About the Business

Herb & Thelma's Tavern, located at 718 West Pike Street in Covington, Kentucky, is a historic neighborhood institution known for serving the best burgers and coldest beer in Northern Kentucky for over 83 years. The tavern sources all of its products locally and makes fresh hamburger patties daily. Originally opened as Heine's Cafe in 1939 by Henry "Heine" Boehmker and his wife Marie, the tavern was later renamed Herb & Thelma's when their son and daughter-in-law took over in 1965. In 2012, the tavern was sold to beer historian Richard Ritchie, and in 2015, ownership changed hands to the Fessler family. Operating seven days a week, Herb & Thelma's Tavern continues to be a favorite spot for locals and travelers alike to enjoy delicious food and drinks in a welcoming atmosphere.

"Took the family to to get a bite to eat. Never been before but the reviews were great. This would be a good place to have a beer as the people are really friendly. However it’s not a place to really eat. The menu is basically a few burger choices and potato chips. Thats it. The burgers are small and average for the price. All four of us had a burger and chips. Bill was 60 bucks. Cash only. All four of us were less than satisfied when we left. Definitely save some money for the ride home to get something else to fill up on. Also place was really tiny and crowded. I am not sure what the other reviews are rating it 5 stars for. Not a place to take your family to eat. Would be a good place to have a drink tho if you’re not wanting anything more than snack food."

"Little bar/dive that's been around forever. Recently voted best burger - which although was good...not sure about the best, but that's what makes this a great country, we can agree to disagree. Pass on the chili though - completely bland, but the sausage sandwich is very good. You WILL walk out of here smelling like the place, busy fyi. The bathrooms are tiny and it's NOT really handicap accessible throughout the place. This is a local dive, and THAT is the reason to head over, get a cold one and watch a game."

"A really cool tiny little burger joint. We all had a burger, made to order right behind the bar. All burgers came with only onions and a pickle. We each had a bag of chips and a can of diet coke. Basic as it gets here. The old photos and newspaper articles on the walls were quaint. The bathrooms were tiny but did the job. They kids loved it and everyone was friendly and welcoming."
