The happy biscuit was something I had to try, but it was a bit disappointing, the biscuit was only okay and too soggy but boy that peach juice was a nice extra splash. Catfish, grits, and greens got solid rounds of applause, though we thought the portions could have been a bit better. The peach coffee was delightful, the Jamaican rum coffee was unique but not my taste (though I loved that they brought us a free sample). Service was genuinely outstanding, and we loved the music and old school diner vibes. Would definitely return!

Instead of the traditional way of using pork they used chicken with a house made recipe that will keep you wanting more and more.

There is an epic wall mural that features different aspects of the city, including a huge Barack Obama head. As I said: epic. The bar is separated into two distinct parts, divided by a counter/tables in the center (you have to walk all the way around if you want to switch sides or move at the tables). On one side is the bar and a few TVs to watch the games, giving it a louder sports bar kind of vibe. On the other side there are a bunch of tables--almost like picnic tables. It feels very communal and laid-back. It's a place you can sip on drinks and easily spend time with a group of friends. The Cove is very group-friendly. My favorite part? My friend brings his dog there and it's no problem. Is this bar a dive? Yes. Do I care? No. Do I actually love it? Absolutely. Best bar on the area, hands down.

Nice and cozy inside with an open kitchen. The place was very clean and not too loud. They had some nice old school soul music playing in which I liked. Everyone talked about how stellar the service is but we didn't experience that. Our server Alex was a nice gentleman but he wasn't very attentive to us. He seemed to give the other tables a lot more attention than he gave us. 5/10 for service. I still tipped him 25% but he didn't deserve a 10% tip. The food made up for his lackluster service. We ordered The Short Ribs, Bone in Pork Chop, Collard Greens, Mac & Cheese, Cornbread w/Honey Butter & the Banana pudding for dessert. The short ribs came on top of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes with a very savory gravy. This dish was spot on, tender and everything was seasoned to perfection!! It comes with some fried onions on top which added a nice touch to the dish. 10/10!! The Bone in Pork Chop was decent. Very tender but the flavor was basic at best. My wife & I agreed that it was a mediocre dish. 5.3/10. Now the sides were absolutely delicious!! The collard greens were so flavorful. Some of the best collards I've ever eaten. Cooked perfectly! 10/10. The Mac & Cheese was also amazing! Baked and homemade with a nice crust of cheese on top! Easy 10/10. The cornbread was pretty good. It paired well with the greens. Slightly sweet but not too sweet. 7/10. The banana pudding is something that got rave reviews but it was just ok to us. Nothing special as I make a better banana pudding. 5/10. I wouldn't get it again. All in all it was a very good meal. We will definitely return. As we enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. Check them out if you haven't. You won't be disappointed. 8.5/10 overall. Remember ALL reviews are subjective
