“ I just had lunch there and had a great time. The staff is nice and welcoming, the food was great, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere too. I would definitely come back. ”
“ We visited Coopers for food before going to Billy Bob’s on Friday night. You walk into the restaurant and are greeted with a grill full of meat and pick out what you want. You then move into the next room where people weigh and prepare your food, as well as choose any additions that you want (like cheese, salads, sides and toppings for the baked potatoes). My partner LOVES BBQ so went a little overboard with the order. We had a pork chop, sirloin steak, ribs, sausage and the chopped beef baked potato. We also grabbed a beer each and the total cost came to 140. Once you have paid you go and find a seat at the giant communal tables. Everything that we ordered was delicious. My other half is still talking about the pork chop (best pork chop has ever had) and it is likely we will revisit before we leave Fort Worth. I really enjoyed the baked potato and liked that they had taken the time to season the skin of the potato itself, really tasty. Would definitely recommend this spot and will visit again. ”
“ Great food. Great service. And all you can eat pickles and beans!!!! We really liked the beef ribs, bacon jalepeno Mac and cheese!!! ”
“ We tried the brisket at Cooper’s Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que and it was absolutely amazing — tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor. The portion was generous, and you can really taste the care in how it’s cooked. If you’re a BBQ lover, this place is a must-visit! ”
“ The brisket at this restaurant is comfortably among the best I’ve had. Perfectly marbled and so flavorful. There was the option for leaner cuts of brisket also and of course a variety of other meats. I thought the Mac-n-cheese and green beans sides were just okay, although a member of my party really enjoyed them, so it may come down to personal preferences. That being said, I’m definitely visiting again whenever I’m in the area. ”
“ The food was absolutely delicious! It was a little confusing for a first timer how the restaurant worked at first, but it was easy enough after doing it once. Lots of seating, interesting art work and stuff on the walls. Prices are fair, servings are big, and again, food is delicious! ”
“ The brisket was SO tender that it melted into my mouth! However, it needed more seasoning for my taste, yet I understand that it's probably limited so that the BBQ can cater to the mass amount of visitor traffic. Also the BBQ sauce was a bit watered down for my taste as well; again understandable. Food is GOOD!! Great family friendly atmosphere too! ”
“ Cooper's Old Time Pit BBQ is hands down one of the best BBQ spots I’ve ever visited. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of smoked meats sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The selection is incredible – brisket, ribs, sausage, chicken, and more, all cooked to perfection. The brisket was tender and flavorful with just the right amount of smoky goodness, and the ribs were fall-off-the-bone amazing. Their famous pork chop is an absolute must-try – juicy, thick, and seasoned perfectly. The sides are just as impressive, with creamy mac and cheese, hearty beans, and fresh coleslaw complementing the meats beautifully. Don't skip the cobbler for dessert – it’s the perfect sweet ending to a savory meal. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The rustic atmosphere adds to the charm, giving you an authentic Texas BBQ vibe. If you're looking for top-tier BBQ with generous portions and great service, Cooper's is the place to be. I’ll definitely be back for more! 5 stars all the way! ”
