Reviews for The Copper Penny Bar in Vandalia, IL
Everyone in my party was very pleased with their meals. Bar food done right! Limited menu but what they have is done well.
Great food, excellent service. Some limits on availability, they ran out of pickles, tartar sauce and bacon, but what they did... have available was tasty! Read more
My son took me in for a after lunch drink. Absolutely loved it. We were greeted like family. Never been there before, so very... nice. Owner and I have the same name, spelled different, we had a really nice time. Really good drink she made me. Hahaha,want another. Thanks Em. Read more
Delicious food and we were able to sit on the patio next door because we had a big crowd. Peach Sangria was delicious and the... atmosphere was very nice. Read more
Typically love the bourbon boneless wings. Tried to call an order in Friday evening, line answered (I could hear how busy they... were) genial asked if I could ?hold? just a minute, I politely agreed. 18 minutes of ?holding? listening to staff upset over allkinds of things and enough F words to sail the seas, I decided to hang up. I knew that was a terrible idea because the phone hadclearly been forgotten so it would not be hung up to clear the line. I continued trying to call for another 45 minutes or so andthe line remained ?busy?. I ventured to their website and decided I would try an online order (I prefer to not utilize thismethod personal payment preference) after about 10 minutes I was successful in getting the order placed. It then took another 18minutes for my order to be confined. Once confirmed it was ready ahead of anticipated time (the only ?win? of the evening)unfortunately the food quality was just very poorly executed. Fried Pickles - soggy, in big clumps, and more pea size lumps ofbreading than pickles. Bourbon boneless wings - dry, half naked when it came to sauce, overcooked. Garlic Fries - soggy,undercooked, and wayyyyy too much Parmesan (they were literally gritty). Garlic Parm boneless wings - overcooked, and odly overdressed (gritty like the fries from the parm). I can understand busy and that?s great for the business. This was just a reallypoor customer experience and the food was just far below average expectations based on past experiences. Read more
Great place to stop for lunch with the kids. They practiced pool skills while we waited on our food. I had the Old Mule and my... husband and son had the Smashburger and kid's burgers and other kids had chicken strips. Good solid lunch stop after taking inthe Statehouse. Read more
The patio was reserved for a private party, which was very disappointing because it seems like the most appealing part of this... restaurant. It seemed like they needed more tables in the second room too. The bar was average and the bathrooms were fine. Inmy opinion, if you run a bar that sells wings then you should have buffalo sauce. This place did not. Read more
This was my first time going here. Food was great! Really enjoyed it. I will definitely be back. I like the menu options. I had... the carnitas wrap....yummy! Everything sounded good. I can't wait to try the rest Read more
