I would definately make a special trip for this one, it will not dissapoint.

It was always one of my favorite stops in Olean when it was Rafi's Platter. The owners were always so nice and the food was always fabulous and I was excited to see that none of that had changed. The menu isn't as extensive as it used to be but the food was all delicious and made fresh to order by Aamir. I had that tikka masala with chicken, our friend had the chicken curry and my husband had the French onion soup with a burger and fries. Every item came out made fresh and each item was more delicious than the next.​ ​ Aamir added to the experience with his wonderful sense of humor and fantastic concern about customer service. We not only thoroughly enjoyed the food but his company as well and had many laughs and he took a photo of us and called us new friends. You rarely see this kind of interaction with owners who really care about their restaurant and their patrons happiness. We will definitely be back as well as recommend this gem of a restaurant to any of our friends who enjoy having something different and having it done well. VERY well done. Kudos to Rafi's Kitchen!

However, I chose the cheese nachos with the new cook, forgot to put salsa and sour cream on them. The establishment is a bit different for most restaurants as you must go to the counter to place your order and go sit down and wait.

Perhaps if you get here early during the day, you won't run into some of these issues that I had.

We made a special trip to Cuba and choose the Kopper Keg as our place to eat after reviewing all…read morethe options listed on Yelp/Google. I was hoping for a family owned dinner experience. The overall experience was underwhelming for the price (but that's understandable for the issues in the country atm). Because it was a special occasion and it happened to be friday, I treated myself to the fish fry (I usually avoid it since my husband hates the smell of seafood). It was an impressively sized piece of fish with a teensy cup of tartar sauce. It was then that I realized I hadn't asked if they used sweet or dill pickles in their sauce. I tasted it, it was sweet (ugh!), so I asked for some malt vinegar to try and substitute flavor. I really tried to eat and enjoy my meal, I used the vinegar, as much as I could squeeze out of the lemon and eventually a sprinkle of salt to give it some vibrancy. The problem was, without a good sauce, I couldn't get over how unpleasant the batter was and how flavorless the fish was (plus the inner layer of the batter was also unpleasant mushy). Eventually (about four bites in, the piece of fish is still larger than my plate), my husband remarks that there is no reason for me to force myself to choke down what I found truly disgusting. I relent and give the waitress my plate, explaining I just can't eat it and I don't have an appetite now for any replacement so I'll just wait for everyone else to finish. All of that wasn't even the main issue. After we get our check, I see a $11.Something charge I didnt understand. I ask for clarification by the older lady running checkout. It turns out it wasn't "$11" but a poorly written "4" that was the addon for my daughter's fries. (Wasn't aware that a $12 sandwich didn't come with fries for less than almost $5 but, I guess that's our bad for not checking the menu when the waitress asked if she wanted fries with it...fries that were just previously frozen blah things with no seasoning that my daughter didn't even eat, but again, that's a cost of going out I guess?) Finally, I gently bring up asking about some sort of discount off my $15+ meal as I could not eat the entree. I never asked for it to be comped, I opened with a suggestion of a discount because I had eaten the side of fruit and mashed potatoes. The lady acted as if I was insulting her and/or trying to score a free meal. She explained how it wasn't their fault if I didn't like the taste of their tartar sauce. I was confused and flabbergasted for a moment. Admittedly, I didn't point out how I had struggled to attempt to eat the fish despite the tartar sauce issue and still couldn't stomach it. I doubt it would have mattered, she likely would have said it was my fault because it wouldn't be the resturant's problem I physically couldn't choke down their nasty breading. I was so upset that my rare treat had turned out this way and put a rain cloud over the rest of my day in Cuba. Because I have neurological problems and issues with confrontation, I couldn't think clearly or argue after essentially being told it wasn't the resturant's responsibility that I was "too picky". So I just asked my husband to pay quickly and hurried out before I started to cry in the resturant. I suppose this could be my fault for not fully explaining how disgusting I found their food, but I thought that would be impolite feedback surrounded by customers. The tartar sauce (which the 1/3 of a shotglass size of dip wouldn't have even been appropriate for the size of fish even if it hadn't been sweet pickles) seemed a more polite excuse than saying their breading and fish was physically inedible. I didn't try to have it replaced or cause a scene, yet I still feel like I was being treated like I was trying to "get one over" on them. The salted caramel milkshake was very tasty tho?

It's more of a cozy friendly dive bar without a nice view like halfway inn, but the halfway in wings, fries, and staff don't hold a candle to 3rd base!

The place is dated, but very clean, fast, super welcoming, exceptional at what they do, a well oiled machine, and delicious! My mouth is watering and I can smell the wings and Cajun fries vividly in my memory while I write this. I'm kicking myself for driving by without trying them for forever. I'm addicted now!
