Order ahead and pick up. Dine in or sit outside. Food is always great and staff always friendly. I have ordered dinner for my family or a quick hotdog for myself. Always hot and delicious. When we ordered bulk/catering for wings.they were hot when I picked them up and a crowd pleaser. If cobbler (peach) is available.try it.

Local. Friendly staff. Great pricing. good serving size. Plenty of seating. Many great food options. Every time I've been there, the staff remember us and greet us with smiles. Tried something new each time I've been there and am not disappointed. Several times I've eaten there and had enough to bring home for a second meal. Bonus!

Thumbs down! Would never return! Got the brisket family pack. Wasn't impressed at all! Will go back to city barbeque or the other chain spots. It's atleast worth my money.

Chicken was great. Tried multiple different sides with my kids. Had baby back ribs. Great taste, but over cooked. Loved the cabbage, baked beans, Mac and cheese, and green beans. Cobble has a great taste just small portions for price. Overall would still highly recommend this place!
