Restaurants in Covington

“By far the best sushi and sashimi I have ever eaten! Delicious and very fresh. I love going in and just letting them feed us.”

“The Beet ever ! Go every week ! Staff the Best”

“We have dined at Don's in Covington multiple times. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, and the servers are exceptional. During our recent visit, we were served by Emily. She was very professional, intelligent, and focused. She was patient and pleasant to converse with. We were impressed with her knowledge of the restaurant and the menu. We truly enjoyed our dinner, and Emily provided excellent service.”

“DELICIOUS!! Love everything we have tried!!!”

“Fantastic”

“Love their daily specials and how fast the food comes out.”

“My daughter has wanted me to come for a while now and today was my first ever visit. I love that there were “secret cookies” my daughter didn’t know existed! So I got to surprise her and that was nice. I will say these cookies seemed underdone to me at first but it could just be that they’re meant to be soft. We bought a big pack and the young lady up front this morning was able to tell me every detail of what I was looking at when picking the cookies. She also had excellent customer service! It was just so nice overall and I will be coming back!”

“Just wanted to drop by and say that we had an amazing experience at Turgeau's this morning. Our youngest son is newly diagnosed with celiac disease and just starting to feel better. Going out for a meal causes some nervousness but he REALLY wanted pancakes (I just miss having pancakes 😔). Not only were the staff well educated on cross contamination precautions, they were also very helpful with making sure his selections were safe. Plus, they have a catering menu for Christmas dinner. We will be back!”

“First time for me there but will not be last time. Delicious food, large portions, great service and extremely clean & pleasant surroundings.”

“Always Great Service and Awesome Food!!!”

“I rarely post food reviews, but this one made me run to the review section. Excellent food 10 out of 10 rating from the spinach and artichoke dip, to the waffles, to the omelettes, to the pancakes… Even the grits were amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try something from their lunch menu. 😍🤩”

“The best!!! Hamds down!!!”

“Awesome, always stop here when I'm visiting”

“Amazing staff, delicious espresso & matcha drinks in fun glasses with cute foam art, + the food (pink deviled eggs, cmon) is divine. The back patio is a treasure. We loved Cured!”

“Lovely restaurant! Our server, Lauren was the best-so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. She made terrific recommendations. The food was amazing- we had: wild mushroom/tahini/fried chicken hummus sampler and the falafel platter for appetizers, delicious fresh baked pita, mezze bowls, lamb burger and kofta plate. Everything was delicious and well- spiced with very satisfying portions on everything. We will be back!”

“Our food was amazing but our waitress Sasha was the absolute best! Loved every second ❤️”

“Came here for Happy Hour. It's only one hour so get here on time. Everything is delicious. The drinks are well crafted and good. It's a great value. We usually eat appetizers at happy hour and eat half portions of their entrees after the happy hour ends. This is a wonderful place for meals, cocktails, and wine.”

“10 out of 10!!!!! Just absolutely hands down a perfect restaurant with great servers and the food is top tier delicious.”

“First visit yesterday. Delicious food. Great service. So very clean. I d recommend it highly!”

“We have been about 6 times with friends and everyone loved everything we tried. The food is fresh with multiple layers of flavor. The negative ratings are about service or wait times. (Which we have not had a problem with) But the food is what matters! I recommend the poblano rice and plantains as sides. Nachos as an appetizer or entree because it is not a hunk of cheese melted on old repeatedly fried chips we find everywhere else. The guacamole is the best I have ever had. But, as a dessert gal, I have tried them all and there is not one I would not get againm(hint: the chocolate cake with flan on top is my favorite)”

“Great bunch of folks here, truck entrance right off 36, blink and you'll miss it. Use the entrance you see the docks in, tight but there's room enough. Do not turn left to the front of the building at the corner. May not be able to get out proper”

“I absolutely love Marcello’s! This is a family favorite for everybody. Great service and exceptional food. The best Italian restaurant on the northshore.”

“Gallagher's Grill is always an amazing meal with amazing staff. Maddie was very attentive when she took care of my family this evening. we were a party of 5 with 2 kids and we ordered a wide variety of food. nothing was out of place or less than amazing. my dad is from NYC as am I so we know a great steak and Gallagher's Grill is the top in the area.”

“Great place friendly service and great food”

“Best ever!! We will definitely stop by next time we are in Covington ⭐️😍”

“Excellent experience! Last minute decision to dine there bit was a great decision! Jennifer was an outstanding server. Food was excellent!”

“We will definitely be back!”

“The Best and clean place !”

“Our waiter, Avery, was absolutely top-notch, anticipating every need. The soup and bread was quite good and we could extra portions. The food came out very hot and was flavorful. You can still get some decent dishes under $20, but expect to pay a few dollars above that for what you probably want, like something with a protein. And, if you like angel hair pasta, they can sub it for you.”

“We’ve made so many great memories at The Southern Hotel over the years. Our son’s wedding was held here, and it could not have been a more beautiful or special experience for our family. From the atmosphere to the service, everything was handled with such care and professionalism. My wife and I have also enjoyed several staycations here in downtown Covington — relaxing by the pool, enjoying the charm of the property, and taking in everything this historic hotel has to offer. Our business has even had the opportunity to paint different interior areas within the hotel, including portions of the ballroom — which makes it especially meaningful for us to see guests celebrating their own special moments in such a beautiful space. We’re incredibly grateful to have such a wonderful venue right here in our community. Whether you're celebrating a major life event or just looking for a relaxing getaway, The Southern Hotel is truly something special. Highly recommend! — Southern Dropcloth Painting”

“⭐️⭐️100 GOLD Stars To Patty, Tony, & Stephanie ⭐️⭐️ Fast Friendly Service 💛 Always Go To Waffle House In Covington”

“We went this morning, waffles were thinner than the sliced toast and not the Texas toast, ordered hasbrowns with cheese, hasbrowns came to table without cheese, advised waitress they were to have cheese, she legit walked to cook who threw a slice of cheese on top and walked back to table, I asked really not going to melt cheese on them??

“We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding cakes! We decided to go with three separate cakes, each with a different flavor—White Chocolate Strawberry, Chocolate Espresso, and Almond—and each one exceeded our expectations. They captured our vision perfectly, and on top of that, the cakes were absolutely delicious. It was a huge hit with our guests. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for a beautiful and tasty centerpiece for their special day!”

“Standard Cracker Barrel. Clean restaurant, food is up to Standard as is the store.”

“Very good casual dining restaraunt. Best place to get a good steak and baked potato at a very good price. I cannot give 5 stars because it’s noisy and the service is rushed. There is also dirty napkins on the floor and the restroom is not clean. Food quality gets the stars at this spot for tasty steaks at a great price. I will definitely will return for another meal here.”

“I have been coming to the Tea Room for over 20 years! Being from England this Tea Room holds a special place in my heart ! The Owners Tim and Jan are some of the sweetest, kindest people i know ! They love the community! The food is excellent ! Teas are wonderful , so many to choose from!”

“Enjoyed family Christmas dinner as usual, awesome food drinks, service with a smile ! Thank you Boulevard American Bistro!”

“We came in today like a sweaty, chaotic whirlwind after spending the morning at Global Wildlife. Our server, Brooklyn (I believe was her name & if I’m wrong I’m so sorry, I was frazzled) was incredibly patient & friendly from the very start. Our 6 year old son is autistic & was NOT a fan of GW. He was on the verge of a spiral & the only thing he could verbalize was that he wanted pizza. Brooklyn & her manager came to our table, we came up with a game plan and they makeshift created a “pizza” on the spot for my little dude with no hesitation. Y’all truly don’t know how grateful I am to the staff of this restaurant today for helping make this mamas day just a little easier. They accommodated us with a smile, when they easily could have said, sorry we don’t have pizza. Brooklyn & her manager provided absolutely stellar service!! Make sure you ask for her section & tip her big, cause miss Brooklyn deserves a RAISE!!!”

“Covington’s got a great server named Kayla. She’s been the only one that I have like to serve me there and then the manager is Ryan you can’t ask for a better person. They treat you like family and the food is awesome.”

“Visited today for the first time. Upon arrival we were welcomed by Greg at the front door offering High 5's, and were promptly walked through the process of how to order and what to expect. Appetizers came out quickly, (which the fried pickles were perfect), and the entrees came out quickly after that and were also incredible. Customer service was phenomenal all around. From the beginning to the end, staff were attentive and engaging. Greg even showed us the wall of hot sauce that is available for customer use. After our meals we opted to purchase some of their sweet goodies that were near the register, which turns out are crafted by someone who works there and were out of this world! Overall, the experience was one of the absolute best we have had at a restaurant. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.”

“Okay guys, I don't know if I just got lucky or if the owners are actually starting to treat this restaurant like they care about it. They seem to have stepped up the staff. The food was hot and fresh delicious and the girl at the drive-thru is very cute and nice. So I have to go in the direction of Hope and pray that this is a new beginning. So I'm going to give him a chance and I'm going to correct my rating for now until they give me a reason to do something different with it. Best thing they did was hire that girl at the drive-thru”

“Great customer service!!!”

“What a beautiful place and fantastic food and fabulous service! Went out for date night, the prosciutto flatbread was 10/10, my husband got the fig and pig burger, it was delicious I got the buffalo chicken wrap, and it was HUGE, and very tasty. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, we will 10000% be coming back.”

“Best coffee, food, and atmosphere.”

“Food is delicious; just a little slow when there are no people here. Don’t know why it hasn’t caught on, but maybe it’s just the out-of-the-way location. Please give it a try; hate to see a great Mexican place like this go away.”

“great atmosphere, awesome food, and friendly service!”

“Went here this past Tuesday and man was I impressed!! From the second I walked in the radiant energy hit me in the face. The good music, great smell, and color all over the place was a nice surprise. The lady who took my order was very patient and offered good suggestions. After ordering the food came out extremely quickly and they gave us a wide array of sauces to choose from for free! Me and my girlfriend got the street tacos since they’re $2 on Tuesdays. We got the chicken tacos, steak tacos, and a side of chips and queso (highly recommend). Food came out within 10 minutes and all of the staff talked to us and were super friendly just naturally. There was also another guy who was the manager there and I just want to let you know you’re killing it, keep up the good work. Great food, great service, will be back again!”

“First time trying Cava and it was amazing!! The staff were so friendly and walked me through everything.It literally was an experience! Very clean and cute location!”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“We have visited Chopstick Express twice and both times have been delicious, quick, and comfortable. All of the staff is very friendly and willing to explain things if you have questions. We will be back! Try the beef and broccoli and sesame chicken it’s amazing.”

“Food was great! Plenty of televisions to watch sports and outdoor seating with shade. Service was fast even during lunch just walk up to order. Make sure to download their app if you are in a rush to preorder and earn rewards. Lots of options from pizza to burger and chicken fingers. Food is not bland! Highly recommend for a quick and filling bite.”

“I usually hate traveling down 190 because of all the traffic but this store is so great for their promptness and ability to crank out an order quickly it’s worth it. Never once had an item come up missing or the food take any longer than the tracker says. It also helps that Domino’s upped their game food-wise and it’s the better of all the huge national chains now by a mile.”
