50 Best American Restaurants near Covington

“Every sandwich I have decided on has been so tasty. I’m not a huge fan of potato salad unless we make it at home but theirs is so good, I upgrade to it every time. If your a Mimosa fan like I am try 1 you will definitely enjoy. If you have not given this place a try I recommend to do so, it’s well worth it ❤️“

“Nice Rooms and outstanding“

“We are at Applebee's just about every Friday afternoon, where Victoria, the bartender, takes our order. She is so sweet and personable and quick on her feet. The gentleman manager is always friendly too, and always comes by to check on us, as does Victoria.. All the servers are very pleasant. The food is good and not overpriced. We're happy to come here.“

“The food comes fast, the fries a bit on the cold side but the buildings a/c must be on 60 because it was freezing. Variety of drinks is awesome and using fruit gives extra flavor. The new queso lava burger is so neat. It comes in a ring contained on top of burger and then you lift it and it oozes cheese all over the burger. Salmon has good flavor and seasoned well. Wings always hit with teen son.“

“Great food and drinks was a lot of fun“

“Nice people and good food“

“I had such a great experience at JOEY Southcenter due to our lovely server McKenna. She was patient although I am extremely indecisive and she helped me make some great choices!“

“Excellent food and service“

“Want a great brunch with a neighborhood feel? Maggies have it all- we love our weekend brunches there! The food is great and the owner, Ramen takes the time to visit with all the customers and make you feel special!“

“Some of the best home made corned beef hash I've ever had. Perfect poached eggs and fresh sourdough toast! How can you go wrong!!“

“Better than any Denny’s or IHOP. One of those spots where guests still chat with each other nowadays. Stopped here between work meeting - the staff were very welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. Breakfast all day and decent coffee. Coming back next time I’m in the area!“

“stopped by on a whim as I drove down west valley highway and I was very pleased with the service and food! ordered lumpia, crispy pork belly combo and a brown sugar boba and I was blown away! the crispy pork was beyond good! came with a Mac salad some diced veggies and a wonderfully flavored rice with green onion. the lumpia was freshly made and the boba complimented everything. 10/10 would recommend“

“A nondescript pub on the outside with outstanding food and service on the inside. I went for the seafood special of black cod, which came plated as though i was at a restaraunt with white linens. And the taste... MMmmm! Hadn't eaten all day, so followed that with fish and chips. The thinly breaded very generous fish portions were cooked perfectly. After stirring the coleslaw to get the sauce up from the bottom, the flavors meet the high bar the rest of the dishes had set. Great IPAs on tap and a very good porter, too. But the night i was there the rotating sour tasted more like a cider. Bonus: A seat at the bar may treat you to a view of the kitchen in action!“

“We eat here frequently and love everything about it.“

“Then go in there for years with my aunt and uncle and other family members.. we used to go to Taco Tuesday went in there the other night still a friendly atmosphere Nice little band playing.. it was all right for a night out drinking.. I wouldn't recommend it for kids I don't think kids are even allowed anymore.

Vegetarian options: I didn't ask but I imagine they got salads and everything..

Parking: It's kind of in a little shopping mall so there's plenty of parking spots also in front of the building.. it's not a big place so it's kind of limited to the people that come in.. which makes it nice.

Wheelchair accessibility: You definitely can get a wheelchair in there I seen one in with there when I was there..“

“Ive been here a few times and So far ive had the burger that was great! 😃the chicken wrap also a great choice 😁 and the most recent was the crispy chicken burger not a fan😐 I was hoping for a freshly breaded chicken breast patty and got a what look like a frozen chicken patty from safeway it was cooked well and I did try it to give it a shot for what a it was they did a good job

“On the water. Fantastic food“

“I was craving tacos one morning and found Burritos California open 24 hours near my work. So glad I stopped by! The girl at the register had a big smile and a great attitude, super friendly and gave me awesome menu recommendations. Honestly, every employee here seem genuinely happy cooks.

The young team runs the place with passion, and their menu suggestions are always spot on. You can see the kitchen it’s clean, professional, and the whole restaurant smells clean and fresh.

The food comes out fast, fresh, and full of flavor. The portions are huge honestly the biggest burrito I’ve ever had! It’s rolled perfectly too! Nothing pops or spills out. Their avocado sauce is incredible (and always fresh because it runs out so fast!). Even the free sauce and pickle bar are spotless.

They remember you if you come often and treat you even better each time. This is one of those rare restaurants you can trust. We need to support local spots like this run by young passionate people and help them grow! 🌯🔥“

“Me and my family visited Naya’s this noon for a brunch outing.We found out about it just this morning and decided to give it a try.Ill start with the food.Portions were well sized and the food was delicious.Ordered different varieties of eggs and some other options too.Everything was excellent.The server was very very nice too.Highly recommend this place.5 mins from Kent,Renton and Tukwila.“

“Had an overnight stay at the Hotel for business. Didn’t want to go out just something simple but good. The classic burger did not disappoint. Cooked exactly as I asked. Super juicy and fresh toppings. Fries were the seasoned kind. Just crispy enough but not too much. The menu has lighter foods and more upscale if that is your craving. Service was friendly and food came out in a very reasonable amount of time.“

“I’m from Dallas, TX and have had a hard time finding true southern BBQ in this entire state! Except Pete’s! Now, I’ve had great smoked brisket and other great smoked culinary experiences, but this one is the most Southern. What I mean is that the coleslaw is excellent with a medium shred, not too large or chopped too small, and an even amount of dressing. The sweet cornbread muffins with honey-butter straight from cast-iron are amazing. The pickle slices are even a culinary delight, sitting next to raw onions and a plethora of BBQ sauces to choose from. Oh, and free ice-cream cones if you even have room left to fill (we did not, lol). I could go on about the sweet tea, baked beans, slow-smoked ribs, shredded smoked pork, sausage, chicken, and desserts but…Just bring your appetite and try it for y’all’s selves! ;)“

“I performed here a few weeks ago and I had a great time!! The room is super cozy, the staff is super friendly, and the bulgogi cheesesteak is delicious! I definitely recommend The Brick 😎“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars!

Shoutout to Jack—our super fantastic server! Since it was a busy Saturday- he was all over the place servin a bunch of tables but still made us feel genuinely taken care of from start to finish. Big thanks to JC and the restaurant manager for delivering our food in record time—everything was hot and perfect! 🔥

I had the Quesadilla Salad and it was absolutely fire! We couldn’t resist the half-off apps, so you know we inhaled those wonton tacos. The rack of ribs? Slammin’ good! 😋

Jack also hit it out of the park with the dessert reco—that Lava Cake with ice cream was the perfect sweet ending to our night. And let’s not forget… he kept my lemons coming for my water on the rocks all night long! 😂 💧Also, he was super attentive to my 7-year old daughter for every request she made! She was lovin' her bottomless Strawberry Lemonade!

Truly 5-star service across the board. We’ll definitely be back. 🙌“

“Applebee's Grill + Bar – Review

Applebee's Grill + Bar is a popular casual dining chain known for its approachable American menu. It offers a wide variety of options including burgers, steaks, salads, and comfort foods like ribs and mac & cheese.

The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, making it great for casual outings, family dinners, or group gatherings. Service is typically attentive and friendly, with a focus on making guests feel welcome.

While the food is consistent and satisfying, it leans more toward classic, familiar flavors rather than gourmet or adventurous dishes. Applebee's also features regular promotions and happy hour deals, which add good value.

Overall, Applebee's is reliable for straightforward American fare in a comfortable setting.“

“We love the ribs on Wednesday but last time they were a little to spicy for us. But as usual we always have a great time there. Love the staff!“

“great local spot, went, will go again“

“Great price for fresh food!! Always enjoyed sitting in the bar, watching sports on the large TV’s Seahawks, Mariners or Sounders.\nI hope the management reads this, about 3 weeks ago stopped and ordered off the 2 for 1 price. I go in the back door and order, pointing to the menu. I get home and realize I was charged off the main menu for a lot more money. I’m embarrassed to admit that to my husband. \nYesterday I call ahead, order 2 salads and ask the price $23.??, great. I go in to pick up and get the young girl who is the expert on meals to go. She said would like to give $5.00, me thinking it’s a tip, I Say sure!\nI wait, it was 15 minutes later than I was told on the phone, that’s ok, I appreciate them. Then she hands me the machine to pay for food. Push Here! $39.00 and change. I say why so much, she says $23.00, no I say it says $39.00 she says “Oh that’s for a 20% tip, that she added. I said what was the $5. for? She gives me a long spiel, I hear for first time, about someone on bad times. By then I feel like, boy she’s slick!! I Say no tip, pay and leave. My mother was a waitress most of her life, I always give 20%, but what she is doing is wrong!! I’d love the manager to ask someone else to get takeout and see what happens. By the way, I tried to pay when I called the order in and was to told to pay when I come in? What if I couldn’t walk well, drive with right foot, bad knee on left leg? I’m sure management doesn’t want local customers unhappy twice.“

“The wings are best in King County!!“

“I did not know about this spot. The cabbage was tender and flavorful. The fried chicken was bomb. I actually ate the skin. I NEVER EAT THE SKIN. Perfect not greasy. You receive a free drink and small bag of chips with your order. I didn't try the desserts. Next time.“

“The owners are the best. Good service and great food.“

“had the French dip before the Seattle Thunderbirds game. very good, good service.“

“Great venue, fab music and fantastic hosts.“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“My family has loved the takeout from Oshio 2 for years, both the teriyaki and the burgers! The other night I was dog-sitting in the area and ordered the Western Burger with fries (I highly recommend the fries here, they are delightfully crispy.) As this town continues growing up and corporate franchises move in, consider supporting a Black Diamond OG local favorite 🍱🍔🥤“

“I was there to day and a man went in to the women's bathroom with a bunch of kids in there and I called him out of the bathroom and the manger and security protected him and said I was in the wrong and that he could us the bathroom. there was a family bathroom he could have used. this dave in buster is messed up in it's believe and anyone who supports this is messed up to. there was a women who took her son in to the family bathroom and he was five. this is how it should be. no MAN SHOULDN'T GO IN TO THE GIRLS BATHROOM PERIOD. SO I WILL NEVER GO TO THIS DAVE AND BUSTER AGAIN.“
