Service is so important and Paige was an outstanding host. Quick to welcome and serve with friendly words and smile!! Chargrilled oysters were great - followed by the crab au gratin. Green beans, broccoli and a side salad completed a delicious meal! Ambiance was quiet at 4pm on opening - just what was needed! read more

Great Cajun food , reasonable price ,great service our server Paige was very helpful and assertive definitely recommend this place !!!

Great food and great service! I ordered the Seafood Combo and it was delicious. Highly recommended!

Service was fast and precise. The waitress was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu items. She served us with pride and was always there to check on our meal and asked if we needed anything else; enough to be of service but not so much to be overbearing. We arrived about 8:00 PM after we found a hotel for the evening and had the gumbo with potato salad. Mmmm....good. read more

The blackened redfish is the best I've had! Our server, Reba, is a gem. Ask for her table! She will do you good! read more

Great service and great food. The wait staff was helpful. Had the smoked old fashioned drink. Was really good!

I stopped in here for the first time for a late lunch/early dinner on a Thursday and since I was alone, the hostesses politely asked me if I would like to sit at the bar. I am leery of getting good food service when at a bar, but since it wasn't busy, I decided to try it out. I was not disappointed. Both bartenders were super nice, attentive and even welcoming. Since it was my first time, I requested assistance with my order from one of the bartenders. She recommended the Fourchon, so that is what I ordered. The Green Beans had real bacon and onions and were tasty and delicious. I really enjoyed them. The Fish Filet filled the plate up nicely, and had a wonderfully crunchy crust that kept it from getting soggy from the Lump Crab Cream Sauce on top which was a delicious counterpoint to the huge piece of fish. I wasn't too impressed with the Hushpuppies - they were too small and hard and not flavorful enough and I was disappointed in the Grits because I love Grits and was really looking forward to tasting Don's take on them. However, they were too wet, soggy, gummy and the topping was barely differentiated from the Grits underneath because it was wet and soggy too. Worst of all, it had a weird aftertaste. I couldn't even make myself finish eating them and I've been trained to clean my plate. Lol! I would definitely eat here again, and even order the same thing, but I would sub in a different side for the Grits. Since this restaurant was conveniently located right in front of my hotel and was so delicious, I returned the following Monday. I ordered the Catfish Acadian and got a side of Macaroni & Cheese. The Catfish was seasoned well, was a good portion, and tasted very good. Not as good as the first fish dish I ate, but very good for what it was. The Macaroni & Cheese was some of the best I have eaten in a long time and the portion was large enough to be satisfying instead of leaving you dissatisfied. The Macaroni & Cheese alone was enough to keep me coming back regularly. Lol! Two days later, on a Wednesday, I was back. I ordered the Cajun Ravioli and the Macaroni & Cheese. I asked the waitress if the Crawfish Cream Sauce was as good as the Jumbo Lump Crab Sauce I had already tried and she offered to sub it in for me. The Ravioli was delicious, but the Jumbo Lump Crab Cream Sauce definitely made that dish. Since it was individual bites, it could actually easily be a shareable Appetizer for a couple. The next day, on Thursday, I was already back again. This time I got the Grilled Shrimp Tacos and the Macaroni & Cheese. The Tacos were delicious and I would definitely order them again. The next day, on Friday, I was back. Clearly, at this time, I have leveled up to "regular" status. I ordered the Classic Cheeseburger. It was large and delicious. It's starting to blur now because I can't remember if I ordered Macaroni & Cheese this time. Lol! The next day, on Saturday, I ordered the Ribeye with Macaroni & Cheese. I ordered the Steak medium and it was cooked correctly and was tasty and delicious and even though I couldn't eat it all, I definitely ate the leftovers! Throughout all of my visits, I only sat at a table twice. The rest of the time, I felt so welcome at the bar, I sat there. All of the hostesses were friendly and welcoming and my servers were good at their jobs and took care of me in a timely manner. I never had to wait too long for my food and it was always served hot. On top of all of that, you can even grab a peppermint on the way out. Needless to say, I definitely recommend this place, and as far as I can tell, as long as you order Macaroni & Cheese for your Side, you can't go wrong! Lol! Happy eating. read more

Traveling through and was so excited to get to towns with seafood. I wanted to love it but I didn't. I had the 1/2 fried shrimp & 1/2 etoufee. I've got to say I wasn't impressed. The shrimp were like popcorn shrimp and some weren't deveined which is a big turn off for me. The etoufee wasn't hot. Hubby got the regular fried shrimp which looked like any "fried shrimp" meal should look. He was kind enough to switch shrimp with me, though some of those weren't deveined. Flavor was average at best. He had grilled corn on the cob which he said was just ok, should know it's not corn season yet. The Mac & cheese was pretty tasty with a spicy kick. It was obvious I didn't eat any of the etoufee but the waitress never asked if there was an issue. The ambience was nice. The women's bathroom was clean. Hubby said the bathroom has soft tissue so they should get a 5.‍ sorry but I can't do that read more

Paige was the absolute best. She was very attentive and nice. The food was amazing! The ambience was very cozy. I had the Cajun ravioli and it was very good and rich. The hush puppies were sweet and good. I'll most definitely come back if I'm on the area. read more

The place itself is very inviting. Lots of TV's which had the Rose Bowl on when we were there. Our server, Jules was a very pleasant and good server. Food was fast and good. We both had grilled shrimp tacos. Not oyster fans, but they actually looked good. read more

Ms. Reba was awesome! Her service was impeccable and was extremely attentive. The food was good but the service a GREAT. We sat outside and it was pleasant and the ambiance was great. I would come back for Ms.Reba read more

Great service. Crawfish bisque is my go-to app. Jacked up oysters were nice, but regular chargrilled would have hit the spot. Always wish fish platter had more food for the price, but it is nice to not have to-go box issue as well. We have a fancy old fashioned with smoke, but I think our bartender was a little overwhelmed by the whole rigamorol it requires. A regular old fashioned would have been just fine. read more

This is our first time here. In lieu of it being Valentine's Day and Covid ...we had good service from Chase. Parking is plentiful. We came after the lunch rush around 2 pm. Our bread was good and the spinach dip my hubby liked. My hubby got the shrimp tacos. He says the fried shrimp tasted old as compared to the BR location. He raced about the BR location but thought these tacos were just mediocre. My friend ordered the Ravioli. She said it was good and the only thing that made it Cajun was the crawfish cream sauce on top. The ravioli itself was fried and underwhelming. My meal was even more underwhelming. The seafood combo had very little on the plate. My entire dish tasted old and cold. Even the fries were undercooked. My catfish pieces were soo thin and small that it was over cooked. The only thing I liked on this plate was the shrimp. My fried oysters were soggy when I picked it up. I felt like they just fried up a bunch of food at the same time and served it instead of making it to order. My étouffée was also cold. I'm not sure what that was about. Overall I would say my meal was not as enjoyable as it might it could have been. Maybe it was just a bad day. I may or may not try it again...but there's soo many more seafood joints for me to try... read more

The food is average at best. We chose this place based on reviews and were disappointed. We're tourist from out of state & have had excellent food in LA, so perhaps we were expecting more of a good thing. Our group ordered several dishes & appetizers. The grilled & jacked-up oysters were really good, as well as the shrimp & grits, but overall the food was very salty and steak over cooked. We had a party of six and all enjoyed the oysters, but only one person enjoyed their entree. Our waitress was a bit rigid and didn't smile but other staff were friendly. read more

Went to Don's last night for dinner/drinks. We sat at the bar. Got the fried shrimp dinner. When it arrived, it was a little over cooked. Danielle, the manager, quickly took it back to the kitchen and appeared in a bit with new shrimp. Love it when a restaurant fixes an issue quickly like that. Went on to have a yummy dinner which was very good. Our friend got the fried shrimp/fish dinner and asked that her fish come out very thin, which it did, and she said it was delicious. Service was great at the bar and our bartender Victoria was great! read more

Someone explain this to me. Total was $103.36. Military discount and gift card of 40.00 should bring total down to $63.36 right? Add 18% mandatory tip of $17.87 brings total to $81.23. Basic Math. Someone explain this to me. Total was $103.36. Military discount and gift card of 40.00 accounted for, it would bring total down to $63.36 right? Add 18% mandatory tip of $17.87 brings total up to $81.23. Basic Math. Now receipt that I signed... Total it's $69.26. How did it go from $63.36 to $69.26? Where is the $6.10 difference? If is not on the receipt as a meal or other item. How did the waitress tip go down.... But bill stayed the same? If the mandatory tip lowered for some reason, would the total bill lower too? So her tip now looks lower, so my wife added $10.00. $21.97 tip is good. But in reality she was still getting $17.87 tip and we added $10.00 and made it 27.87. What an absolute scam. I called Don's and asked about the issues on the bill. Arthur told me their cashier software was attacked by Russian malware and they don't know what happened. Yes he actually said this. Are you serious? No, your waitress finagled the bill. Thanks for the theft of $6.10 Don's. If it isn't theft, explain where it went. Won't be back. read more

Amazing service! Incredibileeeeeee fried shrimp!!! Red beans - no words. I will definitely be back when in the area.

Wonderful food, service and ambiance! Definitely will be returning very soon! Bartenders are prompt to serve and make amazing suggestions!

Don's is located on a side street off Hwy 190 in Covington, nestled between some office buildings. Watch the 190 traffic, as you can miss your turn and end up in an endless loop of U turns. My co-workers and local friends are indifferent about this place. No one hates it, but it never comes to the top of their preferred lunch/ dinner spots unless we have out of town guests who want to try the local flavor. I've only had lunch here, but everything has been good. I've had the shrimp poboy, seafood gumbo, and fried catfish. I didn't cut my mouth on the sourdough bread and the shrimp was fresh and juicy in the poboy. The fried food wasn't overly dry nor greasy. The side salads are crispy and refreshing. The service is pretty prompt during the lunch service. Overall, this works as a solid lunch spot in Covington. It's quick, easy, and casual enough for a good weekday lunch to introduce out of town folks to Louisiana cuisine. read more
