New changes are... weird. We've come here so many times over the years and almost always had a great experience. Sometimes the place is busy and the service is slow because of it, but the food is always good, and I get that it's a learning environment for students, so: be patient, folks. But now the management has changed the whole experience. They've cut back the serving staff to only TWO people, closed the downstairs room altogether, and taken out tables so that there are only 2 booths and 2 four-tops, plus the bar. Their FB page now says "reservations only" but they don't even have an online system so you can see what dates are free. You have to call to talk to one of those belabored *two* people who are covering the entire room. I'm guessing they're also the ones answering the phones for take-out, too. How is this "enhancing [my] dining experience" exactly? To be fair, the food is still good and the two ladies working the night we were there are great and gave us great service. But the room feels spookily empty with so few tables. Plus the idea of being guilted into calling for mandatory reservations? Who does that?! Disappointing management decision that does a disservice to all the hardworking people who work here, and to their loyal customers too. Not sure when we'll be back again, now. read more

The bar tender was helpful and very cheerful! suggested the Cooper Cuban best Cuban I have had . My husband had the 24 k also a very good sandwich. if your in the area I would highly recommend going . out of town guest from Canada read more

As I left the parking lot of Copper Turret a few weeks ago with a very happy & full belly I had one thought in my head: What exactly is root beer jam and how can I incorporate it into all future sandwiches? You see, 'rootbeer jam' was featured on my Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese and it was SOOO GOOD. Pile of pork + melty cheese + this magical root beer jam on freshly baked brioche bread. ohmygoodness. With this jam smothered on this sandwich you don't even miss the bbq sauce usually associated with pulled pork. It had just the right amount of sweetness without being too much and messy. For $9.50 you get a very hefty sandwich and home made corn chips. However - if you've got an extra $2.50 you should spring for the sweet potato fries. They are served with this brown sugar bacon & something-else dipping sauce and it is AMAZING. All sweet potato fries everywhere should be served with this dip. Other things to note: + The soft pretzel appetizer is also super yum. + There's a bunch of beer options to try... * + The staff is the friendliest. + The concept and relationship the restaurant has with Morrisville College is kinda awesome. Love supporting local kids being creative in the kitchen and learning the ropes of hospitality. + The place is totally unassuming... and yes, its next door to a gas station. But it's worthy of you stopping by for a drink and some eats. *reserving my 5th star until I am able to try said beers! read more

This is a learning experience for students at SUNY Morrisville Service and food was top notch! It states that you don't have to tip because they are students. I say tip them more than you normally would to support them. I'll be back... read more

The local is sparkling clean and the service is impeccable. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw and pickle on the side. The meal came with house made corn chips. While I found the presentation odd; the sandwich and fixings were served on a tin square tray; I did find the sandwich to be excellent. I would have given the order five stars however, I found the portion a bit on the stingy side. To rectify the situation I ordered a burger with more home made corn chips. The chips are fantastic. The burger is made from locally grown beef. Once again the food arrived on a square, small cookie sheet. The burger was cooked to perfection with a slight grill flame taste for additional goodness. Portion size once again was small. I must add that my wife ordered the Caesar salad with grilled chicken, I had a taste, of course. The salad was abundant and excellent. The Caesar dressing was creamy and very tasteful. The chef certainly did not skimp on the cheese. There was certainly room for desert. The coffee arrived first. Very tasty. If you enjoy coffee you will ask for a refill. For desert, we ordered a brownie with chocolate ice cream. The brownie was very good but the ice cream, well, it is out of this world! Take note, the restaurant is run with help from interns from SUNY Morristown who are studying Hotel Management. The ice cream - rich and creamy - is made on campus. If you are hungry be prepared to order two entrees. However, if you order just one entree then, by all means, order a dessert. What space is left over will be filled by the abundant portion of the desert. I recommend the eatery for three reasons: The service, the food and helping the students. An additional reason to eat here is that all foods are locally purchased. read more

The Copper Turret is hands down the best of the best. I used to eat here regularly when I was a student at SUNY Morrisville. A few friends and I stopped here over the weekend for a late dinner, I honestly forgot how GREAT the food is, I had to update my review!!! First things first: it's awesome how they use all local ingredients, and the beef they use for the burgers are from cows that are locally grown on the Morrisville campus. The waitstaff is AMAZING. They're all soo friendly and prompt to get you whatever you need, they really aim to please. The ingredients they use on every dish is like a work of art. When I used to come on the regular I remember getting The Knuckle Sandwich with sweet potato fries or a particular special they had going on that day. This time around I ordered the Pig Mac Grilled Cheese sandwich which is mac and cheese, barbecued pork shoulder, bourbon onions and spicy peach jam on grilled brioche... Can you say AMAZING?! It was literally mouth watering. My friend got the BBQ Chicken & Waffle Sandwich, prolly big enough for 2 large men!! MASSIVE!! It's shredded bbq chicken and grilled coleslaw between two savory waffles topped with maple butter... I couldn't even fathom the amount of stuff that was in that sandwich. It looked amazing though and he seemed to enjoy it haha. This place is a MUST try!!! To all my fellow yelpers and people in the area, try the Copper Turret, you will not be disappointed one bit!! read more

Unless you attend school at SUNY Morrisville, you've probably only been in this small town while rolling through on Route 20. That said, when hungry and in Morrisville, the Copper Turret is an excellent choice. I've eaten here on numerous occasions and have yet to be disappointed. This college-run restaurant is well laid out - introducing you to their tavern area upon entrance. The tavern is replete with what you would expect: fireplace, long polished bar, booths, and high tops for two. Frequently they have live music on weekend nights. The tavern gives way to a more formal dining area which is nicer for larger groups or those looking for a bit more quiet. The service at the Copper Turret is excellent. Each server I've had has been knowledgable about the food and making good suggestions. The restaurant sources a lot of their raw ingredients from local producers, including the college agriculture program. This is realized once you've tried the food. Food ranges from basic tavern fare (burgers, paninis, etc) to more elaborate entrees. The menu prices follow suit. This full range is what gives the Turret its appeal - the menu and setting allow it to draw in both the casual student crowd while still pleasing diners looking for a more upscale experience. If you're in CNY and don't' mind a bit of a drive - the Copper Turret is a great place to try! read more

Fantastic service and amazing food at a good price. A must try. I will definitely come back!

Food isn't great and very expensive if you don't go to school here, very short staffed and took 2 hours to get our food quite a few times.

Decided not to go to the only nicer BBQ place on the way back, googled the hell out on the way. Found this place just 10 minutes off route. We gave it a try and didn't regret! Nice restaurant (and brewery), great service, awesome food, and reasonable price. Right next to the college. Neat, tidy, and mostly wood furnishings. Ordered the fish taco as appetizer and the Turret burger. The taco came loaded with a strip of perfectly cooked fish. Topped with its aioli, coleslaw, and cheddar. Surprisingly balanced flavor and each bite had flavor no matter with fish or not. Adding a bit red hot makes it even tastier. For a carnival flower, finishing all food including vegetables probably one of the best proof of the flavor. Also the taco was in very quickly. Waited a bit for the burger - honestly I'm not a fan of fried food that is why I ordered the same food as the flower. I would say, for a regular burger, it was a great job: cooked right to medium as requested, and they seasoned the patty so you don't have to rely on the sauce or ketchup to finish it. My side was the grilled #coleslaw, which was grilled first to bring out the flavor. As you can tell from the photo, there was not over seasoning with Mayo, very refreshing - warning for red cabbage haters: it is still red cabbage that is tougher than its regular green family member. Sweet potato fries are cooked excellently with crispy texture. Oh, the waitress was super nice, bonus with her Barbie voice. Will go back for sure. #morrisvilleny #fishtaco #burger. What's more special is that this restaurant is where the Morrisville college student to get real life experience in the culinary and hospitality area. read more

This place never disappoints. Just as delicious as the last, every time! Service is always spectacular, and the food is incredibly fresh. Most of the menu items come from local places around the area. Tonight I had the Turret Cobb salad & my bf had the three little pigs sandwich & the tollhouse cookie with ice cream for dessert (menu posted) If you're looking for quality food , this is the place to go. read more

Friendly staff, excellent quality food, right in the heart of Morrisville town. Had the best Cobb Salad ever. The food is farm to table quality, made with love. The brew tour was cool too. Thumbs up to this place! read more

Amazing experience; more than 2 years ago I was there and I didn't like this place. But this time, woooooow, I was amazed. they've remodeled the whole restaurant and they've added a good beer selection and very nice dining area. The menu has very interesting foods for different tastes and most of the ingredients come from local farms and Morrisville college farming program thingy which I don't know that much about, but I always appreciate and love to support local businesses and use of all fresh ingredient in my food. The staff are very nice and helpful and the food is fresh and delicious. they had some sort of separate area for business meetings. it was away from dining area and bar, so less noisy and well lit. read more

Stopped by here on a whim. Never heard of it, but turned out to be a great stop. The food was great and atmosphere casual. I had chicken and waffles and stole some of the kids' pretzels with homemade beer cheese - good stuff! The custom draft beer list was unique with a focus on german style. I had the gose style which was refreshing and yummy! We'll definitely hit this place up again on our next road trip through the a read more

Heather was probably the nicest waitress I've ever had. Her personality mixed with their in-house sauces make for a knockout combination. I travel for work and get to experience a lot of interesting places and I will say, I can't wait to come to Morrisville again ONLY to eat at Copper Turret and see Heather! Also, to Heather's boss, please give her a raise and/or a bonus because she 1000% deserves it! read more

Was in the area for a hockey tournament and decided to come here. Service was wonderful and the people were very nice! Good music playing, very clean, and homey feeling. Would definitely stop by if I come up to this area again! read more

Beware of the French Onion soup. Completely overpowered with thyme. Calamari isn't what I recall either. Not crispy enough and the chili sauce has an unpleasant after taste. Very few clients, and yet service is slow and inattentive. I'd like to be more supportive, but this just isn't a good lunch. My glass of Pinot Noir is pretty good. read more

This is my first time in Morrisville. We were driving thru town and this place had good reviews. We had burgers which were fabulous and creative! They were both cooked to near perfection (mine was a smudge too rare but still super tasty!) my fries were soft and soggy which is my only real complaint. Staff comped that part of the bill tho without a hitch. Great place with great service and a lot of enthusiasm!! read more

Oh how I still talk you barrel aged old Manhattan like I had you yesterday. People probably think I have part ownership in this place based off how much I talk about that drink, though besides how good it is, the price ($8) is just worlds away from ridiculous cocktail prices in the DC area. Anyways, Ill seek out this establishment in the future for its cocktails but also its beer. The beer creds are already becoming well establishment through the nearby school that has an up and coming brewing program which is already receiving awards in the state and beyond. And I can see why. The flight I ordered had a little bit of everything, and nothing was below average, actually several were above. Its also a nice, though not uncommon in these parts, touch to have other breweries/cideries represented on tap. We only got to dessert as we already had dinner beforehand but the slice of cheesecake was rich and accompanied with berries to make us feel like we were having something healthy. We will be back so long as that manhattan is on the menu. read more

This place is one of those restaurants you find when you're starving, because you're in the middle of a quiet town, with nothing much to do. But to your surprise they end up stunning you in a way that only seems to be possible with electro shock therapy. They're sauces and dressings are made in house, the chicken tenders are like an explosion of flavors, and will leave you feeling like you just saw a unicorn. The staff is friendly enough to make you think you've entered the afterlife, and the atmosphere is extremely simple and nice for a small tavern. I would definitely come back so I can experience another punch in the mouth.. of flavor, and quality... I do only have one request to make my experience better than before... Please install beds in the back room so I can go to sleep, wake up, and eat here again! read more

Copper Turret is my husband's and my favorite restaurant in all of CNY. The food is original, the presentation creative, and the service is excellent! Pleased that they use so many local ingredients. Some of our faves: pot roast, the fried fish, lobster tacos, various of their mac and cheese specialties. any quiche, and any daily featured specials. No tipping required. Built into the bill! Wonderful, wonderful place! read more

Unique in the area. It is the training resto for the culinary school at SUNY Morrisville, and as such the guys in the kitchen are willing to try new stuff. The quality of the food and service are on par with any other resto in the region, but these guys are unafraid to try new stuff and when they hit, it is really excellent innovative food. CNY food can be a bit sedate at times, but if you want something fun and innovative, go here. Wine pairings are all local as well. Why isn't this place packed every night? Go. read more

Dinner for four - three of us had burgers of various configurations and my son, noticing they had penne pasta, asked for a bowl of plain penne with butter. No problem. Burgers were decent if a little on the small side. Service was attentive but had to ask for "pasta son's" fries twice before they arrived and after entrees were eaten. Received the bill and was charged $18 for "penne & chicken" full entree and $4.00 for the late fries. We were never offered the chicken from this full-price entree. We politely inquired about an adjustment for the plain penne and butter. Waiter got the manager who apologized and said there was nothing he could do. We quietly paid the bill never to return again. Inflexibility is bad for business. read more

Very clean. My husband LOVED the badabing burger. Great selection of beer. Good food with an upscale presentation but yet you could still feel comfortable going in shorts. Prices fair but serving size a little small, that being said we will definitely go back. read more

The pub menu is the best, not a fan of the fancy stuff myself. The 88 hour sandwich is amazing. Slow cooked pork for 88 hours with apple slaw? YES! It's amazing. The Penne Pasta with chicken is a tad spicy but that's a good thing, it's amazing! I have been here a few times while going to Cazenovia College and was never disappointed. Would definitely go back if I was in the area! read more

Finally was able to try this place. Their menu has been making my mouth water. We went late on a Saturday. The waiter was personable and friendly. I really wanted the Brie dish but they were out!! It came with something like apples, maple glazed walnuts, local honeycomb, etc. It sounded sooo good, and I guess it is because they had just sold the last one when I arrived!! I'll have to try it next time because I'll definitely be back. I settled for the crispy chicken tacos and they were amazing. It came with a chipotle ranch sauce and avocado slaw. Fresh with a twist. Three tacos all together and they giant. The bartender also made a pretty good Moscow mule. Ironic though, they're called the copper turret but don't carry copper bar ware for the mules. Anyway, this is a great spot in Morrisville, and you'll love the food. Nice menu selection and they use all local products. Check it out! read more

Always a good choice. Food is fresh and usually offers something unusual. Desserts are an absolute must!

Pleasantly surprised! Loved the fried cheese curds and prime rib sandwich! Fresh brewed iced tea was of the best I've ever had! Great service as well! read more

I like the tavern here, nice atmosphere, friendly wait staff. The food is good. The bar is well stocked. And, an excellent brew selection.

Just took out of town guests here and had a bad meal, 4 bad meals actually. From the tempura squash blossoms (no flavor whatsoever), to the Chicken Penne (I thought they forgot to put the chicken in it but then I found teeny pieces in the sauce) to the swordfish steak special ( a thin, dried out piece of fish), too the sopping wet Caeser salad. There was not one good thing to say about the food. Even the one cocktail we ordered was poorly made. I should mention that our waiter was friendly and attentive. That's why I'm able to give it one star. read more

Terrible abysmal service. Waitress paid no attention to the fact the cold and wrong potatoes were served. Offered to put spices on top of potatoes. Brought replacement potatoes out and stool cool. Just know no real manager on site . Just a young kid who could give a darn. If there are other restarants and you want service with a good meal this is NOT the place. read more

One of the better restaurants in and around Hamilton, NY. The seafood is great -- it is one of the FEW restaurants in Central New York that uses Doyle's. The chef, Doug Walters, is really good and inventive. Not a bad place to eat and the bar is well-stocked -- for example, you can get Pilsner Urquell there -- something impossible to find in all of Madison County except at the CT. read more
