    Very good food. I had the sweet tea fried chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy. We also tried the pimento cheese appetizer, which was quite good. We chose to have it served warm with the crackers. It is some serious comfort food served basically on a movie set. I never watched Vampire Diaries, but I know what a big deal it is for people who visit here. It is always busy and there is always a wait (at least on the weekends). We tried to go twice, and finally the third time we tried was a charm. It was only about 40 minutes towards the end of the night. Service is friendly and decor is lovely. Food was very good.

    What a cute place! It's a great stop! Prices were great too! The server was fantastic. Her name was Hailey, she was able to answer all our questions and was super friendly too! Lastly, the food. It was very good. We had 2 of the salads which were great portion sizes and our friend had a burger and was very pleased w it. When we are in the area we would be happy to stop by again, between the food, the service, and the location it was a great place for lunch.

    Every time I come to Covington, I plan to stop here but my plans end up changing. Luckily, I finally got to stop in and try their dinner menu. It was busy but we were seated right away and our server, Rico, was great, very upbeat and attentive. He shared fun facts about the filming of movies and shows in and around Covington and we got some Vampire Diaries information and facts, which as a fan of the show and spinoffs, I loved. I had the Blackened Shrimp Pasta and my husband had the Apple Cider Salmon. Both were AMAZING!

    Of course being a vampire diaries lover I had to come here !!!! We came after our tour and everything was delish !!! Service and food was 5/5 . The fun vampires shots were fun and of course I had to buy the souvenir glass ! I wish the rooftop was opened but it's only opens on weekends . I can't wait to be back in the future .

    10/10 would recommend! Whether you are a Vampire Diaries fan or not, this place is great. The online waitlist was convenient and accurate. We were able to shop in the square while we waited. Everything we ate and drank was amazing and the Vampire Diaries themed menu was a fun touch. The restaurant was crowded, but not too loud and there were a lot of fun nods to the Vampire Diaries. The service was great and the food came out fast! Would go again.

    Shrimp and grits with bacon Very flavorful shrimp cooked perfectly The building very historical dated 1806 Very nice and relaxing. The staff where Very attentive and accommodating. If I'm back in the area I will come for a visit.

    Food was decent but there's not a lot of variety on the menu. Cool spot if you're a Vampire Diaries fan, but aside from that, it's more about the experience than the food

    Service was fantastic. Food and drinks came out fast too, even though it was busy! I'd recommend the salmon and also the Winder fries from what we ordered. It was decorated for Christmas which was a fun touch. The building is really cool inside with unique architecture.

    202504251319 Very nice, mystic, rustic restaurant on a corner in downtown square of Covington. The restaurant is famous for Vampire Diaries. Upstairs is a mini museum of actors who've autographed Mystic Grill paraphernalia. There's outside seating viewing the square, inside seating dining on the main level & smaller seating upstairs. Gift shop in 'Alley' below. Inside, pockets of paint & plaster are pealing away from the brick. Quick seating, average wait for meals of four. Expect to pay more than $10/plate for lunch. Good, delicious, savory, healthy portions of food. Mature, friendly service. Server a little slow or busy on follow up. Overall, great experience.

    Must-see location when visiting Covington. There are tons of signatures and pictures of celebrities who have also visited. The staff here is super kind and friendly to tourists. It was even cooler going down to the gift shop beneath the restaurant. The food was mostly normal bar food with some exceptions. You absolutely need to try the Chicken & Waffle Sliders. Maybe get a few souvenir shot glasses while you're at it. They make a pretty good cocktail!

    Cute place and fun to take photos outside if you're a Vampire Diaries fan! I got the blueberry lemonade pancake shot that was inspired by the prison world pancakes Damon makes in the show & got to keep the shot glass! The food was good, I recommend the chicken sliders - the chicken was amazing & it had a delicious cream cheese on the slider that made it top tier! My friend got the chicken Mac n cheese which I did sample, I preferred my meal but she did like hers. Our server was super kind and knowledgeable about the area - recommended us to stop in the welcome center to see all the props and memorabilia they have from all the shows and movies shot in Covington! Definitely go take a look there! Before you leave Mystic Grill make sure you take a look at the top floor where they have walls of signatures and photos from famous ppl & vampire diaries cast that have been there!

    Enjoyed a recent dinner to Mystic Grill after doing our vampire diaries tour. We sat upstairs in a room that was surrounded by old doors being used as walls. It was a little different atmosphere than downstairs, but was a little more quieter. The food was filling, we probably could have split one meal between two people. But, had enough to bring back for lunch for another day.

    It's a tourist trap. Food is mid and can't keep up with volume due to everyone visiting.

    Our final meal in Covington!…read more Had to come for the Damon pancakes and so worth it! So tasty and fluffy. Cheese bites were also great. Mimosa was nice and refreshing, I would love to come back to try more of their signature drinks and adult juice boxes. Service was also quick and friendly. A must stop on your trip to Covington!

    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!
