Review Kopper Kitchen - St. Petersburg

Frankie Painter

I love this small Mom & Pop type of place. Old yet charming decor and super efficient, attentive, nice waitresses. Food was delivered quickly and was delicious! Very reasonable prices. We will definitely return!

I've been eating here for decades. Every time I come visit Florida my first meal of the day is spent here. The food is always fresh and delicious and the staff is top notch. I love everything about Kopper Kitchen, especially the sprouts they put on their sandwiches, so very yummy.

A nice cozy diner. The staff was excellent and very attentive. My daughter had the pumpkin pancakes which she loved. Will definitely be back!!!

We only ordered a basic breakfast. The restaurant is bigger on the inside than I thought. The parking lot was very tight for the way it’s set up for the spaces. Lots of space which I like if I was eating in but we did take out. The order was ready when I arrived and I was only right around the corner. The lady at the front was very pleasant and friendly. I liked the personal touch of putting jelly in little cups but it was only enough for half my order of toast. The eggs were done perfectly but the corn beef hash I asked for crispy on one side and it was not. We asked for ketchup for the hash browns we did not receive any. I did like the plastic plate covered with foil instead of styrofoam but the way it was boxed to carry out was awkward and loose for the drive back. The grits were stuck together and cold and as was my Order of bacon (cold). The bacon was very thin and not cooked long enough. I didn’t eat the side of bacon or the other half of the toast because there wasn’t enough jelly. Unfortunately we will still keep looking for a takeout breakfast diner in the Gulfport/Central Ave area.

Best breakfast in town. Veggie Benedict all the way! If you’re looking for home cooking at a good price, this place is a must! Something for everyone, vegetarians included. Been coming here for years and the service and food are always top notch. If you make it there on a Saturday, try the German potato pancakes!! There is a reason families have been coming here for generations. Businesses like this are what helps make a community special.

My family & I have come to this restaurant off & on for years, and we have always had a positive experience. So it saddens me to write this review as today we had a very negative experience. First of all, the hostess waived us to sit at a table of our choice without bothering to find out that we were ordering the food to go. We waited as she answered a phone call immediately afterwards, and she took a very long time before acknowledging us. While she was still on the phone, another older white adult male who I gather was another customer as he was holding a bill and cash in his hands, walked up behind me & stood inappropriately close behind me, as though to push me out of the way. I stayed put in front of the hostess at the register with my son while we waited for her to finish her phone call. I politely looked at the gentleman to see why he was standing so close behind me that his body was almost up against mine! I assumed that the hostess would address the gentleman's inappropriate behavior by asking him to step back while he waited. But she never even once acknowledged the situation. Then she referred to my son as a lady when he is dressed as a male, looks like a male, & even had stubble on his face. She never once apologized nor made any other comment or acknowledgement for referring to him as a female. Then we placed our orders to go, but we made 2 separate orders. When my son went to pay via card, he asked about the tap feature, and instead of acknowledging or addressing his question, she snagged his card out of his hands, never even bothered to ask him if he was comfortable with that or not, given the pandemic and unnecessary touching of other peoples property when he could have just tapped the card himself which would not have required her to take his card out of his hands, and then she swiped it on a completely different device hanging around her neck, and AFTER he paid the TOTAL amount he owed for TAKE OUT, she then proceeded to ask him if he wanted to give her extra money! We drove there to pick up the food so it was not delivered, we were NOT being served by any waiter to tip, she basically just asked him for his money for no service, in ADDITION to the money he had already paid for his food. This is UNACCEPTABLE and was my final straw! She was completely out of line asking him to tip HER for ordering our food to go! Tips are for servers, whether a waitress/waiter serving us if we were dining in, or if someone was delivering our food. But I have NEVER experienced a hostess asking for additional money when going to a restaurant to order food to go! After we paid what we owed, the hostess then took the bill from the gentleman standing behind me who remained almost up against my body that entire time! After he paid, he basically stormed passed me almost pushing me from where I stood, and gave me a very entitled dirty look. Again the hostess was witness to this and never once addressed it, nor apologized for the situation, nor addressed the gentleman's inappropriate behavior! We stepped to the side while we waited for them to prepare our food, and when she brought us our food, her entire demeanor towards me was very rude & condescending! I was polite the entire time we were there. There was no excuse for this level of poor customer service! I don't know if Kopper Kitchen is under new management or has a new owner, but it's not the same friendly Kopper Kitchen that me and my family so fondly remembered. Oh, and the portion size of their home fries was much smaller than it used to be. All in all, this was a very unpleasant experience!

Service was great! Eggs were cooked just as requested. Soft scrambled. Bacon crispy. Yummy hash browns. Been around for years. Reliable. Dependably good food!

Great atmosphere; fantastic hot coffee; I had the feta, onion and tomato omelet which was beyond delicious. It was my first time dining here. Make certain to eat here if you're nearby. Staff was fabulous.
