Butlers Pantry

Nice sandwich shop 700 feet from the Northern Kentucky Convention Center. Decent Cuban Sandwich. A good alternative to the hotel restaurants next door.Service is self-serve, with pick-up at sandwich counter, though you're encouraged to tip at checkout.You can take your food out or enjoy it at a table.A good option next to the Convention Center, though there are several full service restaurants 3-6 blocks down the street from the Convention Center.

Good selection of drinks and snacks including gluten free options. As far as baked goods go (not gluten free), I was pumped to see multiple cookie options including apple butter, plain sugar, bourbon pecan, and iced oatmeal. Refreshing to see something beyond chocolate chip. Didn't order any prepared food or coffee, but really enjoyed the cookies and came back again before leaving town. Overall left a good impression!

Butler's pantry is a cute lil cafe in Covington- and it now restarted its BRUNCH! AND IT IS SO GOOD!They are handling covid guidelines well and the outdoor dining area is huge to accommodate social distancing well. We ordered Ricotta Pancakes, frittata, nashville chicken and waffles and biscuit french toast pudding. I can't recommend the chicken and waffles enough. The chicken was perfectly crispy... the chicken coating was so crunchy and spicy (almost like doritos)! The cornbread waffles was interesting. It didn't retain the shape as I ate (it crumbled) but it complemented the chicken really well. The frittata was really good- fluffy and well spiced. The biscuit french toast pudding was soooo goooood. It came warm in a skillet. The ricotta pancakes were novel because it was made with buckwheat flour. I liked it but it wasn't as fluffy as the traditional one.Totally recommend the brunch!

The restaurant was very empty. It reminded us more of a hotel diner restaurant than a free standing restaurant. ThE service was good and the fooD was good. It had a 50's diner vibe. The egg white omelette was good but it's hard to mess I an omelette. The avocado toast and salad was also good. Our friend got the eggs Benedict which was "different" as the waitress described it - no Hollandaise. And he got a Bloody Mary. He said that was okay. My mimosa with grapefruit juice was different as well. The prices were a bit high.

I'd love to have the opportunity to rate the food. However, on a Sunday afternoon at 2:30 PM (hours show closing time 3 PM), when I tried to enter, I was informed the restaurant was "closing early".If you can't manage to do business during your posted hours, you shouldn't be doing business, especially in Sunday when most everything close by is closed. I won't be back.

Updating my review with more photos as I have loved visiting this spot since moving to Covington. I love that I can come in here to get a quick bite to eat + access to an assortment of grocery items. The staff is so friendly. I also love the food at the cafe on the other side. I tried the lettuce wraps recently which were amazing!

We stopped here mid morning as I was looking for coffee. Turns out there is both a cafe and a marketplace. The cafe has a small menu with a variety of options.We ordered the lettuce wraps and a turkey club. The club was nicely toasted and the fries had parsley on them. It was a nice treat, however it was not "true" club it was still very good.The lettuce wrap was well cooked and had good flavors. The peanut sauce was a little thick but a nice addition to the wrap. They were a little messy, so make sure you have a fork and napkin handy. We also did get a coffee from the marketplace portion of the pantry and it was well made. They also had some small sweets which were a nice treat at the end of a meal. The coffee was a little expensive e ($7 for an iced latte)but it was well made.Overall a really great experience and the bartender taking our order was really kind and personable.We would come here again!

I've been following this place on Instagram for a while and almost every single post makes my mouth water. I'm generally not the type of person to watch food pictures or advertisements and get hungry but something about how well done their menu items are designed really pulls me in. I decided to go after a friend of mine was in town and wanted to grab lunch. I was not disappointed. This place is a really interesting concept, almost like a food hall where there's different stations that each have categories of food items but it's all under the same name. Also they have a sit down restaurant which I guess is a little bit fancier and has a whole separate menu.I wish they had more photos of items on their menu in store but I just went back to the Instagram and look at some of the items that I loved and ordered based on that. They allow you to customize almost anything and pretty much all of the ingredients are fresh and a lot of them are local. My "Almost Famous Chicken Salad" wrap on the spinach wrap was delicious. High-quality, fresh, and well seasoned. We also tried a few of the non-bake vegan cookie items and they were great! Pretty much all the desserts and baked goods look life-changing so I will definitely be going back. Anyone who likes food porn or just to eat well should check this place out and follow their Instagram.Also overall their prices were very reasonable. For how good their food looks I would say it's a bargain pricing.

service was fine if anything excellent.the food was miniscule at best for the amount I was paying. I had an Italian sandwich and the meal was on a small ciabatta bun!not worth my money. The surroundings was busy and unorganized I couldn't believe it. No pictures for the menu, blank and lifeless font. Good service however. Truly goes to show you, you can literally have the worse things ever but they can be glossed by the fact of good people

I work in the Tower of River Center and visit the Butler's Pantry almost daily. Brian, David, Renee, Aurora, Austin and others are THE BEST!!! The breakfast, lunch, and pastries are all delicious! They are so helpful and friendly! I give the staff and food 5 Stars!!!!
