Copperwood Tavern

Went on a Sunday afternoon and had brunch. Fried goat cheese - is tasty but you only get four fried balls for $14. Chicken and waffles was a big serving, love the potatoes. The maple is smothered on the chicken and it's just too sweet. Would prefer just some seasoned crispy fried chicken and then save the sweetness for the waffles. Would recommend getting it on the side. My mom had the crab cake Benedict which was tasty but there were shells mixed into the cake it seemed. Wasn't expecting it so she wasn't a huge fan. Actual meal portions were decent. Server was fine. Atmosphere was good. Will have to come back and try dinner instead.

Very lively and loud, which was expected for a restaurant in Shirlington. Everything we had were good, nothing stood out. Except the fruits on the Brie board were very fresh. I did leave yearning for a bit more to eat tho.

Went at 1800 on a Friday evening. Very good attentive service. Excellent choice of drinks. Food choices were good but a little overpriced. However would definitely go back. I did try the crazy bacon cocktail. And bacon was better than the drink.

The WORST experience I have EVER had in a restaurant, especially with the one that charges A LOT for an ABSOLUTELY mediocre food and even more mediocre service. On a hot July I walked in to this restaurant with shorts and sneakers, and immediately the hostess seemed certain that I was a delivery boy. When she realized that I was not, she gave me a look that gave me a vibe to mean "you can't possibly afford to eat here". I asked, if I could be seated outside and she responded "I don't have a server for outside", then she continued with a dismissive manner "Are you gonna be sitting here or not?". I was taken aback, but decided to stay. I took a table and a waiter came to take my order. He seemed very disinterested. Never bothered to introduce himself or be cordial. That was OK, because it was 10:15 at night and he probably was working all day and tired. I asked for a lagar beer and he informed me they have it only in a 'can'. I said ok, just put it in a glass for me (wondering to myself why he had to inform me about that) Until my food gets ready, I went to the bathroom. It was FILTHY. Extremely smelly and tissue papers all over the floor. For someone, who is hungry, that definitely takes one's appetite away. When my food comes, I asked for A1 source. The waiter said "they don't have any" (what harm does keeping an A1 source do for a steak that costs 2 times more than many places that have A MUCH BETTER steak with friendly crew?) I couldn't wait to settle my bill and get the hell out of there! Though I had a worst experience, I recognized the fault is the management. Not the waiter. Therefore, I made sure he was tipped well... PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE. Especially, if you are a person of color with a bit of an accent.

I went out last evening for a girls' night out with my sister. After catching a movie at the AMC Shirlington theater, we decided to grab a drink. I've frequented many restaurants in Shirlington since I live in Arlington, and I always have a great time. Eventually, after strolling around, we settled on CopperWood Tavern, and it turned out to be the most disappointing restaurant experience I've ever had. The women at the entrance were shockingly impolite and unhelpful. I told her it was a girls' night out and we preferred to sit at the bar. Their response? "Oh, you can sit anywhere." I had to point out that not just anywhere is the bar, and then she reluctantly directed us to a table in the middle of the room. Throughout this interaction, she sat behind her desk the entire time with a condescending expression on her face. I'm not one to cause a scene, so I let it go. I was raised better than that. I ordered a Commonwealth Mule cocktail, while my sister wanted a beer similar to Corona or Blue Moon. The bartender displayed extreme impatience, and after proposing a beer tasting to my sister which she did not like, he brought our drinks in under two minutes with a beer we didn't even validate in the first place. It was the first time I received a handcrafted cocktail at a bar in under two minutes. I may not be a drink expert, but I know the basics. Upon taking a sip of my cocktail, all I could taste was water, ice, and lime. I informed the bartender that it was the first time I had a drink that lacked any flavor. My sister jokingly mentioned that the drink wasn't strong enough, to which he responded with a deadpan expression that he could serve us straight alcohol if we preferred, which I replied that I'm French and can distinguish between a cocktail and straight liquor (which I didn't want in the first place). I politely inquired if he could recommend something similar to my cocktail, but he flatly refused. I thanked him and opted for a glass of water instead. Furthermore, the waiter who brought the oyster plate simply placed it in front of us and left without a word. The entire experience was uncomfortable and tense. My sister appeared visibly uneasy and just wanted to depart. I reassured her, reminding her that we were paying customers and not seeking charity. No one would make me feel uncomfortable with the money I willingly spend at their establishment. The least they could do is treat us with respect as customers, if not as fellow human beings. I work in the food and beverage industry myself, and I always ensure to treat all my customers with respect and dignity regardless of the circumstances. This was my first visit to this restaurant, and I certainly won't be returning. We felt belittled for reasons unknown to us. I am giving this place one star solely due to the kind gentleman who bid us farewell with a "bye ladies" as we exited.

Food was great, cocktails were excellent and the server was very personable and friendly but could have been a little more attentive toward the end of service. The Limoncello White Chocolate Cake that was ordered “to go” was not like it was described in the in-store menu (i.e., no purée), but was still tasty although on the dry side. The warm popcorn brought to the table at the beginning were sprinkled with a peculiar blend of spices (paprika?), but it wasnt bad and provide an innovative twist to a bar food classic. Dining area is decorated very well and was clean. I liked the tavern theme. Although I went for a late lunch, it has the potential for being a great place for date night. Timely service may be a concern when it gets busy, but thats just my own guess with no personal experience. The food and cocktails were very good and met my expectations with the exception of the “to go” dessert. I didnt take pictures of the filet and asparagus with the side of mashed potatoes but everything was on point, the dishes were presented well and had a great taste. Their glass of Napa Cabernet was an excellent accompaniment.

Good selection of house beers. The food prices are a bit on the higher side though some dishes are quite tasty. The Salmon is good, Chicken is okay as well. The sides especially the Brussel Sprouts and Asparagus are really good! Best to make reservations in advance or get there really early if you want patio seating. We had to wait 40 minutes on a Wednesday evening for the latter, though the food and beer overall made up for it.

I have visited this restaurant twice in the last 2 years and went back due to change in management. We had the soup and chili along with an app and some adult drinks. The food was good not great and the drinks are about the same. The service was good and the parking was plentiful.

Great meal, great ambiance. The General Manager was wonderful to work with to schedule a very large dinner party. They took great care of us and were so accommodating. Can't recommend them enough!

Oysters are Fine in taste, my biggest gripe is it's grainy and the shell if your put your mouth on it comes off super easy so your picking out shell half the time. Not really a "deal" on drinks still pricey but that seems to be the norm everywhere. Burgers are three and very small but decent in taste. 2 drinks HH sliders HH oysters Total over$60 without tip Aside from just being too pricey this place is fine

I just say their 24 "new" happy hour menu... ????? Lmao service here still sucks, food still sub par and your "new" happy hour menu still has 4 goat cheese balls for 12 dollars? Oysters up a dollar... which is why ppl loved to come here ... 6 dollar CHIPS? yall serve free popcorn why do yall even have chips on the menu? Seems like manipulative marketing technique filler so you don't have to put actual menu items that are heavily ordered at a discount. This menu makes NO SENSE. The decline of copperwood has been the biggest disappointment in the shirlington area I've been coming since 2017.

Short rib grilled cheese was flavorless Grits were so hard and undercooked Nothing really worthwhile to come back for . 2/5 :/

A friend and I decided to try this Shirlington restaurant and we're very glad we did. Our server was attentive, the ambiance was comfortable & cozy, and the food & drinks were excellent! We tried a couple of the cocktails (yummy), chilled oysters, decadent desserts, and the standouts for me was the sauce served with the tomatoes & the entire salmon dish!

The food is good but nothing to Yelp about. The service is moderately friendly but not warm (and we've been here more than a few times). The ambiance is warm and rustic and home-like. We'll go here again, but not before first trying the many other restaurants around Shirlington! This place is OK but not a standout.

Good food, great service and nice atmosphere. Instead of bread at the table there is a bucket of delicious popcorn, the seasoning is so tasty that you just won't want to stop eating it. There are a lot of good brunch options. I ventured to try something I have never had before, shrimp and grits because the vibe of the Tavern was saying this is the place to try something new. The dish was good, just not my thing but I will be back to try more. The fries were delicious. I got an order of biscuits to bring home; loved the homemade blueberry jam. The orange sherbet mimosa was cute and tasty. I look forward to going again.

Incredible pork chop & oysters. Cocktails are tremendous too. Bartender & Waitresses are friendly & professional. Only problem is that about 70% of the depraved dining patrons are miserable liberal Biden/Kamala supporters. 'How dare we speak Merry Christmas ' - Kamala Harris. God bless America. Make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

I had the 14oz ribeye which was cooked to perfection, flavorful, and juicy. Everyone else I was with enjoyed their meals as well. I think my favorite was the short rib appetizer. Honestly I would order that as a meal and would be perfectly content. It was very tender and sitting on a bed of mashed potatoes was the perfect compliment. Don't skip the short ribs when you go!

Great place for an early dinner after a show at the Signature Theater. Walking in you feel like you are walking into a cabin in the woods as you step inside. Loved the rustic decor. We were seated right away and our server promptly took our drink order. I had the porch punch, which was refreshing on a hot summer evening. All of the cocktails sounded great and I would've tried more, if I didn't have to drive home. I had the tavern burger and fries - cooked perfectly and delicious, the corn bread was good, too, i spotted a table near us eating popcorn and would've tried that if i had known it was available before being served dinner. Will be back to give it a try sometime!

It's been years since I've been here but I remember it being better than this. I want to start by saying the service was incredible from the time I got in, and our waiter at the table was phenomenal. I got the salmon and the French onion soup. My friend got a side order of spinach and the goat cheese balls that were fried. the salmon was cooked perfectly but for the price that it was, I would have assumed it came with some kind of side as well as the corn purée had absolutely Minimal flavor. The French onion soup had a very good depth of flavor in the broth but minimal onions and in my opinion not enough cheese. For the price everything was just OK but nothing memorable

I had brunch here with friends almost a year ago and then again more recently. Both meals were delicious. I really liked the biscuits -- huge and accompanied by butter and jam. I had the crab benedict one time and the steak omelet another. Enjoyed both thoroughly. I regret only that I didn't have room for dessert. It's a big place and bustling, and it can sometimes be difficult to get the attention of one's server, but on the whole, I think it's a great place for brunch before a show at the Signature Theater down the street.

I want to like this restaurant, I really do. Sitting outside is fun. Service is good. Wine pours are generous. But the food is not great. Oysters are no-name, almost like an afterthought, and they are dull, not at all briny. They are just blah. A salad is bright and pretty with shaved carrots and radishes but then the shrimp put on top of it are dripping with butter. We wonder if they were originally prepared for another dish. Not a fan. I think they are gliding by on their location in the middle of Shirlington's restaurant row.

Visited for happy hour. I think the oysters were $3 a piece, pretty good. Service was good and fast. Salad was delicious.

Came for my friend's 30th birthday and didn't have any high expectations for the dinner. Not only was the manager/server amazing at their job, each dish we tried was delicious! I personally had the baked Brie, Brussels sprouts, and ice cream flight. I tried the other dishes at the table which included roasted duck , rabbit, venison meatballs, beef tartare. All done exceptionally well! Can't go wrong with a charcuterie board! Brussels sprouts were crispy and flavorful. Venison meatballs had the most distinctive flavors out of all the dishes at the table.

Another 5-star review on a restaurant in shirlington! I've been eyeing this place for awhile so I was really excited to give it a try. My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick bite as we were both too tired to cook at home. We went close to 9 pm so only the small bar/late night menu was available. It was still a decent selection of options so we opted in. He ordered a burger with fries and I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with fries. My sandwich was filling and came out warm. The sandwich was genuinely spicy so I did end up getting some of the sniffles. A decent 4/5 for the sandwich but the fries were pretty average (I'm a huge French fry lover so I'm bit particular on the crispy vs salt level). Service was excellent as well. We were greeted and seated immediately when we walked in. We had a very friendly/casual conversation with the bar tender and they even changed the TV channel so we could watch football. The ambiance is casual but it feels like your go-to bar around the corner. It feels fairly homey. I must say though, I did not care for most of the customers during this time. We went on a Monday morning and was seated next to a man who consistently would not stop flirting with a woman who just wanted to relax at the bar after a hard day at work. There were also a bunch of buzzed people obnoxiously pigggy back riding each other at the bar. This definitely killed the vibe of the restaurant. Other then that, I was oretty happy and would come back, just at an earlier time.

Today, I made a reservation for outside for 6 people on open table. My parents and their friends came to visit and we had two good experiences prior with Copperwood Tavern. This time I went in and told them we were here for our reservation for 6 outside and was told "that's not possible. we don't do outdoor reservations, let alone for 6." And given the option to either get put on a waitlist to sit separate outside or to come back another time without my dog so we can sit inside. They agreed they had my reservation but said that open table for some reason wouldn't take away the outdoor option. I have worked in customer service, majored in hospitality in college, and know that even if that's the case you still accommodate until you can get that fixed and you do so kindly. They ended up seating us in two separate tables close to each other but could not be pushed together because of an umbrella which was fine. Then a table opened up in the back that was already a 6 top with our favorite server (we love him and he's always been so amazing the entire time) they cleared it for us to move back there and once we were seated told us no you need to move back we already gave this table to a different group. It was a mother and her baby, along with her friend. We asked why they couldn't just sit where we were under an umbrella where there's already a two top set up instead of splitting up the only 6 top (where I was told they don't do 6 tops ever). We were told no because they had a reservation but when we questioned that the manager denied the outdoor reservation. It was a complete disappointment and they "tried" to accommodate us but it was not in a customer service or friendly way with any good options and they blamed it all on open table. As a customer coming to their establishment and made a reservation to sit outside, through their system, they should immediately make that work. Instead, they made me feel like it was my fault, open tables fault, and blamed everyone but themselves. The only redeeming thing for this place was their food has been good in the past and the one server who came over and told me not to worry about what they said and was completely kind to me the entire time and willing to help me. After they told us to go back to our original tables we left since that entire interaction was disappointing. As we walked away we saw them pull apart the 6 top into 3 two tops which was exactly what we were already sitting in.... see the attached screenshots as proof for my OUTDOOR RESERVATION FOR 6 and the option to make it.

So I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately the experience was very underwhelming. I met a friend for lunch around 1:30 on a Saturday. They weren't too busy for a Saturday afternoon so we were sat immediately, the server was attentive up until we got our food after that he never returned to ask us how everything was until it was time to ask for the check. Which was okay since we were talking but I still think a check in would've been nice to have. The biscuits were the only highlight of this outing. They were absolutely delicious flakiness. The berry compote was good but the honey spread was the winner. I did ask the server what he recommended and he said since my friend got the shrimp and grits the second most popular dish was chicken and waffles. They were both very much lacking flavor. The chicken and the waffle were very soft almost mushy due to the sauce being poured on top. Overall the place was very much "just okay."

Copperwood Tavern offers a brunch, lunch, dinner, and a drink menu - we came to check out the Shirlington location for some quick shareable apps and drinks. We were directed to the bar area, but with not being attended for awhile, we decided we would try another eatery that had more of an attentive service. The place was busy, but not sure if they just didn't have enough staff members or they didn't care? Either way, we walked out; from this experience, I wouldn't return. +non-existent service

Visited this restaurant for brunch on Saturday as part of a birthday outing with my bestie. It was such a nice day out and Shirlington is a great area for out door dining on a beautiful day. Breakfast is my favorite meal but I don't like to eat during breakfast hours so brunch is always right up my alley. So we wanted to find a place that seemed to have great breakfast. This pictures of the food in the reviews is what had us land on this choice. I loved the rustic look of this tavern and it has plenty of seating in doors as well. The service was great, the waiter was attentive and he kept our water and coffee cups full. The coffee isn't anything special and it was lukewarm but the server was more then happy to provide hot coffee at our request. If you need a good cup of coffee with your breakfast/brunch you might want to grab one before you arrive. I opted for the shrimp and grits and added a side of eggs because it wasn't included and I really need my eggs for breakfast! The Shrimp and grits was full of flavor but it is a different style then I am use to. This restaurant severs it up with gravy. It was definitely good, had a lot of flavor...but I am just a big fan of the traditional or cheesy shrimp & grits and for that reason I don't think I would order it again. The fried green tomatoes were just ok. I liked them better with the cream sauce, my bestie liked them better with out it. I feel like this first visit didn't give me a fair view of what Copperwood Tavern has to offer and believe I will have to visit again before I can really decide if it's a place I love or not. So, to be continued!

Dinner here might be good but our lunch experience was really disappointing. I came in starving, ate lunch, and walked out still starving. Not just still kind of hungry. Starving. I literally went to the taco place a few doors down and ordered an entire other lunch. Service was friendly and attentive, but that's the best I can say about it. The ambiance is that of a Disney log cabin ride featuring animatronic woodland creatures playing banjos. Add to that the cognitively dissonant price point and it seems like a restaurant specifically designed to suit the single-person audience of Jed Clampett. The lunch menu felt very limited. It was the kind of menu that has vegetarian options out of obligation, but isn't enthusiastic about them. The obligatory veggie burger, a few proteinless salads and appetizers, but nothing exciting, taste-wise or nutritionally. In general, the menu focused heavily on burgers and sandwiches, with only a few true entrees. The limited menu, and, later, its execution, made it abundantly clear that lunch here is an afterthought - perhaps an effort to use up the leftover ingredients from the previous evening's dinner service. Mostly, though, my complaint is with the value of the food. The actual flavor profiles were fine, if nothing special, but the quality and portion size were laughable. My fiance's meal was the less-disappointing of our two lunches. He ordered a basic cheeseburger with a side salad. It was an $18 burger and it was small compared to similarly priced burgers at other places with like menus, and also compared to the much more affordably-priced and significantly more delicious fast casual burger joint just down the street (we should have gone there!). It came with avocado and other Southwestern fixings, but the portion of avocado was paltry, like half of one slice (see photo). Also, he ordered it medium and told me after biting in that it was extremely well-done. The side salad seemed decent enough, though the large slices of watermelon radish, which should have been an impressive element, were really dried out. I, being pescetarian and not wanting to spend $30 on a fish filet at lunchtime, ordered a basic salad for $12 and paid an additional $6 to add goat cheese, for a total of $18. It turns out that my salad was a slightly larger portion of the exact same side salad that came with my fiance's burger. The dressing was nice, the greens, carrot shavings, and tomatoes were fresh, but I chose not to consume the dehydrated radish slices. The additional goat cheese amounted to two tiny little spheres that I could have closed my fist around, at $3 a pop. Basically, my salad had testicles. Neutered, perhaps, from a captive banjo-strumming racoon. This was not an $18 salad. It was an amuse-bouche. It was a plate of garnish. It was offensive. Notably, Copperwood Tavern was almost empty compared with the many, many other lunch options around it in Shirlington at the same time of day. I cannot tell you not to come here ever, but I feel confident telling you not to come here ever for lunch. And also that, for a very similar type of menu at a similar price point, but with way more options and much better ambiance, you can skip jauntily across the street to Carlyle and leave much happier.

Food used to be great but we the last few times we have been there have been bad. It seems that they are using cheaper ingredients. The service is ok but not great. Ambience may be too laud to enjoy a mean and have a conversation. It does feel place is good down. We are not going back there

Elliott was amazing with the best friendly demeanor and customer service! He was gracious enough to let us try the delicious corn bread with orange whipped butter! Yum! The ambience and atmosphere is intimate with a cabin feel that is welcoming and unpretentious. Reminds me of my many trips to Quebec without the accents and air fare! I would definitely bring my friends and family here. However, the food is far from typical fair. I enjoyed my tiramisu martinis (yes, I had two because they were SO delicious!) and bacon old fashioned, which paired well with my brisket grilled cheese. Comfort food was never so upscale and yet warming. Definitely would come back again and again. Looking forward to doing a dinner or brunch review soon!

The food here was great. I usually eat raw oysters but the grilled oysters here were delicious. They were warm and topped with butter and a crunchy topping. The duck 2 ways was also delicious. The duck was moist and flavorful. I also enjoyed the seasonal cocktail I had. The service was good and the restaurant had a warm and cozy atmosphere.

I decided to go here on a whim for my birthday, and it was a pleasant surprise! The service was fast and our waitress was friendly. The food was really good, especially the raw and grilled oysters. The other dishes were also good, like the French onion soup, although the fried green tomatoes were a bit heavily breaded for my taste. There was also a great beer selection--many styles to accommodate many tastes. It was no problem getting a table on a weekday afternoon at an off hour. I'm sure that it's busy at peak times, as is the rest of Shirlington. It was a really lovely, low-key birthday. I'm glad that I spent it here, because I wasn't disappointed by the meal. I'll definitely come back for another late lunch/early dinner.

It looks like a heightened Cracker Barrel so I tamed my expectations when I walked in. We only planned to have a drink before our dinner nearby but ended up coming back after bar hopping around for a meal and I was really happy with my salmon. As simple as the dish seems, it's hard to get it just right- it was moist in the inside and crispy on the outside. Loved the accompanying mash/puree. Drinks are solid and service was par. I never had to wait long before getting asked if I needed another drink. And they always did it with a smile. They were packed to the brim on a Friday night - and you could tell they were all locals. A good sign if people from the neighborhood make it their Friday go-to. Lovely time.

I love Copperwood and have always had great experiences while dining here. I stoped by today to have a drink before my reservations next door and met Kansas, she made me wish I didn't have plans elsewhere, I promised I'd be back. After returning as promised, Kansas continued to provide great recommendations along with fantastic, fun and never ending great service! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Ate here on Sunday. Food was delicious, I had the shrimp & grits with a side of bacon. Definitely comfort food. The ambiance is chill, family oriented style. Our server was so nice. We loved her. Wasn't a lot of diversity in the place, but they maybe due to the area. However, we felt a bit out of place since we were literally the only black folks in there but that had nothing to do with the restaurant. Like I mentioned just the area. I will return maybe to bring my mom for a quiet dinner of some sort.

Came here for dinner on a Sunday night perfectly cooked salmon and exceptional customer service. My friend and I sat outside where the tables were clean and had umbrellas for shade. They give you season popcorn when you get seated. Our waiter was extremely friendly and often refilled our drinks and even hooked us up with their brussel sprouts. They were quite tasty. I ordered the French onion soup which unfortunately was quite disappointing. It came in a cute little cast iron cauldron. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The outside and the skin was crispy and perfectly seasoned while the inside was light and moist. My friend got the steak tartare and the vension meatballs. Overall, I would suggest getting the salmon. I would skip the French onion soup.

This is a Good brunch spot for groups. They serve spiced popcorn as a complimentary appetizer. The Brie platter was small but it was delicious and came with some fresh fruits. The chicken and waffles was perfectly cooked. It was moist and packed full of flavor. The berry ricotta pancakes were mediocre and not very berry filled. The elderflower mimosa was refreshing and our friend loved his Rise and shine breakfast coffee cocktail. The omelettes were a good portion size and came with a plate of breakfast potatoes. The Scalloped potatoes were amazing. They weren't busy when we were there so there were plenty of servers and staff to help us if we needed something. The ambiance was a rustic scene with warm wood paneling, tables, and country themed decor. There is also a large collection of dog photos outside the bathroom.

Very interesting decor and a great atmosphere for drinks or dining. Food was excellent if a little pricey. Good selection of dishes to choose from. Very interesting cocktail selection, especially the seasonal. How can you possibly go wrong when there are this many dog photos spread around. .

I came here for brunch with a friend, the second location I've tried now. We got sat in a really dark back corner and it took a bit for the waiter to get to us with waters and popcorn. For our drinks we got the orange sherbet mimosa and the apple cider Bellini which was one of the best fall drinks I've had- I'd come back for that alone. For our mains we got a kale romaine Caesar and a side of grits and the Denver omelette. The kale romaine was really lack luster- the "kale" had long stems and was super wilted, almost like a spinach and didn't have a ton of dressing. The grits were really chunky and almost tasted half uncooked? The omelette was ok but the breakfast potatoes were great. I say drinks were a 4/5, food a 2/5 and ambiance and service a 3.

Brunch here is Amazing! Eggs Benedict is the way to go. After being seated, they bring you popcorn with their own butter, sugar, pepper combo - unlike anything I've ever had - Delish!

The restaurant is dimly lit, with music playing in the background. Key feature was the farm to table advertisement on the window. The wife bought it so in we went. I saw a few friends giving it thumbs up so I was ready to try it. Started with the bourbon stout which was on point! The wife order the salmon salad and I got the steak and blue cheese salad w/ Brussels sprouts. Loved it! Almost forgot, we order the baked Brie with berries and almonds, the best item on the menu, you must try it. Our server was excellent making sure we had all we needed. I will definitely be back to try Happy Hour.

Because we were in the area for the weekend and because of the reviews we read on Yelp, we decided to check out Copperwood Tavern. I loved the ambiance from the first walk into their place. It was open, airy, and felt welcoming. It was easy to see who the staff was based on their shirts and their professional and welcoming helpfulness. When you first sit down, you are served refreshing cold water and some seasoned popcorn to munch on as you browse the menu choices. We first shared the biscuit board with flavorful blueberry jam, whipped butter, and honey. My husband enjoyed the chicken and waffles, along with a Bloody Mary. I ate a delicious steak tips and mushroom Omelet with their house potatoes. I had the best mojito to parch my thirst. If I return to that area, I would definitely go back.

We usually have a good experience here, but the latest trip to Copperwood Tavern for brunch on a Saturday was not good at all. The food was good, but the service was really what made this experience so bad. I won't shame our server by name, but his service was very subpar. First, we ordered an appetizer to share and we never got the dish. We would have asked him for it but one, our entree dishes came out so fast there was no point to then ask for it, and two, he never came by to check on us so we would have had a hard time flagging him down anyway. Luckily, we weren't charged for it, but he never noticed that he didn't put the order in, nor did he apoligize for the mistake. As I mentioned, we received our food very quickly from a busboy and we ate our entire meal without our server once coming to the table and asking us if we needed anything. He did come to a nearby table, flirted heavily, gave them free drinks that they did not ask for (and in fact those customers had just told him that they did not want more drinks because they needed to drive) but he did not come to our table. We even had to flag down another server to ask for our check and a to-go box because we had no idea where our server was the whole time. Although this is an assumption, I felt like as soon as we told him we weren't interested in purchasing alcoholic beverages with our brunch we were completely ignored. I get everyone has a bad day, but this was a horrible experience and I will hesitate to come here again.

Good location, service was attentive and a cool ambiance is what my star is based on. Chef's Biscuit Board is an appetizer worth passing. Biscuits aren't nothing special and were tight and cold. The orange butter was served cold and hard with very faint taste of citrus. The blueberry jam and small droplet of honey served also has no memorable features to it. This should have been free honestly. Chicken and Waffles was cold at arrival. Upon tasting the second new chicken which was freshly cooked (not sure if the other one was an older order), the chicken was way too salty. I see why they serve the maple chicken jus, which is a mix of syrup and gravy, which had a weird taste of savory molasses to hide the saltiness of the chicken. Shrimp and Smoked Gouda Cheese Grits was undercooked and grainy but def not creamy. Tasted like a pepper steak gravy dish but with shrimp and grits. This place was one big gravy boat that I wished to avoid after Thanksgiving.

Garlic roasted oysters are delicious!!! Fried goat cheese, steak salad lox on toast deviled eggs all are delicious!! Staff was friendly courteous and helpful with such a large group. It was at least 25 of us and we were there for roughly 3hrs before venturing down the block to Palette 22 Would definitely venture here again to check it out

Went to Copperwood last week and ordered the Ribeye steak. It was cooked perfectly to medium rare without issues and the mushrooms was equally delicious. Service was prompt and checked with my table several times. I do enjoy the wooden interior look of Copperwood Tavern, certainly brings a nice ambiance to the restaurant.

I've been in search of fried goat cheese similar to the likings of a restaurant on the west coast. I tried Copperwood Tavern's fried goat cheese for the first time, and not only did my mouth explode but my mind was blown. Crisp on the outside, warm and soft on the inside. So insanely good! Just a fair warning, the delivery feature on their website doesn't work. I learned that the hard way. They recommend ordering via third party apps, however, unfortunately, the restaurant is never active on those sites.

Very nice restaurant- the food was great and very flavorful! Very big servings- the mushrooms were fantastic. I would not recommend taking small children to this restaurant- they do have options for kids meals but not what kids may be used to.

First time here and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and it's some of the best I've ever had. I also ordered an orange shebert mimosa and it was absolutely delicious! I like how they bring popcorn to the table as it's very different than other restaurants. The ambiance is very rustic inside which gives off a very homey barn feeling with the farm to table. Overall very delicious!

This was a nice restaurant, esthetically. The food however was subpar. Everything looked really nice. (Forgot to take a pic) but daughter definitely loved it more than I did. Which is why she proceeded to move to my plate, after her pasta, And eat all of my salmon. Personally, it lacked flavor for me. But apparently it was amazing to my kid, So I'm giving a 4. happy baby happy mama :)

The steak omelette was decent and the breakfast potatoes were great. Honestly the highlight of the plate. We also started with pancake bites and biscuit board which were both yummy. Friends got Steak and Eggs and the Breakfast Sandwich. Good spot, good location.

I came here for lunch around 11:30am and there was plenty of seating. Service was quick and our server was polite and had great suggestions for us. The restaurants interior looked really cozy and I was glad to see a lot of natural light was able to make it in. They have a huge section dedicated to the bar area, I didn't try any drinks but look forward to trying next time. I settled on the short ribs and Wagyu burger. The short ribs were very tender and had a delicious wine sauce. As for the Wagyu burger, it tasted great even though the temperature came out well done. That being said, I think it was a honest mistake and they did offer to replace it which speaks to the excellent customer service and quality of the food here.

We ate there during lunch and the food was great! We had popcorn as an appetizer that had their signature bbq seasoning on it and it was delicious. We had the Tavern Burger and the Duroc Pork Chop and both were so delicious! Definitely recommend this place!

We were here for drinks and dinner before a show at the Signature Theater. We ended up having a lot as in 3-4 orders each, plus more, of starters, sides, soups, and salads (and drinks), we didn't even order mains. The short ribs starter comes on a small cloud of the pomme puree and crispy onions, it was very tender and flavorful. We especially loved the cornmeal breaded, fried green tomatoes which came with an aioli that was very herb-y and some acidity with lemon, loved it. Then there was the salmon toast which I didn't try but my friends were politely fighting over lol. Same for the venison meatballs. My absolute favorite side was the Brussels sprouts, with bacon and a maple vinaigrette, the best! I'm not ashamed to say I ate a lot of those. The honey glazed carrots with herbed goat were also savory sweet with the great crunch of the carrot. There were a bunch of other things we ordered but I was way too full to try. In between cocktails, I had the Apple Crisp juice, which was super refreshing with a dried Granny Smith apple slice, loved it but order it with lite ice as it did get a bit watered down. I wished we had more time as I really wanted to try the limoncello white chocolate cake, hopefully the next time I'm back in town. I'll readily admit, we were a loud group so that added to the 'liveliness' of the ambiance. Our server was very patient with us and attentive. Thanks for that! The restaurant is super dog friendly (as are many on this street in Arlington), with lots of outdoor tables, bowls of water, and space to lay-about. So many cute furry friends about!

Haven't been back in a long time. Came back with my family recently for dinner and was pleasantly surprised on the food. Service was lacking although our server was friendly, often went missing. Other servers were more attentive to us than our own. Hostesses in the front were very kind and interactive. - baked Brie 10/10 love this so much - mussels 9/10 - French onion 8/10 - Caesar salad - you can't mess up on this - seafood linguine - 10/10 love the garlic flavor and the cook on it - pork chop - 10/10 very flavorful and tasty. Cook on it was fantastic. We were all pleasant surprised! - ribeye sub - 8/10 We will be back

We thought the beers were nasty and we love beer. The Stout, Wheat and Pils weren't good. Service on the other hand was on-point. Water and menus were delivered asap with popcorn to follow. Sadly, the corn was the highlight for us. Big bar. Awesome bar size and menu looked good.
