Absolute rip-off. We went Saturday night. Same ole menu...hard to select from...just 'cookie-cutter' menu. We had a hard time selecting. We had a rueben and a burger. We started with wings and onion rings then the entre. We were full from the wings and onion rings, so we boxed up the dinners. On Sunday, I took out the burger and heated it up...gave it to the dogs and they were not interested in eating the meat. I separated the rueben and it was horrible. Ruben was cut in half...each half had one small slice of corned beef, one slice of turkey. one slice of cheese and a few scattered pickles. It was horrible...we got robbed for the meal was not worth the price charged. Not worth the wait on line!!!!!! Will not go back...Sorry for the Wilmington Landmark.

If I am having a bad day I immediately go to the Copper Penny and get the 109 Chestnut chicken sandwich. Greatest sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. Not only is the food amazing but the staff are amazing. in my opinion, if the staff is good, you know the food’s going to be good!!!! The wait can be long, but wait in that line!!! I cannot stress that enough.You will NOT be disappointed. The only time I’ve ever been disappointed by this place is when they discontinued, the sweet potato fries. But overall, it’s worth the wait and it’s worth the stop 12/10 recommend.

Fun place to visit in Wilmington. Much better Pub food than you would think. The 309 sandwich is to die for, crunchy, sub roll with roasted chicken, Saute onions & mushrooms!

Great food and service, that's why I make it a point to come to your establishment when I visit my parents who live here.
Being retired military and North Carolina having such a military history and presents, a military discount would be welcoming. I know as far as I go, I add that discount to my tip for the server ( Maddy/ Mad Dog on receipt, did an EXCELLENT job).
My Thoughts,

Really cool place with good vibe. The food was excellent. The beer battered onion rings are the best I've ever had. The pork sandwich and 109 chicken sandwiches were fantastic. Highly recommend.

Would definitely come back! This place is a fantastic local spot. The fish and chips has a perfect tarter sauce, the southwest chicken wrap may be missing a 🔥(spicy) label but the flavors are great!

Food is good but the wait is long and you feel rushed. Also on the expensive side for what you get.

Good food, nice service, a little loud pub! Burger was outstanding, chicken sandwich good, crab cake sandwich could have been better (lump?!) and the fries were crispy and delicious!

Started out with the Manzana Martini. WOW is first thought. The best drink I've had in years, cinnamon sugar on the rim....game changer. Onion rings were great. Finished of with hot honey wings (I added old bay).

My office orders from Copper Penny a lot. It is our go-to place for our Lunch & Learns. And now that they have delivery, I'm even happier. Food is great. Orders are always correct. The delivery person was excellent.

Just had lunch w a friend of mine and we had such a lovely experience. I had the Reuben w fries. So friggin delicious! The amount of meat in this sammie is top notch! The fries are fresh and perfectly salted. The service was so great as well. Our server was polite and friendly. After we paid the manager (owner?) personally came over and checked in w us and asked about our meal. I thought that was a nice touch. Showed that they care about our experience and took our feedback. All in all I would recommend and will be returning. Also the atmosphere was great as well. I can see this place probably gets super busy on the nights/weekends but we dined on a Tuesday afternoon and it was nice and quiet.
