Went to order and the employees were smiling, happy, pleasant, very friendly. Sat down and tables were clean . Someone was walking around cleaning tables at all times and asking if we needed anything and asking if our food was . We got our order quickly. Didn't wait longer than 10 minutes. Our food was fresh and hot. Flavor was amazing! My husband got reaper tenders(which were the size of a chicken breast) and I got mild, my son got reaper and medium, my sons girlfriend got light mild, my youngest and his buddy got no spice. Everyone loved each flavor! We also got mozzarella sticks which were amazing! zero complaints, highly impressed, highly recommend!! Definitely will be back!

The girl working FOH was very sweet but everything else about this experience was really…read moredisappointing. My friend and I ordered at 5pm & both got a chicken sandwich and one of the breaded mozzarella things. Around 5:35, we noticed customers being turned away at the counter, being told that they "weren't taking orders" with no further explanation given. The restaurant wasn't overly busy at all, there were maybe 8-10 of us in total in there, including people who had already received their food and were eating. It ended up taking 40 minutes for us to get our food, which wasn't particularly warm. I hate leaving negative reviews and I do want to stress that the girl working was very kind, I just think the whole situation would've gone over better with increased communication from staff to customers.

Ours don't look like the picture as the chilli looked burnt or something but it didn't look fresh. I tried a few and they were just okay. Philly was just okay too. Probably wouldn't stop here again. Reasonably priced thought IMO. Online ordering tacks on some fee too. 4 stars is being a bit generous but it's NYE!

Finally! After many years, we made it back to Copper Penny! On our return trip from Southport we…read morestopped in downtown to grab a bite before heading home. We started walking around and my wonderful wife suggested Copper Penny. Absolutely! There was a short wait for a table, but we didn't mind. The inside is almost like we remember it. We did notice the menu is a lot smaller. The last time we dined here was around ten years ago. Definitely plenty of options. We went with the onion ring appetizer, Cobb salad, and the BBQ Burger. The atmosphere of Copper Penny is the same. Definitely missed this place. After a short wait our food was brought out. Everything was delicious. This is just an update, but we still love Copper Penny and will continue to return.

Inside we a long and narrow, mostly large wooden booths and a large bar. Darker. Started with sodas, a beer, and the dragonfruit mimosa (I didn't wind up drinking/liking the flavor- but also didnt say anything as honestly know my taste better. Sharing feedback for others that it is on the sweeter side- which you may love). Buffalo chicken sandwich, sauce on side with fries. Enjoyed, typical but large sandwich. Chicken pita, enjoyed- fries on side. Philly cheesesteak with Caesar salad side- really liked. Owner is from Philly, which made a difference. Grilled chicken with side Cobb salad- lots of cheese and mushrooms and onions. Super delicious bread- soft with some flake since still crunch and not soggy. Salad was fresh and delicious. Pork sandwich- my husband liked, it was good but I didn't love the meat flavor. Concepts with having spinach and such was great. Manager/owner(?) came by to each table too. Definitely worth a trip to explore- fresh ingredients. Next time the wings...

Prices are decent & all sandwiches come w/ fries & drink. $15 for 8oz Burger & Fries Now for the food - I know this is going to show my age but damn, everything was soooo greasy & salty. See the pic of the fires - not sure the fry guy even drained them before throwing them in the bag. The burger tasted like they rolled the ground beef in a sat mix before putting it on the grill. Definitely could have been better. Also it may have just been my choices & they do have other options like Grilled Chicken Sandwiches & a few different salads. It's worth a try, maybe it was just a new cook w/ a heavy hand on the salt shaker. I'll probably try them again if I'm in the area & just ask for some specific changes on the next round.

Smoky Chicken That Needs No Sauce!…read more We popped into Papi's Peruvian Chicken on a Sunday, hoping to beat the church crowd, but it turns out, the real blessing was waiting inside. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, my buddy leaned over and said, "Man, someone's smoking something and it smells delicious." When we stepped inside, his grin got even bigger as he turned to me and said, "It's this place, great choice!" We both went for the smoked dark quarter with street corn salad. My buddy chose green beans, and I went with the Inca pork beans. I asked the woman at the counter to recommend a sauce, and she took the time to explain each one, patiently answering all my basic questions. It turns out, the chicken didn't need any sauce at all. It was smoky, moist, and packed with flavor--crispy on the outside with a deep, wood-fired taste that lingered with every bite. The Inca pork beans were hearty and full of flavor, a solid sidekick to the main event. The street corn salad, while fresh, could have used a bit more kick--maybe a sprinkle of cheese or a dash of lime to brighten it up. The interior's industrial strip mall vibe is functional but could benefit from a few authentic touches--like Peruvian art or music--to match the rich flavors coming out of the kitchen. If you're craving smoky, fall-off-the-bone chicken, Papi's Peruvian Chicken is worth the trip. I'll definitely be back to try more!

The establishment was very clean & pleasant. Our meal, we took to go. Our milkshakes hit the spot for the Carolina Summer heat. Granddaughter & I loved our chicken tenders. As for the cost, I'm still adjusting to this rate/inflation hike. Personally, these prices hurt. But, if we think about the owner needs to be able pay his staff & suppliers. So, I guess it's average cost. I'd ask that you stop by the next HWY 55 Diner & judge for yourself, between Fast Food Corp or Hwy 55 Diner. Bring the family & enjoy a gratifying meal.

No big deal I'll survive, so I get home and go in my room and put my (small) drink on my nightstand, and what do I see? ANTS. Lots of ants. There's no f-ing food in my room besides my beautiful burger (plain with just mustard if you were wondering). So I'm panicking right, I call my friend who proceeds to just laugh at me and she's googling how to get rid of random ants that apparently live in ur nightstand and I have none of the ingredients to commit mass genocide on these stupid little insects anyways the point of this review is that after my initial panic I grabbed a bottle of hairspray and went to town on these mfs and I meant went to townnnnn. My room is covered in hairspray now and once I was good and sweaty from freaking out and committing mass merder on these things I sit down and I'm like thank god I can finally eat my big double burger tray with double Cajun fries and I open the shining glorious styrofoam box and there's literally not a speck of seasoning on my now soggy fries.
