Nailed it! Everything we experienced was perfect from reception to end of meal!!! Rockfish, perfectly cooked risotto, original take on Fried pickles and fries, hand breaded tender chicken tenders for my kid, loved the calamari with house made sauce and banana peppers. We will return often, no doubt. read more

Went for lunch with friends. I asked for no pickles on my burger. My friend asked if she could have my pickles on her burger. Server said no problem. Then the bill came. My friend was charged for my extra pickles! What a joke. Expensive to begin with then they nickel and dime you? Never going back! read more

The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! 5 *'s on the food - never disappoints. The service - yikes! We did not get the cocktail menu upon arriving, and the waitress said she'd grab one. After 10 minutes we asked again. We ordered 2 beers, 2 sweet teas, an appetizer and a kids meal. The beer came, then the kids meal, and 5 minutes later the sweet teas. When our appetizer arrived it was incorrect...but since we'd already waited 15 minutes ate it. Our dinners (another 20 minutes) finally came - and were delicious. A relief since they'd been sitting on the pass for a while. Food was epic! The chaos of the server, not so much. I would not recommend taking kids there, the wait for all the food is too long, even though we asked for everything to come out at once. We will be doing takeout from now on. Note: we've been there many times, and service is almost always an issue. read more

It was a little tricky finding the location, but once we did, we enjoyed our brunch! There were lots of options and we were satisfied with them all- very flavorful and delicious. The vibe inside was nice and chill, good music and atmosphere. Staff was friendly, but a little slow- especially considering how little people were there. read more

The food was delicious! We got the pickle fries (which were AMAZING) for a starter, and my husband got the Roast Beef Sammy and I got the Nashville Chicken Sandwich. The chicken was juicy and the French fries were out of this world! read more

I have been to Coopers Tavern on the many occasions I visit family around the Richmond area. I've had various plates fork the fish and chips, hamburger, breakfast and this time the Filet mignon . The steak was well cooked and was tender with an almost melt in your mouth texture . The mashed potatoes were well made and were full of flavor . The Demi glaze was good final touch on the steak and pushed the flavor to another level. I'd continue to recommend Coopers Tavern to whoever would look to try it. read more

Cooper's Tavern & Taproom - Filet - Bars Near Me - Quinton, Virginia

Pick this place because it was a halfway point meeting up with a friend, and was pleasantly surprised. Appetizer: chicken wings 5Stars Entrèe: Fish & Chips 5Stars Waitress: Taylor 5Stars If you're traveling on the 64 headed east or west, definitely stop in Quinton. It's about 35 minutes from Williamsburg and I'll definitely be back The only negative about this place is signage but that could be a City thing. I would also change the water glasses from shot size to a much larger glass. read more

Cooper's Tavern is kind of a hidden gem in Quinton right off of Route 60 and the 64 exit at Bottoms Bridge. Great draft beer selection, nice big bar, excellent food. We've been here a number of times and the food we've had is consistently excellent. Steaks, salads, fish and chips, tacos, and the meatball appetizer are all good pics. Try the house burger which I think is called the McDoogal burger - a gourmet take on the Big Mac. Delicious! Friendly people in here, all around great vibe. read more

After a couple hours at the winery nearby, I zoomed in on Google maps to see which eateries were close by on the way back to Richmond. Cooper's Tavern was right around the corner, so I directed us there. It's definitely an interesting building. You wouldn't expect a restaurant to be there, let alone a "tavern." They do have a big "come grub" sign adjacent to the parking lot so you have some idea that you're in the right place. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server came over for our drinks. I ordered a riesling, which I realized I didn't necessarily need after coming from a winery, but it was good nonetheless. We started with the pickle fries, which were delivered in maybe two minutes flat. They're definitely of the frozen variety, but they were tasty regardless. I ordered the steak sandwich but modified it pretty substantially so that it was just cheese and mayo on it, instead of mustard, because that seemed like an odd combo. The flavor was good, but the steak was super chewy. I tried to warm up the other half the next day and couldn't chew it at all. The fries that came with it were good, as was the caesar salad I ordered as well. I also heard great things about the fish and chips, which are apparently a popular item there, according to our friendly and prompt server. The price was reasonable for the amount of food we ordered. I don't really foresee myself in the Quinton area often, but I'd recommend this spot as a viable option for a meal. read more

I came here the first time in 2024 and ordered the scallop entree for 39 Dollars, there were 3 small scallops... literally the smallest scallops you could possibly get at your local Food Lion! So a year later I say you know what let's give them another shot. I said let's go with a Ribeye, you can't mess up a Ribeye... But oh can they! These price gouging people take the "Caps" and "Tail" off the ribeyes (Caps are the top piece of the ribeye that is the most tender and delicious pos part of a Ribeye). This place is a great place to go to get an expensive beer and horrible service, but don't order the food! read more

Excellent food & service ! What a nice surprise No name on the building, easy to miss. If we are in the area again we will come back! read more

The fries alone are worth the trip! Great atmosphere and service and is easy to get to

very slow service. they take ages just to bring out beers and even that isn't chilled. got appetizers and no silverware. I had to go get it myself. each time we order something they go missing for 20 minutes. not coming back! read more

Came here for lunch with my family and we were very happy with everything we ordered. We will definitely come back.

This place is definitely off the beaten track. They don't have a sign outside the building. Trendy, with exposed brick, wood tables, and stoneware plates. Food came out super-fast and hot. Food was surprisingly tasty. Unpretentious, simple, but cooked well. read more

We had the MacDoogle burger and the fish and chips. Both were delicious and perfectly prepared. The fries were also delicious. The service was good and we liked the atmosphere. read more

This hidden gem was absolutely amazing. Food is all fresh and drinks are craft cocktails. We found it randomly and so glad we did. We will be back read more

I thought the food had great flavor. I ordered the tomahawk steak and it was cooked just right, it just had too much fat attached. Check them out! read more

Service was good. We went there on a Friday night, so it was pretty packed. Of course, we had to wait about 40 minutes for our food to arrive, but since it was busy, I didn't mind. They're on the pricier side, in my opinion, and didn't have much on the menu to choose from. But once the food came out, it tasted delicious! read more

Food was excellent!! Service was amazing also !! Molly did great as a server and will now be back for brunch on Saturday!! Thanks to Tina for greeting us with open arms!! Appetizers where great too ! Had the lemon cake and tower for dessert nothing disappointed! Thanks to all that made our trip from Ohio heading to OBX ! Great start to the week ahead! read more

First visit to Coopers Tavern and Taphouse. When I couldn't decide between 2 entrees I went with the Rockfish and Risotto with Asparagus at the waitresses suggestion. It was AMAZING! The fish was perfectly cooked, the risotto was creamy and buttery, the asparagus was lightly cooked to perfection. My husband really enjoyed his filet as well. The presentation and plating is nicely done. The Kale and Artichoke dip appetizer was really good as well. We will be back for more! It's super close off the interstate in an area where they aren't many places to eat and nowhere else with this level of quality and upscale dining. read more

Loved the fish and chips. They were fabulous. I even liked the fry's that came with them. Quote left over as well. Spouse got the hamburger. It was two hamburgers on the bun. Also very good. Our server was wonderful. The place is wheelchair accessible. Very easy in and out. Oh dessert. We got the chocolate desserts. It was Hugh. read more

Can't wait to go back! Enjoyed Brussels and artichoke dip for starters. Got crab cake sandwich, so much flavor! Lovely environment. Local feel. read more

I seldom write reviews, however... I ordered the Buffalo cauliflower (my wife chose it) and I found myself cleaning the plate with my finger. I then had the farro bowl with braised pork. And again the dish is amazing. I will come back to try the rest of the menu read more

Been eating here for 3 years enjoying the service, various menu items (from burgers and wings to tacos and seafood), the clean, contemporary atmosphere. We've never been disappointed. read more

Wife and I like to go here every time we visit New Kent. The restaurant is comfortable and has a cozy atmosphere. Their dinner meals are always excellent. Mixed drinks can be hit or miss depending on who is behind the bar, and the service can be slow (but that's not the staff's fault, it's generally because they are full or understaffed). The food always makes it worth it though. read more

I have been to this restaurant a handful of times but the last two times I had the same waiter--JOSHUA!! He is hands down the BEST waiter I have ever had! The food is good and it was packed for mother's day but he was ON IT! He puts his heart and soul into it and is very enthusiastic and friendly. We will definitely go back to see him! read more

For starters- if I wasn't meeting family here for dinner, then I would have never known it was back where it's located. I didn't see any signs for the place, but I quickly learned they don't need advertising as the place filled up. We had a rather large part of 8. Everything was SOOOO superb! Our waitress came and got our drink orders, which everyone loved their cocktails. We ordered the cauliflower appetizer and calamari and both were out of this world. We had a few questions about the menu and our waitress walked us through which made up our minds. I went with the rockfish with risotto (best I've ever had) and asparagus and it was fantastic. Others had shrimp tacos n fish and chips, which they enjoyed! At no time during our visit were we without drinks nor did we have a long wait for food. Our visit to Coopers tavern was a first for me, but not my last! It was a 5 out of 5 and still has us talking a week later! Not one complaint and this place is a true hidden gem! read more

Dining in on Saturday night around 6, was not crowded but a little busier by the time we left. Service and ambiance was good. Shrimp tacos were too salty and drowning in aioli with watery cabbage. Served with rice and beans which were too hot (temperature). Also, the plates they were served on were broken (not just chipped) on the edges. This is a little disconcerting as there could be pieces of pottery in the food. We have been here before (9 months ago) and it was a better experience then. read more

This is going to take a few points. (5 stars for food) 1. Food, Menu and decor : the food was great!! I felt like I was transported out of new Kent into down town Richmond But we had a place to park. It was a Win all the way around. Burger was great. Crab cake was great. Oh and the meatballs too. Yummy. 2.Service: (-2 Stars for service) We were seated right away and were given a QRC code to order our food and so we started then a server came by to take our order. Confused as we were. Tip: have host explain a little. Maybe even some kind of personal engagement. More the welcome, how many, follow me. Enjoy. There were more bumps on the road for us here. I just deleted the book about how odd and/or non existent the service was. I really don't think it was all the server. I just think the server got way over their head. Fast and now about 20 ppl had a not so great experience. To large table with the issues and us. The managers need to be more involved in the wait staff. They are always gone trying to fix something wrong with another table. Both large top tables beside us out side had issues with the bill/split check. I understand what it's like to use a new system. But it's back to the training board. My server has our check and credit card now but The server is now explaining the beer menu and taking an order to another customer. As we continue to wait as I'm typing this article. The general consensus is. With such an amazing location, parking, and menu. I really hope it comes together. I don't know if they need the tech support or management support. read more

Food is good and the service is good. The place sticks out in an area where the only options are fast food.

This place is a great restaurant to go to. People just want to hate to hate ngl. Been here multiple times with my father breakfast and lunch options are great. read more

Another great meal at Cooper's Tavern! Andrea M took very good care of us! Happy Mother's Day (a day early)!

Sat at bar. Drink was given a straw by the serve with her finger on the top of straw. No thank you. Ordered chicken salad with chicken and blue cheese dressing. Chicken was not seasoned dressing was hot from large heating lamps. Dressing is from a bottle no actually blue cheese. read more

Great food and bar staff. The servers are wonderful and patio is dog friendly. Nice ambience in its more upscale than the normal in this area but non pretentious. A little something for all on the menu ! read more

Overall not bad. The atmosphere is very modern but a little loud. The booths could use some Cushioning. Fried pickle appetizer was great. The breading actually stayed on the pickle. My husband got a house salad which was very good and I got the wedge which was huge (almost too big). It was basically almost a whole head of lettuce. Pretty sure the blue cheese dressing was bottle or if not, tasted suspiciously like bottled. Not that I'm against bottles dressing but this seemed like a place that would make their own and they could probably benefit from it. Husband got fish and chips which at first was disappointing as it was just fried breading and no fish inside. It was also burnt. My daughter got the same and she got a huge, thick piece of fish which was perfectly fried. My husband told the waitress and she at first seemed like she didn't care and then she suggested bringing him another piece which my husband was fine with. The second piece was very nice but had a lot of Oil in it still. Suggestion: have someone checking orders before they go out as that first piece of fish was clearly sub-par. I got shrimp and grits. Shrimp cooked great. Grits creamy with chorizo sausage which added a lot of heat. Overall pretty good but a little salty. They didn't have cocktail sauce for the fish which I found weird as they have a lot of seafood on their menu. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed and almost as if she was in distress. We didn't have to wait long for our food and it came out hot so no complaints there. If this place can get through its growing pains and get more consistent with the quality of the food they'll do fine. read more

Not our usual experience here. We went in wanting the cowboy ribeye. While we were seated promptly, we sat and waited. We finally decided to get up and leave. They were not busy at all. I guess we will be back, just not tonight. read more
