We always love the copper pot. We start eat visit with buffalo chips and ranch. I typically get a burger, breakfast, or this most recent visit I tried the pot roast special and it was great! You really can't get anything bad at Copper Pot. I also love that they carry Diet Mtn. Dew. It's my favorite drink when eating out and no one carries it. The servers are always super helpful and friendly. It stays packed every time we are there. Give them a try! read more

Very solid meal and dining experience. I would give a 4.5 if possible. Stopped on our travels north for lunch on Father's Day, around 1:00 pm. The place was hopping. Not many dining choices in this area. Ample parking and a large dining area with tables efficiently serviced so that they turn over quickly. Our wait for a table was only 10-minutes, following a group of 18! The service was the star of the experience. Very efficient, helpful, attentive servers. Shout out to Suzanna. The large staff worked well together and seemed to make everyone feel comfortable. The ambience is southern, hometown casual. You feel like you are visiting your large family from start to finish. Nothing pretentious. Clean enough. Comfortable. Pricing....in this time of food inflation, this restaurant still offers amazing prices. My husband and I had two large dinner entrees with water and our bill came to just under $24.00. Our portions were generous as evidence in the photo. Our waitress recommended the grilled pork chops which were hot, juicy and seasoned just right. They came with two veggie sides from a long list of choices. I chose collard greens and Mac and cheese. These items were just average and only luke warm as was the biscuit (from a choice of about 5 bread options). Had the sides been hot and a little more flavorful, I would have given 5 stars. For vegetarians and all-day breakfast eaters, Cooper Pot is your place; so much to choose from on their menu. Vegans might struggle as most southern cooking includes dairy and it looks as if they cook their sides in large quantities and keep them in a warmer to serve. The ability to respond quickly to large numbers of travelers and locals, with solid, well-priced, filling meals is the gift of the Copper Pot. We will return when traveling their way. read more

The Copper Pot - 2 grilled pork chop dinner, 2 veggie side plus choice of bread, $12.99 - Southern Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

Coming back from a strawberry farm nearby, I thought I would stop and have an early dinner. Was hungry for some home style country cooking and country cooking is what they have! The staff was very friendly and helpful with answering some questions about the menu. They know the menu well and was knowledgeable of the preparation. I ordered the country fried chicken with gravy that is served over mashed potatoes with a hot roll and a side fried okra. It was a plate special for just under $10. Food came out hot and the chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Juicy and tender. I don't think the gravy was made from scratch but it was good white, peppered gravy. The mashed potatoes were real potatoes, not boxed. The okra may have been the frozen kind but it was fried and seasoned perfectly. I also ordered some ranch dressing on the side to dip the okra and chicken in and it was made from scratch ranch dressing and some of the best ranch I've ever had. The roll was like a breadstick and it was freshly baked, served hot and may have been made from scratch. It was a really good hot roll. Overall appearance was that it looked like it has been around for a while but had a cute, country diner vibe going on. I would eat there again if I'm passing through and would recommend to anyone wanting country style food with good service. The price was very reasonable with big, generous portions. read more

Food was amazing, service tremendous. Just couldn't say enough about this place. Best biscuit I've ever eaten. The price was just the icing on the cake! Which speaking of cake.

Ate a terrific burger here for lunch recently. Would dine here again and probably try some of the plate lunches. Had a good stock of 3B's fried pies at the register so I indulged in a couple of those too. Good solid Southern cooking diner. read more

Very busy and the staff were quick and courteous! Our tea glasses were never Empty and the fried okra was delicious read more

What didn't Ho well is more like it. Pot Roast!! With sweet potato casserole and real corn fritters. Phil had flounder and okra and a sweet potato. Neither of us could finish out food so boxes to go. The pot roast was perfect, they allowed the meat, carrots and potato's blend without overwhelming spices, the sweet potato casserole had pecans and real butter and brown sugar topping. Phil said the flounder was exceptional as was the okra. Seasons mildly to low natural flairs to shine. Pricing was reasonable. read more

Passing through and waiting for our car to charge. Good food, served fast, and relatively cheap. Would visit again.

Gracie was a perfect waitress and served us absolutely fantastic catfish meals. The coating was light and fish plentiful and flaky. We finished with one of the best slices carrot cake I've had and I'm very picky about carrot cake! This is our second time here and will not be our last! (Actually going to have breakfast in am before we head north). Prices are low but food top notch! read more

The Copper Pot provided our first southern meal on a recent trip and it was delicious and a great value. I ordered grilled catfish with sides of collard greens, sweet potato casserole, and a corn muffin. The greens were flavorful and had a perfect texture. The fish was melt-in-your-mouth tender, but a bit undercooked in the center so the server quickly brought me a replacement. The corn muffin was a little dry and small, but tasted great with some butter. Everything was served piping hot. My partner had ham steaks and we also had a slice of carrot cake which did not disappoint. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the leather booths are very comfortable. Definitely recommend for a casual, inexpensive dinner out. read more

Stopped here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! Authentic Southern food with generous portions and very great value. Our server was super friendly, and the menu is huge with tons of options. We got the deep south place with fried chicken and copper burger. They were very flavorful, and the corn fritter is a must-try! If you're looking for an all american diner style burger, here is the place to go!! Service was a little slow today but still would recommend the place for the food!! read more

Absolutely loved this place! Great food, friendly staff, and the atmosphere felt like home. My son ordered the pancake breakfast and asked us to bring him here for his birthday even though it's two hours away from us! So happy we found this spot on our travels. Highly recommend. read more

Traveling up to New Jersey from Georgia from my regular drive I found this place - a few blocks off of interstate 77. Sad there was no chicken and dumplings - which is what caught my eye... but they had green peas and dumplings, which was sublime! Fried Okra, macaroni and cheese and this on freaking believable fried bread, which I thought was just regular rolls - was a sick surprise! read more

Excellent American southern cuisine. Every time I drive through this area, make a point to stop here.

The Copper Pot is a family favorite for breakfast and home cooking. My parents eat here on a weekly/bi-weekly basis for breakfast or dinner. It's a must go-to when we come to town. It's nothing fancy, but it reminds you of grandmas cooking. The staff is always super friendly and efficient, and the owner is super nice. The ambiance is simple for a country restaurant and they have some games for the kiddos. read more

Great country cooking and very friendly staff. Best salt and pepper catfish I have ever had and the portions are great.

The chicken was burnt and smelled horrible like it was rotten and they were trying to cover it up

Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Our food came out fast and our orders were correct. The pancakes were as big as the plate and the bacon was cooked perfectly. I would go back if I was in the area. read more

What a gem! Yelp helped us find this lil spot during our 8 hour drive home to NC. We wanted a casual sit down restaurant (not a chain) with a good rating and immediately off the highway. This place checked off all the blocks and got bonus points for friendly service, super clean environment and delicious homemade cakes and fritters! *I even bought locally sourced Goat handLotion! We WILL be back read more

Was excited to order from this place but I must say , I've never Had a breakfast sandwich on hamburger bun. We ordered coffee and had to dump it. I would pay more for some toast . Price is cheap. Eggs seemed fresh . read more

Meh. Typical small diner in an even smaller strip mall. The food was good, but nothing worth driving out of your way, for. I've been here once, and that was enough. read more

Service was great. The food was delicious. One of those places you just need to stop. Thankyou to all of the staff.

The Copper Pot can on my radar while searching on Yelp for a lunch place while driving home. I'm glad that we stopped. My catfish and shrimp dinner was a delicious meal of beige food - and I mean that in a good way! Lightly breaded catfish was very tasty and cooked fresh for me. The fried shrimp was wonderful. Hush puppies are fabulous, we don't have baby places with good ones in Detroit. And who knew that I like corn fritters? I never knew! Delicious sweet corn fried in a light batter. I have to eat in the south more often! Our server Aaron was friendly and helpful with the menu! read more

We stopped in for lunch. The dining area was pretty crowded so it took a while to get waited on. Our waitress was very sweet and helpful. The reason for what is generally a lower rating for my reviews is that when we unrolled the fork from the napkin, it hadn't been washed. Yuck. Since we were there at noon I expected the baked potatoes to be much fresher. Everything else was good. My country fried steak was very good and the deviled eggs were good as well. My husband enjoyed his chopped sirloin. I tasted it and didn't think it had a lot of flavor but then again that's what steak sauce is for. Not sure if we will go back but if we do I will avoid the baked potatoes. read more

Not good food. Very basic and disappointing. Service was good, but would not recommend this place as a hood Southern kitchen.

Biscuits are not homemade, along with the gravy. Eggs were cooked as ordered. Meatloaf was very dry. Not much taste. Sweet potato casserole was good, along with the slaw. read more

Simple country food. Lots of deep fried choices & breakfast food. We are vegetarian so went with the grilled cheese. Very inexpensive. Really excellent service from our sweet server. It was pretty unclean though, with tables around covered with crumbs & such. More attention to detail would go a long way. Hometown southern cooking if that's what you're seeking! read more

Best food I ever ate great service and the remodeling is clean looking love Caroyn she is awesome

What a great breakfast! Kayleigh, our server, was a diligent and friendly young Southern lady. When I expressed my surprised delight at actually enjoying a cup of coffee at a diner and said, "This is good coffee," she cheerfully replied, "Ain't it, though?" The eggs were perfectly over medium, the bacon was meaty, and the home fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. In this day and age, it's rare to have a perfect restaurant meal. Oh, and our bill was less than $20 for two people! read more
