Best bar restaurant in area. Southern hospitality from the owner the the bar back not a bad word to say. Would 100 percent recommend Brandon and his crew at dons read more

Everything here is spicy. If you like spicy food, this is the place for you. The crab stuffed shrimp is very good as is the redfish. The hush puppies have a kick to them also. But it is very loud and can be crowded especially on game days. read more

I would love to say this was a good experience but unfortunately it was not. The manager Jacob was great very nice and helpful wanting to make the customer experience good. So I gave it two stats bc customer service is great, food is not. Had jacked up oysters again, small oysters with shell bits in them no jalapeños, little bacon over priced. Also had red beans- bland no flavor, jacked up shrimp- small small shrimp no jalapeños- not good. Family had other items, not good. Customer service is great, food is not- high prices. Acme or copelands are right down street, much better food. read more

Nice atmosphere and a great menu if you want something fried. I had gumbo and red beans. I enjoyed the red beans, which was well seasoned with the taste of sausage. The gumbo however was just a plain gravy with seafood. I recommend the red beans and Abita beer. read more

Great, relaxed atmosphere; delicious Cajun cuisine, although, not too spicy; friendly service ... Great choice for dinner!

Fantastic food and service! Tina is great and Jacob is super attentive and cares about his customers! A big fat 2 thumbs up and 5 stars for Don's is my new favorite spot in Covington! read more

Went for a late lunch, sat at the bar and ordered a beer (Shock Top). I ordered a fried shrimp and shrimp etouffee combo. The meal was fine but nothing to brag about. After finishing my meal the bartender asked if I would like another beer and informed me that the beers were 2 for 1 so the next beer would be no charge. I said no thanks since it was the middle of the day and I had to drive. When I got my bill, I found out that the beers are not 2 for 1, since the charge for the 1 beer was $9.50. If you know beers, you know that $9.50 is very expensive for a pint of Shock Top, most bar/restaurants I've been to these days charge $4 - $6. The bartender should have told me that they were going to charge me for 2 beers even if I was only going to drink 1, If I had known that, I would not have ordered a beer. I will never go back to Don's since I feel like I got ripped off. read more

I had an awesome meal here at Don's in Covington. I'm here on business staying in a nearby hotel. I sat at the bar and was served by Tina who was a fantastic host. I had an awesome time eating a grilled seafood salad and bread pudding. The 2 for 1 margaritas were equally awesome. Thanks for a great dining experience.There were so many great items on the menu to choose from. I will be back! read more

Tasty seafood pretty good service & very convenient to the hotel we stayed at I asked for lightly blackened red fish & it was tasty. Mashed potatoes were good read more

I visited this restaurant based on the Yelp reviews. I visited on a Thursday evening, service was fast, out waitress was really nice and made sure to keep us serviced in a timely manner. She checked on us every approx every 7 minutes which was great. I would definitely recommend this place to family that lives here as I am from out of state. read more

Extremely underwhelmed. I had the seafood platter to go. I have paid have the price for much higher quality food. The stuffed crab was mostly bread with a bit of crab it it. I asked the hostess if the stuffed shrimp was the unbreaded version like on the grill menu. She said yes... I got fried stuffed shrimp which was dissapointing. They butterfly the fried shrimp in the typical fashion of places trying to make the shrimp appear larger than they are. Oysters were small and catfish was thin but the taste was okay overall. The etoufee was not probably the best thing on the plate. I also had the boudin balls which were okay but again I have had better. I asked for a side salad and was charged for it but it was not in the bag. Had to go back to the restaurant for the salad. Only went here as I was traveling on business. Will try to find a mom and pop place next time. read more

Really good food . The Jacked Up Shrimp was good but a little oily. Gumbo good but a little spicey for our ladies. Service was excellent.

The waitress was really great. She was real sweet and on the ball. The oysters were good on a half shell, the cocktail sauce not so good. Not that expensive. My boyfriend and I split the seafood platter and we had plenty of food left after we were full. read more

If you're looking for decent fried seafood, this place is as good as any I suppose. We tried it on a Thursday evening...unknowingly, it was "all you can eat fried catfish and fried shrimp". We didn't get the "all you can eat" special, instead we ordered 2 appetizers, 2 kids' meals, 2 entrees (1 which was a seafood salad), 1 dessert and 1 beer...$102, before tip. Pretty steep for mediocre food. The kids' catfish was good, the fries were disappointing, typical frozen fries. The garlic bread was good (you can put butter and garlic on practically anything and it will turn out good, am I right?), but they definitely try and push it on you in case you're there for the all you can eat seafood. They seemed disappointed that we only wanted 1 plate of garlic bread...nonetheless, the service was good. All in all, nothing special, menu is very heavy on carbs, even my fish of the day (I opted for broiled speckled trout instead of fried) only came with mashed potatoes, would have preferred some roasted veggies, perhaps. The menu variety was very typical for a seafood place, unfortunately, nothing there to draw us back. read more

Eaten their twice recently. Service was great both times. Redfish was delicious. Crabmeat au gratin for my wife was very creamy and cheesy.

Always good service...Charbroiled Oysters Kacked Up are awesome. Can go wrong if you're looking for some local flavor.

Loved their seafood gumbo, that's about it.Was looking forward to the crab au gratin it comes with a small portion of two other sides, all three were not very tasty, looked messy. Just don't want to go back. It was not a bad experience but not a good one either. read more

Emily is the most attentive staff member we have had at Don's. She knows when to check on you and when to leave you alone. The best items we have had are the jacked up oysters and the seafood salad. If you go make sure you sit in Emily's area. You will not be disappointed. read more

Visiting this area from Florida decided to stop in Don's seafood for a late lunch early dinner. Order the shrimp po boy and a sweet tea it was excellent more than I could eat shrimp melted in your mouth. Rachel was my server was professional attentive friendly always made sure I was satisfied. Josh the manager on duty at that time came over to me as I wanted to compliment him on his staff. Josh and I ended up talking for a bit regarding the Covington area and some of our life experiences in the restaurant business as well as working with the public. I cannot think Josh enough for the insight that he gave me regarding the area and things to look for my possible relocation. I will definitely stop in before I leave the Louisiana area again Josh and Rachel thank you for your southern hospitality. read more

Don's Seafood has the best seafood in Covington, they have great tasting seafood soups, bisque, oysters, and catfish.

Man for $25 the food sure has shrunk. 4shrimp 3 oysters 1 stuffed crab and stuffed shrimp and 4 THIN pieces of fish. Some stuff was cold. The gumbo bowl was so small it had to have been a 4 ounce or less. The fries were stale also. Very disappointed!! read more

Awesome food and thank you for the great service by Brittany! Hope to be back soon to try other food on the menu.

We brought a party of over 40 adults and kids. They accommodated us like champs. Cayla, the waitress, that got the table of kids was amazing. I also witnessed her do a random act of kindness when no one else was watching. She was amazing. The bartenders were awesome too. Highly recommend the char grilled and jacked up oysters! read more

Nice place. Nice people. Food was way over rated. Crawfish tasted like it was boiled twice from left overs. Fried fish tasted like swamp water! Small portions for the money also. read more

Always a pleasant experience!! Tina and Aubrey always have smiles on their faces and make sure that we have any and everything we need!! Don's should be proud to have these two ladies representing them!!! read more

Excellent food. Service was great. Atmosphere was great. We had a large party and was accommodated quickly would visit the Covington location again. read more

Rough start with dirty menus. However, food and service was amazing. The zydeco shrimp was the best! We even purchased some pepper jelly to take home. We also had the jacked up shrimp and hamburger steak. Great meal choice! read more

As you might or might NOT BE AWARE THERE ARE SEVERAL DON's SEAFOOD RESTUARANT's all over in LA. There are many Don's Seafood restaurants between New Orleans to Baton Rouge within a mile or two at most apart. read more

We just ate here and can't say enough good things about our server, Alexis. She was super sweet and friendly and just amazing. She explained everything on the menu to us in detail- she knew the menu inside and out. I can't recommend her enough!! Will definitely be back. read more

My friends were asked to leave this location for speaking Spanish. They spoke English when being seated but were overheard speaking Spanish and refused service. They were on a road trip returning from Alabama. read more

Always an enjoyable meal. Good variety and always good service. Can't beat happy hour all day every day! And they have great daily specials! read more

I would give a 3-1\2 stars. The servers were very good. We had a group of 14, I called ahead. They set aside a room set for 20. I told more people may show up, but 14 for sure. I received a free cup of chicken and andouille sausage, which was very good. I ordered the all you can eat shrimp. The shrimp was also very good. The server let us know the restaurant is going to make changes soon. I don't know if that means changes to the decor, or everything. Dinner for 3 came to $81 total with the tips. A little over priced, for what was presented. I would eat here again read more

Hell where do I start! It was absolutely awful! The fist strike was when we called to make a reservation and we were told to hold on that we would be contacted later.... they called 3 hours later, 10 min before the time we asked for the reservation. When we got there,, I was the only one to get a refill the entire night & that was because I asked. Bread was supposed to come out with our meal but ours came at the end of the meal after we asked for it.... the waiter repeatedly brought out the wrong sauces. We asked to separate the tickets and it was not done. One of acquaintances food that she ordered which were shrimp was completely cold and tasteless. The salads that where ordered came with the meal instead of before it. Do not go I am saving you the time and money! read more

Great environment and service. Food is always fresh and the 2 for drinks are a must. Oh and the bread pudding is to die for.

Inedible food. Ordered the bisque and gumbo... they were too salty to eat. Had a strawberry frozen margarita, not only was it tiny as were the beer glasses.... but, I'm pretty sure there was almost no alcohol in it. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp dinner it was pretty basic... nothing special. I ordered the boiled shrimp it was so spicy I couldn't even eat it. My meal was removed from the ticket which was nice. read more

We were going to eat at Don's Seafood in Covington today but was left sitting there for like 20 minutes, no drink orders or anything, so we got up and left. They were not busy and the table next to us was constantly getting service! We left there and went to the most fantastic Mexican Restaurant. Don's lost two customers today FOREVER! I know the waiter that was suppose to be ours heard me tell the group of young ladies (about five of them), at the front door doing nothing, about why we were leaving. I am sure nothing will be done to him but if Don's was smart they would get rid of him immediately!!! read more

Had lunch there twice and dinner once---3 strikes and Don's is out. Nothing was worth the money. I gave them three chances.

I really don't like their gumbo to watery, some of the other seafood dishes are ok but the whole package makes my experience there not so good! Management seems to show partiality to servers! read more

Very slow service and they were not busy. Our waiter stood around and talked to anybody who would stop long enough to listen. After 30 min waiting for our appetizer he finally brings us a platter we had been watching sit under a heat lamp hoping it wasn't ours. He then asked if we had anything else and suddenly realizes he didn't turn our order in. So long story short it was a $65 meal for two. Food was ok but nothing to write home about...as for our waiter all I can say is bless his heart. read more

We had a good experience here last night. Yes, it is expensive, but seafood is expensive these days. We did get a ton of food though! It wasn't the best but it was better than most and I would go back. There is another restaurant that we do like better, but they have gotten way out of line with prices. But this review is about Don's. I loved the garlic bread served at the start- you get hush puppies with your meal. We weren't in the mood for an appetizer but the waiter offered us a sample of the grilled oyster and the "jacked up" oyster. My husband took him up on it and said the grilled oyster was good. Jacked up means cheese and bacon on top. He wasn't crazy about the cheese but he said the oyster itself was a really really good one. We got a cup of gumbo to share. Again, not the best I've ever had, but for restaurant gumbo it was very good- thick dark roux and tons and tons of crabmeat!!!! Really, the only better is made at home. The children's shrimp plate was a great deal- had tons of popcorn shrimp. The little girl couldn't eat all of them and she is a shrimp monster. Greg's fried oyster plate was plentiful, crispy and he seemed happy. I got the Thursday night special which is $14.99 all you can eat fried shrimp and catfish. I figured they could eat the catfish, which they like and I don't and he could have some of my shrimp and I could always get more. The shrimp were butterflied and fried crispy. The catfish was thin and crispy. My one piece was fine, but he said his was too thin and so just tough. The hushpuppies were my only complaint- mushy inside. But I don't care about hushpuppies so whatever. Believe it or not, Greg said yes when the waiter offered him a complimentary bread pudding (it was his birthday.) He brought out a huge piece- could have fed 6 people! When I remarked the waiter said he took the biggest piece because he knew we were sharing. Ok, so he got a nice tip. Our waiter was attentive and friendly but not too much and I wish I had gotten his name. Back to the bread pudding. Again, very good, maybe not the best, but so much better than other soggy crap I've been offered. There was no fruit in it, which is good! It was creamy on the inside and crispy on the edges. The decor is nice, it's dark with booths and tables and a big bar. Old photos on the walls. I've heard about their Old Fashions, so I would go again for drinks definitely. read more
