Restaurants in Covington

“Passing through Covington and was very happy we decided to have dinner here! For starters, we got the foxy balls which is a really flavorful fish cake, the portions were big and satisfying. We then had their special for a limited time, Suya Beef and Suya Chicken wings. The flavors are on point! Both beef and chicken were seasoned so good, the chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. It has an enjoyable heat, perfect amount of spice. Even the cucumbers and plantains were seasoned well, everything on the plate was amazing. They are definitely worth it. The prices are very affordable too considering the quality and the portion you’re getting. Will definitely be back when we’re in the area again! ❤️”

“I wish I can give 10 stars! Our server McKenzie was awesome! Very attentive! So friendly! I felt like i was in someone’s home! The love the ambiance! The chef and his lovely wife! The carrots was so good! Like nothing I’ve ever tasted! The tots was amazing! The vodka pasta house made noodles was awesome’! The meatballs! The fritto! Every thing was made to perfection. The dessert which is the Ricotta donuts is a must have! I’ve never tasted anything so fluffy and light in my life! I will be back, you have to try it.”

“Our 3rd visit to the mystic grill today. Food is always so good! Sat on the rooftop for the first time and it was so cozy. Alexia was amazing! We had a great time!”

“14 Year Anniversary Dinner!!

Such an incredible experience! We got there at 5 o’clock on a Tuesday. It was very slow and it was awesome. We started with the oysters. My husband got the steak with the fingerling potatoes. And I got the crabcakes with a side of the cabbage and apple slaw that came with another entrée and I highly recommend putting those two together! The crab cakes were amazing, do not get me wrong!! They just needed a little extra somethin somethin. The freshness and crunch was amazing! I could eat a huge bowl of just the slaw alone!

From the moment we walked in Gabby was absolutely amazing, The hostess. The sweetest postcard with everyone’s signature on it, and she also put a little of her artwork all over it. So sweet a special.

Chris was an absolutely amazing waiter! A lot of energy and great recommendations for food! He was so excited to gift us complementary champagne as soon as we sat down. We love raw oysters and he was able to Set us up with three different types of oysters. 4 from Virginia, 4 from Florida and 4 from Massachusetts! Perfect way to try different ones from different areas! I will say I missed my saltine crackers, though. Haha.
Jett the Bartender made the BEST cosmos!!! I like mine, a little heavier on the acidic side, and he nailed it to a tea! So much so the hubby had to order him one. Which he’s a beer man.
Highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or even a chill night.

Thank you all again for making 14 Years so special. We WILL BE BACK!!”

The entire experience was beyond wonderful with a clean and pleasant environment.
The staff went above and beyond and the food was served in a timely manner, hot and delicious.
Exactly as we ordered with absolutely no issues.
Drinks were refilled without having to hunt down the waitress and bread sticks were always on the table.
This was a once in a lifetime experience as far as service goes.
Definitely will be returning to this restaurant and would 💯 recommend.”

“Do not go to this address. Go to the Instagram to get the right address. I made that mistake and had to turn around and go to the lithonia address. Food pretty good but make sure you go on pay day after the bills paid lol keep up the good work fellas!!”

“Great taste and nice service. The only thing I noticed was a strong cleaning-product smell coming from the kitchen area, similar to Clorox. It wasn’t a major issue, but it was noticeable enough that I thought it was worth mentioning.”

It’s roasted in house by Jason, and the staff are students of how to make the best cup of coffee, all the way down to the science of how flavors and acidity and milk and cream and everything works. The owners and staff are so hospitable— you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in the door. Everything is clean and gorgeous.”

“Smoke Friendly is the best. Great staff, great food, great family fun restaurant. Brunswick stew is the best, and the Big Charlie is excellent. It is our go-to BBQ restaurant since we found it 2 years ago. We drive past several BBQ restaurants to get there, and it is well worth it!”

“First there tonight and loved it. If you want an inexpensive family-friendly place to go this is it. Kids are $.99 on Wednesdays for the all-you can eat pizza buffet. Staff is very friendly and keeps the food cooking!”

I woke up with their sirloin tips on my mind and my husband and I went from breakfast. It was delicious. Everything was perfect except for the breakfast potatoes. It was sooo salty that my husband and I couldn't eat either of our portions. The pancakes were perfect, my sirloin tips were awesome and my husband enjoyed everything on his plate except the bacon and breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were tooo salty and he said it was cheap and chewy bacon...IDK I don't eat pork.”

“My job had Los Monchies Mexican Cuisine food truck come out on Friday.The stag were so nice and friendly.The food was amazing!I had the Mexican Hot Dog, which was a plump All Beef frank, wrapped in bacon and topped with onions, chilis, tomatoes & cilantro.Everything blended well together.Also had the Chorizo Nachos, while I was expecting/hoping for queso blanco, they serve it with the yellow nacho cheese, which isn’t bad, but doesn’t ring authenticity.But they use fresh jalapeños instead of pickled which is a blessing, and they top it with a hearty amount of chorizo.All in all, was very happy with what I got for $17”

“Friendly service and delicious food! Well priced tacos and you get a generous portion of protein. You order at the food counter and pay when you leave the store at the front cashier. An assortment of bottled drinks are available in store. There is seating available, but I could see it filling up during lunch hour.”

“OH MY GOSH!!! These plain chicken wings were so good that if this store were next to a Popeyes they would likely shut the Popeyes down ,yes the chicken was just that good, this is the second time I've had the plain wings here the first time I though mabey it was a fluke so I gotta try it again to be sure I did and oh my gosh they were good, this location and there is another location near Braselton Ga thats right at Hwy 211 and interstate 85 I think it's in a chevron that Krispy Crunchy chicken was so good and juicy I had to ask the lady who made it, you know how the drum part of the wing is white meat and sometimes it can be dry, well not with these wings the meat was moist and good even after being refrigerated for a day, to me Popeyes loses something after being refrigerated, but not these wings. I've been meaning to write a good review on this chicken for such a long time now but I work for a living and it just kept slipping by me but the thought always stayed in my mind the chicken is just that good, finally google asked how was the chicken and here we are they ge an AAAAA+”
