Copper Creek Restaurant

My husband said the Aged Steak was good. I Requested "GRILLED" Crab cakes 🦀 and they were GREAT!!! I'm ALLERGIC to Shrimp. I asked if they fry everything in the same Fryer, she said "Yes,"😬 That's why I requested grill Crab cakes. I pray they change this becauseIreally like French Fries.😃 I wanted Fried Catfish AND the Crab Cakes. The Molten Lava cake wasn't much "Lava" (chocolate) so it was a little dry but good flavor. The server was good and very helpful. This restaurant made us feel like we were in Alaska, very welcoming as "Copper Creek is when we go fishing." Thank you Chef and the entire Abilene, TX Copper Creek Restaurant TEAM.

Funny enough, we didn't even know this place existed until today. Found it in a Google search. Very friendly and pleasant staff. Nice menu selections. Great food and good service. The restaurant still looks fairly new, but found out it was 18 years old. The stuffed chicken was just wonderful. The grilled chicken had great seasoning and was cooked just right. The chocolate cake though, you have to try this. If you like chocolate, even just a little bit, this is for you. Wonderful!!

I love the food here, but the atmosphere can use some updating. It's why we don't visit as often. I don't know many people who enjoy looking at trophy kills/taxidermy while eating with their families. It's such a dated and creepy decor for a restaurant. I ordered the Cedar Salmon with asparagus, and it was delicious! Great smoky flavor, and even with ordering salmon medium-well, it wasn't dry at all. We ordered the coconut shrimp app, and, wow, it was a texture and flavor bomb! It came with 3 HUGE butterfly shrimp. Perfect amount of crunchy shredded coconut batter. The shrimp was not overcooked, and the texture was soft and not too chewy. The chili sauce had a mild kick to it, and the flavor was great. I would order 2 of those as my meal next time! My husband ordered the special of the day, which was a chicken cordon bleu. It had a hatch chili gravy that he loved. Excellent!

Atmosphere gets a perfect 10. This is a laid back yet upscale country western restaurant. Wear your starched Jean's or Sunday best. Either way dining here is an experience everyone must have at least twice in their life. All food is a-la-cart so you can customize your dinner. Steaks are cooked exactly as you order so you dont have to grumble or send it back for a redo. Portions are big. Well worth the money. (Be prepared to pay about $30 per person ).Staff comes back in a very timely manner. Upon hearing it was my birthday,the manager presented me with the best Happy Birthday chocolate cake ever !!!! Oh my goodness !! They have child menus,large parking lot ,wheelchair reserved spaces right up front . Dine in or take out. The dining room/bar area is to the right when you first enter and is upscale decorated as well. The outside dining area is open hot or cold . I've been there during a cold snap and it actually made it more romantic. A lovely lady was singing at the outside piano/bar area. So for a fun night or date night or just to get away day, Copper Creek is the best gem in that county. Hats off to you for getting it right !
