Chicken strips, baked potato, cinnamon apples

Such a friendly place! The chicken strips didn't taste fishy (honestly I was afraid of that) and the sides were good. Also highly recommend the sugar free pineapple cake.

Although this place may look old and outdated, it is impeccably clean and the people who operate this restaurant take pride in preparing a from-scratch, quality, meal. I was extremely impressed at their attention to details, as well. We were having our meal, after 7:00, and drinking fresh-brewed ice tea. When it was time for a refill, we were asked if we were drinking the "decaf" iced tea!?! Wow! We didn't know that was an option, but we switched, as soon as we were told about it. Too cool! They care ;-) The battered flounder was very fresh, very mild flavored, and the batter and fry was the best I have EVER had. I've eaten a range of battered fish, from fast food, to fine dining. The other component of this, that must be noted: they use very clean oil. My fries and my fish, tasted just like their components should. My fries did not taste like fish, and my fish did not taste like dirty oil. Bravo! Okay, so one more comment about the care and freshness. I was too full to try a dessert, this time, but these are also all home-made, and I really appreciate that they offer some "sugar-free," items, daily! They care about healthier options!

The food was definitely hot but no seasoning on anything. The hush puppies were bland and definitely wasn't worth the drive

We ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon, and the bourbon bacon glaze was outstanding. We also tried the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread, which had the perfect balance of cool ranch flavor and just the right amount of spice. For drinks, we enjoyed the Bananas Foster Old Fashioned, Maple Old Fashioned, and the Gummy Flight. Each one was well-crafted and delicious. One of the highlights of this location is the waterfront setting. We requested outdoor seating and were seated on the upper-level deck overlooking the water. There was live music at the lower-level outdoor bar on Saturday night, and we could still enjoy the music from our table upstairs while taking in the view. We were seated quickly, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Although Copper Penny Grill has multiple locations, the Hickory location's waterfront atmosphere makes it especially memorable. If you're looking for great food, creative cocktails, live music, beautiful views, and excellent service, Copper Penny Grill in Hickory is well worth a visit. We look forward to returning and trying more of the menu.

So much to love about the Copper Penny at Lake Hickory.

Well, it's just this simple....if you are in the Hickory area or happen to visit, then do yourself…read morea favor and patronize this place. This was our first experience and it definitely won't be the last. Where do I begin....well, from the very beginning, when we walked in, we were met with a pleasant hostess, who was smiling and eager to assist. We were immediately seated and greeted by our waitress, who was very knowledgeable and able to provide us with every detail of the menu, as well as, offer food suggestions. It was hard for us to make a decision because they offer a wide variety of choices. Our food arrived fairly quickly considering that it was Father's Day and pretty busy. The food was excellent and full of flavor. You could certainly tell that it was cooked and prepared with skill....remarkably good! We are some pretty hard people to please and they certainly exceeded our expectations! The customer service and professionalism by the owners and staff is outstanding! We were greeted by the owner, Mrs. Chanika who came over and introduced herself. She shared stories with us about the establishment and also checked on us throughout our dinner. I was highly impressed. After dinner, we sat outside on the benches in front of the restaurant and discussed what a delightful evening it was. They offer such a comfortable and welcoming environment and we did not want to leave! The Galley made Father's Day an enjoyable and memorable experience for my husband and his brothers! We are already planning our next visit.
