A real shame. This used to be one of our favorite places. Not a cordial welcome by the hostesses. Waitress was friendly which was the only plus. Entrees came out about 30 seconds after the salads. I e pressed my displeasure but manager did not come out to apologize. Steak was bland and was ordered medium rare and came out medium. Fries were cold. Wife got stuffed flounder and it was fried. Decided to not send food back, it was edible, but a real disappointment. read more

Great place to eat! Just happened to be in the area and decided to check it out , we were very happy with the whole experience, from the greeting at the door and other staff friendliness, our waitress was very attentive and the food was great! read more

We stopped for a late lunch today at the Greer location & were so pleasantly surprised by the staff and food. Ms. April (the hostess) was so genuinely sweet and attentive that she brought a smile to our faces. Our waitress was also very good (I'm embarrassed that I can't remember her name--maybe Kristen or Kristy?). The chicken was outstanding along with the salad with house dressing. We will try to stop in again on our travels. It's so hard to find good service these days, so these ladies certainly deserve to be complimented!! Great job by all!! read more

So it can really be hit or miss with this place. Tonight's they were on point! Food was good, server, Courtney, was great. Mood track brownie- delicious!! I'm trying to cut meat out of my diet- no food with a face- so there was basically nothing in the menu for me but a salad, minus the bacon and ham, and creamed spinach. Oh- and the brownie. Still spent about $60 w/o tip- so that's an expensive dinner with the family for us. This place is right down the road from where we live, so I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Copper River Grill - two people sitting at a table - American Near Me - Greer, South Carolina

Ooooohhhh, Copper River...we waited for our app for 25 mins (which was cold) and over an hour for the food that never came...People were seated after us- and were paying their bill and leaving before us, and we still hadn't gotten our food. I wasn't hungry anyway... where was the manager? This is your house, and you should have known what was going on. Did I say this was a Tuesday Night? Did I say there were only three of us in our party? Copper River - Greer. read more

I had to wait 30 minutes for a take out order. The order was prime rib medium. I had ordered it 45 minutes prior to pick up time. The prime rib was well done without much flavor and slightly warm. The baked potato was cold but the salad was excellent. The manager apologised for the delay. It was obvious they needed more employees. This was one of my favorite restaurant prior to the covid epidemic. Prior food and service was excellent. I will wait a few weeks and try again. I do not want to give up on one of my favourite restaurants. read more

Date::10/12/2022....Family Dinner we sent over $200 the Waitress & Appetizers were the Best thing.. The Cook for The Entrees was definitely having A Bad night, The Grilled Shrimp had to be sent back looked As if it fell on the floor, black in color, cold to taste, the second round after being sent back was horrible also, the steaks were hard & messy looked like little hambugers....After speaking over the phone with the Store Manager who was verbally Aggressive& only focused on whether I wanted A free meal, Umm No Sir that's Not what A total complaint is about& My Family spent $200 of our hard earned money in this establishment so we Really deserve Another Dinner... However since the Pre Dinner was best perhaps you could be A little nicer & offer Coupon for Appetizers read more

Worst steak I've ever eaten... seriously! I ordered the 8oz filet cooked medium rare. The color and temperature looked perfect, but it tasted like it had been soaking in some kind of kitchen cleaner. Unfortunately, by the time I noticed the odd flavor of my steak I had already notified my server of the under-cooked potato that I was served, so I was not about to send the steak back too. I simply asked for steak sauce (which I have never done before) and choked it down along with the slightly better replacement potato. The salad was good though! I've eaten at a Copper River before and had a decent experience, so I did not check Yelp before coming to this location... BIG MISTAKE! I now see why they have such a low rating on Yelp. BTW, I sat at the bar and the service was okay, not great, but passable. Not sure where else to send you for a steak in Greer, but I can tell you to avoid Copper River Grill. read more

A colleague invited me to lunch here. The portions are huge. Staff friendly. Fettuccine with chicken was good and the side salad was a meal in itself. Come hungry or prepare to take some home. read more

On a Thursday, around 11:30, a group of us went to eat. We wanted to celebrate the end of the school year. There was about 20 teachers in our group, but we called ahead to make reservations! They knew we were coming. We were seated quickly and the staff was very friendly. However, our food and service could have been much better. Half of us didn't get our food for nearly an hour. Those of us who did get our food, were not satisfied. One teacher was served overcooked fries and undercooked chicken. One teacher had to take a to-go box, because everyone was finished by the time her food arrived. We looked forward to this dinner, without our students, for weeks. The poor teacher who did all the planning to make it happen looked so disappointed by the end! I probably should give a lower rating but I am trying to be gracious and understanding. Maybe their chef was out with the flu, right? read more

Update: While my last review likely focused on what is good, this one will have to focus on what is bad. I likely mentioned in many reviews that having an overly large menu with little direction as to the style, the IDENTITY of the restaurant is, going from Italian to seafood fry. Well, after throwing up twice on the way home and tons when I got home I can say stay away from the seafood. What made me this sick in particular was the fried flounder. It was served soft and soggy, had a "seafood" smell and for those that don't know, when it smells like "seafood", it's old food. Since the party I was with didn't want to wait for me to promptly send it back I decided to try to eat some hoping it wasn't my foodie side of me coming out. Yep, I was right. When I called to tell them about my experience and to check the fish to make sure it's good before serving it to another person they basically (and very nicely) said a little, etc but did not apologize for my meal. I didn't even want any freebies, at that point it was about people's health. Stick to their pizzas, soups and salads. Thus far on my excruciating adventure of finding anything else to go there for has been all for naught. Two stars until they condense their menu to what truly makes them shine, and remove all the crap. read more

See all

This place was great all around from the hostess all the way up. They were very concerned to make sure I enjoyed my food and extremely polite. 5star customer service. The house salad was loaded with toppings, bacon, eggs tomatoes all super fresh. Our server, Cassidy was super sweet. She recommended the house dressing, which was amazing.. Although the blackened chicken Alfredo came out with a little less flavor than expected. Our waitress let Clint (the manage )know and he came right away to help and ask whatever we needed with pleasure. We will be back!! Great food and very warm and welcoming staff . read more

The drinks were good as usual, and the service is always top notch. The ranch bacon cheese fries were not only Bland - but cold. They were most definitely coated in store bought cheese used for potato chips. The Caesar salad was soaked in dressing so bad, that it was dripping. My chicken Alfredo was over cooked, Dry, and the pasta was overdone, as it was crunchy.... good service - good drinks, but food needs improvement. read more

Yuck. The only reason I'm giving two stars is the decor and the pizza. Such an adorable setting, and very clean. Our server was terrible and had no knowledge of the menu. My she-crab soup had great flavor, but also had great amounts of cartilage and shell. Our salads were bland with stale croutons. The pasta had no flavor and very dry, overcooked chicken. The pizza was ok, but I wouldn't go back for that. read more

Every time I come to Copper River Grill, I get 3 star service and food. 5 stars for consistency. This past time, I had 1) dirty silverware (found some clean ones after searching), 2) lukewarm fries, and 3) crab shells in my crab-stuffed flounder. They brought me fresh fries (although undercooked ) so that got 3 stars. The chef came with the fries and apologized about the crab shells. Something like, I'm sorry, I hope it didn't ruin your meal, we switched from red-shelled to blue-shelled so they have softer shells so it's easier to miss the shells. No offer to refund or replace. So that attempted apology/excuse got 3 stars. Also, they didn't clean the crabs that well, so I had a little grit in my teeth while chewing. Overall, I've learned to play it safe at Copper River Grill. I've been to 2 locations, and I'd say order something that can't be easily messed up. read more

Very limited menu and although we live close by and have been many times we have had mixed experiences both with the found and the waitstaff. Once I ordered the filet which is the most expensive thing on the menu. it came to the table raw so was sent back and then it came back charred and burnt and took over an hour to come back. Waitress did not care. Manager came by to ask how everything was and my husband told him what had happened and he was unapologetic and did not care either. read more

We have come to Copper River many time since it opened here in Greer and overall, we have always had good service and the food is consistently good. I was very surprised that their rating was only a 2.5. Tonight our food and service was spot on...thank you Macey for being a very personable and attentive server! Bottom line, I guess you will not always have a great experience; however, for the most part Copper River in Greer has good service and the food is always good/consistent! read more

Got a free dinner from a vendor. Aesthetically, the inside is dark but still welcoming. Dark woods surround the entire, cavernous restaurant while high ceilings make the large dining area seem even larger. I had the caesar salad and the baby backs. The caesar was good, somewhat creamy dressing along with a croissant-type bread with a sweet topping drizzled over the top - both were good. The baby backs were *almost* fall off the bone, the meat kinda smoky and the sauce a was a little tangy and good. All in all, a good, filling meal that made the belly happy. And.....with no impact to the wallet!!!! Ya feel me? read more

We enjoyed the pizza ; great sausage and perfect sauce . Fabulous ribs!!! Wonderful house salad too. Had to wait to be seated on a very busy Sunday but it was worth the wait. Excellent service Nice atmosphere Nice music; not too loud Will come back again read more

We dined there on Thursday September 20. The food was good I paid with a debit card and put None for a tip because we always leave cash tips. On Friday, I checked my checking account and the restaurant added $5.00 to the card for a tip. This is pure theft. I will NEVER go there again due to them having thieves as employees. read more

Copper River has been a go to for us for several years but something has changed. The last three visits have been disappointing. Tonight 4 of us spent $100 and only 1 meal was good. Two never came as ordered and one was served Raw and looked terrible. Sent it back and they cooked it more and sent it out. Just so disappointed in the service, quality and the time wasted waiting for everything. read more

This was the absolute worst experience of our life this was disgusting. The salmon that my husband got was not cooked at all in the middle it was pure raw!! The waiter apologized but then we had to wait another 20 minutes for my husband to get his food while we had to eat so our food will not get cold. My husband did not want his food once I got there because he was disgusted at taking bites of the edges from the other salmon. The waiter did I apologize but that was it. No manager came over to speak with us and we had to pay for his entire dinner that he did not eat. I would not and will not ever come to this restaurant and again I do not recommend it poor management poor chef. It sucked!!!! read more

Copper River Grill - Raw Salmon!!! WTH!!! - American Near Me - Greer, South Carolina

I love Copper River and we recently started going to the Greer location. I got the BBQ nachos to go and they are always always so yummy (but really easy to make at home) but my last order will truly be my last. The order had multiple burnt nachos (tasted like burnt popcorn) and the chicken had very minimal sauce so it really just tasted like cheesy chicken and burnt popcorn. :( read more

Awesome chicken quesadilla. She had the garlic buffalo wings were little tough but I like them. Music selection was awesome. Place was clean n diverse n lighting was cozy n dim. Awesome time. Pricing wasn't too bad read more

We got delivery food and everything was great! The salads were fresh and the house dressing is amazing. Also tried the Carolina Burger and the pimento cheese was delicious, tastes just like my grandmother's recipe. The Steak Quesadilla was good also. Definitely recommend. read more

The Grilled Chicken Salad with the House Dressing is the Bomb! Get it every time and never been disappointed!

Had a reservation for party of nine. We were seated and served promptly. Menu had lots of options, typical American fare. We ordered everything from steak, seafood to pasta. Appetizer choices are not to be missed. I highly recommend the crab dip. All the entrees were excellent, fried Tilapia just average. One steak was cooked medium rather than medium well. We sent it back. Manager personally brought it to the table to make sure we were satisfied. Waitress was excellent. Staff seemed to genuinely enjoy working there. They functioned well as a team. I highly suggest any of the sides. The cheese mashed potatoes and reds are the best. Finished the meal with Alaska Pizza for dessert. Left full and satisfied. We will return. read more

I really, really wanted to give this place 5 stars just because the quality of the food (especially my 11oz Sirloin Steak) but I just couldn't. Not because of the food quality, it was really good, the salads were very fresh and the food came out perfect to order. Not because of the service, we had excellent service even when the place was slam packed. The only reason I had to lower it to 4 stars is because really, in my opinion the menu was a little boring. But, that doesn't make it bad, they may not have a huge menu full of eye widening selections but what they do make, they make really well! The portions are large as well, so go hungry! And for desert, don't miss out on their "table size" sweets! Seriously, we split it between a table of 4 (which would really be like a table of 6 with our appetites), and it was still more than enough! read more

Copper River is my favorite place to eat in the Spartanburg SC area. The food is always prepared perfectly. It's a great place to take our friends and family. The Bible tells us to "Eat, Drink, and be Merry" and this place is the perfect venue to make that happen. We highly reccomend this place. read more

The past few times I've eaten here I've noticed it slowly go down hill.. but after my visit last week - I'll never be back. Served salmon that smelt and tasted like a dirty fish tank and completely raw inside. Not sure how this left the kitchen. Waitress was kind, but charged me for a replacement to-go order since I couldn't eat my meal. read more

Copper River Grill - BBQ Salmon Sandwich - American Near Me - Greer, South Carolina

So hit or miss on this Copper River. Service can be so very slow. Plates came out 10 minutes after the table next to us got their food yet they ordered after us. Daughters hamburger bun fell apart and she said the meat just tasted bad. I had a grilled chicken salad and the chicken was not grilled very well. I hate paying restaurant prices when I can do much better cooking myself. Not going back. read more

Wasn't greeted by the hostess at all. She was in a convo with another employee and we had to wait. Then, took forever to have a server come to the table. Great food, BAD management!! read more

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! Spent $112 for a graduation dinner. Food was delivered 6 missing items out off 11. Immediately called the restaurant where a lady answered and was extremely rude, spoke over me when I was explaining what items were missing. She then refused to allow me to speak with a manager and disconnected the call!!!!! When I called back. Juan (the operating manager) spoke to me very rudely. Fortunately I was able to dispute the matter outside of the restaurant for my money back. read more

I think I'm going to have to give up eating out. Seated immediately... that plus the salad earns the 2 stars. Everything else gets only one. Slow to get salad, food, a to go drink after no refills were offered. 1st baked potato mostly hard black areas; 2nd baked potato room temperature...dead giveaway when butter does not begin to melt. Plus menu clearly states that you can order up to 2 side salads for $3.99 each for each entree. We were charged $4.99 for "side salad as entree." Bummer. And they wonder why they are not busy. read more

I understand that during this time most restaurants are under staffed. I also know that the normal bartender is over worked & overwhelmed. I know these things because I call, to attempt to place an order, once a week. We order the same thing, 2 chicken tender salads. Nothing different. I have called in once a week for most of the summer. Usually, I get left on hold from the time I leave work until I arrive at the restaurant. I then go in & find at least 1 hostess checking her face book. I don't even ask to place an order i just make my way to the bar. Order my salads & drink a beer while I wait. Tonight however, I called was asked to hold & hung up on, after 7 min. I called back. Again asked to hold & held for 8 min & hung up on . I called back... asked to hold & stayed on hold for 14 min then switched to an automated system to leave a voice message & was then hung up on. I was in the restaurant business for approximately 20 years. I know things happen. People call out, supplies run short, weather knocks the power out. I really do understand. I was completely taken off guard tonight. I couldn't believe this happened 3 time in a row. I truly love the location but I will no longer be a patron. I can not explain to you how disappointed I was. I will not be disappointed again. read more

Alfredo was undercooked and had WAY to much parmesan. The salmon i ate was burnt to a crisp. The caesar salad was good, though. read more

2 hour wait. Food was crap. Servers very unpleasant Do not ever waste your Money here read more

We dined at Copper River Grill on Friday 27 February while visiting my parents who live in Taylors, SC. They had been to Copper River previously and were excite to take my wife, daughter and I there to celebrate my Dad's birthday. We called ahead for seating, and it's a good thing we did as there was an hour wait for people who had not called ahead - even at 8pm! We only had to wait about 10 minutes and used that time to grab some drinks at the bar. First impression of the restaurant was a good one. It's a very open-air atmosphere. And even though smoking is permitted it was not obvious that was the case (something I always check on when we have our 3-yr old with us). Our server was Chris, and he did a pretty good job with our table. Nothing on the wine list really caught our attention so we stuck with beer. The salads were all delicious - very fresh as the previous reviewer stated. The house dressing (honey mustard with bacon) is a must! The salads are also served with croissants covered in honey - different, but tasty albeit a bit sticky. My dad and I had the fish special of the day which was blackened Mahi Mahi. My dad liked it more than I, but I did enjoy it. I was expecting more spice and flavor based on Chris's description when he told us about it. The baked potato I had as a side was quite good. My mom had the Hickory Salmon which she said was excellent. My wife had the ribs, which she said were good but not the best she's had (There's a place by us in the DC area called Sweetwater Tavern that has the BEST ribs!). Our daughter ordered the Grilled Cheese with French fries which didn't come out until 20 minutes after the rest of our meals - my only real complaint about the experience. Fortunately, she doesn't eat much as it is and was able to much on the other things on the table. The portions were all very large, and we left with 2 to-go boxes much like everyone else we saw! We were all too stuffed to even consider a "table-sized" dessert. Bottom line: Copper River is a great place for a family meal. Good food in a casual atmosphere with pleasant service. I highly recommend calling ahead for seating - especially on weekends. read more

I usually get the Mob salad, which is big and delicious. This last time I tried their burger. It was huge, but nothing special taste wise, and they put two pickle slices on it! 2. For about a pound of meat. Don't skip on my pickles, man. Someone with me ordered the "chopped steak," and it is NOT STEAK. It's ground beef. Very misleading. Big no-no IMHO. read more

Very average overall, poor if you factor in price. $70 for two adults and two kids... rip off! We've come twice. First time steak was well done when we asked medium. Came back the exact same way. Third time it was totally rare. They did take it off as the entire family had finished and was ready to go by the time the steak arrived. 2nd trip two ordered pasta and it was extremely heavy on garlic (and we like garlic), neither enjoyed it. Po-boy was dry and there were 5 small shrimp and 2" of bread. read more
