Cajun food is one of our favorites. Copeland’s is about as close as we have found to New Orleans food. Every time we are in Jacksonville we make sure to take a night for Copeland’s. We always start with Biscuits and Crawfish Bread! We have had almost everything on the menu and have never had a complaint!

Exceptional Dining Experience at Copeland’s – A Must-Visit in Jacksonville! I had the pleasure of dining at Copeland’s, and I must say, it was one of the most memorable culinary experiences I've had in Jacksonville, Florida. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality manager, Tyler, set the tone with warm, attentive service that was truly phenomenal. I began my meal with the Bayou Broccoli—an indulgent, cheesy delight with a stunning cheese pull that was an unexpected and delightful surprise. The accompanying tiger sauce was bold, flavorful, and absolutely out of this world. The Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls followed, perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, served with a rich buffalo sauce and a cool, creamy blue cheese dressing—an impeccable pairing. Next up was the Spinach and Artichoke Dip, served with fried bowtie pasta. This creative twist was both unique and delicious—undoubtedly one of the best renditions of this classic dish I’ve ever had. For my entree, I chose the Blackened Trio, upgrading to salmon in place of catfish for a small upcharge that was well worth it. The salmon was perfectly cooked, and I paired it with angel hair pasta in a tasso ham cream sauce that was generously loaded with shrimp. Although incredible, I found myself equally captivated by the decadence of the lemon bordelaise sauce that accompanied the trio. To finish off an extraordinary meal, I indulged in the Creole Cheesecake topped with caramel and pecans. It was rich, velvety, and easily one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever had. I’m already planning to return this weekend with my family to relive the entire experience! A special thank you to my server, Mr. Sheman, whose attentive and friendly service ensured my glass was never empty (the lemon drop martini is a must have!) and every need was met with a smile. Thank you, Copeland’s, for an unforgettable evening of exquisite food and impeccable hospitality. Five stars all the way!

Drove by Copeland's for months, and it was always busy. Decided to stop today to give it a try. Ordered the fried shrimp, catfish, and oysters dish. It was a lot of food and very good. Swapped out the french fries for sweet potato fries, good decision. Wanted to try the biscuits, but maybe next time.

A great seafood experience from the greeters, meal selection, taste of food, portions and service was wonderful. We visited here for the first time as a team after a long work day. Our attentive waitress and the meals we all selected was on point. The seafood platter, shrimp Poboy sandwich, and Crabcakes with shrimp Alfredo was excellent. I hope to have an opportunity to visit again in the future they did not disappoint.

Paneed alligator, what a delight! Never expected it to taste like chicken strips. Juicy chicken wings, I loved chicken and waffles. Our table ordered jambalaya, po-boys, etoufee, pasta and special butter biscuits. Copeland’s has its own hot sauce, definitely a banger. Loved the vibe of the place, exquisitely unique. Genuinely good service. Go there hungry.

Whitney was our server, she was wonderful and the food was amazing! We had spinach and artichoke dip, shrimp Alfredo, shrimp dillicous pasta and crawfish etouffee. Everything was delicious!

If you’re anywhere near Jacksonville, Copeland’s Cajun New Orleans-style restaurant is a must-visit for brunch lovers. Their brunch buffet is a feast for the senses—I’m talking creamy cheese grits, perfectly fried turkey, rich homemade mashed sweet potatoes, and steamed crawfish & shrimp that take you straight to the bayou. My made-to-order omelet was packed with spinach, mushrooms, red onions, grilled chicken & cheese—fresh and flavorful. The banana foster waffle was a sweet dream come true. And don’t even get me started on the dessert spread—absolutely amazing. To top it off, there’s a full liquor bar, so your mimosa or Bloody Mary game is strong. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the staff treats you like family. Honestly, it’s worth the ride, the time, and every single bite. Copeland’s is serving up Southern comfort with a Cajun twist—and I’m here for it.
