    a pulled pork sandwich wrapped in tin foil
    Johnathan T.

    4 out of 5 stars. Which from me is great! I usually don't ever rate anyone that fifth star until I've eaten there multiple times and everything has been consistent. Or it's just crazy over the top on that first visit! Definitely good BBQ! Definitely worth the visit! Definitely worth a return trip...or 6! Prices - Prices were good. My total after taxes was $9.62. This included a pulled pork sandwich, an order of fries ($1 upcharge), a small container of slaw to top your sandwich if you choose to and a small container of sauce. Service - Service was great! They're taking precautions because of COVID. The lady that took my order was friendly. Service time was fast. It was about 10 minutes from the time my receipt was printed until I got my food. Very reasonable since they had to cook the fries. Food - Food was great! Large portions! The sandwich was a good portion of meat...enough to where some fell off the bun while eating the sandwich. The pork itself was seasoned good, tender and juicy! There was just slight bit of fat in it...which is expected and how it should be...and had a bit of good bark in it as well. Which is something you don't get at a lot of these other BBQ joints! The sauce was a little sweet, but not too sweet. It was a little thinker than a vinegar base, but didn't have that think molasses base either. Which worked well for me since I'm more of a fan of a vinegar based Carolina or Georgia style of BBQ sauce. I'm not a fan of super thick overly sweet sauces. Fries were crinkle cut fries. Had some good seasoning on them. Huge portion. The coleslaw was good. A little sweet. Small little portion...just enough to top the sandwich if you chose to. I tried everything separately...which I believe that you should do with BBQ! Try the meat unsauced! That will let you know how good the BBQ actually is! Then try it with the sauce! The BBQ by itself was great. The sauce complimented the meat good. And then the last little bit a had I topped with the slaw, which paired well with the meat and sauce. For me, I'd say this is real good backyard BBQ! And that isn't a shot at the food or the pitmaster! That's a compliment! You can tell this isn't some corporate franchise that is there to sale good BBQ...this is someone who loves to make good BBQ and they want to share it with everyone! Well, done!

    Doesn't look much when you drive past it but I always see smoke coming out of there. Eaten there twice now and got the ribs. They are pretty good. Want to get the rib tips next.

    the price of the menu

    They call themselves "Pig out" thought given the size of their sides this isn't likely. You know I've always wondered what makes BBQ Memphis style? Apparently, it's a already sauced sandwich topped with Cole Slaw minus the availability of Fries, Onion Rings, or Brunswick Stew. Yes, there's something to be said about "low and slow", but I think in this case it refers to the long lines at D Q or Chick-fil-A. At nearly $18.00 for a granted decent Sandwich, two amuse-bouche sides, and a can of soda ... Wendy's looks so much better.

    Wings and Mac and potato salad
    Luz C.

    The food was okay. The macaroni was a no go, you pay almost $3 for a very small amount of tasteless Mac and cheese. The wings are juicy, not too tender. The ribs are very good, not a fan of the potato salad either. I had higher hopes for this place, but eh if I had known how bad it was going to be I wouldn't of gone. Not only that but we got horrible service, she took like 10 minutes to give us our tea. BBQ sandwich was okay too!

    Ribs, Brunswick stew, baked beans & coleslaw
    Dannie L.

    Everything we tried was our "favorite!" You have to check them out. Trust me the food and the service will make this one of your favorite BBQ spots in Metro Atlanta! We were just driving by, saw the smoker out front, smelled the food and had to stop in!

    Big Memphis Meal

    I live close to this location and it seemed to be a good place to stop on the way home from work. I received my bag and say this. These portions are not worth what you pay for and could easily receive a larger size at a different bbq place. The food is underwhelming and only personifies that the portions much the taste... below standard. I really like places that are small and quaint but this place is better off where it is.

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.

The fried shrimp tacos were the best. Shoutout to our waitress for that suggestion! They were crispy, large shrimp pieces, and flavored nicely. We also got the fried fish tacos and the ribeye tacos which were very underwhelming. Unfortunately, the entire taco platter was extremely salty. Even though we drank water throughout, we both left feeling super parched due to how salty it was. This place has potential but I'm not sure I would come back. It might be a good spot to grab a drink and hang out, but I wouldn't come here to eat. Honestly the amazing service is really what stood out and was the saving grace!
