“ Cotton State BBQ was delicious! We experienced the Downtown food truck.The BBQ sauce is an award winning recipe and I will tell you I dont really care for too many bbq sauces but this sauce was bomb! The crinkle fries were seasoned and actually crispy! I get dissapointed with crinkles usually because they arent crisp enough. My family loved the cheese fries and brisket fries! ”
“ A small restaurant but amazing food. Get the chips with queso and the brisket baked potato. I added coleslaw the waitress called it alabama style. Sweet tea is so good add the Peach flavor. ”
“ We were downtown today for the fountain anniversary celebration and decided to try this place out. The service was excellent with very friendly young ladies taking care of the tables. We had the pork loaded fries and chicken baked potato which were prepared quickly and very delicious! We will definitely be back! Note Im only giving 4 stars for the atmosphere and thats because the AC seemed to be struggling. ”
“ BBQ so good you dont need the sauce, but the sauce is delicious. Dont let the exterior fool you, go on inside and eat. Dont be late they close at 2 p.m. it is worth the drive for lunch. ”
“ Just grabbed lunch here. They now have a wing plate and a rib plate! I got wings and my buddy got the ribs. He said they were good also. Will def be back. ”
“ Enjoyed a nice sammy with a side of fries and cole slaw. The fries were improved with the seasoning and the slaw wasnt sweet and full of mayo. They werent your average sides and this isnt your average BBQ. Give them a try and see why. ”
“ Respectably good BBQ located in downtown Mobile. We stopped by there before visiting USS Alabama. Weve never been to Mobile so we just did a blind search on google map and found this place. We were concerned about parking but we easily found a spot. It was a nice day so we had our food to go and ate at the park next door. Im not sure about their services but the interior seems pretty nice for a BBQ joint. Everything we had was good. They packed us some coleslaw not sure if it was their normal thing to do and it was great. ”
“ Absolutely loved the food!! Its pretty small inside, but dont let that fool you. I had the truly chicken salad sandwich and fries and man, oh man was it delicious. The fries are seasoned perfectly and the sandwich had the perfect balance. My family and I enjoyed every bit of our meal and the staff is so nice! ”
