Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que

LLANO. At Cooper's, you order meat by the pound at the counter, choosing from BBQ ribs, chicken, beef brisket, pork chops, sausage or even cabrito (goat). Serve yourself some sides (potato salad, cole slaw, beans, corn on the cob), pick up your utensils and make your way to a communal table. If you want the best seats, head outside, where you can watch the activity at the barbecue pits. Then, hunker down over smoky, delectable meat, and it will be clear why this super-casual place is so definitively Texas!
