Haven't had a thing at Copper Penny that I didn't love. They cater to my dietary needs. Also the gluten free buns are delicious. Try the fritters, you won't regret it!

Julio was our server and he was outstanding! He made sure to take good care of my friend who can only eat gluten-free food, and he was very knowledgeable about the way the food is cooked. He also had a cute sense of humor and made our meal much more fun than it would have been without him! Everything we ordered was fantastic, and the portions were so large that we were able to bring a lot home to eat again later! I highly recommend the fresh guacamole!

My son and I recently visited their new location. They have so much to offer! I was very excited to find that they offer gluten-free and dairy-free options! It's so hard to find local places that offer that. The menu is unique and there are many options to choose from. My son absolutely loved his milkshake. They have some board games and a dart board you can play with too. The gift shop has all kinds of interesting items. Their prices are cheaper than Amazon. All of the employees are very friendly and helpful. Our family plans to visit as much as possible 😀

I am very happy with the price of this. All of the portions were really big and the food was fresh and tasty. They can make accommodations to the rules if you were allergic to something within them, and I did not end up having an issue with allergies. Their fish sauce is gluten-free if anybody is wondering. The service was very quick and the food tasted wonderful. I tried their new Vietnamese bowl and I loved it. EDIT: I loved the vientnamese bowl so much I went back twice. 10/10 recommend the chicken. This might be my favorite thing ever.

This was my first time here, even though I live three miles away! It did not disappoint. They have several gluten free options, including delicious scones. I also had their seasonal latte, which was called sweater weather.
