cooper's old-time pit bar-b-que

overrated and over priced. i didn't like choosing meat by the piece. their slaw is excellent. they could use plates instead of paper to eat off of. i know, it's typical of bbq restaurants in the area. you get better food and better bargain at mcbee's.

brisket tasted more like roast. believe it or not, the smoked chicken at seaworld tasted better than the smoked chicken here. finally, the only sauce available was more like au jus, and it was very salty. rudy's, just down the street, is considerably better. and better priced.

got the pork ribs based off off another reviewers suggestion and they were too tough. customer service was meh. brisket sandwich too spicy.

really awful, low-grade dogfood. it is on par with dickey's, but twice the price. truly nothing i have eaten in 2 trips to 2 locations was worth the trip. fool me twice, shame on me. how they survive in the area of the state known for incredible q astounds me.

damn good barbecue!

good brisket and beed rib. potatoe salad was peppery and like cold loaded mashed potatoes but i liked it. the sauce was watery and not tasty. the complimentary beans were great. the spice apples were good. overall: good.

international house of pork. coopers is good. they have the best pork loin and pork ribs on earth.

all of the well known bbq places have their highlights....at coopers it is anything pork.

the pork ribs are so good that i forgive them for poisoning me last year. i looked at those beans and i saw that froth floating on top....and i knew better....but i ate them anyway. sick as a dog.

i've learned my lesson with all bbq places. go only on busy days. bbq is a very difficult menu to do well without volume. the meat dries up and the beans go bad.....on the slow days.

but okay coopers....i still love you.

the food was inedible. i ordered lean brisket, potato salad & pinto beans. the brisket had so much fat and the meat left an oil spill in my mouth. the beans were so salty. i had to pick up something else to eat on my way home.

save yourself a trip.

our favorite bbq in new braunfels! #coopers

great bbq! i don’t know what it is about coopers bbq but the meat doesn’t have that over smoked, over charred flavor. i get indigestion when eating smoked bbq at other establishments in new braunfels but for some reason i have never had that issue at coopers.

for that reason, the brisket with burnt ends are my favorite request!

really good bbq sold by the pound. the brisket was tender and juicy, with just the right amount of fat. sausage was delicious. i like the cole slaw and love the potato salad. sauce, beans, jalapeños, pickles, onion, and bread are all serve-yourself and complimentary. overall, a winner.

way to expensive. a quart of mac and cheese 16.00. really????? you can get it at other bbq establishments for less than half. and when i approached the manager i was told they did not need my business and there were plenty of people that would pay the 16.00 a quart.

worst bbg in america. food quality poor, service poor and very expensive. don't waist your time or money @coopers.

it's a bit expensive, but then again all bbq is expensive. it's worth the cost for a good meal. i always stop @ cooper's after we float the river

brisket check list -. is ingrained in every bbq snob and central texas resident. numerous restaurants and prolific publications, not to mention back yard smoking experts, have made us all bbq geniuses.

i visited this eatery (again) last week. here is the results-

1. perfect smoke ring with beautiful color - check
2. crisp, dark flavor-able bark - check
3. moist (not dry) tender meat with a nice hint of smoke - check

beans, pickles & onions are included, all you can eat. loaves of sliced bread are randomly placed for convenience. no service, other than the meat and register people.

if you are paying $12.95 lb for bbq brisket, it better be good. this is good. in the past, i thought this eatery was expensive. a visit to blanco bbq last week solved that little concern.

cooper's, here or elsewhere, is one of the holy grail of bbq joints. try it and you will know why!
