Coopers is right across the little street from Billy Bob's. Parking is $10 for the day . ( like 24 hour day ). Way cheaper than most others that can go up to $29 . When you enter Coopers , there is a large long grill with all their bar b que and you tell them what you want . They cut it how thick or whatever . Beef,pork,chicken . Everything is separately priced and packaged . So Cole slaw, potatoes salad, cobbler - in its own little container . Once you check out , there is a large vat of beans , sides of pickles and bread . On the tables in gallon plastic jars are jalapenos for your convenience . Seating is bench style . Long and low so you have to be able to swing your legs over them lol . Fountain drinks and tea are self serve . This is a great place to meet before or after you visit the stockyards . Expect to pay between $20 to $30 a person.

It’s average BBQ at a fine dining price. It’s good but for 2 people it’s over $100 and the service is nonexistent because you serve yourself. The guy at the BBQ put wash great but the girl at the cash register has a poor attitude at best

Haven’t quite nailed the smoke flavor in the brisket but they are better than most. Brisket was exceptionally moist and really good. Sausage was good. Jalepeno bacon Mac and cheese was freaking spectacular!! Wife said the beans were great. The people that work there were very friendly and seemed to genuinely be happy they were there. I would rank this in my top five (thus far) in Texas. Highly recommended!!
Be sure to sell unneeded body parts before you go because it does cost an arm and a leg.

Not a Fan. The vibe is laid back cafeteria style which I can appreciate.
Chicken was dry, brisket was ok, nothing special.
I did enjoy the steak and pork ribs.
Mac n cheese and potato salad were terrible.

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.

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!

Coopers BBQ! This place is a cafeteria style bbq pit. Walking in I was greeted by the nicest guy (Zach) who walked me through the process (first time). I selected my meats then I went and had it weighed before grabbing some mac and cheese and had options for a lot of stuff including cobblers! They even have complimentary beans so get some of those.

The Food:
The best thing I had was the beef rib! Very good flavor and the piece I got was very tender. The jalapeno sausage was good too! The brisket wasnt my favorite and left a bit more to be desired however in Texas the standard for BBQ is very high and Ive had a lot of great brisket. I just thought it needed a bit more flavor but the texture was good.

The pinto beans were 4/5, the jalapeno mac was 4/5 too! Which isnt bad at all.

The BBQ sauce was runny and didnt have much to add to the meats which was a bummer. Maybe its just my preference but as far as I know its one option for bbq sauce.

The highlight was definitely the staff. Zach left a great first impression.

All in all its a great place to take the kids and family but its not on my top 5 bbq places.

Expect a bit of sticker shock when you get to the register too.

The patio is awesome and there is plenty of parking too!

Good pit BBQ restaurant. We went on a Monday evening and it was not too crowded. We had several different types of meat selected for 4 of us, including the pork ribs, brisket, and steak. Unfortunately I learned they do not serve fried okra or anything fried for that matter. Also, no cornbread. As for the BBQ sauces available, it seems there is just their vinegar based sauce, which is not thick, but more liquid like a vinaigrette dressing. Pinto beans, their BBQ sauce, and sliced white bread is available by the drink stations. The meats were excellent, but the lack of some traditional BBQ joint sides was disappointing. Therefore, for me, there are a few other BBQ places I would go instead of here.
