My wife and I ventured out of our vanilla Ballantyne neighborhood on Saturday morning in search of something more nostalgic and homey than the sterile chains in our area. Thanks to Yelp reviews, we discovered the Kopper Kettle in Pineville. What a refreshing experience!
Yes it's old. The booths are wooden and the art work ancient but the food was reasonable and perfectly prepared. I went simple... Two fried eggs, three strips of lean, crispy bacon, grits, two biscuits and coffee.. all for $7.29. Everything was great. My wife was more adventurous and ordered the Greek omelet which was huge and loaded with feta cheese, olives and onions. It was moist and impeccably prepared.
Finally the service was exemplary and warm. I would have been disappointed if our waitress didn't call me honey. I loved the fact that the joint was also filled with regulars. Overall it was a wonderful experience and one I hope to repeat.
