Cooper's Bar-B-Q

Mark and Kim are the best hosts. They have really turned their little restaurant into a great place to eat, and have fun. Great people!

Great food! Excellent service! Easy to find! BYOB!!! And they have a great variety of different concerts in the backyard! Definitely worth a visit!

Highly recommend stopping at this BBQ spot, only a short drive from San Angelo. The food was great and they have an awesome atmosphere. Live music in the weekends. The owners were super nice

There are many Cooper's BBQ spots across Texas - but this is the ONLY ONE still owned by the Cooper family. Not only do they serve amazing BBQ, but they host a summer concert series with almost weekly concerts featuring the best acts & upcoming artists!! We've seen many Texas Country performers there & love that we can get dinner, post up in our lawn chairs, & BYOB for a nominal cooler fee. BONUS that the venue is family friendly with cornhole boards, basketball court, gaga ball pit & more!! We get tickets directly from their website & follow their social media for constant concert updates & interactions!! This venue is hands down the best spot around for a great evening out with family & friends!!

I have been to numerous concerts at Cooper's BBQ and absolutely LOVED it!!! Every time we've been the line goes by fairly fast, food is fast and always good, very reasonable pricing for food and the concert itself, and the atmosphere feels safe. I 100% recommend bringing friends or family (They have a basketball court, tether ball pole, and corn hole if you have kids!!) to enjoy music and great BBQ.

If you're looking for incredible BBQ with a side of Texas charm, Coopers BBQ in Christoval is a must-visit. The food is nothing short of excellent-tender, smoky, and full of flavor that keeps you coming back for more. Whether it’s brisket, ribs, or sausage, every bite tastes like it was made with pride. My personal favorite is their smoked turkey 🤤 What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It’s more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. With live concerts and a laid-back outdoor setting, it’s the perfect spot to relax with friends and family. The energy is always welcoming, and the staff makes you feel right at home. Great food, live music, and a true Texas vibe—Coopers BBQ in Christoval nails it on all fronts. Highly recommend!!

After driving 3 1/2 hrs for a concert then standing in line for an hour to get in to be told our tickets were not valid. After many tears from my little one, the owners called us over shook my hand and said for us to enjoy the concert. We need more good people like the coopers.

If you find yourself in Christoval, Texas, you must stop by Cooper’s Live! Whether you're a local or passing through, this lively spot is a must for anyone who appreciates great music, a friendly atmosphere, and an authentic Texas experience. From the moment you step inside, the energy is palpable. The place has a rustic, laid-back vibe that feels welcoming without being too over-the-top. The live music sets the tone for a fun, casual evening with friends or family. There's something about the mix of cozy seating, local decor, and the sound of a country band that just feels right. It’s the perfect blend of small-town charm and vibrant nightlife.

Coopers offers a family friendly atmosphere under the west Texas stars. If you enjoy live music, great barbecue, and a good ol’ game of corn hole, visit Coopers and bring your friends!

The BBQ is good, but the concert venue is one of my favorites!! I always look forward to the line-up every year and they just keep getting better! I'll continue to visit this place for as long as they keep playing live music!

Cooper’s is definitely the place to be! Not only do they serve delicious BBQ, they offer the friendliest service, and put on great shows! It allows parents to enjoy concerts while kids can play basketball or throw some corn hole bags, all while being able to feed the whole family a good dinner! The experience you get from Cooper’s is unforgettable!

My husband, his best man, and I had lunch at Cooper’s BBQ after hiking, and it did not disappoint. We tried a variety of meats, but the shredded pork and brisket were definitely our favorites — so tender and flavorful! We even went back for dessert and couldn’t resist the banana pudding. Everything was delicious, and the service was just as impressive. Highly recommend checking them out if you’re in the area!

Cooper’s isn’t just a BBQ place it’s an experience! We have loved eating here since moving west, we met The Cooper’s our visit and they have remembered our names ever since! The food is the best you will lay your lips on and the company is even better! They also throw amazing concerts! I highly recommend The Cooper’s experience I promise once you leave you will be planning when to return!

The atmosphere has a great vibe for date night or family fun. The outdoor concerts are always fun as well. Bring the kids for some good food and corn hole while listening to some good music. It’s definitely worth our 50 minute drive.

If you’re a fan of real, smoky, melt-in-your-mouth barbecue, this place is an absolute must-visit. From the moment I walked in, the aroma of slow-cooked meats had me hooked. The brisket was perfectly tender with just the right amount of bark, the ribs were fall-off-the-bone good, and the pulled pork was juicy and full of flavor. What really stood out was the attention to detail – from the house-made sauces (sweet, tangy, and spicy – all worth trying!) to the perfectly seasoned sides like creamy mac & cheese, smoky baked beans, and fresh slaw. The portions were generous, and the service was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. Whether you're a BBQ connoisseur or just looking for a satisfying meal, this spot hits all the right notes. I’ll definitely be coming back – and bringing friends!

We stopped in mid-afternoon on Saturday & as we were ordering struck up a conversation with the owners, Mark & Kim. Really enjoyed visiting with them, about the history, the venue & the BBQ. Ordered Brisket, Pork Ribs & Smoked Sausage with some sides. Have to say the food was excellent & we will definitely be back again. Great Food & Great Folks! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed :)

Absolutely love Coopers BBQ in Christoval, TX! Not only is the BBQ some of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly smoked, full of flavor, and always fresh—but the heart behind this place is just as impressive. Cooper BBQ consistently gives back to the community in big ways, whether it’s supporting local events, fundraisers, or just lending a helping hand where it’s needed. It’s clear they care deeply about Christoval and the people in it. And if you ever get the chance to attend one of their concerts by the river—don’t miss it! The setting is unbeatable, with live music under the stars and the peaceful river in the background. It’s the kind of experience that sticks with you. Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere—Cooper BBQ is a true gem in West Texas!

Ashley Rich

Food is always amazing and the concerts are even better! Always have a great time when we go to Cooper's Bar-B-Q! The atmosphere is great whether you want to just chill and watch live music or play corn hole and hang out with friends! Always a good time!

Lydia Huerta

Coopers is the place to be for any local event! My family has gone to 2 concerts and both times it has been such a great experience! My favorite part is that it’s local to us and just a 20 min drive.

Coopers is a fantastic music venue. Family friendly, no crazy fights or shenanigans, a hometown feel with legit bands, singers and concerts. The bbq joint is rich with history and pictures of tons of big name musicians. Highly recommend.

Ordered 2-meat plate with sliced briskets and ribs with beans and potato salads. Brisket was delicious but the ribs were very dry and small. The ribs might have been a leftover from days ago.. very disappointed and will not get ribs again.

Came for the Hudson Westbrook concert and tried the brisket. It was the worst brisket I’ve ever had. The guy cutting it had to have known it was tough. It was almost like a cheap steak. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one that had it and hopefully you all know and correct it.
