Cooper's BBQ

When Mark & Kim Cooper were attending Angelo State University in the mid-80s, they had no idea fate would bring them back to the Concho Valley, but that is precisely what transpired in 2016. Growing up in Mason, TX in the early 70s, Mark had the opportunity to be raised in a family of pitmasters, nurturing an intuition for true Texas BBQ from his grandfather, George Cooper, and his uncle, Tommy Cooper. These two pit pioneers taught Mark everything he knows, and he became enamored with it, so he vowed there would be a day when he would open up his own place, and continue the tradition of his grandfather. He envisioned an inclusive, family-friendly atmosphere, showcasing local talent as well as world-renowned musicians; this is our philosophy, our mission statement, and our motto. We sincerely hope you enjoy our dream as much as we enjoyed building it for you, and we appreciate y’all for making this establishment such a special and unique artifact of West Texas. Love, The Coopers
