    Simple cheeseburger and crinkles
    Denise C.

    Basic burger and fires kind of place. Place the order at the window, then wait for a good while, then once your name is called, you pay for your order. Cash only. They have an outdoor seating area but no indoor seating if that's what you're looking for. We wanted a quick, no-frills, affordable burger and fries and that's what we got...minus the quick part. Solid burger, just wish it had more than cheese and pickles on it. Crinkle cut fries.

    Definitely worth the 50 min drive also great lil road-trip. First time having it I was surprised because it looks like a typical burger you grill but it tasted even better cooked perfectly and all the ingredients were fresh! Was disappointed they didn't have their curly fries they were completely out but there will definitely be a next time! The waffle fries were so good and crispy and had just the right flavor. The prices were fair nothing expensive. Also my cousin put me on the ski soda that every one should try!

    Onion rings fries burgers nuggets

    The best burger ever it's so cheap and quick, we got 4 burgers, chicken nuggets, 2 things of onion rings, and some fries for ONLY $40! It's so worth it. We drove all the way from O'fallon and it's so worth the drive!

    Just go and see for yourself. Perfect burger, cooked to perfection and made fresh every single time. I enjoy doing the 50min drive from St Louis! It's a mini road trip for the family and there's a cute park literally a block over where the kids can play and you can sit and eat if you don't there. Couldn't recommend this place enough and the price is more than fair! Cash only - don't forget. An awesome time and excuse me in the last photo that's the face you make when the ski is just so dang bussin you don't know how to contain your self!!!

    Place came recommended from locals - awesome recommendation! Burger's, onion rings and fries were delicious! If your coming through, gotta stop!

    Came here right after I got 50+ bottles of Ski, and let me tell you, it was a grand time spent in Breese...a true taste of Clinton County, Illinois. My double cheeseburger was phenomenal, with just the right amount of flavor and crunch. The meat patties were decently-sized, slightly bigger than what you'd normally find at a place like this. Price was good too. If the burger would have had a little bit of secret sauce, it would be eerily similar to a certain burger fast food chain mainly located on the West Coast! I loved Wally's and can't wait to go back again!

    Great customer service and good ambiance…read more Blueberry cheesecake - so good! Save room for this! I liked that it wasn't overly dense. Pork osso bucco- highly recommend. We don't like goat cheese so they were able to sub out the goat cheese polenta with cheesy grits. The cheesy grits were so good!! Bistro steak - good but it's not a must have for me. It came with asparagus that was tasty and potato pave. The potato pave was crispy but soft on the inside. For an appetizer we had the Spätzle dish featuring Emmenthaler fondue, nutmeg, and gremolata. It's almost like a Mac and cheese. It had Microgreens and nuts in it. The combination worked so well. It was unique and delicious. A great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. They were very thoughtful!

    For my friend's birthday brunch, she wanted to celebrate at Polite Society. The service was…read moreincredible and attentive, and though we had waited for a member of our party for a while that ended up not being able to attend, they were very patient and never pushy. I got an NA elderberry lemonade spritzer that was delicious and refreshing. I ordered the shrimp and grits (they were soooo good, buttery, rich, and flavorful) and a side of potato wedges to share. The potato wedges are GF!!! The one and only downside to the grits was that they stopped being creamy and was more polenta-cakey only a few minutes after it got to the table, but honestly, did not mind at all. The dining room is eclectic, like visiting someone's Spanish villa's reading room. Really enjoyed it and will be back to try other dishes!

    What a cute place place to grab some food, wine or cocktail, and listen to live music! My spouse…read moreand I went on a Friday night when Brandon Munie was performing, and we got great seats up under the raised pavilion, further away from the mosquitos and overlooking the lake. 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!

They served other tables around us that had been seated after us and we were passed by at least 8 different times . After finally getting some service we told our waitress we were going to the tasting room to please hold our table we would be right back and she assured us it would be held for us. We even left all our personal belongings on table. Come back 10-15 minutes later and people were seated at our table and our stuff was missing (PISSED) We had to go find it . VERY POORLY MANAGED !! We have always enjoyed Copper Dock but will not be back any time soon.
