Not quite up to Jim's or John's Roast Pork level back in Philly (nothing really is, let's be honest), but way better than I expected way down here in Alabama. Definitely hit the spot. Their unsweet tea was actually delicious, strong and fresh tasting, not that watered down stuff you sometimes get. And can we talk about the to-go cups? They're massive! I filled mine up before leaving and it lasted me the whole ride home. Service was friendly and quick too. If you're in the area and want a filling lunch without breaking the bank, I'd say swing by. We'll definitely be back.

The Copper Penny was our choice! Be warned, parking is pretty limited. But it's so worth a visit! This is a sort of cafe style restaurant with sandwiches, soups, and lots of more gourmet homemade baked goods. They have lunch specials that come with a 1/2 sandwich and soup, though the sandwich choices are somewhat pared down compared to the main menu. The inside is airy and bright and the furniture is comfortable. You order at the counter. Staff was incredibly personable. The man who helped us later shared he was the owner's son. He welcomed everyone with genuine warmth and was eager to answer any and all questions people had. Our food came out in a reasonable time but there was a slight wait - though the apparent freshness made that more than worthwhile. My dad ordered a full Reuben sandwich; mom and I both chose the 1/2 sandwich and soup special. She got chicken salad and I got a grilled cheese. Both of us selected the red pepper soup. They have canned soda, which is what my dad got. I got a house-brewed sweet tea, which was gargantuan, delicious, and came with refills, though I can't imagine needing one based on how generous the portion was! Everyone's food was delicious. My grilled cheese was cooked absolutely perfectly and I could taste the flavors of each different cheese. The soup was so flavorful and comforting, the perfect thickness with nice crunchy croutons to pour on top at my leisure. Mom liked her chicken salad a lot, enjoying the fresh fruit inside the salad, and my dad was wowed by his Reuben. One of the better ones he's had in a while, he said, with lots of kraut, bread that stood up to it, and hearty corned beef. For dessert, we split a slice of hot cocoa cheesecake. For me, this was the only thing that was a *little* flat (I thought it was a little closer to a torte than a cheesecake and wished it had been a tiny bit fluffier), but the flavors were nice and my parents really enjoyed it. I got a peanut butter cupcake to take home for later and it fully redeemed their baked goods; it was delightfully moist, good icing to cake ratio, and bursting with PB flavor! I am not a huge cupcake girl and I could've eaten a dozen of these, lol. I hear tell they have a new, second location that opened in Fort Payne. Either spot, I'm sure, is outstanding. I'd highly recommend trying out this locally owned business. It has so much heart, thoughtfulness, and delicious food to offer!

It seemed clean enough and comfortable. You come in and order at the counter. They have a larger menu than I really expected. They have bbq dishes, hamburgers, and some daily specials that change up from time to time. I believe they also do steak at night. The service was adequately friendly and they delivered my food to the spot I chose to sit. As I often do when I'm unfamiliar with the bbq at a restaurant, I chose to order a loaded pork potato to be on the safer side. They gave me the choice of "solid or liquid" cheese, which I eventually figured out meant shredded cheese or cheez-wiz. I'm glad I picked solid lol. Somewhat interestingly it also comes with jalapeños and banana peppers, unless told otherwise. That's kind of unusual. It came out quickly. It was decent to look at but pretty disappointing all around. First off, it seems like a large potato, but when split down the middle, the actual toppings (meat, cheese, butter, jalapeños and banana peppers) were actually fairly sparse in their distribution. It was fairly dry and definitely needed more butter (or ANY sour cream). I'm thankful for the presence of the jalapeños and banana peppers because otherwise it would've been pretty bland. The pork had a slightly acrid quality to it and was dry and stringy. I tried a little bbq sauce and it was okay, but too sweet even for me - and I say that as someone who loves sweeter bbq sauce. Overall, this was a pretty unimpressive visit, but perhaps their other offerings are better.

I drove out of my way to try this place out and I can't say I was disappointed! I love visiting…read morerestaurants off the beaten path. :) About 10 minutes north of Scottsboro, this little place feels like home when you step inside. Honestly, it sort of looks like home from the outside, too! There's a sweet memorial for a dog who has passed near the front door, honoring their favorite spot, which I thought was precious. Even though I popped in only like 35 minutes til close, I was welcomed warmly and not rushed. Their menu has American classics like hamburgers, chicken tenders, sandwiches, hot dogs, onion rings, fries, etc. It seems like burgers are the main attraction here, though, so I got their take on a mushroom and Swiss burger (my fav) and some French fries. The sweet tea I had to drink was perfectly refreshing and quite sweet, just the way I like it. I do remember thinking the total was a touch high for a single patty, fairly thin burger, but it is what it is. At least it was clearly fresh and high quality, which is much more than you can say for fast food. Like I said, food was cooked fresh but still came out to me in a timely manner. Heck, the fries were still so hot I burned my mouth a teeny bit! I was just trying to eat and get out of their hair before closing, so my bad there haha. Frozen-fried crinkle cuts but they were nice and crispy. My biggest complaint about the whole experience was the salt was sort of just thrown on them in a pile at the top. So a few fries were extremelyyyyy salty and others not at all. The burger was, as expected, the star here! Cooked about medium-well, it was still plenty juicy despite the relative thinness of the patty. The mushrooms and Swiss cheese were so buttery and melty together. They add bacon to their mushroom and Swiss and honestly I could take it or leave it. Some of it wasn't as crispy as I prefer, and I think the mushrooms add the extra savory punch so bacon makes it a little heavy, but I'm honestly nit picking here. It was a very yummy burger. I very much enjoyed myself. This is the kind of spot my folks would love, so I hope to bring them back in the future, and also to come try the delightful-sounding Moon Pie banana pudding!
