I've been going to Kopper Kitchen since I was a kid... it's a St. Pete mainstay and you'll see everyone from the mayor to school teachers, to fisherman, retired cops, stay at home moms and high school seniors. The price is right for fresh, no nonsense meals. They are only open for breakfast and lunch, and I have been there twice in one day- it's that good. Try the breakfast special for a filling way to start the day- the biscuits are homemade. Feel like only strawberries and bananas in your fruit cup? Do it. Delicious. For lunch, the patty melt, the BLT with the juiciest red tomatoes and slice after slice of bacon on toast- YUM. The chicken salad is delish, oh and the greek salad too. You'll need to dump it out on a big plate to make sense of it all. They make a different special entree each day of the week, and they are all great. Dessert? They have that too. Homemade creme puffs on Wednesday will rock your face off. Seriously. Save some room!!
This is one of my all-time favorite places to go for lunch in St. Pete. It makes me nostalgic because my friends and I came here after school nearly every day in high school and the staff recognize us to this day. I wish I could get here more because you feel at home when you go there. But anyway, on to the food... Full disclosure: as much as I love this place, I've never been a fan of their breakfast. With that being said, it's been 8 years since I've had it so I don't know where it stands at this point. But my favorite thing about this place is their veggie sub. I haven't eaten meat in over 9 years and this sub has been known to be a favorite of my meat eating friends. I've also know their salads and clubs to be good according to friends and family. Oh, and their crispy fries... Always good. This place is like a diner with a twist. And if you're a vegetarian, don't pass up the sub.
Every time I visit my family in Florida I insist on a visit to the Kopper Kitchen for lunch. This place has been here for ages and what I love most about it is nothing has ever really changed. Don't expect fancy food, but instead expect very fresh and very well prepared simple breakfast and lunch fair. My go to meal is always the small (actually huge) greek salad, and OMG is it always just what I needed and wanted. Lots of feta, fresh greens, cucumbers, great home made potato salad, red onions, tomatoes... and that amazing house dressing... it's also served with their classic garlic roll... man I want to fly in today just to get another and it's making my mouth water thinking about it... Now they also have a lot of other good stuff including daily specials, excellent sandwiches, and especially the soups, which are consistently fantastic... Finally, I've been coming here for years and they have a great family atmosphere. The servers have been there forever, which I think speaks well of an establishment and the owner is a real sweetheart of a guy who is very accommodating to families, regulars and new patrons alike. Just can't say enough good things about this place.
