Ordering at the counter was friendly and efficient and service was quick. Drinks are self serve, with the normal assortment available. The menu is focused, with wings, planks, sandwiches, salads, etc. and a number of sides, including fries, gumbo, Mac and cheese, fried okra and others. We had an assortment of planks, salads, sides, and specialty sauces. All were good and the gumbo was especially so. Prices were competitive. Redbird Fried Chicken is a great place for lunch!

I've met who I believe are the mom, her husband, and their kids, and they're all so welcoming. The kids seem to help out a lot and they're very knowledgeable, polite, and professional which makes the experience even better. The food has been really good every time. I've tried their breakfast, pupusas, and empanadas, and I enjoyed all of it. One time the owner even gave me a concha to try without me asking, which I thought was such a kind gesture. The prices are very reasonable and the whole café has a warm, friendly vibe that makes you want to stay and come back again. Overall, it's a hidden gem in Mandeville with great food, fair prices, and a wonderful family atmosphere. I'm definitely planning on trying more of the menu soon

Large enough portion that I took half home. One friend had the fried chicken and raved about it. (Order early because it takes time.) Another had fried cheese ravioli Several had the Mac and cheese and everybody raved about their dishes. Took home some seafood-stuffed cornbread for my husband. The atmosphere adds to the experience. It's right in the heart of Historic Downtown Covington at the trailhead with huge windows and natural light. Really lovely!

Great service and large portions! I ordered the Abita Star which was enough food for two people. The peppers, onions and mushrooms on top were perfectly sauteed, the egg was just as ordered (over medium) and the ham was salty goodness. My wife had biscuits and gravy w/ an egg on the side - the gravy was a bit lacking in flavor, but it was a solid plate nonetheless. She also had an iced coffee with flavoring that was delicious. I just had plain iced coffee with cream and it was only so so. The biscuit was my favorite part and was great with some jam. I'd recommend breakfast here for anyone passing through.

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.
