The Standard Covington — Restaurant in Covington

A friend and I went here on a sunny weekday afternoon and sat outside. After about ten minutes she went inside and was told "someone will be out" another ten minutes and someone did come out to report that we needed to order at the bar. Ok. So we put in our order, paid and waited for our drinks before returning to our table outside.

The aesthetic is on point! I can see this being great fun with a group of framily on a weekend night. There are lots of games to play a varied and interesting drink menu and fun decor both indoors and outside.

We also liked the food selection. But we were informed my choice, Salmon Salad, was not available. No problem, I told her my second choice which was the same price. The food finally arrived, it was brought to us, with my original choice. 🤣 We were informed that someone went to their "other location" to get the salmon. I appreciated the effort! My friend had asked for onion rings to go with her Goetta Chopped Cheese Sandwich and they were not there. She ate half her sandwich before they arrived piping hot. We both enjoyed the food and atmosphere. They had 1960's music blasting which could have been turned down a few notches. At times we were shouting to each other over the music and traffic noise.

The lovely person who helped us was also the bartender, busing tables, and was the cashier. She was friendly, courteous and as efficient as possible given the erratic kitchen prep. I hope to check this place out again sometime when it's busier on a weekend night in hopes there will be full staffing.

The other important thing to note is that they actually have a gravel parking lot behind the building; however neither my friend or I saw that. The pay lot is close by but very expensive. So I recommend driving around the block to find...

they do not have deviled eggs anymore they are not served here please do not ask. as I’ve seen some other reviews say that the food was OK well I will admit I did have the bacon cheeseburger and the food on a scale of one to 10 the burger was easily a 7 1/2 for sure and the french fries were definitely an absolutely must have the French fries. It is a self-serve atmosphere for the most part which is kinda odd and not something that I really wanted I really do like to be catered to but it is different and certainly nostalgic you must go at least wants to say that you have been there before. I do not drink any alcohol at all so this is not a place for folks on average to hang out that do not drink. I could see this being a drinking atmosphere later on in the evening which is what the guy attending the bar proceeded to tell me about. So if that’s your thing then I could see definitely hanging out here in the evening if you Drink as for a kid like atmosphere fear yes I guess so kids are certainly welcome and should enjoy themselves but my young teenagers quickly got bored after 20 minutes but younger kids I imagine would probably enjoy themselves for a little while longer. Overall different solid four stars...

This is an old mechanic shop that has been renovated into nice dining spot. I really love the look of the place. My friend and I started off with deviled eggs they were really good the grippo flavor was an interesting add would recommend. Although I didn’t drink my friend LOVED her martini I would love to come back and try the different drink options. The food was average they do have some of the best french fries I’ve ever had ! My friend really loved her potato salad. (Although I hope the staff wears hairnets because we did find a piece of hair in the potato salad ) I originally got the fish sandwich. I didn’t care for it. I was able to switch my order out. I just got a fried chicken sandwich which was pretty average as well. Originally we came for brunch. I was disappointed to find out that it was only on the weekends, but I will definitely have to come back and give brunch a try outside of that I would visit to have a drink with friends and some appetizers. I do appreciate our server for being attentive and...
