Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Hillsboro

I have been wanting to have dinner here for a long time, but somehow it was always off my radar. When I did a search for a steak dinner near me, there it was! My opportunity finally arrived. The Stockpot Broiler has always received very high marks from my friends AND online. I’m finally going to find out for myself. My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary (as we always do by going to several restaurants during November). The ambience upon entering Stockpot was very nice, clean and inviting. The two women that greeted us were extremely friendly and inviting and wished us a Happy Anniversary. They sat us right next to the Christmas tree that they had set up…a very nice touch! Our service person was Sharon who said that she has worked there for 32 years!!! She clearly knew her way around the menu and wine list and she was wonderful…complete with historic stories of crazy guest experiences she has witnessed during her tenure. All the dished looked fabulous and I had some real decision making to do to figure out which I would like best. The wine menu was exceedingly reasonably priced which was a pleasant addition to our experience. We started with Caesar salad that we shared and it was very, very good. We also shared a bowl of French onion soup. I love a great French onion soup and this did not disappoint!. Yummm. I ordered the rib eye…Sharon told me that she had petitioned the owner decades ago to put it on the menu! Of course I ordered it medium rare and it was mouthwateringly delicious. It came with delicious mashed potatoes and baby green beans. My wife ordered the lamb shank which was prepared beautifully on polenta and was perfectly tender…falling off the bone. We both shared a bottle of Chianti Classico Reserva which was delicious. The entire bill was very reasonable, significantly less than many other places that we could have eaten…and the food and experience was top notch. A++

Wonderful food and service. Great seasonal specialties.

We love Copper River. Service is always top notch. The manager always checks in with us to make sure we enjoyed our visit. Never had a bad meal. And Josh is easily the best bartender in the area!

We had a nice dinner on veterans day. Since being a veteran my meal was complimentary. Only thing that could have made it an even greater experience was to have had happy hour.

It was a little loud. Other than that, everything was awesome.
