The $6.95 lunch special at Coppersmith’s is quickly becoming a favorite for me and Rodney. It’s still a bit of a hike for us during our lunch hour but the food is consistently great and the quiet bar is a nice place for us to chat and catch up.
I recently tried the grilled chicken sandwich with buffalo sauce, which was two thin but large pieces of grilled chicken covered in a nicely tangy buffalo sauce. The sauce has a nice vinegary kick to it but it isn’t too spicy. The chicken is served on a kaiser roll and topped with lettuce, tomato, and red onion.

The kaiser roll really works well with this sandwich, as a regular bun would not be sturdy enough to contain all the fillings and the sauce. I always get a container of bleu cheese dressing on the side and slather that on as needed. I’m not the hugest fan of bleu cheese but sometimes I use it to temper the spiciness of the buffalo sauce. The sandwich also comes with a big pile of their always perfectly cooked french fries.
Autopsy shot
Out of all the bars in our neighborhood, Coppersmith’s is quickly becoming my favorite. They have a nice selection of beers on tap and lots of big tv screens to watch games on. There is also a lot of seating, which I find important in any bar. It’s just a great place to grab a bite, have a drink, and hang out.
