasn't it. I really had to cut into the meat to get them to bite-sized pieces. We ended up finishing the brisket, which was okay, but the ribs were not really edible as it were. We took the ribs home and threw it in a pot of beans we were cooking, and only then did the ribs become soft enough to eat. We also tried the special of the day, which was the $10 chicken BBQ plate. It comes with some pickled onions and cukes and a side of potato salad, which were all good. However, the chicken was disappointing. The flavor was there along with the perfect amount of char, but maybe the heat was too high or it was left on the heat for a bit too long? This meat was dry and tough too. We had a few bites and took the rest of it home, but we didn't even end up finishing it another day. This is rare for us, we're good about finishing leftovers! If the chicken had been on-point, this would have been a deal you couldn't beat! We tried the smoked wings ($10 for 6 pieces) and this was a disappointment as well. Same issue with the meat being too dry and tough. We got some ranch dressing that helped add a bit of moisture to each bite, but it just wasn't very good. All in all, I was really hoping to love this place, but I didn't this time. Maybe I could give this place a shot again, and it'll be on a day when it's a "hit"! read more

I really enjoy the smoked wings, baked beans, smoked sausage, and potato salad. I've tried most of the menu and I can't get enough. The restaurant has a decent amount of seating on the inside and the service is wonderful. Parking is limited so keep that in mind. read more

We've been here a few times with varying experiences. Customer service is consistently good and wait times have been minimal which is great. My only drawback is the food has been hit or miss. First time the cracklins were on point but the second time they were cold and inedible. The mac and cheese has good flavor but was runny both times I ordered it. I haven't been enough to completely write it off...hoping future visits will be more positive than negative. read more

Service is good food is okay Texas Twinkie I feel should've been smoked longer and a little more cream cheese Brisket had flavor but was pretty tough and on the dry side almost had the texture of a steak pretty thick cuts. I went at 3pm on a Sunday and they said they were out of ribs and replaced them with burnt ends but I never got them in my order. Smoked Wings have flavor but are also tough and dry. Pulled pork was pretty good moist and flavorful with the right amount of fat so bonus points there. Sides are good Idk if it was a bad day or something but almost everything I tried had the same result. I would try them again at some point but at a earlier time read more

This a food truck located on N. Broad. Stopped here based on a recommendation and was not disappointed. To say my food was delicious is an understatement. The ribs were tender and simply divine. The bbq sauce that accompanies the meal on the side had a hint of tangy spice. The flavor blended perfectly. If in the area, treat yourself to some good barbecue. read more
