The Standard Covington

"I used to love this place. Great food, fun vibe. Nice people. But we took our friends there for a nice dinner and we all ordered. The salmon salad was inedible. Our friend just ate a few bites and stopped. The burgers were ok but they completely forgot my order. I never got to eat. Then when I asked to take it off my bill the first response wasn’t I am sorry but “well let you take it home”. It wasn’t that good - not good enough to take home. I was so disappointed. What happened?!?!"

"Super cute garage-themed bar in downtown Covington. We didn’t try the food this time but the brunch menu looked good. Plenty of local beers on tap including Braxton. Easy walking from Main Strasse. There was live music going on outside, and the garage doors to the bar were open since it was nice out."

"As a person who spent 13 yrs in the restaurant business it's difficult to impress me with food and atmosphere. The Standard IS that restaurant. If you are familiar with the old Standard Oil service stations this place will feel familiar. The decor is amazing with old tires on a shelf above the bar; reminiscent of the old tire racks. The chandelier's are amazing. The food TOP NOTCH, a difficult food to make is an eggs Benedict and if you want to impress me then this is the meal, HOWEVER this is not your typical Eggs Benedict this one had brisket and WAS AMAZING, very juicy great flavor, eggs where poached to perfection. Also our group ordered French Toast which is WAY better then any chain breakfast restaurant. Chicken and Waffles BETTER then Taste of Belgium. Staff was friendly overall atmosphere amazing WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK"

"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 accommodating."
