We stopped by a place my Dad liked to visit when he was younger. Cooper's BBQ in Junction TX. If there was a contest for best interior of an "Ole Texas BBQ, this place could sure enter the contest. The menu is on the wall, and you order at the counter. There is a display case on the left full of Texas Treats called Smoked Meats. As you slide your tray down the line you pick up your wares,and the pickles and onions. BBQ sauces are offered on a separate counter there are three to choose from, sweet tang, rojo, and Cooper's Original. I tried all three, the sweet tang was my favorite. This was probably because I like the pronounced vinegar flavor and off-set of the sweet on the brisket. We both ordered the two meat and two sides plate, and a drink. Tea of course, I'm in the heart of Texas !! Dad ordered his usual Brisket and Sausage and I did the same. Brisket was tender, moist, and most important smokey. The. Sausage was juicy, flavorful and had a nice smoke flavor as well. The potato salad was on point with the mustard. The Cole slaw I could not eat, it was not fresh, and had a soggy feel. Plus, it was more watery than creamy. I ordered the Berry cobbler and Dad ordered the peach. Both were very good!! It was a great experience and we really liked sitting in a True Texas BBQ Joint.

Stopped at Coppers BBQ on the way to Phenoix. The sticker shock is the reason for the 4 stars. Everything else was good. The portion sizes are huge. Honestly, we could have shared a plate. Lots of room, self-serve drink station, and playground for the kids.

We came pretty close to closing (about 8:30pm) and they were super accommodating and had lots of brisket left. The food was great and coleslaw was fresh - prices seemed pretty normal and affordable as well! Everyone was friendly and nice, but I know they were pretty tired since it was the ending of the day! The vibes were really nice and gave off a western/country/rustic feel!

Pretty good BBQ. The sides were tasty but portioned like war rations. The Coleslaw and Green Beans were absolute WINNERS!!! We took our food TO GO, but they have a nice dinning room as well as outback seating, picnic table style. Overall, We enjoyed the meals. Im sure we'll stop in again. TRUCKERS: They do have a few spaces available....DONT SHUTDOWN THERE!! Limit ur time so other drivers can use them as well. Theres truck parking across the road to shutdown.

While we wouldn’t say this is a must visit, it’s hardly as bad as some of the reviews. We had good brisket and the service was quite good. meat slicer was friendly and helpful.

Sorry, I have eaten in three (3) of the Coopers stores and this one was the least impressive of the three. Service was "ok" once I got their attention. The sliced brisket seemed have been sitting for a while in the meat case. I found it to be dry. Seasoning was fine, but most of the moisture of the meat was gone. I prefer the Llano store; more of an eating experice.

The food here is good, I’ve visited this place about five times over the years. My only concern is the extra charge of $0.59 for each jalapeño and also for the bread. It genuinely surprised me because I’ve never been charged for these items in the past. We spent over $72 for two plates (the 3-meat mix with brisket, sausage, and ribs) so it feels unreasonable to add small extra charges on top of an already substantial order. I understand that prices have gone up everywhere but charging extra for something as simple as a jalapeño comes across as trying to squeeze every last dollar from the customer. Also the guy I feel like could have done it better at saying things I grabbed my jalapeños and the guy simply said. “You have to pay for that” That’s my honest review.

Food is good if you are looking for some BBQ. Not any type of OMG BBQ however. The service isn't that friendly and the prices are SUPER inflated. $13 fir a basic brisket sandwich is alittle much. They do. Nickle and dime you a little as well. Food is good and I recommend trying just keep in mind what was mentioned above.

Their prices have gone up considerably. It's as if they know they have a captive market. Although the food quality is still pretty good.

*Note: this review was originally posted a couple of years ago but has mysteriously been removed. This restaurant is not like the Cooper’s we know and love in Llano (the OG!). The food is not the same. The quality is nothing short of disappointing. The original is pricey, but worth it, and this is MORE expensive and not! The brisket was chewy, the portions smaller, the sauce is different, and the staff was flat out rude. They were making fun of customers right in front of us and then overly accommodating to a young lady in revealing attire. It was weird to everyone in the room. We will not go back - ever. If you’re looking for great Texas barbecue- drive a little farther down the road into Junction and a great place is on the right a couple of miles in. This place cannot be even related to the original.

Finally stopped after years of passing by. $33 for a 3 meat plate no drink. Only moist part of the brisket is the marble. Turkey saves them, absolutely great. Slaw and potato salad 4 out of five. Not worth it sorry.

Ugh. It hurts to write this about my favorite bbq place in the country, but I feel like I’m watching a family member self destruct. As a trucker I’ve been coming here once or twice a month for 15+ years so I know this place. The last 3 or 4 visits have been going downhill with today being the worst. I ordered a pound of brisket and probably got 1/4 pound of fat and inedible dried jerky. (See pic) It wasn’t even sliced it was so mushy, it resembled chunks of pot roast. Also got a pound of sausage and he couldn’t even be bothered with slicing it all the way through on every piece. Now I have to play sous chef with a plastic knife later for snacks. Each visit lately is getting ruined by the constant churn of new meat cutters up front that are not being trained properly to maintain a high standard of quality for the brand name. Please try to do better.

Barbecue not good. The meat is dry and overcooked. The location in Llano is much better. I would not recommend it.

Got the pork rib plate. meat was dry, harder than a pork rind. meat looked like it was microwaved. $19.99 was not worth it. Best part of my meal was the Lays chips.

Worst bbq I've had my entire life. Do yourself a favor and wait in line at Lum's BBQ.

We walked in and they were upset that we came. They couldn't wait for us to leave. $320 dollars later. It was the worst BBQ I've ever tried. Don't waste your money. I wouldn't feed this to my dog.

Totally disappointing overpriced food. I wouldn’t call this bbq!! Tasted liked it was cooked in the oven. No flavor tasteless food and the bbq sauce was not good either. I think this was left over…

The sausage was edible. The brisket was super dry and poorly cut. It looked like it been out all day. The sides were nothing special. Not worth the money we paid.

Been stopping here for almost 15 years and sad to say the last year or so each visit everything gets worse. All the older workers are gone and it's obvious these kids are just not into upholding the quality of the food or the cleanliness of the restaurant. Nobody cares how to slice the brisket properly or trim the excess fat anymore. This visit resembled pot roast that just fell apart into strands and chunks with 20% fat attached. Sausage might have been from yesterday. The sides are now flavorless like they came right from the food distributor. 70% of the tables were dirty at 3:30, and the sauce area was a mess. It's such a shame to see this decline. And it's never packed with people lined up at the door to get in like it used to be. The lower revenue should be a giant flag to management that something is wrong. They can't blame the economy because I-10 is still packed with hungry travelers. What a shame.

WOW....... I'm sure surprised that this coopers in junction has some positive reviews. Me and my uncle made a two hours drive just to go eat there and boy it was absolutely a bad experience from not being greeted to the crap they serve and the ridiculous price. The brisket was dry very little flavor the sausage was undercook and the beans were undercooked as well. A can of bush's pinto beans taste ten times better than theirs the only one thing that was great was the potato salad and we had some blackberry cobbler it was ok but it sure had a big scoop of seeds or hard pits or whatever they were and for the meals and two drinks including the dessert it was $70.65 I guess that you could call this coopers bbq highway robbery. I'm sure staying away from all the coopers bbq

9/4/2025 12:15pm this was my experience and my experience only. Entering I was not greeted at all even being the only person in line. I had to get their attention. Ordered a Pulled Pork sandwich and medium drink. I was immediately disappointed in the size of my sandwich and even more so when I saw how much brisket each sandwich in front of me had. The cashier was very nice but I was shocked at my total of $16! I assumed since the price wasn’t posted it was a few dollars cheaper than the brisket sandwich. The sandwich itself was very tough to eat. Large long strands of pork. The Coopers sauce was the consistency of water. Overall very disappointed in what I got at a well known place. But when I told ppl about it not one person had a nice thing to say about coopers. Sad. Below are pictures from my visit. Judge for yourself if this is what one would expect for $16 and mediocre service. For the remainder of my time in the area working 14 hours a day cleaning the river from the floods. I’ll spend my money elsewhere in town

It had been years since I had been to eat at this establishment, and upon stopping by to eat today, I was reminded why I had quit coming. We showed up around an hour before closing time, and the choices of meat available were few. I had the super combo 3 meat, brisket, ribs, and sausage. The brisket and the ribs had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. And, when I say "no flavor," I mean not even the slightest hint of smoke flavor. The sides were decent. I had potato salad and beans. The staff were as friendly a they could be, and the business was clean. The amount that I paid was ridiculous for the less than mediocre barbecue I purchased. It wasn't this bad the last time that I dined here. It has gone way downhill from what "Cooper's Old Fashion Pit Barbecue" is supposed to taste like. Save your time and money from this joint. As for me, I'll stick to the Cooper's in Llano.
