Copper Monkey West - Gainesville

My first time and I was very impressed with food and service. Our server Rhiannon was a great young lady, very attentive and very friendly. The food was great, tasteful and beautiful and hot. My biggest animal cake is when my food is warm. Great service all around. Very recommended.

I love the buffalo wings. I recommend getting them breaded. The mild sauce has just enough spice to make them great without the burn of the hot wings. My husband loves the grid pork cutlets.

Hadn't been here in a while.. food is good. And the staff are always friendly.they have a bar next door. I am big fan of their burgers and chicken basket!!

Copper Monkey is a well known bar and restaurant here near Gainesville/Jonesville that has been around a long time. The food was delicious and beers were ice cold. It's with disappointment that I have to write this bad review, but something has changed in the past few months and it's not good like in earlier times. Our appetizer and dinners were terrible last night. We ALWAYS order the fried gizzards. This time the entire wax paper was loaded with grease. They were hard and chewy like rubber balls. Nothing like they used to be. I ordered their new homemade Buffalo Mac and cheese with medium chicken strips. There was barely any sauce on the strips. What made it worse was the Mac and cheese was very dry. The blue cheese crumbles in the middle were melted. The inside of the food was hot while the outside was cold. A big clue the entire meal was microwaved . Spaghetti and meatballs were average at best. There was an odd square of melted mozzarella cheese on top that also looked microwaved. Why not just sprinkle some fresh Parmesan? We also ordered two ****** Mary's and two draft beers. The beer was cold, but for $8.00 per ****** Mary we would expect some fresh garnish. Instead we each got an old flat piece of celery. Our waitress assured us the Assistant Manager behind the bar knew how to make a great drink. It tasted ok but nothing better than I could make at home. We will not go back to this restaurant unless their kitchen gets overhauled and starts serving food like in the past.

Good lunch spot! My mom and I got a Jerk Chicken Caesar Wrap w/ fries $12), a Philly Cheesesteak w/ fries $13), a lemonade $3), and a sweet tea $3). Both dishes came out hot and were really flavorful. I wouldn't say there was anything unique about the food, but it is definitely good! It's exactly what you want in a lunch spot, no more or less. We went around 12 on a Monday, so it wasn't too busy. We were seated immediately and waited about 15 mins for food after ordering. There's also a bar side one door down if that's more your vibe. Overall, I was happy with my visit! I wouldn't drive across town for it, but if you're in the area it's worth a try.
