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.

Sometimes you just gotta have some good ol' fashioned BBQ, and Cousins BBQ hits the spot every time.
It's a no-frills kind of place, but that's exactly what I love about it.
You focus on the delicious smoked meats and classic sides, not a fancy ambiance. Speaking of delicious smoked meats, I recently ventured beyond my usual order and tried their loaded baked potato with brisket.
Let me tell you, it was a revelation! The potato was perfectly fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside, smothered in all the good stuff – cheese, sour cream, and of course, generous portions of their melt-in-your-mouth brisket.
It was a true flavor explosion and a seriously satisfying meal. If you're looking for a casual BBQ experience with fantastic food, Cousins BBQ is a must-try.
Just be prepared to make some tough decisions – their menu is full of tempting options!

Ran across this place because of a YouTube creator. $25 all you can eat BBQ and Sides! Drove the 1.5hrs to get here and it was WELL worth the trip. Food was Hot, fresh, and the service was 11/10. This place does not disappoint!
