    French Dip Sandwich with really good fries
    Dennis W.

    So much to love about the Copper Penny at Lake Hickory. In this order... 1) The Brisket Sandwich and the French Dip Sandwich 2) Excellent service by folks who care 3) Fun space with lots of options of where to spend your time 4) Cornhole (should that have been #1?) Keep up the good work! See ya next time!

    Rasta pasta

    Wasn't sure what to expect but man we were really happy with our dinner! I had the Rasta pasta which has a Jamaican jerk flavored Alfredo sauce with chicken and penne pasta and I swear I could've asked for a cup of sauce to drink! (Jk- but really was super yummy). The garlic bread was also quite tasty! The service was equally amazing. We will definitely be back and hope to sit outside overlooking the lake!

    we love this place! I'm going to share why.... me and my boyfriend discovered this place a little over a year and a half ago. We've made it a point to attend at least once a month. as seen in the photos, we made some lifelong friendships here. We have also made it a point to meet up with these friends at the copper Penny, and enjoy drinks and good food!!! sometimes the service can be slow if they are working on one bartender or low staff, but honestly that is everywhere. The service has not deterred us from coming here. majority of the time it is really well and we have amazing servers!! I have never gotten a bad server there, everyone has been super friendly, and if they didn't know the answer, then they tried to obtain it. i've thoroughly enjoyed every food item I've gotten from here, I recently tried the boom boom shrimp tacos, which were a major hit. The salmon is an absolute five star, The quesadillas, and the burgers are to die for. if I had to pick one favorite though, it would definitely be the shrimp tacos!! we have attended on some music, bingo nights on Thursdays, Those are really fun. We also like to go on the weekends and enjoy the Lakeview, and whatever live music is playing. They have a good selection of on draft beers, I normally get a Moscow mule, whatever sider they have on tap, and usually their flight shots. I highly recommend this place, I absolutely love it and will continue to be going back!!!

    I know it seems unusual to give a casual seafood place in Granite Falls 5 stars, but recently I've…read morefound this place on my commute to my new job, and after 4 visits- this is the closest you'll get to the freshest fish, and the best service this far inland. It's amazingly fresh!! And the service is great. You can feel there's a standard here. I've eaten at another seafood joint in Hickory and the best thing about that plate was the slaw. Yikes. But outside of a coastal seafood meal, it's that good. Seriously, a great experience each time. 5 visits now- still good!!

    Server was really nice!…read more The beautiful murals on the walls have been painted over with a depressing grey-blue. They look kinda dusty and dirty. The seats are worn. The food was underseasoned and bland. Uninspired. Somehow, the stuffed crab was burnt and undercooked. The shrimp and scallops were overcooked, and unseasoned. The flounder was bland, and had a hard uneven texture. The oysters were out of a can I could get for a dollar. It looked like some of the cooks were not wearing hairnets, and would come out of the back and sit in a corner. I got sick from eating and was gagging for at least an hour after leaving. I called the restaurant to warn them to check for any contamination, and the employee who spoke [supposedly a manager] said their food was fine. I've been nauseous for an hour now. Would not recommend. This places glory days are long gone, and their customers are in danger of getting food illnesses.

    First time here, sat at the bar. great time, amazing food, great service! all around an amazing…read moredinner! our bartender was very informative, he recommended a pumpkin spice espresso martini, which was literally the best one I've ever had in my life!!!! the we split a bottle of mascato (so reasonably priced, $22). The vibe was a guy playing piano who sang so well! we enjoyed the dimmed lights and the lowkey vibe atmosphere with it being classy. overall great dinner!

    Disorganized and Disappointing…read more We had high hopes for Duke's, especially with its upscale vibe and menu, but the reality fell far short. From the moment we sat down, things started going sideways. First red flag? The water left on our table had bugs floating in it. Not a great start. The waitress, while friendly, seemed completely overwhelmed--she forgot our orders multiple times, asked the same questions repeatedly, and left us waiting far too long between check-ins. It took 40 minutes just to get our soups, and the entrees didn't arrive until over an hour after we ordered. The entire experience felt chaotic. At one point, another server brought two dishes and a drink to our table that weren't even ours. Total confusion. Now let's talk about pricing--specifically, a $12 charge to split a 24 oz ribeye. How does that make sense when one person might not even be able to finish it? It felt like a greedy upcharge for no real reason. Menu clarity was another issue. The sides weren't listed clearly, and no one explained that the "loaded potato" option was actually a soup--not an actual potato. The clam chowder? It's a tomato-based red soup, which is definitely not what most people would expect when ordering chowder. A simple explanation from the staff would've gone a long way. The duck was actually fantastic, the crab cakes not so much. Dessert was also oddly handled. They offer a brownie, but ask, "Is that okay?" as if there are other options (there aren't). Then they bring one brownie split four ways--literally bite-sized portions on a single plate for a group of four. It felt more like a sampler than a real dessert. When it came time to pay, we were asked if we were ready for the check, but then they came back later and had to double-check everyone's order just to get the bill right. And instead of bringing the check, you're told to scan a QR code to pay--likely a move to avoid credit card processing fees, though it puts the burden on the customer to complete the transaction. Overall, Duke's tries to present itself as upscale, but the execution just isn't there. Sloppy service, confusing policies, and unnecessary upcharges make it hard to justify a return visit. Definitely not the dining experience we were hoping for.

Got to the window and asked her if hush puppies came with it , she looks at me and shakes her head yes.You have a mouth so open it and answer me don't nod your head. After sitting there for about eight or nine minutes, she finally gives me my food , still being rude. I pull off to side to check the bag and of course there was no okra like I asked . I go in and she comes to the counter, I tell her the okra was left out and she says I asked for extra hush puppies and not okra . Why the heck would I ask for extra of something I don't eat ???? She just stands there with a stupid look on her face . I'm really ticked off now and I'm done talking to this special girl Zakira . Lucky for her a guy came to help me , not sure if he was a manager or assistant but he fixed the order , offered me a drink and apologized , which she never did .
