Cove Tavern

The taste of food is good, the fries are crispy, the ambience, the service. The only thing that I cannot accept is the fact that the food is cold. Not hot at all. Yes maybe a little warm, but still very cold. I was expecting for my ribs to be hot when it reaches the table but it is not. And that is the only concern. Love the taste and everything but the temperature. Otherwise, everything was good.

This place is very mediocre. The best part was the drink. The wings were a little warm when we got them. Not hot like they should have been. Not the best, not the worst I have had. The queso had a weirdish taste to it. We both ordered a burger. When asked how we wanted our burgers cooked, we said medium and we also asked for a runny egg yolk. The waitress said that the eggs will be done according on how you want our burger cooked. An interesting response. We ordered medium rare in hopes we would get the runny egg yolk and a burger cooked rhe way we wanted. We did not. The egg was fried hard. The burger was medium well. The floors were sticky along with the table. The service wasn't great either. It also had a damp smell. We should have left when we walked in. If you are looking for a med

The best Shrimp and Grits I’ve ever tasted! Extremely savory and the bread that comes along with it was extremely soft and buttery. Unlike lots that are crunchy. The wings are perfectly cooked, not drenched in sauce but coated just enough. The desert I had (the apple cobbler) was great however the “ ice cream “ that comes along with it is not actual ice cream. It’s what’s called an “ice cream product” which doesn’t melt like real ice cream would. Rather it turns into a mushy pudding texture over time. For context, the photo of the ice cream is after it’s been sitting out for 2hrs (still not melted) Overall a great meal. Compliments to the chef.

Overall our experience was just ok. We were greeted and seated immediately and our server came out shortly after. Our orders consisted of crab dip, shrimp and grits and Cajun salmon with mac n cheese and collard greens as sides. The dip was watery and didn’t have much flavor. The shrimp and grits, though a bit too cheesy, were some of the best I’ve ever had. I liked the salmon dish but the sauce seemed to overpower the salmon itself. The greens were pretty good but I didn’t care for the mac n cheese. It was also bland in my opinion. I also ordered a blueberry martini, which was good but it took a while to get to me (server forgot about it). Overall, I would give the place another try if I’m in the area.

First time at Cove Tavern for a late lunch/early dinner and will definitely be going back!! Restaurant and bathrooms were clean!! Food was delicious as well as our cocktails and they also have happy hour specials and daily food & drink specials!! We enjoyed the Covearita, the Tavern Mojito, and an ice cold draft beer as well as Loaded Tater Tots, Jumbo Shrimp Bangers ((serrano aioli was so good)) a Santa Fe Crispy Fried Chicken Bowl ((everything i wanted it to be and more)) Shrimp and Grits ((my sis was raving about these after the first bite)) and all were something to talk about even our fries!!😂 Also our server/bartender “Jen” was awesome, very attentive and patient and helped me with some great recommendations as well and she makes a great drink so what more could you ask for?? 10/10 w
