Welcome
The Copper Fork
Neighborhood American kitchen & bar
About us
Serving the neighborhood since 2009
The Copper Fork started as a corner diner and grew into the neighborhood's living room. We cook honest American food from scratch, pour a serious cocktail, and treat every guest like a regular — because most of them are.

Dietary & allergies
*please confirm with your server*For each, what to avoid or what’s good to order.
Gluten
What's OKLots of options — the burger comes on a GF bun, and the blackened catch and brussels are naturally gluten-free. Ask your server.
Vegan
What's OKThe wild mushroom pasta can be made vegan, and the peach salad goes vegan without the burrata.
Vegetarian
What's OKBrussels, pimento cheese, fried pickles, and the mushroom pasta are all vegetarian.
Shellfish
AvoidOur catch of the day rotates and may include shellfish — please flag any allergy and we'll confirm the day's fish.
Lactose / Dairy
AvoidPimento cheese, burrata, and cream sauces contain dairy; most dishes can be made dairy-free — just ask.
