    I was visiting from out of state to see family, and my cousin recommended this spot for some solid bar food; specifically the chicken tenders. At first, I didn't believe him when he said they'd be the best I've ever had... but wow, he wasn't lying! We were seated right away since there was plenty of space, and the guy who took our order was super friendly and attentive. We ordered some drinks and, of course, the famous chicken tenders. Let me just say, these were hands down the most delicious chicken tenders I've ever had. Perfectly crispy and flaky on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Paired with the fries? Chef's kiss! I seriously wish we had a place like this in my city! Highly recommend this spot, the food and service were both on point.

    We came here with a group of girls for one of their birthdays. I thought everything was just OK. They don't really have a list of cocktails which was disappointing if you don't like to drink canned beverages. Mules seem to be their thing - they did have a $5 special going on their lower tier alcohol ones which was appreciated by most of the table, but I opted for the higher quality one priced at $10 (or $12? Can't recall!). The best thing we ordered was the bee sting whipped feta dip with cauliflower pitas - it was really good! You definitely have to get the extra order of pita chips, what they give you barely even gets you through half the feta. For my entree I got the pepper jelly chicken sandwich. The fries were nothing special, low seasoning. The chicken breading was nice and crispy and tasted good but the pepper jelly was too much. Too sweet, too messy, just didn't really care for it! Parking down there on a Saturday is also never fun....we had to do several laps before we lucked out and found a spot. Overall, I wouldn't choose to go back but it was fine for the event.

    This is an amazing spot! Came here for a lunch with friends and this was all our first time here. The service was amazing and friend and we loved the vibe of the establishment. The food was amazing as well I got a triple smash burger and it was juicy and very flavorful. We all enjoyed the food and drinks. Parking could be difficult sometimes depending on the time and day. But there are a lot of paying parking lot all around the area.

    Stopped by for a fish fry before a Bucks game. The food was good- a decent fry. The service was slow- we should have sat at the bar!

    Despite a busy night and no reservations, we were seated quickly. Friendly staff and a great server, Pauline H. We had the Griddle pressed burger and the Cooper cubano. Bothe were delicious and served in good time with good presentation. It is a bar atmosphere and can get loud, so know that. I do recommend going and will have it on my go to list.

    Chicken nuggets
    Phil G.

    I abhor sports bars and 95% of what is classified as bar food. Milwaukee has a ton of them all over the city, serving the same frozen, greasy, disgusting food devoured by yahoos tanked up on beer, who wouldn't know the difference between good food and dog feces. That's why I usually avoid anything near that abomination called the Deer District. However, a friend invited me to a Marquette game, and he said to meet him at a place named the Copper on King. With great trepidation, I walked into a typically looking Milwaukee sports bar, copying the ubiquitous sports bar design used worldwide; Nothing unique or innovative here. After sitting down at the huge bar, and some lively conversation with my buddy, we ordered one chicken nugget appetizer to share. The dish arrived, and I was blown away. This appetizer could serve three or four people, and the chicken tasted great, as did my fries. It probably wasn't fresh, but it tasted good and was not greasy. Our server was intelligent and understood inference. That was fun and cool. Copper on King isn't a five-star dining establishment, but for what it's designed to do, it does well. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at the Copper, but if I'm attending an event in this testosterone drenched neighborhood, the Copper on King is my best choice.

    My family went to Cooper on King for dinner while in town. We sat outside on the green which was fun because there was live music close by. The staff were very friendly and responsive and the food was great. I ordered the Jambalaya it was tasty and spicy with 2 skewers of shrimp on the top. Both my boys ordered the smash burger. One enjoyed his the other one didn't eat it because it came out wrong. By the time the burger came back, he had already filled up on fries. My husband ordered the Copper Cubano. He said it was very good.

    Smash burger with halloumi cheese bites!

    Anyone else meet their new BFF at a random bar? Head in and chat with Erick, he's the best bartender! And now he's my bestie! He is so friendly and amazing! He LOVES food and will give you his honest opinion about the food (everything is amazing) and let me tell you, he did NOT disappoint. He describes food the way my fellow Yelpers do, yep food porn! I'm trying to recruit him, as he would make the perfect addition to our Elite Club! Smash burger was huge and so filling! Hello chef, you did amazing and my tummy is a happy camper! The halloumi cheese bites were bomb! They were served with the Mediterranean dip (almost tzatziki), the flavors melded perfectly. The pickles are made in house fresh and they are crisp and totally hit the spot! Just a YUM and WOW! FUN FACT; This is the longest straight bar east of the Mississippi! Super excited I found this place! Highly recommend! Come in and give Erick a big "howdy", he'd love it!

    Mimosa "copper tower"
    Davina R.

    Everything about this place is awesome! Staff is super friendly and helpful, & food IS FIRE! The whipped feta dip appetizer is so good, I've gotten it 3 times now. (Hint, ask for extra cauliflower points). Inside is clean and classy, patio is bright & fun! Cocktails are also fun and unique. Don't sleep on the deep eddy spiked mimosa tower for only $40 you get 12 shots of deep eddy vodka & mimosas !!! Get that during brunch!!

    Mai Tai Mule
    Mike V.

    Mai Tai Mule was delicious! The smash burger was great as well as the fries, except the fries were cut so small they took forever to eat I also enjoyed the patio seating on a nice summer evening. I was disappointed they had a different menu due to the concert at Fiserv, so I guess I'll have to come back for the chicken Parmesan sandwich.

    The view behind us along the bar

    We stumbled upon Copper on King while looking for a bite to eat before a Milwaukee Admirals game and the Justin Timberlake concert. The bars we initially tried were packed with no open tables, but luckily, this spot had seating available. We had no idea what to expect, but the warm and inviting atmosphere immediately made us feel like we had made the right choice. The restaurant features a long, narrow bar with seating to the right and beautiful copper accents throughout--giving it a sleek yet cozy vibe. Our server, Selina, was absolutely fantastic! She took the time to walk us through the menu, making great recommendations along the way. Without a doubt, the Bee Sting appetizer is a must-try--the combination of feta cheese, hot honey, pistachios, and those perfectly seasoned cauliflower toast points had us craving more all night long! For our main dish, we ordered wings, and Selina suggested doing a dry rub with sauces on the side so we could try multiple flavors. We went with four different sauces, which made for a fun experience--especially for the kids! The wings were perfectly cooked, flavorful, and served piping hot. On top of that, the service was extremely fast--we barely had time to chat before our appetizers and meals arrived. If you're in the area and need a great place to grab a bite before an event, Copper on King is a fantastic choice. Amazing service, delicious food, and a relaxed yet stylish atmosphere--this place is definitely worth a visit!

    French onion soup
    Jamie G.

    Obsessed with the peri-peri dry rub wings, and the French onion soup is the best I've ever had. The historic building itself is really cool, too. Anytime someone is visiting milwaukee and asks for recommendations, Copper on King is my go to! It's perfect for food and drinks with friends, business associates, or for a date night

    Cheese curds with the cheese cooked out of them!
    Steve M.

    Chicken tenders great, cheese curds just the standard frozen ones you can get anywhere.....and they over cooked.

The walls had older pictures of what the place use to be and what it looked like along with older artifacts as decorations. Pretty neat to see "historically" items in a modern business. This place didn't seem super big but they did have some outdoor seating but it was raining the day we visited. They had some gambling machines if that is important to you. Our server was friendly and attentive as possible with all the busy happening. She answered our questions about the menu and the restaurant even though she was busy. She never made us feel rushed which I appreciated.

We quite literally came here straight from the airport. To make matters worse, we had not eaten anything substantial all day and had actually looked this restaurant up weeks before our trip while researching places to eat the infamous Wisconsin fish fry, so we were really looking forward to the experience. The experience started off poorly when our party was essentially scolded by the hostess for sitting at a table that apparently needed to be cleaned for the wait list. To make matters worse, the busser laughed and joked that we were "in trouble," to which I could only respond, "Sounds like it." Not exactly the welcoming atmosphere you'd hope for as a first time visitor. The fish fry was decent our tab came out to $150 for 5 people, but the service was absolutely subpar and our tip reflected that. We also had to send back two drink glasses because they were dirty one still had lipstick on it, and another had food stuck to the inside of the glass. Overall, this was a very disappointing dining experience. Between the unprofessional treatment, lackluster service, and cleanliness issues, I would not recommend stopping here. There are plenty of other restaurants worth trying instead.

It's an interesting setup, reminds me almost of a living room (with dining tables) and then the small bar area is to the side. To order food, you do it through two wall kiosks which I like because you can look at options and not feel rushed unless there's a line. Outside they have tables and a tv as well. I choose a veggie sandwich which had a good kick to it! The smaller size was good enough for me. It was a bit confusing how to get your food, from what we understood, you have to go through a door to get to the kitchen window (bathrooms are that way too) but no one calls your order number or anything. I'd suggest an improvement on that way you know your food is ready or maybe we missed something. Overall, I would return and would like to try other items on the menu!
