Coopers Cookin and Catering LLC - Orange, Virginia

I am the Virginia chapter lead of a national organization. While planning a meeting in Orange, VA, the venue manager recommended Coopers as a possible caterer. My wife and I had dinner there to check it out. We were very impressed with the quality of the food and the professionalism of the owner, Denise, so I arranged for her to cater my meeting a couple months later.

Having grown up on Delmarva, home of the broiler chicken industry and amazing fried chicken, I have to say that Coopers' fried chicken is as good as any I've had - it is her mother's recipe! The flavor of the pork BBQ is superb. The coleslaw is my wife's new favorite.

For our meeting, Coopers knocked it out of the park and I received several compliments about the lunch. In fact, a former chapter lead wrote "this was the best lunch the chapter has ever had!"

Denise's coordination throughout was PERFECT. We coordinated everything by text so we had it all in writing for reference. She was both proactive AND always responded to me within a few minutes.

The entire experience could not have been better.

A Ten Out Of Ten! The Food was really good! Can’t remember the young ladies name that waited on us but she was so sweet and accommodating! I got the pork chops with gravy Mac and cheese corn pudding! My husband got chicken livers with onions, cream potatoes collards greens! Ice tea. Looking forward to coming back!

First time dining and will definitely be back! Great food and friendly staff! We had the catfish, wing dings and boy was the coleslaw amazing! If you haven’t tried them, you should!

>Pros:
*Everything was cooked to perfect doneness.
*The waitress was attentive and friendly.
*Food came out quick.

>Cons:
*Fries, collards, and chicken had no seasoning, not even salt (likely why the salt shaker on the booth table was empty).
*The cheese on their cheese fries was pumped nacho cheese, which for the price I assumed it would be melted shredded cheese or something rather than unsalted with pumped cheese.

Some of the best fried chicken I have ever had. Service was good and the staff is friendly. Prices are very fair and portions are perfect! Loved this place!

Update 8/12/23: I decided I did not want to cook for my family today or tomorrow. Went online and decided what I would order. I decided I wanted to wait until I get there to order so our food would be hot. I drive 30 miles only to see a sign on the door at 3:00pm that read “closing early 12 noon.” Nothing noted on website. I will not exclusively drive there to get food anymore. They’ve too inconsistent. Lost another star.

Update: So while they don’t lose a star because their food is still great, the wings are almost half the size of when I first tried them. They didn’t even pass the key fob test. This is very disappointing. Probably won’t order wings again.

I’m so picky about soul food since I cook it masterfully myself. This place is legit! Nice big fried chicken wings. So tired of tiny pitiful wings (yes I know the more organic usually the smaller the wing. But let’s be honest, no one comes to a place like this for health reasons. Lol.) My new go to when I want soul food (which I don’t eat often anymore) and don’t want to cook it.

The food was amazing, I had the country fried steak, my wife had the country fried chicken and both were phenomenal! The corn pudding, mashed potatoes and green beans were all great as well, 5 star food!

We went to their free Christmas morning breakfast! Excellent in every way! Thank you so very much for doing that. We'll see you again soon!
