Avocado toast and grits with debris at Girls Brunch
Tami D.

I had a great time here for Sunday brunch. The girls requested cranberry mimosas and wow, were they good. Of all the things on the menu, I got the avocado toast and a side of grits and debris gravy. The avocado toast was good with a balsamic drizzle and the grits and debris were good, as well. The next time I visit, I'm getting the biscuits and gravy and a side of bacon. I got to sample one and the white gravy was outstanding.

Love their spinach & artichoke dip! Especially the gigantic fried tortillas to dip with! This place never disappoints. Been coming here for years.

The signature Fat Spoon Omelet, with grits and wheat toast.

My wife and I returned to the Fat Spoon in Covington and enjoyed another great breakfast. She had her fav the Greek omelet and I had the Eggs NOLA specialty. Both were great, as was the coffee, and the service was friendly and efficient. Can be crowded and a little noisy at times, in diner-like surroundings, but the Fat Spoon is one of the best breakfasts on the Northshore.

Avocado toast

I wanted to give them a higher score, but.... Took my husband here for his birthday. I wanted to try a new place. You could see the restaurant from the he street, very bright and big sign. Parking was great, its in a strip mall. The restaurant was clean inside and out. The restroom was also clean...tv's on all 4 corners of the restaurant. So, why did I give it a 3? We walked into the restaurant and was not greeted. The girl behind the counter never acknowledged us. We took a seat because you can pick your own seat and it. But none of the staff greeted... It took a minute before the young lady came, she was nice but I wouldn't say friendly, but cordial. The food was good. I had the avocado toast, which was tasty, but I could have done without the balsamic that was drizzled on it. It was really thick. My husband had the grits, eggs, sausage and a waffle. He liked it, but he said the waffle was a little dry. Oh yeah! They only have whole milk, no other options. It's not a bad spot, I would say try it because you might have a better experience.

This location is pretty bad I won't be back. I simply ordered two eggs over easy, a biscuit, ham and hashbrowns. The biscuits come out cold because they sit in a basket on the shelf in the kitchen because the Cook is too lazy to keep them warm. He's also too lazy to make fresh hashbrowns because he takes frozen french fries and cuts them up a little pieces, and they're terrible and cold for some reason the ham even came out cold. The only thing decent were the eggs they were cooked perfectly. I'd fire the Cook get somebody somebody in there that knows what they're doing and it might actually get better but the staff is not very friendly either. They've got lots of problems that's all I can say.

Shrimp and Grits and a side of fresh strawberries

LUMORA - Buffalo Chicken Pinsa at Lumora

LUMORA

(40 reviews)

Today, we enjoyed a Valentine's Day lunch at Lumora Kitchen and Bar in Covington. Lumora is…read morerelatively new and is by the same folks responsible for The District in Ponchatoula, which is one of our favs. Located on Highway 190, Lumora has a stylish, contemporary persona that is decidedly upscale, but still possesses a comfortable, laid-back vibe that is quite appealing. Service was friendly and efficient and Taylor took excellent care of us. General Manager Josie dropped by our table to share info on Lumora and her visit was appreciated. There is a full bar and a wide selection of specialty cocktails. Today I had a Blood Orange Mezcal Margarita and my wife had an Ex-Presso Martini. Both were great! I highly recommend the Mezcal spice served up on the Margarita's rim in place of the standard salt. We then enjoyed the Zydeco Eggroll appetizer, which the pepper jelly garnish made truly memorable. I then followed with the Buffalo Chicken Pinsa and my wife had the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pinsa. Both were excellent; hot, pleasantly spicy, and generously portioned. We took home a lot of food. Although we had no room for dessert, several on the menu looked quite sumptuous. In short, Lumora Kitchen and Bar is highly recommended! It's a great spot for lunch, happy hour drinks, or a special date night. We will return.

The food was delicious,except the bacon wrapped shrimp under cooked. Unfortunately, the service…read morewas incredibly bad and really took away from the experience. We were a table of 7, ordered appetizers, and were brought the check immediately after--before anyone ever asked if we wanted entrees or dessert. It felt extremely rushed and unwelcoming. The servers were rude, inattentive, and made us feel like they just wanted us out of there. To make matters worse, we were overcharged, and my credit card was run before I was even shown the final bill, which is completely unacceptable. Great food, but the service needs serious improvement. Sadly, that alone would keep me from returning. Disappointed coming from southshore for Christmas dinner.. owner of this restaurant, really needs to get with his staff!

New Orleans Style Seafood Restaurant & Market

So guess who found themselves in "New Orleans" during Super Bowl weekend? [yes, I'm writing this in…read moreNovember. Yes, this happened TEN MONTHS AGO. Let me live - Better late than never lol] And please notice the quotation marks around "New Orleans," because yeah, I was bamboozled. My company really had me thinking I'd be IN THE CITY eating real Cajun food, soaking up that seasoning, that spice, that Louisiana magic -- and then they drove us all the way across the river to ... Covington, Louisiana. Covington. Be serious. Anyway, once we arrived, before I even attempted a nap, my mission was crystal clear: secure Cajun food immediately. I found New Orleans Style Seafood Restaurant & Market on one of the delivery apps and decided to give them a try. Best choice. Pleasant surprise. I started with the Cajun Crawfish Bread -- that creamy crawfish mix toasted with cheese? Delicious. Like comfort food with a little attitude. Then I had the Bayou Redfish -- grilled, sitting on linguine, all covered in this creamy crawfish sauce? Chef's kiss. Everything blended perfectly. Cajun flavors doing exactly what they're supposed to do. And because I cannot see the word "beignet" and leave it alone, I ordered the beignet sticks for dessert. I'll be honest -- they were good when they were piping hot, but once they cooled down I wasn't as crazy about them. For a layover that had me on the wrong side of the river, this food absolutely came through Would definitely order from them again!

Every crawfish I peeled was breaking in pieces. Some weren't purged properly and still tasted like…read morethe water they were pulled from. They brought out a second batch to see if they would be better... they weren't. The sausage was cold. Service was good though. Angela was great!!

Tchefuncte’s - Beef carpaccio with oysters

Tchefuncte’s

(102 reviews)

We really enjoyed Tchefuncte's!…read more They have their own parking lot, so it made it very easy to get in and out. You just park, the go inside, and the restaurant is on the 2nd floor. The service was phenomenal! It was for an anniversary, and they made sure to tell us happy anniversary, and add it to a little sign that was left on our table. Now for the main part: the food. Fried Oysters and Pork Belly - very good, if you get this make sure you eat them together (that was our "best bite" for that serving). Wedge Salad - one of the best wedge salad's we have had. The blue cheese dressing was creamy (rather than chunky blue cheese). It had crispy shoestring onion strings that almost acted as the croutons. I loved every bite that included lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and bacon. Delmonico Steak - this was probably our overall favorite item. Just a great steak, and large enough for both of us to enjoy. Redfish - this was good, not great. Would probably try something else other than this if we went back. Tchefuncte Potatoes - they almost were like a twice baked potato (flavor wise), but they are super creamy and fluffy and then turned into a lightly fried ball. Good and very unique. Crème Brûlée - if you like crème brûlée then you will enjoy it here. A classic dessert that was delicious. And to top it all off, the ambiance was great. It is right on the water, and service was very attentive.
