So glad this gem was saved. Everything was amazing, especially that sweet potato pie. Lord whoever made that was heaven sent.

Love it when the community comes together to save a small business from fully closing. Coops is now open on Fri-Sun 10-3. CASH ONLY. We came on a raining Sat and was the first in line by 9:15am. We placed our order at 9:57am and got our order in 15 mins. Rainy day special of 10% off. We got a 1/2 slab pork ribs, 1/2 lb brisket, 1/2 lb jerk chicken, 1/2 lb sausage, candied yams, Mac n cheese, corn bread (requested corner piece) and sweet tea. Everything was so tender, moist with a smokey flavor of oak wood (they ran out of mesquite wood). The sausage and chicken was our least favorite. The pork ribs and brisket were our top two. The ribs had so much flavor deep into the bones and didnt need sauce. Both had the right amount of fattiness. We asked for corner cut pieces of the corn bread to get the extra crispiness on the edges. Sweet tea is a must at bbq places. Be prepared to take on that pre diabetes goodness. My fianc said its one of the best Mac n cheese hes had. Im not a Mac n cheese gal but I liked it bc it was cheesy without being cheesy. Know that Coops bbq is Texas dry rub style with a thin wet layer, not drenched in sauce. They do give you spicy and non spicy bbq sauce. Parking is in a small lot with tons of street parking. Four picnic indoor tables. Across the parking lot, there are outdoor seatings in the former Coops chicken and waffles building.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of experiencing Coop's West Texas BBQ down in Lemon Grove with a friend and it was WORTH THE WAIT! In line about 20 minutes, and you could tell people were looking forward to their Q! Had the beef brisket small boy sandwich, potato salad and sweet tea. Every bit and taste of all 3 were LEGIT! If you enjoy good BBQ, especially Texas BBQ, hit this place up! (Please bring cash!)
