The best BBQ in Coastal Bend! Tribute to Joe Cotten’s and continues the outstanding tradition established just down the road.
Mike Cotten's BarbecueMay 22, 2015Cotten's is open again and serving the mesquite smoked barbecue that made us famous For catering, call Cecil Cotten at 361-877-1936. This South Texas tradition is back!- RandyMarch 19, 2010Bring your cash! They don't take plastic/checks. They have ATM in case you forget. They have no menus because its all bbq. Get 3-meat for $11.95 w/ choice of brisket, pork rib, sausage & sliced pork.
Demetri KaragasMay 21, 2013Mixed plate is way to go. They'll offer you complementary meat one you finish!
Amanda CareyJune 14, 2015Strange place. No menus. They do a "verbal menu" BBQ sauce is terrible. Basically canned tomatoes and some seasonings that taste nothing like BBQ. Store bought potato salad Sucked. Do not recommend
Dennis BehneFebruary 21, 2012This placed burned down 3/2/12. But the cook has a little BBQ trailer a couple of blocks away.
Sam SimpsonAugust 10, 2013Wasn't all that, the meets were good but that was about it. They need to also serve a better BBQ sauce. Mac's BBQ in corpus is much better.
RebeccaNovember 5, 2010This place has gone downhill. The rib was rock hard and, holy cow, was it an expensive meal! $15+ for a two-meat plate and a tea. Save your money and skip Joe Cotten.
