Copper Rock Steakhouse South Bend

I don’t review local places enough. We came here for our anniversary this year. Service and atmosphere were both excellent and our dinners and drinks were amazing. We will definitely be back.

Dana, made this restaurant visit appreciated. Dana's kindness and menu knowledge made us feel well cared for. Her service made us feel like her only customers for the evening.

Tony, the manager almost took my little bit of tequila I had in my glass that evening 😆. He couldn’t see I had a smidge left lol. We joked about it and had some fun!

His top-notch management skills were evident during our visit. Tony and his team have created a classy yet friendly dining experience, from the welcoming greeting at the door to the pristine restaurant and smooth service.

Layne's bread service was exceptional. He chatted with us before dropping the bread, bringing a personal touch to our evening.

The chef deserves praise also. Our meals were carefully prepared and delicious. As you can see in the pictures.

These factors made our visit special. This restaurant excels in service, management, and cuisine. I recommend this restaurant for exceptional dining.

Thanks from Alek & Suzi Pavlovich

Before I go into too much detail about my experience at Copper Rock Steakhouse South Bend, I just want this to be known. I did not come here for a special occasion. Myself and my best friend came here on a whim, just to see what it was like.

Personally I dragged my feet a little bit coming to this specific casino because the last time I was here before the Covid-19 epidemic, I made the unfortunate decision to try their weekday buffet which was free as a reward for me, and too be honest, not only was it easily the worst buffet I ever had, but it was among the worst food I ever had period and that rubbed me the wrong way considering how much money that this casino brings in on a daily basis.

I came into this fine-dining restaurant with one question in my mind. "Does this casino care about their food quality at all?"

I stood corrected, Copper Rock was actually very good!

Right away myself and my friend were enthralled by the elegant yet modern-minimalist decor. It helped provide with a very relaxing environment.

The service was a highlight during the visit, I didn't get the name of the waitress, or I honestly don't remember but she was very friendly with the both of us and even made recommendations to us. Very professional.

The breads they gave us were all unique in their own ways, a little rustic but not too over complicated. Might I add here I personally thought the Asiago garlic spread that was provided was one of the highlights culinary wise.

Then came the Lobster Bisque. I'm not going to deny myself when saying that lobster bisque is one of my favorite foods, period. Considering my initial hesitation because of my fear of their food quality I was in doubt about how amazing this soup was going to be. Smooth, a little heat in the back, some sweetness, it had everything I would ever want in that soup and more. Definitely worth the 14$ and a return trip alone.

Now did anything hold back the experience? Yes.

While my best friend thoroughly enjoyed his filet migion, i was left somewhat dissatisfied with my 55 day bone in ribeye. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad although I had one bite that was overcooked and tasted like unseasoned beef, the rest of it I thought was cook in comparison to other steaks I have had in the past. My issue is was it worth 79$? I don't think so.

Overall this was a great form of redemption on the part of Four Winds South Bend to get me interested in making the hour long journey to come back. Perhaps on my next trip I won't go for the most expensive steak, but rather the true stars, the starter dishes. Perhaps I will branch further and find more I would love.

One of my favorite places. Food is always good, service is great and the conditions of the restaurant are spot on. French onion is great and the steaks are fantastic...add in a little camus and your good to go.

Layne's service was excellent. His recommendations were spot on. Also, he proactively texted me when we left a birthday gift at our table after a wonderful evening.

If you never had a real Japanese Wagyu steak, if you have never spent $130 on a steak, you should. And you should do it here. I've never in my life tasted a steak that when you bite into it it literally turns into juices. Absolute perfection. The best steak I've had in my 43 years. Anywhere. It is definitely not the wannabe wagyu steak that is in most restaurants. It was worth every penny

Always a great time. The red snapper special was amazing. Very nice trip and our server Remi was a delight.

Service and food was outstanding!!! Even the bread basket and variety of butters / cheeses were amazing. The sides of broccoli and baked potato enhanced the filet and lobster tail. Only question I have is... why have I waited so long to visit this place?!?!?! I’ll be back soon.

Wish you didn’t have to walk through fourwinds to get here. Seriously if you’re only here once and like seafood. Pay whatever the market price is for their crab legs. You will not regret it. Amazing place.

Open kitchen is so loud, so if they seat you near there, expect to work to hear. Also service was a bit slow, maybe short staffed, but we had some delays for refilling water or placing orders. Also there were only 3 drink menus so we had to wait to view that as well. All that being said our waitress was very nice and the food was super delicious.

I’m a tough critic first time here. I came in, the bread was amazing. These wealthy ladies next to me complained about everything and the bartender Joel took care of them with extreme professionalism. He had back up support to take my order. Great food great service and experience.

Girlfriend had the prime rib. I had the filet mignon. Dinner was excellent, the staff was very friendly

I simply cannot compliment this establishment enough. The entire experience was wonderful.

Company Christmas party and we had a blast! Everything was perfect!

Our food and drinks were delicious! Bradley and Tony were friendly and informative. Their service was outstanding. Our family was looking for a different dinner experience this Christmas. We wanted to dine out because my husband died a few months ago. We have decided Copper Rock will be our new Christmas dinner destination. Thank you for bringing joy to our family tonight. Merry Christmas!

Amazing experience. We went to celebrate our anniversary - 7 years (the gift is 'copper' so this fit perfectly). I forgot on the day of our anniversary, I had a hockey game - 2 actually - and played. In any event, the food was amazing and the staff equally so. Our waitress was knowledgeable and honest with her assessment of what she felt we would like.
We like to sample so she ordered:
- wedge salad
- Lobster bisque
- Crab Cakes

I had:
- French Onion Soup
- Baked Potato
- Prime Rib

Dinner was delicious and filling. For a special occasion or celebration definitely consider Copper Rock.

This is probably one of the most classy and elegant restaurants I've ever been to. My husband and I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and our dining experience did not disappoint! We came on a Thursday evening and I had the $55 special which was such a great deal! I chose the lobster bisque soup, a filet mignon with mashed potatoes and asparagus and the creme brulee for dessert. Everything was cooked so perfectly and we left completely full and satisfied! I loved the cozy and quiet atmosphere and I felt so relaxed while we were dining. We will definitely be returning because we had such an unforgettable experience!

I recommend the 🦞 Seafood platter it was excellent & hugely wonderful 😍

I had dinner at Copper Rock in South Bend tonight. I had the porterhouse. It was absolutely perfect. But the service was even better. My server Abby was great. She was meticulous to detail. She recommended the special, and It was exactly what I wanted. One of the best dinning experiences I have had in a very long time. We will definitely be back soon. Finding good service like that is rare.

This place is a new favorite! It is very pricey, but the food was amazing, our server was awesome, and we loved the atmosphere. The filet melted in my fiancée mouth. He was almost speechless. He said it was the best steak he has ever had.
