Sure, it's a small place in the middle of nowhere. And you might not think much of it. But you will be wonderfully happy ordering just about anything here. 4 of us went here for lunch on a Sunday. It was packed. Inside it isn't much - plywood ceiling, odd collection of animal statues on one wall, a giant model of a ship in the middle. But the people and the food - salt of the earth. Every single one of us cleaned our plates entirely. We all got something different. I had the catfish which was amazing. So good. Taco salad looked top notch and the burger was divine.

The other day I meet up with some of my cousins for Happy Hour. I cannot go wrong with one of the HH pizzas. Three of the six cousins, ordered pizza with different toppings. I went with the HH Taco's. I enjoyed Two Shrimp Taco's for only $7. The HH pizzas are $10. Three cousins went with the regular menu and enjoyed salads, chicken wings and chicken strips/tenders. Everyone was pleased with their food. The only thing keeping B&H from getting 5 Stars is the service. It's never consistent. One time it's over the top and the next time it's the bare minimum. It really depends on who you get as a server. The seasoned ones who have been for a long time, know how to work a table. The newer and younger ones, just don't get it. They don't hustle and as their station fills up, they get overwhelmed and everything goes downhill. When: January 7, 2026 Why: Happy Hour with the cousins

It was an incredibly hot evening, but I enjoyed a frozen peach sangria, which helped keep me cool. (The fans up there didn't work, so the frozen drink was almost a necessity.) My spouse and I split a flatbread pizza and a berry salad, too. The salad was fine--it needed a lot more nuts and a touch of salt. The flatbread, though, was REALLY delicious! The frozen sangria was great, too--sweet but not coyingly so. A friend I was with ordered one with a splash of red wine on top, making it a touch less sweet and more balanced, according to her. I'll try that next time. The winery closed earlier than I expected, but the musician was great. Copperdock was still a great place to spend an evening with friends or family. I recommend a visit!

Throughout our visit, someone from our table had to get up 4-5 times to get food or drinks and even take our checks and credit cards to the register ourselves in order to pay. I also ordered the charcuterie board for our table of four women to share because I was really craving some fruit. At over $22, I expected much more. The presentation looked as though it had been thrown together by a toddler, and the portion size was disappointing. The seven (plus one shriveled) whole grapes included certainly did not satisfy my fruit craving. For the price point, I expected better service, a more thoughtfully prepared charcuterie board, and a more enjoyable overall dining experience.

Our order was brought to the table without silverware: after a five minute wait I went to the kitchen doorway and requested silverware. After she finished her phone call she returned and slid four unwrapped plastic forks across the table, which seemed as unclean as the floor. My grilled chicken sandwich was a dry open faced hoagie with a tiny portion of overcooked chicken about the size of a monarch butterfly. When she retreated with the forks, I asked if I could have tomatoes and lettuce. Without apology she returned with a single thinly sliced greenish tomato and leaf of dry lettuce on a plate. I do not leave bad reviews unless there's something horribly wrong. Food, service and ambiance all a failure. I won't be back.
