Very friendly staff and welcoming environment. The brisket and beef rib was delicious, the sirloin was a little tough.

The barbecue itself was alright. But the pecan cobbler was sooo good.

I personally think cooper's has the best brisket in Austin. A lot of people say Terry blacks is the best but I found coopers brisket to be juicier and have better flavor. Big fan of this place

While the meats are expertly prepared, the true star of the show for me was the cobbler. Tastiest I’ve had. The meat sandwich is the best of all worlds and a good value.

when you walk into the place, there is no one to greet you at the door. We walked around until we found a friendly cook, who showed us the meat and told us how to order what they didn’t tell us was that the ribs that were beef for $31.49 a pound and the brisket was $29.49 a pound I ate less than half of my food I’ll show you but noticed that it is full of fat, the barbecue sauce taste like hot sauce with water in it. The barbecue sauce that was put on try to hide that there was absolutely no seasoning on the meat. It literally taste like they washed the meat put it directly on the grill there was however, salt and pepper on the table along with ketchup, Parkay squeeze mustard, and cajun chef hot sauce. I ordered one beef rib and one beef brisket, grilled corn and paid $38. The meat as thick as he wanted it and weigh it and your obligated to pay it. On a positive note the dessert was really good. They should change the name from Cooper’s old town Pitt barbecue to Cooper’s old town good dessert place cause that’s all that was good at this place the barbecue he needed to do it in the trash and I do want to refund if you read this post, please don’t patronize if you want good barbecue, but if you have high blood pressure and can have a lot of salt, this might be for you

Listen to me!!! The food is very over priced for the taste!!! They carve in front of you and wrap it really quick and you don’t get to see the price on the label.. literally a slice of brisket and ribs, corn on cob and peach cobbler was $52.12!! Insane.. The BBq sauce was literally hot sauce and water in a hot pot!! I would have taken a Wendy’s bbq sauce pack to pour on the meat!!! Highly disappointed!! I took a L with this one!!
