"Very solid meal and dining experience. I would give a 4.5 if possible. Stopped on our travels north for lunch on Father’s Day, around 1:00 pm. The place was hopping. Not many dining choices in this area. Ample parking and a large dining area with tables efficiently serviced so that they turn over quickly. Our wait for a table was only 10-minutes, following a group of 18! The service was the star of the experience. Very efficient, helpful, attentive servers. Shout out to Suzanna. The large staff worked well together and seemed to make everyone feel comfortable. The ambience is southern, hometown casual. You feel like you are visiting your large family from start to finish. Nothing pretentious. Clean enough. Comfortable. Pricing….in this time of food inflation, this restaurant still offers amazing prices. My husband and I had two large dinner entrees with water and our bill came to just under $24.00. Our portions were generous as evidence in the photo. Our waitress recommended the grilled pork chops which were hot, juicy and seasoned just right. They came with two veggie sides from a long list of choices. I chose collard greens and Mac and cheese. These items were just average and only luke warm as was the biscuit (from a choice of about 5 bread options). Had the sides been hot and a little more flavorful, I would have given 5 stars. For vegetarians and all-day breakfast eaters, Cooper Pot is your place; so much to choose from on their menu. Vegans might struggle as most southern cooking includes dairy and it looks as if they cook their sides in large quantities and keep them in a warmer to serve. The ability to respond quickly to large numbers of travelers and locals, with solid, well-priced, filling meals is the gift of the Copper Pot. We will return when traveling their way."

"5 of us visited the Copper Pot Restaurant for the first time. We were seated and quickly served our orders. Everything was delicious. The pancakes were dinner plate in size and cooked perfectly. Everyone ordered something different from the menu and everything was amazing. We will DEFINITELY be coming back !"

"Food was not that great. Chicken had way too much breading on it making it look bigger than it was. The waitress never came back to the table to see if we needed anything- yet sit down at a table and had a conversation with 2 guys like she wasn't working. The atmosphere was fair"

"Southern Style cooking and food is good and prices are fair. The big bowl of Pinto Beans was enough to fill me up. I have been there several times when visiting the area and only have two complaints. One, I like pepper sauce like I show in my added photos in my greens and pinto beans. It doesn't cost much and can be reused by adding white vinegar. The second complaint is they do not serve butter. What they serve and call it butter is a whipped spread made up of 48% vegetable oil and not any amount of dairy products in it as shown in the label on the other picture. I'm ok with bringing my own pepper sauce in if I have to but I draw the line at having to bring my own butter."
