Customer Reviews
If you like old school BBQ service. This is it. You get to pick your own meat. Great side dishes. BBQ served on butcher paper. The food was great. Brisket was tender and juicy. A definite must try if you haven't had it. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
This place rocked!!! It’s barbecue so be prepared to pay but it was some of the best BBQ my wife has ever had!!!! We don’t do pork so we were a bit limited but the beef ribs were the shiz-nit!!! Sides were solid, brisket was cooked excellently and we had a whole chicken which had a good combination of smoke and spice. All in all this is a well balanced BBQ place and it shows that they cook with care and love.❤️
AMAZING vinegar style pit sauce and ribs! A previous reviewer noted to get there early since they close earlier than most places. I would say they are right since we got there at 4pm and not all options were available at that time. The staff is very kind and helpful. You can’t go wrong with any of the proteins - they’re truly tasty.
Wow!!! The most amazing BBQ that I have had in a very very long time! They even let you walk up to the pit to see the meat on the pit and select it. I have been on a quest to find awesome barbecue and this place is the best I have found so far! They have been around since 1953 and they are the original. There are other Coopers BBQ that tried a spin off but they are different. This one is the original. They start preparing the mesquite wood the day before and burning it to prepare the coals. Then they add the brisket in giant pits the wee hours of the morning to have it ready later than day. It's a labor of love and pride to prepare barbecue this way and it shows. If you are in the area, please please try this amazing BBQ, you will be happy you did. Everyone there is friendly, helpful and t
We walked up and Drew greeted us immediately! He was super helpful and kind the whole time! I had a brisket sandwich with jalapeno sausage on it and it was delicious! The whole experience was awesome, I will be back!
