    Stopped here for lunch on our way back from Syracuse NY. A small chain of 4 locations, this one is in Vestal NY. Very nice place. Service (from Jeff) was excellent. The food was also excellent. The place offers a lot of seating. I had the Italian Steak Melt. Fantastic. They also had Guinness on draft. My wife had Harvest Salad with grilled Chicken. She said it was very good. My daughter had the Fish & Chips. We all shared an Apple Crisp for dessert. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely return. Go try it out. You won't be disappointed.

    After having an unpleasant experience at Tully's, we decided to try this restaurant on our second night in the area. We are glad we did. Our server, Micaela, made up for the horrible service we had at Tully's. She was the best server that we had in a long time. She was very personable and attentive. We ordered the buffalo wings, stone fired wings, pepperoni pizza, grilled blackened salmon, and chicken Milanese. Everything was delicious. The chicken Milanese came with 2 huge chicken breasts under a delicious salad. I was able to take home one of the chicken breasts and made chicken parm the next night.

    Excellent fish and chips, made with haddock, and served with malt vinegar

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Easy 4. Nothing made me go the extra mile but we did visit here for lunch twice. I nabbed the steak and peppers and it was very tasty and the bread was pretty darn good. The next day I nabbed the Sicilian pizza and it was pretty darn good! Could always use some more TVs but the staff was great and the food was quick.

    My boyfriend has been telling me about this place for a while now and about how they have the best…read morechicken wings he's ever had. And here's the thing... I'm not a huge fan of chicken wings, but guys... Guys... GUUUUUUYS. The chicken wings here are legit DELICIOUS. The vibe of the restaurant is just chill and relaxed. It's clean, the service is great (the server took care of drink refills without us asking, checked back with us regularly & in a timely manner, and brought the items from our order out as they were ready), and the price point is great for what you get as well. We ordered 4 different kinds of wings - Cajun, Black Cherry Pepper BBQ, Carolina Gold (the star of the show), and Hot Honey Garlic. I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to heat, so I didn't try the Cajun... but I loved the bit of fruit flavor from the black cherry wings, and really enjoyed the bit of spice from the hot honey. Those Carolina Gold wings though... I would come back again and again for those alone. Consider me a chicken wing convert, I guess! ALSO... I almost forgot that we have the buffalo chicken eggrolls as an appetizer. Perfectly crunchy outer eggroll with delicious buffalo chicken inside. I'm not a bleu cheese gal (blasphemy with buffalo chicken, but I don't care), and the server brought a little side of ranch out for us to dip our eggrolls in. *chef's kiss* TL;DR GO. FOR. THE WINGS. Seriously... you're missing out if you don't. Get a bunch of flavors, share with friends (or eat them yourself - I won't judge), and wallow in the sauce-y goodness.

    Cannot wait to go back! We needed snacks and a drink and we needed a good drive on a Sunday! So…read moreglad we stopped here, will absolutely be a new place to get our favorites! The vibe of this place is exactly what's needed in America. I wish there were more places like the Union Hotel. It looks so fun and funky, everything is clean and I'm being serious, it's clean! Fried cheese curds and fried pickles...if that's all we ordered we were already hooked! Then our wings came!!! Pry the sauces out of my hands, I had it on my face, up my arms, the wings were exactly what you beg for anywhere else!! The sweetest and most beautiful bartender was an absolute angel getting our drinks and food! Extremely conscientious and attentive during busy moments! We cannot wait to go back...it was a fantastic reminder of what we used to have local to us! 10/10 all the way around!
