Customer Reviews
It is a nice warm cozy place with a unigue old style ceiling cooling fans. Our daughter in law brought us here for lunch. I had the hamburger with a side of garden greens with a Vinagarette dressing. It was very good! I also had the Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet. It too was good. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our daughter in law had the Reuber and really enjoyed it.
Great location. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Great menu. Friendly server. Service a little slow. Poutine disappointing (dry unsalted fries, one big lump of cheese making sharing difficult, not enough gravy) but the rest of the food was enjoyed.
The food was spectacular. I had the special, it was ham stuffed chicken filet wrapped in bacon on top of rosemary cavatappi and my wife had the seafood pasta. The service was excellent too. She made sure everything was satisfactory the whole time we were there.
Food-- burger itself had a uniquely delicious flavor. . It shouldn't come with bacon included. Bacon should be an optional add-on for an extra fee. If I ask for no bacon, they won't reduce the cost. Personally I find bacon to be overated. It overpowers everything it is paired with and I'm not particularly into its smoky flavor. I prefer to enjoy the taste of cheeseburger. This cheeseburger deserves to stand alone. Regarding atmosphere and service: I get that a party of 2 would be seated at a smaller table in order to save the bigger tables for parties of 3+. However, when the restaurant is half full and past its busiest time of the night, with numerous larger tables available, it would be better to seat even parties of 2 at the tables that aren't crammed together like sardines.

I was so excited to finally experience Cooper's Tavern with a gift card I received. Reading positive reviews and seeing how busy it was, my hopes were really high for a fantastic meal. We sat outside to avoid a wait to be seated. We started with some good cheese curds, which were a promising start. Isabelle was our server and she explained some items on the menu, which I had questions about. For my main, I decided on the pork belly mac and cheese (without blue cheese) after much deliberation. Sadly, after a rather long wait, the dish was a major letdown. It was surprisingly bland, and even the three pork cubes on top lacked any flavor. Despite being very hungry, I couldn't bring myself to finish it. It's a shame when expectations don't meet reality. I explained to Isabelle when she notice
