This is my second trip to Copper Fire Bar & Eatery. The first trip was for lunch, I had a sandwich which was very good. I have just tried them for a dinner. WOW WHAT A MISTAKE! I ordered beef wellington medium. What i received was an over-cooked piece of touch meat with burnt crust and a sauce that almost made me gag. I sent it back and order a hamburger medium, what I received was a extremely well done with a very crisp bun. My spouse ordered Maui Maui. It was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. She just did not eat it. The prices for what they serve is outrageous!We are so sorry this was your experience and hope we took care of things at the time of your visit. We are not the same place. We are a bar with good food and just changed the menu and prices. We hope you will give us another try.

This place isnt fit for a dog...they even charge $1.25 for plain water...after I told the so called waitress that I would share my wifes iced tea she gave me a dirty look and didnt even offer my wife a refill. I have been there before and wasnt impressed then and reluctaantly agreed to give it another try and was I ever disappointed and poed as well.The first time I have the hamburger which was pretty big for 99 cents but this time it was $1.89 and pathetically puny...the only consolation about this pig sty is the huge shrimp...UNLESS U ENJOY CONSESCENDING BEHAVIOR AND FOOD OVERPRICED WITH NO FLAVOR...AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Not bad for a chain restaurant. This one located in Swansea is clean, efficient and the staff is very friendly & accommodating. Good deals when they have them. Bartender is likeable. 1/2 off (some) appetizers during Happy Hour or after 9pm is great snack with friends. Like how fresh everything tastes.

It is a nice restaurant and the food is good. The lunch specials are reasonably priced. However on their dinner menu, they must feel that their steaks are fantastic because of the way they are priced. I had not been there for years because of their pricing, but I found that the lunch menu is much better. Consider lunch, question dinner.

The service in this restaurant was wonderful. Tia was attentive and quick with our order. The food on the other hand was not good at all. The meatloaf was terrible, brussel sprouts way over cooked, the chicken in the salad wad dry as a bone and hard to eat. Great service not great food, not even good food.

Don't judge a book by it cover. It does not look like much on the outside or inside, but the food is really good. My catfish was excellent, and so were my American fries. I liked the salad bar, too. My wife decided to have breakfast, which is served all day. She said it was fine. And our food was cooked to order. We had dessert. My chocolate mousse cake was very flavorful and moist. My wife liked her banana cream pie, except for the crust. Our only problem was our server. She was very good at what she did, but she had a very unpleasant personality and was not friendly at all.

Being from out of state we entered the address of what we THOUGHT was the brewery - 4204 W. Main into our GPS. When we walked in the front door what we found was a restaurant! We noticed the couple that walked in the door just ahead of us was just as confused as we were. The restaruant host walked the couple to a pub adjoining the restaruant and we followed. It's an enclosed patio w/ open screens in front, a bar and tons of tables but has no AC. It was 90 degrees outside and it was unbearablly hot!! A few ceiling fans and one large fan in the back didn't cool it down. We walked out back to check out the beer garden and it's lovely w/ trees, picnic tables, shaded sitting areas, game area w/ cornhole and other games, a play area for kids and a small deck w/ misters. The outside bar was staffed but did not carry all their beers and did not offer flights, so we walked back inside to the stifling pub and took a seat at the empty bar. Even tho there were guests at just 2 tables, 3 staff members kept walking by us and we were ignored for over 10 min before a bartender finally showed up; saying he's covering both bars. Since the outside bar was staffed by a female, I'm guessing there is a bar inside the restaurant too. The bartender immediately left to get us a food menu even tho we didn't ask for food, it's apparent they push their food. Due to the oppressive heat, we had to move to a table near an open door to get a slight breeze. The friendly bartender took our beer flight order (were out of 2 beers) and shared some basic info on the beers. The beers were Ok, nothing jumped out at us altho it's all a matter of preference. Being so hot, our cold beers quicky turned warm.. yuk! We did not order any food. Our bartender shared that the restauant / original brewery was sold to new owners and they got to keep the name and serve 4204's beer. He said they have a great relationship with the brewery. I'm thinking if they had such a great relationship, there would be a sign out front stating this is NOT the real brewery anymore and would list the real brewery's address - 6435 W. Main Street, a short distance down the street. And if they really want to promote 4204's beers, their pub would have a/c in summer to proivde a comfortable drinking experience. Overall it was dissapointing experience. Just want a 4204 brew? Go to the brewery new instead.

Always have a great experience with steak out! Their food is delicious and the people working there have always been friendly. The portion sizes could be a little bigger for what you pay. I can buy an entire package of chicken breasts for half of what it costs for that meal. I feel as if you should get 2 breasts in that meal. Other then that no complaints at all. I will continue to eat there!! Thanks for your kind words and the four star review, Jason! We sincerely appreciate your business and you taking the time to share your feedback with us. Keep in mind that if you come to pick up your meal, a tea is included in the price. We hope you'll order from us again in the near future!Sincerely,Steak-Out

Don't leave - it's worth the wait.No disappoints for our party of 6. We started with the Smoked Salmon Flatbread. Absolutely yummy. Several of us had the fish tacos. The tuna taco had a great flavor profile. Cod Taco was great and the Basil Pesto Gnocchi was delicious. I would return in a heart beat - heard the three cheese tater tots are awesome/Waitstaff was friendly and the food was all served together.

My hubby and I both had the French Dip Sandwich and it was decent, but nothing to rave about. It was huge and only comes a la carte. I would prefer a smaller sandwich with a side option such as salad or fries (which are not on the menu at all). If you like sweet Italian dressing then give their salad a try. The menu is sparce. If you have picky people in your party, there's not much to choose from. Many people in the area love this place, but we were not impressed. The service was mediocre too.
