Old Route 51 South Bbq - Cobden

This place exceeded expectations! We had seen that they received high regards on a Facebook poll so 4 of us went to check it out. One of the top BBQ places I've ever had. Burnt ends, pulled pork nachos topped with baked beans, and smoked ghost pepper sausage were all phenomenal. We will certainly be going back. Can't wait to try the ribs next time. This place is worth making a drive to. Visit area wineries while you're at it!

It is a 2 hour drive for us to go here and this is by far the best BBQ. Brisket, Turkey, Ribs, Pork Steak, Bison burger are all top notch!!!!! Sides are awesome especially the baked beans and Mac and cheese. Don the owner makes everything fresh and if something isn’t up to par he won’t serve it! Great customer service and a top notch place to go!Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome!

This place is absolutely fantastic! We live in South Carolina and are staying in Giant City State Park for the week. Needed a lunch spot and after reading the reviews, we knew this was the place to go! We had the Smoked Chicken sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, baked beans, and coleslaw and all were the best we’ve ever had. Don, the owner, came to chat and tell us his story. Great guy and we enjoyed getting to know him. He brought over a Mac and cheese and burnt ends for us to try and WOW were they good! We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Go try it for yourself, you will not be disappointed!!

By far some of the best bbq I’ve had. The baked beans were awesome and the loaded baked potato was huge and delicious. Very nice and friendly! Will definitely be going back.

Had lunch last Saturday with my wife at RT. 51 BBQ. As always their food and service was on point . Wife had burnt ends and Mac Cheese both were our standing. I had brisket sandwich and the secret side . They side was baked beans with peachesWow could have ate a bunch of thoseThey were so good! Then there was the brisket what can I say? I have ate some excellent brisket several places in the Midwest, big name places and some almost unheard of. None we close to as good as RT 51 BBQ. Perfect flavor and correct texture. Above excellent! To top it off his homemade sauce is spot on. Bottle this sauce. Visit them you will not sorry with anything you eat. Friendly, fast service! How can you beat it.
