Coles Bar-B-Q - Fairfield (TX)

2 /5 Frank Miner: Coles, what the heck happened to you?? Ate there five years ago and it was awesome. Ate there in Dec ‘25 & the place has really gone to the dogs. First of all, Miss V is awesome & serves a great meal, but I found the food quality had dropped quite a bit. Filthy eating area, food all over dining area floor, dirty tables, broken soda machine, ice tea had questionable “stuff” floating in both tea urns (with a very bad off taste) and the entire store area was in very bad disarray. Very sad to see a place that was once a great BBQ stop to be so unhealthy looking & poorly kept. I do not recommend eating there.

1 /5 Angelyn Morris: NASTY!!!! This used to be our favorite spot to stop every trip but I will NEVER be back after today. At least half of my chopped beef sandwich was large chunks of fat! If you do decide to purchase a chopped beef sandwich, watch the prep and inspect your sandwich before you leave. They had a nice pile of sliced brisket for "show" on the chopping board. What I got I wouldnt feed to my dog. I used to be able to get over how year after year they are even more run down than the last, but it just looks disgusting inside now. The service was awful, almost like we were an inconvenience to the young man who took my order and prepared our food. $24 for 2 fat filled sandwiches, definitely not worth it or the time it took to stop.

2 /5 Without Limitations: 5 points for hospitality and kindness but the turkey sandwich I just ate gets a 2 and my fries where barley cooked. Sorry ladies I have to be honest. It was very very dry hard to eat. Everything else looked good tho, I’m just reviewing the turkey. BBQ sauce has good flavor

1 /5 C.Valentine Randolf: Was Once the Best BBQ in Central Texas. O purchased 4 brisket sandwiches it was so greasy it leaked thru the bag so Bad it damaged my upholstery. Smoky flavor was good but the salt level was way to high.

5 /5 Guidry Chris (Educator): I ordered the two meat plate with sliced beef and pulled pork. The meet was tender and excellent. The fried okra was hot and fresh. The green beans were excellent and not too salty. I got cornbread with the meal. The cornbread muffins were good. It was a ton of food for $14. I will be stopping here again.
