We were new to this restaurant and needed training! Everyone was so warm and happy to explain their process. Each employee greeted us when we walked in and when we left...even one of them that was eating his lunch! It's family style picnic bench seating. They have all the condiments you could need on the table and at a couple stations. Also have complimentary beans, which my husband said were fantastic. We loved every bit of our meal and the southern hospitality just put it over the top!

Very Texas! I'm from California & wanted to try authentic Texas BBQ & I this place did not disappoint. Highly recommend getting as much meat as you can! Cause everything was so good!

Cooper's Llano is one of those "Best of the Best" places. No matter who you are, or which style is your favorite, or if the prices here scare you; do yourself a big favor and stop-in anyway. Everything here is from very good to just wonderful. Stick with the beef, especially the beef ribs. Yes, the brisket is great, too. But I can get decent brisket all over. Since Lone Star Cafe in the RGV has closed, Cooper's is THE place to get yourself some great ribs. Make you swear-off County Line BBQ & Mikeska's forever. Don't miss this real Central Texas classic !

Cooper's has good food, decent tho not so cheap prices anymore, and friendly service making this one of my go to places for bbq when we visit family in the Austin and the surrounding area. Pretty much a chose what you want as you go thru the line kind of place, it's a no frills donning experience in a casual room setting with a roll of paper towels and a gallon sized container pickled jalapeños on the bench seating. They even have a pot of beans and a pot of their bbq sauce, pickles, onions, and white bread, all self serve. We had the usual brisket, pork chop, and jalapeño and cheese sausage. All were good. The pork chop was really good last time, so we got it again, and it didn't disappoint. The pork chop was the highlight of the meal. The brisket was not. Little over cooked and dry. We finished off the meal with cobblers, peach and pecan. Will we be back, most definitely next time we're in the area. Only thing I wish they'd provide is a different bbq sauce. Theirs is different, very thin, and not huge flavors.

Hadn't been here in a year and prices seemed high. The brisket was $28 a pound. We ordered 1/2 lb. Of brisket, some sausage and a few pork ribs. All the meat was very good , however half of it fat. The coleslaw and their complimentary brown beans were good.

Stopped in and grabbed Cooper's BBQ to-go when I was passing thru from Fredericksburg to San Saba. First, you order your meat out by the pit. They sell it by pound and order fulfillment is cut my eyesight (a little heavy handed in my opinion). They slap it on a tray then it is weighed inside. When you walk up, the smoke smell is exactly what pit-smoked bbq should smell like. Your mouth waters immediately. How's the taste? Okay. Here's my take on Cooper's. 1. It's expensive but thankfully, they offer 0% financing for 6-months so we decided to order anyway. I'm kidding of course but bring your wallet!! 2. The brisket is VERY tender. Literally falls apart. Good flavor but needs more bark. 6/10 3. Turkey had a good flavor. Closer to the skin had better taste. 7/10 4. The sauce is runny and more vinegar taste. 6/10. It's just not my thing. 5. Ribs were good too. 7/10 6. Potato salad was good. Beans were EXCELLENT. Had some kick. Really flavorful. Bottom line - Would we eat it again? Yes. Also, if you really want to fit in, don't forget your cowboy hat.

Don't let the outside line scare you away. You order on the outside and eat on the inside. The line moves fast and the food is amazing. In the heart of beef country, this barbecue is known for its pork. The brisket and the pork ribs were a flavorful reward following a days long drive from New Mexico.

Coppers is good bbq. They have lots to choose from and seem to be a staple for people in Llano and Austin. The half chicken was delicious, the jalapeño sausage was great, the brisket was a bit dry imo, but could just have been the piece we got. I love that they have a pickle and bean station for everyone- that bbq sauce is delicious. It's served hot (temperature) and that adds a nice touch to the sauce. It's a little confusing where you order and how the line goes - it was definitely a slow time in their day, so maybe it would be better understood when it's crowded and you follow the person in front of you. It's a pretty chill, laid back place. It's definitely a homey bbq place and not a bougie restaurant-so if that's what you're after this isn't it. It's a family friendly restaurant with saucy bbq fixins!
