    We enjoyed Cajun deliciousness including solid gumbo, indulgence hot crab claws and dense and yummy biscuits. The service here is consistently attentive, I like to sit in the bar area. The ambiance feels like an elevated bistro tucked off of the French quarter. This restaurant has been great for decades, wow!

    Crawfish Bread

    Crazy busy for father's day dinner, ordered takeout. Only 1 person working that station so it got a little backed up, multiple servers checked to make sure I had been taken care of. Crawfish Bread was outstanding!

    I had the crash and burn punch bowl.

    Colin H. Was my server I enjoyed my visit food was good and my service was great. I had Jazzy wings, buffalo spring rolls, 1/2 dozen of the rockefeller oysters and the butter and honey biscuits to go.

    We had a last-minute urge to go out and get dinner. We went to Copelands with an open mind. We thoroughly enjoyed their oysters, Rockefeller and grilled oysters. We shared a half rack of ribs with the mashed sweet potato and coleslaw sides. The biscuits will like comfort food. We also sampled the chicken and waffles. Everything taste great. The ambience was casual with loud environment, but it was enjoyable. We also visited by musician who played guitar at our table. We sampled some of their alcoholic drinks, which were all tasty. All in all, it was quite an entertaining Friday night with great company and food. I will see if I was very attentive and explain the menu when we had questions. The food came out in shorted order. We appreciated the free parking lot parking outside the restaurant. This would be a good choice for a casual night out/date night/catching up with friends.

    I drive past this restaurant all the time and I've always wanted to stop in, but just never found myself doing so until today. I met up with some coworkers after work and we were grabbing lunch and some drinks. I arrived first and was seated right away in a booth near the bar. My waitress, Tiana, was fantastic, she came up right away and grabbed my drink order. I ordered the sangria which was a bit too sweet for me but it was huge and definitely had a solid alcohol pour. After the sangria I switched it up for the Bloody Mary which was just my speed, I loved it! For food, I ordered a starter of the Bayou broccoli which is very tasty. It was actually very unique to anything that I've had and I'm really glad that I tried it. For my meal I ordered the shrimp and Tasso pasta. The pasta had a lot of flavor. It was maybe a touch too salty for me, but I think that was due to the pork in the dish overall, though I would probably order it again. Every dish came with a buttered biscuit, which was also delicious. I am so glad I finally made it to Copeland's. I had such a great experience which was absolutely made by the amazing service that we got.

    Good spot for weekend Brunch Sat/Sun. In with party of 4 in Sunday and went in for 10 am when they open. Lots of open parking with regular table seating as well as bar and covered w closed patio seating. Promptly seared and Josh server was quick to greet us and take drink orders. As was our first visit he explained the various serving stations and where to go. Good opening crowd but it definitely got more crowded by 11-1130. The waffles were freshly made hot and tasty, meat carving station with brisket, ham and Roast was good. Mac and cheese, Caesar salad were all good. Two types of bread pudding for dessert. Overall pretty good brunch buffet and would return.

    My coworker and I are visiting from Phoenix to support training the new Jacksonville location, and everyone at work raved about the weekend brunch at Copeland's. We arrived to a busy parking lot on a Sunday at 1pm, so we had hopes that it was a great place if drawing that kind of crowd. We didn't make a reservation, but we were quickly seated in less than 10 minutes. Kaitlyn and Kiara greeted us and ensured our drinks stayed replenished. Both were very friendly and personable to advise where to get both savory and more sweet selections on the other side of the restaurant. Personally, it was a bit loud which I didn't enjoy. Large crowds are seated near you, so it can be hard to talk to who you are with. Though overall the food was pretty tasty. I highly recommend their biscuits. I'll admit that I longed for more seafood and likely wouldn't return for brunch, but rather their full dinner menu. Overall, I definitely think it's worth checking out whether you are visiting or a local.

    We came in on Fat Tuesday, so it was definitely busy -- but honestly, the staff handled it really well. Even with the crowd, our food came out faster than I expected and everything was fresh and flavorful. The portions were great and exactly what you want on a day like that. You can tell the kitchen was on point, even under pressure. Our server stayed friendly, patient, and checked in on us without making us feel rushed, which I really appreciated considering how packed it was. Overall, it was a fun, lively experience and a perfect place to be on Fat Tuesday. I'd absolutely come back -- especially knowing they can still deliver great service when it's slammed.

    We went to Copelands for the first time today for Sunday brunch. We arrived there as they opened at 10am. Not crowded yet, but later it drew a crowd. There was plenty of seating and the service was excellent. The place was clean and there were a few stations for waffles, desserts, carving station, omelets , fish, chicken , salad and fruit to name a few. We enjoyed it and will definitely return.

    We came back to visit one of our favorite places in Jacksonville. Crayfish etoufee is as good as it's ever been. Service is great and friendly. And prices are pretty good for what you get.

    Every time I've come to this restaurant it's been really well for me. This food has been nice service have been good. I always like to order the crawfish étouffée. It was so good. Definitely a lot of food you can probably take some home with you I'm never able to finish it all in one sitting. my friend Got the chicken dish not exactly sure which one it is I'm so sorry and then we had a bowl of gumbo and a bowl of corn soup I think it was. Really good! I've sat in the bar area that area was really nice it was the bar but still kind of quiet and a great laid-back grown and sexy type of scene. When I'm sat in the dining room it was very nice too very cozy it was pretty busy that day but again not too loud. I'll definitely be back again

    Went for happy hour with discounted drinks and appetizers. Service was great and the appetizers were tasty. They had only 4 selections for appetizers in the happy hour menu, but wine and drinks are discounted so it is a reasonably priced place to go and happy lasts until 7:00 pm.

    Came with high expectations as a were visiting from out of town. Food was mediocre at best. Ambiance was nice though. Service was ok.

Though the parking lot was busy, I was sat immediately and noticed they were not too busy on a Friday night 7:30pm - likely an indicator of the experience to come. Kaitlyn was very friendly in greeting and throughout the meal. She was obviously the only bright spot on this experience, since you see the star rating. The soda lacked carbonation in the coke, so I mentioned it tasting off to me. I switched to an Orange Fanta, and that too lacked carbonation. Ended up just eating my spicy crab combo with no drink. Which thankfully, spicy is no where near spicy at this location. Medium at best if you order spicy. Genuinely let down, especially since it is ONE cluster for $38.99. Definitely felt this was a skip, and then was shocked when the bill came... As a party of one, I was charged automatic gratuity of 12%, which is bewildering to me. Larger parties? Totally get it! But a party of one, which I was shocked but they do list on the menu of prices. I almost tipped 20% on top of the bill, until I was looking into why it was higher than I expected. Additionally, $4.99 for a soda that doesn't even have the syrup and carbonation properly calibrated?! Wowza, what a letdown for $50+ for dining alone. If you are in Jacksonville, you are surrounded by lots of good seafood places. Big crab? Personally, a pass for me.

I only get the lobster rolls when I come here and they're more than worth the visit. The portions of lobster are generous and always super fresh and tasty. They used Martins potato bun for the rolls which work perfectly with some butter and a light toast on the grill. The remoulade sauce is a nice to pair with the onion rings on the side if you're looking for something to pair with the lobster rolls or the seafood. I've tried the fried shrimp a couple of times. They're good but the lobster rolls easily outshine them. The fried chips that come with your order are good but I generally don't eat many. This is what you'll get in place of your typical French fries. I think it's a nice change up. The atmosphere here is clean but nothing fancy. It's basic and simple but it gets the job done. Service is always fast and the people are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you're in Jax and have a taste for a great lobster roll!
