30 Best Southern Restaurants near Covington

“Great bar selection awesome bartender and good food!!“

“The fried chicken was excellent: I chose dark meat, it was fried so as the skin was crunchy and flavorful, meat was tender and juicy. All of my sides were really cooked well, properly seasoned. The Mac n cheese was really good, and the biscuits were light, fluffy and were eaten with honey and butter. The desserts there are good as well, we had the chocolate cake. All of the staff were friendly and attentive and I can't wait to go back.“

We went for a special occasion and were dressed up but saw people in various clothing styles. Everything was placed beautifully and the food was amazing! If you are looking for a great dinner make a plan to visit soon! Also this would be a wonderful place to take someone from out of town! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“It was great to sit outside on a sunny day. We had the hush puppies which were to die for due to the jalapenos and sauce. I enjoyed a tasty summer salad with pecans and my friend had a tasty grilled cheese with granny smith apples. The prices were reasonable and the service was friendly and efficient.“

“This location is something else. She gets an attitude, she cuts you off when you try to talk, she don't refund anybody money when they mess your order up, they have a website that she says she doesn't use but the orders coming to that store. She likes to argue with you about your food.
Can't wait until the linn st location reopens because avondale location is cray.“

“Very good service and good food“

“I absolutely loved the ribs and brisket. Chef's kiss for the meat. Tender, Moist, Great Flavor, 10/10
The sides? Not so much. The Mac and Cheese was dry not cheesy, lacked Flavor, and so did the greens 4.5/10. However, I will be back for the meat? People were very friendly and it definitely was a nice atmosphere.“

“The food was outstanding, despite it taking 40 minutes to make it to us.

Eating here kind of reminds me of eating at a funeral home. You'll enjoy the food, but the 1960s decor needs to go. It legitimately looks like a funeral home inside and out.“

She got them to-go rolls and drinks and changed their entire mood. Thank you for your kindness. You are appreciated more than you know.“

He made our visit to the Cold Springs O'Charley's reassure us that there are truly some young people that want to work and definitely know what excellent service means. We even told the manager how we felt about him. I wish him luck in his future and hope for his success!!! Thank You!!! David“
