One of my fave AVL restaurants for special occasions; delicious food, knowledgeable staff and great atmosphere. Cant recommend highly enough (and suggest a reservation!) read more

It's been a few minutes since The Very Delectable Mrs Funk and I have added a meal review but the small eclectic establishment we visited this mountain evening is well worth more than the handful of words that follow! Small plates or full plates, Sazerac or wine, blackened catfish or pork schnitzel, crab stuffed quail or pan seared scallops, collard greens or roasted cauliflower and all things in between. When in Asheville, dismiss this joint and you have passed the cutoff to gastronomic nirvana. No matter the day no matter the time make a reservation....'nuff said. read more

The food here was really good and service was great. The portions are a decent size. Everything our table ordered was delicious and their drinks are also very good! Next time I'm in Asheville I will definitely come back here. read more

2 out of 4 of the entries were very good. The other 2 weren't. Those were the skirt steaks. So tough that it was difficult to chew.

A precious jewel in East Asheville. Fantastic people; delicious, moderately-priced meals; warm, comfortable, and inviting environs. Simply charming and very "Asheville." Easy access and accommodations for the disabled. Do not pass on dessert! read more

I was gifted a meal here by someone who really knows good food and wine and wow, Copper Crown did not disappoint!! Excellent menu and beverage choices. Nice vibe! We'll definitely be back! read more

Walked in tonight without reservations. They said they had a lot of people coming around six fifteen, so we sat on the patio. I didn't see those people end up coming. We just had water to drink. They do have quite the selection of beer, wine and actually non alcoholic spirits as well. We weren't really in the mood to share small plates, so we ordered hamburgers. What stood out, It was seasoned, and it was also cooked medium as requested. However, it wasn't an amazing burger. read more

Small restaurant with amazingly great food! We had 3 small plates. The roasted local Mushrooms were cooked perfectly. It was served delightfully hot with a creamy rice polenta, snow peas, a little pesto and pepitas. I admit I couldn't wait and took a scoop before I took the picture (sorry, not sorry). Ben, our delightful and helpful server, delivered our next pick. The gnocchi, served hot with peas, poppy seeds, spinach and a little goat cheese was nicely balanced and delicious. Our 3rd pick is our "do NOT miss" dish. Braised Beef Cheeks. They were done to perfection and so tender that we never even thought of touching a knife. The flavor was rich and robust. They were served on a bed of macaroni with hot fresh blueberries and little crisp chunks of pickled rhubarb. What an amazing blend of flavors. We are definitely going back to try other menu items. Copper Crown is in a little shopping building with extra parking underneath so it was a little tough to find. Cute and clean and busy inside with outdoor covered seating. Service was quick and excellent and we loved that the food was served hot. read more

The service by the host and server was great. I loved the interior vibe but opted to eat on the patio. It didn't have the same vibe as inside as the view was parked cars and Tunnel Road. There were ceiling fans and music. I had the LoFi Burger, sweet potato fries, and a glass of wine. The food was very tasty. I noticed other tables had been more adventurous than me with the food they ordered and they were all members of the clean plate club which is a sign they really enjoyed their meal. Yes, I was more observant of other tables than I normally would be as I was dining alone. read more

Very cute little restaurant near all the hotels. My husband is a picky eater and only went for the burger but I had the schnitzel which was delicious. The portions were more than enough. read more

wonderful and caring staff, locally owned and operated. Always a pleasure to visit them.

Went here last night after making a reservation online (easy) and upon walking in the guy immediately knew my name which was a little bizarre. Maybe my online reservation had a picture? Or maybe it was that I was alone? Either way they were very efficient and already had a space for me set up at the bar. Their menu has definitely increased in price, but so has everywhere. I always keep this in mind when looking at a menu. I had my eyes set on the gnocchi for quite some time and so I went ahead and ordered that. To keep with the butternut theme, I ordered a bowl of soup. Even though I ordered the soup afterward, it came out at the same time. I thought about getting a Mocktail for dry January, because they sounded delicious, but wasn't in the mood to drink something sweet. The soup pleasantly surprised me. I loved the gigantic, chunky mushrooms on top and the crispy onions were a delight. Nice size for a little side item or app. Incredible flavors and perfect for a cold rainy night. The gnocchi was amazing as expected. It tasted homemade and was served warm so the goat cheese melted slightly into the mix. The butternut squash chunks added great flavor, and the pomegranate seeds we're a surprising and delicious twist. Total rang me $24 for both and $29 with tip. I read my book and messaged friends and the server was attentive, but gave me space. He was receptive to my needs, and the atmosphere was overall pleasant. Would be great for an intimate friend night or a date. Lovely experience overall. read more

Our group of eight had dinner at Copper Crown one Saturday evening in mid-August. The meal was the highlight of our trip! While the restaurant is somewhat small, they accommodated our group comfortably inside the restaurant. There is also limited seating on their covered patio for smaller groups. I know how hard it is for restaurants to serve larger tables, but the food and service were fabulous. The menu has plenty of options for diners, and the options are not your usual fare. They have such a creative and interesting menu that changes frequently! I liked that they had both small and large plates, so the ladies could get smaller plates, and the men could get larger ones. Many of us are carb-conscious, and Copper Crown offers more than the usual number of low-carb plates. And everyone agreed the food was absolutely wonderful. I had the scallops and my husband had the fried chicken, and both were spectacularly flavorful. Our server was especially wonderful - he was there when we needed him, but unobtrusive when we didn't. He always had a smile on his face, and was friendly and helpful. Our drinks, salads, and entrees came out in perfect timing. We'll definitely return when back in the area! read more

Visited 3/27/24. Made a reservation while visiting Asheville. I will say that the wine was spot on-loved the rosé. My mom and I split three small plates-the shrimp, petite hanger, and the crawfish risotto. Sadly I can only recommend one of these-the shrimp dish was lovely and light with fragrant and well chosen ingredients (4/5). The crawfish in the risotto was solid, but the risotto itself was lacking in flavor and the whole radishes added to it didn't provide any additional flavor/felt slightly off-putting (2/5). The saddest thing for me was the petite hanger. We ordered it medium and it definitely came more towards the rare side with a pool of blood under it on our plate (neither the cook nor the waitstaff appeared to notice this and we felt bad sending it back). The middle of the steak was lukewarm and while the chimichurri was good, there wasn't enough of it on the top. The arugula that came on the side wasn't dressed with anything either. Overall I was really looking forward to this experience and found myself disappointed and wanting more flavor. read more

It's very rare that I give tapas style (or small plate) restaurants 5-stars because I usually left having spent too much money and still hungry. However, I was very impressed with Copper Crown! They have a menu of both small plate and a few large plates, but we ended up getting 5 or so small plates and splitting one large plate. Small plates: Crispy Brussels sprouts- Carmelized goodness in the maple syrup Seared shrimp- LOVED the complex flavors with the farro and sweetness from the fruits Crawfish risotto- so rich, savory, and decadent with lots of crawfish Slow roasted pork belly- my #2 dish. Pork belly was slightly crisp yet so moist over top of butter grits with a sweet pineapple relish and green emulsion. Larger plate: pumpkin seen crusted trout- I could not say enough amazing things about this dish. I wanted like 5 orders of it. The trout melted in your mouth along with the sherry tomato sauce that was super creamy and savory. Highly recommend coming here!! The waitstaff was very attentive and gave great recommendations for each dish. We unfortunately scared all the food down before taking pictures, which is a testament to how good the food was. read more

Very nice atmosphere and food took my sister for a good afternoon out service was great!

Copper Crown is a very cool space. We just stopped in for some drinks and a snack, and this place really hit the spot. The staff was friendly and attentive, the crab cakes were delicious. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu some night. Great spot for a date night but doesn't seem like a great place to bring the kids. read more

Excellent food ! Best crispy Brussels sprouts ever and the crawfish and shiitake risotto was amazing. Ben the bartender was awesome and I loved the creative cocktail menu. The ambiance was comfy but chic. Definitely make reservations. It's a small dining room. I was alone so they squeezed me in at the bar. read more

The atmosphere was great took some friends out and we were able to talk the day away. The wait staff was prompt and very nice but unfortunately the amount of food given for the price didn't work for me. If I'm going to pay that much for food I should be full at the end of it and not hungry still. The food was good but the amount was not. I would recommend but to only a select few. read more

A cozy, upscale spot with locally sourced dishes and patio seating. Friendly staff and excellent food makes Copper Crown a stand-out eating experience. Highly recommended! read more

Small spot in a small complex. Food was fresh, portions were balanced. Got the pork belly and arugula salad, would recommend. Dessert was just okay, compared to the great food. read more

This place was amazing! Coming in from out of town and we looked at a lot of different places before settling on this one. From the ambiance to the service, and then of course the food- fantastic! We tried several appetizers as well as the catfish. Buffalo green tomatoes is what lured us in and would bring us back! Other honorable mentions include the crispy brussels sprouts and the crab cakes. read more

Had a great dinner here! The children's meal was the same size as mine! Burger was awesome as were the seasoned fries. Our waitress was so great! We were sat on the side of the building, alone, and I was afraid they'd forget about us but she was spectacular. Very kind to my son! The margarita was good too. read more

Copper Crown - Blackened catfish. - New American Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Went here on recommendations from friends that it was one of their favorite restaurants in town. We had a different experience. Atmosphere inside was interesting, although we were on the heated patio, which was plenty warm. Service was a bit slow, but the server was friendly. It was over an hour from getting seated to getting our entrees. Food was mediocre: Crispy Brussel sprouts, lacked crispiness on all but the outermost part of the brussels. This is something that has been done so well by so many places that it stood out as subpar. Surprising, because it is one of their more popular dishes. Gnocchi was exquisite, some of the best I've ever had Flank steak was OK LO-FI burger was cooked well done, unimpressive in totality Trout was well received Ultimately, with so many good restaurants in town I can't imaging coming back here other than the fact that it has a very high Google review. read more

Tired of the same old chains? Copper Crown has a down home feel with a great menu (try the catfish) and a full page of wine/beer/cocktails. A fair selection of non-alcoholic drinks. Kind wait staff too! Very enjoyable dinner for us travelers from Ohio! read more

There were plenty of things to like - especially the feeling that you've escaped the touristy part of Asheville. * Bison flank steak was excellent, if a little under-seasoned * Romain salad was pretty B-flat * Crawfish risotto wasn't great Service was very nice, but everything came out too quickly. Dinner was done in under 45 minutes. read more

Good food. With unique twist. Good drinks! Are at the bar and they took our reservations and sat us promptly. Next visit sure to visit

I would actually give this a 4.5 star if i could since I rarely use that 5 star and like to keep it that way. However 4.5 Stars to me is a place that satisfies on all levels and deserves you to at least try it when in the Asheville area. Service. Food\Drink. Atmosphere. Value. Copper Crown hits the bullseye on all points. Located in a strip mall a little off the tourist path. Still mostly a locals place who love great food\drink at great value. ( my brother lives here year round and it's one of his Favs) Plenty of parking with outside dining when the weather permits. Service is very friendly and knowledgeable. Beer list is mostly craft, nice small wine list, and craft cocktails. Cozy, but decorated with a cool vibe atmosphere, especially the bar area. THE FOOD is made up of "smaller" (good for one) and "larger"(good for sharing) plates. There is also a Kids menu and a few desserts. Great variety of foods that shows the chef's creativity!!!! Here are a few items we tried that showed this. Look up the menu online and see how the prices make this a place you can go to frequently. ---RISOTTO Louisiana crawfish, pickled spicy peppers, shaved radish, scallions, red pepper emulsion ROASTED 10 MILE FARMS CAULIFLOWER burnt lemon aioli, chutney, white cheddar crumble PAN ROASTED SWORDFISH butternut squash risotto, local dandelion greens, green chili - apple butter, chimichurri ---SPRINGER MOUNTAIN FRIED CHICKEN BREAST black pepper waffle, ginger-molasses, green tomato - fennel relish, Worcestershire aioli ROASTED CULOTTE STEAK * (9oz) roasted local potatoes, pickled pears, blue cheese fondue, sweet tea gastrique. ---KEY LIME PIE in a jar, graham cracker, toasted meringue I will visit Copper Crown every time I'm in the area and ALL the time when we relocate there permanatley. read more

Wish I could give we them more than 5 stars! The waiter (think his name was Brick) recommended the pork schnitzel, and boy, was he right! I didn't remember to take a photo, but the flavor combo of the au gratin potato with the pork, the saurkraut, and the white sauce was incredible! Top that off with some very good non traditionally flavored collard greens, and my husband and I were in heaven Kudos to the chef, and thanks again for suggesting we try this! read more

Accidentally stumbled upon Copper Crown in our trip to Asheville. The restaurant is tucked away in a plaza (we actually drove right past it) it isn't much to look at from the outside but the decor inside is really nice. The restaurant must be new because everything appears to be very modern and updated. Their menu selection isn't huge by any means, but they had a really nice variety to choose from. We had the Brussels sprouts, lo-fi burger, and the crawfish risotto. All were very good. My risotto was some of the best I ever had, it was very rich and full of seafood. The burger was cooked perfectly, and for an additional $2.50 you can add French fries (the French fries were worth the extra charge) Did I mention they filled my wine glass to the very top? (+1 star) There is covered outside seating, I didn't scope around to see if it was dog friendly, but with Asheville being such a dog friendly town I would be surprised if it weren't (call ahead and ask first) Like all other restaurants in Asheville, this place closes at 10PM on weeknights. My only complaint is that when we were trying to enjoy our meal, the kitchen already started cleaning up. There wasn't music playing in the restaurant, but the kitchen staff was blasting their music. Waitresses were running in and out of the door. It was just kind of a buzz kill on my birthday dinner to listen and see those things when we were trying to enjoy a nice dinner. read more

Love this place! Sat at the bar tonight and talked to Tim. Great drinks and conversation. He makes a killer vodka dirty martini. My husband ordered the lofi burger with sweet potato fries. He loves the burger with grilled onions. I got the gnocchi small plate and we shared the scallops. I would get the gnocchi again. The scallops were delicious but a little pricey for 3 scallops ($16). Ordered the bread pudding for dessert- you have to get it. Apple crisp meets bread pudding. Crispy on top and soft goodness inside. A little whipped cream and caramel to top it off. Love this place. The menu changes with what is in season. Will be back. read more

We fully enjoy going to the Copper Crown. They offer delicious meals and fun cocktails that won't break the bank. We went on restaurant week & enjoyed the special 3 course meal and were very satisfied. We are locals but always enjoy taking our visitors here when we can get a reservation. read more

I stopped into Copper Crown on a Thursday, early evening, and the place was teeming. They had a nearly 2 hour wait and when I asked about doing a take out order the hostess had to check to make sure they were still doing them. This place is loved in Asheville! I took the host suggestion and went for the Hi Fi burger and brussels sprouts. I was being adventurous because I'm definitely more of a traditional burger person. The burger was good but I wouldnt order it again. Thats due to my taste preference more than anything. The combination of arugula and blue cheese was not pleasing to my palate but I could tell that the quality of ingredients is important at this place. I enjoyed the brussels sprouts the most. They were crispy on the outside and perfectly done on the inside. They're served with a cane sugar sauce that rounds them out perfectly. The atmosphere was lively, the staff was friendly and the quality of food here is of the utmost importance. Would love to try them again in the future. read more

Great service! Was lucky to get a table as a walk in. Seems most tables are reserved... even the bar. Drink was amazing! I forget the name (gin,tequila and sherry), crawfish risotto was amazing! A little hiccup with the Bison, was cold so needed to be redone. The server was amazing! Would definitely come back. read more

I am new to the Asheville food scene, coming from Boston but this place is bomb. Went on a Wednesday night and this place is popping. Waiter was super friendly and honest when I asked him how many dishes to order. Ordered 3 small plates for me and my girlfriend and ended up being a ton of food. Highly recommend the shrimp tempura - super tender and sitting in an absolutely delicious ponzu sauce. Portion sizes were generous and everything was super reasonably priced. Good mixed drink selection as well - had a moscow mule that washed the food down well. read more
