Restaurants in Covington

“What an amazing place to hold birthday party and a night out! Over the weekend we hosted my husband’s birthday party at Ripples event space. They were amazing from the service to the food and they were very accommodating to all of our requests! Trish and Matt did an amazing job with service and then everyone kept going on about the food! Way to go!!! Thank you so much for an amazing night out!”

“over 200 different gins. good tapas. live music.”

“We celebrated my birthday at Carmelo’s, our first time there. The experience was incredible, and our server was exceptional. The food was absolutely amazing & I can’t stop thinking about it! We had the oxtail pasta and the red fish. Fish is my favorite, and I’ve never had better tasting fish. Our server also convinced us to try the cauliflower, which was amazing. I’m already planning our next visit!! Shout out to Mitch and his partner for creating such an amazing restaurant!”

“Everything is AMAZING!!!!”

“Chat GPT had directed us here on Saturday the 4th. The food was great! My son and I each had the Salmon with Sweet Potato fries. We had both flown in from 2 different states for a couple of attractions. After the Salmon we finished off a huge slice of Carrot Cake. The best I have ever had. Annie M was very attentive, kind and had a very happy face. For everyone, actually. I just wanted to say how pleased and surprised we were with how good everything was. And I also wanted to compliment Annie M.”

“Awesome place to check out some very rare, vintage spirits.”

“Taj Mahal is by FAR our favorite Indian food in the entire region - we recommend it all the time. Incredibly delicious and fresh, always consistent, and the dining area has a warm atmosphere! Favorite dishes are the saag paneer and curried chicken + garlic naan. The fact that they’re open late is the cherry on top. We will be long time fans and customers here”

“The best Korean food hands down in the area. We come from the Dayton area and always leave 배불러요!”

“Mama’s on Main has some of the best food we have enjoyed while visiting the area. It’s a must!!!”

“I highly recommend The Dinner Detective if you are in the area. It was a fun experience with friendly people and good food.”

“I recently hosted a baby shower at Blinker's Tavern and I must say it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. This establishment truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect, leaving me with a lasting impression. From the moment I reached out to Blinker's to inquire about hosting the baby shower, the event coordinator Amy L. was incredibly friendly, attentive and accommodating. The restaurant, servers and host went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. They seamlessly coordinated the flow of food and beverages, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and allowing me to enjoy my time. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Thank you!”

“I could drink here all day. Bartender was great finding drinks my wife and I loved. I'll stop here whenever I'm in town. Drinks are mixed with care. 😊”

“Came for Thanksgiving buffet; cannot say enough good things! Food was outstanding, everyone working was so friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful time. Five stars!”

“This was really good! I didn't have my hopes up because sometimes hotel restaurants can get away with serving mediocre food to a captive audience, but I genuinely enjoyed everything I ate at the Fifth Lounge in the Radisson. We got the stuffed breadsticks ($12 for three, a little steep) fish sandwich and tots ($13?) and a burger and fries ($14). The server was super sweet and gracious despite being the only person working the entire restaurant and bar. The tots and fries were perfectly fried and had a great Cajun seasoning on them. The burger was delicious and the fish sandwich was great too, I liked how soft the bread was. FYI No vegetarian options at all (menu in pics)

Vegetarian options: No vegetarian options at all

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is in main lobby floor of hotel and has no stairs or steps. There are some tables you could pull a wheelchair up to but many tables are high tops”

“Excellent food. My wife loved her fried chicken and I loved my crab cakes (some of the best I've had). The server wad very attentive. This place never disappoints.”

“Enjoyed our dinner tonight. The Rainbow Vegetable Flatbread was delicious as was the Shrimp scampi and Caesar salad. We asked for bread and was told they do not have bread for table service. Don’t understand. I think bread should be available with the entrees. We will go back. Did enjoy dinner!”

“Food was great and service was Awesome”

“Pizza was made to perfection and the nice young lady working today was exceptionally kind and shared with us the secret of the seasoning tasty sprinkles. Best pizza we've had in a long while.”

“Amazing people making incredible sweet goodness!!! Literally the best.”

“I went to Herb and Thelma’s for the first time. It did not disappoint. Very tasty, juicy burgers. Delicious sauerkraut. Manhattan to rival any other Manhattan from an upscale bar. Everyone is friendly. Such a fun atmosphere. Be prepared to be surprised by the food and friendly atmosphere. Cash only.”

“This place is a 6/10 in.my book. burger was over cooked, wings also. the bacon cheese fries were atrocious. cold cheese, something that I assume was bacon before it was cooked to 1980s baco bits. the coney was a 7/10. it tasted like something was missing. I was really looking forward to this place but I have high expectations for a $16.00 burger. it was thin (the new trnd is called smash that means thin) and cooked to a point that lost it juices.(not that I was asked how I wanted it cooked) its a cozy ..ok cramped space but cool vibe but sorry waaaaaaay over priced for the quality of food we were served our server was ok. Im not mad just disappointed”

“Love Wunderbar! Will always look forward to coming back!”

“Excellent food and service. We will definitely be back”

“amazing food and service wish I could get over there more often”

“I love this place! The employees and owner are so nice and welcoming and the prices are very fair.”

“Whenever in a town for the first time, we look for an Irish pub. We’re very happy to have found Paddy’s. We had the bar/bartender to our selves for a short while. Discussed Irish whiskeys, history of the bar and more. Had a great time but had to move on. The Casey’s from Michigan.”

“Recently had a 30th birthday at Molly’s. They were super easy to book with, no outrageous room hire costs! They were very accommodating and we had a great night”

“KungBrew had the best coffee and tea in greater Cincy. The cafe is gorgeous, the baristas are friendly and talented, and every drink I’ve ever gotten there has been perfect. The local art is a lovely bonus.”

“Olla is one of my favorite places! Food is excellent! Quick service. In the spring, summer, and fall, I love sitting outside when it's not raining. I always take my out of town guests here.

My go to is Birria Guti Nachos!”

“Came into town for a wedding and made a new friend with this vendor. My teenage son was thrilled with having an all beef hotdog. Best of all they take Apple Pay and credit cards if you’re light on cash. Next time we are in town we know where to go”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ North South Baking has the BEST Rhubarb Jam Filled Cruffins in all of Northern Kentucky — hands down! If you haven’t tried them yet, do yourself a favor and go ASAP. The flavor is unreal — perfectly balanced, flaky, and filled with that tangy-sweet jam that hits just right. Beyond the incredible pastries, the customer service is absolutely stellar. The staff makes you feel like family the moment you walk through the door. They’re kind, welcoming, and passionate about what they do — and that energy is contagious. This place has created lifelong memories for me, not just because of the food, but because of the people. North South Baking is a true gem. 💛🍓🥐”

“Nice food, low key, laid back ambiance. Good service. Cov-gem!”

“Fun and tiny coffee shop. Some delicious looking pastry available but I only had a fancy coffee. Also has a gift shop with some fun stickers. No indoor seating. Cute porch. Quiet neighborhood place.”

“Awesome hole in the wall away from the Mainstrasse. You need to check it out!!”

“Absolutely must try the Crabby Ben. Real crab meat atop an eggs Benedict with house made bacon jam. It’s to die for!! 🥚 🦀”

“Best team I’ve ever had! Ate with my family, had amazing service and everyone from the GM to the service was top 10!!! Jake Brooke Alex You guys are a 10/10 !!”

“Very good food and friendly staff. Was glad to have wandered into this place.”

“The vibes were electric the second we walked in, definitely the spot on a Saturday night. We sat at the bar and ordered food through the QR code and later grabbed a seat by the fire 😍. Not my preferred way of ordering but it made perfect sense for the bar setting. The quesadilla was amazing and my husband got the wings, we shared the cornbread, the butter!! 🔥 We had the sweetest little bartender help us, I didn’t catch her name but she was cracking us up! Good vibes all around and worth checking out!”

“We just held a large party for my moms birthday here. I never leave reviews but felt like I should! This place is perfect for parties! Staff are great - Jess the manager is very responsive for planning the event and Yogi was awesome before and during the party !! Definitely recommend.”

“Outstanding food! Got the classic cuban and plantains. The cuban was spot on. Crunchy on the outside, moist and balanced on the inside. The plantains were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Even my 5 year old couldn't get enough.”

“Second Story & staff support rescue dogs, hosting adoption events where people are able to get to know adoptable dogs in a fun, social atmosphere. We love Second Story!”

“customer service, presentation of food and taste were all excellent. highly recommend this place. the vibe is also pretty cool.”

“Amazing Tacos😋 best in town”

“Loved this place. First time and will definitely be going back. I suggest the beef sliders and salmon tacos. So tasty!!”

“I was responsible for placing a rather large corporate order with specialty pizzas, dietary restrictions and extra requests. Alicia (unsure of the spelling) was working the morning shift on 2/26 and absolutely rocked. She handled the order for me while handling the walk in orders, made sure everything was perfectly cooked and cut, and it seemed like she was training another employee at the same time (all three folks working on the order were great but only caught her name!). Next time I’m in charge of the group lunch order, I know where I’m going.”

“Food was yummy. Service was good. Just small wait but worth it.”

“Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food! The background story is really cool.”

“The guy who gave us our order was fantastic. We ordered the chicken pizza, it was ok, good but not fantastic, what was excellent was the salad we ordered with figs. Outstanding. We ate in our hotel, so maybe if then pizza had been fresh it would have been better, and that's on us. After a long day of traveling, we were too tired to dine in.”

“Nice bar, people are friendly. Good times.”

“This was my first time at the gruff and it was absolutely amazing. The food was great. The service was amazing as well, and we got to sit outside and enjoy the weather! Most definitely will be going back.”

“😍Great Gals and always hoping 😍”

“best Mexican restaurant in Covington. our waitress was so nice and always being helpful. food was spot on. leaving $20 tip was worth every dollar. thanks for a great experience”

“Great staff, great drinks, great atmosphere. Come on a weekday for a chill lounge feel, or come on a weekend for a packed bar. Whatever you’re looking for, you can find it here. Also, best Espresso Martini in the metro area, by a long shot.”

“My family went to Cincinnati to see the Bengals. We stayed in Covington Kentucky. On Christmas eve there isn't a lot open. We went to the Main st in Covington and stumbled across Zola. We were happy we did. They food was tasty and fair portions. Service was outstanding. Thanks for being open. Cheers.”

“Cozy, quirky, and charming! Visited for the first time, but will return!”

“I visit other Frisch's and have never had a bad experience, but this Frisch's at 20 Kyle's Lane, Covington, KY location is 5-Stars Tops!!! Haley who works the Drive-thru Window Service and her Teammate Co-workers do an Outstanding Job. The Cook-Staff Team does a Remarkable Job on everything they cook/grill up, never has there ever been any food item that was not worthy of 5-Stars. A few friends who visit this Frisch's location have commented how glad they are that this Restaurant is in their neighborhood, they always have great experiences when visiting. Keep Up the Great 5-Stars Service!!!”

“Thank you…thank you. It’s perfect. I said “winter” theme and you all killed it. I drove 40 mins this am because the cake is always worth it. ❤️❤️”

“Best sushi within a driving radius! Ive tried sooo many things from here and everything had been phenomenal! I didnt think so many menu items could taste as good as everything has. This restaurants food is seriously mind blowing. The added bonus....all the staff are super friendly and easy to get along with. Down to earth atmosphere and a comfortable setting.”

“Great Gyros & Fries 🍟 MY FAVE!!”

“great place great bar maid”

“Great ice cream, amazing number of flavors and nice people. Try the Kinder cones.”

“I love this place!!! I normally get chicken tacos or a beef huarache and both never disappoint. There are definitely times someone in the kitchen is lacking, but I feel most times I’m there I get the most perfect chicken or beef. I love the salsas they bring to the table as well, they’re an essential when trying the tacos, my personal favorite is the green one. Sometimes the music can be too loud or there are children running around, but it adds to the vibe and never annoys me. Such a delicious local taqueria, this is my place for a taco fix!”

“It's a dive bar. There's a couple of TVs and a pool table. Cash only.
The cheeseburger and fries are surprisingly good. Seriously, it's worth stopping here just to get a cheeseburger and fries. It was that good.”

“This is my local kroger starbucks and the staff here are so kind! They always get my drink right and they are friendly and professional. Last year, my 5 year old daughter drew some pictures for the baristas because she knew we were coming in to get a coffee and a cake pop. They acted so excited and hung the drawings up on the wall! Now we see them every time we walk by and I just thought that was so kind of them. Will continue to frequent this location!”

“What a wonderful coffee shop with an amazing mission!!!! Will be thinking about my coffee for days….it was so good!!!”

“What’s not to love? Great location, great people and amazing bartenders”

“had fun here but would have more fun with karaoke. would strongly recommend a karaoke night to go with the food n drinks”

“Best bar in Covington and northern KY.”

“Very Very Good Food and very authentic. Nice people, food is delicious and very well priced. Totally impressed, I have been here several times for carryout for lunch. Can't beat it.”

“One of the staff thought it'd be 'funny' to try and steal my purse. I was watching the band play and he tried to take my purse from me. He only stopped pulling on my purse when my friend and I yelled at him. He tried to play it off as a joke. I didnt get his name. We left after the incident. This place is not safe for women when staff are behaving like this.”

“We had a great time with Megan on the rooftop bar. We highly recommend this location.”

“The BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE around!! I always get my yoo-hoo shook just right before leaving!!”

“My son and I went tonight because Jen Dalton from Local 12 News said she had eaten there after the taping of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. We don’t usually let TV guide is but hearing Jen go on about the food, we had to try it. We were NOT disappointed. Great food, fantastic service, friendly atmosphere! They were slammed but service was still fast and friendly. The restaurant is so unique you can always find something to look at! So many options to choose from, you’ll find something, even for the pickiest of eaters! Will definitely go back and HIGHLY recommend!”

“The bbq food was so delicious! The homemade bbq sauces were so tasty! The baked beans were delicious too! Also, the pretzels were some of the best I’ve ever had (especially with the garlic seasoning added)!”

“Have ended many a night here over the span of many years, this place may not have the trendiest drinks nor the hippest crowds, but it has real people happily working and patronizing. A real gem, old Cov as it gets! Beautiful back bar, perhaps the most gorgeous in all of Kenton Co. Serves 7oz Little Kings, that says it all. Don't change a damn thing! Okay, maybe the name...”

“Honestly I was sceptical to try this place because it was pretty empty. But this place is delicious. I’ve been searching for good Mexican food and I tried their tacos they were great! They definitely deserve a lot more business. Osman was the one who helped us and he was super friendly.”

“Love the vibe love the people Cassie and her friend are amazing bartenders . Great deal drinks and karaoke Wednesdays with a pool table gay bar behind it you can't do better then that oh and they had snacks when I went !”

“The best of all chili parlors in Cincinnati. Meatier chili and better taste. Fast, friendly service. Always a treat!”

“Great hotel bar and restaurant”

“We were there with our 2 kids and had an amazing dinner. The staff, the atmosphere and, the food were incredible!!!”

“Great food , not too heavy”

“We were on a walking poker run on Main Strausse in Covington, one of our stops was Mac's, we bellied up to the bar and Ashley took care of us. The beer is cold and the service is great. I ordered the inferno burger, most places that offer something like this the heat intensity is minimal, the Devils Breath sauce they use on this burger is no joke. I had hiccups from the first bite and a good mouth burn for a little while after I was done. It has a great flavor and recommend this to anyone that enjoys a goid burn. Thanks Macs and staff for a good time.”

“Friendly atmosphere! Great service! Cold beer!!! Everyone was singing with the band!!!”

“Best authentic mexican food around im from texas and nothing else in the area compares good honest people and great service ill definitely be coming back over and over highly recommend.”

“Love Gold Star, Great Food , Friendly Staff.”

“Gold Star is our go Cincinnati style chili. We prefer it over Skyline Chili. When we go back home to NKY we make it a point to stop by GoldStar for our first meal.”

“This is our go-to Chinese take out. The food is always good and both my wife and kids enjoy it. The kids get the chicken lo mein and sweet and sour chicken that they call Chinese chicken nuggets. The lo mein is flavorful and the noodles are tender. The sweet and sour chicken was crispy.

I got the beef with broccoli and pork fried rice. The beef was flavorful and the broccoli was cooked perfectly, still just a little crunchy and bright green.

My wife gets the bourbon chicken which is her favorite. It is delicious. She also ordered the cheese wontons (crab Rangoon) and they were crispy and full of filling. The pork egg rolls were good too.”

“Thank you for your kindness and delicious pizzas! We posted your picture on our page. 🍕”

“love the mushroom Hoagy absolutely the best”
