We stopped for lunch at the Copper Pot and were pleasantly impressed by the hospitality of not only the staff, but the patrons as well. Our food was all house made and with a Southern flair. The BBQ plate was nice and Smokey sweet and juicy yum. My fried pork chops were super flavorful and well seasoned. read more

Just ate here. Worst lunch I ever had. Hands down. Service was ok...but heres how bad it is: First of all, the entire ceiling is falling apart and the condensation on the AC vents leaks on your food. Not part of the food review, just saying. The food. Dinner rolls; dry. Cornbread; zero flavor, dry as hell, and the fake butter doesnt help it go down. This was the worst cornbread Ive ever tasted in my life. Weirdly salty like baking soda saltly. Super dry. Collard greens; canned? No butter, no flavor, no love. Green beans; CANNED, then lazily cooked with some crumbled bacon, no flavor. Fried okra; some frozen product that they dont make. Burgers...REAL bad. This is some weird frozen patty, like wavy factory edges, way overcooked, strange un-burger like texture...almost like veggie burger consistency. Flavor? Salt. Thats the flavor. So dry salt patty. Mac and cheese; watery. No love, no flavor. The food of the other 5 people in our party looked pretty bad, too. Seriously, avoid this place like the plague. Go across the street to the Flying J truck stop. At least over there, you can take a shower after you eat. read more

I've heard about this place and it didn't disappoint. I love that bible verses are on the menu, walls and at checkout. Food is very reasonably priced and large portions. This is a great stop when in Mt. Airy, NC. read more

We had breakfast here Saturday. It was probably the best breakfast food I have had locally. It was definitely the best bacon and the best scrambled eggs I have had anywhere in Surry County. I'm still on the look out for the place with the best French Toast with out going to Myrtle Beach. read more

Perfect hometown, comfort food. Stopped here after a long drive and the food and service were fantastic. Their ranch dressing should be bottled it's so good! read more

Place has good food. However, I think it be important to have a host during rush hours. Stood in line for 10 min to get a table. 2 tables Im the back of the line, walked to dirty tables and sat down. The servers nor the cashier said anything to these customers and allow them to sit down. With no apology to the people who were being respectful and waiting for the servers to do their job. This could be a great place for a restaurant. But it's ran like a community gathering spot. read more

Really good grilled chicken sandwich! FF and ranch were good as well! Didn't try anything else

Ok simple country food. Filling but nothing special. though probably special to the folks that live in the area as there are not many restaurants in the area. For me, it was the 8oz hamburger that tells the story..essentially a Big Mac minus the bun. The waitress asking me how I wanted it cooked was a joke. Fried okra and squash were ok. read more

The meatloaf was hard or over cooked like a lot of their food and the side dishes are so hot it takes several minutes to cool

Great place for friendly people and great country cooking! We will be back when we travel that way again!

Good food. Good service. Reasonable prices. We had taco salad with chicken and grilled catfish/corn fritters.

The pulled pork and baked potato and Cole slaw were very good. My wife said her pork chops were very tasty and good. The service was good. The view of the mountains from the dining area is spectacular. read more

We got breakfast and it was great. Our waitress was awesome! We had the breakfast special. The pancakes were fluffy and a little sweet which I liked. My over easy eggs were just the right combination of runny and done. read more

Great local diner. Hubby stopped by for breakfast while traveling. The food, service, and prices were great. You'll probably only need to order one pancake! They're yummy and as big as a plate! read more

Great local food. Served hot and quickly!! The wait staff is amazing !!! This place has amazing daily specials. They have breakfast every day & all day!! On this visit they were very busy. We were seated right away and our drink orders taken. The special was clay and pepper cat fish !!! Let me just say wow. Amazing cat fish, light and fluffy. The portions were extra large for 8.10 $ read more

The Copper Pot - Southern Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

Sitting on top of a hill next to a truck stop, it's well worth the hike to dine at this place. Looks like it's been in business a number of years and is frequented by locals. Specials were baked spaghetti, chicken livers, and ribeye steak. I had the baked spaghetti and it was excellent. Next time I'll try the ribeye. All you truckers at the Flying J, get some exercise and enjoy some great food! read more

Food is always good, and service is always great and quick. Prices are fair and specials change daily. Some dishes I recommend are: gravy biscuits, cheese fries, and fish they have is fresh and yummy. read more

Really good sandwich and friendly people. Would recommend to anyone. I had a club sandwich and a Pepsi. Best club sandwich I've had in.... I think ever. read more

The Copper Pot - Southern Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

My family stopped at this local restaurant driving north on I-77. In a complete dead zone for the usual fast food options, we trusted the Yelp community's ratings and gave it a try. These sorts of local interstate stops always seem to be hit or miss; the Copper Pot was definitely a hit. It's certainly not "fast" food but it's very good country/diner cooking. read more

This place was just what we needed! It may not look like much, but the BLT was sooooo good! Sorry I didn't get a picture of it before woofing it down! Super friendly wait staff and the prices are unbeatable. I would definitely go back if I was in the area! read more

The Copper Pot - Philly cheese steak with a small side of onion rings - Southern Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

This place was a nice and friendly diner that we stopped on our way home. The food was good and the service friendly. I even spilled my drink and the waitress cleaned it up with no attitude or anything. :) read more

The great old Copper Pot! When I travel through Mount Airy (Mayberry) this is my main stop location. Frankly the way life used to be, the way life should be, and here in Mount Airy it is. Pricing is great, I have never had a bad meal. Home cooking not boil in a bag chain food. The staff is fantastic and the crowd local. So if you are heading north on I-77 (just reverse for the southbound) take Exit 100, turn right, pass the truck stop on the left, take your next right to the hilltop, and enjoy your meal. read more

Asked around 'mayberry' and many locals recommended...and they were spot on. I ordered the Copper Burger, 8oz steakburger with all the fixins ($5) and it was great. My Lady ordered the chicken liver dinner for $7! there were at least a dozen very large livers with 2 plentiful side dishes. The livers were the largest and most tender we have ever had. Service was super friendly and place was clean. There at dinner time and surrounded by locals on a first name basis. If your traveling by here I would take the time for a good inexpensive home cooked meal. read more

What a treasure! The food was tasty. The price was outstanding. The service was hospitable. You need to take visit. read more

Outstanding food and outstanding service all with affordable prices. Adorable place, very clean, everything we got was excellent and super fresh. Chicken livers were some of the best we've ever had! read more

A bit of a wait due to a large to-go order / but friendly service, good and hot food and the coffee kept coming, I'll be back.

Excellent country breakfast. Great prices. Had western omelet. Very good. Quick service.

Lots of food. Fairly priced and everything seamed homemade. Definitely worth a shot. Right off the highway.

This is a restraunt!!!? This food was not good at all. They had on the special board Steak Tips $9.99. Waitress was nice but ssslllooowww. We asked the waitress, "Michelle" , how they were prepepare; steak rips, she said with peppers and onions. Okay we ordered them. Medium rare. Came with sides. Finally came, two little strips of green pepper and about three thin slices of onion and they were drenched in greasy oil. Steak tips were well done. She never came back for a long time. She finally came with the check. We were charged separately, for the peppers, and charged for the onions. Side salad was $3.75! No tomatoes, no cucumbers; just warm brownish ends lettuce, and a few shaved carrot strips. We left hungry. I cannot believe people eat here. It is not a restraunt; it is a horribly bad "Greasy Spoon. Lock your doors. read more

Had supper here on the way to Myrtle Beach. We were impressed with how clean this restaurant was. Easy access from I-77. Service was super fast, friendly server, and food was hot and yummy. Big menu, daily specials, and breakfast all day. I recommend 100%. read more

Always a 5/5 experience. Great for vegetarians, definitely not as good for vegans though. Most of the food seems to be cooked with butter but what do you expect with southern style food. The value is great, prices are fair and portions fulfilling. My favorites: fried okra, fried squash, cornbread, cheese fries, cream potatoes, cheese omelet. read more

My wife and I went there tonite for dinner, food and staff were great. You must try the funnel fries must warn you their addictive. Will be back soon. read more

Great service and food . Loved it just traveling threw. Thank you for such goodness!!!

Ok this quaint little country restaurant is steeped in the the Mayberry/Andy Griffith nostalgia... The meal selection is typical country fare, the service was impeccably polite and the cleanliness is truly next to Godliness. If Christian ideals, motifs, and slogans offend thee I suggest that you look elsewhere, but you'd be a fool. If you're coming from ANY LARGE metro area you're going to realize that the cost of the food will be far less than what you would leave for an average tip for average service in your hometown... it worth the 5 minute detour from I77/74... (I77 exit 100)...again the food, the cleanliness and MOST IMPORTANTLY the service staff were all excellent... when we arrived they were actually dusting the tops of the counters WELL ABOVE anyone's sight line... read more

Great food and service! The wings were great and everything came out hot and quickly. Will definitely stop in again!

Stop here if you get a chance. Great yummy southern food. I was on a road trip and didn't want a any fast food. This was perfect.

I came here one morning when I first moved and it was disgusting, the breakfast is not the best. But everyone there was fairly nice
