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

Everything was absolutely amazing. We've opted for outdoor seating and couldn't be more pleased. Although it rained a little, we were covered under the pavilion and no rain affected us. We ordered their fried pickles and devoured them. For our entrees, we both ordered the boatload platter and it did not disappoint. Food came out fast and fresh and service with Devon was exceptional. There's a canoe rental service adjacent to the restaurant and we were able to see canoees (is that even a word....how bout caneoers perhaps??) ahhh, canoeists, yes! Lol. Yeah, so folks who enjoy canoeing can rent a canoe and paddle down the swampy river. Not my thang but hey, whatever floats your canoe lol. 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

Fabulous food and setting! What a great place! The setting is beautiful overlooking a wooded park and river. Food was terrific and our dogs were welcomed without hesitation! read more

A knock-off Cajun version of Texas Roadhouse. A lot of people love this place but I'm not exactly sure why. The food is quite mediocre and the wait time is just not worth it. Perhaps the ambiance or location near the water draws people in, but there are other Northshore restaurants far more deserving of your time. read more

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

this place is beyond horrible. I've gotten food poisoning multiple times, and they don't treat their employees well at all, and to top it all off they gave me an undercooked chicken The last time I ordered here. 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

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

Good was good but definitely get there before the church crowd on Sundays. Drinks are solid, I recommend the margaritas they use fresh fruits to make them. The onion rings are killer as is the blackened alligator. The Jalapeño burger is excellent. The service was good but our servers mind was definitely else where (if you catch my drift) and kept forgetting things 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

This. Place. I'd there's a lot air here, it's worth the wait. We had a 45 minute wait, so we walked around and in the back of the restaurant. There is an outlook deck of the Bogue. Galaga and you can see people kayaking and even goats! The bar area is amazing. They have tons of TV's and lots of seating. Now for the beta part - the FOOD! We've heard a lot about the spinach artichoke dip and had to try it. The chips are fried bow tie pasta! It was unbelievable! The crawfish stew was absolutely delicious. I also tried the gumbo and a boudin balls. You simply can't go wrong with what you order here. The service was great and I could've be happier with our waitress. Our frisks brought a dog so we could sit outside and she even brought us a water bowl for the puppy. Super sweet! I can't wait to come back! 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

Very top tier establishment. Whatever beer you can think of, they got it. Whatever food you can think of, they got it. Everything is delish and perfect for family and friends. I personally recommend the roast beef or bbq shrimp poboy and a cold abita strawberry beer on tap. I will keep returning bi-weekly / monthly. read more

Great atmosphere! Waitress was very accommodating and the food was great. Would definitely go back!

Extremely loud, hard to have a conversation. Food is average. Service was good. I think if you can sit outdoors it may be more pleasant.

The service at this restaurant is horrid. The hostesses and the waiters are like high school kids. It's a joke if it comes to hospitality and service. If you expect quality don't eat here!!!! Thank for for the manager on staff tonight. Whoever answered the phone m, should be immediately fired. So disappointed and so misrepresenting the brand. Thumbs down! read more

Seated quickly. Nice large seating areas inside and outside. Good beer selection on tap. Service was excellent and food was good too. Very convenient stop after a visit to the nearby Abita Brewery bride returning to New Orleans. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at the Chimes and had excellent service. Everything was good, but the Crab and Brie soup was definitely the highlight! The seafood lasagna was also REALLY devine. We are not local, but we will make sure to visit the Chimes again when we are in Covington. read more

I had a great dinner here last night! My wait time was accurate. I think the 45 minute wait for dinner at a busy restaurant on a Friday afternoon was reasonable! We ordered drinks at the bar while waiting for our table. The drinks were so good that they made me leave my to-go box on the table I highly recommend the Mozzarella logs and crawfish fries!!! For drinks, the Perfect Pineapple martini was great. The food and drinks are absolutely delicious!! Will be back :) read more

My husband/I were visiting the Covington, Louisiana area from June 27, 2025 thru July 11, 2025. Our first visit to the Chimes Restaurant & Taproom was on Saturday, July 5, 2025, then a second visit on Thursday, July 10, 2025, one-day before driving (home) back to California. I want to express my appreciation for the excellent service which my husband/I received while seating and dining at the bar on both days. The employee, Jorge, impressed me with his professionalism and caring style. Jorge greeted us with a friendly smile and every one of our needs was catered with the utmost perfection, making us feel special and so important. As a retired supervisor for a government organization for over 37 years, I truly know and understand the importance of providing great customer service to customers. I could sense that Jorge genuinely enjoys his job and his number one priority is providing 100% satisfaction to all customers. Jorge was amazing and he is truly an outstanding representative for the Chimes Restaurant & Taproom company. Your employee, Jorge, fully epitomizes what 5-star service is about. Efficiency accompanied by courtesy is a rare combination in today's work world. From: Pat/Terry - Hermosa Beach, California 90254 read more

We went to The Chimes last week. The food was really good. I had the fried catfish it was seasoned well & delicious. The other members of my party had the salmon & they really enjoyed it. The restaurant is spacious and have outdoor seating. Casual atmosphere. The service was very good. read more

We're 4 old farts traveling cross country in a van. We stopped in The Chimes based on TripAdvisor and Yelp reviews. I guess we were expecting more. The food was fine. We love a good salad and don't eat much after that so we usually have to split meals. The salad that came with our meal was tiny. We want Basalmic dressing because it is a insulin stabilizer. They dont serve it. The meal comes with only one side which we ordered the red beans and rice. Nice chunks of sausage in the side. Chicken was tender and seasoned well. Roll was blah no one took more than one bite. Service could have been better for refills on our drinks. They were not crowded. read more

Went last Sunday for lunch with my brother in law. Seated quickly and had a great waitress. Table location was great and food was perfect as were the beers. Really only issue was we had 5 tables around us with young Children. Hard to hear conversations with the youngsters running around. Like herding cats. Parents did their best. Not really upset but will do it during a less busy time read more

Good food, good service, noisy ! Had coffee to drink with my dinner, I was surprised when I got my bill and I was charged for a refill ! Why ? If I drank tea I would get free refills but not coffee? So I had 2 refills of which the cup was only half full for both. So by charging me for the refills you only hurt your server as I reduced my tip by 4 dollars to cover the ridiculous refill charge. read more

Had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant while in town for my fitness pre bday dinner. I must first rave about the strawberry lemon drip martini from happy hour, absolutely delicious! Our server Gavin was very attentive to our needs and chatty. We loved his vibe. Our crabcakes were bland but the seafood pasta made up for it. The spinach dip was good but didn't like the hard bow tie pasta like copelands. Overall we would return but the food tastes nothing more nola read more

My husband, 3 (now 4) year old, and newborn daughter went here. We loved it! Our oldest loved the goat that was running around behind us. The food was great, except for my salad-it was swimming in ranch. I love ranch, but this was enough too much for me. If we're ever back in Covington, we'll be back! read more

Food was decent-very few standouts, but the view was beautiful, and the staff was top notch (handled our large group like a pro). HUGE issue needs to be addressed...the view was decimated by cigarette smoke the entire time-with a continuous stream of smokers coming out to fill their lungs with cancer, and share their stench with us. To the point we were coughing between bites and waiving it away. Most restaurants keep smokers away from their patrons and food-Chimes needs to address this on the back patio. We left without dessert because we couldn't take the smoke anymore. It really was that bad. Shame, it really is a beautiful view. read more

The Chimes Covington - View from our table in the deck - Pubs Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

So....I've been to the "original" Chimes MANY times (LSU gates) and the one on Coursey (also in Baton Rouge) several times but this was the first visit here. They're all good and I have to say that this one in Covington has the best layout and ambience with a killer outdoor eating area that offers more than just great food. I'm guessing this place is CRAZY on Game Day. Planning to find out. Angel was my server/bartender - friendly, fast knowledgeable - professional all the way through. Give that girl a raise!! I ordered the special soup/chowder of the day - "After the Boil" - and it was everything the name promised. And a little more - cream based with crawfish (of course) potatoes, onion and other bits and pieces. Seasoned JUST right. Side of hush puppies - amazing price, perfectly cooked and generous portions. Glad I stopped in! Will be back in the Fall! read more
