Thanks for the tip, this seems quite interesting.
I just looked up Coopers in Ilano. Quite an operation it appears.
Small note however, the very first online review I read went “This place is under new management and is no longer worth the drive or the price! “
It sounds from your inital review quite good. Is the place still good for a road trip? There are a large number of reviews, is that just statistical noise on the most recent ones?
I appreciate your feedback if you respond, may very well, visit sometime.
Thank you.
regarding the comments, there was a long line at around 4:30 on a Saturday after noon. We were from out of state. the others were Texans
We ate at several other BBQ houses two of which were listed in the top 5 in Texas. Coopers in Llano has hands down the best brisket. The best and unique sausage was at Smitties Market in Lockhart.
Although the BBQ in Llano might be reason enough for a road trip, 40 miles down the road in Fredricksburg is the Nimitz Museum of the War in the Pacific. There is a recent addition called the George HW Bush Gallery that details the American efforts from say 1939 until the end. It is too much for us in one long day so we spent two half days. This museum is a treasure
