23 Best American Restaurants near Covington

“Absolutely wonderful! Food was fantastic but I walked in with 3 (2 year old and town 6 year olds) kids alone. I really have had a long day. These women got my kids drinks, coloring stuff, and distracted them while I ordered. It’s a small thing but I can’t thank all of them enough. I just needed a hand and they gave two! The wife and I will absolutely be doing a date night soon! That was the best experience I have had at a restaurant in a very long time! Thank you so much! Oh and onion rings and wings were 🔥! Wally“

“Husband and I drove an hour just to try somewhere new. Food was great. The bartender and server were very nice and interacted with us our entire time there. Definitely will go back.“

“awesome fun karaoke party“

“Have always had a Great dinner! We love having Sara as our server. Planning a lunch, hoping we get Sara!“

“Went to Culver's in Troy a week ago. Spent $40+ and drove back to Piqua before I realized that they forgot 2 burgers. Not cheap burgers either. Called them and instead of telling me to come pick them up, they said they would send me a coupon in the mail. So my daughter and I had sides for dinner(pretzels and fries). Today I take my coupon for the food I already paid for and the Manager Katrina said that the coupon only was for one sandwich and refused to give me all my food I had already paid for and waited a week to get reimbursed on. Katrina said that I should have kept my receipt. Even though they sent me a coupon. To make it worse 2 teenage looking girls stood behind the manager at the window laughing and talking about me trying to get my food. I asked Katrina their names to include in the complaint but she refused to give the names. I asked for the General Managers name and she said it was Cheryl, but she was not in today. Very frustrating. All I want is what I paid for. Not sure how to get it. Plan to call the GM, call corporate(closed until Monday), write reviews everywhere I can.“

“Lena was our waitress and we love her, she makes sure you don't run out of drinks and that if you need anything at all. Very friendly and polite. She is a great waitress. The food is always Great.....“

“Our company would like to say thank you. We had a wonderful Christmas party.“

“Ordered the cheese curds to start, they are great. Fell apart when I got the Cuban and what I think was a chunk of wood? Was in it. Looked like a piece my husband would use in a smoker so idk if it was from that since I believe it was a smoked pork on the Cuban? Idk but never ordering anything with the pork again. The drinks are alright, a good variety. Pizza is really good, thinner crust. Service is different than other places. Seems more like when you go to Fazolis or something and you don’t have a waitress you just order at the counter and get your drinks there and then they bring the food to whatever table you say you’re sitting at and you get your own refills at the bar area. There’s a lot of indoor and outdoor seating and they seem to be very dog friendly. Good spot if you’re going down for a Lock 9 event HOWEVER you will be waiting in line 45 minutes to an hour for a drink if there is an event so better grab two“

“Visited Wednesday at noon. Food was wonderful, excellent service, friendly staff and owners. great atmosphere to sit and visit with friends. Very reasonable pricing. We will be returning!!!!“

“Update: I spoke with Elliot and we had a very good conversation over the phone and even better at the restaurant. He invited us back and it was a totally different experience. Ashlee (sp) was our server/bartender as she was picking up tables all over the restaurant. She was very personable and on top of her service. You could see that they were still short staffed but the team that worked that evening was on top of it. Elliot was very kind and professional and has true hospitality and leadership skills. When we stroll back this way in a year, we will probably see you again. 😎 Thanks again Elliott for the "WOW" experience. You are a kind human.

We stopped in at 4:00 pm on a Saturday with my 7 year old granddaughter for a party of 5. The host informed us that it was a 45-50 minute wait because their servers called off. The restaurant was empty and no other guests were waiting. The bartender was leaning against the bar chatting and no manager in sight. Why couldn't the bartender pick up some tables, the manager as well as it was still early and again the restaurant was 90 percent empty. Back in my day in the restaurants, I would be all over picking up tables as that is my money and as a manager, the same and then give the tips to the team for making it happen. Didn't look like a very good environment for employees or guests. It has been over 10 years since I stepped into an Applebee's and this one just confirmed that there is really no reason to ever do it again. My granddaughter is the one who wanted to go here but we enjoyed great hospitality and food at a different restaurant. I would recommend staying away from this location.“

“Nice layout, pretty wide open and well maintained. Greens are firm and roll super fast but true.“

“I have been going to lee’s since they were next to ulbrich’s when I was little, my favorite place to get Cole slaw for sure. My daughter lives in Illinois and whenever she comes to visit ,she always makes a stop at lee’s to take some home when she leaves as they don’t have lee’s there.“

“Garlic-Q’s Boneless chunks were awesome!“

“Pecan waffles 🧇. and hashbrowns... tasty good food..“

“Im not able to eat most ice cream. But im able to keep bo bos down and the flavors are fantastic!!“

“My family and I stopped in Troy on our way south and found Bob Evans as we were passing through. Dinner was great with a home cooked meal feeling. It was a fantastic choice after driving all day. Will be sure to stop in again if we have the option to!
The only thing I would recommend is for there to be two sides included with the kids' meals so we could give them something like a vegetable and mashed potatoes etc.
Thanks again!“

“I loovvveee Bob Evans. Their's is the only breakfast meat I'll eat in restaurants (especially the sausage patties). Great biscuits, they need to cook the breakfast potatoes a little more done, eggs were just right.

Kid-friendliness: Although we did not have children with us, there were several children in the restaurant. Well behaved and cute to watch the little ones. We were all children once, and some people need to remember that in a family restaurant.“
