★★★★☆ 4.0 Ronald Braun · Jan 2026

This is a destination place if you like pitmaster bbq. I would have given 5 stars if better parking was available as i had to park a block away. I had the sampler in order to be fair. Note: texas bbq leans heavy on the vinegar side but i did not hold that against them. My favorites of the meal were the brisket, pulled pork, and sausage in that order. The turkey was ok as well as the chicken minutes the rubbery skin (there is a way to fix that). The ribs were the least on that plate as they were heavily spiced. M y favorite side was the dirty rice .... literally the best i have had. The warm potato salad was just OK and the spicy corn was ok but needed the sauce mixed with the corn prior to garnishing. The banana pudding was also very good. Drinks come with this two person meal. Pricing is

We’re from out of town and I travel a lot, so I was really craving some good Texas BBQ. Koop’s came up in my search, and it did not disappoint. The brisket was tender, the turkey is a must, and the sides were awesome. There was even a small line right at 11am, but it moved fast and we got right in. Friendly staff, tasty food, and worth the stop. I’d definitely come back next time I’m in the area. Decked out with Christmas decor and fun Christmas music.

We got there a little before 11am, we were first in line. The place filled up fast! Ordered at the counter and Kevin was quick to bring our drinks. Food was ready in just minutes. Top notch Brisket, pulled pork, house sausage, and ribs! Try the Banana pudding!

Very good! I asked the staff if the BBQ sauce had soy sauce in it, and they don’t. I am gluten free and had no issues with any of the food I had — the brisket, sausage (very sage-forward), the beans (spicier than I anticipated, but not in a bad way), potato salad, and BBQ sauce (very vinegary and delicious). You can park on the street, and there are a few parking spots on the side. My wife and I got two-meat plates and we made them two meals per plate, easy.

Koops is a great BBQ place for lunch or just take out . We just stopped by quickly to check it out . We had take away with some of the bbq meats . It was tender , well cooked , a little too much seasoning for our liking but all in all it was a great visit .
