One of the best bbqs. The bread is so good too. We happened to stop by for the BBQ on our way to come home. I wish this restaurant is close to my town

Ordered fish and chips and fries, brisket for dinner. TERRIBLE! Fish and chips were so overcooked they looked mummified. The brisket was mostly fat! Save your $.

It had been years since I've been to Cole's, and why? I have no idea but it's back on my favorites list. The blue cheese bacon burger was so good and my hot link had the perfect spice. And the fries are so damn good! Sit outside and watch the world go by while enjoying an awesome meal.

Sadly, while Cole's had been a favorite through the years, the quality has gone down. Recently ordered Pork ribs were undercooked, and tasted more like they were boiled rather then barbecued. Tough, chewy rather than falling off the bone, and they seemed to try and make up for it by slathering in sauce that did not make up for the grease that was dripping all over my hands. I truly hope this was just a bad incident and not the trend of Cole's. For now, I'll go elsewhere. Not recommended.

Chicken was dry. Pulled pork was chewy. Tri tip was a little tough. Garlic fries ok.

Always good always fast but that’s not even the point. It’s that it’s what you expect from it every time. So consistency is good but consistency when you’re good, is best. And they have it

Probably the best BBQ in the area. Service is great. Food Is very good, I love the ribs, chicken and tri tip combo. But everything I've had has been good. Try the coleslaw as a side pretty food. And don't forget the spicy BBQ sauce.
