    Johnny T.

    Mobile ordered a classic cheeseburger combo with large tots and received a burger just cheese and meat with medium tots.... didn't know it until I got home and called them to get a partial refund. The man who picked up said they weren't affiliated with the Sonic app... just really disappointed and said I would have to drive ALL THE WAY back to get a burger redone. Honestly would just like some money back.

    happy hour drink. save sonic money by not filling up the customer's drink. tacky. Every time I think I will give sonic a chance, something like this happens which remind me of why Sonic is not good anymore.

    Wish I could give it no stars but since I can't one will have to do. I placed a mobile order and proceeded to stall 13 I check in and I also press the buzzer waited 43 minutes before anyone came on to let us know that it's drive thru only. Proceed to get to drive through and at minute 53 I receive my order and it is nasty soggy melted and disgusting!! They take it back we have them remake it wait an additional 15 minutes and they give me another blast incorrectly made no cookie dough no whipped cream no carmel!! WTF are they doing in there? This is absolutely ridiculous! The last time I came they messed my order up so bad on Halloween I said I would never return. Well it's hot and I was craving ice cream and made the mistake of giving them another try but ended up disappointed AGAIN!! Just shut this piece of junk down it cannot be ran or managed correctly!!

    Rude. Very slow. Everything outside is covered in bird crap. I eventually left without food along with three or four other customers.

    Slow service despite ordering ahead through mobile and incredibly nasty bathrooms. They earned their Yelp rating... plan accordingly.

    Abysmal service. Get your act together. Three drinks shouldn't take 23 minutes to bring to the car.

    Got to appreciate the half price shakes but make sure you have plenty of time to wait on a bunch of incompetent people to make them.

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!

    Tonight we made our way to The Social Goat in Covington, Georgia. Before we even get to the food,…read morethis is the kind of restaurant that has a personality all its own. Goat-themed artwork is scattered throughout the restaurant, including some fun paintings that immediately caught our attention. The atmosphere feels more like a cozy tavern than a traditional taco restaurant, with dark wood, booths, and a comfortable setting that invites you to settle in and stay awhile. One interesting piece of local history is the building itself. We learned that in 1906, this building housed an antique market. Think about that for a moment. If someone was selling antiques here in 1906, some of those "antiques" might have been from the 1800s. More than a century later, the building is still serving visitors, although these days the focus is tacos rather than antiques. Covington itself is worth mentioning. The city has become known as Georgia's Hollywood of the South, with more than 100 movies and television productions filmed here over the years. Fans of The Vampire Diaries and Sweet Magnolias will recognize many locations around town. If you're visiting the area, there is plenty to see before or after dinner. Our server for the evening was Jordan, who provided friendly service throughout the meal. The menu features eleven different taco varieties, which immediately created a dilemma. Narrowing the choices down to just three was not easy. We ultimately chose the Fried Fish Taco, the Philly Taco, and the Sesame Ribeye Taco. The tacos are available as a trio, allowing you to sample three different varieties on one platter. The meal also came with chips, salsa, and queso, making it easy to share and compare flavors. Let's start with the Fried Fish Taco because it ended up being my favorite of the three. The fish itself had excellent flavor and was cooked just right. The taco was topped with a sauce that brought a unique flavor to the experience, and the crunchy slaw added texture that worked beautifully with the fish. Every component contributed something to the overall bite. This was the taco that surprised me the most and ultimately earned the top spot in my personal ranking. The Philly Taco finished a very close second. If you're a fan of Philly cheesesteaks, you'll immediately understand the appeal. Loaded with shaved ribeye, peppers, onions, and cheese, it delivered exactly the flavors I was hoping for. It was rich, satisfying, and packed with flavor. Sometimes simple combinations work for a reason, and this taco proved that point. The Sesame Ribeye Taco was the most unique of the three. The sesame-soy flavor was bold and immediately noticeable. I enjoyed the flavor profile and appreciated that it took the taco in a different direction than what I typically experience. Rather than trying to imitate a traditional taco, it offered something distinct and memorable. Anyone looking for a creative twist on a taco will likely find this one especially interesting. One thing I appreciated about the trio platter was the opportunity to compare very different flavor profiles side by side. The Fried Fish Taco offered a balance of fish, sauce, and crunch. The Philly Taco delivered familiar comfort-food flavors. The Sesame Ribeye Taco brought a bold and unique flavor profile to the table. Each taco had its own personality, which made the comparison part of the fun. The chips were crisp, the salsa was fresh, and the queso provided a nice complement to the tacos. Combined with the trio platter, it was more than enough food for a satisfying meal. The Social Goat manages to be more than just a taco stop. Between the historic building, the goat-themed decor, the welcoming tavern atmosphere, and a menu filled with creative options, it offers an experience that stands out from the typical restaurant visit. If we return, and there is a good chance we will, there are still eight taco varieties left for us to investigate. The Social Goat Tavern 1115 Church Street Covington, GA 30014

July 1st late night at 1:30am (technically July 2nd shift). It is goOooood. The board in the drive through was a little difficult to see and I wish it was angled a bit. If you are a passenger in the car, it makes it tricky to see. Just some feedback for marketing and operations. The gentleman that took our order and payment and brought it out to our car was professional, kind and we really appreciated his hospitality. The parking lot felt safe and everything was lit up. We were able to walk to the bin to throw away our take out. Chicken tenders were incredibly crispy and not too greasy. The pepper sauce and ranch were great - the size of the dipping containers were so great and also made the dining experience a better one. It elevates the experience. The onion rings were beer battered like - very crispy. The fries were good. Holy moly, the apple pie was absolutely delicious and HOT. It sweetened the deal and I will absolutely be back for this apple pie - I can only imagine how great it is with a fresh cup of coffee. Thank you to the staff. We look forward to returning and trying some of the items on the breakfast menu.

While visiting my sister in Georgia, I'm stumbled across this place ...I'm glad I finally did! I'm pleased to say it lived up to expectations. The burger was a nice size and flavorful, the fries were crisp and well-seasoned, and the shake was excellent. Even the chicken (which I ordered for my son), unexpectedly, were quite good. The service was pleasant, though on the slower side, which I actually took as a good sign that the food is made fresh to order. The place appeared clean and well-maintained, and the fact that it operates 24 hours a day is certainly a convenient perk. Overall, a great experience and I look forward to returning.
