My brother and I were driving through Vandalia and decided to stop in at The Copper Penny based on the strong reviews, and we were so glad we did. The place is very clean and staff is super friendly. We both tried the Friday fish and chips special, and the fish was so good! I prefer regular fries over the battered fries we got. Not a deal-breaker, just a preference. The beer was also ice cold! A great, off-the-freeway bar and grill I’d highly suggest is worth a stop if you’re driving through Vandalia. Oh, and if you get the chance to catch a train going under the old train bridge, it’s a sight to see.

I’m in town for a wedding and we decided to stop here for lunch. I’m very impressed. All of the food we got from the onion rings to the wings were delicious. The smash burger is easily one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The servers are friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere is open and relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone who has the opportunity.

What a great place in downtown Vandalia! Clean and neat place, friendly helpful staff. Great food, very fair pricing. I will be going back. I usually spend about 5 weekends plus per year.

The patio was reserved for a private party, which was very disappointing because it seems like the most appealing part of this restaurant. It seemed like they needed more tables in the second room too. The bar was average and the bathrooms were fine. In my opinion, if you run a bar that sells wings then you should have buffalo sauce. This place did not.

I stopped here on a whim after an appointment and I will say I was NOT disappointed! It was late afternoon when I arrived and the dinner crowd was just starting to arrive. After seeing the various historical signs downtown, walking in here felt like stepping back in time: the rich wooden plank floor with well worn paths, the warm wood walls, the unique local and historical decor throughout AND the building seems to be built on a hill because the building has a slight angle to it! At first I thought my chair was a little off balance, but I realized it was not my chair after all, but the floor. I don’t know if the building is old, but it sure has an old, inviting and welcoming ambiance! My server greeted me immediately and took my order quickly. I had a burger-don’t get me wrong it was good, but hands-down the pretzel bites with Monterey Jack cheese sauce stole the show! The cheese sauce was melty goodness and the pretzels were a perfect combination of crispy on the outside while still being soft on the inside. This stop was a winning combination of great food, great service and great atmosphere…I will definitely be back at some point to try something else off the menu…along with pretzel bites!

First, CityWide on tap. Second, CityWide on tap. Also, clean, friendly and tasty food. Wish this place was where I lived, but it’ll definitely give me a reason to visit Vandalia.
