    Turkey 1 meat plate bbq beans, potato salad
    Tabetha R.

    Food was great, service was prompt and polite! Worth the drive out. Turkey was the best I've found in a very long time. Will be back.

    Cowboys barbecue is the second barbecue spot that I've tried since moving to Azle Texas. I was there today with Cheyenne and her two small children and we all ordered different things. First we got the Childs play with the chopped meat sandwich, which at five dollars is a pretty good bargain and it will feed two kids. Next, Cheyenne ordered the pork rib sandwich, with fries. I ordered a two meat plate and got chopped brisket and pulled pork with potato salad, fried okra, and barbecue beans. Cheyenne raved about the pork rib sandwich, and I must say it looked delicious. The two-year-old & the four-year-old consumed just about all of the child's plate, and the four-year-old claimed it was great. My plate with the chopped brisket & the pulled pork was perfect. Part of that was due to the really tasty barbecue sauce that was provided with the meat. The okra was cooked perfectly & it was crisp and not soggy. The potato salad is a mustard-based salad, which I prefer personally, my only criticism would be I would've liked more texture in the potato salad because it was mashed potato salad, and I prefer chunky salad with pieces of potato and eggs easily seen in the salad itself. I like a little Paprika in my potato salad also, and while there may have been some I couldn't actually taste it. But overall the salad was pretty good, and the baked beans I had we're not bad either, but I prefer Black Eyed Peas myself as a choice. The place was nicely set up and easy to get to, and clean. The folks who own and run it were very friendly, and I look forward to going back and eating some more of their good barbecue. I highly recommend that you try this place, because I know you'll enjoy it.

    Brisket?

    Saw 5 star reviews online and put Cowboy's on my "must try" list. A 2-hour trip to get there but a disappointment. No smoke ring, irregular texture in the pound I got. Not real tender. Taste like roast beef sliced with some liquid smoke flavor. PS - I asked for a bitesize sample before purchase but they said no. I trusted the reviews. :(

    First of all what a hidden gem and honestly never knew about this place till I just happened to…read morechat gpt spots to eat in Decatur. Was visiting for the day and figured why not I love a good challenge. Boy did it not disappoint the outside well let me back up its hidden in a parking lot of some establishments that I can't remember off the top of my head but when you arrive just know you gotta keep an eye out for this place. The staff was super friendly and very welcoming the ordering prices was nice as well very clear cut and doesn't make you feel rushed. Service was quick to I got it to go and it was right at open but I can tell at any moment this place will be popping. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was amazing as were the ribs. The rub on it was fantastic it was euphoric but man only two pieces. The Mac and cheese for me is the star even though I like my Mac and cheese like a cardi b song the bread crumbs made up for it. Now the downside. The banana pudding. I'm a stickler for a banana pudding. This isn't it yall. Skip it at five dollars it's just not worth it. No nilla waffers not actual banana pieces in it. No layered whip. Just it's not my thing it might be for some but my banana pudding standards are thru the roof. The ambiance is great plenty of seating inside and looks amazing. From the outside you'll be like what the heck but once inside you'll feel like man I'm here for something special. Minus the banana pudding. What a great find and this town is lucky to have this place in its home.

    Driving around Texas eating BBQ on the Texas Monthly Top 50 so we had to drop by North Texas Smoke…read more I knew that this place was popular and might sell out fast so I started calling and DM this place as we really did want so brisket. The problem occurred when we showed up and were told that they were out of Brisket. After a brief conversation with the lady taking orders and the pit master they were able to find us some chopped and sliced brisket, THANK YOU. The brisket was good as were the ribs but the star of the show was the boudin. We got our order to go. So the process is order and pay out 1 window then wait to hear your name so that you can get your order. When we visited the place was hard to find and we drove past it once as they did not have a sign. It's a nice place and the food was good. My recommendation try hard to order early and call them several times before they run out of brisket.

We just had BBQ yesterday from Terry Blacks. Today's experience was phenomenal. The folks were super nice. They have Texas Twinkie's...my absolute favorite. Theirs is 5 stars. Smoked perfectly. They weren't over powered with cheese. I ordered ham. It looked dry and I was worried when she was slicing it. It was anything but dry. Smoked perfectly and tasty. I loved it. Great flavor. The brisket was fatty, tender and pull apart deliciousness. My sis loved her pulled pork sandwich. Proudly exclaimed 5 stars! We tried their jalapeño Mac n cheese, green beans, coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans and macaroni salad. The Mac n cheese. Heavenly and the best I've had in Texas. We loved their potato salad. I'm telling you it was perfection. It's a mashed potato salad...and I'd argue like the Mac n cheese the best I've ever had. Coleslaw was creamy and not too sweet and we also really liked their macaroni salad. 2 things. Green beans weren't seasoned. Super bland. And I'm not a fan of how they prepackage their sides and you grab it out of the warmer or cooler. Their sides are some of the best in DFW. Let people see the product. Preparing them ahead gives a generic look and feel. I almost forgot the banana pudding. Soooo good. A must try! I liked that the lady stopped by and how everything was...it was warm and genuine. Bottom line 5 stars. We really really enjoyed it. We will back!

Great setting and establishment, I just wish the taste was there. This company knows how to draw you in with their appealing twinkies and brisket display. However, that's all. They could improve by adding more flavor. Maybe salt, pepper, hints of spices, garlic, onion powder, something. Eliminate the banana pudding and desserts. Update the sides by adding something different. With some change, they will run Terry Black some true competition.

They also have three pool tables and TVs. The menu is extensive and the prices reasonable for BBQ. Seems like a favorite of the locals. I though they would be playing C&W, but they had 60's and 70's music on. The squeeze and I split a two meat plate with brisket and sausage and two sides, cowboy cole slaw and Rooster Tails (Deep fried onion petals). The brisket was moist and very tender, with a slight smokiness. The sausage was deeply smoked, sliced in half and charred a bit on the flattop. The slaw and Rooster Tails were really good. A nice slightly spicy dip was served with the onions. Good BBQ sauce for the brisket, and they also had a wall of pain with some choice hot sauces on it. I didn't partake, since I have a flight to catch in the morning. They brought a second plate for no charge. The squeeze had a canned IPA and I had a Shiner Bock draft for libations. We really enjoyed the meal. Morgan was an excellent server and didn't try to shoo us out even though more customers were coming in. I wish I lived around here so I could try the other items on the menu.

However, all the sides were okay, they weren't that good compared to other smokehouses. The mac n cheese was alright, you need to put on so much BBQ sauce to make it taste better. All of this costed $200+, so pretty average price since we had a big group. Personally, I had better BBQ elsewhere so I would not come back.
