In all liklihood, Dallas will never have another authentic cajun/creole
restaurant like Copeland's. Sadly, Copeland's Dallas
closed its doors this year. The mall is was adjacent to had closed
and became a wrecking yard a few years earlier, and I suppose it's
surprising they held on as long as they did, since for all practical
purposes, it didn't really look like they were open.
<br>
I won't bother with a review of the food since it is gone now,
but I will say I was very sad to see it go. I had eaten at the Copeland's
in New Orleans' Garden District every chance I got, and the
Dallas location was just as good. Why anyone would choose a Razoo's
or Ponchatrain chain restaurant over this gem is simply a sign
of poor taste.
<br>
I won't say the service was five-star, but it was better than
most. And in regard to the comments from the young lady whose party
was kicked out below, I will only say that the largest booths at
Copeland's were in no way ever meant to accommodate a party
of 10. I'm sure your party seemed like college students trying
to fit into a phone booth more than anything else, and I have to
say that you attempted it rather than sitting in an appropriate
place is ample evidence that your party being kicked out was not
unfounded. I would say 5 or 6, maximumpeople would be the most
that the table could be set for.
If you ever have a chance, go eat at Copeland's. Try the amazing
Tasso Pasta or wood-grilled chicken and honeyed yams, and top
it off with Bananas Foster. There's a good one in Shreveport,
and of course the one in New Orleans. It's worth a trip there.

Ladies and Gentleman, Please be aware. I am a God fearing African
- American 21 year old woman who is sending this message in all
sincerity and honesty. This weekend a few friends and myself
decided to take friends from out of town to Copeland's for dinner.
We explained to our guest how nice the restaurant was and how we
were sure they would enjoy the food. Our party consisted of five
African American males and four African American females from the
ages of 21 to 29. We entered Copeland's and told the hostess we
would like a table for a party of ten. The young lady paused gave
us an odd glare and then stated she would "look". She returned
approximately 15 minutes later to direct us to our table. It was a long booth in the rear of the restaurant next
to the kitchen. When we asked if it were possible we could sit
at a large round table on the higher level of the reastaraunt,
we were told our party was too big. We ignored this and decided
to sit at the booth anyway. Approximately two minutes after we all sat and opened our
menus one of the gentelman in our party was asked to remove his
cap. Since we were in a restaurant he understood and did so.
Approximately a minute later the manager returns and in a very
rude manner tells another gentleman in our party he has to sit
upright. Please keep in mind this young man was not laid out
in the booth, but was merely leaning on his elbow looking at
the menu. We all paused and looked at the manager in disbelief.
My friend to whom the manager was speaking, also in disbelief
asked the manager "What did you say?". The manager then very
harshly told my friend that if he did not sit up Copeland's
would not serve anyone at our table. When my friend refused the
manager told all of us to "get out!" We remained seated and I,
a college educated woman, asked in an exteremely professional
manner for the manager to please show us in his policy where
this "no slouching rule" was stated. In disgust he walked away.
When he returned he had a police officer with him that explained
he was forced to show us out of the restaurant. He also explained
if we refused to leave we would be placed under arrest. Once we
were out of the restaraunt the officer explained to us what
happened inside was extremely odd, and that he had never had to
ask anyone to leave for slouching, but because he was hired for
security at Copeland's he had no choice but to ask us to leave. He also
suggested we take this up as civil matter,which we are definitely
in the process of doing. I usually do not send messages that need
to be forwarded on the internet but I am requesting that you
send this out to as many people as possible. What happened to
us was embarassing, injust and out and out racist. There is no
question in mind or my friends minds thatwhat happened to us was
because of our skin color. As much as I once liked Copeland's,
I will never eat there again. I hope you are alsooutraged by
what happened to us and will do the same. Thank you for reading
this and please pass this on immediately.

Owned by the same guy who owns Popeye's Chicken, but this
ain't no fastfood joint.
Standard Cajun fare - shrimp creole is better than average.
Better value at lunch than at dinner.
