"I have been here multiple times over the years for lunch. Food has always been good. This was rhe first time I came here since it was sold to new owners. The old owners were alot friendlier when you came in. The barbecue sandwich seemed like it had less meat than normal. Sides were good. I will be back."

"We visited Fat Cow BBQ because of the positive Google reviews. According to the menu, Fat Cow has won the Best of Denton County every year 2015 - 2019. After tasting the brisket, we understand why. The chopped and sliced brisket has a wonderful smoky flavor. No BBQ sauce needed. I order the 1 meat plate with 2 sides and a roll. My dining companion ordered the sandwich and 2 sides. Very flavorful and a good value. We highly recommend brisket along with the Mac & cheese, baked beans, and Cole slaw sides. During our visit, most customers seemed to be regulars (based on how the owner greeted them) and ordered a 1/2 pound of meat and a side. The sandwich bread and rolls are tasty and fresh, but I’m going with the 1/2 pound meat at my next visit. The restaurant has a nice rustic decor, located at the end of a strip shopping center. Definitely worth a visit."

"Decided to visit this place based on the reviews. Immediately welcomed by the owner Allen who had the most amazing personality and made some great recommendations. Definitely try the brisket tacos with the bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeño in the middle. Probably the best taco I’ve had in my entire life!"

"The ribs were pull apart tender, and the pulled pork was nice and juicy, but the chicken was a little bit dry. The Coleslaw was a tasty side dish and the Mac and cheese was heavenly. Over all 4 out of 5 meal, just wish I would have grabbed more sauce on the way out after picking up the order."

"Absolutely incredible. Awesome brisket, flavorful Jalapeno cheese sausage, awesome jalapeño poppers, really tasty barbecue sauce. Great potato salad only thing that I wasn’t a huge fan of the mac & cheese because it was kind of watery, but it still had great flavor."

"I had ordered from Fat Cow BBQ. We had their ribs, brisket , spicy pinto beans and corn as sides. The ribs fell off the bone and had flavor , the brisket was chopped which was new to me. The spicy pinto beans was flavorful and had good flavor of jalapeno. The corn was ok. Surely a 'might try again' place."
