Best BBQ
The Cowboy Way
Best brisket!! Great food and service...yum!
"No, no, no, no, no (shaking head in disappointment). I found this place on Yelp, told my friends about it and we headed straight over, boy was I embarassed! After the 1 hour wait for our food I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into the dinosaur bones they put in front of me! ..." - Feb 25, 2011
"The food was good but portions small . Live band was blues and took a lot of smoke breaks. Service was over sad. Prices were high for what we got. The parking was IMPOSSIBLE! We had to park around back, Following the signs... we walked down a pathway that was like walking ..." - Feb 20, 2011

"We just ate at the new location on North Palm Canyon (across from "Ricks"). A large, new dining room with a lovely outlook to a pool. I had the Baby Back ribs which were excellent. Good portions and certainly the best BBQ option in town." - Nov 14, 2010

"OK, so we said my husband made... We had to go to a family picnic, no time to spend 5-6 hours smokin' the pork. Called Sue on Friday night, picked up 4 pounds of pork and fixen's at noon on Saturday. (Thanx Mandy). Your pulled pork was the hit of the party. ..." - May 18, 2010

"The Cowboy Way in Palm Springs rustles up some of the best barbecue in the valley. The focus is on the food, not fancy décor or table settings. In fact, there are no tables — just a wrap-around counter, built-in stools and big portions. As owner Daniel Placencia says,"

"This is my favorite kind of restaurant - Mom and Pop ethnic. This is not a posh restaurant. Not a cookie cutter chain - no table cloths, no candles, to low lights, just simple tables and chairs. Service was neither speedy nor elegant. But you knowsoul food doesn't taste ..." - Jan 8, 2011

"I really wanted to like this place - I was hoping to find a good BBQ joint...but this one is average, at best. They advertise draft beer specials on their banner, and when you get inside, they have nothing on draft. I wanted to order the dinner special listed at the top ..." - Nov 13, 2010

"We frequent the Palm Desert area every summer - glutton for punishment in the heat. Always drive down the 111 hwy and see this place - so decided to give it a try. Smoker out front promised good BBQ, by the smoke and smell. The first indication of trouble - wait 10 minutes for ..." - Aug 20, 2010

YUM. If you want a quieter, less frenzied dining experience, ask to be seated in the "wine cellar" area. My husband, inlaws, and three young kids ate here while on vacation and genuinely LOVED the food!
"a few days ago and I'm really I liked it as much as I did. There were a few minor problems at first, the lighting was so dim in the section we were sitting in that we couldn't read the menu and there was a woman channeling a megaphone a few tables away. ..." - Jul 3, 2011
"Louise ribs. The ribs were good and all the sides (coles slaw, sweet potatoe fries, baked yam and baked beans) were very tasty. It might have been nice if they brought us some corn bread or chili as a free appetizer. The waiter was great, even brought us some free ice-cream. ..." - Jun 26, 2011

"The place was half empty but still service was poor. Seemed like a staffing issue. Tables filled up as we were leaving and around 2pm on a holiday Tues there was a wait. The food was great. BBQ salad was fresh and good flavors with pulled pork on top. Cornbread rocked- so ..." - Dec 28, 2010
