The food was so good! It tasted fresh. You don't get that everywhere! Our waitress, Shelia was so so good to us! She talked to us and was polite. You don't get that everywhere. The restaurant was very southern and the vibe was great! But if southern is not your thing, it isn't too southern! So very good look. So, one final recap of the restaurant is that the food is delicious, the waitress was so nice, and the ambiance was just so nice. read more

Service always excellent. I would call this inexpensive. Wife and I had the excellent Chop steak with great onion rings and a baked potato, Whole bill was $31.00+ tip. I found the steak I had last time was good, bit smaller than I expected, but excellent. Their onion rings are to die for. All hand made. They come as an appetizer in a big bowl. 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. Place is older, been around forever, But clean. read more

Enjoyed many meals here years ago but the quality of the food has dropped considerably. Everything is just way too freaking greasy, even on a veggie plate. Last time I was here, about a year ago, I walked in with my sister (who was a regular) and several employees said hi or waved, but no one could be bothered to wait on us. Really?? Takes about 5 seconds to say someone will be with you shortly and take a drink order. I'm tired of places where "service" is a freaking joke, and that's what Stalveys has become. Subpar food & lazy, stupid servers--if this is what you're into you won't be disappointed at Stalvey's. read more

I did not like the taste of the fish. It had a fatty taste. Just my preference. Service was good and the restaurant was clean. read more

Such a sad visit. All food took a long time to arrive and all, including tiny scoop of mashed potatoes, was room temperature. Getting a little gravy or a some margarine for your cornbread is not even worth the effort. Flavors were good. To add insult, a noisy sizzling steak was delivered go a nearby table. Hot and smelling great! There is no "Lounge," at least not anymore and not in a long time. When I paid and was asked if everything was good I told the cashier lunch was cold. She could not possibly have cared less. read more

Basic describes Stalvey's. Basic food. Basic service. Basic atmosphere. Nothing really stood out. I doubt I'll ever return. read more

We drove 45 minutes to get here as the hubby has been here a few times and wanted me to try it. The country fried steak and chicken tenders were the main meal with a couple of different sides. Both dishes were very good. The shrimp and catfish from previous visits were also very good. The only thing that needs help is the service. Both times he has gone, and today, the ladies are not very friendly and you have to get their attention to come back to your table. We never got our bill so had to go up to the register to have it found. Will probably return for the food with fingers crossed at better service. read more

Good food atvgreat prices, especially in today's economy. Salad was fresh and tasty and had thinly sliced cucumbers in a sweet-vinegar marinade like my grandmother used to make. The fried cauliflower bites hit the spot, and the hot ham and cheese sandwich was a thing to see on a restaurant menu. The ham was an actual slice of a dinner ham, not lunch meat. The menu on weekdays includes a meat and two sides. On Friday and Saturday nights, the menu is more about steaks and fried seafood. read more

I'm only giving them 2 stars (instead of the one star it deserves) because our service from Stephanie was great! The food though left A LOT to be desired. I had the Meat and 2 sides. I chose country fried steak with mashed potatoes and cornbread dressing. It was a carb kinda night for me - what can I say! The country fried steak was inedible! It had the texture of canned dog food and tasted like I imagine dog food would too! The brown gravy over it and my mashed potatoes had no flavor at all. The cornbread dressing was good but not great. Our server, Stephanie brought me out a ham steak and although it was better than the country fried steak the only flavor it had was an aftertaste of chemicals. Stephanie took my dinner off the check which was nice of her because I did eat the sides. I won't be eating here again. read more

I've been living in Covington for 48 years never ate at this restaurant before . I decided to try it for the first time. 4/23 7:30PM ... I was put in the very back with my wife , we waited there for 15 minutes before someone come take our drink order. We were getting ready to walk out and go to Longhorn steakhouse , which I wish we did !!!!!!! I ordered a seafood platter and a Pepsi and fried oysters plate . I was forced to drink the Pepsi. My wife had to go hunt down the server couldn't find her so someone filled my Pepsi for me which was very flat. I didn't really wanna drink it l was just really thirsty. . The server was upfront rolling silverware laughing and taking about some the customers and wanted to go home . There was nobody in the restaurant. She left us in the back. The food come out and it was just a bunch of fried greasy food that looks like it's been sitting out. It looks nothing like the photos on their website. I will never come back to this place. The lady at the front ask me did I wanna leave a tip. Honestly, I didn't wanna leave anything because you're tipped based on your service. My wife has been waiting tables her whole life. This is very unacceptable. I left her a $5 dollar tip on a $40 meal which we didn't even eat. I will never come back to this restaurant ever again. Very disappointed if anybody reads this, I'm not a picky person, but there needs to be some changes so this doesn't happen . read more

Food is wonderful! Service is terrible. Took 15 mins to get onion rings and 30 mins for food. Quiet and relaxed environment. At least our waiter was nice. This was on a Friday night. They were not super busy. Catfish is good. read more

Fried fish, chicken tenders, and steak and chicken skillet are all fantastic. Does the carpet need replacing? Absolutely. Great prices and portions. read more

Filet Mignon: the two of us both got the 7 ounce fillet mignon for dinner. One of us had a glass of Cabernet and the other had a Yuengling beer. The food was tasty and generous. Service was friendly and efficient. This was on a busy Friday night around 7 PM. All went well. The ambience is out of a very casual family restaurant read more

We always enjoy eating here. Vegetables are always good! Would give a 5, but they don't have vegetables on Friday pm and during the weekend.

This is a popular restaurant for an older crowd... we thought since they looked busy they would be good. Sadly, I can't say that they are. I suspect it is busy from nostalgia and because it is cheap. The food is deep fried yet bland. I got the 7 ounce filet which was unlike any other "filet" meat I've ever gotten and much more had the texture of a low quality strip steak. My husband's sandwich was not very good either. The sides were pretty low quality as well. The service was very friendly and they were polite. There may be something good there since the smoker out front smells good; but we didn't order anything remotely good. read more

This restaurant needs a major decor makeover. It was very dingy and dated and weird. There was a big mirror on one wall with vanity lights hanging over it and too-bright light bulbs. The bathroom reminded me of one in an old gas station. Service was good. Food was actually pretty good too and inexpensive. If we lived closer we might get carry-out, but otherwise not eating here. They were busy, so I guess people don't care about the appearance of the restaurant, but we can't get past it. read more

La comida era muy mala, mal servicio. nunca volvera. Definitivamente dejó cero propina de dólares

The food was yummy and hot. The prices are unbeatable for the portion sizes. I'm already looking forward to returning!

So disappointed to see the waitress eating out of a big pan of salad with her fingers then you have a fat boy back there standing over top of the food holding a conversation don't think I will be going back there stop holding conversations over the fresh food and please do not let the customer see you eating out of something that is supposed to be serve for the customer read more

No menu, it's on the wall. Takes forever to get food. Food was lukewarm. My mistake to eat there, won't happen again.

The food and service are great. I especially like the grilled chicken salad and my wife usually orders and enjoys the fish and or shrimp. One day while dining we notices a lot of gray heads which caused me to ask if there were an minimum age requirement. read more

Good food, and that fish sandwich is always my #1 go to! And whoever is hostess up front always shows great customer service

The food is really good and flavorful. When I went the service was really good and the staff was very kind. The ambiance was entertaining because of the music and the staff would talk to you if u just wanted to chat! This is why I sugges this restaurant to all of you guys! read more

Absolutely horrible service. From greeter to waiter. Rude, unkind, RUDE! Food was okay the steak that was cooked correctly was decent. But wow the people and service was awful! read more

We ate there last night. Fried cauliflower came out raw. I ordered a skillet and it came out cold. I saw other skillet come out hot and smoking, but mine did not. I guess our food was forgotten. Both of my kid's meals were ice cold. Our waitress disappeared during our meal. Another waitress had to bring us our food and ticket. Highly disappointed. Would not recommend. read more

Local joint. Solid diner. Don't expect world class service or quality but still yummy.

The food is normally really good but the service is terrible. The staff is always extremely rude and dismissive when they answer the phones. They act as though people placing a to go order is a great inconvenience to them. And then they're almost always out of everything. Also, the lady at the front was extremely rude to the young waitresses. I think she's the same one who answers the phones. read more

Worst food, service, and decor at a restaurant that I have been to in a long time. I never write reviews but felt I had to protect the population from an establishment such as this. Save your time and money and go to the Waffle House. You will get a better meal. read more

Great place to eat. Steak, fish, and shrimp. BBQ ribs wow You have to try this place Love it read more

The service seems to get worse and never better. There is a blond who usually waits tables in the room to the right. She's rude and does as little as possible. I went to eat today and sat in the area of the restaurant where there are other servers. It's clear that service is NOT VALUED. My husband was brought the wrong order and it took 15 minutes to get the correct one brought to him. I was almost done. We were snapped at by a little girl who could have been the age of my granddaughter because she was never taught manners when I asked for a refill. I never received it. We were not given our bill and had to go to the cashier to get it. The food is acceptable but not outstanding. Go elsewhere. read more

Fantastic food. I read other reviews and expected poor service but our server was attentive and quick. We both had steak and they were fantastic. We will be back! read more

If I could do negative stars I would. Save your money and your stomach. McDonald's is a better option.

Yummy! I love Stalveys. Been coming here since I was a kid. They have the great food at affordable prices!

Ok, let me start off this review by saying, I have lived in Covington my entire life, and have had to suffer through multiple restaurants owned by Jim Stalvey. The ONLY thing that has kept Stalveys open is the "good Ol boys" who are loyal to their pal Jim, because it sure ain't the food!! Let's start with the atmosphere, which is flat out awful, old, and somewhat smelly. White boards let you know what the "specials" are, which I guess you are supposed to read before you sit down. Second, the service, which is lackadaisical at best. Servers are always "in a rush" and make you feel like you're putting them out by asking questions. Most of the servers have been working here (or one of his other restaurants) since I was a child, and are cranky and inept in their job. You pay at the front counter, where the old lady will ask "how was everything", but don't say not good....because she really doesn't care. Food quality. If the atmosphere and service hasn't pissed you off enough yet, the food quality sure will. Sure, the price was cheap, but have you ever heard the saying "you get what you pay for"?! Yeah, that applies here....everything tastes like its out of a can(because it probably is), and if you don't eat pork (which I do not), then you are SOL, because EVERYTHING is cooked in pork. As far as the meat, it's pretty low end quality, and is generally either tough or flat out nasty. There isn't one single thing on the menu that is eatable. But let's not stop there, don't order a glass of water, as it tastes like its straight from the toilet! Summary. When all of the "good Ol boys" of Covington either leave or die, this establishment will shut its doors, it's simply that bad. All of Stalveys other restaurants have closed due to poor service, food, and/or lack of business. This one hangs on because of nostalgia, not because of quality. From start to finish the visit is poor, and Stalveys is one or two good restaurants moving to town before they are done for good! read more
