The whole area is covered, shaded on those hot summer nights. We ordered food and in order-to-order drinks, you have to order them from the bar area on the opposite end of the bar. We got tacos and burgers. The drink was a watermelon cocktail. Everything was just mediocre unfortunately. I didn't think the tacos had good flavor, no wow factor. The drink was a bit watered down and the burger was just Ok, sort of bland, too. I think of all the places we tried while visiting the Northshore area, this may have been our least favorite. But it does have ambience going for it. It just needs better flavors in their food.

Everything was good, but the onion rings were beyond! I would come back to specifically order them with an ice cold beer. The food was fine, which is what I am expecting from a place like this. Noting specifically special, but their service is where they stand out. Cheyenne was our server and she was great at remembering everything and serving us in such a quick and efficient manner. The reason why I am writing this is truly because we all watched the halftime show together and it felt like an experience I would have in my own home. The servers and staff hovered around us and the big TV. Everyone was welcome and just as excited to watch together. This was a truly special moment, reflective of the restaurant's hospitality. We will certainly be back!

Dinner at the Greyhound is supported by a full bar, a good wine list, a nice selection of specialty cocktails and a selection of sumptuous desserts.

There was a big crowd on this Friday lunch hour and the surroundings were noisy and bustling, but all proceeded without a hitch. I'm watching my calories at present, so I had the Chicken Paillard served with greens in vinaigrette and braised vegetables. It was excellent; succulent, tasty, and generously portioned. Our party of five had a variety of entrees, including fish tacos, southwestern salad, and chicken Caesar sandwich. All were enjoyed. Our little one had the fried shrimp off the kid's menu and thought it was very good. Bistro Byronz was a very good experience. We will return.

There is something for everyone (even if you're feeling healthy, aka a salad), but the stars are freshly made burgers, wings, and Philly cheesesteaks (my favorite). Complementing the menu is a variety of drink options, including mixed drinks and local beers served in ice-cold mugs! For the sweet tooth, there is fresh custard-based treats with plenty of topping options. There is also a small outdoor stage for live music and outdoor games, creating a fun setting for families and groups. It's a great location as well if you're out for a bike ride on the trace and need a pit stop. Iceburg Charlies Grill does a good job combining plenty of options, a freshly prepared menu, and a fun laid back vibe to bring it all together!

And the sauce was not the vibe with them. Maybe a creamy remoulade would have been better. Also ordered a seafood salad. It was ok. Nothing special. No extras. Also tried my mom's roast beef po-boy and it was alright. Nothing special. Sorry, but I did expect more, especially for the prices.

My wife and I live in Kenner and have been enjoying lunch once a month for many years with another…read morecouple who live on the North Shore. We have our favorites on both sides of the lake, but I recently read some great reviews somewhere online about Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen with locations in both Mandeville and Covington. After speaking with our friends we decided to dine at the Covington location of Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen. Inside the entrance, the restaurant posts their policy that you will not be seated at a table until all parties have arrived, which is understandable considering the huge amount of business they have. My wife and I arrived before our friends who were running a little late. The Hostess, Jill, asked me how many in our party and I told her four, but the other couple was running late and would be arriving in about 20 minutes. We took a seat in the empty waiting area inside the entrance. The restaurant appeared to have only one or two empty tables available inside when I arrived on a beautiful day. Five to ten minutes later the waiting area was full (approx. ten people). The restaurant was extremely noisy with all their customers enjoying their meals and conversing with friends/family. I noticed that there were approximately ten tables located in front of the restaurant in a beautiful covered patio, so I asked Jill if we could have a table outside once our friends arrived in about five more minutes because one of them was somewhat physically handicapped. There was only one empty table in the patio at the time. Jill explained that since she had a reservation in the patio for a party of eight that would be arriving soon, so she had been holding it for another available outside table to put together to accommodate this party. However, she said she would gladly give us the table. By this time, the waiting room was full of people and overflowing outside the entrance. I had given my seat to a lady and stepped outside to wait for my friends, who I noticed had arrived and parking their car. I told Jill and she seated us at the table in the patio. The four of us ordered different things on the menu, which were fantastic. Although the restaurant was packed, the waitress AND Jill visited our table several times to ensure we were enjoying our meals. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchens' ambiance, service, menu items (along with portion sizes) and prices were absolutely astounding. We were all very impressed and grateful for a beautiful dining experience. Special thanks to Jill who was abundantly pleasant to deal with. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen certainly placed Jill in the right position.
