Copper Penny Family Restaurant

I stopped here on my way out of town early on a Saturday morning because I wanted to start my day with a good old American breakfast. The place is in a strip mall and nothing fancy and actually a dive with cheap looking cafeteria tables and chairs and ugly blue booths along the wall. The place was mostly empty just after 6am so service was good. In front was a pay phone booth that you don't see anymore but it didn't work.The menu has all the breakfast favorites and even though you can't just about ever get a real country fried steak anymore I ordered the country fried steak breakfast plate because it's still a favorite of mine. The massive table fixings were nice to see since C19 wiped them out for years. My food came quickly and looked ok with mangled three eggs mess but the yokes weren't broken only the whites. The toast was all generic and nothing exciting like Texas or sourdough so white would be my choice. The eggs were cooked perfect sunny side up. The hash browns were good with the added onions. The non homemade country steak was as good as restaurant food service companies offer and ok with the average country gravy on top.Overall it was your average restaurant breakfast and I know what I'm getting with the frozen country steak but I still crave it for breakfast so I'm going to stick with 4 stars because it wasn't horrible and it hit the spot for the start of a road trip early morning breakfast.

I joined my family for a fish fry at Copper Penny a few weeks ago and had a nice experience. It's not a fancy place by any stretch of the imagination, but I think the proprietors have done a decent job of sprucing the place up and make it an inviting place to dine. Anyway! I ordered the cod fish fry which came with a soup or salad. I opted in for the poor man's clam chowder, which was a cream-based soup with nice chunks of fish and potato. It was quite nice! The fish fry itself came with 3 pieces of fish, choice of potato (I got the potato pancakes with side of applesauce), coleslaw, tartar sauce, and rye bread. Fish was a tad soggy but nothing to cry about. Accompaniments were also really good! At the end, they give you a choice of dessert that comes free with your meal. I chose butter pecan ice cream from a list that included tapioca pudding, spumoni, vanilla, etc. Yum. The best part? The price! You get an incredibly good value for the quantity and overall nice quality of food you receive. Final thought. This has nothing to do with the restaurant, but I will warn that if you are a POC, be prepared to be gawked at by the clientele. There's a specific type of person that likes to dine here, and it's the sort that love to stare at you and roll their eyes if you try and speak in your native language. You've been warned. Should you go? Hey, why not!

The Copper Penny has been a "go to" place for a decent breakfast for ages. We've eaten here many times and never been disappointed. It gets very busy early on the weekends. The staff is attentive and service is good. If your looking for a good breakfast for a fair price, stop in.

They dont follow any sanitary guidelines.they clean tables with dirty rags no sanitizer is used they refuse to sit people 6 ft apart. Condimens are left out on tables and not sanitized between customers. I won't be coming back it makes me uncomfortable if they don't keep the front of the house clean they probably don't keep the back where the food is sanitary

the food and staff are excellent we always feel like 1 big family when eating there. my 11 year old loves the French toast. my wife has there chef salad and loves it. I really in joy there omelettes , biscuits, and gravy, pork chop, and eggs.

Service is great, food not so great. Several times now we've gotten cold breakfasts and it doesn't seem to matter if place is busy or not.

You might miss this place if you are driving by, but please don't ! It is well worth stopping in. Delicious food and generous portions. The place was full of local folks having breakfast and lunch. Friendly staff too. Stop in. You won't be sorry and you will leave full and satisfied..

Service was bad. Word to the wise. If your just one person, expect poorer service. Bigger tips the more. People at the table. 30 minutes to get my order. Had to go to the front to get my bill. I will say this, it would have been a 5 star rating had I not had such a bad experience waiting to give my order, then wait another 30 minutes for the food. I ordered the Rueben sandwich. Probably the best Rueben iv had in a long time. Highly recommend it. My waitress was more interested in chatting with customers than doing her job. Still, I'd go back for the Rueben.

Excellent food and service We have a groom 10 that stops in for breakfast and has been very satisfied with food and service We check out local restaurants and enjoy coming here. It is nothing fancy but it's clean and the food is plentiful
