The food is expensive and that would be fine if it were worth the money. It was obviously frozen and sad. The chef added a lot of cumin to pico de gallo salsa which ruined the flavor of the dish. The crab cakes are not fresh. The best thing about our meal were the french fries, which were again, from frozen but at least they heated them up right.

Always great food. We go to The Cove for our romantic dinners and celebrations. The specials are great but the standard menu choices are great too. We have the frequent diner discount card.

Good food, excellent service. Prices are a little high but reasonable. My seafood special was very good. My wife's pasta was tasty. Excellent focaccia. Active bar.

Food was excellent, very fresh selection of seafood. Always enjoy their locally sourced shrimp, regardless of the dish it is featured in. The location is a bit cramped since it is right next to another shop, so parking can sometimes be a bit tight but is generally pretty solid. Overall, The Cove is an excellent representation of Holden Beach seafood cuisine for a good price.

The Cove used to be our favorite place to eat but not anymore. We’ve been here two times this week, all of our food was cold the first night and tonight it was not only cold but not edible. We won’t be back.
Went 2 times during my visit to Holden and I would recommend it to anyone looking for vegetarian options here at the beach. The black bean burger is excellent and reasonably priced. Plenty of options, all look well made with some thought and love behind the dishes. I will definitely go back!

My wife and I and our friends all had different entrees ranging from shrimp scampi, crab cakes, and burgers. We all agreed that the food was delicious, the portions were large and the price was reasonable by today’s standards. The crab cakes were very good and the shrimp scampi was excellent. It has recently changed hands and the young couple managing it are so very gracious.

Went to the Cove for dinner with friends and although the food was delicious, the service wasn’t what you expected for the price and the dining room was loud. We waited for drinks, waited for food (some arriving 10 minutes after we had been served), and waited to get the check. Like I said, the food was very good but be prepared to wait.
