Reviews For The Greyhound

Hey y’all I don’t know anyone there. But I been a few times, and every time they are on point. The food is pretty good, y’all you can get European food, Mediterranean food, Arab food and US food. All very well done. Y’all I don’t care much for creme egg dessert but they add real whip cream and some diced up strawberry. Game changer. I usually stick with the key lime. Now I just don’t know. They even do a proper pizza in a wood fired oven. The drinks are on point. Think of it like a Vienna or French cafe with good food. Plenty of parking across the side street and in front. They have comfortable chairs in the middle. And the bar is cool. It is one of the few places I go. Oh their wedge salad is the best one I have had. I don’t even like blue cheese and they nailed it. I like that they have a small normal menu. I hope this helps y’all have a good day.

First time at the The Greyhound, we were passing through Covington around dinnertime, looking at restaurants in the area. The menu offered a wide variety of options, so we decided to give it a go. Everything was delicious! The service was amazing. The manager? checked on us a couple times asking how was everything and if he could get us anything. We got the Deconstructed Sicilian Stuffed Artichoke for starters. For Entrees, Me and my son got the Italian pizza, my husband got the Doner Kebab. Everything was so delicious!!! We'll be back! Oh, the cocktails were excellent too!

Incredible owners & amazing staff. Everything is ALWAYS on point. From the appetizers, to entrees, to desserts, to drinks! Every dish is an absolute hit. Late night eats and drinks were needed in Downtown Cov and it’s perfectly achieved with the top-notch quality food and chic, cozy atmosphere! As you can see, I’ve tried *almost* everything on the menu and I’ve loved it all. 10000/10!

If you haven’t made it to The Greyhound yet, stop what you’re doing and make a reservation asap. I’m so upset with myself for not experiencing the Greyhound sooner. Everything was delicious, service was fantastic and as a Celiac (person w a severe gluten allergy) they were beyond helpful extremely knowledgeable in helping me find safe items to eat. It FELT like a European atmosphere and the menu is phenomenal. I mean LOOK at this beer list! This place is a gem in Covington that I highly recommend.

Visited on a Thursday night. Server was attentive and personable. Pisco sour was excellent. Had the Rueben sandwich and housecut fries. I am a fry lover. The trio of dipping sauces for the fries were phenomenal. The pastrami on the Rueben was great. I deconstruct my sandwiches, and even so, it was wonderful. The cheese was melty and the mustard was not overpowering. My husband had the fish and chips. While he didn't rave about it, it looked good and the fish fell apart while he was eating. Needless to say, his plate was empty when we got up to leave. I wish we would have had more time. I usually do not get dessert, but I would have here. The dark chocolate cake that I can't pronounce.....

I was at Greyhound for a private function and all of the food was phenomenal! Those risotto ball were so addictive! Espresso martini was top notch as well.
