Cooper's is destination barbeque. When talking Texas barbeque, brisket is king. So that was my main choice.
When you walk in the door, you are greeted by the pit master, standing beside his open pit, inviting you to choose from the many cuts of barbecued and smoked meats he has to offer. I chose a slab of brisket and sausage. The sausage is made by Cooper's and is a mix of beef and pork.
After choosing and receiving your meat order, you will go through a cafeteria style line to choose your sides and dessert should you have a taste for sweet to end your meal. I chose Cole slaw, and pecan cobbler, knowing full well I had more food than I could eat, but there are plenty of go boxes on the service line for later.
The brisket had a nice chew, great flavor and perfect serving size from hand carving. The sausage had an excellent flavor and was bursting with juicy goodness. However, I prefer a coarse grind sausage, which this was not. That's just a texture preference on my part and in no way a criticism of the sausage.
I have to mention that the beef rib one of my companions ordered was OUTSTANDING. The meat was literally melt in your mouth. Can not rave about this choice enough. If you like beef,get one, it will change your life.
The Cole slaw was crunchy and sweet, with a generous portion to boot. The pecan cobbler was divine and would have been perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but I ate it on the road trip home.
There is a full service drink station, paper towels at the tables, and picnic style seating. The bathrooms are neat and clean.
Get there early because there is always a line, and when they sell out of an item, it's gone till the next day.
Cooper's is a great barbeque experience and it's right next to the Forth Worth stockyards for those weekend travelers. Enjoy some excellent food there.

I was staring into this gigantic sized open BBQ and I had no idea what to do. I was frozen in shock and awe by what I was seeing. I’ve never seen a BBQ this big before and certainly not filled in its entirety with huge portions of meat and poultry. This was the scene at my very first Texas BBQ which I was told is an experience I must do when visiting the state. The host of this dream experience was Cooper’s Old Time Pit BBQ in the Fort Worth Stockyards and here is everything you want to know about a Texas BBQ and the dining scene at Cooper’s.
A couple weeks ago we were doing a lot of stuff in the Dallas and Fort Worth areas. Ian and I had driven by what was claimed in Google to be an El Pollo Loco (but wasn’t). We found ourselves in the Stockyards area, and drove past Cooper’s, and had to stop in. Cooper’s has a lot of potential. You order your meat first, then some sides, then sit down at long tables family style. Your Q is on butcher paper.
Love it!!!. Outstanding BBQ! I don't get to Ft. Worth often but, when I do Cooper's is a MUST!
Dinner. Food was good, team at the restaurant were very helpful and explained the process to first timers. Brisket and sausage was good and well cooked.

A little pricey, but good. I went for my first time tonight, using a Groupon. I decided to make it easy on myself and I ordered the ribeye with baked potato. I added an iced tea and the total was a hair over $30 (before the Groupon was applied). That's more than I would normally spend on a dinner for myself, but the food was good.
I'm not really a huge fan of ribeyes. "Most" restaurants seem to think ribeye means "let's find the fattiest piece of meat we can and charge extra for it!" That wasn't the case here. Yes, there was some fat around the edges, but the bulk of what I received was actually MEAT. It had a good flavor to it, too!
The baked potato could've done with less pepper. You see, I'm one of those crazy people who likes to eat the skin of the potato. The baked potatoes have a "healthy" coating of pepper which makes eating the skin rather inconvenient. After several bites, your taste buds are in for a "treat," as the effects of the pepper seem to "add up."
All in all, I liked the place and I'd go back. I'm not sure if I'll go back SOON, but I'll probably go back, at some point. If nothing else, I'd like to try some of their other choices..
It was good but not great. Would not come back. Brisket was the best then jalapeno sasuage. pork ribs were mediocre. My standard for bbq is Hard 8 in Stephenville
Loved it! It's nice that you can get as much or little of each item you want. Brisket and ribs were the best I have had in a long time if not ever! Looks like they have bands on Friday nights and serve beer all the time. Its a New favorite for sure!
Delicious. Went here with the family and loved it! Cheap prices for enormous amounts of food. My brother go 12oz sirloin for $13! and it was cooked perfectly! Loved their cobblers, beans (free), and sweet tea! Must try if your in the stockyard area.
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.
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.
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.
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
Had my grandkids with me hunting. Wanted to get them the “Coopers” experience. We arrived 15 mins before they opened. I walked the boys over to show them the pits. The staff came out to show them around and then said they could go ahead and pick their food. Classic great service happy to serve early. No rushing lets the boys pick and choose. Great food great service…..4th generation served.
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.
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.
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.
Brisket was the best, but pretty fatty. Mac was a bit underwhelming, but mixed with some pork it was better. Loved the beans!
