    The brisket and the ribs were delicious. The potato salad was one of the best ones I've ever had in my life. Since it's simply in a food truck/trailer, it gives off an authentic outdoor BBQ experience similar to a picnic since all seating is located outdoors.

    Amazing bbq. Got the 3 meat plate with spicy vinegar slaw and potato salad. The slaw...oh man...so good...my mouth was slightly on fire but I could not stop eating it. Brisket, tri tip and pulled pork all melted in my mouth!!! I shall find you again when I return to Austin!!!!

    Excellent, a true hidden gem. The owner is very nice, and the venue is a vibe. I recommend getting the brisket, it's one of the most tender I've had and pairs really well with the creamy slaw and bbq sauce. I'll be back again!

    This place is fire. We live down the street and had no idea it was located in the Pickleball club. Found out about it via an Offline deal and we're not disappointed. We tried a sampler (turkey, brisket, ribs and sausage) with potato salad. The meat was moist and juicy with three sauce options. Spicy sauce was our fave. We would absolutely get BBQ from here again!

    On my way to the Austin airport, I did a search for good bbq in the area and B Cooper was one of many that popped up. The reason I decided to give them a try is because the others looked like popular, busy restaurants and I didn't have time to wait in a long line. Upon arrival, I realized that they were set up like a food truck off of the side of a road. They actually occupy a large outdoor space where they have their bbq set up and tables/chairs for customers to eat. There were only two other customers there so this is definitely a hidden gem! I ordered the 2 meats for $20 and selected the sausage and brisket, along with the pinto beans (I wasn't sure what side to get and the owner recommended that). Such a great value for the amount of food that I got! The brisket was extremely tender and tasty, as was the sausage. This was definitely one of the best Texas BBQ's that I've had! It came with 3 sauces - sweet, spicy and vinegar. The pinto beans were also amazing. The only drawback to this place is that if you choose to eat there, the flies will try to get a taste of your finger-lickin' food. You just can't avoid them. This is no fault to the owner though, but I just wanted to warn you. Don't pass this place up if you're in the Austin area!

    Must try BBQ spot(s) in Austin On my first trip to Austin, I visited a friend and we did a blind Austin BBQ taste test between three different local restaurants. Terry Blacks, Ironworks, and B cooper. Below is a ranking how they fared, with my favorites ranked in each category. My one caveat is that we got the food to go. If I return I will update my review with how the restaurant stacks up. B cooper - In the local barbecue food competition, I think there were some highs and lows at B Cooper BBQ. In the high category, we have what is undoubtedly the most important part of barbecue food, the sausage and the brisket. I thought the brisket was very tasty and it only came in second place to Terry Blacks. It broke apart nicely and was very juicy. I would be very happy if I got this at a restaurant. The sausage was great and had a bit of a smoky flavor. The lows were the sides. I didn't love the baked beans. There was a weird flavor to them. They weren't dry, because they were suspended in liquid, but I'm not sure what went wrong here. It might have been an over the top artificial smoky flavor and made it not great. Again, this could be due to traveling home with it so I won't take too much away from that. Also, the pickle is not my favorite. It's not crinkle cut like normal pickles, and it felt more like a cucumber that hadn't fully evolved yet. Overall, I would not be disappointed coming back and trying this place. However, I think Terry, Black's and Iron works are the only other places that I outranked B Cooper on my taste test.

    A top BBQ in Austin and flying under the radar of influencers right now. Definitely coming back and highly recommend this spot to any barbecue lover! Surprisingly had no line at all on Saturday morning. I imagine it's only a matter of time before it gets one! The owner was a super nice guy. Got the three meat plate and the sausage and baby back ribs are my favorite so far. Sausage Juicy, packed with Smokey flavor, light pepper kick. Baby back ribs Low and slow, fall off the bone soft with tasty bark and pink smoked edges. Brisket Juicy, soft and moist brisket with tasty bark. Cooked perfectly. Brisket goes better with the spicy BBQ here to balance the flavor and add some pepper! This was delicious, but it didn't quite have the same flavor kick as the ribs or sausage without sauces. The sweet sauce is flavorful and goes well with all meats, but spicy goes better with brisket. Enjoy extremely tasty Austin BBQ without a wait!

    You can find this place by the smell. We almost drove past it and then I smelled it. Follow your nose to this delicious food truck parked off the street with amazing outdoor seating. The ribs were amazing, the pulled pork... no words! Eat here. Don't go to a fancy restaurant

    I was looking for a new BBQ joint to try out and B Coopers came up in my search, and relatively close to downtown. B Coopers is a food trailer located off of Manor stationed at a Pickle Ball Court, which I found out after roaming the area looking for it. Best parking is on Curtis St. or in the parking lot behind the pickle ball court. It was a one man operation and luckily I was the first customer for the day. The guy is super friendly and got my food to me quickly. I ordered the Texas Trinity and the meat was tender and delicious. My sides were the spicy coleslaw and potato salad. I'm not much of a coleslaw eater but B Coopers' slaw was sweet and tangy, crunchy with a kick of heat. Since B Coopers is a food trailer there's not a whole lot of seating options in the shade. I found a table that was slightly under the shade of a pecan tree, but it was on an incline so I had to keep an eye on my food from rolling off the table.

    LOCATED IN THE PICKLE-BALL COURT y'all are absolutely sleeping on this place. Almost couldn't find it. So few places where the brisket is the best part, but this placed had awesome brisket, would come back for the brisket alone. Got the 2 meat plate with brisket, sausage, potato salad and beans. It was all good.

    So being a Texas native but living in Denver at the moment, I've been jonesing for some good ole' TX BBQ for a few years. Originally I was planning on hitting up Terry Black's or Franklin's but the house we were staying at was in close proximity to B Coopers. After realizing the other two would have been a whole day adventure in this oppressive heat, I opted to give the closer, less well known joint a shot. Thank you baby Jesus, this place is the real deal. I went with the 4 meat combo, double sausage, brisket, and baby back ribs with creamy coleslaw and some potato salad. All that came with fresh jalapeños, onions, and what I can only assume are home made sliced pickles and bread. Oh yeah and 3 different sauces (sweet, spicy, and vinegar) loved them all! Sausage - juicy, dripping, incredible flavor Brisket - not too lean, not too fatty, just right, juicy, and incredible (Prob the best I've had tbh) Ribs - Fall off the bone, ridiculous flavor Sides - definitely heavy on the vinegar but delicious nonetheless All this was a whopping $25 after tax oh and virtually no wait. (Crazy good value/dollar) Fed my wife and I and a friend had a few bites. Still had some leftover. Absolutely killer value. Probably going to go back tomorrow before we head to Dallas for the 4th. Damn I wish Colorado had BBQ like this

    When you read that this is a hidden gem, believe it. It's tucked away in a little strip of grass that can be a little hard to miss if it's your first time stopping by. It's one guy with his smoker making wonderful food and that's all it needs to be. The value for money is incredible - you get several meals worth of food for just over 20 bucks. While all the food was fantastic, the brisket and sausage are phenomenal and a must-try. The spicy slaw and beans were a standout to me but all of the sides were good. I read that the lamb is just as good as the brisket but I didn't get a chance to try it (definitely next time, though). You get plenty of sauces (both the sweet and the spicy vinegar sauces are excellent), house pickles, onion, jalapenos, and bread with every meal too. Blaine is super accomodating and will bring out cutlery and napkins if you're staying to eat. There's a covered area with tables or you can take the food to-go if you prefer. This is straight up a great spot. If you live here or you're just visiting, give this place a try. It's no-fuss delicious food that stands up to all of the other BBQ joints without the wait. You won't regret it!

    Dry rub on the spare ribs has a nice kick. Superb!
    Daniel D.

    Hard to beat. Circled this East 7th neighborhood gem for awhile before finally giving in. Grades higher than anything I've had in the town that starts with an L, and fits right in with the rest of the heavy hitters in East Austin. Brisket and spare ribs were smoked to perfection. The ribs had a generous dry rub that I was all about. Oddly enough, star of the show was the housemade pickled cucumbers and jalapeños. Don't tell pork I have a thing for a good pickle once in awhile.

    They are OPEN!!

We arrived and in a few minutes we were seated at a table and immediately given water in mason jars and asked for our drink order. I opted just got an Arnold Palmer but the drink menu had some cute cocktails and mocktails, as well as a nice selection of beer and wine. Instead of bread, our server brought us a basket of seasoned popcorn. The popcorn had almost like a Cajun flair, but it wasn't spicy. It reminded me of the Ground Round chain from when I was a little girl. We decided to try the corndog shrimp appetizer. I couldn't decide on an entree because everything looked so good, so I did the Parmesan chicken and my coworker did the steak salad. The shrimp arrived so quickly with four large pieces of shrimp on a stick wrapped in corn dog batter and fried to a golden brown, with a blueberry mustard dipping sauce. The shrimp were delicious and while I didn't get much of the blueberry in the mustard, I enjoyed the sweetness it provided. My Parmesan chicken was a crispy and juicy breaded chicken cutlet with a lemon cream, artichoke hearts, and what appeared to be prosciutto on top. It was served with a side of pesto couscous with grape tomatoes and cucumbers. I wish I had ordered mashed potatoes on the side, because I wanted something to soak up the lemon cream sauce, which was the highlight of the chicken. We also were served 3 mini cornbread muffins with honey butter. My coworker said the salad was just okay, and was a little on the small side. The desserts were definitely a MUST and if you visit Moonshine and don't save room for the Espresso Brownie or the Peanut Butter Pie, you're going to regret it. The brownie was so fudgey and warm and served with ice cream. It was decadent. The peanut butter pie was the biggest slab of PB pie I've ever had with a thick Oreo crust. I wish I had someone with me to share it, it was huge. Overall, if I lived in the area I would definitely be back to try other things.

The country style pork ribs are fantastic - tender to the bone, succulent with flavors, but not a rub that's overwhelming on the palate. There's not much else - the scant amount of coleslaw is lacking, and even though we ordered two entrees, we received only one dinner role. I asked for extra bread and got charged $4 for two more rolls which is annoying and also a poor business practice. It's also confusing how you order two things for two different people and it all ends up on the same plate. And then they asked if we were sharing? The value simply isn't here - total bill ended up being $75 before tax and tip. For three ribs and overdone brisket. I suppose there were some onion rings and pickles in there as well. I'm trying another place next time. That's all.
