    Excellent fish and chips, made with haddock, and served with malt vinegar
    Cynthia P.

    We came to visit my son at college. Had lunch at CopperTop Tavern. Service was professional and friendly! I think our server was Christie. We enjoyed our food selections! Fish and chips made with haddock was delicious and malt vinegar was a great touch. Bang bang checkin with egg noodles hit the spot! French onion soup was quite good and hard to come by a good one. Hot honey chicken sandwich also excellent! Great ambiance and music.

    Avocado egg rolls - we started eating before I took the pic, sorry - there were 6 pieces, & plenty of sauce.  Delicious!

    Driving through NY, we stopped based on solid Yelp reviews. Honestly the food quality is a 3 but the service was fantastic, especially our server Jake, so 4 stars. The tavern is located in a plaza with its cousin Tullys (same owner). Plenty of parking and the building is mobility accessible - no lumpy thresholds or steps - but heavy doors to pull open. Gender-specific bathrooms are located off the reception/hostess area and they were clean. We were greeted and seated politely and immediately, told the name of our server, and provided menus with the dinner specials. Jake introduced himself mere moments later and took our drink order. When drinks arrived we ordered the avocado egg rolls. They were hot, creamy with small chunks of avocado, and delicious! Jake got our dinner order and checked back to make sure we liked the appetizer. Timing of our dinners coming out was perfect - not too long and not too quickly after the appetizers. On Jake's recommendation, hubby had the fish & chips with malt vinegar (rather than the steak dinner). The chips were great - hot & crispy - but according to hubby, the breading on the fish tasted like gorton's frozen fish fillets. My salad looked very bland - just lettuce and steak, no sign of tomatoes, cucumbers - see picture. I asked Jake if the dressing was already on it and he said yes. He had warned me the steak is very thin and could not be "rare" as I had requested, and it was definitely not rare but was still tender and flavorful. As I ate the salad I noticed a lot of cream or white sauce in the lettuce underneath the top layer. Jake checked on us and I asked about the sauce. Jake said they put a layer of blue cheese dressing on the plate before adding the salad. He apologized and said he should have told me. I told him it was okay, as it was at first, but the more I ate, the more blue cheese dressing I found. It was gross! The lettuce, few cucumbers & tomatoes were covered in blue cheese dressing (see picture). I looked up the menu and the description of the salad only mentioned balsamic vinaigrette and "bleu cheese crumbles" on top of the salad. When Jake checked back to see if we wanted dessert I showed him my plate, I left a lot of the veggies due to the copious amounts of blue cheese dressing and recommended to him that they could to add it to the menu or warn people! He apologized again and brought a survey card for me to fill out about our experience. I would have ordered something different or asked them to hold the BC dressing - I really could not taste the balsamic. Very nice people working here but we would not go out of our way to stop back.

    The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was good. My favorites were the crispy potato pancakes and mashed potatoes were so delicious however the chicken itself (special entree) topped with mushrooms and mozzarella wasn't as flavorful as I expected, but overall, it was a good dining experience.

    Located in the town of Vestal, inside the University Plaza, along side the Susquehanna River, is this large tavern. Rustic, roomy seating, full bar, quick, friendly service. The hibachi salmon is delicious with the sweet, honey-teriyaki glaze, served with seasoned rice & broccoli with a lemon sauce. The Raspberry Rocker cocktail is tasty but a little weak in alcohol or try the zesty cinnamon-schnapps Apple Fritter Martini.

    I was visiting my niece last time. We had a dinner there. It was pretty good and the price was very low.

    Terrible! Got a square of partially cooked pepperoni and all the ingredients fell off as it just…read moresagged limp when trying to pick it up. It was gross.

    I am so disappointed with the breakfast pizza today and the manager @ vestal was SO rude to me and…read moremust have said 10 times he doesn't know what to tell me. We WERE frequent customers but after today there are better options! I ordered a bacon egg and cheese sheet pizza for staff and it had a sour, tangy weird taste, almost like sharp cheese. SEVEN employees all said this taste is weird. I called and spoke to management and asked if maybe they changed the recipe, he was so rude to me and I even took half sheet back to show and talk to him (I always have a sheet put into two boxes). I wanted him to taste it and he of course wouldn't and said he tried a piece they had there and it was fine and doesn't know what to tell me. Said they just received a new shipment of cheese and didn't have any old spoiled cheese and said they don't even use cheddar cheese. I said I don't know what it is but it is clearly not right!! My staff usually devours it and they each barely ate one slice and I wasted $42.14 The manager only wanted to argue with me that there was nothing wrong with it. Clearly he knows all and all seven of us are just idiots. He said no one else complained and it was just me so clearly I'm wrong. Don't waste your time and money here because clearly the manager has no customer service skills and doesn't care when food taste sour and something is not right with it!! P.S. NO I have never complained so that's not the reason he wanted to argue with me. Here is a tip for the manager How about a I'm so sorry this didn't meet your expectations let me make this right not argue with regular customers and me feel like I am the problem!!!! You can bet I have told everyone I talked to today how poorly I was treated over a freaking breakfast pizza.
