Coopers BBQ New Braunfels

Texas BBQ is superior to all other Q. Not a single ketchup based item in sight! Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que does it right and the sides were equally superior. The staff was first rate. #rushieeats

TL;DR black berry cobbler = excellent. Brisket = too fatty. Beans = unlimitedIf this review was only about the black berry cobbler it would be 5 stars. But it's not. It's about the whole of the experience. I'm highly intimidated by the meat man on the grill when you first start your order. Maybe it's just my social anxiety, or maybe it was his attitude. Either way, I didn't enjoy the meat ordering experience. I very much love the amount of beans made available at the bean bar. Unlimited beans. Unlimited farts. The whole time eating I was thinking about bread. I remembered bread there in the past, but For some reason, I could find it. This was entirely my fault for not freaking looking. It was there. Just not where I was looking. My bad on that. The brisket was too fatty for my taste. The ambiance is cool. Very much Texas bbq vibes. you can get better bbq elsewhere but you can't get unlimited beans everywhere!

The restaurant has a Texas BBQ theme, very comfortable and kid-friendly or just fine for adults only. The employees were friendly and attentive.We got a rack and 1/2 of the baby back ribs. They were very tasty and moist. We also got a brisket sandwich (moist, tasty, smoky flavor), pork loin slices (moist and tasty), potato salad (mustard based, tasty, not too sweet) creamed corn (very good, reminded us of my mother's homemade back in the 80s). The buttermilk pie and chocolate pudding were a nice sweet treat for dessert.The only reason this is four vs five stars is that the meat was overly smoky for my tastes. I was literally tasting smoke for the rest of the night and the following day. If you like super smoky flavor, you might rate this five stars.

Large dinning area inside! Order meat by the pound up front and the sides and such in the line. Pinto beans ,pickles, and onions/jalapeños are free.We really liked the ribs and green beans. Next time we will order lean brisket. Our 1/2 pound of brisket was just two slices.

Mixed feelings about this one. The customer service was 10 out of 10. I received a clear breakdown of how everything worked and the staff was so friendly. I had the brisket, green beans and Mac and cheese. The brisket was so tender! I really enjoyed it. The reason for my 3 stars was everything else. The sides were extremely salty, to the point I couldn't finish them at all. The barbecue sauce tasted primarily of vinegar and had a very watery consistency. I'm not sure if the sides were just salty that day as a result of who made them or if it's the norm. I'd be willing to try again when I'm back in the area.

This is HandsDown the best overall BBQ joint in TX as far as I'm concerned. Not only are you carried into the doorway by one of those smellgood steamy(or in this case smokey) cartoon hands with the big finger. Every single employee of this business exudes customer service excellence, every single time I walk in the door both me and my wife are greeted by everyone. Being in the restaurant industry for 15yrs and 13 of those years at a GM or higher level this is exactly the dream team you want serving you. (Honerable mention Chris and Steve) The food is delicious. Theres not a bad item on their menu. From the sides to the deserts you can not go wrong. Price point is realistic. Look we have a lunatic driving inflation higher than any Crack head on any given corner of Austin due to this the prices of your everyday goods go up. I can not give this place enough credit for what they are doing.

I loved how low key this place is. It's an absolute gem. The meats are good! The pork chop was moist and lean and the brisket was fork tender and marbled!I loved the apples and the sauce. I dipped everything in the sauce. It's vinegary with a hint of kick.I'd bring the whole neighborhood next time!Service was quick and no nonsense. Perfect for me on a lazy Sunday after tubing.

The brisket was so salty, as was the free pinto beans. The slaw and Mac and cheese was good, tea was good. But we won't be back. Just the two of us and our bill was $47.00. Not good enough for that cost.

Came here for the first time on a a weeknight and was pleasantly surprised how good the food is. The brisket was moist and delicious. The the jalapeño sausage was pretty good as well. My kiddo loved the Mac n cheese. They have a bar for pickles, black beans and BBQ sauce. First impression, we thought they were closed because the parking lot was almost empty at 6pm on a Tuesday night. Upon walking in, you are immediately met by the smell of smoked meat, the pit master and of course the different meats they have on the grill. I thought it was pretty cool. You order your meats, proceed to order sides and pay. Their dining room is HUGE! They have huge bottles of pickled jalapeños on each table. Didn't get to try them but I was tempted to...maybe next time. By the time we left around 7pm, there were more people.I thought their BBQ was much better than the two better known BBQ joints in the same area. They don't get enough credit as far as I'm concerned. Just an FYI, their sauce is on the watery side but we all loved it. They offer military discount as well.Will we be going back? Of course we will! Still have to try the ribs, chicken, Turkey and desserts.

The food was AMAZING! A little pricey but well worth it! Highly recommend the turkey and the brisket. We are visiting from out of town and everyone was so nice and helpful! Thank you all so much!!
