Copper Canyon Grill

Stop by with friends for lunch, the drinks were good, the appetizers were tasty, burgers were cooked to the right temperature. pasta were decent. Their cheese cake and fresh pressed coffee were good too. The service was excellent and friendly. Overall great lunch with friends and food.

Same restaurant group that owns Stanford Grill. Menu is almost identical to Stanford Grill which is a good thing. They recently renovated the patio area and it’s a great spot. I recommend getting a table there. I really like their Grilled rainbow trout, and crispy chicken sandwich. Save room for dessert, their bread pudding is so good.

Had lunch with a friend on a Friday afternoon and everything was great. The new floating dining area on the lake is super stable and adds a relaxing, upscale vibe. I thought I was in Miami or something 😀 We started with calamari ; crispy and well done , then I had a fresh salad with warm cornbread on the side. Solid flavors all around. Also we had non alcoholic cocktails which were very great. Our server, Nayeli, was fantastic ,attentive, friendly, and on point. Great food, top-notch service, and a unique lakeside experience. Highly recommend.

Reserved a table on the new lake dining area yesterday (Saturday) evening. This is a nice new dining area. Mia was our server and was a sweetheart. We started out with the egg rolls they have for appetizer and they were great. The drink order that we started off with took longer then I would expect. Not sure if it was the logistics of the lake dining area or Mia. We order ourselves the meatloaf entree and the barbecue ribs. Both were large portions. The ribs totally fell off the bone and you can eat them easily with a fork. The meatloaf was great and perfectly moist. With the entree I had ordered a glass of wine and found the same issue with getting the beverage. I had already completed my ribs before getting it. Mia ended up coming the glass. Overall, the menu is on the pricey side but the food was great. Mia was sweet but could have been more attentive. The new lake dining is a great place to sit and enjoy a meal.

I've been here multiple times, but this is my first review. Great atmosphere and perfect for sitting outside in the warm months. The new patio area on the water looks amazing, and I hope to be able to give it a try. The pace is usually busy, so I would make a reservation. I was recently here, and they ran out of ice, which was not ideal as it was a warm day out. The food is good with some options for all. I had the crabcake sandwich. It fell apart all over the place. I will or course be back and try something different.

Me and my partner went for our third year anniversary. Our waitress Jordan C. was very outgoing and made sure we were taken care of. To note, Jordan asked about food allergies which I stated I had one and before the starters came out she came back and asked again for accuracy. Everything was served in a timely manner and tasted great!

Went there for our 26th Wedding Anniversary. Our helper Jordan were very welcoming. The girl who came out with the food had the biggest smile on her face. The food portion was very generous. Most of all enjoyed every moment because I was celebrating with my soul mate.

I've been to Copper Canyon Grill a few times over the years, and I am updating my review to improve my rating. It is a nice, comfortable, and convenient restaurant with a beautiful view and a kind and accommodating staff. Whether a small meeting, family gathering, or going on a date, they will provide you with a good experience.

I came for a late bite with friends Griselda took care of us at the lake house and she did a wonderful job making sure we were okay and cares for I would come just for her to take care of my table and my family and future family and friend again she deserves a raise for how she took care of us

Our server was very sweet and 5 stars for the food! All the stars for that smoked salmon! The spinach had only just decided to wilt and the salmon was cooked perfectly medium. I'll definitely be coming back for that. The chefs saved my tough day. The location is beautiful so we asked to sit in the heated patio but the many marks on the marble tables and the gnat population left much to be desired. Although it's springtime and I'm sure they'll remedy that soon.

Sunday 4/13/25 Whenever I visit Rio, I always see this spot, but I can't remember ever making a visit. That all changed today as my mom decided to have her 52nd birthday here. She made a reservation for 7:30 pm with me and my brother, and luckily it wasn't necessary as it was relatively light around that time. Our waiter was Brandon, and he provided us with great service, so shoutout to Brandon. Also, there's a nice view of the lake from where we sat, which adds to the ambiance. As a table, we got many different dishes, but the items I had/ tried were the calamari fritti FREE, fiesta egg rolls $17, iron skillet cornbread $10, rattlesnake pasta $23.50, and the bread pudding $14. I also tried a rib from my brother's main dish. - The calamari fritti was alright, and fortunately, my mom was able to get it complimentary (props to the service). - The Fiesta egg rolls were my favorite appetizer. It was decent. - The iron skillet cornbread was fine. - The rattlesnake pasta was my main dish, and I opted to remove the mushrooms for spinach. The dish was okay, but I wasn't impressed. - The bread pudding was alright, but it really could've benefited from the addition of ice cream or even a sauce that was richer & sweeter. - The rib I tried was alright: the ribs are tender, and the sauce is the main flavor you get from it, as you don't taste any seasoning. Overall, the food was alright, the service was good, and the ambiance was nice. I wouldn't see myself coming back for the food options, but elite service like that is always appreciated.

When trying a new restaurant, I tend to venture over to Yelp and review the popular menu items. Sometimes this method pans out and others, not so much. This time it was spot on. My only regret in ordering this dish was that I couldn't finish it all. My waiter and his colleagues gave just the right amount of attentiveness, creating such a welcoming experience that this restaurant has indeed been added to my list!

A good experience at this Copper Canyon Grill at the Rio. The overall concept is upscale American food. A step above the familiar American chain sit-down restaurants. The customer service was good and the dining room was very quiet. On the day I visited, the customer food traffic was very light. In fact, there were only a few patrons dining in. Their food menu is limited, however, the options make sense and their execution and plating is good. All of the food I ordered was delicious. There is also seating outdoors, however, I appreciate the multiple seating styles in the dining room, including family-style booth seating, two-seaters, and bench seating. The kids menu is also thoughtful and adequate. Overall, a good experience and I will visit again.

Same restaurant group that owns Stanford Grill. Menu is almost identical to Stanford Grill which is a good thing. They recently renovated the patio area and it's a great spot. I recommend getting a table there. I really like their Grilled rainbow trout, and crispy chicken sandwich. Save room for dessert, their bread pudding is so good.

I really enjoy this restaurant. I've come here several times with my girlfriend. What I enjoy most is once you're inside, you're in another world other than the RIO, which can be teenage crazy at times. Everyone can't afford to come here. We've been here about five times and have always had a pleasant experience. Drinks are pretty good and the food is solid.

Recently came here for an overdue date night! It's nicely decorated right now for the holidays and they have 2 nice areas (one located more outside in a separate hall and the other located more inside the restaurant. The chicken here looks really good (chicken pot pie) but I opted for the wooden roasted chicken (a specialty). Overall, food was delicious. Our server was really sweet too. So thoughtful and always swung by to check on us and for refills.

Valentines evening at Copper Canyon. Cocktails at the bar with Erica prior to dinner were perfect! She has a wonderful personality and is always welcoming! Dinner was the Rattlesnake Pasta and Filet Mignon Oscar, which was cooked to the perfect temperature of medium rare...delish! Our server, Ashley, deserves 5 stars! She was attentive, knowledgeable and has a wonderful personality! Ashley took great care of us and her recommendations were spot on! After dinner drinks back at the bar were an Espresso Martini and Irish Coffee! Perfect!!!

Initially the restaurant couldn't find the reservation. Nina showed up and cleared it up by showing the confirmation message on her phone. So we waited maybe 20 minutes. Saturday night the place is very busy. Finally we get a small booth close to the door. It was a chilly night so that part of the restaurant was on the cool side. She put her jacket on. Ok, we have a seat and menus. I worked all day so I felt like and ordered a Yuengling. Water was also delivered to the table. The menu is pretty extensive. Lots of good choices but I finally decided on the rotisserie chicken and she decided on the grilled rainbow trout. The beer arrives and it's cold and tasty. The food arrives pretty quick, I'd say 15 minutes. The chicken smells divine and her trout looks very tasty. The chicken is perfectly cooked and mashed potatoes are lump free and very tasty. Her trout is perfectly cooked and will require a box. It's a generous piece of fish. After a while we're out in the chilly breezy weather. I would go back again. Service was pretty good and the food was served as it was ordered. Beer refil came quick as well.

Sat at big U-shaped bar. Plenty of seating, but not as vast as nearby YardHouse. Rotisserie Chicken Salad is always by go to but a bit too much on the tossed in dressing. Has two TV's at bar and outdoor seating. Good place for a date or business dinner.

Came here with a coworker for a weekday lunch. My coworker had a salad and I had the crab cake sandwich. Her salad was huge and my crab cake was kind of small (smaller than bun) but it was very good and came with fries. I think lunch could have been a bit cheaper. Perhaps having lunch specials would draw me back there. Our waitress was very attentive and informative. The ambiance was nice and cozy which was great since it was a very cold day.

Place has bug/nat problem. Had it swarming our table, shocking they don't have a plug in restaurant style bug zapper. Food is so so, similar to Olive Garden or red lobster

Loved the dinner I had af CCG. It has one of the best locations in Rio Lakefront with plenty indoor outdoor seating. We started off with fiesta eggrolls which is a must order! I was skeptical about sushi first but the fish was SO fresh, the avocado shrimp roll was one of the favorite bites for me! For our mains we got the rotisserie chicken and prime rib! That rib was JUICY and perfectly cooked! Another must-order is the cornbread! If you have any more space left, the chocolate uprising is a great dessert- they also have the apple crisp/crumble as seasonal dessert which was served warm and delicious. The cocktails are boozy.. we didnt get the ribs but the table next to us did and I had fomo a bit ! It was packed on a Saturday night (even the bar) so make reservations!

Beautiful, classy place with good food and drinks! The private was perfect for our celebration.

Copper Canyon is a great spot for dinner. I haven't been here for lunch, so I'd like to try it one day. With a traditional American menu, you can never go wrong. I've tried a variety of the items: their burgers, ribs, steak and fish of the day plates. Each time, I was always pleased with the service, quality of food and experience. This most recent visit was prompted by their ramen special. My family received an email from Blueridge restaurants that they had their streak ramen for one week only (they do this maybe once or twice a year). We came during a late evening to enjoy the rare soup. Unfortunately our waiter informed us it was only a lunch option. We were utterly disappointed as it wasn't outlined in the email that it was restricted to lunch and in the past we had gotten it for dinner. However, another waiter, Gary (who ended up taking over serving our table), was able to work it out with the kitchen so that we could fulfill our ramen craving. The ramen itself was yummy. The toppings it comes with are all premixed so there are no substitutions or adjustments that can be made. I'm not a fan of mushrooms, so I just had to pick them out. There were a ton of mushrooms and I felt that it was almost half of the soup. Nonetheless, I think the portion size was good- not too much and not too little. For a place that doesn't normally serve ramen, I was pleased. Like any other visit to Copper Canyon, we had to end the night with bread pudding. Because we were full from our ramen, one serving was enough for the 4 of us. When ordering the bread pudding, my recommendation is to request a side of extra sauce because the inside can be a bit dry sometimes. Overall, I'm always pleased with my visits to this Copper Canyon. Thank you to Gary for being our awesome waiter! If they have the ramen special, I suggest you order it because it is a rare option!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area and this location is the best one! I went here with a friend tonight to celebrate her first day at her new job. Our server, Emmanuel was amazing! He heard about her new job and brought her chicken pot pie with a candle in it. The food is always good and the staff are the nicest people. Well definitely be back soon!

Service by Amanda was amazing. The food was amazing.. the chicken tortilla soup and the Kansas City NY Strip special.. lord help us. The Ambiance was typical steak house in the Rockies. Reccomend highly

Haven't been here for many years and really missed their spinach & artichoke dips and bread pudding. The food is still not bad, but definitely on the bland side. I loved the cocktails and bread pudding! And service was super nice. Relaxing ambience good for casual dates or group/family dinner.

Had the smoked chicken avocado sandwich last night, I have to say this was the worst freaking sandwich I have ever eaten, the chicken tasted like an old ash tray. Please save your self some time and order something else.

We hadn't been to Rio in a few years and were curious to see the changes, including the deck bar at Copper Canyon Grill. It was a chilly overcast day and the outside bar was closed. Honestly it looked rather basic but maybe when it's open there's a lot more ambiance. We were seated in the restaurant in the year round enclosed patio. The windows were all closed and there were heaters running so it was quite comfortable. We were by the windows overlooking the board walk. It was nice to see people doing their steps, pushing baby carriages and/or walking their dogs. I could be wrong but the menu seemed a little different than last time we'd been there with more lighter choices. There were a number of items that sounded good to me. I started off with a bourbon and ginger ale, Rich ordered an old fashioned. Both drinks were perfect, mine that just the right balance of alcohol and mixer. After our waiter took our entree orders he asked if we had any allergies. I thought that was a very smart policy of the restaurant. I had the crab cake sandwich. I skipped the bun and ate the crab cake alone. As a life long Marylander I've eaten a lot of crab cakes in my life and Copper Canyon's was one of the best I've had. It was full of lump crab meat with little filler. The side dish was a pile of crispy shoe string fries, my favorite style. Rich had fish and chips, the fries were wedge cut. I tasted the fish and the batter was nice and crispy. The restaurant is clean and attractive and the service was very good. All in all a very pleasant meal.

Copper Canyon is the sister restaurant of Stanford Grill, so you will find a lot of the same delicious food items like the Cobb salad with chopped up chicken tenders (sub the dressing with garlic ranch, you're welcome), delicious fries and chicken tenders with barbecue sauce and Dijon mustard sauce made in-house, buttery noodles and lemon date for the littles, amazing Southwest rolls with bangin' chipotle dipping sauce, buttery mashed potatoes, and spinach dip. I damn near break my mouth every time I eat here. Service is attentive, kind, and accommodating. Def recommend.

This is a follow up to my first review from over the summer. Again the wait staff were excellent. We got there early for dinner and choose the same room we sat in last time. Maybe it was because of the windows being closed but the room was way to loud to have a conversation and it wasn't that crowded. Se asked to be moved into the restaurant proper and were accommodated with out any problem. Our noise problem now gone we enjoyed a drink and again excellent service. Our food came and it looked and tasted yummy. The portions are very generous however here where the problem occurred. I don't know what kind of Flys they were but there were way to many around our table. They looked like some kind of fruit fly and you can see by my photo that they were enough that it was easy to dispose of one but there were plenty more. Maybe it was an off night but it wasn't very appetizing. The food is delicious, the service fantastic. Please take care of this fly problem. I'm sure we'll still be back.

Food: food is surprisingly consistant. I believe they need to work on seasoning ...may a little more salt. Service is good. No complaints Ambiance: with the new addition to their eating area, both new and old do not match...however ambiance is always warm and inviting.

Been a long time since I have been here and although it was eerily quiet the ambience was rustic and clean - the staff was busy pushing out some of the nicest looking helpings of lunch I have seen in a long time. I sat at the bar and had a great server/bartender and the service was excellent! I had the rotisserie chicken salad and it was huge and tasty! I am sure the happy hour crowd loves the outdoor areas but the man made lake out back. Nice to be back!

Overall Experience, 3.75/5: I went here with my parents and bf for my birthday. It was a good experience for our first time. Food/Drink, 3/5: We got ribs, NY steak frites (16oz), and porterhouse steak (22 oz). The ribs were cooked to perfection because they fell off the bone so easily. The bbq sauce was a bit sweet, but tasted amazing. Both steaks were pretty good, but they could've use a bit more seasoning. Me and my bf shared the porterhouse and it was enough for the both of us. Both steaks had a lot more fat than I'm used to, but it was still pretty good. Portion sizes were gigantic because neither of my parents could finish their meals. Pricing, 3/5: Pricing wasn't too bad, but for the quality of the food I expected more for what we paid for. Service, 4.5/5: Our server was super helpful. He was on point with everything we asked for. My parents asked for hot sauce and he brought out 4 different types of sauces, plus chili flakes! The only down side was where we seated outside. Aesthetic/Atmosphere, 3.5/5: We were seated outside in the patio/deck area. It would've been nice since it's near the water, but it was still very hot that day and the AC and fans were not working well... It was so humid.

I rarely do yelp reviews. But, here goes. My friend chose this restaurant as they have had their prime rib before. It was his birthday so I was good with that. When we walked in, I mentioned to the hostess that it was his birthday. She nodded and said good. I assumed that meant she would tell our waiter. We ordered appetizers- calamari- no taste no spices just fried breading. I had a salad with - average Prime Rib- $40! only comes with a vegetable- no starch. You had to order that as a side. The prime rib was requested at medium rare and came out blood rare. It was sent back and was then overcooked. Post meal. I motioned to the waiter about the birthday. We don't do anything for birthdays. I guess we could have been told that by the hostess? Pros- wait staff very nice cons- overpriced average food

It was empty on Sunday at 3:30 pm. Got there early for a 4 pm reservation. The host assigned us to a table close to the rest room in the middle of high traffic area. We asked on one of the many empty booth. They were also out of moscato. I guess it ran out the week before for valentines. The bathroom at that time of the day was filthy. I had to let them know to get it clean and that turned me off before I got my meal. We both got the rattlesnake pasta and it had more sweet peppers than chicken.

For some reason, at this location, the food misses the mark. I had their pasta and their pot pies and salads. I really try not to send food back unless it's horrendous. For what they charge, I should not have mediocre food. My chicken pot pie consists of a few chunks of chicken and the rest veggies, the filling was so bland, and salt and pepper could not make it better. Cornbread is blah, as someone who makes this on the regular, I wish I could train the cooks on how to make it better. I had to add slabs and slabs of butter to eat it. The ahi tuna wasn't fresh and put a dent in my evening. The service is great, very nice staff and good management, I give them that. On warm nights they open the windows so you can see the view of water, I never have issues at the DSS or Bowie locations, it's always this location :( I don't recommend this place. Sorry.

Had a work lunch with around 15 people here. They were able to accommodate our group size efficiently. The absolute best thing on the menu was their southwest egg rolls. The tuna salad flavors did not mix well with the actual tuna and instead would be better paired with chicken. I'd reccomend this place for groups as they have a variety of foods to pick from.

Incredible! Our server Paige was sweet, very attentive but not overbearing, knowledgeable of all the menu items and offered great recommendations. She even brought me a cup with water for the flowers my boyfriend gave me. She definitely represented Copper Canyon Grill well and just shone, making our visit even more enjoyable with her joyful energy. The atmosphere was calm with nice ambience, comfy cozy seats, upbeat yet chill music selection and they even have real candles at every table! The bus service was right on time. The chicken Parmigiano was the best Ive ever tasted - no exaggeration. It has a special flavor zing that puts it above all the rest. And the portion size shocked me when it arrived...HUGE! topped with cheesy deliciousness and paired with linguini perfectly. The crab dip was superb, rich, creamy, with zesty kick from scallion topping! Even the vegetables were fresh, crispy, flavorful. Didnt have room for dessert but will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of dining in tonight & having Paige as my server. I have had not so great experiences here in the past, but tonight that changed. Food was amazing, drinks were perfect, and if you couldn't tell service was immaculate. 10/10 Thank you Paige for changing my mind, you have gained a regular.

Cooper Canyon Grill has some really good food. I wasn't able to get pictures because we were there for a birthday celebration but I can say that no one complained and we all had a different dish. I got the fiesta egg-rolls because I wasn't really hungry and they were delicious. The portions here are huge and the staff is lovely. Our waitress was so cute and friendly, and she did a really good job. The manager even came to check on us and I appreciated that. I love restaurants where the whole staff is involved. & I can't wait to go back to try some more food because they have lots of good menu items.

Went out on Friday night around 7pm. There was no wait, the food was amazing, the drinks very good and our server Ashley was the best- ask for her!

Disappointed...again. Our waiter was great, as was the beautiful interior and men's room. The problem was the same as I remembered years previous. No flavor!. I got the large prime rib which looked great but had zero taste. The aid jays sauce to add to the flavor was even worse. My wife got the ribs which again looked great but had no meaningful flavor. To top it off our waiter recommended the 6/$20 oyster special. After inquiring from the chef where they were from and finding out local VA so I said yes. Our waiter came back dismayed and informed us this same chef said they didn't have time to shuck 6 oysters. Our dear waiter asked if he could do and the chef again said no. There will not be a third time..

Love the spinach dip, the Cobb salad was average at best. Don't like the crust not good. Honey mustard is good.

We love the location in Rio Shopping Center. Such a wonderful place to walk around for a date. I've always loved the character of Copper Canyon Grill- from the fire burning outside to the patio overlooking the lake. We tried the oyster special which was fantastic. I also had the filet special but unfortunately was left a little underwhelmed. We also had a sushi plate that was good but not great. I'm a big fan of the small skillet of cornbread as an appetizer. So for us it was a few hits and a few misses during our latest visit. Service was fantastic

My family has been going to Copper Canyon for decades. From my picky-eating days to now, I've tried a variety of their menu items. They are most known for their corn bread, so I definitely recommend splitting that with your dining group. I also order their egg rolls pretty often, but they're less special/unique to their restaurant. Some of my favorite dishes are their Rattle Snake Pasta and Chicken Pot Pie! You honestly can't go wrong with whatever you choose to get :). Side note: their brother restaurant is the Stanford Grill. Both franchises have similar menus and are both great

I only come here for the steaks. The lunch portions are smaller so I have to get two. Fiesta spring rolls are their best appetizer.

Amazing food and service. You can always count on this restaurant group to nail it. I came by with my fiancé one cold evening for dinner in Rio and we left super pleased. As a fan of the Stanford grill, I already knew the food was going to be just as good. I had the burger, sushi, and noodle soup. Everything was cooked just right and tasted great, but the creamy chicken noodle soup was the best. We initially thought the soup of the day was a clam chowder but the waitress swore this would be just as good, if not better. And she was right! For my drink, I had a peartini and that too was delightful. Overall, I highly recommend this spot.

Quickly became a regular place we went for "special occasions" like a new job, date night, etc. consistent great service and palatable menu and dishes.

Pretty great food for an upscale NYE dinner celebration. The servers were all very accommodating for our party (4 adults one baby), allowing us to switch tables for a cooler temp location. And very friendly. The view in the back room overlooking the lake with Christmas lights was very pleasant. We'll be back for a special occasion when we don't want to venture too far from home.

Copper Canyon Grill is always a delight....Guaranteed great food, great service and the ambiance is perfect!

Great food and service! Everything we ordered was delicious and the servers knew their stuff.

It's pretty, but given the expense the dishes should be memorable instead of forgettable, and the service should be better, e.g. more experienced. Charley Prime is a much better choice in every way.

The food was very good and it arrived quickly. I wanted to leave a review because of our server. Dawson was amazing. He was knowledgeable about the menu and answered all our questions. He also kept our drinks full. He made our experience amazing!! Thank you, Dawson, we will be back.

visited Copper Canyon with my family and it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant offers a beautiful view and I especially love the outdoor seating. The customer service was top-notch and the food was delicious. It has become my go-to spot whenever I visit my parents. I highly recommend Copper Canyon for a great dining experience with excellent service and a lovely atmosphere.

Paige is an excellent and a blessing to have as a waiter. she's not bout the check she's definitely a waiter makes a customer feel welcome is not all about a check. She is passionate about her job n make sure u feel like home . I definitely recommend her and I will make sure that I will have her again.

sloppy bartender, slow service, messy bar. Took forever to get service initiated. Bartender was clueless and aloof when getting things started. Bartender was all over the place. Forgot my order 3 different times and put in my order late when the bar was less than 50% full. He spent more time watching the chiefs and ravens game than tending the bar. I asked for a glass of wine before the entree came out and he stepped out and I had to get the relief to get my wine. I asked for my check when the original bartender "stepped out" and wasn't processed until 25+ mins after. Horrible experience. Just care a little bit, it'll go a long way. Order number is #7982 on 09/05/24
