The Chimes-Covington

My new favorite place! Cody was our server and he is amazing! Always had our drinks filled, brought us anything we wanted fast with a laid back personality. The atmosphere should have 10 star rating! It’s a huge beautiful restaurant! I had the boudin balls with sauce that’s an awesome horseradish flavor. The spinach and artichoke dip is phenomenal! Perfectly cooked bow tie pasta deep fried for dipping. And this place has the BEST burger I’ve ever had! It’s the Steak Burger. It is so tender and delicious! It’s the only burger they can put a temp on to cook to order and mine was perfectly medium. Our best friend ordered two of the upside down pineapple drinks. The fries are nice and crispy and good dipped in the horseradish sauce. I added pictures of outside and the food, but my pics won’t do this place justice!

Went to The Chimes in Covington for the first time last night to celebrate my birthday. I really liked the atmosphere of this place. Very layed back. Family friendly with added bonuses on the property. We had a party of 4 and was seated immediately. Our server was really great. He put in our drink and appetizer order. Our every need was meet during dinner. Things came out in courses which I really like. The food was fantastic and so were the mixed drinks. After dinner however was the fun part. In the back of the  restaurant they have 2 cute friendly goats and a walk way that leads you to the river. The have places to sit down to enjoy the view and you can also rent kayaks and paddle boards. On the way back they also had a place where you can play corn husk toss or horseshoes. They even have string lights to light the area up at night. This restaurant was so cool and was like a day resort. I will be back to The Chimes because this place is the total package!

The food at the Chimes was very good. In our party we ate the boudin balls, bbq shrimp, boat load seafood platter and a burger. Everyone enjoyed their food. The menu has a good selection of seafood and non-seafood options. Being a Cajun living in Texas the last twenty years it was good to eat some really good seafood that is seasoned to perfection. Definitely would recommend the Chimes and hope to stop the next time we are visiting family nearby.

Disappointing service at the bar. We were greeted as we sat down and received our waters. It took a very long time before some asked for our order. This was mainly due to two of the bar staff being too busy on their phones instead of attending to us. After several minutes, and I do mean several minutes, we were finally able to place an order of the house club salad and burger with fries, which we shared. The runner brought the food out and passed us by trying to give our food to someone else. We had to flag him down to let him know it was our food. All during our entire experience, not one of the staff asked how was the food, how were we doing or if we needed anything else. We had to get someone's attention to get our check. Although the food was fabulous, kudos to the chef, the service was disappointing (sub-par). Oh, and the women's bathroom didn't have toilet paper in one of the stalls. So, remember to always keep tissue in your purse, ladies.

The Chimes never disappoints! I ordered the Alfredo Pasta with Blackened Chicken. I went in pretty late to pick it up and found it still piping hot when I got back to my hotel room. Y’all. When I tell you that I licked my fingers CLEAN when I finished?!? Definitely a go to spot if you’ve never been. The brand as a whole does a phenomenal job, no matter the location. They’re awesome in Covington and in Baton Rouge. 5 stars! Nicely done!
