Small, but cozy. The food didn't take long. The staff was friendly. The place was clean. And the food itself was great. Thanks!Parking: The venue is a bit hidden. The parking is in the back. The restaurant is beside Rowan Park.

Spot on BBQ with a couple of twists. Pulled pork tacos with their jalapeno coleslaw and avocado creme.Perfectly cooked brisket with jalapeno slaw, mac-n-chese and homemade pickles.

Everything is always great ! Burnt ends on Thursday are the best make sure you get there early before they sell out ! Best brisket around !

This place deserves something more like 6/5 stars. We’re not from the area, we were in town for a few days for work so we had a limited amount of time to enjoy foods that are only found here. Boy are we glad we made this one of our stops!Everyone knows that good barbecue is what keeps the earth turning round, but this barbecue goes wayyyyyy beyond merely being “good.” We all agreed that this stuff is what you get served if you make to heaven in the afterlife. ????

Delicious barbecue. My wife and I both got pulled pork sandwiches with different toppings and they were both really good. Our sides of potato salad and collards were also good.Staff is friendly and food comes out quick. The owner was walking around talking to guests. Friendly guy.I suggest showing up right when they open. They get busy. Also, Thursday is when they have burnt ends.

Great little place to grab some good BBQ. Brisket, chicken and pork. I had the chicken and the wife had brisket and both are good yes I grabbed some brisket when she went to get napkins. So my advice is to grab napkins before sitting down. No Pepsi or coke but Boylan drinks

Absolutely the best BBQ! Loved the J*** Chicken Tacos!!! Had a wonderful lunch on our trip up 95 from a visit to SC. If you are in Fayetteville,NC do not mss this wonderful place. Wade Fowler is an awesome man! You will truly miss out if you don’t stop!!!

By far the best BBQ in Fayetteville! Haven’t had anything from them that I haven’t wanted again!

Very good BBQ. I had brisket, and pork ribs with Mac and Cheese and BBQ baked beans. The brisket was tender, however it was more lean than I prefer. I like the fatty side and maybe I should have requested that. Pork ribs were very good. Mac and cheese was not the baked style but was still good. Baked beans was above average. I loved the corn bread. Will be going back soon to try the burnt ends!

Randomly came across Fowler's on a search and decided BBQ would be a good idea. Turned out to be a great idea! My child ate all of his lunch (rare), and I ordered some extra sides to take home. Great drink options to boot!

Fowler's is arguably in the top 3 ever best barbeque restaurants my husband and I have had the pleasure of dining at in our travels together. We came to Fowler's kind of on a whim, but mostly because we wanted to see what kind of barbeque Fayetteville had to offer after my sister said that nothing compares here to what they ate in Georgia (she and her husband haven't had Fowler's yet, mind you). We brought my niece and after turning into the parking lot found that we took the last space. The line was out the door but the nice thing about this is, the establishment itself is so small that the line ahead of us was no more than 8 people deep. Wade was incredibly warm and the menu was concise, to the point, and no frills, which is just what a confident barbeque restaurant should offer. We ordered a full rack of ribs, the brisket, mac and cheese, broccoli salad, and fries. The food came with cornbread and picked. No joke - EVERYTHING was delicious. The brisket was moist and flavorful, and it didn't need to hide behind the sauce. The ribs were tender and gorgeously cooked. The sauce, used by most establishments to hide any deficiencies in their meat mastery, was perfectly spiced and textured. The cornbread, broccoli salad, mac and cheese, and yes the fries - we could taste the care that went into putting these recipes together. To top it all off, Wade was an amazing host. He was so welcoming and wanted to make sure all his guests had a great dining experience. It truly rivals Terry Black's and Franklin's, and in my opinion, tops them because everything from front of house to the meal itself was top notch. We hope to be back soon, Fowler's!

OMG, finally good BBQ in Fayetteville. I love BBQ, it only comes in two types - edible BBQ and Great BBQ. I find most places in Fayetteville serve passable, edible BBQ. Nothing fantastic, nothing wow, until Fowler's! You really need to stop in give a try, good menu, good BBQ sauces and the staff is always friendly, helpful and focused on customer service. It's an all around great experience from start to end!
