Delicious BBQ with great atmosphere! 🍖


Review by Lelah Schamberger

Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que is a gem in downtown Austin! 🌟 The atmosphere is a cozy mix of trendy and casual, perfect for a laid-back meal. I started with their mouthwatering brisket, which was incredibly tender and smoky. Don’t skip the cocktails - my friend loved the signature margarita!

We enjoyed fast service despite the crowds, and the outdoor seating was a plus. Just a heads up: finding parking can be tricky, but it’s worth it for such delicious BBQ! Can’t wait to go back! 🍖✨
