Copper Creek Restaurant

My sisters and I visited Copper Creek Restaurant this afternoon. This is one of the truly higher end restaurants in Abilene. The outside of the restaurant is very nice looking and was clean. When you pass thru the two castle like doors you enter into a hunter’s paradise. Leather and Taxidermy animals everywhere with a giant fireplace in the middle. We were greeted promptly by a well dressed staff member. Our drinks were brought out quickly except my Topo Chico. When it finally came it was poured table side in a wine glass. We started with the Goat Cheese Jalapeño Poppers. O.M.G. so very good. Rates right up there with one of the very best appetizers we ever tasted. The goat’s cheese, bacon, and perfectly cooked jalapeño was silky smooth, crunchy, and slight warm from the pepper. A must try when you visit here. Here is where there was a lot of conflict in the meal we ordered. We all three ordered the chicken fried steak meal. A pounded ribeye that was breaded and fried. It was served with mashed potatoes and a beautiful gravy. Both my sisters were enamored by their meals. They loved the super crunchy batter and perfect mashed potatoes with perfect gravy. I on the other hand was not so besotted by my meal. I felt mine was way too salty and way too much breading. I ended up taking all the breading off and eating the bit of steak that was left. I wasn’t even impressed with the steak. The mashed red potatoes were great and that gravy was phenomenal. I suspect it was a perfectly made bechamel sauce. I could eat that everyday. One of my sisters ordered several drinks and while they were odd pairings of herbs and alcohol it was good. The service and atmosphere was upscale and amazing. Other than myself not liking the chicken fried steak it was very good. I couldn’t give it five stars but it was a high end four.

The food was good and the atmosphere was great. The lunch portions are much smaller than the dinner. I was a little disappointed in the service. I never received a refill of my drink the entire hour I was there. I couldn't ask anyone for a refill because once we received our food we didn't see another server until we flagged someone down to bring the bill so we could leave. I'm sure this was an off day or something. I will give it another try, but I was disappointed this visit.

The Waygu Filet was absolutely amazing. Melted like butter!!! The garlic mashed potatoes were fantastic. Yes it is pricey but it is worth every penny. If you love food then you must visit this place!
