Cousins BBQ

One of the 2013 Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joints, which vanished from the list in 2017 and did not reappear in 2021. This was our 93rd 'cue stop in the Lone Star state, and the 383rd nationwide. We found the 'cue here to be very good; indeed, we would rate it higher than what is on offer at over a dozen of the places on TMM's list. The menu here offers real strength from top to bottom. $46.02 purchased a brisket and jalapeno cheddar sausage sandwich with house made fries, a Bev's smokehouse salad top with sliced brisket, a second side of Texas street corn, and a banana pudding. The salad was huge, fresh, and topped with brisket that was well smoked, with terrific bark; it was moist and tender even at five in the afternoon. The sausage also proved top notch, with good snap and sharp flavor. Both the fries and the street corn were excellent, and the banana pudding was so good that we went back and got a second order to go. We call this “destination 'cue,” and we strongly recommend that our fellow 'cue fanatics give it a try.

My first time here was wonderful, the staff was SUPER friendly! I explained that I walked over from next door and was getting car repairs and that it was my first time here and they took their time and explained the menu to me, told me I can stay and hang out as long as I want while my car was being repaired and stay in the A/C, I felt very welcomed! I am from Memphis, TN and that pulled pork sandwich felt like HOME! I will be back! Thanks guys for a great experience 😊 First impressions mean a lot to me and yours was excellent! Very clean and even the restrooms were spotless! Thanks again 😄

This place is amazing! After visiting the Ft. Worth botanical gardens, I decided to try out one more BBQ place before we travelled to our next stop. We got there right as they opened, thus beating the crowd. We ordered the Three Meat choice which included 3 slices of brisket, 2 pork ribs and 1 german sausage. We got two sides with that but we wanted to try more so we had coleslaw (of course), collard greens, their creamed corn, and potato salad. All were wonderful. The slaw was especially good. Now, the meats: brisket was tender and very flavorful, the ribs were meaty and tasty, and my wife (the sausage savant) thought the sausage was fabulous. Great service at the order counter (it’s a walk-up, order and take to your table place). Friendly and upbeat. Clean and neat. Great photos and illustrations all over the walls made for some perfect atmosphere. We highly recommend this place!

A friend was back in Texas from out of state, between the two of us we had ribs, sliced beef, chopped beef, German sausage and jalapeno cheese sausage. Everything was delicious and there was plenty leftover to take home. Even the sides were good. The person helping us made sure I got fresh macaroni and cheese and we also had beans and fries. Normally I don't order macaroni and cheese from a restaurant but theirs was actually delicious when hot. Wish they had an Arlington location.
