My dad stopped by today and picked up some takeout food, and I could not help myself. This food was…read moredelicious and felt healthy (not salty). I had the steamed red snapper, fried okra, and some red potatoes. We even argued over sharing the plate. The red snapper was large and well priced. The Jamaican lady working in the establishment provided excellent service. My father mentioned how professional and friendly she was, and she prepared the food. She did an amazing job seasoning everything. The restaurant may have changed ownership or recently completed renovations because it looks different from the pictures in other reviews.

Beautiful, functional dining hall. Plenty of selections. But selections of what??…read more Absolutely uninspired food, with barely cooked vegetables totally devoid of seasoning figuring prominently. There's no butter here, no bread, in fact, you'd be hard-pressed to find a carb other than a hamburger bun or sandwich bread, or ghastly pre-cooked pasta. I made the best of the sad situation and assembled a salad of really nice greens including spinach. Chicken and rice was nothing like you'd hope for: dry brown rice, barely-there chicken, no sauce at all, no seasoning. Just rice and chicken. Pizza buffet, sandwich station. Bon appetite: epic fail!

Our waitress was lovely, I had heard about the souvenir glasses you could buy so I got a shot glass with the Damon pancake shot and the vampire Barbie drink. They had a few options for the big souvenir glass - I chose the "it's okay to love them both, I did" Katherine glass. For the meal we tried the fried chicken sandwich and the sweet tea fried chicken. Everything was so good, my favorite meal in Covington! I wish we had room for dessert because everything sounded good. We checked out upstairs and saw the hallway with all the signed menus- so cool!! Also be sure to keep your receipt to get 10% off of purchases down stairs at the alley gift shop.

We sat on the roof which was nice and quiet. The service was quick and the waitress was super nice. The first time the food came out it was cold, but she was super quick to get it warm for us. We got the blackened shrimp Alfredo and it was pretty flavorful, I would totally get again! The fries were also delicious. We did get two drinks and they were just alright. Would not recommend their cocktails. Overall Mystic Grill holds a special place in our hearts and we love visiting during the holidays!

I've been driving past this place for a little bit and I decided to finally give it a try because I…read morewas craving some fried fish. I called ahead and asked if they had drive-through. They said they didn't but I can place an order over the phone in which the representative helped me since it was my first time ordering with them. I end up getting the fish and chicken combo platter. I got a fried catfish and chicken tenders and it also comes with fries and white bread. The chicken tenders was three juicy seasoned pieces and the catfish was really good. I drizzled some hot sauce over the catfish and ketchup for my fries and honey mustard for my chicken tenders before I left. They showed me my platter and they asked if I wanted seasoning and I said yes and I would definitely recommend adding seasoning on top of the food because it gets it so much flavor. I also ordered the red velvet cake which I'm not gonna lie. It was not good at all it tasted grainy and it was just not what I was expecting. I was expecting like a moist cake and it was not giving that was very disappointing. The place seems new if I'm not mistaken there were really nobody sitting down eating. Everybody was just waiting to take their meal to go which was a good sign, but I will definitely check them out again for their other fried fish and also they have fried oysters which I've never never had fried oysters before so I'll go back to check them out for that but definitely won't be getting no more cake from there.

Came here for dinner for our second night in Covington. Not too busy for a Friday night, we were…read moreable to walk in and quickly be sat. For drinks we ordered the cloud atlas (off menu) and a vodka gimlet, gimlet was good but a little off balance. Complimentary corn bread was pretty tiny and a bit dry. For entree we ordered the crab cakes and shrimp and grits, both very tasty and the stars of the night. Highly recommend. We still had some room for dessert so tried the chocolate molten lava cakes, mine not so lava like but still tasty!

It looked like they have live music and other potential activities going on. We tried the jerk chicken and the ox tails and both were pretty good. Both proteins had decent flavor but the rice could use a little more and the mac and cheese was a little dry but had good flavor. The oxtail gravy on it is good though. I was disappointed to see they did not have any spicy beef patties, they must have sold out before we arrived. It was early Friday night so I would think they would still have some but no. All of our food was temperature hot when it came out and give yourself about 15mins or call ahead. The owner was nice and inviting as he took our order and helped us with suggestions. The story we got was his mother is the cook and she is straight from Jamaica. Being this place is in the city of Covington it was surprisingly good and we will be back to try other meals. Dinner plates were about $15 each.

I have to try the szilling platter. Waitress walked past my table with one, smelled great. Lots of room. I came with my 5 grandchildren, wife, daughter and son inlaw, had plenty of room.
