4 shipmates and I are having a reunion with another shipmate who lives in this area of Louisiana. Larise and Bre were our cordial, attentive servers. We ordered egg rolls, gumbo, jambalaya, shrimp, catfish, , seafood lasagna, etc. Everything was good. I, personally, wouldn't order the jambalaya or stuffed shrimp again. Someone else might like them better. read more

8 of us had a reservation here with seating on the outdoor deck. THere is a large parking lot and we were seated on time. The waiter was really nice and took drink orders very timely. We had two small kids with us and they ordered chocalate milk. They came with it in 20 ounce cups or so. A different waiter accidentally spilled the entire cup on a 7 year old. Totally drenched her hair and dress. So bad that they had to take her home to change(fortunately only 5 min away) It was so much liquid it took 3 staff to clean it all up. The service and food was good. Unfortunately, the customer service/recovery was not done here. They did not even comp her milk or meal... Seriously- they had to go home and change it was so bad and you cant comp a kids meal. I think it was unfortunate that they did not even try to make up for it. The manager should have stepped in and tried to fix this. Defintely impacted the feeling toward the restaurant read more

This was my first Louisiana meal and it didn't disappoint. It seemed authentic to me. The bacon wrapped shrimp with jambalaya was solid! It was too cold to eat outside, but the deck is sweet. We will definitely go again next time we are in Covington. read more

Tried the Black Jack oysters, which were good. I also had the soup and salad with the crab and brie soup, and that was very tasty. The charbroiled catfish platter was good as well. The customer service was attentive throughout the visit. read more

Understood to be a Louisiana staple with the locals. Enjoyed dinner with family while visiting. I ordered the Stuffed shrimp platter w/ Caesar salad, hush puppies and red beans. Everything was really good and tasted fresh. Loved the Caesar salad! Fried foods were crispy, stuffing in shrimp was flavorful. I Would gladly reorder this meal. I also tried the Crawfish fries that were ordered at the table. Soooo good- with crawfish multiple ways! Look forward to returning. read more

We are from Texas but our friend from New Orleans took us here and we were not disappointed! Everything we had was great. The blackened salmon was cooked to perfection. The seafood lasagna was to die for. The etoufee was good as well. My husband loved his drink he had the sweet heat margarita (we think that's the name). When we visit again, this place will be on our radar. Oh and there is a cool little walking path after you're full to the gills. read more

Chimes is a cool place to hang out with or without kids. The staff is friendly and very much "on it." The bar area is a great section to watch the latest sports or just have drinks with friends. As for food, there is something for everyone. The crab and brie soup is my favorite, along with the crawfish mac and cheese. I've had many menu items and nothing has disappointed. read more

We dined at The Chimes in Covington in early October 2025 to catch the Saints game, and this spot did not disappoint. There are TVs all throughout the restaurant, making it an ideal place to watch the game. The crowd was electric -- full of Saints fans who erupted with cheers every time the team scored. The lively atmosphere alone made it a great experience. As for the food, everything we ordered was excellent: * Seafood Gumbo (Large) - $11.00 -- rich, flavorful, and loaded with seafood. * Macaroni & Cheese - $4.75 -- creamy, cheesy, and delicious. * Jambalaya (Side) - $4.75 -- good flavor overall; I'd rate it a solid 7/10. * Large Brunch Bloody Mary - $8.50 -- very tasty and a generous pour for the price, part of their brunch special. Our subtotal was $29.00, with tax of $2.68, for a total of $31.68 -- a very fair price for two people, especially given the quality and portions. Our server, Emma K., provided great service -- friendly, attentive, and on top of everything even with how busy it was during the game. All in all, The Chimes delivered an excellent food and game-day experience. We'll definitely be back -- next time to try a few more dishes and cheer on the Saints again! read more

Service was good. Food was also good. We sat outside on the patio and had. Nice view with overhead heaters. Now for the bad, we had smokers smoking cheap cigars. Really killed the vibe. On a nicer note they are dog friendly. read more

Everything is amazing other than their oysters. the oysters taste amazing but there's at least one piece of shell in every bite.

Ordered to go food with one of the items being a hamburger. They obviously made cheeseburgers and realized the mistake but instead of whipping up new burgers they tried to scrap off the melted cheese leaving cheese residue all over the patties. Really lazy! Besides that, the burgers were all way over cooked. They do have good fries if we're looking for a positive thing. read more

My favorite place to eat in Covington. Great menu choices. The food is so delicious. Love the outside porch.

McKenna made our family reunion lunch the best, we always do Chimes but we were nervous this year.As last year wasn't the best. but by god did McKenna change our attitude!! We look forward to next year, and will be requesting McKenna. It's a shame good service is hard to come by, but we found it!! Anyway consistent food, and great service. read more

Real big place with goats and a boardwalk in the back! The food was pretty good we got nachos and bar food and thoroughly enjoyed. Seafood was good too. It's about what you would expect.

Wonderful restaurant with excellent service to go along with the incredibly delicious food. Crawfish Mac and cheese was to die for. Decadently rich with great flavor and plenty of large crawfish. The seafood pasta was also very delicious with the sauce being not be too much or overpowering the pasta. Shrimp were plump and cooked perfectly. I'm dreaming of going back just for the Mac and cheese read more

Phenomenal restaurant! I ordered the grilled catfish with spinach and jambalaya. Wonderful meal. Great fried seafood as well.

One of my favorite places in Covington. You can also rent Kayaks and float the Bouge Falaya at their dock. Been a year since I did that. Guess they still have it. Food is great and atmosphere is awesome! read more

Always busy, packed house and the reason why is the food, atmosphere and service push to exceed expectations. If you looking for consistent great food with wonderful service this is a must stop! The Jalapeño burger is my favorite, the alligator with aioli is yummy and their oysters are on point! read more

My food was absolutely disgusting... My waiter was rude as ever. Loud and crowded, said the lights were on but was very dark. Would not come here again, gaged a few times.... read more

They seemed a little confused when I walked into ask about my application, but the food was Bussin. The drinks didn't give me a yeast infection and they put not one but two cherries in my Shirley Temple. read more

The food is fabulous and the atmosphere is wonderful. Outdoor seating is fun with great view of the river.

We went to The Chimes for dinner tonight.. it was to celebrate a big birthday! Decided we'd go and try the new menu! Welp. It was the worst experience! Our poor waiter was bogged down with tables and no help for the poor guy! We waited an hour to even get our appetizers and close to another before we ordered our food/got the food. Arrived at around 6:20 left around 9:00. All of this, while unfortunate, was honestly not that bad in the big scheme of things (hello first world problems) and we were willing to grin and bear it no harm done UNTIL one of the managers (Maddie) decided yell at my sister after a mix up in the bill. Instead of trying to calming figure out where THE RESTAURANT went wrong this manager decided to berate my sister and borderline threaten her to pay for food she didn't order instead of taking the time to fix the mistake. Let's get this completely straight. It was the restaurants fault for the mix up. But this manager decided that manners weren't a thing anymore and hostility was the answer. I'm beyond disappointed in what should have been a nice night out! BEWARE read more

This was the big platter. It was very good. Hush puppies are amazing. The red beans have so much sausage in them. Lots of space to dine in. Get the oysters!!!!! You won't regret it! And the alligator too! The service was a little spotty but understandable because the restaurant was packed. read more

When is informed my Daughter I was going to be working in Covington for a month, she told me I had to go to Chimes. The decor is a perfect blend of classic New Orleans charm and modern comfort. Dim lighting, rustic wooden furniture, and walls adorned with local artwork create a cozy setting that's perfect for both a casual meal and a special night out. The staff here truly embodies Southern hospitality. From. the knowledgeable servers who. are more happy to guide you through the menu to the quick and attentive service. The star of the show, of course was the seafood lasagna on my plate. The portion was enough to feed 3 people so I shared my food with my bestie the next day and it tasted better day before. I can't wait to try something different on my next visit. read more

By far the best customer service!!! Maddie took the time to make sure my wife and I had a good dinner. She went above and beyond and even went the extra mile for us. Chimes has earned a regular and will be seeing them every Tues night. As always food was amazing but Maddie deserves a raise and highly impressed by the serviced recieved. read more
