The Cellar was a fun find in a small town. The beer was cold. The ambiance was cool and casual and the filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Our server was attentive but not pushy. I give two thumbs up! read more

We had reservations for 6:00 pm. We arrived about 10-15 minutes early. The restaurant was not busy at all. We ordered drinks and appetizers. We don't finish the drinks but the appetizers were good. We ordered our food, after waiting a little while we were told that our food would be 15-20 minutes longer due to a large party (35) people had arrived in their private dinning room. When our food finally arrived, we requested a couple knives to cut up the pork chop and chicken breast but we were told that they didn't have any knives because the large party had taken them. We informed our waitress that she would just have to find knives. She did come back with one and after us telling her again that we needed another knife she did find one. My food was ok but my husband was not eatable. He had ordered the potato with beef, bacon and cheese. The meat was so dried out that you could not get a fork in it. We took it home to feed our dog. We left without finishing our drinks or food. No one seemed to care. They were only interested in the large party. So sad. Unfortunately we will not be back and will not recommend. read more

Awesome food and service, very cool atmosphere, I'm not local, so not real sure when I will get back. Everything about this place is spot on. Menu is pretty diverse, pricing is moderate. I will definitely be coming back again. I cannot give 4.5 stars, better than a 4, but just not quite a 5. We loved it. read more

I've been to the Cellar a few times and steaks are delicious and cooked to perfection. The wait staff was very attentive and also helpful in recommending delicious sides cooked to your taste. read more

The Cellar Restaurant and Prohibition Bar - My satisfied smile. - Steakhouses Near Me - Covington, Tennessee

Arrived at 5:30 PM, sat at bar. Ordered the ribeye, sweet potato casserole & brussel sprouts. The steak and casserole were delivered lukewarm. This was my attempt to give this place another try. The last time I was there (several months ago) it took them almost an hour to serve a cheeseburger and fries. Will not be going back. read more

I like to his place. Drinks and food and really good.. i go here often and the food and service is always consistent

Recently we celebrated my husbands birthday and wanted to enjoy a nice dinner somewhere. This place did not disappoint! We both ordered a steak and it was cooked to perfection. No joke, one of the best steaks I've had. We also ordered the street corn appetizer and I couldn't get enough. Absolutely delicious. Our server was very attentive and if she didn't know the answer to our questions, she went out of her way to get the information we wanted. I gave it four out of five because we ordered drinks and the potato skins as well. My husband's Bloody Mary was very disappointing and the potato skins were very very dry and had zero flavor. The restaurant itself has a great vibe and we will definitely be back. (((I can't stop thinking about that amazing steak!!!!))) We also took home a slice of red velvet cheesecake. It was perfect. read more

Our server was very nice, but it took almost an hour to get our food. We were the only customers in the restaurant when we ordered. We both had the White Truffle Filet. It was overcooked and overpriced. The mashed potatoes were too garlicky. My husband said his carrots were the best he ever had. This will be our only visit. Hopefully your experience will be better. read more

Nice atmosphere and amazing staff. Steak was cooked to perfection. Giant pretzel for appetizer was amazing

Food here was amazing!! ****FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY****** First off, let's start with the drinks. %%%%%. BOURBON FLIGHT. %%%%% This was made up of four very generous pours of bourbon from Blue Note. Great unique flavor for two of them and gentle soothing taste for the other two. The aroma and color were great. The pours were about 2-2.5ox each. Huge!! $$$$$. STEAK. $$$$$ 16oz steak, wow! I've had a lot of steaks and never had a steak that was so delicious and of such quality at $39. In any other city, this would be a $90+ steak. So juicy, perfectly cooked, and the fat is so soft it melts in your mouth. @@@@@@ SIDES @@@@@ Mash potatoes were so garlicky - awesome! The asparagus, on point and simple. Mixed veggies were nicely grilled, all to satisfaction. """""""""""" APPETIZER """"""""""""" THE Boudin balls - like hush puppies, filled with meat. First time I've had something like that. Delicious! Meaty! +++++++AMBIANCE & SERVICE++++++++ The servers were so nice. Kind and friendly, at tentative but not distracting. The place has a cool speakeasy vibe, casual but classy. Something that is a bit different in the are. Check this place out!!!! read more

Very good service but I was a little disappointed with them not having what was advertised on their menu. It took me a bit to reselect what I wanted to eat. Our waitress was Amazing and the Mimosa Flight was so delicious. My hubby Club sandwich was great too and my French Toast was great! I really wanted the sliders but will be willing to return for them or a good steak. read more

Food was really good! Cool interior and theme. I got salmon, green beans, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, and carrots. I'd definitely come back. Given the limited options in the area, this is a perfect fine dining getaway. read more

Went here last Saturday night, sat at the bar as we did not have reservations. Waited for a while for the bartender to acknowledge us. Wife asked if she was ignoring us... almost walked out. She took our drink orders & then our meal orders. Wife ordered bone-in ribeye, I ordered Jim Bean marinated Strip Steak. Food arrived timely. I started eating mine & it was 'peppery'. I looked at it closely & it was covered in more ground black pepper than I've ever seen on a steak, almost like BBQ rub on ribs. My wife then noticed the same thing on her steak. It was almost like someone in the kitchen did this on purpose. Neither one of us could eat more than 1/3 of the steaks. I tasted no marinade on the strip steak, perhaps the ground pepper absorbed the Jim Bean. read more

We arrived at The Cellar at 4:15 because we had tickets for a show at The Ruffin at 6:00. We placed our order after few minutes. One tried to order chicken piccata, but it was not available, even though it was on the menu. They did not have baked potatoes either. Our appetizer arrived after a brief delay, but our food did not arrive until 5:20. One got a steak. While it was cooked well, the flavor was bland. "It was not a thirty dollar steak." The other food was OK, but none of it was worth an hour wait. The table next to us placed their order just before us, but they were finished with their meal before we received our food. We will not be going back any time soon. read more

Sat at the bar ordered drinks and appetizers. Bar tender was cold and unfriendly. She was too busy doing her makeup and on her phone. You would think when your the only people at the bar that you would at least get some conversation. Drinks were subpar. Ordered Boudin balls and Spanish dip. The dip was not fresh likely warmed up from a prior day and the balls were cooked in cold grease and came out dripping. We didn't even finish one. Not impressed and won't be back. Save your time and money and drive to Memphis. read more

Even though the temperature outside is freezing the Cellar was warm and welcoming. I got the sirloin steak and baked potato and they were excellent. read more

We arrived about 4:50pm and sat at the bar. First things we noticed were that nobody was at the hostess stand and none of the TVs were on. When asked about the TVs, it wasn't clear why they weren't on? It was early with maybe a dozen customers in the place. We had a drink and ordered boudin balls. It took a while to get them and when they arrived they were over-fried. Not their usual boudin balls. We then ordered 2 burgers w/ fries, one medium, one well done. We waited about 45'. When they arrived, one burger wasn't cooked enough. We sent it back and waited another 30'. We asked to speak to the new owner, who was seated at a table in the bar. He wasn't interested in our feedback and no apology. Waitress later reduced our bill. While appreciated, it didn't make up for our bad experience. We, and other family members, have dined here regularly in the past, but the experience and food has declined under the new ownership (other family members had told us of their previous bad experiences). We were there for dinner the weekend before Halloween and the steaks weren't prepared to order at that time either. Also, while she worked very hard, our waitress was only 14? Concerning the ambiance, it doesn't appear to be a prohibition-themed restaurant any longer judging by the t-shirts worn by the staff. read more

The food is great. Especially the salmon but the staff is what really makes the cellar worth the visit. I'm in town for work. I've been to the cellar Thursday,Friday and Saturday night. Thinking of going back tonight lol !! Love the atmosphere!! read more

Not our first time visiting The Cellar and we are never disappointed! The food, service, and atmosphere are all comparable to the upscale restaurants in Memphis. Thank you for another awesome experience. read more

I have been back a few more times and found I needed to update my review from 4 to 5. The first two trips were good but not great. After trying some of their other dishes I have been much more impressed. The service has also improved. Great job! read more

While visiting our son in Stanton at his job site, he recommended The Cellar. It surpassed our expectations. His steak was delicious. We had the mushroom ravioli pasta and fettuccine Alfredo pasta, both of which I also recommend. Atmosphere was perfect for a nice, relaxing evening out. read more

Gem of a restaurant in a small Tennessee town. Pretty cool atmosphere. Good variety of brands in the Bar, I tried the French 75 cocktail and it was lovely. Had to return my $37 16oz Bone In Ribeye - it was about 1/2" thick and was the size of a dinner plate, firm white fat unrendered, cut in the middle it was white (yes white!) wins worst seasoned steak ever tasted. I had the Mushroom Ravioli instead and enjoyed the flavor but not the cold, stale piece of garlic Texas toast. I think they can do better. Will definitely return. read more

Visited here two times. Both on a Friday night. We love the atmosphere and everyone has been so nice and inviting. The drinks have been on point both times that we've come here. The food needs a lot of work. I have owned my own restaurant so I know what it takes. The first time we visited, my partner and I both had the pork chops with garlic mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. The pork chops had no seasoning whatsoever. The garlic mashed potatoes were very dry. The brussel sprouts were delicious but could still use some seasoning. We also had the spinach dip as an appetizer. It was not good at all. Maybe trying another recipe would help. The band that was playing that night was great. The vibe was there and there were people dancing, it was a great time. We went again this past Friday night. Again the people and the service and the drinks were incredible. It's just the food. This time I had the burger and fries. Burger was burnt and dry around the sides and not even a lick of salt on it. My partner had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Again, not seasoned at all. Boudin balls would be great if it had, yeah you guessed it, SEASONING! I really want to love this place but the food has to get better especially since they are opening another location in another town. Revise the menu, hire a new cook, and this place will be packed on the weekends. I really like this place but the food HAS to get better. read more
