    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.

    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.

    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.

    I was seated very quickly. The staff were very friendly and checked on me often. It was my first…read moretime so I asked my waitress for recommendations. She highly recommended the Blacken Shrimp and Grits. When my food came out, it was a large plate with plenty of shrimp. The food was amazing. I got my Southern/ Creole craving fulfilled. I'm definitely coming back! I wish they would open longer so I can grab late lunch or early dinner.

    Our visit to LUMORA was such a great experience. The restaurant is beautiful, very aesthetically…read morepleasing, and has a really nice atmosphere. We started with the chicken wings with honey barbecue sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly and had a good flavor. Next were the bacon wrapped shrimp and these were one of my favorite items of the night. The hot honey sauce was so good and the presentation made them even better. The cheese pull and sauce dripping down really sealed the deal for me. Easily a 10/10. The brussels sprouts completely surprised me because they were SO good. They were topped with pecans, cranberries, pepper jelly, and parmesan cheese, and all of the toppings worked so well together to elevate the flavor of the brussels sprouts. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I've been back just for those alone. 10/10. I also tried the Bayou Mac & Cheese which was creamy, flavorful, and cooked well. My only complaint is that it was topped with tomatoes, which wasn't listed on the menu, so I would've asked for it without them, but no big deal. We also had the Cajun Pasta which was good as well. Everything came out hot & Overall, the service was excellent, everything we had was really enjoyable, and the experience matched the aesthetic of the restaurant. I'd definitely return.

    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.
