Nice bar selection. Very clean. Fast kitchen. Hangout for locals. Great food aside from the beef soup, but expensive. They overcharged me A LOT by not billing me for the Cajun alfredo SPECIAL. The bill was too high, but we didn't notice until we left that I was overcharged for my special and upcharged for my mediocre soup. I added a lot of salt and pepper to eat it. Amazing pasta dishes though. Tender seafood and chicken. Go over your bill BEFORE you leave!

Went there on a busy Friday night. I had not been to this restaurant in almost 30 years…read more Unfortunately there was a long wait for a table so we decided to stay in the bar and grab a drink. As Luck would have it that we ended up sitting at the bar and meeting great folks on either side of us. I had the Pittsburgh salad pictured and my wife had a simple house salad with chicken. Both were huge. The food was great. The camaraderie was great and the music, alive singer was, great as well not too loud, but definitely able to hear the music. The next time we're here we will definitely sit in the bar again and look forward to great conversations with locals on either side of us. Pete, the bartender, was very attendive to us and, our food arrived extremely fast. Definitely recommend this place as a more upscale restaurant in the Cuba/Olean/Houghton area

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?

We ordered received appetizer at 6:15. Did not see any more food from that point out. They said kitchen closes at 8:00 and was still waiting on food at 7:50. No follow up, people receiving food before us and were seated before them. Same food ordered. Wanted food to go but no follow up. Just plain rude, horrific service and the atmosphere was ridiculous.
