    Nashville Hot Bloody Mary
    Sarah G.

    We visited there today for the first time, on Easter of all days. We got there early, with no reservations, but they accommodated us (which there was only 3) to a table in the bar area. We just sat at the bar for about 10 min which was completely fine. The bartender was super nice, and the Strawberry Mango Bellini rocked! We got to the table and our server was very attentive for as busy as it got. I unfortunately cannot remember his name, but he made great recommendations and knew the menu well. The food was great, absolutely no complaints. Looooved my pancakes....omg to die for! The atmosphere is a clean, chill vibe. With quite a few T.V.s as well. I cannot believe it's taken so long for us to go there. We will definitely be back.

    Busy lunch service but still got us in and the food was out of this world!! NEVER had a bad meal here....EVER! The waitstaff was so accommodating and makes you feel better than being at home. (Especially Grace....shes amazing.).

    It's been a minute since I've been to this hidden gem. No like literally, you could drive right past Copper Boar and never see it. Or if you did see it, not know how to access it. It's off Penn, but still hard to see. But if you know what you're look for-- the location is convenient, easy access from 965 or the interstate. The patio is amazing with tons of greenery, shade and event a tv outside to watch the big game. We were seated there right away. There's a lot of seating! My biggest knock is the service was SO slow. Like, two hours slow. But the waitstaff we encountered were kind, diligent and knowledgable. I'm chalking it up to a short staffed kitchen. EVERYTHING on the brunch menu looked, sounded and was sublime. I had the Hot Nashville Chicken and Waffles. SO good. The pickles were a nice touch, I loved the hot with the sweet maple syrup in each bite. $1 mimosas with the purchase of an entree was a nice touch. Everyone in my group enjoyed their menu and devoured what they could-- but some portion sizes were large! To-go boxes it was. Parking is a non issue. It has a party room. Pricing is on point. If you're in NL-- try to look up Copper Boar!

    A large open dining room that was super clean. Lots of large tables for groups, Tvs well placed around the room. The food was amazing. Tender prime rib piled high and the fries were perfect crispy and delicious. The pork was really good. My lunch partner could not stop raving about it. Light breading and a mustard that was described as the cool whip of mustard. The service was good. Attentive but not annoying. Highly recommend.

    Wings and delicious salad

    Lunch time on a Monday bebopping down 218 to Clear Lake for Buddy Holly Memorial Concert... hungry? Yep! Easy to find.. excellent! Seated as walked in door.. good items on menu.. we each had bone in wings with a fabulous salad for $12.95.. see picture..we ordered a personal pizza to go for later $10 ( Monday special).. wait staff were a 10.. 2 surprises.. the meal came with a small grilled veggie kabob and the other a connivance fee on ticket .. Don't pass by this delicious stop!

    We really enjoy eating at Copper Boar. We were greeted and seated quickly. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. There were a lot of people dining tonight, but the restaurant atmosphere was not loud. This is really a great date night restaurant. We really enjoy eating at Copper Boar.

    Came back for brunch and it was awesome! $1 mimosas! Eggs were perfectly OM and the potatoes were the best I've had in Iowa! Service was great and the background music was quiet and not overbearing

    hair is in the eggs

    terrible service took over an hour for our food waiters were super rude and the chicken was undercooked and there was hair in the eggs

    Pork tenderloin.

    Wanted to update my review to 5 stars. I've really been enjoying everything I order from Copper Boar and another visit to the weekend brunch with family had us all singing this eatery's praises. I love the multiple specials they have each week, giving us a chance to try something delicious that is not usually on the menu. They might even have my new favorite burger in town (try one for $10 on Mondays). Keep up the good work Copper Boar!

    We came here for a date night and had a great experience! We sat outside by the fire which was amazing. The service was great and not overbearing. We ordered the buratta appetizer and it was incredible. Then we split the mushroom Swiss burger which was seriously the best burger I've ever had. Highly recommend....especially during happy hour!

    Breakfast pizza without onions/peppers

    We went there for brunch, I had the breakfast pizza which was amazing! Detroit style with a crunchy, slightly caramelized crust - best breakfast pizza I've had in a long time. We will definitely be back to try other items! And the service was top notch!

In fact, this restaurant holds a special place in my wife and I's hearts as it was the location of our first date. During our most recent visit to Tin Roost, we ordered the pork tenderloin with broccoli (7.9/10) and a burger with fries (7.5/10)! We also ordered one of a few ciders that Tin Roost was offering on tap. Honestly, the food is pretty middle of the pack. The star of the show was surprisingly the roasted broccoli side. The service and ambiance was stellar during our visit. There are tons of seating options from bar side, high tops, booths, tables, and a big patio. Would highly recommend giving Tin Roost a try if you've never been!

We got the double smash burger and added an egg - it was amazing. Seriously a great burger (would probably get without egg in the future). We also got the tater tot skillet, which was also good. We also got a burrito (not pictured) it comes drenched in queso and is kind of hard to eat, in the future will probably ask for the queso on the side. Portions are large. I am always a bit shocked at the price at the end of the meal, it is pretty expensive. I also don't like that you never get to see your itemized bill, the server uses the mobile payment machines and all you see is the overall total on the screen. Besides the cost, the food is good and there are lots of large table options for friend groups. There is also a lot of parking onsite.

I knew it was a longstanding community event, but didn't realize the scope of production that goes into it. The stage is MASSIVE and they had some really cool artists performing throughout the day. There was plenty of room to set up a blanket or chair, sip your beer, and enjoy the music. (It did start to fill up quickly in anticipation of the last two acts, so grab your spot early!) There were stations with fans blowing cool mists, free ice water tanks, and a few places to get out of the sun. The Blues & BBQ sign is a great photo opp. In addition to the beer tent by the stage, there were about ten vendors or so offering a variety of sips and bites. A little something for everyone, including multiple bbq options, tacos, shaved ice, and ice cream. I know the beer tent is a big factor in keeping this free, so it would be great if there was more than one non-alch option (and ideally root beer wouldn't be the same price as a beer - say $4 or $5 instead of $7). All in all, really great community event. I heard a rumor the park is being renovated to add shade and other amenities, so next year there will not be a festival. I'm sure it'll come back bigger and better than ever!

All musical acts were awesome and were so fun to listen to in front of the stage or out about the park. Inflatables and other park equipment for kids to climb and a good amount of shaded seating for everyone to enjoy. The food truck options keep growing so anyone can find something they like. I like to go sometime earlier in the day and then come back later to hear the final show, all while trying some good brisket or pulled pork.

It was my first time going there, so I browsed the menu and ordered a chicken bacon melt. After 30 minutes of waiting I finally asked the bartender to just close me out after a couple beers. The woman bartender had her stomach out all over the bar surfaces and there was clearly some tension going on with the staff. Even if the food did come out I'm pretty confident it wouldn't have been good. Will not be going back when there are far better options in North Liberty.
