Classic BBQ joint with picnic table seats serving brisket, ribs & more pulled straight from the pit.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon prior to heading to the stockyards, When you enter, you pass the BBQ pit where you make your selections. As stated in earlier reviews, this place is pricey but I think it is the “tourist factor”. It is pretty casual as you get in line for your meats and your sides. They cut up your meets and hand them to you in wax paper. You then grab a seat at one of the tables.
Over all, I thought the BBQ was OK. We had the Brisket, Chicken, Turkey, Pork Ribs, and Beef Ribs. We got to taste quite a few meats because we had a large party,
The sides with were OK as well. I would not recommend the Mac and Cheese with Bacon. The regular Mac and Cheese was better.
I don’t think I would come again, I would recommend eating at another BBQ place both for the flavor and price before I went to the Stockyards for a visit.

Ribeye and beef ribs were very salty.
Not very tender beef ribs.
Sides are skippable, we got mac and cheese and beans.
Bbq sauce is too watery and has alot of vinegar.
Cherry and blackberry cobbler were good.
Props for a very tender Ribeye tho and perfect cooking interior.
The sides line forgot our pulled pork 3 different times and didnt end up getting it
Overall over priced for the quality.

We are from Texas and were visiting Fort Worth for the weekend so we definitely had high hopes for the bbq , it being within walking distance from the stock yards , first when u order I definitely feel like the butcher guy should make better recommendations for new customers and they should have a meat plate to try a little bit variety of meats.. I ordered the chicken, jalapeño sausage, & the brisket with hopes it would be worth the price! Me and my friend both had a variety of meats, I ordered individually because that was the only option the chicken was dry and jalapeño sausage was basically chewy like jerky the only thing that was okay was my brisket, the bbq sauce was watery and the free charro beans tasted like left overs from night before, I also ordered two small sides Mac and cheese and green beans the Mac & cheese was okay and green beans were very seasoned with bacon they tasted pretty good to me, the sweet tea was also great! They also don’t have any to go plates I asked one of the guys working and he basically said there’s foil over on the table. I think they definitely should be more welcoming with customers also.

The food tasted good but does not taste like Texas BBQ more like Memphis. Service was strange since meat server didn’t seem to know how much to cut for our group. Be careful they give to much. Brisket was very fatty and reminded us all of pot roast. Turkey was perfect and all the sides were great. Free beans and bread if you can find them they need some signs. Seating is like large picnic tables and there is plenty of light and it’s not loud. $120 for 3 people.

The beef rib is the a must try! Juicy, tender, and perfect balance of smoke and flavor. The atmosphere is very interesting too- starting from order the meat from a giant warmer/oven, pick your sides and dessert, and the waiter will hand you a piece of paper as your plate. Self serving soup, onion and pickles. Eating area with college style tables, signs, pictures… I see a few parties over 15 gatherings together eating and laughing, and waiters walking by with smiles to clean the tables. I can feel the free spirit in both the food and the environment. Will definitely come again!

Chopped “brisket”…. I slopped beef sandwich is absolutely 100% disgusting and so is the water like bbq sauce. Several good BBQ sandwiches in the area. Im super sad I just spent $40 on 2 slopped beef sandwiches a corn and a drink. Absolutely disgusting food.

Absolutely terrible BBQ. Brisket was burned. Ribs were tough as jerky. The best items there were the free pinto beans and the iced tea. Definitely a tourist trap. $67.00 for subpar food. Was offered more BBQ instead of a refund.

Cooper’s Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que is fantastic! The meat is incredibly tender and full of flavor, with that authentic Texas BBQ taste. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the quality speaks for itself. Definitely one of the best BBQ spots—highly recommended!

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.
