I was pleasantly surprised by this nice little place in Valley Junction. The service was great, the sangria special of the night was delicious, and the menu items were unique. We shared the pulled pork nachos and the pulled pork sandwich, which were both wonderful. We also had reuben egg rolls, which were surprisingly good. I think it's really neat that they have egg roll "specials" that change each day--they're unique and very tasty!
We'll definitely be going back to try their smoked gouda mac and cheese and cajun meatloaf!
I have now been here twice. Once for lunch and another time for appetizers and drinks. Both times I have received excellent customer service. The last time I was in my friend and I split the spinach, artichoke, crab dip. At first we were skeptical about including crab in a very classic appetizer, but it proved delicious. I generally do not like crab. The sandwich/soup I had on my first visit was also excellent.
I enjoy the relaxed, yet classy atmosphere and one of the best Bloody Marys I've found in the metro. A welcome addition the Valley Junction area.
Went to Cooper's on a Saturday night with my wife. Â I must say that the Valley Junction part of town is kind of sad. Â It just looks like an old worn down mainstreet that is slowly dying. Â I do hope that the establishments stay in business but from the looks of the area it looks like it will be a ghost town soon.
On to the review, my wife and I walked in and were a bit taken aback at how empty the place was. Â It is medium to small space but I would say it was only about 10% full. Â We ordered the pulled pork nachos to start. Â Very good albeit a bit greasy although these were nachos so what do you expect...very good, we ate them all.
My wife and I then opted for burgers, she had the junction burger and i had the cielo burger. Â both were actually really good. Â juicy, hot and well seasoned. Â i wish the buns were more distinctive but the fresh patties were very good. Â The wedge fries were nice and hot and fresh.
My wife also had a side salad which she got with the house dressing. Â The house dressing is great, especially to dip fries into, although be warned there is A LOT of garlic in the dressing. Â RAW garlic. Â So if you don't like that huge garlicky flavor to linger then do not getting the dressing.
All in all pretty good, a cut above the standard bar food. Â Not sure if we will be back but it was definitely good and good value for the money.
Being a WDM local I enjoy exploring new establishments near me. Â I heard about Coopers back when I was a regualr at Limey's Pub just a few blocks away and I new Cooper and a few others that worked there. Â Cooper is a great guy and you should ask him how he met his wife sometime lol
Myself and a friend stopped in here awhile ago and although I did not try any of the food as we were already eating elsewhere that night this is a small friendly neighborhood style bar and restaurant. Â The word of mouth must be getting around as my own father asked me the other day whether or not I have tried Cooper's as his friend was mentioning how good the food was...I look forward to stopping in again soon.
Had the Cobb salad, and it was like there was a, party in my mouth and everyone was invited. There were carefully cut baby tomatoes, blue cheese, flour tortilla chips, and a perfect amount of tender, seasoned chicken. WARNING: The house dressing may cause you to pass out from flavor overload. The Parmesan and garlic combination was the BEST tasting dressing that I've ever had.
They have a great wine and beer selection too.
We ate there on Friday night while visiting family in Des Moines. We had the pulled pork egg rolls which were delicious. I had the Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese. This is quite possibly the best mac and cheese dish I have ever eaten. They use the large size shells and bake it with the cheese which gets very melty and gooey and covers everything perfectly. Everyone in the family was very happy with their meal. Our orders ranged from burgers to the Cuban sandwich. I only wish this restaurant was in Denver so I could eat there all the time. Oh, and make sure you look at all the wood carving done up at the bar.
