After a 3-day work weekend at our new lease in Sonora and living off sandwiches and oatmeal bars, I was anxious for some decent food on my way home yesterday. I pulled into Junction, needing diesel and saw a Coopers BBQ and had to fill up both tanks (truck and mine). Ordered 1 lb Sliced brisket, 1 lb pork ribs (was taking some home to family) and a side of potatoe salad and beans with a large drink: $41! Proceeded down I-10 and started sampling.........WTH am I eating??? The brisket had to be the absolute worst I've ever had at a "restaurant" and I've eaten at Dickey's twice! The pork ribs were not far off, but at least edible. Sad thing is people traveling Texas stop in there for "Texas BBQ" a get something my dog wouldn't take!

It's hard to beat the original Cooper's BBQ....the 'satellite' locations like here in Austin are not even close to the same food quality. -
That Junction Coopers isn't affiliated with the one in Llano and, yeah, it's pretty terrible.Comment

Next time go down the road to Lum's BBQ in Junction. Better food and prices.Comment

I hunt in Junction, and never thought that that place was a real Coopers. My tip for anyone looking for food in Junction is the McDonalds or Pilot.. ha ha.
I only know of Coopers in Llano, New Braunfels and now Austin. Had the first 2 and they were both really good.Comment

Been hunting that area for 8 years and even the locals will not eat there.

I don't think that place has anything to do with Coopers BBQ. I went there once and couldn't finish a chopped beef sandwich. Terrible BBQ, possibly the worst I've ever had. Next time go S of 10 a mile or so and eat at Lum's.
