Everyone was friendly from staff to the customers, Southern hospitality from a gentleman offering to open the door for us to the genuine smiles from wait staff. Our waitress, Kaylee was so attentive to us. She was fast, food came out immediately, and every little side dish and condiments we ordered she remembered. I’ve always been a fan of Southern food. I like the good portions but you can also get sides of pretty much everything from mac and cheese, collard greens, sweet potato casserole. We did add the chicken livers to our order. I enjoyed the pulled pork BBQ but I really loved the catfish. Nice crunchy exterior breading, light and flaky inside. Collars greens, creamy coleslaw was a nice addition. The sweet potato casserole with that slight crunch from the pecan toppings is so satisfying to eat. Wash down my corn bread buttered up with some sweet tea and it was just heavenly. I was astonished when we got the bill for $58. We had 5 full meals the addition of the chicken livers and 4 drinks. That was such great value for all the yummy goodness we ate. As a random food stop find in the beginning of our 14 hour drive back home to Chicago, we were glad to have found this place. Bathrooms are exceptionally clean also and my 5 year old could reach the sink with no problem. Thank you Kaylee for the wonderful experience and our full bellies. Will definitely highly recommend this place to...
Read moreWe have eaten at The Copper Pot for a couple of years now. Over the past few month's we have noticed a difference with the food not tasting like it use to. Maybe new cooks or different suppliers but it has gone downhill. This afternoon, my son was in Mt. Airy and brought us supper home from The Copper Pot. The food was seriously inedible. The chicken livers were horribly dry and I honestly can't even describe what was supposed to be baked spaghetti. The okra and sweet potato casserole were good so that was pretty much what we had for a meal today. I understand an off day now and then but, this, has been declining for awhile. We have agreed that we don't want to waste any more money there to just dump the food in the trash like we had to today. I normally do very good reviews on here but this time, I can't
After this restraunt was closed for remodeling, we did in fact give it another try and once again, the food was back to being fantastic. We will continue to eat there and continue to take our guest, whether local or out of town,there. It was good to see that they kept their word. The service there has always been great so ya'll keep doing what you are doing. Changing my rating back to 5...
Read moreThis was my first visit at The Copper Pot. When we went in, they were busy. Most of the tables were full, and if not full, it was dirty. We chose to go ahead and sit down even though the table needed to be cleaned. It took 10 minutes for the staff to even acknowledge we were there! This visit was due to a recommendation or we would have left. The server came over, told us she would clean the table and took our drink order. She brought out drinks and sat them on a dirty table! I'm sorry, but youre supposed to clean the table BEFORE serving the patrons. Other workers cleaned 3 other tables while ours remained dirty! I couldnt believe it. Well, when we finally got our food, it was good. The salt & pepper catfish was really good, according to my son, and that's saying something. My other son ordered toast and it took 10 minutes for it to be brought out, even though it was supposed to come with his meal. I had salisbury steak, and while it was good, it was nothing special. It really is a shame that the slow server is what I remember most about our visit to...
