It was mine and the wife's 1st time here. We were welcomed right away, she explained the special and price to us, suggested some great meals to us, made sure our drinks were made correctly, the lemon drop was delicious, food was delicious. We had duck wonton, quesadilla burger, BLT burger, and sweet potato fries. Delicious! Very clean, well organized, nice little restaurant. It was well worth it!

Great food in Aurora,MN. My family went to the Copper Nickel based on a recommendation by someone at Giant’s Ridge Legends Golf Course. Wow, what a fantastic place to eat. We went here on a Thursday and I had the rib special. I smoke my own ribs for about 6-8 hours and had low expectations. However, these ribs, though oven baked tasted great. Not huge smoke flavor like my homemade ones, but it was surprisingly good. It’s much better than the ribs sold at Chili’s or Applebees. They should take notes on how to cook ribs.My kids had the kids meal of Kraft mac and cheese, which was fine because that’s what they liked. The fries that came with it were incredible. These french fries are thin and crispy similarly to McDonald’s.My wife had the gluten free tortellini pasta which she absolutely enjoyed.Being in iron ore country, this is a hidden gem in the iron range.

Great food and wonderful service! We've had two birthday parties and a retirement/birthday party in the last few months there and all have been fantastic!

We just had a wonderful experience at the copper nickel, We ordered the Alfredo with Gluten Free noodles. I have celiac disease so dining out is very limited and often stressful to do, but at the Copper Nickel our sever went the extra mile to ensure my safety. They went back into the kitchen and checked with the staff to make sure what we wanted to order was Gluten Free. They also brought out our dishes with gloves. We will definitely be back!

The owners here are super nice, food was great, service good (everyone was very hard working). They were also great in helping us use the wheelchair entrance and ensuring we had a table that worked for that. Saturday prime rib was a nice staple and the new Cuban was really great.

We had a wonderful time at the Copper Nickel restaurant Golf Course in Virginia, Minnesota. The food was excellent and the service was fantastic.
