I've eaten at Sweet Daddy's BBQ and Catering a few times now and every visit has been amazing. The smoked brisket is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The jambalaya has just the right kick, the macaroni is rich and creamy, and the baked beans have that perfect smoky sweetness. Honestly, I could go on and on about the food because everything I've tried has been consistently delicious and made with care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The portions are generous, the service is always friendly and welcoming, and the overall experience keeps me coming back. Every penny is absolutely worth it. If you want real, flavorful BBQ and good Southern cooking, this is definitely the spot. read more

Wonderful bbq place. We ordered the tailgator. You get a pound of pulled pork, a pound of chopped brisket, a whole chicken and a half slab of ribs. Plus, you get 3 medium sides and sauce. The meat was fantastic. We got the Mac and cheese, fritters and beans. Everything was outstanding. I will definitely be back. read more

Today I had to go to my follow up from my full knee replacement so afterwards my wife & I decided to go here. Sweet Daddy's use to be down in Mandeville many, many years ago but they decided to close down the second location. My wife got the chopped brisket sandwich and she truly enjoyed it and she said it was delicious. I had the boneless rib sandwich with corn nuggets and green beans.. Again everything was truly great, with amazing smoke flavor but not too much! It was so good we decided to get The Kick Off Deal for my daughter & her family because she had a Cochlear Implant done today. She and my son-in-law both have called to tell me how good it was since then. We even brought a pound of chopped brisket & a full rack of ribs home for our house. Y'all need to come back to Mandeville!! read more

Amazing Texas style bbq with a great but not cloying smoky flavor. Truly a gem. The rib sandwich is AMAZING!

My hubby loves your brisket, he goes there all the time. The brisket is cooked with a great smoke flavor. Great job on the smoking.

Our first time at Sweet Daddy's but certainly NOT the last. My wife had the ribs & I had the rib sandwich. WOW! THE best ribs & sandwich, EVER! The one & only negative thing about our visit - we live on the south shore. However, the next time we are in the mood for bbq, we will gladly make the drive. Well worth it. We HIGHLY recommend Sweet Daddy's BBQ in Covington. We will see you again soon. Duke Morrow read more

Being from Texas, I am very judgmental of bbq esp ribs and brisket. Let's start with our basics, parking is in front, side and back of the restaurant. If it gets crowded...I guess parking next door won't be too bad. The restaurant is super cute. Lots of earthy tons with tons of bbq decors as it should be. I was super excited to see more local bbq joints around! My hubby and I walked up to the counter and greeted by friendly guys who then handed us a menu. We studied it and decided on the three meat combo with two sides. Price is not too expensive but not easy on the wallet. We chose: 1/4 Chicken, ribs and Brisket (fatty pieces) with Mac and Cheese and Potato salad. We also ordered sweet ice tea and bottled Root beer. I noticed they had their soda machine behind the counter but teas are in front where customers could reach. Let's review the entree. Delicious bbq chicken. Fall of the bone type of bbq smoked chicken. Good flavor. Brisket was good too! Not as smoky as I would have liked but better than most places I have eaten. The brisket was tender...it definitely needs sauce to be more flavorful. Without sauce...it's not too flavorful. Ribs were not great. It was tough to eat and not fall off the bone. There wasn't much of a smoke ring that I look for when eating ribs. It was flavorless without the sauce. I like some pull on ribs but this was just not edible for me. Good sides...Mac and cheese was good. It was cheesy and not overly salty. Potato salad is mayo based more than mustard base. Overall, I would come back for the chicken and brisket but will forgo the ribs. Great customer service tho! Nice guys in the front of the house. Helpful! read more

The food was decent, but the service was absolutely lackluster. It was late on a Saturday afternoon. Maybe the guys were tired but they didn't seem to care whether we were there or not. read more

Got them yummy ribs, pulled pork, homemade sausage, and sliced brisket. Also got them fried okra and mac n cheese. I loved the ribs!! I'll go back read more

Excellent, consistent, old school BBQ joint. Can't go wrong with the brisket, or the chicken. I love their baked beans, they have as much meat in them as beans it seems, good and hearty. You can also get jambalaya as a side which is pretty good too. read more

We came to Sweet Daddy's with no expectation. My sliced brisket sandwich had a good bark and delicious flavor. Some may call it "fatty," but it was delicious. The Philly pork sandwich was also good with the caramelized onions and peppers. The corn fritter side is a must. read more

Great brisket. They even complied to my request for the fatty point meat. The green beans were smokey good!

I absolutely love eating Sweet Daddy's! Great family run business! The Brisket with the hot bbq sauce is to die for.. The corn fritters are my favorite side. Good music is usually playing & the service is friendly and helpful. No wonder Sweet Daddy's is so popular! read more

Sweet Daddy's may be the best BBQ on the Northshore. I only wish they kept the Mandeville location open because the Covington one is a little too far for me to become a regular. It was almost a week after Hurricane Isaac and I was craving some good BBQ. I had all but forgotten about Sweet daddy's ever since it closed in Mandeville a few years ago. Upon discovering that Abita BBQ was closed due to storm damage, I set out to find another BBQ restaurant. Upon remembering the Covington location was still open, I sped north to place my order. Inside I was greeted by very friendly staff. I was unsure of the best way to order a large quantity without breaking the bank, but they steered me in the right direction. They had several combos, but in my case, ordering individual items worked out better. My order was ready very quickly so I grabbed it and headed home. My order consisted of brisket, pulled pork, mac n cheese, potato salad, corn nuggets and baked beans. The sliced brisket was slightly smokey and perfect for sandwiches. It came without sauce which is how I prefer my brisket. I can then add the amount of sauce I feel necessary. The pulled pork came pre-mixed with sauce and was good, but I preferred the brisket. I think it would have been better if it too came without sauce, but it was still one of the better versions I have had on the Northshore. The sides were all good, but the corn nuggets are always a treat. There is something special about fried creamed corn and I have been unable to find it anywhere but Sweet Daddy's. If you're on the Northshore and want good BBQ, give Sweet Daddy's a try. read more

This was by far the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. 2 times in a row. We ordered our food, which was a variety of the 2-meat platters. Upon arrival, they inform us there is no beef brisket. They were also "out" of half the sides on the menu, one employee was undoubtedly high. This is the second time I've ordered from this place and they conveniently didn't have whatever it was we were asking for. Please send a health inspector this place should be shut down. read more

Best BBQ on the Northshore. My coworkers and I frequent once a week The sliced brisket plate will fill up anybody read more

We stopped by here to get a meal for my cousin and his wife when they arrived home from the hospital. It was recommended by my Aunt. The price was great. We ordered a pound of pulled pork, jambalaya and Mac-n-cheese. My cousins loves it and there was even enough for leftover the following day! read more

Bar B Que that never disappoints! Love it - the pecan pie is always a crowd pleaser too

Best BBQ hands down. Everything is so tender and flavorful! The veggies and good and seasoned just right. The sauce is amazing! Everything is good there so you can't go wrong with what you order. Just depends if you're a pork or beef person, or both! read more

Absolutely delicious bbq!!! I had the chopped brisket sandwich with Mac n cheese and corn nuggets. Hubby had pulled pork and brisket tacos. Services was super friendly definitely a must try! read more

Been here a few times and tried out the ribs with bbq beans and mac n cheese this visit. The rib rub was excellent and very delicious and needed little to no BBQ sauce which is what I enjoy about my smoked meats and BBQ. The beans were good and had a few chunks of pulled pork in them. Mac n cheese is made with a penne style noodle and was creamy and had good flavor as well. Best meal I've had here so far. The pulled pork is pretty good here but the brisket has been hit or miss. The brisket was very dry a couple of times and lacked salt but they get it right for the most part. The green beans are pretty decent here for a side order also. read more

I believe this is the best bbq you will find on the north shore. Love their menu. Price is a little hearty for some items.

Hands down the best BBQ on the both shore. My absolute favorite place to go. We even had it catered before for a work even and it was the talk of the meeting. This past time I was I was in there another guy told me to try the rib sandwich and I trusted his suggestion and it was game changing. Totally recommend this place to everyone! read more

Great smoke and barbecue place. The sauce is amazing as is the brisket or chicken and the beans and Cole slaw are both excellent as well.

Fantastic. I got a 2 meat combo and was halfway through the brisket and pulled pork before I realized I hadn't tried the BBQ sauce- It was that good. Brisket was smokey and savory and fell apart when lifted with a fork. Pork was just as good. Green beans had plenty of pork fat and the right amount of pepper. Mac and cheese was great. I highly recommend. read more

A little hole in the wall but they are killing it. For years I had never given this place a chance until went to an event that was catered by them. Now when I'm in the area have to stop by. Delicious, fast, affordable and always leaving with leftovers. Also nice low key atmosphere. read more
