I went to Cover 3 for the first time today to have lunch with a friend that I hadn't seen in about a year and a half. I knew that they are a "sports bar," so I was really expecting the interior to look a lot more like, say, Third Base, but I wasn't disappointment though. It was really comfortable and warm, lots of comfortable seating and it looks like a great place for large groups. Maybe I've just gotten used to thinking of sports bars in terms of Third Base, but I didn't really feel like there were enough TVs, or that the TVs that they did have were close enough to a lot of the seating (I'm really near-sighted) for me. I got the Chop House burger, which was alright, but definitely not one of the best I've had in town (NXNW is still my favorite burger in town). Also, the fries that came with it seemed like kind of a rip-off (and a not-as-good) ripoff of the fries at NXNW too, but they were still pretty good. I got there before my friend, which was a real first for me, and the place was practically empty so the hostess (who is also the event planner for the restaurant) showed me around, which I thought was incredibly nice. The upstairs "sky box" looked really awesome, and I thought it looked like a perfect location and unique space for a pretty sizable gathering. Our waiter was nice, fairly enthusiastic and attentive, and I really, really appreciated how he didn't interrupt us when he could tell that we were in the middle of talking. But - and this is the biggest but that I have about this place - after the check and we paid, my friend and I sat there for another 20-30 minutes talking and catching up (like, I said, we hadn't seen each other in maybe a year). Now there wasn't anyone waiting to be seated in our waiter's section or I wouldn't have kept taking up the table. But, after we paid out, whoever was in charge of refilling our water and ice tea stopped refilling them. During the last 15ish minutes that we were at the table, both of our glasses were totally empty. Like I said, if there had been other folks waiting and our waiter could have turned that table, that would be a totally different situation. I know this refilling-issue is not major and it was not ultimately a factor in determining the rating I gave Cover 3, but it kinda irked me nonetheless. As welcome as I felt when I first got to Cover 3, I felt that unwelcome when I left. Is that ridiculous of me to feel that way? Not refilling the waters after we've paid is a huge pet peeve of mine, but am I being unreasonable in even having that as one of my pet peeves? At any rate, I think this place would be a great spot to grab a beer and maybe a bite before catching a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse Village, (their appetizers looked really interesting, although we didn't order one). But I don't think that I would make this place on its own one of my destinations. read more

I decided to stop by Cover 3 after work for a beer. Walking up I was thinking that being a sports bar they'd probably have some good wings. It was surprisingly busy. Apparently it's the same people that run ZTejas so they got the word out to all their regulars to have a packed opening night. Given that background it makes a lot of sense. It feels a lot like a ZTejas, but with TV's everywhere -- even right in your face just above the urinals. After I ordered my beer I asked to look at a food menu. I could have sworn their website said they "weren't pretentious" but I didn't get that impression looking over their menu with prices sans decimal places and appetizers starting at $11. I ordered the "beef slider" which was like 3 white castle's and fries. I got that for a steal at $16. I wasn't very impressed with the food I had and was very disappointed there's this place billing themselves as a sports bar yet they don't even serve wings. It also seemed counter intuitive their wine selection was 10 times more comprehensive than their draft beers. Luckily though I didn't get there any earlier. They guy next to me was telling my how their POS system had been down for 30 minutes before my arrival and people were stuck unnecessarily waiting around for their checks. If you were going to go, go opening weekend. They were in the mood of giving everyone free stuff for opening night. I was offered a second beer on the house. The people next to me got hooked up with their $11 chips & queso. That being said their wait staff was very friendly and attentive. I suppose if you're looking for a pretentious, fairly pricey place that has valet parking to eat then this may be up your alley. However if you're looking for the type of place you think of when you think "sports bar" run far, far away. read more

I go here regularly and am always impressed, but a recent visit has made me a forever loyal Cover 3 customer! I went for a quick dinner before a late movie at the Alamo Drafthouse right next door. Our waitress was personable and efficient, the drinks were tasty, and the wait time for food was almost non-existent. My date ordered lettuce wraps and customized his order as he's a picky eater. The waitress was super helpful and accommodating. I ordered the mahi tacos on corn tortillas (only because I had flour tortillas earlier that day with my breakfast tacos). My tacos arrived at the table with flour tortillas, but I didn't care enough to mention anything. When the server noticed, she apologized profusely and suggested bringing me a fresh plate. I politely declined because I only very rarely send food back and also wasn't at all bothered by the mistake. She came back about 3 minutes later and told me she would give us a complementary dessert for being so "amicable", and I assured her that wasn't necessary. THEN, a manager came over to the table and apologized profusely for the mixup and admitted he was embarrassed the flour tortillas even made it to our table. He said they were going to comp my plate, and I again assured him that wasn't necessary. Lo and behold, our check shows up after we've devoured a fair portion of the GIANT complementary brownie (if you've never had this dessert, you need to try it ASAP!) and the tacos were also comped. When a business cares THAT much about doing right by their customers, they deserve all 5 stars. And aside from the outstanding service, the food is always fresh and delicious. I can't think of a single menu item I haven't enjoyed. read more

awesome staff operating as a tightly knit team! food is awesome and we eat here weekly. great job!

This review is specific to the first 2 US soccer game times and how Cover 3 handled the people seeking tables-Cover 3 was publicly identified as a World Cup watching venue. The first game many tables were reserved and about 45 minutes before the game the hostess said there were no seats expected during game time. She recommended calling for reservations. The second game we called for reservations but were told the available seats were only available to in person customers. So we came in person and were told the upstairs seats would open 30 minutes before game time. We had drinks and 40 minutes before game a 50ish man told other bar patrons the upstairs area was open. We followed them upstairs and found 80% of the seats had reserved signs. The manager fellow was curt and condescending when telling me (60ish fellow) there were a few isolated seats left and the reservations had been set for a couple of weeks. Cover 3 service was fine, drinks fine and food pretty good. But I won't be back for a long time after being told come on over, told I should wait for a section to open and then found 80% was reserved. We (my party of 6) were accommodated down the parking lot at the Goodnight with no drama, plenty of soccer and good times. read more

It's opening day for UT football. I went to Cover 3...which was half empty...and told I couldn't eat at any of the 20+ empty tables because I didn't have a reservation...at a SPORTS BAR? A half EMPTY sports bar...in a recession...Really? In all fairness, they did say I could sit on the empty patio. Due to the approaching thunderstorm I declined. Alas, there was no chance I could sit in the half empy restaurant tonight. Cover 3, you are a sports bar. Your food is good, but you haven't earned the right to be snootier at the door than Uchi. I was ready to spend freely on food and beer, but you will never see me again. read more

Love this place but hated the service this evening. Hannah our waitress in the bar was so beyond rude, terribly short, and very bothered to be working. 49 mins for a second round or to check on our party is unacceptable? We were treating family friends for a celebration and spoke highly of cover 3 prior to arriving and left feeling embarrassed that we even brought our guests here. I'm so disappointed and not going back. This neighborhood bar isn't up to par anymore. read more

I visited Cover 3 yesterday for the first time. My boyfriend wanted to watch the Patriots and the game was shown on the big, sunny, patio (which was a huge plus since we just moved here from Maine!) I was starving and the 3-2-1 Happy Hour was just what we needed. From 4-7pm each day, you can get $3 off apps, $2 off cocktails, and $1 off beers. read more

Oh, how I've always loved you and your dog-friendly patio, Cover 3, but today you earned an extra special place in my heart. My two dogs (100 lbs and 10 lbs) and I came to have lunch with a human friend. :) At least five of your servers and your hostess and even a manager came by and checked on me and the dogs while we waited for our friend and they all made sure my dogs' water dishes and my iced tea stayed full. Everyone was super sweet and nice and friendly. We felt like VIPs. My Cover 3 salad was beyond yummy too--mmmm goat cheese and salmon!!! Thank you for making me and my dogs feel welcome and special! You KNOW I'll be back soon!!! Dog people--this is a great place to bring your well-behaved and friendly pups for a relaxing and delicious lunch! read more

I feel like I should like Cover 3 more. It's a classy place. The service is excellent. The food is pretty good (they boast a burger that was top ranked in Texas Monthly). I can drink beer and watch sports without my shoes sticking to the floor. And yet, it's missing something. Maybe it's just the cognitive dissonance of cheering on my favorite teams while eating filet mignon and not screaming. I suppose I'm just a traditionalist. Much like my feelings about the words "Asian" and "fusion," I just don't believe "classy" and "sports bar" really go together. read more

I have to share this one particular experience because this happened on Mother's Day! They were handing out roses to Mom's on certain tables and excluding other tables with moms and kids. I felt there was some kind of preferential treatment for some guests because the table across got roses and the same hostess forgot or omitted on purpose for our table. I was very disappointed as my child was asking me why I did not receive a rose???? I did call and complain to the manager but he seemed dismissive of the whole episode as if it wasn't a big deal and told me that I could stop by to get my rose. I was not desperate for a rose but I was definitely concerned about their lack of sensitivity in a family friendly environment, specially with kids observing. read more

Not your typical sports bar Austin! Ready for that big game? Food is superb! Gourmet burgers, beef tenderloin with poached eggs that melts in your mouth, breakfast quesadillas, and migas to mention a few! The chefs presentation is exquisite and the service is great! Make sure you get their early if your watching a game and be specific because they don't change the tv stations, Also, on Sundays they have a Bloody Mary bar, if that's your thing! It has boiled shrimp, bacon, celery, carrots, jalapeños, and picked vegetables. read more

A continuation of our Austin Burger Quest.....started by last year's Texas Monthly Texas Monthly's Texas Top 50 Burgers and fueled by the 104.9 Burger Bracket...and our love of burgers.... Burger Category: Gourmet Wethinks: The Chophouse Burger is just a damn good burger. Not the best bun in town. I prefer a little softer and a little sweeter. But, the Cover 3 ciabata bun works. Not the quite the tastiest patty in town. It's really good. Others just happen to be a bit better. The veggies are top notch. If you have eaten at Cover 3, you know they use top notch ingredients. Which, of course, makes for a solid burger. And, when you add their bacon and cheese, the only downside to this burger is the price. That said, Cover 3's Parmesan fries almost make you forget about that. And, with sports on TVs around this classy "Sports Bar," the th is worth it. No doubt, Cover 3 is a welcome addition to the Austin restaurant/bar/sports bar scene. Conclusion: As a sports fan and self-proclaimed foodie and burger enthusiast, Cover 3 is firmly in the rotation. Additional Notes: The Trio (Guac, Salsa and Queso) is excellent. So is the shrimp tower. read more

*****SPOILER ALERT****** This review only covers desserts, so if you don't want to know how your meal will end, do not read any further. Ah, desserts. Too often we don't leave room for them. Well, here at Cover 3, it doesn't matter if you have been fasting for a week - you won't have room for any of their desserts. But I urge you - do not let that stop you from trying them. They are big, people. I'm talking gut-busting, make-you-puke enormous. So pace yourself. If you are a chocolate fan, the warm brownie with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and candied nuts is the way to go. You haven't tasted pure, unadulterated chocolate until you have sunk your teeth into this one. There's also a tall, dark, and handsome chocolate cake with raspberry filling that will satisfy your chocolate craving. Now, don't get me wrong, this is a great place to get a drink, but don't rule out dessert at Cover 3. read more

I called at 12:30 to confirm my football game would be on that evening. The party we were meeting arrived before me, so about 30 minutes into the meal I asked the waitress if she could change one of the TV's to show my game. A manager came over and said that the people next to us had been there the entire game and he couldn't just change the tv. I nicely said that they already had the same exact games in right next to it (all someone would have to do is slightly turn their head) and that we too, had been there the entire game. He said well when I get a chance, I'll ask around if they are watching the game. He never checked around. In fact, many of the other patrons had left and he still didn't make any effort to check around and put my game on. For a place who's name is "cover 3" you'd think they'd make some effort to make as many patrons happy as possible. Additionally, the tenderloin salad I ordered without BBQ sauce came out with BBQ sauce on it and it was more leaf than substance. Not thrilled with the salad. Waitress was not by the table often enough either. Football is a BIG deal to my family and I; and so we will not be giving them or cover 2 our business. read more

Love the decor. Our waitress was very good and we even survived the lunch with the twins. They were very accommodating and the rueben was yummy. read more

update - there's also apple in that delicious cole slaw! also there's a FABULOUS server in this restaurant...I believe his name is Cat?? He has to be the first person I've ever come across that made me think "I will ASK for that guy in the future." Anyway, he has helped us twice (he remembered us!) and his timing is impeccable...he's one of those personalities that just draws you to talk to him...he frequently checks on you without being intrusive... I have been generally impressed with all the food we've ordered...the starter with queso, salsa, guac & chips, brick chicken club, chicken fried beef tenderloin, the chop house burger, the hickory burger, all sides...because I was on a roll I took a risk and ordered the batter fried gulf shrimp & oysters...this is the only thing so far I will not revisit. I'm ridiculously critical of seafood...something about living on the coast from 3 months old to 13 years old and therefore having a constant stream of fresh gulf seafood usually prepared at home made me that way. So, I concede it may just be me that doesn't like this starter that much. It wasn't awful or anything, but it was pretty much unremarkable by my standard. read more

Cover 3 is the anti-dingy sports bar. The upstairs area gives me the feeling of multiple living room/den set ups with TVs, couches and coffee tables. It's so great I cannot for the life of me understand why they would not have that section open for a recent Mavericks v. Thunder playoff game even though it was a weekday; an employee told me it's only open on the weekends. I figured it being a weekday versus a weekend didn't matter in Austin since it seems no one works in this city anyways. read more

this is one of those 'people only review things they either love or hate' reviews, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt or at face value, whichever works for you. needless to say given the 1-star rating, i hate this place. i've been to cover 3 on two occasions. the first time, the waiter was extremely disinterested (aloof would be a good word) in our table. he came over once to take our food/drink order, didn't bring our food, and came to give us our check. that was it. and the food was completely unmemorable. i can make better mac and cheese at home. it's hipster pretension-meets-sports bar. totally affected and not special in any way whatsoever. fast forward several months, and a friend and i were craving bloody mary's, so we thought we'd give it a try for brunch, hoping for a better experience. we patiently waited until 11am and arrived starving and thirsty. we were greeted by the hostess, who was on the phone and put up her finger indicating that we should wait for her to complete her call. no big deal, it wasn't totally rude--she seated us right away and wasn't unpleasant about it. here's the kicker--she actually told a group of waiters standing around doing nothing that she just sat a table (us). they have a bloody mary bar, which i thought had the potential to be cool. i got up from the table to check it out after being seated. a waiter, clearly nursing a puffy vagina, audibly said 'oh god' as i walked to the bloody mary bar. yes, he was standing alone and throwing shade at me. eff you, dude. should have left right then, but again, thirst and hunger are powerful forces. have you seen that passive aggressive note thing where the diners wrote 'we waited 30 min NO SERVICE' on the table with ketchup? well, had there been condiments on the table, i would have written that. well, it was more like 10 minutes, but adding the 'oh god' comment, it was insult to injury. there was a stream of waiters walking by our table the whole time. by the time one finally arrived, my friend and i had already decided to leave. in sum, avoid this 'sports bar' unless you want to support the hipster chic wave of restaurants that have been rearing their ugly heads in austin as of late. read more

Food was decent. Terrible service. Ordered 3 rounds of drinks, the quickest round got to us 20 minutes after ordering. We had to flag down our server an hour and forty minutes after arriving because no one had taken our food order. Salads were good, Mac and cheese wasn't great (watery), chicken wings really good but did not receive the side dressing we ordered. Asked 2 different times after food was delivered but never received. Finally gave up after 20 min since food was getting cold waiting. Nice outdoor area, decent food, but service definitely needs work. read more

My 5th visit to Cover 3 last week and I'm compelled to put this out there. The food is really super great although a bit pricey. Love their shrimp enchiladas - best I've ever had. The seared ahi tuna is fantastic! And the drinks are tasty and different. Love it! read more

My boyfriend and I have made this place our go to restaurant for major sporting events. Yesterday we showed up at 7:30pm and it was busy. We told the hostess that we were there to watch the USA v MEX soccer game in which she told us they would only be showing it on 1 TV close to the bar area. At that time all the booths in that area were taken so we sat at the tall tables with stools. We were given a buzzer and the main hostess told us that once the booths cleared out we would have first dibs on them. We were greeted by a friendly waitress who took our drink order and asked if we would be staying for a meal since we had the buzzer. We explained our situation and she told us that those booths were hers for the night so she would take care of us and get us settled in as they came available. I asked her what her favorite appetizer was, she said the CHICKEN TINGA NACHOS. These arrived quickly given the dinner rush on a Saturday night. The combination of Queso, Pepper Jack, Poblano Peppers, Onions, Black Beans & Avocado were the bomb! These were delicious, had great portions of toppings, and my bf and I fought over the last bite. My words don't do it justice. When you go, you must order these!!! Within 30-45 mins we were seated to a booth. We then proceeded to order the crab and shrimp tower with a brownie dessert. My bf enjoyed the crab & shrimp tower. The brownie was the size of a medium sized plate. I was shocked at its size, clearly 4 plus people could have devoured its delicious and richness. The night was filled with good food, great drinks- Strawberry Basil Lemonade, and awesome sports. As the night progressed and the game started they had more tvs showing the soccer game. We'll definitely be back. ;-) read more

First timer, but for sure will be back! Went to watch the Cowboys game. Great atmosphere, friendly servers, lots and lots of TV's and over the top food and drink! I had the Ruben sandwich. As good if not better than any deli. I love Austin! read more

My wife, 1 yr old, and I came for dinner at 6:30. I ordered the brick chicken mac & cheese and the wife ordered the chicken chop salad. Food comes out 30 min later. Her salad is decent, but my mac and cheese is saltier than the Dead Sea. Now I love salt, I love salt so much that I have 5 kinds of salt at home and even made a custom table salt shaker so I could dispense salt 10x faster than a normal shaker. I have NEVER been served a dish that was too salty. I also have NEVER sent food back because of a fear that the replacement dish will have spit as an extra ingredient. I tried to tough my way through this dish, but by the third bite my water was half empty and my tongue was stinging. I sent it back and ordered a burger. So I sit there watching my wife and 1 yr old eat their food. There's no bread or chips so I just make idle chatter and steal an occasional guilty bite from my wife's plate. After a half hour my wife's done with her meal, the baby's long done, and we're now all just staring at the empty space where my dinner should be. We spend the next 5 min trying to flag down our waitress to ask about my food. I was finally done too. I get up and chase down the waitress to get the check. NEVER again. read more

I never realized that I've actually been here +5 times and I've never had a bad experience. It has good food and drinks and a vibe that accommodates most any occasion. Sports for the guys, a decent lunch, outdoor space, and an upstairs for parties. read more

Uppity pretentious bar/restaurant in a completely laid back neighborhood. It doesn't make any sense. Cover 3 is trying to be a fancy downtown establishment in the wrong part of town. I remember the food being fairly decent, but the bartender was a douche and he charged us for drinks that we didn't order and then he refused to fix it. He basically said "there is no way in hell I messed up, you have to pay for them." I usually can ignore faults like this and just review the place solely on their food merits, but Cover 3 was so terrible with service, atmosphere, and attitude that I just couldn't ignore it. I will never give them my business again. read more

We only went here because The Goodnight was closed. We got slow service and the bartender was VERY DISRESPECTFUL to my friend. Not impressed... The female (blonde) bartender was really sweet, but everyone else we encountered... Not so much. read more

Finally tried Cover 3. We were planning on going out for sushi but at the last minute decided to try Cover 3. My partner & I were very impressed. We both loved the layout & it's such a beautiful place, nice lighting, nice granite bar & great service. The food was excellent, I ordered the chophouse burger which was excellent. Came on a homebaked bun. My only complaint was I ordered well done & it was closer to meduim. I sent it back & it came out quickly & perfect the 2nd time around. My partner ordered a steak salad which was also excellent. The only downside we could find was the $5 draft beer. Shouldn't a draft be $3.50, maybe $4, but a $5 Shiner is a bit greedy. We thought the prices on everything were just a bit higher than they should be but hey.....it is a beautiful place. As for the sportsbar feel......not at all. Yes, there are TV's but the sound is muted. I hardly noticed them at all. I say-THUMBS UP for awesome food & atmosphere. Oh....& they even have a nice lounge upstairs. read more

We were walking down Anderson one night trying to decide on a place to eat dinner and chose Cover3 because we had never been before. Both of us were pleasantly surprised by the interior and the food. It was much less of a sports bar than we thought it would be. The inside is quite nice and the menu has much more than just bar food. I had the Allandale salad and it was really good. If you haven't given Cover 3 a shot yet, I would recommend it! read more

I went to Cover 3 with a large group (and by large, I mean close to 50 guests). Cover 3 was great at accommodating us. They moved tables so we could all sit together and quickly took our orders. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, and it was fresh and delicious. I look forward to coming back here soon to try their other options! read more

Great addition to the center of Austin. In the Allandale-Crestview area, we needed this: a casual-to-upscale eatery meets sports bar. My wife and I eat there every ten days or so, and the service, food and atmosphere is perfect to unwind, catch a game or enjoy a nice glass fo wine. The calamari is among the best in Austin, and we've had the sliders (tenderloin), ahi tuna burger, Allandale salad and scallops. Everything has been excellent! read more

We were trying to figure out how to describe this place. I didn't think it was really a sports bar because usually those places (3rd Base, etc) don't have a lot of good seating, there's not enough wait staff and they serve some simple bar food. Cover 3 is a restaurant that loves sports. Lots of tables for groups, definitely more restaurant style. The wait staff was very attentive, lots of different beverages and the food was good! I admit I was excited for the HH I was going to but really wanted to be able to watch a game and was able to do that since they had plenty of well placed TV. I will def. go back! read more

I ate at Cover 3 last weekend with a friend who was in town for a break from school and her family. Her parents know the owner so we were seated very quickly despite a packed house. For people who don't know the owner, expect the wait to be 45 min to an hour if you go at 7:30 on a Friday. The place is cavernous and pretty noisy when it's crowded... Definitely not the place for an intimate dinner, but perfect for a fun dinner with friends/family. Flat screen TVs and a few projector screens litter the walls playing sporting events, but it's not cluttered like most sports bars tend to feel. The bar is large and accommodates overflow with extra bar tables and stools nearby. We sat in a booth, and they're comfortable. The service was nothing particularly special, but friendly and quick, especially considering the amount of people who were there. The crowd is pretty yuppie, but the food more than makes up for that vibe. Now for the food. My friend and her parents had dined here before, so they had a lot of suggestions for me. I shared one of the salads with my friend (can't remember the name). It had apple slices, feta cheese, walnuts, etc, and a very light oil dressing. Very nice. For my meal, I decided to have the Reuben from all the suggestions I was getting. The sandwich was quite large with more than enough beef. The bread wasn't soggy at all, the sauerkraut was very tasty too. Probably the freshest-tasting Reuben I've every had, and among the best I've had. The Parmesan fries that came with it might as well be considered a Schedule 1 addictive drug. I tasted some of the other food around the table as well. My friend's brick chicken was seasoned and cooked very nicely. The mac and cheese was just fine but nothing really special. I could have made a meal of the garlic mashed potatoes (One side dish is more than enough for two to share). And the coleslaw is strangely good. I normally don't like coleslaw, but theirs is particularly fresh and light and has interesting ingredients like apples and other things I don't remember. Also, if you don't save room for the Key Lime pie for desert, you might as well go somewhere else for dinner. Creamy, perfect amount of lime taste, and the crust is like the gods' ambrosia. read more

Overpriced. Not really a sports bar. Mediocre service. Sub-par food. meh. read more

Walked in with my daughter on a Sunday (11/6/2011) there were SEVERAL empty tables outside on patio and inside the place. Me:"Table for two please., Hostess: "There's about a 20-30 minute wait." Me:"But there's tons of empty tables on the patio and inside." Hostess: "Yes but we have a bunch of reservations for the afternoon football games." Me: "You accept reservations on Sunday during football season and want me to wait 20-30 minutes for a table when there a several empty tables right now?" Hostess:"Sorry yes there is a wait." Me: "There are PLENTY of other options in this area to watch football and spend $50.00 doing so, have a great day, I'm leaving." The main problem with this place is they have an identity crisis are you an "upscale sports bar" or an "upscale establishment" that happens to show sports on TV, because if you aren't an "upscale sports bar" then you should stop advertising on the local sports radio stations as such. read more

The reason I have been back here are the exact reasons some people don't. No smoking (who smokes any more, really?) and they don't serve pitchers of beer (college was over 20 years ago) Great food, no neon signs and no kids. If you can't afford a $7 Goose on the rocks, go to the Chuggin Monkey. read more

I made an account just to tell everyone how much this place sucked. Drinks were a decent price but the positives stop there. Apparently they think Mexican Martinis should be different here than everywhere else so don't order one expecting a shaker to come along with it, because it doesn't. Enchiladas tasted like wet tortilla with bad meat and there was a piece of plastic inside of my enchilada (which wasn't even the worst part about my food). Macaroni and Cheese was comparable to Kraft, and chicken was dry. Do yourself a favor and head somewhere else. read more

We frequent cover 3 before we hit up our movies at Alamo Village. They have a great happy hour that goes from 4-7, M-F and involves discounts on drinks and apps. Their apps selection is solid and includes sliders so you can more than fill up. We have had the nachos (delicious and great value), wings (buffalo are our favorite but spicy ranch are okay), lettuce wraps (not quite PF Changs but they are still delicious), and various sliders. The sliders have all been solid and are quite filling. The beer selection is always good and the cocktails look good, although we are yet to try any. The service is mediocre on some days and great on others, but no real complaints. Also, small dog friendly patio! If you are tired of eating at Alamo, we definitely recommend cover 3 to mix it up. read more

This is hard for me to review. The food we had was excellent, especially the Greek calamari. Probably one of my favorite dishes ever (really good calamari with feta, olives, red pepper sauce, arugula and tomato salad). For the entree we split the chicken fried beef tenderloin with green chili gravy- awesome. The green beans that came with the dish were mushy, and the mashed potatoes were just well, mashed potatoes, but the main part of the meal was really good. Ok, so here is where my having trouble reviewing comes in. I actually think the concept of the place is really stupid. Upscale sports bar? So yes, they had tvs, even a big screen but with no sound. I mean, it was just U.S. vs Mexico in soccer but there were people there interested in the game. And the draft beer selection, poor and expensive. This is not a place I would ever say "hey let's go watch a game at Cover 3 and drink expensive beers while eating expensive food that doesn't really go with beer". So yeah, I think they are confused as to what their identity should be. But the food is really good. Maybe I am just the one who is confused. read more

Drinks, food and service is all an A+. Also, I can't leave desert out as it's absolutely incredible!
