"Bypass the downtown Austin and the New Braunfels locations of Cooper’s and head straight for mini-chain’s first location. The Llano pits are where so many cuts of meat are smoked (don’t miss out on the pork chops) and there’s plentiful seating. Even better: barbecue is available into the evening hours as well. Takeout and dine-in services are available." - Nadia Chaudhury
