I recently dined at Copper Rock Steakhouse and had an overall pleasant experience. The atmosphere was lovely—warm, welcoming, and sophisticated, making it an ideal spot for both casual and special occasions. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, taking care of everything quickly and efficiently, which really enhanced the dining experience. The standout of the meal was definitely the buffalo shrimp. It was flavorful, perfectly crispy on the outside, and had just the right amount of heat. I highly recommend it if you're visiting! The bread served at the start of the meal was also fantastic—warm, soft, and great for dipping. As for the main courses, the blackened tuna was good but didn’t quite wow me. It was cooked well but felt a bit understated in terms of flavor. The pasta, unfortunately, was quite plain and lacked the richness I was hoping for. All in all, Copper Rock Steakhouse offers a great dining experience with a few highlights. I would definitely return for the buffalo shrimp and to enjoy the inviting atmosphere.

Some of the food was amazing, and others fell short of the mark. The surf and turf (filet minion & lobster tail) was amazing, cooked to perfection and delicious. The roasted chicken had good flavor but was dry. Truffle fries and mashed potatoes were basic and bland. The bread and butter that shows up first were amazing! All-in-all, the food was good, but prices were a little steep for what you get, but I will definitely try it again. We got donuts as a gift for visiting on our anniversary, and they were fire!

Food was delicious. Service was exceptional. We will definitely be back! I would highly recommend ordering a cocktail with your dinner as their signature cocktails were dynamite my favorite was the espresso martini.

As much as I don’t like the casino atmosphere I won’t dock them for it. The atmosphere in the actual restaurant is great. The service is phenomenal by all the staff. The bread basket was really good lots of different flavors that went very well together. The steaks were cooked exactly as ordered. The fries and truffle ketchup were surprising good as I don’t like truffle normally. The salad was very fresh and the house ranch has to have been some of the best ranch I have ever had.

Went here for my bfs Christmas work dinner. We had such a lovely time. We enjoyed wine, all sorts of appetizers. He had the filet and it was melt in your mouth goodness. Very delicious! The server was really attentive and kind. She took the time to always check on us and make sure we were good with everything. I really enjoyed our dining experience. The atmosphere is very warm and cozy feeling. Obviously a fancy steak house so it's a little on the pricey side but I think it was worth every penny. Hoping to come back for a date night this year!

Whenever I'm at Four Winds Casino New Buffalo, I always make dinner reservations at Copper Rock. I've been eating here for years, and I have yet to be disappointed. All around, just a fantastic place to dine. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. The 10 oz filet is phenomenal, and the 1 & 1/4 lb Alaskan King Crab Legs are insanely good !!!

We had an 8:45 reservation January 18th-2025. The gentleman greeting us with a bread basket and water was informative and pleasant. He said there was more bread to come as it was in the oven. We never obtained that bread basket. Our server was friendly but not attentive. I waited over 20 minutes for a second glass of wine after drinking my first. However, she was on top of it upon serving my date unlimited soda in a timely fashion. Afterwards we were discussing how long it took to have our entrees served. It was 50 minutes and the restaurant wasn’t packed. They served my date first then me, rude and inappropriate. My Dover was cold and my sautéed spinach tasted burnt due to over cooking the garlic. Too expensive for the lack of expertise and quality unfortunately.
