★★★☆☆ 3.0 Stephanie Ayersman · Mar 2026

We tried coopers on 5th for our first time. Had reservations at 745 and when we arrived they said it would be 15 minutes but we could wait outside or go across the street. We opted to go across the street to another establishment owned by the same person, the Winchester, which was a super neat place just with awkward service. We were over there for 30 minutes before getting the text our table was ready. We went to the restaurant and were seated promptly with an appetizer on the house for the wait, which wasn't expected but was a nice gesture. We got the key lime pie mule and a cocktail with flower in the name. The key lime pie mule was fabulous and tasted exactly like key lime pie in a cup. The floral drink was beautifully presented but not what was expected. We got the crab/spin/artichoke

★★★★☆ 4.0 Madison Corey · Aug 2025

Started with the cheese curds, ended with a Cubano and the Chicken Philly. First, the cheese curds were DIVINE. I’m a little shocked they aren’t permanently on the menu. The cubano was well liked. Four stars because the Chicken Philly is a little weird; you can tell by the photo that it’s just a chicken breast with melted cheese. Flavor was pretty good but it was just an odd meal and presentation. Overall, this place is darling. We sat outside but the inside has a perfect romantic ambiance. Would definitely go back.

Definitely worth checking out!!! We loved the ambience and atmosphere. Food was outta of the park. We had the egg rolls and a Cubano sandwich. Our waitress was super friendly and checked on us several times. Highly recommended

★★★★★ 5.0 Anthijuan Beeks · Dec 2025

I came all the way from Minnesota. 1st time here, as we celebrated a birthday. I can't say enough about this place. It was absolutely amazing. The manager outstanding. Our waitress, she was nice, pregnant could have done a bit better but things were good. A beautiful place and I highly recommend it.

★★★★★ 5.0 Teresa Cruise · Apr 2025

I liked the specialty sandwich menu as well as the different side options. The burgers for lunch were huge, making the higher prices more worth the spend. I personally didn't love the loaded potato salad, but the zucchini fries were a good choice. The liquor and mixed drink selections were amazing, and the waiter/bartender definitely handled the full house very well. Great atmosphere. The biggest downfall was having to wait for a table, especially if someone couldn't sit on high chairs, limiting the table space. However, they do take reservations. Thank goodness for the nice parking lot accessed from the back alley.
