Gracie was a perfect waitress and served us absolutely fantastic catfish meals. The coating was light and fish plentiful and flaky. We finished with one of the best slices carrot cake I've had and I'm very picky about carrot cake! This is our second time here and will not be our last! (Actually going to have breakfast in am before we head north). Prices are low but food top notch! read more

Passing through and waiting for our car to charge. Good food, served fast, and relatively cheap. Would visit again.

Excellent American southern cuisine. Every time I drive through this area, make a point to stop here.

The Copper Pot provided our first southern meal on a recent trip and it was delicious and a great value. I ordered grilled catfish with sides of collard greens, sweet potato casserole, and a corn muffin. The greens were flavorful and had a perfect texture. The fish was melt-in-your-mouth tender, but a bit undercooked in the center so the server quickly brought me a replacement. The corn muffin was a little dry and small, but tasted great with some butter. Everything was served piping hot. My partner had ham steaks and we also had a slice of carrot cake which did not disappoint. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the leather booths are very comfortable. Definitely recommend for a casual, inexpensive dinner out. read more

Stopped here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! Authentic Southern food with generous portions and very great value. Our server was super friendly, and the menu is huge with tons of options. We got the deep south place with fried chicken and copper burger. They were very flavorful, and the corn fritter is a must-try! If you're looking for an all american diner style burger, here is the place to go!! Service was a little slow today but still would recommend the place for the food!! read more

This was quite a find on our road trip. I had grilled flounder - asked for no salt. It came quickly & was good. My husband had fried catfish which he enjoyed. I really liked my sweet potato casserole. Wait staff friendly & helpful. Great prices. read more

Absolutely loved this place! Great food, friendly staff, and the atmosphere felt like home. My son ordered the pancake breakfast and asked us to bring him here for his birthday even though it's two hours away from us! So happy we found this spot on our travels. Highly recommend. read more

A little hard to find if you don't know exactly where to turn in. If you make it, this is a reasonably price restaurant serving good comfort food. Very pleasant staff. read more

Traveling up to New Jersey from Georgia from my regular drive I found this place - a few blocks off of interstate 77. Sad there was no chicken and dumplings - which is what caught my eye... but they had green peas and dumplings, which was sublime! Fried Okra, macaroni and cheese and this on freaking believable fried bread, which I thought was just regular rolls - was a sick surprise! read more

The Copper Pot is a family favorite for breakfast and home cooking. My parents eat here on a weekly/bi-weekly basis for breakfast or dinner. It's a must go-to when we come to town. It's nothing fancy, but it reminds you of grandmas cooking. The staff is always super friendly and efficient, and the owner is super nice. The ambiance is simple for a country restaurant and they have some games for the kiddos. read more

I've had breakfast and lunch and both were pretty good. I like stopping there. It's a midway point for me and the people are always friendly and the service is always good. It's a nice country feel. read more

Great country cooking and very friendly staff. Best salt and pepper catfish I have ever had and the portions are great.

The chicken was burnt and smelled horrible like it was rotten and they were trying to cover it up

Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Our food came out fast and our orders were correct. The pancakes were as big as the plate and the bacon was cooked perfectly. I would go back if I was in the area. read more

What a gem! Yelp helped us find this lil spot during our 8 hour drive home to NC. We wanted a casual sit down restaurant (not a chain) with a good rating and immediately off the highway. This place checked off all the blocks and got bonus points for friendly service, super clean environment and delicious homemade cakes and fritters! *I even bought locally sourced Goat handLotion! We WILL be back read more

Meh. Typical small diner in an even smaller strip mall. The food was good, but nothing worth driving out of your way, for. I've been here once, and that was enough. read more

Service was great. The food was delicious. One of those places you just need to stop. Thankyou to all of the staff.

Food was okay. Service was slow. this is the LOUDESt restaurant I have ever been. Did notake for an enjoyable meal

Was excited to order from this place but I must say , I've never Had a breakfast sandwich on hamburger bun. We ordered coffee and had to dump it. I would pay more for some toast . Price is cheap. Eggs seemed fresh . read more

The Copper Pot can on my radar while searching on Yelp for a lunch place while driving home. I'm glad that we stopped. My catfish and shrimp dinner was a delicious meal of beige food - and I mean that in a good way! Lightly breaded catfish was very tasty and cooked fresh for me. The fried shrimp was wonderful. Hush puppies are fabulous, we don't have baby places with good ones in Detroit. And who knew that I like corn fritters? I never knew! Delicious sweet corn fried in a light batter. I have to eat in the south more often! Our server Aaron was friendly and helpful with the menu! read more

The Copper Pot - Pleasant dining room - Southern Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

A gem of a restaurant right off the freeway on our way to Charlotte. Delicious southern home cooked food. Great service.

It is closed. Do not go - this needs to be removed so people do not waste their time getting off highway. Shipping containers out front. Out of business for a while it seems. read more

Great southern cooking and friendly staff. The restaurant has recently been fully remodeled and it looks amazing. Very close to the highway, perfect for travelers wanting some wonderful food. read more

The Copper Pot - Southern Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

We stopped in for lunch. The dining area was pretty crowded so it took a while to get waited on. Our waitress was very sweet and helpful. The reason for what is generally a lower rating for my reviews is that when we unrolled the fork from the napkin, it hadn't been washed. Yuck. Since we were there at noon I expected the baked potatoes to be much fresher. Everything else was good. My country fried steak was very good and the deviled eggs were good as well. My husband enjoyed his chopped sirloin. I tasted it and didn't think it had a lot of flavor but then again that's what steak sauce is for. Not sure if we will go back but if we do I will avoid the baked potatoes. read more

Best food I ever ate great service and the remodeling is clean looking love Caroyn she is awesome

Not good food. Very basic and disappointing. Service was good, but would not recommend this place as a hood Southern kitchen.

Simple country food. Lots of deep fried choices & breakfast food. We are vegetarian so went with the grilled cheese. Very inexpensive. Really excellent service from our sweet server. It was pretty unclean though, with tables around covered with crumbs & such. More attention to detail would go a long way. Hometown southern cooking if that's what you're seeking! read more

Biscuits are not homemade, along with the gravy. Eggs were cooked as ordered. Meatloaf was very dry. Not much taste. Sweet potato casserole was good, along with the slaw. read more

What a great breakfast! Kayleigh, our server, was a diligent and friendly young Southern lady. When I expressed my surprised delight at actually enjoying a cup of coffee at a diner and said, "This is good coffee," she cheerfully replied, "Ain't it, though?" The eggs were perfectly over medium, the bacon was meaty, and the home fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. In this day and age, it's rare to have a perfect restaurant meal. Oh, and our bill was less than $20 for two people! read more

We stopped during a very busy time. The food sat in the window forever and thus was a little dry and cool once it arrived to our table. The service was sub par but like I said they were real busy. If we stopped again, I would probably order their breakfast, it looked pretty good. read more

If you're looking for your home town diner look no further. Good home cooking, friendly staff, hometown vibe.
