Randomly found this place while looking for a quick bite on vacation. Red leg on fries was awesome, burgers and fries were great too. Prices were excellent, would be a regular if I lived here.

Let me just say it: If you think you’ve got a go-to spot for hot wings and you haven’t tried Red Bird’s Hot Wing Wednesday, chances are—you’re f***in’ up. Today, I picked up a to-go order of their wings. When they asked if I needed napkins, I said no. Why? Because I drive stick, and I knew if I had napkins, I’d be tempted to eat these things while shifting gears. I was trying to be responsible. I failed. Before I even hit 471, the box was open, and I was tearing into those wings like I hadn’t eaten in weeks. I’m on wing two, about to shift into 5th, and disaster strikes—my glorious Red Bird wing slips from my grasp and falls between the seats. That cursed, phone-devouring crevice claimed yet another victim. And that’s when I truly understood just how good these wings are. No hesitation. No shame. I dove down into the dark unknown, pulled that spicy, smoky, juicy masterpiece from the depths, and devoured it like the car-goblin between my seat and console had never even seen it. By the time I pulled into my driveway, all six wings were gone. $7 worth of pure joy inhaled at 65mph. I sat there licking my fingers clean, reveling in the flavor bomb I had just experienced. And then—plot twist—I realized I hadn’t even touched the blue cheese. Red Bird’s house-made blue cheese and crisp celery? Also top-tier. A perfect cool-down act after the spicy BBQ madness. Everything I’ve tried at the Red Bird Deli has been a home run, but this wing-fueled, manual-driving, near-religious experience needed to be shared. 10/10. Get the wings. Eat irresponsibly. You won’t regret it.

So far Ive had the burger, beef-n-cheddar, and steak sandwich. This place is a jewel and I haven’t even tried the wings yet. The staff are super friendly and the food is gourmet. GRAND SLAM!

Best place to eat in Covington. Everything I've had is excellent. My favorite is the Beef and Cheddar w/the horsey sauce, the grilled Chicken Sandwich w/grilled peppers and onion and the SAUCES! The special sauce, the serrano ranch and the blue cheese are soooo good. Hot wings with blue cheese, the spicy BBQ ribs and I usually don't eat ribs but I tried one and these are the only ribs I'll eat. YUM all around.
