Possibly the best tuna in the state. I wasn't sure what to expect from the looks of the outside. Very nondescript even somewhat sketchy. I definitively wasn't expecting such a lovely dining room. And the beer selection? Out of this world!

Awesome boudin balls!!! Coming from NY I had never had one before but I'm sure glad I did.

This might be a somewhat unfair review because I am half Lebanese, and grew up eating some of the best from my full blooded Lebanese grandmother and mother. Here goes: upon arrival the outside and area where this restaurant is located leaves much to be desired. However once inside, it is really very nice! I ordered the hummus and pita bread, rolled grape leaves, and a salad. The bread and hummus was very tasty. The rolled grape leaves were dry however. The salad was nice size and good. The service so/so. I would try it again and order something else just to be fair.

This place is a bit hard to find (at least for us) because its in a corner by another building but it is definitely worth the drive. We ordered boudin balls for appetizer and they were amazing. All of our food arrived promptly and tasted excellent. The service was great and the price is very fair. I really liked the atmosphere as well and the entire restaurant and restrooms were very clean.

Awesome food. Got the grouper special and it changed my life. My wife got a sandwich special that she thoroughly enjoyed as well. Pretty good service as well. Drinks were strong as well, which is always a plus.

This local place was recommended by the hotel staff. I had the Ahi Tuna- it was delicious. The seasoning is mouth watering. The bar is a nice place to sit if dining alone, and the staff and owner make you feel at home. Thanks for a great experience!

I agree with the other reviews that say this place is hard to find, and even "sketchy" looking on the outside. You can barely read the sign! However, it's worth it!! It's beautiful inside with a decent beer/wine selection. The food was excellent, (burger and chicken schwarma), and boudin balls were some of the best I've had. However, the service was a little appalling. I'm not sure if our waitress was new or what- she told us they didn't carry a beer that we clearly saw the tap for- and saw being poured- and then, even argued with us about it until anther waitress corrected her! I asked if any of the shawarmas could be served on a wrap instead of poboy bread, like an actual schawarma, and she kept saying "well the kitchen will do it if I beg them." Like...ok? Is that a yes or no? I couldn't get a straight answer, so I ordered the wrap and let her beg, I guess. Fortunately the food made up for her service.

Came here based on reviews and we were not disappointed with the food. Party of 3 seated when we arrived around 6:45 on a Tuesday night. It was $3 draft and martini night so the bar was very busy. Menu was a wide variety of Mediterranean, Greek and Lebanese fare. Hummus was great with homemade pita. Kabobs in both beef and chicken were very good and the rice that came with them was outstanding. Fried falafel with homemade sauce was good as well. Service was friendly and accommodating. I would have given this restaurant 5 stars but it was so noisy it was difficult to carry on a conversation at our table. The music behind the bar was blaring and everyone was yelling to talk over it. A few acoustic panels, rugs or sound absorbing wall hangings would make a big difference. Until they get the noise down, even though the food was great I would recommend passing on this restaurant.

Nice place, the Boudin Balls were the best on the menu and the Ribeye Burger was not bad either. Aside from an unfriendly wait staff it is definitely a place worth checking out if you like Lebanese food.

Beers are cheap and large. Good selection of beer. Wait staff is made of telepathic aliens with amazing accents. PS: ask them to say boudin balls (which are delicious). All good I have eaten there has been delicious. Hard to find. Look for the expensive cars. Baklava will out you to sleep if you eat it all.
(5)DC M.
Wasn't overjoyed with the food- we ordered grape leaves- they were OK, not the best I have had in LC. The hummus was bland. We also ordered chicken livers- they were well seasoned, and mine were over cooked. After waiting 54 minutes our food arrived less than warm (not cold) just less than warm. Really disappointed with the service and the food.

I was a bit nervous when we pulled in to the parking lot. There was only one other car. The sign looked washed out and the place looked vacant. After entering to the dining room I felt like it was something off an episode of The Blacklist. Elegant... great atmosphere... large TVs.. cloth napkins... interior does not match exterior. I got cousins special po boy with rib eye shrimp and jalapeños. Onion rings were great and were served with horseradish dipping sauce. Very well seasoned. Good stuff!
(4)Guy D.
Great food, original and creative menu. Love it. Beautiful bar and good wine selection. TOO COLD inside, A/C cranked to zero....food gets cold quick and customers are miserable unless they're drinking. Most restaurants facilitate this faux paus...they keep the staff happy and customers freezing. Still the ribeye burger, oysters, shrimp and salads are the best. Owners with personality and loyal following. Try the bacon wrapped sausage/dates...big hit.

Great place to eat! Food is priced on the higher end, but is well worth it. The atmosphere is ok, but it could use an upgrade. There is the appearance of trying to be a sports bar and a restaurant all at the same time.

Have been there for dinner and lunch now. The host doesn't seem to always be at the desk, so feel free to skip it and walk on into this place. Really good food and a solid beer selection--had the beef shawarma and a glass of Delirium Tremens on tap. Shawarma was good enough for a repeat-performance. Get it with everything. My buddies both went for the spicy steak sandwich on the lunch menu and said it was killer. At dinner, the kibbie was a little weird--like it was breaded in corn dog batter or something, and some of the architectural choices are really tacky (and not in an intentional-kitschy way). It looks like paving stones were hot-glued to the front of the building, and the dining area is surrounded by big televisions slapped onto undecorated, blank drywall. The centerpiece of the restaurant is this huge, beautiful custom bar on the 4th wall, which seems totally out of place with the rest of the building (again featuring a giant eyesore TV). The bathroom ceilings are low enough to cause taller patrons to duck. Good place to eat lunch with your buddies, but too tacky for a date. There's potential there, but it needs some work. Service was okay at dinner, great at lunch.

Great bar and wine/beer/ liquor list. The best lists in town...and how can it not be, it's connected to one of the better liquor stores in town. Solid lebanese food, good prices. Their lamb kabob and rice was outstanding, but I must say that the tabouli didn't have any wheat, which was odd to us. The place is affordable too.
(5)Amy B.
First time impression was tasty but over-priced for value... we had: 1) stuffed grape leaves with dip as appetizer= excellent, perfect taste, value, & size (6 for $5) 2) chicken schwarma sandwich wraps with potatoes $7 = taste great, but way too small amount of filling in wraps (chicken & veggies). I was so disappointed b/c several ppl had told me how awesome this place is, and don't get me wrong, the food tasted great, but the portion size of the sandwich filling was so small, causing it to seem a little dry even. I saw other ppl had kabobs, which looked good (those start at ~$14). Wanted to try the pistachio baklava, but they were out. Huge wine & beer list & have game night specials. 4 big TVs with the same 2 channels on (ESPN 1&2). Casual sporty feel. Everything was fresh & of good quality, we both felt like they were very skimpy on the meat & veggies in the wraps. Our waiter was slow, but he was also serving an 8 person table. (I will be returning to my favorite place across from the mall instead, their wraps are big for $6, minus the side of starchy potatoes- plus they serve Lebanese tea.)

I made my first trip to Cousin's today. I had heard it was good, but I wasn't prepared for exactly how good it is. I had the grape leaves and a gyro sandwich, and both were the best I have ever tasted. I've had lebanese food all over the U.S. and my best friends father is a first generation U.S. citizen from Lebanon that had his own restaurant for awhile and even his did not touch the quality of Cousin's. The building it is in is newly built and is pretty nice on the inside. There is a beautiful bar with plenty of seats, a vast array of whiskey, and a good number of beers on tap. The service was decent, but could have been better. That's understandable though as they haven't been open for very long. If you like Lebanese food, you owe it to yourself to stop by Cousin's and taste the wonderful flavors they are cooking up.

This place is not easy to find, but well worth the trouble. We got the "Lebenese Way" combination dinner and it was just right for me, my wife and my 8 year old in terms of the amount of food. The quality of the food was excellent. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, some of the best Mediterranean food I have had. Loved the meats, the hummus and everything else. For a dessert they gave us Baklava which was also fine. Highly recommended.

So happy I finally got to try out Cousin's! It was not what I expected seeing it from the outside. It was really nice inside with a beautiful bar. Service was very quick, which is great for my lunch hour and our waitress was very nice. We got there at 12 and it wasn't too crowded. I had the chicken shwarma po-boy, moist chicken breast with cheese, garlic sauce and a mix of pickles, pickled turnups, chopped tomato, and onion and came with a side of fried potatoes for $7.99. My husband had the ribeye burger, topped with feta, cheddar, spring mix and garlic sauce. Delicious! His was also served with a side of potatoes for $12.99 including the drink.
