Great food and beyond great service by Elijah. He's a member of the family that owns the place, he loves food and helping people. I'd have given 5 stars but the chicken wasn't ready by 2pm as it was supposed to have been. It's not a fancy place but they make up for it with food and service. The portions were enough for 3 days depending on your appetite. The taste of the food was awesome and I love their sauces. I look forward to going back again and trying some other items. P. S. The funnel cakes fries are perfection and so much easier to eat than traditional funnel cake yummmmmm.

If you want quick BBQ this is the place. It's not the best I have ever had. But staff is friendly and fun. Clean place.

So I just ate here twoish hours ago(7/28/23), and i gotta say that was probably the best BBQ i've ever had. Actually i just finished my leftovers from lunch, not heated back up mind you, and it was still absolutely delicious. I will not have another BBQ joint come to mind when i am craving ribs or brisket from this day forth. The food - Amazing The service - Elijah was a pleasure to speak to. He was polite, respectful, and jovial. The atmosphere - real hometown, holeinthewall feeling. And if you want to know the area gossip just put away your phone (you will have limited cell service anyway) and quietly eat your food. All in all I really enjoyed this place. You should seriously eat here.

Good place in an off the grid spot. So off the grid I forget it's there. Like I wanted BBQ the other day and went to place in Covington square when I should have remembered Cowboys was closer. My fault... or lack of advertising on theirs... but this place is aces. Highly recommended.

As much as I love Hot Wings they often escape my attention on the menu especially when my eyes are all misty with thoughts of Barbecue. Such was thus at Cowboy's. That is until today. Cautiously, I ordered the Five piece with Fries and they weren't half bad. True, they weren't exactly crisp and lacked anything even resembling heat, but not bad. Will I order them again? I don't know, their Pulled Pork and Brunswick Stew is just too tempting.

Wonderful little place! Food was great and service was even better! So glad they are still open during COVID. Only carry out, but they do have a small outdoor picnic table area. Would love to come back when the dining area is open again!

I was looking for some BBQ between Atlanta and Augusta and found Cowboys South of Covington. It does share a building with a gas station but is separate. The place is decked out in cowboy attire everywhere on the wall. But the place is too quiet. Just the absence of music in the background made something feel missing. I chose the brisket platter with baked potato salad and mac and cheese. The brisket was phenomenal! It was easy to chew, juicy, good flavor, a good rub on the outside, and all 3 sauces tasted wonderful with it. Speaking of sauces, all were mar-vel-ous. There is a spicy red tomato base one that I think I liked the best, a Honey, and a Sweet and Tangy mustard base. The baked potato salad was made with sour cream and chives. I always love that stuff. The mac and cheese was recommended to me by the waitress and she made a good choice. It was very good homemade mac and cheese. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! You may ask what is keeping Cowboys from getting a 5 star? Simple....maybe my biggest pet peeve with a BBQ joint...STINGINESS with the meat! My brisket plate was $10.99 and for that, I received 3 strips of meat that I ate in 9 bites and I really had to stretch it to 9 bites. That's over a $1 per bite. I wouldn't mind paying a $1 or $2 more if I would get more meat. That is why I come to a BBQ joint. I don't want to leave not feeling satisfied. And to add to it, both of my sides were premium sides that costed an extra 50 cents a piece. Everything was great about Cowboys especially the way it tasted but if I'm going to leave and feel like I was not given a good size portion for what I pay, I'm likely not to return. I also would have shared this opinion of mine in person in a polite way if someone at the end would have asked me, "How was everything?" But no one asked so I didn't share except on Yelp!
