Cozy tavern style setting with amazing food. Noisy in a good way. They played Bruce Springsteen a couple of times in the background :)

Had a great burger and love their drink menu. It's not a big restaurant so you may need reservations but that makes it more intimate. It does get a bit loud to carry on a conversation. Try their daily specials!

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.

A very cozy atmosphere. Food was good,but the burgers were a little dry. Our waiter was very attentive,and I received an awesome chocolate lava cake as a birthday gift.

My wife and I have celebrated many occasions here for years, but when we arrived for our anniversary this year we were told we would need to set at a hightop table. There was a booth available. We will not be back.

Cooper's is the first place to take a business visitor from out of town. There isn't a bad choice on the menu, and it's a refreshing change of pace from going to a steakhouse by lazy default. And always get the egg roll of the day.

Food and service were great! Surprised the menu consisted of misspelled Caesar and the featured menu misspelled cinnamon.

We stopped for lunch. Good soup and sandwich options. Nice selection of beer, wines and mixed drinks. It was a ham and Swiss cheese melt.

Food was pretty bland and was horribly hot like the heater was running. It was 70 outside. Service was great and people real friendly.

Would give this zero stars if I could. Arrived after work with my colleagues but was turned away because we didn't have reservations. They had four open tables that we could have clearly sat at. Not the place to go if you actually have a job where you get dirty. Vary disappointed in this establishment.

First time visit to Coopers in the quaint downtown of Junction Valley. A lot of artsy, antique shops and boutiques. Coopers fits right in, it has about a dozen tables so make a reservation.

Food was very good and creative. I strongly recommend if you are in the area. I had the steak and ale pie shown in the picture. My wife had the braised short ribs. Appetizer was a hamburger egg roll and huge cuts of fried zucchini.

Every dish/drink we got just seemed like this was trying to do too much…

I regularly dine at places of this nature in major cities and this was a disappointment. The crab dip appetizer was extremely salty, especially the pita chips. The seafood ravioli was overly salty and had an extreme amount of Parmesan cheese (felt like the only thing you could taste). The short ribs were solid but nothing great for their signature dish.

Overall, food was fine but I like to dine with a drink and was left disappointed. The lemon old fashioned was extremely sweet and couldn’t taste the Woodford reserve (one of my personal favorites). The “two idiots walk into a bar” drink was good for a couple sips then the flavors of the drink were just off putting. “Look at the flowers” drink tasted like perfume. The lemon, Malbec, and egg white (I can’t remember the name) drink was also just do too much.

The bartender consistently made a face of distaste with every single thing we ordered. Not sure what that was about…

Only critical to improve the success of the business. Take care
