We ordered a pound of brisket and most of it had a lot of fat BUT when I respectfully told the manager about it, he gave me a new pound of brisket with no problem at all.

Couldn’t get into Franklin’s (I’ve been once before) so we went here… honestly, this was way better! The meat guy made me get the turkey, normally I would never order turkey… ever. My only complaint is in hindsight I should have gotten more turkey, it was unbelievable! I am back in my hometown and that turkey is still on my mind!

Ps. I also don’t like coleslaw but their coleslaw is the best I’ve ever tasted! Should have gotten more of that too!

I am out of town and I found this place in downtown Austin. I had the chopped sandwich with jalapeño Mac and cheese. It was awesome! I highly recommend this place. Shout out to the bartender that was helpful to a newbie! 👍

If you’re not used to BBQ, the food will definitely a good place.
The meat could be a tad overcooked, especially the ribs. The brisket might be a bit dry, so you’ll want to dip it in the sauce. The folks there are super friendly!

Cooper’s Old Time is a BBQ lover’s dream. The brisket is smoky and tender, the ribs are perfectly seasoned, and the sides like beans and cornbread are excellent. The casual, rustic atmosphere and friendly staff make it the perfect place to enjoy classic Texas BBQ.

The food was solid, but especially having visited there on a Saturday night, it had the energy of a funeral. Super boring atmosphere. No music, no one was talking, everyone was just watching tv or staring at their phones. 👎

From the guy you order your meat with, to the people that get your sides, to the cashier, everyone was friendly and helpful. Food was amazing.! A little pricey, but hello, welcome to Austin. Definitely worth every penny in my opinion.

First visit a month ago… and I flew back to Austin this month just to have it again. That should tell you everything!
The brisket and beef ribs are absolute perfection! smoky, tender, and full of flavor. The twice baked potato casserole, coleslaw, and banana pudding were each amazing in their own right (hands down the best banana pudding I’ve ever had).
We loved it so much that we bought a Yeti cooler just to bring some back home to Minnesota.
If you’re in Austin, do yourself a favor and make Cooper’s a priority stop.
