Flew in from Los Angeles very hungry. I was trying to decide whether to get the brisket plate, Alexander walked me through it so I went with the loaded baked potato with extra brisket. It was actually very filling and very hearty. I ate half of it and then ate the other half on the plane about an hour into the flight. Alexander and the other guy were very friendly and helpful and fast service. Being a barbecue connoisseur, as you know there are some of the best barbecue places in Texas. But as far as airport barbecue, this is definitely in the top three. From now on I'm definitely doing Cousin's when I come through Dallas. read more

They could be open. Airport kiosk said they were open. They were just hanging out on their phones. Said they were not and it was the airport's fault for 'not updating the kiosks since Covid". Smash burger was cool. read more

Great pitt stop for a layover. Take the trains to get to gate B and the place is right next to the escalator. Great food and friendly counter service. Briskets were great and tender, sauce on the side was pretty good too. Had this pepper sauce with fries that made the highlight of the toung! The price is write for the amount of food. We ordered 2 meat plate (both meat briskets), comes with two sides (we picked corn and mac n cheese). Four people are this (2 adults and 2 kids). Recommend this place for quick, cheap and great meanl. read more

The meat was smoky, moist and soft but overall not as warm as you'd expect fresh. Just fine while waiting to board. Quick and friendly service too. read more

A short layover at DFW found me craving something local, so I settled in for some BBQ at Cousins. How hungry was I? I asked for the three meat plate: sliced brisket, sausage, and chopped brisket, with sides of beans and corn, and extra jalapeños. Because if you're gonna do it, you gotta do it up. Really good! Each bite of BBQ was tender, juicy, with a good combination of umami, sweet, and spicy. The beans added earthiness, along with the heat of the jalapenos. If you're at DFW and need a BBQ fix, Cousins is the place to try! read more

Look, it's just nice to have Texas BBQ at the DFW Airport, when you're early for your flight and have some a couple of hours to kill. I ordered a couple 2-meat combos to go, to take home from Dallas to California. I noticed that the menu at the airport location I visited isn't the full menu that Cousin's BBQ has on their website, but this isn't a surprise. The airport terminal restaurant is smaller with less space and I'm not sure they cook their food on site rather than delivery from elsewhere. I ordered the brisket, pulled pork, and sausage. The brisket wasn't as tender and fatty as I had in Dallas proper but it wasn't terrible, either. I appreciate the spiciness of Texas bbq sauce or hot sauce, that's for sure. The mac and cheese has a different taste than the kind I'm used to in California, but it's neat to try and taste the difference! The potato salad was pretty good too and also unique. I appreciate having bbq brisket at the airport. read more

I ate here on my layover at the Dallas airport. The staff were friendly, the food was well prepared, and served immediately. I got the loaded baked potato with brisket.

Stopped in for some quick breakfast tacos. Handmade flour tortillas? That's a negative. Dry brisket? Of course. Ground mystery breakfast sausage? In all its glory... The red chile sauce was very good and the eggs were perfectly cooked. But the obligatory tip screen was hilarious.

We were so pleased to see Cousin's BBQ near our gate in terminal B. I have never visited the Cousin's in Fort Worth, but I was pretty hangry and needed some protein STAT! The atmosphere was pretty fitting for a bbq restaurant. We chose to order the loaded baked potato with sliced brisket and a quarter pound of the German sausage on the side. My husband and I split the potato and it was a perfect amount for both of us. Now I will say, that I consider this five star airport food. I don't expect their airport location to have as succulent meat as their brick and mortar location. So keep that in mind. It is VERY good food for an airport restaurant and I wish more were of this quality. I saw some ladies with the loaded nachos and those looked pretty amazing too. Glad to have another great bbq restaurant at DFW airport. Note: They make the "kolaches" with jalepeno cheddar sausage or German sausage (actually called klobasnik, but who cares!). Just saying.....can you imagine rolling up in the morning and realizing you can start your long travel day with one of those bad boys? We would definitely return. read more

Sometimes I dread grabbing food at the airport--it's usually overpriced and kind of disappointing. I didn't mind paying a little extra for the baked potato with brisket at Cousin's BBQ in DFW. It came truly loaded with a sizable amount of brisket. The line moved quick and I had plenty of time to eat and make it to my gate. read more

Cousin's BBQ - One meat meal Brisket. With Texas toast, greens, and corn - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Why do I get so hungry in an airport? Dallas Terminal B doesn't have a lot of dining options, especially for breakfast. But there is a Cousin's BBQ with a bar. They have interesting breakfast options and plain old COFFEE. You can order egg and cheese tacos with any meat including brisket or breakfast burritos. For me, an egg and cheese taco and a cup of coffee hit the spot. The fried egg was super fresh and hot. The salsa was delicious with chunky bits of onion and lots of spice. Service was friendly and quick. Order at the counter and wait a few minutes. And the taco was under $3. There is a shared seating area that was clean and comfortable. I can't vouch for the bbq, but the breakfast options are good and I will keep a mental note of Cousin's BBQ. Airline staff were ordering the egg and brisket tacos, so they must be good. There is a bar here and people were enjoying a drink at 6:30 in the morning. read more

I had a layover so I ate here on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered a Big Urban and it got to me in just 5 minutes, so this seems to be a good spot to sneak in a quick meal if time is limited. It honestly tastes a lot better than it looks. It almost looks unappetizing. The jalapeño cheese packs some heat. The sauce comes on the side, which really helps keep things clean. However it was still super greasy. This was a very basic no-nonsense sandwich. It's uninspiring but good - even pretty good for airport food read more

Cousin's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I came across this BBQ spot inside DFW Airport and was pleasantly surprised. There was no line, and I was able to order and get my food fairly quickly. I ordered the one-meat plate with two sides--lean sliced brisket, elote, and collard greens--and everything was so good. The food was very flavorful and hearty. The bread with butter was also toasted to perfection: crispy on the outside and perfectly buttery, just the way I like it. The BBQ sauces were just okay, though. I tried them, but they tasted a bit bland to me. That said, the brisket was so delicious that I ended up eating it without any sauce and didn't miss it at all. Overall, this was probably the best BBQ meal I've ever had--especially impressive for an airport restaurant! I just wish we had this amazing BBQ place farther north of Dallas, in the Plano/Allen area. read more

My flight at JFK got delayed 4 times, so I had time for dinner. I stopped by Cousin's BBQ and got myself a 2-meat platter. My choices were chicken and pulled pork, with a side of coleslaw and potato salad. I also got a garden salad and a banana pudding. The pulled pork was a bit dry, but the chicken was tender. The salad was really fresh. The coleslaw had just the right amount of mayonnaise so it wasn't runny. The potato salad had a lot of vinegar which surprised me. I had never eaten this type of potato salad and liked it more and more with each bite. It really grew on me! The Texas toast that came with the meal was a bit on the thin side, but was still good. The banana pudding was sinfully delicious. I kept telling myself it's bananas and potassium is good for me! lol read more

This was better than I expected. To be fair, I expected awful, like most airport food, but still... I didn't dislike the food here. I only had a breakfast burrito. It was actually relatively affordable (less than $10) too. Some people complained of their burritos being soggy - mine wasn't, it did seem fresh. It was definitely wet, due to the wet salsa on top, but it hadn't been soaking in the salsa for any period of time. The contents were decent. Not a ton of flavor, but it did the job. It was very quick, maybe 5 minutes order to ready. If this were outside the airport I'd probably go 3 stars, but I need to use a different scale in here. You could certainly do worse, especially with limited options in Term B (looking at you, TGI Fridays). read more

Great for airport food! Got the 1 meat plate - sliced brisket, which was pretty good. Comes with two sides but I paid for a third. I liked the Cole slaw and Mac and cheese, but really disliked the collard greens which were soupy. Got a glass of wine from the bar next door and had a fabulous meal! Left very full. read more

When in Dallas even if only during a connection, BBQ is a must! Ordered the 1 meat combo. I asked for a more fatty brisket and they were happy to oblige. Food was ready surprisingly quickly and there was plenty of tables available. With the sides and Texas Toast this was a lot of food. Everything was on the more salty side so do get a drink. The brisket was moist and sides were flavorful. Toast was buttery. A nice stopover fit for a Texas layover. read more

Wanted to get a quick lunch and this seem like an interesting option . I took the plate w brisket and some fries - the meat itself was ok and the fries were also nice . Probably doesn't worth the 26$ I paid for it though read more

While we were at the airport waiting for our flight, my family and I decided to grab some BBQ for lunch. Cousin's BBQ had a small location near our waiting area, so we decided to have lunch there. We ordered their two-meat plate that comes with two sides. The tri-tip, pulled pork, street corn, and potato salad were all delicious. Not the best BBQ I had in Texas, but still delicious. You can get a fountain drink with free refills. They have some sitting area that they share with other restaurants. I'm glad we were able to get one last BBQ meal before heading back home. read more

Cousin's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Stopped here twice in one week where DFW was my connection. First time I tried the brisket nachos. And they were pretty good and fairly priced ($18.49), but brisket deserves to have its own plate unencumbered by queso, chips, and pickled onions. So the second time I got the 2 meat plate with brisket and jalepeno sausages, with Mac and cheese and street corn as sides. Not the best I've ever had in Texas, but solid for an airport layover when it's your only main meal of the day. Service was fast - and I like that they asked me if I wanted fatty or lean ends of the brisket. The little bar next to it sells beers on tap. read more

I am returning from a red-eye flight and was looking for a simple, easy to grab breakfast option other than McDonald's. This place is next to Gate B43.

4 stars! Had a late delayed flight to DFW so had no time to hit the Centurion Lounge so the only options by my connecting flight was Burger King, Panda Express and this place. I was in the mood for Texas BBQ since I haven't had any for so long, I got the pulled pork combo with potato salad, and greens. The Greens were amazing, same with the potato salad the pulled pork was pretty good too. I think if I had more time I'd be able to really study the menu and decide but I was literally running through the airport trying to make my connecting flight. Good thing I ate here since there was NO FOOD on my flight at all and we didn't land until like almost midnight where everything's closed already anyway. If I'm put in a situation like this again I'd def eat there again and try some other things on the menu! read more

Delicious BBQ! We always hit this spot in the Dallas terminal. It'll fix your Texas BBQ craving. The 1 Meat Plate is $23.99, 2 Meat Plate is $25.99, and the 3 Meat Plate is $28.99. At these prices, you're losing money if you don't get the 3 Meat Plate. Plus, it's delicious, so why not. 3 Meat Plate - $28.99 - We got sliced brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, and pulled pork. All 3 were done perfectly. The brisket is rendered well and tender. The sausage is spicy and juicy. The pulled pork had a good ratio of fat, so it was juicy and well seasoned. Get those 3 meats. Our sides were mac and cheese and coleslaw. The sides were fine, nothing to write home about. The meats are the star. 5/5 stars. Laura's Banana Pudding - $5.49 - This hits the spot. Delicious with nilla wafers and a hint of cinnamon. Perfectly way to end BBQ. 5/5 stars. Service is friendly and fast. Ambiance is fun. Tables are clean. Highly recommend. read more

Found this restaurant in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth Airport and I was impressed with the food and service. We sat at the bar and ordered a 1/4 pound of brisket to try it out. Wow! It was moist and delicious. Our server was Ashley and she was attentive and so wonderful! The location was perfect for a great glass of wine and actually pretty quite for an airport. The menu was extensive and I wish we had more time to have a full meal. But we couldn't leave without trying the brisket. Great place! Check it out. read more

Of course you have to get bbq in Texas, but obviously this isn't the best place to try it. But I'm not going to lie, it was really good. The collard greens were fire. The sauces aren't bad.

It was a lot better than I expected. The brisket sausage sandwich was good, we really liked the jalapeno sausage. The Mac and cheese was good. The loaded baked potato was the star. We ordered ours with brisket. It reminded me of when I was a child and my mom made roast beef and hash. I really wanted to try the banana pudding. The bbq sauce is good it's a more vinegary sauce with a lil kick. I'll definitely try it again. read more

I'll preface this with "it's airport food" That being said, it was awfully pricey for a lunch. I got the bbq nachos, figuring it could go too wrong. The part of the. Hips covered with meat and cheese was pretty good. The problem was there was barely any meat. And the Large sweet tea I got came in what would be a small at any other restaurant. Not bad bbq if you can stand the price, but it wasn't worth it for me. read more

Recommend: "Maybe!" I had a couple hours and thought while in Dallas at the airport, I might try to grab some Texas BBQ. I have the nagging suspicion that this "Cousin's" BBQ to Texas BBQ as Olive Garden is to Italian Food. The brisket plate wasn't bad, meat-wise! The two sides were lackluster, at best and the Mac n cheese was runny and watery. This tainted my entire view of the experience and at a whopping, jaw-dropping, embarrassing $25 for this plate, I expect a little more quality. I think I'd have done better at the Panda Express around the corner. I wouldn't make the mistake read more

I had a short layover in DFW and the next meal wasn't going to happen for a few hours because I'll be on a plane. I walked past Cousin's BBQ and was skeptical due to the low ratings and reviews but there was no wait. I took a chance and grabbed a 2 meat plate to go. I got the chopped tri tip and pulled pork with collard greens and potato salad for my sides. The meat was moist and flavorful! Did not need the bbq sauce at all. Collards were saltier than my preference but they were also yummy. Lastly, the potatoes paired really well with everything. It was a lovely meal. I'd recommend them even outside the airport! FYI this was $28 and some change. read more

Be careful, they scammed me on 7/2/26. My flight was delayed and I received a $12 voucher. My wife wanted a brisket potato and I paid the $9.82 overage.

Had a connecting flight at DFW and since I couldn't go out to get BBQ, I decided to look for BBQ in the airport and found this place (close to my gate too). Now, I know what you're thinking, BBQ at the airport?! Yeah, and it was pretty good. THE FOOD. - Two Meat Plate [Duroc Pulled Pork. House Made Jalapeño Cheddar Link. Collard Greens. Bacon Potato Salad] | Surprisingly, the pulled pork was really juicy and tender. It came with a side of BBQ sauce for dipping; sweet and vinegary. Loved the spicy kick from the jalapeño sausage slices, which were also juicy. The warm, earthy collard greens were mellow in sweetness and slightly vinegary. Bacon potato salad was creamy cool and had diced celery for added crunch. Texas toast was just a slice of toasted bread with melted butter. Overall, it was a good meal; no complaints here. THE DRUNK DRINKS. - Texas Red by Rahr & Sons Brewing | An amber beer; malty sweetness and went great with my lunch. Seating wasn't an issue; I sat at the bar. The only real complaint I had was at some point, a dirty bucket of water was placed near my luggage. I tried to ignore it, but the more I tried, the more I became fixated on it. Kindly hide that behind the bar counter or something so I can enjoy my food without feeling like I have to throw up a little. read more

We had a long layover here on our way back home and needed something to eat and since we were in Texas, might as well grab some BBQ! We couldn't decide what we wanted to try- a brisket sandwich or jalapeño cheddar link so we got the best of both worlds with the big urban sandwich- moist brisket with the jalapeño cheddar link! This definitely hit the spot and was very tasty. We opted fot Texas Street corn as out side and couldn't have been more happy! This was do delicious that wished had enough time to order more. Hopefully the next time we are in Dallas, we can actually try this spot out in town but we are glad that they have a location in the airport! Seating here is plentiful- they had quite a few tables and countertop seating so it wasn't difficult to find a spot to enjoy your meal. They also serve alcohol here too and it is definitely a great place to relax during your layover- seriously, BBQ and beer- what more can ask for?! read more

Our flight to Costa Rica got all messed up due to mother nature not being nice. Stuck at Dallas Airport starving.. Choice was Smah burger with long line or Cousin's BBQ. So BBQ it is. Ordered the 2 meat plate with 2 side dishes, two pulled pork sandwich, and smart water. Ordered moist brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage, Coleslaw, and Texas sweet corn. Brisket was actually pretty good except the last 2 slices were end cut. I don't like end cut specially when I chose moist slice . Sasauge was pretty good little on the dry side. Coleslaw probably one of the worst ones I've had. Sweet corn was not too bad. Pulled pork sandwich was pretty good also. BBQ sauce is vinegar base which was not too bad. Texas toast was a big miss.. I guess it's not bad if you want to fill up and want bread. Total over $64 Dang I hate airport price. Overall it was not bad. Would I come here again or any other cousins BBQ if I saw it somewhere else? Probably not. read more

Horrible service. If the man in front attending is miserable and hates his job, then why work there? The staff was rude, making faces and grunting the entire time. I don't understand -- people come to the airport already dealing with enough stress and chaos, trying to have a good time or simply get to their destination, and on top of that we have to deal with trash customer service. And to make it worse, we got the "breakfast burrito," which was honestly the worst burrito I've ever had. It tasted completely frozen and reheated. Definitely not worth the money. read more
