Best burgers around (southern heat YUM) & great selection of craft brews! Corbin, 1 of the bartenders, has great customer service, and knowledgeable about the beer they serve! Plus, he gives good beer recommendations!
Edit: Came back a few years later and Cooper's Tavern is still a great place to enjoy a casual meal in a warm and inviting atmosphere. I had the salmon tacos which were delicious! Great restaurant and tavern with excellent food.
Very nice place. The food was very good and affordable. Had the Thursday special of grilled pork chop and a side salad. Our server Haley was very good. We had a group of 8 so we kept her busy. I forgot to get pictures of the food but the chop was moist and good and my wife had Salmon Tacos which were good. The fried brocoli is delicious.
The Onion Ring Has Been Perfected! (And Travis is a legend!) Wow! We had an amazing dinner at Cooper's last night. I have to start with the onion rings because, honestly, I'm pretty sure they're the best I've ever had in my entire life. Let's be real: we've all experienced the "onion ring tragedy"—you take one bite, and the entire hot onion strand slides out, leaving you with an empty, sad tube of breading. That DOES NOT happen here! Cooper's has officially cracked the code. Every single bite was perfectly crunchy and had delicious onion in it, right down to the last one. Pure magic. The burgers were just as tasty and perfectly cooked, and a huge shout-out has to go to our server, Travis. He was fantastic—super friendly, incredibly attentive, and just made the whole experience even better. One piece of advice: The secret is clearly out, so definitely call ahead for a reservation or plan on a little wait. Trust me, it is 100% WORTH THE WAIT. We will be back!
Wow! What an experience. Great food with a variety for just about everyone. The service was excellent and mindful of my allergies. The atmosphere was comfortable with plenty of ways to watch sports and two billiard tables. Looking forward to our next visit there. You'll be glad you stopped by.
Great bar with more than just a bar menu. We've been several times and never a bad meal. Stopped in today to add our recently departed Cooper to the 'dog wall of fame'. Food was great and thanks to Dana for the friendly service at the bar. See you guys again soon.
The staff ( Ashley & Ms. Taylor) went above and beyond to make my surprise birthday party for my cousin a huge hit! The food was delicious and our group of 12 were all served at the same time. The entertainment was pleasant. Taylor Denny was a perfect host as always!
We wanted to try this because we heard it was named after a retriever named Cooper..It did not disappoint. The food was great. I loved my drink aptly named " Dog Water " . The beer garden ( The Dog House,)features live music on the weekends.. My favorite experience was looking over the the walls of Coopers that featured framed pictures ( in the 100's) of customers dogs that they had brought in to celebrate their dogs and how much they mean to them. We'll be back with our own picture next time❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cooper’s Tavern Hands down the best fish tacos I’ve ever had—and I don’t say that lightly. Perfectly cooked fish, fresh toppings, and flavors that actually make you stop mid-bite like “okay wow.” 😮💨🌮 The vibe is laid-back, the service is on point, and the food is straight-up crave-worthy. If fish tacos are your thing (or even if they’re not), this place is a must. I’ll be thinking about these tacos for a long time.
Excellent food and relaxed fun atmosphere. Stopped by on a whim on Valentine’s Day when we were in the area. Had good reviews and was def a great choice! Wasn’t busy late afternoon however when we left the place was packed. Got apps and drinks and will for sure come back again. Cute pics of dogs all over wall. We ordered mahi bites blackened, grilled shrimp and Mac n cheese pie. Then got the banana pudding cake for dessert. Loved it all!
