Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que

BesT BBQ i have ever had

Dined with my family on a weekend get away from San Antonio , great experience in beautiful downtown Austin, brisket and sausage was great, loved the seasoning on the brisket. Best peach cobbler I’ve had from any restaurant ever. I wish I took extra home with me.

Horrible service and food,

Wanted to love the place, but the chicken was basically flavorless, zero smoke flavor, as were the beans, like no seasoning. The bbq sauce tastes like warm tomato soup. Cool spot maybe to drink and watch a game but food was very mid.

First of all the sauce was the best I ever had. It is served warm and you could literally drink it like coffee. You select the meat you want and they weigh it by the meat and pound. A huge variety although they did not have pulled pork.

The meat is wrapped in butcher paper making it a fun way to open up and eat off the paper.

The brisket was perfect. The turkey again some
Of the best I have had at BBQ places.

The sausage was definitely in house made. My favorite meat was the sirloin steak. First time having smoked sirloin. I actually went back to get more.

Ribs were just okay.

They have picnic tables to sit at making the experience fun as you share table space with others.

Mac n cheese was full of cheddar and many other cheeses.

Highly recommended!!!

Guess I'm not accustomed to meet running out. When I came only sausage available. Sides inadequate portions. PASS.....

Beef ribs are heavenly

I didn't like the BBQ sauce.

Cooper's is a great place to go for some downtown fast barbecue. The brisket is flavorful and tender and I liked the sausage, it was packed with flavor and so juicy.

We particularly loved the blackberry cobbler!!

It's nice they have beans, pickles, and bread available for free.

Service was fast and it was not that busy.

The mac and cheese was meh.

Coopers was authentic Texas BBQ. The brisket is phenomenal. There was a good blend of fat and lean meat. The flavor had a Smokey hint that was mouthwatering. We also had short pork ribs. They were juicy and delicious. As you can see from the menu board pictures, it is very pricey. The four of us had 1 meat and 1 side and waters and it was $94. Yep….$94. Ouch! The atmosphere and decor was like being at an old roadside BBQ shack but in the middle of downtown.
There is also an area called the “Bean Pot” where you can get free, self served pinto beans, sliced pickles, jalapeños, and sliced sandwich bread. Overall, other than dropping almost $100 on a meal, it was a great experience and a must for anyone visiting downtown Austin.

Not great bbq... mac & cheese
