How long has Cooper's BBQ been there. I think it's been more than 30 years since we ate there.

Thirty years that I know of Bird, exactly how long, I'm not sure. We had some turkey, one rib and some sausage left over that sure was good today for Sunday lunch.
The Salt Lick is my all time favorite but Coppers is good BBQ.

I have a friend with his own airport and private plane who flies to Llano a couple of times per year just to eat at Coopers. I suspect he is really bored and just wants to go flying. That would be some expensive BBQ if that were the only reason.

Any reason to fly is good and really good BBQ is worth a trip no matter how far. I'll even go to Dallas (and I don't like that trip) for Sonny Bryan's over on Inwood. A better trip is to Lockhart or Taylor where both have several World Class BBQ joints to choose from.

Next time you get the idea to go for BBQ in Taylor (although Muellers is some of the best) go on down the road to the Salt Lick next to the Dell Diamod. I personally prefer the original Salt Lick at Driftwood but the Dell Diamond location is the next best thing. It is good.
I'm planning a trip to Franklin's in Austin sometime soon. It was written up in Texas Monthly recently and my son says it's great.

I had some decent BB-Q while working in East Texas Monday. Called "Texas Best Smoke House" surprisingly good and at a Shell travel plaza ta-boot!! I have eaten at two of them on I-20 near Tyler and Kilgore. Large portions and a 3 meat combo was only $12:thumbsup:
BTW, It is windy as heck! Storms on the way!!

I've got to look for that place next time. I was in Tyler yesterday and when I was by "Stanley's" the lot was full and you couldn't get in, so I passed it up. Later I ate at my favorite Tacoria in Tyler "El Lugar". A #7 burrito and it was great!!! A #7 & a Dr Pepper was $5 and change.

I just heard that the storm that is supposed to hit tomorrow is holding together and expected to be something big. We're expecting 4 to 6 inches with flooding in areas.
My small pond is about a foot low, so this should fill it up and then some, and my big pond is still three feet low, not counting what I'm planing to raise it up to. The big lakes are about 3 feet low also.
I'm getting my mowing done today because it's going to be awhile before I can get to it again!!!
