Absolutely outstanding! Visited here with a friend who has been raving about this place for you a while. All I knew about this place was that the cookies were outstanding because he would bring me one on occasion. Walked into a very nice atmosphere and amazing and polite staff. The food is top-notch, perfectly smoked to perfection, nice and juicy cuts of meaty happiness. Then, to top off my meal, the chocolate chip cookie I had been waiting for did not disappoint. I will definitely be making a trip back!

Never tried this place before this review but I did get food to go a while back so I'm just now leaving a review. This was honestly probably the worst barbecue I've ever had. I mean I didn't even finish it that day. The potato salad was so bad that I got Walmart potato salad instead. The flavoring of everything was just off. Ribs were not it but I forced myself to eat some of the meat. Brisket was just dry as hell. Sausage was nasty as well. Plate ended up in the trash upside down but they tried, barbecue isn't for everyone.

Cousins has three locations in Fort Worth. 1st time to visit the Bryant Irvin location. Nice atmosphere, spacious, inviting and well decorated. They offer dine-in and take out options. Menu seems a little different than the other location I've tried on Mc cart Ave. The meat was a little heavy on the salt side. My other dinner companions felt the same as well with the side items also. I would definitely give them another try because I really liked the atmosphere and service, very accommodating.

I wanted some good Texas Barbecue and I found it! I was greeted by the nicest bearded gentleman who made sure I got exactly what I wanted. I've been mostly eating lots of salads lately, but I wanted to have a serving of brisket so I ordered the salad with the brisket on top for $15. That was the most tender and delicious brisket that I've ever had. The meat was so tender that when I stabbed it with my fork it literally fell apart. And the barbecue sauce just enhanced the flavor. It was topped with two crispy fried onion rings. The bowl of salad was a hefty serving and I literally took half home in a to go box. I also ordered a serving of peach cobbler for $5 and took that to go also. It was a great dessert to have later in my hotel room. And finally a sweet tea. What a great meal to have as my last dinner in Texas before heading home. I'm definitely getting some barbecue from here the next time I'm in town.

Absolutely delicious!!! Super cool spot . The baked beans were the best I ever had. I would definitely try it if u got the chance. The BBQ sauce was not my favorite. But everything else was amazing! Oh and the jalapeno cheddar sausage was to die for!!! Best I ever had in my life!
