Great meals and service! We went during Saturday Brunch without a reservation. We had outdoor seating but it was nice because it was covered. I loved the deviled eggs and the shrimp hush puppies are great if you like seafood!
Also worth noting: The cake balls were amazing and there was a nice selection of drinks!
Front door floor is stained/dirty but someone greeted us right away and knew of our reservation. Our server, Rebecca, was great. She was also the bartender and makes a helluva drink. Appetizers were delicious. Entrees did not have the same great taste of appetizers but still decent.
Restaurant itself was warm but we were seated near kitchen..had a little bit of a smell as well.
Overall, we’ll be back to try the things we didn’t get to this time.
Food and drinks were amazing. The server was awesome, she even brought the bartender out to make sure our drink was made to perfection. We substituted the parmesan cheese for goat cheese on the brussel sprouts and they were super delicious. We also ordered the honey Sriracha sweet potatoes, trash fries, 24 hour pork ribs and the blackened redfish. No complaints. We'll be back!
Copper Restaurant & Dessert Lounge in the Domain has been around for 9 years and I’m just now going. It is right next to California Pizza Kitchen and I really have never noticed. It was a great place to go for happy hour snacks and drinks (and I had to get some dinner too). I got a peach whiskey and margarita flight with some biscuits and Brussel sprouts. I finished off the evening with a bacon wrapped pork tenderloin. The sprouts and biscuits were so good!! And I was loving the tenderloin medallions. First time going but I’ll be back!!!
Outstanding choice for my Birthday lunch. Not from the area we took a shot on this spot and - zero regrets. The street corn salad- fantastically fresh and delicious. I subbed the fried chicken in place of the grilled and it was amazing. Since we were celebrating- I had the chocolate martini- and enjoyed every last drop! Brussels sprouts for appetizer very good as well. Entire experience was great. My husbands shrimp and grits were super and the old fashioned cocktail also a thumbs up. I recommend- all of these items and a stop at the dessert counter if you have room.
Favorite brunch spot ever! We have a friend who works here that urged us to go a while back and I’ve been obsessed ever since!
I love that you can get a bottle of champagne and a variety of juices for $10 - the mimosas are a must when you come here.
I usually always get the fried chicken and biscuits(+gravy) and it’s top tier, the meat is juicy and flavorful, skin crispy and just wonderful. Another go-to, is the truffled deviled eggs with a sauce that will make you want more than just the 2.5 eggs that the order comes with!
My most recent visit, I finally branched out, got the shrimp & grits, and was blown away. The dish was a bit spicy and had a nice Cajun taste with jumbo shrimp and the Cake balls are incredible and you can’t really go wrong with any flavor that you pick.
I may be biased but I really do think that the staff are rockstars because it is always completely booked when we go on Sundays and they handle it so well and it never decreases the quality of service.
This is my second time coming to Copper and I certainly wasn't disappointed! The service was great and so was the food. We got trash fries(without jalapenos or onions) and they were awesome, not mushy and just the right amount of queso. For dinner, I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and sausage jalapeno gravy. The chicken was moist and the breading was crispy. It wasn't soaked in oil and the dish was super heavy like I was going to be in a carb coma for the night. The mashed potatoes were delicious and so was the gravy. My boyfriend got the shepherds pie and it was full of amazing flavor. Only complaint was that it could use more meat in it. For dessert, we decided on the copper duo which is two desserts and two cake pops. We went with the cinnamon roll bread pudding, blueberry pie sundae, red velvet cake ball and Italian creme cake ball. Hands down the bread pudding was the best. It was one of the best desserts I've had. The blueberry pie sundae was also great, it had a lot of great flavors to it and a ton of ice cream! The Italian creme cake ball had a great flavor with strong coconut flavors if you like that. The red velvet cake ball was very bland in our opinion and the white chocolate coating overpowered any taste of red velvet. Overall it was an excellent dinner and definitely recommend.
Good variety of desserts. Waiter was friendly and attentive.
I had the 2 course dessert + 2 cake balls.
The Nutella balls were delicious.
They were out of the cinnamon roll and another dessert. Apparently a busy weekend.
-1 star for dirty tasting tea. The waiter did apologize though.
Will try again another time and revise rating if items are back in stock and they fix the tea.
BEST FOOD, DRINKS, AND DESSERTS EVER. I think I entered the gates of HEAVEN. Thank you Carson and Isaiah and kitchen staff will be back very soon!!WONDERFUL SERVICE.

Came here for the first time during happy hour and was able to try the tomato and grilled cheese fingers, Brussel sprouts, and lavender goat cheese balls.
For dessert we had the mint, tiramisu, and Italian creme cake balls all very delish.
Our waiter Robert was so lively and entertaining.
We look forward to going back.
Went during happy hour and got half priced tomato bisque and pulled pork sliders.
The bisque was savory and served with two grilled cheese sandwiches cut into strips with an extra melty blend of cheeses.
The pulled pork sliders were served with a delicious coleslaw that balanced moisture and crisp vegetables. The sliders had shallots and a sauce that was not very memorable. A great meal, but the mystery sauce seemed to take away from the BBQ pulled pork.
The interior was very inviting. Most of the tables seemed to set for 1-4 guests but there are a some spaces for groups of up to 6 I'd say.
The staff was very accommodating and attentive. We went at around 4:30pm and enjoyed a moderately busy ambiance. No one that came in after us had to wait for a table.
Beautiful decor, great service, definitely a place to come back to. Will try the desserts next time.
We had a party of 11 around 11:00 on the Saturday morning of ACL weekend. There wasn’t a wait when we got there, but there was when we left, so get there on the earlier side. Service was great!
Here’s what I tried:
- Truffled Breakfast Panini ($14.95): Super good. Wasn’t a fan of the sweet potatoes though. They were definitely boiled. Wish they had been more of a hash.
- Crème Brûlée French Toast ($12.95): Amaaaaazing. So delicious.
My husband got the Southwest Benedict ($14.95) and said that the panini I got was way better.
Convenient if you’re staying in the Domain!

We went in looking for a quick coffee and morning snack and came away pleasantly surprised. If you're into 80's music the atmosphere will be set for you. Music was audible but not loud at all so you can still sing along but still relax. We shared the Southwest Benedict and it was plentiful for two. Sweet potatoes was a welcomed change from your regular potatoes and the pork was moist. The hollandaise sauce wasn't over powering. The bacon was awesome. Ultra crispy but not burnt and not very greasy at all. You get a 5 dollar discount on the cake balls if you eat lunch there so be sure to take advantage of that. Lot of folks were enjoying mimosas with a champagne bottle at their tables so this seems a good place for that but we didn't try it out.
One of my absolute favorite brunch spots in Austin - and I’m a brunchanisto(?). I go to Copper at least twice a month for brunch mostly due to the location in the Domain with easy parking, $10 bottles of bubbly, and their creative cuisines. The price points are very reasonable and competitive for Austin. The servers are informative and attentive. I’d definitely recommend reserving ahead if you’re going because they do have limited seating and more times than none you’ll have to wait. Pro-Tip: Get the Gulf Shrimp Hushpuppies 🤤
Brunch was so yummy and the presentation was pretty! Service could have been a tad better. Waitress was slow, had to be reminded of requests, and then told us they needed the table as we were clearly already getting ready to leave.
For my last dinner in town, I had to treat myself to Copper. I ended up just getting an appetizer, a shared plate, a flight and some cake balls to go. I started with the Fried Goat Cheese Balls, followed by the Crispy Mimosa Chicken Tenders and the Bubble Flight. The Goat Cheese Balls were tangy and crispy and so good. The Mimosa Tenders had a bit of a kick from the garlic chili honey and were amazing. I ended the meal with 6 cake balls, which lasted until my flight home. The winner was the lemon drop. Next time I'm in Austin, I will be back.
Copper had a cool vibe and the dishes we had were undeniably delicious and artful. However, I feel the cost to portion size ratio could improved. Also, the noise during busy times gets to a level where it becomes hard to hear a person on the other side of a small table.
