The food steals the show at this restaurant! I had the Brussels sprouts and the short rib appetizer, which were both phenomenal.
The only thing that was a bit lackluster was the service. Even though it wasn’t particularly busy, our waiter was seldom there and we had to wait a while when we needed his services.
But all in all, I am still excited to return soon!
I haven't enjoyed a dinner out as much as this one for a few months! Just delicious and a wonderful combination of tastes in my salmon dish. Their side of fries is just outstanding, still crispy after half an hour!
Always a great experience, and today's visit was no different. I had the salmon salad, which came in a generous portion. Great selection of beers on tap. They also serve everyone free popcorn, which is a nice touch. Server was friendly and took great care of us!
Good selection of house beers. The food prices are a bit on the higher side though some dishes are quite tasty. The Salmon is good, Chicken is okay as well. The sides especially the Brussel Sprouts and Asparagus are really good!
Best to make reservations in advance or get there really early if you want patio seating. We had to wait 40 minutes on a Wednesday evening for the latter, though the food and beer overall made up for it.
While there’s no parking at the restaurant, there are several parking garages nearby that don’t charge. It’s a comfortable environment that probably has a nightlife, although I went for lunch. The waiter was friendly so no issues. I had the farmers salad that satisfied me and wasn’t pricey. Overall a good deal.
We enjoyed this place. We had a couple drinks and the chocolate cake. The cake seemed like it was thawed out. Decor was nice. Good local beer selection. I would recommend this place. UPDATE: We went back for dessert. We tried the apple pie, chocolate Mousse with brownie, and banana split. They were all very good. UPDATE: We tried the chicken sandwich, salad, chili and baked brie. All were good.
I love this place and have been there many times as it is walking distance from where I live. The food is consistently good and I love that they have moonshine cocktails on the menu. I typically get the braised ribs grilled cheese with fries (perfect width and texture) or sometimes I substitute for a side of brussel sprouts. I have also had their Mac and cheese and most recently I tried a salad with grilled chicken (chicken cost extra) and the food was tasty as always. They also bring you a cup of popcorn to snack on until your food is ready. This is one of my favorite places in shirlington!
A third visit to Copperwood Tavern found me and a college friend enjoying a great dinner. Brunch, hands down, is the better menu. On this evening I had the surf & turf “special” of ribeye and shrimp. The server recommended ordering a side, so I did and I wanted to try the macaroni & cheese. It was more than enough food (took some home) and the macaroni & cheese was delicious. A star for sure. My friend raves about the brussels sprouts.
My visit to Copperwood Tavern was truly enjoyable. The tavern offered an amazing selection of beers, perfect for beer enthusiasts. The ambiance was on point, creating a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. What really stood out was the exceptional service – fast, efficient, and attentive. If you choose to sit in the bar area, you're in for a treat with their amazing popcorn bucket, adding a fun and tasty touch to your experience. Overall, Copperwood Tavern is a must-visit for those looking for a great beer selection, fantastic service, and a wonderful ambiance.
This was my 1st time trying this restaurant , we were looking for a spot that is dog friendly and yes they are ! Great spot and amazing waiter his name was Elias he was kind enough to bring the table a Keylime Coconut cheesecake it was pretty good . I got the short ribs as starters was amazing they should have that as a full portion meal. My dinner I did the Tavern burger great choice if you are feeling a burger , my daughter got the grilled cheese sandwich she loved it . Oh and the French fries are amazing as well . My buddy got the oysters his only concern they were pretty small, Truffle mac and cheese was pretty good. Overall give this spot a try it is definitely worth it 👍🏼.

Such a great restaurant in the heart of Shirlington with a log cabin atmosphere and complimentary popcorn! I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised with what my choices of favourites after having dinner here.
To begin,they have a great menu and it was quite hard for us to choose items so we decided to share things.
All 3 of us got a glass of wine and choose 4 apps; Goat cheese w/jalapeño honey, Mussels, Fried green tomatoes & crab deviled eggs. We also got the steak & Brussels salad as well as the chicken and Lamb "shank". Ended the evening with dessert which again, had a difficult time making a decision so we choose 3 LOL.
Key lime, chocolate mousse & banana split all of which was in Mason jars and really cute.
🌸 Mussels: 10/10 sauce was perfect & would come back here just for this
🌸 Fried green tomats: 10/10 Perfectly done
🌸 Banana split dessert: 10/10 flavour is on point and easy to eat
🌸 Steak & Brussel salad: 10/10 everything was good & went well together
🌸 Key lime dessert: 10/10 refreshing & tasty
🌸 Chocolate mousse:9/10 compared to the other 2 desserts was just okay, would have again though and not as sweet
🌸 Goat cheese/jalapeño honey: 9/10 wish they were smaller little bites of cheese
🌸 Brown butter chicken: 9/10 good chicken dish
🌸 Crab deviled eggs: 8/10 Quality is good, but bacon was overwhelming the crab
🌸 Lamb shank: 7/10 wouldn't get it again, if you like Lamb meat/leg you'll probably like this but I didn't love it lol
Overall I'll say copperwood is a 10/10 from the ambiance, service and overall food. I'll 100% be back for the apps/salads/drinks/desserts and probably try some different ala cart entrées next time!

First time here and pleasantly surprised. Food and service were very good.
Brie board and Farmers salad amazing!! Cocktail “southern sparkler” delicious as well. Great location and beautiful ambiance, but I have only been here twice over the years and remember both times service and food arrival being terribly slow. Forgotten orders, up to 5 minutes for water and table popcorn. Even longer for food order. If you’re in a hurry maybe not the best place. Overall ambiance great and quality ingredients fantastic.
Met a friend for lunch in Village at Shirlington. Copperwood Tavern was one of a handful of restaurants offering outdoor seating (& with heaters).
The food & service (thanks, Jake!) were very good though my burger was a bit undercooked. Popcorn is served as a starter & the fried goat cheese with jalapeno honey was mind blowingly good!! Overall, a great experience.
I have eaten at a lot of places and breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Farm to table restaurants specializing in fresh local ingredients is my preference. I can say hands down that this is by far my most absolute favoritest😁 breakfast/brunch spot! 8 literally scheduled my next brunch while eating!! Customer service is amazing and the wait staff was very attentive! Tiffany was almost reading my mind😁 Above and beyond service and food was also above amazing. I spoke to the manager Giselle, and she stated that a lot of stuff is made in house. Kudos to Copperwood for maintaining exceptional service in the midst of this pandemic! Keep up the great work!!! See you again in 2weeks for my girls brunch!!
The atmosphere is nice. The staff was friendly. Some dishes were outstanding and were some okay. Ribeye was standard; I've had better. Ribeye sandwich was outstanding! Drinks and Desserts were awesome. Parking is not the best, but after work hours and weekends, it is free.
