Cowboys BBQ

The girls that cook and serve are awesome, food always top notch!

The ribs and pulled pork are to die for!
Fried Mushrooms are out of this world!

Great family run business with incredible food and hospitality. Support these great local businesses . Y'all go see them.

When I review BBQ in Texas I always note which level BBQ I'm rating. This is not the Snow's, Heim, Franklin type of BBQ.

This is local BBQ, and it's delicious. In little hole in the wall, just off the main street of Boyd, TX is one of the better BBQ joints in the area... and certainly one of the very best in Wise County. It clearly qualifies as a hidden gem!

Now... let me speak BBQ to you (for all of you that speak BBQ): The pulled pork was served with NO SAUCE on it! My brother-in-law commented that he had never seen such a thing! I agreed, and commented it was a very BOLD move! And it was certainly a strong showing! Not dried out, plenty of flavor, and enough bark to make me smile! If you think you can cook BBQ... that's a very HARD test to pass... and Walter did it w/ flying colors! Welcome to Texas BBQ 101!!

While we are on meats... 3 meat platter w/ fixin's for $15.00. Killer prices! The smoked bologna blew us away. Smokey, moist, flavorful... if you have never had it... this place will ruin you for most everywhere else! Jalapeno sausage and sliced brisket were just as good!

2 more things made this place stand out:
1. Coleslaw. Not overdressed, not too vinegary, not too much mayonnaise, not too sweet! Closer to a salad, as God intended! A prefect cleansing bite when you are moving between meats!
2. Potato Salad. Mustard style. Not too heavy, not too vinegary... it was mild enough that you could just eat it by itself! And I mean a LOT of it!

We probably each were almost completely done before we remembered they brought sauce on the side! I'm not even gonna worry about telling you there was sauce!

While yes, they could use a few fly strips (I can say this about any place that has REAL smoked meats), it's seriously good BBQ.

One of the only 5 STARs for BBQ in the area! Well done! Plus, it's #ShopLocal

I had the brisket grilled cheese sandwich with fries. He had the Tayter with brisket, baked beans, cheese and BBQ sauce.
I didn't know brisket could be tender! The BBQ sauce had just the right amount of kick.

Make sure to say hello to the staff. They treated me like family from the get go!

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.

I had stopped several times to try their ribs. They were always out. Finally got by early enough to get some ribs and was terribly disappointed. Not only did I have to wait 20 minutes for my order, because they said they lost my ticket, the food was microwaved! Which after she found my ticket she forgot my order again in the microwave. The waitress was very rude when I complained. Told me I had not been waiting that long. She said she could check the ticket. Which I told her to go ahead check the ticket. Definitely won't be going back. And will tell everyone I know.

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. :(

No words just and expression
BUT I did learned something new today I didn't know that grilled rubbery chicken breast was considered BBQ. The potato salad was sour and possibly spoiled, the fries were soggy. Just not what I expected.

Stop here for first time on way home to get my wife something to eat.
The server was nice, but had to wait 10 minutes.
I should have checked order before leaving.
The food was dried out and horrible.
Looked like it was microwaved.
Definitely won't be going back.

Best BBQ in Wise County! I've been to all the big famous bbq joints all across Texas and their meats are not a bit better. Cowboys ribs are exceptionally good!
Just so everyone knows, the Hiram guy that gave it one star is from California. We all know how they are. Lol
