The owner of Coops West Texas BBQ said since he made the announcement last Tuesday that he was closing his business, people from all over San Diego County have been waiting in line to dine at his restaurant. “When people started hearing about the closing, it was such an outpouring of love. It brought tears to my eyes when I came out here and saw line all the way to the street,” said Cooper.

These are the types of business we need to patronize, not multinational chains like McDonalds

Great food there, been there several times & I'll be back. Too bad they don't close later so folks can get food after work. I think their lunch only hours hurts their business.

Went there years ago. The cashier couldn’t do math. The cooks had to help her out. Haven’t been back since.

What happens after the people leave again? Going broke never comes as a sudden shock, it's a pattern of bad habits. Best of luck to Coops, but people wont be there all the time. These high prices are here to stay and lending will be expensive.

This place is expensive for a meal and it didn’t help when Popeyes chicken set up shop right down the street from them, they would have to have this same crowd every day in order to stay open.
