We were very excited to try out Coopers due to its close proximity to us. Overall the staff was nice enough, although it was our first time and the process could have been explained better. We ordered sliced brisket, sausage, and ribs. Overall passable but very salty. The ribs weren't fall off the bone and we had so much of just ribs left over between 5 people. The Mac and cheese and potato salad were good but the BBQ sauce was quite watery. There's a lot of seating for large parties and even a large room to be reserved. Overall not high on my list of places to go back to in the stockyards area.

"No frills, no fuss. It's all about the meat" The quote above is from the restaurant and is a perfect summary. This is the absolute best BBQ place I have ever experienced. They have a wide assortment of smoked meats (highly recommend the big pork chop), a vinegar based sauce, great sides, and a good beer selection. The beef ribs and brisket were also awesome. Come in hungry and leave completely satisfied. I cannot recommend this place enough and wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

Great place! We tried a variety of food: brisket, jalapeno cheddar sausage, regular sausage, pulled pork sandwich, potato salad, jalapeno and bacon mac and cheese, grilled corn, and the peach cobbler. My husband and I enjoyed all of it. The food was delicious. Cooper's provides outstanding service, and their staff is super friendly and helpful. There isn't table service. You order your meat(s) by weight when you first walk in, then choose your sides and desserts in a cafeteria-style line. They provide all you can eat bread, pickles, jalapeños, onions, barbecue sauce, and pinto beans. Drinks are self-service. Great place, very clean, terrific staff, cool decor, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

The barbecue here is so good! I had the beef ribs, which were very flavorful and cooked perfectly. I can’t wait to go again.

On vacation from NYC and finally I get some good BBQ. The place is massive, everyone so welcoming and prices were affordable. Lots of parking and the decor is great. Thank you to the staff for making us feel welcomed.

The chicken is the probably the best I e ever had. The skin was somewhat crispy and seasoned perfectly! The brisket BEBER disappoints. The beans (all you can eat) are some of the best you'll ever taste. My fiance says the potato salad is out of this world, and she is a potato salad critic! 😉 When you're in Texas, you have to make this one stop bbq heaven!

The best pork chop I've ever had. Great joint, a bit expensive. Free bread, free beans, free jalapenos. The cobbler tasted almost indistinguishable from the mac & cheese. Maybe they get cooked together in an oven, I don't know, but they taste the same.

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.

Ridiculously good. Everything tasted great. The staff were nice and helpful for my first time ordering here. The dining area is super spacious, and provides self serve stations for extra fixings. Appreciated the to go station with the roll of aluminum foil and plastic bags, there was no way I was going to finish all this in one sitting.

Brisket was the best, but pretty fatty. Mac was a bit underwhelming, but mixed with some pork it was better. Loved the beans!

Our second time visiting Cooper’s in Fort Worth. Food is delicious and melts in your mouth. Yum!!! Would be great if they had a sampler platter to allow us to sample various items off the Pit.

Authentic Texas Bar-B-Que where you get to pick your meat, chicken or sausage. Super friendly staff and plenty of sides to chose from + a fun environment with lots of memorabilia on the walls

Great place with delicious food!!! Brisket was so good! Also the beef rib was 🔥! Steak always great choice! Love the atmosphere inside! People are nice and friendly!

Cooper's is our go-to place when hosting medium to large number of people. The BBQ is amazing and always something new to try. If you walk through the doors famished, be careful as the options all look great, but you will pay a price. The open family style seating makes it feel very country. Self-service and good selection of adult beverages and family friendly. The parking cost is offset from your costa if you remember to show them. After enjoying a good walk around downtown Fort Worth.

My husband and I ate at Cooper's BBQ for the first time today. He had sliced brisket with a bun, baked potato, and pickles. I had chicken, green beans, and cole slaw. When you first walk in you choose your meat. The man serving the meats was impatient, rude, and sarcastic. Next, you go down the line to choose your sides. No one told us that beans are free self-served in the dining area. At the end of the line, you get a drink cup and pay. You're also given a white paper to use as your plate. The meat was okay, but nothing special. The bbq sauce was like water, without much flavor. The green beans and cole slaw were both yummy, but we wouldn't go back for only those 2 sides.

Always our most favorite place to eat Bar-B-Que! We always make a stop here and eat when we are visiting anywhere within a 30 minute drive! The food is always the same, no matter when we choose to visit! And, every time we've brought someone new with us, they always agree it's the best Bar-B-Que they've ever eaten! The pork ribs are our favorites, as well as the apple or pecan cobbler. We were happy to have black eyed peas for new years as well as the normal pinto beans as a free side! I will say we were unhappy having to pay $5 to park on new years weekend. We have never had to pay to park here and were VERY close to leaving because of it. We did explain we were there to eat, but she said if we walk off the sidewalk, we would be fined if we didn't pay to park there. BECAUSE we had to pay to park, we took advantage and visited some of the Ft. Worth stockyards area.

Where do I begin. Excellent food, excellent service, couldn’t ask for a better barbecue eating experience out on my trip to Dallas. The thing I was looking forward to the most as I went out to Texas was the barbecue! And I was delighted greeted by the kind employees who told me what to order because I had no idea what I was doing. I ended up getting the pork ribs, brisket, the Mac and cheese and their house made corn. The brisket was oozing with juices you don’t see unless you go to a barbecue place that does it right, and it just melts right into your mouth. The pork ribs were the best I have had ever, better than my home town philz barbecue by far! The corn was excellent, had the right amount of seasoning and was very fresh, and the Mac and cheese was alright, I have had better. Overall it was more on the pricier side, and it was 5 dollars just to park but if you want good barbecue in the area go here!

You get a view of the meat while you order. Very accommodating of how much you want and what type of cuts. They have sides you can add on but the beans are complimentary. A lot of seating available. As far as food goes, it was very good but not one of my favorites. ( I’ve been to many BBQ places and my father BBQ’d every weekend growing up. Not an expert by any means just eaten a lot of BBQ 😉🤣) The lean brisket didn’t have a smoke ring and it was a little dry. The beef rib was tender and the seasoning on it was good. We LOVED the pork loin and sausage! Turkey was ok, had a thick piece of fat on it and it was a little dry. Overall pretty satisfied. The service was great! Workers very friendly. We would go back and try it again.

Really salty, watery bbq sauce, well cooked tho. Chopped beef was good and the turkey was moist. Not the best I’ve had but by far not the worst. I would try it again.

Coopers Old time bar-B- que was overall pretty descent brisket. It was a little dry, but then again, it was later in the day. The sides however where good, and so was the service. I had the mac and chesse with jalapeños, pecan pie, baked beans, and sausage. They were good. To add, the atmosphere was very cowboy like. The location is right across the street from the coliseum, which is great if you want to watch a rodeo after eating. Overall, it's pretty good. i would take my friends here.

Good brisket, great sides, fun place. The brisket was tender and juicy. The sausage had wonderful flavor. The pinto beans were a top 3 of my life. Incredible. The pecan and peach cobblers were absurdly tasty!! Expensive but it was an easy walk from the Stockyards. The ordering flow was different as you order meats by the pound first, then see the sides. This was our first time so we quickly adapted.

Calling all BBQ lovers - if you haven't been to Coopers BBQ, you're seriously missing out! From the moment I walked in, I could smell the mouth-watering aroma of delicious smoked meats. The restaurant has a rustic and charming atmosphere, with an open flame grill that adds to the ambiance. But let's get to the food - I tried the brisket and it was absolutely heavenly. The meat was so tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. I also loved the variety of sides and sauces to choose from, each one as delicious as the last. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick and efficient. I left feeling satisfied and happy, already planning my next visit. If you're a fan of BBQ or just looking for a tasty and authentic dining experience, you won't regret stopping by Coopers BBQ. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you

Love the food. The server for meat choices was not the friendliest. He seemed more annoyed than helpful. He made us feel rushed, and when it was pointed out, he was condescending with his response. Will go back because let's face it the food is great and the rest of the staff was hospitable.

I had the barque beef ribs and my friend had the ribeye steak everything was so good meat just fall off the bone. I had eaten all my food. I had the blackberry cobbler and vanilla ice cream. It was so yummy.

Some of the worst brisket I’ve ever eaten! Very disappointing!!! We ordered a pound of brisket but only about half of it was eatable! It had about 1/2” of burnt shell that tasted like plastic and could not be chewed! Lots of fat! Meat was dry and the bbq sauce tasted like vinegar. The only reason I gave them two stars was because the beans tasted really good and the tea was fresh. This place does not represent Texas BBQ. It’s too bad it’s located in a high traffic tourist district. I can’t recommend this place and I’ll definitely never return.

Very chill atmosphere. Everyone was super friendly. Food was good, and I liked the simple ordering process. The sirloin was even juicy. The sauce had potential but wasn't quite knocking it out of the park, and sides were a little meh. None were bad, just not great. If prices were a bit lower, then there would be zero complaints.
