The stuffed pepper soup was SO good. Everything was good from the meat loaf, mashed potatoes in gravy and green beans and patty melt

Wow!! Hidden GEM in Waterford you need to try. All food is made fresh and from scratch. Check out Mary’s Beef Pasty’s! Truly amazing and delicious! Yes she adds rutabagas, just like in Cornwall. Her crust is thin and delicious, she used a marble rolling pin and a metal table to make it so thin. Loved the Goulash as well. See a picture of their amazing Mary!!

I've been going to copperstone about 10 years or so, this is my favorite place to go when I'm able to, I used to get there more when I lived closer but I have moved and have not had much opportunity since, I've been a regular supporter and have gotten to know the staff well, the staff are very friendly and professional, and the owner is usually there also, I have usually gotten a seat immediately and the service is usually quick depending on how busy it is, the food is really good and they have different specials at different times, it's a really nice atmosphere it is set up as an old type of diner. I highly recommend the cakes which are made by Mary who is in her 90s and has been making them since the opening of the restaurant. Highly recommend copperstone.
