My friends and I ride our Harleys there (about 7 of us) whenever we get a chance. No matter what state you visit for BBQ, let me tell you that they have the best Brunswick stew on the planet - I swear!!! The BBQ sandwiches are piled high (enough for 2 sandwiches) and tastes wonderful - even without adding any extra sauce. The sauce is either medium or hot. (some say a 3rd one - sweet) Normally I don't do "hot" but this one is excellent and easy to tolerate the heat. (a little runny nose) The dinner plates run around $12.99 and up and come with 2 sides. Everyone loves their fries, which are actually thin cut potatoes perfectly cooked as crispy. The staff are always friendly and attentive. The place is always clean, including the bathroom. They have TVs you can watch, no music, and they serve beer - including IPA choices. I could go on and on but let me just suffice it to say - you will be so glad you found this place and will crave returning asap. Btw, they are now closed both Monday & Tuesday. (we go on Sunday am when they open at 11am)

This visit I went with a bbq chicken sandwich (drizzled with the sneaky sauce which is one of four types of bbq sauces at each table) and the baked beans which always hits right.

Before I even start with the food, let me just say that the ladies working the counter were as friendly and polite and welcoming as you'll find anywhere!! Just so nice!! I ordered the sampler platter so I could taste all their meats, and for my 2 sides collard greens (incredible!) and Mac & Cheese (delicious!). From the meats, the pulled pork was my favorite, followed closely by the ribs. Chicken and sausage were good as well. Also - the hot BBQ and Sweet BBQ sauces were very tasty and unique. But again - what made the food taste even better was the INCREDIBLE ladies who welcomed me in. As I was leaving, a man arrived to help them and he was equally friendly, thanking me profusely for coming in. Great people and great food - the perfect combination!

I'd have given 5 stars but the chicken wasn't ready by 2pm as it was supposed to have been. It's not a fancy place but they make up for it with food and service.

The funnel cakes fries are perfection and so much easier to eat than traditional funnel cake yummmmmm.

I tried so hard to love this place. You really have no idea. In short, mostly mediocre food…read morecombined with one very shiesty action ruined the experience. I knew I had to stop at Cowboy's BBQ after I passed it a few times while looking at houses in Covington. Some of the best food that you'll find anywhere is often attached to a gas station. The good reviews and smells made me certain this was going to be great. At first glance, prices are amazing [more on this later...]. I ordered the 3 meat plate with brisket, ribs, and smoked chicken. I chose fries and mac n cheese for my sides. The mac n cheese carried an upcharge, but this is reasonably common for places to do. I agree with the one diner who said the brisket was amazing. I really enjoyed the brisket. The fries were also fine thanks how are you? Wish I had more good to say about this place. The ribs were very old and mediocre at best. I understand that food can't be cooked to order at a barbecue place, but even barbecue has a shelf life. The ribs that I was served should've long been chopped into a stew special or something along those lines. The smoked chicken was a disgusting insult. At first, I thought I was mistakenly served an additional side instead of smoked chicken. Unfortunately, their service style is off the bone and finely diced. Storing barbecue meats off the bone is a delicate process. You have to take extra care to ensure that it doesn't dry up in the hot box. Unfortunately, no care was taken, so the chicken was dry and tasteless. The mac n cheese was very low quality. I'll happily pay an upcharge for the good stuff that's baked. I'll grudgingly eat Kraft mac n cheese. I will not pay an upcharge for Kraft mac n cheese. Honestly, all of this would've made the experience probably worth 2 or even 3 stars, but they have an incredibly dishonest, unadvertised upcharge for credit cards. The surcharge is definitely higher than their cost to accept credit cards. Some businesses eat the cost of accepting credit cards. Other businesses pass this cost to the customer. Cowboy BBQ uses this as an opportunity to improve their margins by cheating their customers.

We were driving down 441 last week and remembered the sign at 59 pointing toward Smitty's. We said,…read morewe should go. in my email box this week is my weekly Yelp suggestions and what is at the top? Smitty's! It is a "plate of shrimp" moment of off we go. Smitty's is about a mile up 51 from the biggest truck stop interchange on 85. The building complex is a very cool set of older buildings that look like a barbecue restaurant. There is a giant stack of wood outside so this looks promising. When you go in, seats yourself and someone will be there to serve you right away. The menu is typical barbecue fare with a couple other items too. I ordered the brisket plate, Megan had a chicken fried steak. The brisket was tender and smokey with a little salt and pepper in the seasoning. It was good and meaty. The fries were good as was the okra. The stew was flavorful with tomato and corn. Megan's chicken fried steak was very good. It was beefy and tender and cooked just right. Her potato came with big cups of butter, cheese, and sour cream. And she ate her whole salad. This was a special road trip for use because of the Yelp suggestion. But if we are back in the area again we will defiantly hit them up again.

We went to Madison today for a day trip and I looked for BBQ places. Saw the reviews for Crowe's BBQ and decided to try. Glad we did. I got the brisket plate. My #1 brisket I have ever had was Kreuz BBQ in Lockhart, TX. The next on my list is JW Hayes n Newport Beach, CA.- very similar to Kreuz and told me he fashioned his after Kreuz. Now I have a #3- which ranks right up there with Kreuz and the JW Hayes. The brisket was so tender and fell apart when you pick it up. Just the right amount of smoke flavor. So good. My wife ordered the pulled chicken sandwich and said it was the best she ever had. And she is VERY picky, so I was surprised. I tried hers and it was very tender as well. Now I am tempted to go back to try out their bbq ribs. Now I have my list of top 3. On to find the next one for my list.

Server stopped to take our drink order about 10 minutes later. Drinks arrived and we placed our very simple scoop and serve orders of pulled pork. Then we waited. And waited. Watched as others who ordered 30 minutes after us received their food. I was in the restaurant industry for 20 years, and I know bbq is 90% scoops and serve. Asked the server and she said it'll be out in 2 minutes. (Standard response). 15 minutes later my lady friend had had enough, as did I. Asked for the gm, who I assume wasn't available. Then our cold food arrived. And we were charged the full amount without any sort of apology. Almost 2 hours we waited for simple bbq. Here's my advice for the restaurant. When your kitchen or servers can't produce. Your managers need to "hold the door". Put the door on a 20-30 minute wait so you can catch up. Obviously there's a lack in management here, or at least there was on that day. They continued to seat folks and I kept asking myself (why?)

We luckily found parking and were happy to get into an air conditioned space. The inside of Fox Bros is very much like a college bar. There are a bunch of memorabilia and different areas to sit.

The ribs fell off the bone which of course is very nice. I enjoyed their mac& cheese and potato salad. I don't recall my exact order but within the menu they offer to mix and match the various dishes. My boyfriend had collard greens with his mix and match. It was our first time having collard greens & we were not disappointed!
