Whole Key Lime Pie
Tonja H.

Alyssa Y. was wonderful! She asked if there were allergies and not just because as I ordered things that didn't have it listed on the menu to what I was allergic to but she asked in the kitchen and bar area! For that she gets 5 stars! I can't tell you how many places I've been and yet they ask but not follow through! The good was great, the service was even better! I couldn't eat my salad as it was HUGE! Sitting by the water was great! Definitely would return! Hopefully the next waitress is just as great but I doubt she/he would be better!

Coconut Shrimp Roll
Claire B.

We came for Sunday lunch and had the Ahi Tuna Tacos appetizer (3), Grilled Rainbow Trout, and Coconut Shrimp Roll. The tuna tacos were nice in a small crunchy shell with a slice of avocado and a spicy mayo, but not too hot. The coconut shrimp roll was good. I was pleasantly surprised how good light, fresh tasting, and non-fishy the Rainbow Trout was. It came in a light, white cream sauce with spinach and mashed potatoes. Maria, our server, took great care of us. I had thought it would be crowded and noisy on a Sunday afternoon, but we could hear each other and it was not too crowded.

One of the best prime ribs out there!  Great green beans & mashed potatoes for sides
Leigh D.

Representing 2019 in DMV runner-up in alphabet series, C is for Copper Canyon Grill. I had been to the RIO location twice, both in 2019. I first tried at Silver Spring on a date in July 2018. In fact, that was one of the dates where we went to Kung Fu Tea after dinner (see my 3-star review I just wrote of them). I was impressed with that location. So, in March 2019, I was happy my friend had his birthday party there. The same friend who went to BJ's Restaurant in Frederick (my last review I just wrote: see my 3-stars of them) also joined me for a movie & for the birthday party. She swayed me to get Prime Rib. And she was right! One of the best prime ribs out there. Ultimately, she became a girlfriend, and early on in that relationship, she really wanted to go back to Copper Canyon, and after a movie at RIO, we went again. Service was very good, and we enjoyed prime rib again. Prime rib comes with green beans & mashed potatoes, which are great too, but the real star is the prime rib itself. Interestingly, my girlfriend of that time ate the prime rib by herself on Friday, March 13, 2020. She joined me for 1 movie, I joined my friend for 2 movies, & he went to 3 movies on that Friday. He was understandably concerned the movie theaters were shutting down any day for Covid, and he wanted to get his AMC A-List 3 movies in for the week of March 13-19, 2020 and not break his 90+ week streak he had going of always getting his 3 movies in since he joined A-List. My friend & I had dinner at BGR before my 1st movie & his 2nd movie, which went out of business unfortunately, but BGR in Columbia is still there. Like my friend panicking about getting his 3 movies in, my girlfriend was being pragmatic saying I won't be able to have prime rib for a while as restaurants will shutdown for Covid. I was a bit jealous even though BGR was good; let's be honest Copper Canyon prime rib is even better! In December 2025, my girlfriend wanted to try Copper Canyon for her birthday since I had mentioned the place several times (including times I went with my ex). I realized there's one by Arundel Mills, which was great as I didn't want to schlep from my home to Largo, Silver Spring, or Gaithersburg in order of distance, none of which are close to my home today, which is only about 8 miles from Arundel Mills. That new location is my new favorite, but this one is a close 2nd place.

If you looking to do some serious drinking this is the place. I found the menu to be very limited and bland. The ribs were good and those were enjoyed but the rotisserie chicken salad was not great. The burger also lacked taste. When you have to rely on sauces for taste you know that's not a good thing. Service was fine and atmosphere.

Key Lime Pie

The food is always delicious! It's always worth the price. The service sometimes is hit or miss. Some visit the servers are lovely and really engaged and then other times they will come by once and that's it. This visit our server wasn't very warming and came to check on us once. The ribs always come with a warm towel to clean your hands at the end but it was brought out with our plate... which made no sense because by the time we finished the ribs the towels were cold. Previously we have gotten the towels at the end of the meal to clean our hands. The restaurant itself is beautiful and a very nice date night vibe.

I have gone to Copper Canyon Grill for more than 10 years now. I am usually not a big fan of sitting at a restaurant or eating non-Asian cuisines. BUT, this particular restaurant holds a special place in my book because of consistently excellent service and food quality. My whole family has enjoyed coming to Copper Canyon Grill for all kinds of occasions over the years-- birthdays, get together with friends, first dates, family dinner outings just to name a few. The "Stanford" cheeseburger, chicken pot pie, rattlesnake pasta, rotisserie chicken, chocolate uprising, and key lime pies are some of my favorite things I have ordered there over the years. No matter what day of the week we visit, we have always received exceptional service and wonderfully plated food. The servers are exceptionally well trained and observant especially at this location. For example, I once decided to be "adventurous" and ordered something I usually don't -- a meatloaf of all things. I didn't really care for the taste or the texture of it. And the server quickly became aware of me not eating much of it or looking particularly thrilled with it. She approached me and asked me if I wanted to order something else without me even thinking about asking such a thing. It didn't even occur to me to speak up because I figured it's my fault for ordering it. She was just so gracious about it and I felt so grateful. That's was one of many many great examples of why it's great dining at Copper Canyon Grill. I go out to eat a lot, but many places fails to match their keen sense of being observant, anticipating diner needs, and offering to make things great. They will go out of their way to ensure each diners are absolutely satisfied and happy before leaving. The truly incredible thing about it is that they have consistently upheld that standard for more than 10 years!!! And have you seen the menu prices?! It's crazy how reasonably everything is priced compared to all those stuffy snooty buzzy newer restaurants out there!!! Consequently, whenever I return from out of state, one of many places I go out of my way to visit is Copper Canyon Grill. I don't care how little time or out of my way it is to dine there at times. It's worth the visit and I certainly wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone who lives in the vicinity. I promise you wouldn't regret it.

Rainbow Trout
Margy C.

After a fishing trip in Vermont and being told by the guide that I had to throw the rainbow trout back into the water, I really wanted some trout. Lo and behold, Copper Canyon had it on their menu. It was simply lovely. It was satisfying. The red mashed potatoes had a lot of flavor. It's creaminess contained not just potatoes but garlic and onions too. Wonderful service. They allowed us to bring in cupcakes for our friend's birthday. it was very kind of our server to bring extra plates.

Rattlesnake pasta (gross)
Alea V.

I've been here quite a few times over the years and the service has always been good, but the food is hit or miss. The last two times I've gone I've been really disappointed in the quality of the food and honestly was not able to finish my food both times. Some things they do really well, but some of the dishes are just really inedible. I got the rattlesnake pasta my last visit and the mushrooms were completely raw, the chicken had these hard chewy pieces in them, and the pasta was way over cooked. My husband got the pot pie and really enjoyed it and I've had the mac and cheese in the past and enjoyed it. I'll probably come back and just be more careful on what I order, but it's not a place I think about going back to, it's more of just convenience when we're in the area. I really like the new water deck that they have and it's usually quite enough during lunch time to enjoy your meal as long as the meal is cooked well.

Crab dip
Amanda L.

Finally got a chance to try out the new dock on the water. Great ambiance. Crab dip was great, bread needed to be toasted. We ordered a side of tortilla chips, which made for a much better combination. The whole group ordered salads and everyone enjoyed quite a bit. Service was fine!

Menu - back side (4/13/25)

Sunday 4/13/25 Whenever I visit Rio, I always see this spot, but I can't remember ever making a visit. That all changed today as my mom decided to have her 52nd birthday here. She made a reservation for 7:30 pm with me and my brother, and luckily it wasn't necessary as it was relatively light around that time. Our waiter was Brandon, and he provided us with great service, so shoutout to Brandon. Also, there's a nice view of the lake from where we sat, which adds to the ambiance. As a table, we got many different dishes, but the items I had/ tried were the calamari fritti FREE, fiesta egg rolls $17, iron skillet cornbread $10, rattlesnake pasta $23.50, and the bread pudding $14. I also tried a rib from my brother's main dish. - The calamari fritti was alright, and fortunately, my mom was able to get it complimentary (props to the service). - The Fiesta egg rolls were my favorite appetizer. It was decent. - The iron skillet cornbread was fine. - The rattlesnake pasta was my main dish, and I opted to remove the mushrooms for spinach. The dish was okay, but I wasn't impressed. - The bread pudding was alright, but it really could've benefited from the addition of ice cream or even a sauce that was richer & sweeter. - The rib I tried was alright: the ribs are tender, and the sauce is the main flavor you get from it, as you don't taste any seasoning. Overall, the food was alright, the service was good, and the ambiance was nice. I wouldn't see myself coming back for the food options, but elite service like that is always appreciated.

Soup

Recently came here for an overdue date night! It's nicely decorated right now for the holidays and they have 2 nice areas (one located more outside in a separate hall and the other located more inside the restaurant. The chicken here looks really good (chicken pot pie) but I opted for the wooden roasted chicken (a specialty). Overall, food was delicious. Our server was really sweet too. So thoughtful and always swung by to check on us and for refills.

The machine has an ever-changing selection of reds, whites, and rosés to either taste or get a full pour of.

I would be excited to sit outside when the weather is better, though it's just the sidewalk with a bunch of cars going by a busy street. The inside has bar seats, a small lounge area, and a high long table. Did I mention they also sell a bunch of wines, snacks, and more? They have events too, so I will have to check those out.

Shockingly it wasn't too crowded for a Friday so that was great. The ambiance was great as always. They always play good music. Our wine bar waiter was very friendly, and attentive. He was very knowledgeable about all of the wines. I am so glad they brought back the Paloma. We did not do an entire tasting so we only tried 3 wines which were complimentary and then we headed to the bar for happy hour. At happy hour we were greeted by the friendly bar tender. He explained their menu and we chose to order the Bee's Knees for a drink. I tried it with whisky instead of gin which was just as great. For food I ordered the Tempura shrimp and the Oxtail Quesadillas. The flavoring of the tempura shrimp was phenomenal and the oxtail quesadillas were delicious with their different flavors. As wine club members we were able to redeem our two dine in bottles. If you didn't know you can have them pour wine from those bottles and then have them corked so you can take them home if you can't finish it at your table. For our dine in bottles we chose the Gold Rush which a very savory wine. A little too dry for me but I still enjoyed it. Overall, what a great experience as always. If you are in the area check it out. Cheers!
