All of the waitstaff had a great attitude. Our food was the star however. The pork chop sandwich, fried bone in chicken breast and the country fried steak was soooo good. I wish the gravy had a little more seasoning but it was nothing that some black pepper couldn't repair. The price was very respectable. Don't forget to try the candied yams! We left full and satisfied. The location is right in the center of town and there were many cute shops to check out after eating. It's worth a trip. Fried green tomatoes are crispy and delicious

I happen to hear about this ale house and since it was close to home, we gave it a shot and boy we are happy we did. My husband ordered the steak and frites, medium well and it was flavorful. You could cut it with a spoon it was perfectly cooked. I ordered the smashed burger with fries and it was delicious as well. Service was top notch from greeting of the host to the bartenders who served us. Our bartender made me THE best espresso martini I ever had. We will definitely return and SOON!

Of course, the food was not hot but it was warm. I don't understand the grits with the main course. It should have been dirty rice or if you are doing grits, pair it with shrimp or fish. I truly think price played a factor. This is my second event with them and I plan to do more.

We also tried the mystic falls matcha, chai latte, spinach feta danish and sausage egg cheese croissant sandwich. They have plenty of seating, tons of options for food/ drinks/ pastries, and sell blood bags, other TVD products (coffee, shirts). Staff were all friendly and orders all served quickly.

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!!

This is a very spacious tavern-type restaurant in Covington Square. The place is really big with…read moreplenty of seating, and all of the staff from the hostess to the waitress were all really sweet and helpful. I started with the goat cheese pesto bruschetta for appetizers. The flavors paired well together and it was a decent size. For lunch, my friend and I shared the taco platter, which comes with 9 tacos, chips, salsa, and queso for $35. It's a great price and it was more food than we could finish. The fried shrimp tacos were the best. Shoutout to our waitress for that suggestion! They were crispy, large shrimp pieces, and flavored nicely. We also got the fried fish tacos and the ribeye tacos which were very underwhelming. Unfortunately, the entire taco platter was extremely salty. Even though we drank water throughout, we both left feeling super parched due to how salty it was. This place has potential but I'm not sure I would come back. It might be a good spot to grab a drink and hang out, but I wouldn't come here to eat. Honestly the amazing service is really what stood out and was the saving grace!

It's versatile and appropriate for a date night or a business dinner. I went on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't too packed. I initially sat at the bar where I had the gin pear cocktail.

Then I sat at the restaurant area where I ordered the catfish with broccolini and sweet potato pure, two of the guests ordered the salmon and loved it and one of the guests ordered the daily special which was the meatloaf and it looked delicious (a bit on the heavier side side) for after dinner drink I had an espresso martini and it did not disappoint.

We still had some room for dessert so tried the chocolate molten lava cakes, mine not so lava like but still tasty!

The windows are tinted and the open sign wasn't on, but as I got closer, I could see people inside, so I went for it. You order at the counter, and they call your name when it's ready. They also have some merch for sale, which adds to the vibe. I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk and the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant. Both hit the spot. Simple, fresh, and exactly what I wanted. The place itself is really cute, and the bathrooms are unisex and very clean (which I always notice). Staff was friendly and everything felt easy. It's also only about a 3-5-minute walk to the main square, but just far enough away that it feels a little calmer and not packed with tourists like some of the other coffee spots. Definitely a great place to stop if you want something a little more low-key.

They also had a really beautiful outdoor area behind the shop with hammocks. Unfortunately, it was too cold to utilize it that day, but nice to know it's there!
