Fat Cow Bbq - Lewisville

First time coming here! Let me tell y’all! Their meat was tremendously delicious, any time any day!

Stopped here for lunch while working in the area. I live in Fort Worth, which has a very competitive bbq scene. This place wouldn’t make it out there. The Positives were the man at the counter, which I presumed to be the owner had great customer service. He was laughing, joking and shaking hands with customers. The establishment was extremely clean. Climate was comfortable. Other than those two things which are commendable, it wouldn’t be enough to bring me back and spend money to eat here. I had the three meat plate , which included 2 sides and a roll. Although the portions were fair and price was industry standard for a good bbq joint, the food quality and taste was poor. The people I see in some reviews talking about how great the brisket is must not be used to eating top notch briskets at places like Hurtado, Heim or Terry Blacks amongst others even though this place is pretty identical in pricing . I had ham , which you could tell was a lower quality vendor bought ham, the sliced brisket , which although seemed to have decent bark on it , was extremely bland and even though I got a fattier cut , it was not very moist and on the dry side. The smoked off the bone chicken came to me served as pulled chicken , and although it was the most seasoned thing on the plate, a better way to serve or prepare this would have been sliced breast or simply serving it on the bone. Shredded it was a bit mushy . The sides of green beans had bacon and onion , but were extremely bland with little to no seasoning. The spicy pinto beans had good flavor , but when served to me they were barely luke warm, and by the time I actually got around to eating them they were basically cold. The roll was crusty on the outside but dry on the inside and not soft or fluffy This place has a lot of stepping up to do in terms of seasoning and quality of menu items served. I can see this establishment receiving inflated reviews due to the previously mentioned great customer service, but the food is basically elderly white people food cafeteria food.

The food was fantastic. The management was friendly and great. We're from out of town and wish we had a restaurant like this back home.

I was extremely disappointed. I traveled an hour to visit this restaurant based on the reviews. When I arrived at 5:30, I was surprised to see a note on the door indicating that they had closed at 5:15.

Fat Cow BBQ is an absolute gem! As soon as we walked in, we were greet by Allen (the owner) who made us feel like we were lifelong friends. His passion and love for BBQ was shown through his enthusiasm and great recommendations. We told him we weren’t from the area, and without any further questions he was ready to recommend some of Fat Cow’s best dishes. I had the brisket tacos which were fingerlicking good, LITERALLY! Allen came to our table periodically to check in on us and made the experience that much better. We had to try the ribs, as they were Texas famous Allen spoke highly of them. When I sunk my teeth into them…they melted in my mouth, like sweet Texas butter. This family owned business for 14 years is a must stop location if you are in the Dallas area. 10 out of 10!!! We will for sure be coming back when we’re in the area. Thank you Allen keep spreading love through your amazing delicious food! Next stop: OKC Marathon
