I was so heartbroken to learn of its closing. I was trying to send a friend there when I found out. Everyone we visited the area, we ate there. The second time I ate there, I drove my family from Tampa just to eat there, no other reason. They loved it! I hope Mr. Rivers will consider bringing it to Tampa or Riverview. I didn’t know it was part of 4 Rivers and We love that place as well!Kid-friendliness: My grandkids loved the atmosphere!

Was not very popular. Food was okay, nothing great. There are much better places for fried chicken.

It was very good, staff were excellent and everyone was very polite from start to finish. We will definitely come again.

Anytime we were in this area, we stopped at the COOP and it was amazing. The staff was kind and personable. The food was scrumptious. There was never anything disappointing. Fast forward to today and we find out that they will be closing soon. We are so sad and we do hope they will re-open at another physical location. We sure could use a place like this in Tampa!

This place is amazing. Serious down home southern cooking. The service is beyond polite and fast. The chicken is wonderful so is the catfish and the shrimp and grits.The four sides are an outstanding meal.They are owned by 4Rivers so if you love their BBQ imagine it as fried chicken.

This was where my husband and I had breakfast every Saturday. We would run into John Rivers from time to time. The staff treat you like family. The biscuits were to die for. Everything, down to the coffee was just delicious. We heard that they are closing due to the landlord doubling the rent. Shame on them/him! Our hearts hurt because we are truly going to miss this place and especially the staff. They feel like part of our family.

This was a very disapointing visit, the fried chicken had no flavor and not fresh and cold, my wife had the catfish dinner and it was so ordinary with no flavor. My friends hsd a blt thas was less than ordinary and a chicken tenders sandwish were very disapointing and all of us left with the same sentiment that we will not come back to this place. Store bought chicken had more flavor and tastier then the stuff we got...

Loved everything we ordered. I had bacon & pecan pancakes w/ breakfast potatoes & jalapeños. The chicken portions are huge & tender. My daughter had chicken & a side of mac n cheese. Son had chicken & pancakes in place of waffles & my husband ordered a build your own bowl with biscuits. All 4 meals averaged $12 a piece!

I’ll start with the good first, clean, quick and excellent staff.The food was very disappointing. The fish fry coating on the fried green tomatoes is too crunchy and over powering, very unusual in not a good way was the horseradish sauce that accompanied it.Chicken pot pie was very small, doughy on the top, only had white and yellow corn and chicken in a thin sauce. Was a good amount of white meat chicken but no potatoes or any other veggies. Should have been called a chicken n corn pie.French fries cold, Mac n cheese mushy with no flavor.Chicken tenders and drink selection good.
Very grateful for the free meal for Teacher Appreciation!Food was fresh and the collard greens were my favorite.I see reviews that mention the chicken was overly salted, I didn’t have that issue. Paired well with White BBQ sauce. Definitely will be coming back!

Very high prices for extremely small portions. One- 2 inch biscuit w/gravy and a tiny side bowl with scrambled eggs and one small slice of bacon ripped in half. (Seriously) $14.00 ?! It's definitely the smallest portion I've ever received at a breakfast restaurant in my 54 years of life that I can remember.(Not even a slice of toast :(Thankfully their biscuits & gravy have a marvelous taste. But sadly, I can't see myself coming back.

The Coop was an excellent place for breakfast! I had a good time with some friends for our morning men’s group and the staff was very pleasant and accommodated all of our needs :)Parking: Parking is very good, plenty of space and convenient.

Service was spot on, the young lady working the register was super friendly and helpful as it was our first visiting and there were lots of options. Food was amazing! Only reason I gave food 4 stars instead of 5 was the portion of a featured item. It was a waffle Benedict I believe, it was half a waffle and one chicken tender cut in half. The chicken tender was perfectly battered, nice size, and juicy. Just wish I got one than 1. Poached egg was cooked perfect! We'll definitely be back!!
