Copper Penny Grill- Rutherfordton

This place was walking distance of where we stayed in town. Lunch special today was fried shrimp tacos with cilantro lime sauce. They were fantastic! My husband enjoyed his burger although cooked a bit more than medium. The fries are perfection, crispy and flavorful. We'll be back for sure.

Food was good and service was really good. We came in very late (long day) and expected that the employees would be trying to close up and not too happy about us coming in. Instead, we were greeted with a smile, really good service, nice portions / good food and boy did we need it ... we were so tired!

Great service as always the menu has good choices. The prime rib sandwich is a must try. Add blue cheese crumbles and you will not be disappointed.

The wife and I stopped here after the Food, Art and Brew Festival and were glad we did! They are dog friendly, we had our chihuahua in her stroller with us, and accommodating her with a pup cup of water. I had the black and bleu ribeye, baked potato and broccoli and the wife had the French dip and fries. The ribeye was so delicious, cooked the rare that I asked, flavorful and very well seasoned. The baked potato was baked completely and filled with butter and sour cream and somebody in the kitchen actually cut the broccoli fresh instead of dumping broccoli pieces and stems from a bag. The wife loved her sandwich. The sweet tea is that syrupy southern sweet tea that we can't find up here in Cincinnati and they kept my cup full and my wife enjoyed the two local beers she had. So glad we stumbled into the joint and recommend you do the same!

We only stopped in for a quick drink and a small bite while we were exploring the town. Beer selection was on point and the nachos were had were awesome. We would love to return in the future.

Was overnight in the area, getting ready to work with Scouts at Camp Bud Schiele. Needed to have dinner and the Holiday Inn Express recommended. Sure am glad I came.A huge building, ware house like, massive parking lot full of cars. Made me wonder if I was in the right place and if I had made the right choice. I got them both right.Inside is pretty plain. Tables and booths are all over in this very large, jam-packed eatery. I sat at the bar. Nicest people on both sides of me and Chris G. was the bartender and she took good care of me.Ordered a Manhattan ($6) and settled on a ribeye steak ($18.99), potato salad and salad with ranch. I mention the salad dressing since I had to pay $1 for the ranch dressing. I thought that pretty high price, especially at a local bar, so my expectations were low as I waited.The steak came and it was perfectly done to my order. Surprised, I cut into the meat and nearly staggered off of my chair. It was wonderful! Tender and very tasty...like a good steak should be.There was nothing left on my plate, which I nearly licked clean along with a second Manhattan.All the while there was continual dialogue with my bar mates and bar tender. Very friendly and left full, happy and pleased.Excellent place for families. My guess is that you will need reservations, esp on weekends.

CPG has a menu with many excellent choices. From the variety of delicious soups, salads (The Rutherford is a personal favorite), excellent pasta dishes, sandwiches and burgers coupled with delicious sweet potato fries, many more options. With the exception of one server, of all the meals we have had, the servers were pleasant and quick to make a recommendation when asked. The ambiance is casual, making everyone comfortable including your four legged fur~babies who are welcomed in the outdoor dining area. If you have not been to the CPG in Rutherfordton, give it a try !

whoever makes the sweet tea needs a raise ! The burger of the month was delicious and jessica was very attentive.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. We will definitely come back. There are several items we want to try.

I wish I could give CP Zero stars.I ordered a medium rare filet mignot. It came out well done.I just took it home to the dog!Copper Penny ruined my evening and for my trouble they gave me $5 on a $40 meal. How nice of CP!This is the third time they overcooked too. I don't think I'll be back.
