★★★★★ 5.0 Amber Gillam · Dec 2025

Service is always fantastic. I personally love the bar sports local feel of the aesthetic. They smash for the burgers are fantastic. I love the burger sauce. Normally burn places aren’t memorable to me. This place is not able to be. The only other burger place that is memorable to me in and out, so that’s pretty good. I’m gluten-free and their buns are awesome and their sides are great too. The location in Covington is a vibe too

★★★★★ 5.0 Maria Nova · Sep 2025

A classic low-key sports bar that delivers exactly what you’d expect and in the best way. The burger was fresh, the waffle fries hit the spot, and the hot honey chicken & waffle was a pleasant surprise. Nothing groundbreaking or fancy, but that’s not why you come here. On the dive bar scale, this is an easy 5 stars. 🙌

★★★★★ 5.0 Dan Link · Jul 2025

By Golly, this place was wonderful! Burgers were killer and loved the waffle fries. Service was fast, friendly, and welcoming. Great bar and dining area. They have a loaded menu of options from sandwiches to salads to flatbreads & apps. A solid addition to Covington! My wife enjoyed her Johnny Boy Burger (think Big Boy). I devoured the BG's Bacon & Cheddar Burger. Had a great experience and will be back soon! Yummo 😋🍔🍟.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Chris Crankin · Nov 2025

The staff was very friendly and we got our food fresh and hot. Got burgers, fried pickles, onion rings, chicken tenders, and cheese fries. The food was fine. But nothing was particularly exceptional. My burger was dry and under seasoned but my wife said hers may have been over seasoned. So bit of an inconsistentancy there. The chicky tendies were good. So we're the fried pickles and onion rings. Cannot recommend the cheese fries, however. They use a cheese sauce which was not good. Tasted artificial. Definitely want to go back and give them another shot, maybe try some different items. But not in a huge hurry to do so.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Karen Brown · Apr 2025

We stopped in here today for a work lunch, and the food was very good, but the service wasn't. We sat there for half an hour or more, just waiting to order our drinks. Five stars for your good food but three stars or less for poor service.
