Christina Stewart ***Update*** Not only were they quick to respond and fix the issue, the kindness was beyond comparison to any other company. That is the only reason we decided to return. We finally returned on Monday and the service and food was astounding. We got Oyster orleans, snaw crab claws in an Orleans sauce, shrimp and grits with a side of red beans, 2 red fish orleans with broccoli, 2 loaded potatoes, asparagus, and filet orleans with red beans and loaded mashed potatoes. The food was amazing. Hot, fresh, and quickly out to our table. Im very disappointed with our visit tonight. This was my fiances favorite restaurant so we chose this for his birthday dinner. We ordered appetizers and drinks as soon we got seated. After a 20 minute wait we got our drinks and ordered our food. A hour later the food came cold and no appetizer. It completely ruined his birthday. Very very disappointed.

Andrea F I do love a cute place with a theme that is serious. I had the Mr Darcy tea that had notes of cherry and dark chocolate, because I do love Mr Darcy! I had the Birmingham bake, which was eggs, cheese, bacon topped with cheese and bacon, a side of fruit and a croissant. The service was perfect, the prices were very reasonable. There are a few steps up, but there was a handicap lift on the side. I will definitely come back.

Molly M Mmmmm-the dudes at the bike shop recommended this place for a late lunch & they were spot on! Seafood gumbo, char oysters & raw oysters were true perfection! Large, fresh oysters that are worth the stop itself, then watching the staff shuck the oysters at the bar was the best entertainment! Great service from our server who took the time to talk to us about Busters. Lots of locals here-but they were friendly & willing to share the oysters.

Ive B The Chimes is hands down one of the best spots in Louisiana for good food and good vibes. The place has that rustic, laid-back feel that makes you instantly comfortable, and it’s super family-friendly, which I love. The food is amazing. The charbroiled oysters are a must have every time I visit. The gator is tender and so tasty. The catfish is always fresh and perfectly cooked, and the gumbo is rich and comforting, just like it should be. Don’t skip the boudin balls, and if crab fingers are in season, get them — you won’t regret it. What makes The Chimes really special is the atmosphere. It’s the kind of place you can bring your kids, meet up with friends, or just relax and enjoy a meal that feels like home. Big portions, friendly staff, and food that keeps you coming back — it’s a true gem in the South.

Kaitlyn Washington Mia was an absolute delight! My boyfriend and I were pleasantly pleased with the recommendations she gave us, from appetizers, to drinks, to desserts! Her vibe was so welcoming; we will definitely be back to see her and enjoy the oysters. Mia adds an amazing charm to the team at Don’s Covington.

Sinia Urreta Stopped here on our way from Mississippi to Florida in search of an authentic “Louisiana” meal and Copeland’s did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious and our waitress Alyssa created an incredibly welcoming experience with her warm friendly smile, southern charm and attentive professional service. Highly recommend! (Zoe also stopped by our table and she was lovely as well. Very impressed with all the staff!)

Sophia G My group had a great time here. I was feeling brave and decided to order the donut grilled cheese, and it was actually pretty good. No complaints! Our server was great as well. Felt like a classic diner experience and we loved it.

Drakkis Moonfang ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a great experience here! I was sitting in the dining room and my server, Kaile, was absolutely amazing. Even though I was dining alone, I never felt that way — she made me feel completely welcome. The GM, Ryan, even stopped by for a chat, and we ended up talking sports, which was a nice touch! I ordered the shrimp po’ boy for a quick lunch, and it totally impressed me — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I’ll definitely be back soon to try the cocktails when I’m not working!

Joanna Chase Great burger place. Had the Parm and bedding delicious. My friend had the Seville. Both enjoyed our meals. My friend had the side salad, large enough for a meal. Will return again

Red Goshen Had dinner on a recommendation. It did not disappoint. Started with Hush Puppies and the Crawfish Corn Soup, very flavorful Cajun ingredients. Then ordered my main course Redfish Ponchartrain, the portions were very generous and the Cajun flavors were amazing Che our server was prompt and very cordial, she possessed a bright smile and lively energy that made the experience unforgettable.

Edward Schmidt This place was outstanding. Everything from ribs to the veggies was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. Richard was an amazing server! He was friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive making for a wonderful dining experience! I truly look forward to my next visit!

Alexander Champagne Haven’t been in a decade and was quickly reminded how amazing this place was. Roast. Beef. Poboy. Fully dressed with fries. That is all you need to know. I had the second half of it this morning and I just had to go leave a review. Seating could be better, and a little bit of a wait. But absolutely worth it.
