The Standard

Great lunch in Covington on Friday fast service & food served hot from the kitchen. Delicious seasoned fries & sauce. Good sandwich but was a lot to eat.What a creative reuse of old service station into bar/restaurant in Covington

I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was here. We got burgers and they were both great. I loved the seasoned fries - very crispy and came out hot. The concept of the place is cool - it's in an old garage/tire shop. They gave both indoor and outdoor seating, with lots of fun lawn games outside to play. Service was great. Can't wait to go back!

We will definitely be back. Went on a Saturday morning around 10:30 and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The wait staff was super friendly and the food was truly outstanding and well-portioned. Really cool spot with games and an awesome, unique vibe.

I've had some great evenings at The Standard involving dancing and Bourbon slushes and I'm looking forward to more of those. What I'm here to report now is that The Standard has one of the best happy hours going. It runs from 4-6 weeknights and ALL DAY Thursday. All the drinks but two are $5 and all the snacks are half off. I had a delicious Blackberry Mule and my husband ordered the Standard Old Fashioned. I totally recommend the Bourbon Slush, too, but a freshly made batch wasn't yet fully ready when we arrived. We each had an order of sliders (the three sliders easily equal a full-size burger and they are GOOD!) from the snacks menu and split very generous orders of fries and onion rings between us. Made for a fun and reasonable night out. Bonus -- doggies are welcome outside.

Omg! Freaking amazing food. What a great find. They have some of the best chili I've had. It's so thick and full of brisket and pulled pork you can hardly put a spoon in it. In a area famous for Skyline chili thief version rocks.I also had the salmon burger which was equally as awesome. And a welcome surprise was the potato salad which was full of flavorLoved the atmosphere as well as the fact that it was still left as a garage

I was debating between 4 and 5 stars. I decided to go 5 based on it being a really cool local space with just fantastic service. We had 10 people show up for our 8 person brunch reservation and they were like, "no problem, we've got you in the party room". Our waiter was great and was on the spot with everything. The food was solid. Our table got some of everything. My wife's burger was kind of oddly small, but it tasted great. Everyone was very happy with their drinks and their food. They also have just a cool vibe to the place. You can tell it was a gas station, but they made it look so cool. I'm glad we finally got to try The Standard and I'll be happy to go back.

This was absolutely the tale of Jekyll and Hyde, but Jecyll kicked so much ass that I really don't care that Hyde wasn't very good.So the bad: I had the deviled eggs with Grippos potato chips crumbled over it, and they were not very good. The mix for the filling was just not a good one and clashed badly with the chips. I also had the chili. It too was not very good. It was almost as if it were trying to be sweet, chili and it absolutely shouldn't have been because it was a waste of decent shredded beef that was actually pretty tasty and very tender. Finally, I had the old fashioned, and it was just not good. They used a good base bourbon (not a rye) that should have been perfect for a sweeter old fashioned, but the bitters and sugary elements together just didn't work.Now for the good: The burger was AMAZING. It is a simple double smash burger with American cheese and thousand island dressing, but it was easily the closest thing to an In 'n Out burger this side of the east cost. It was perfect in every way. And like In 'n Out, I would go there just to order the burger (or two) and just forgoe everything else on the menu.I can say that I will absolutely be back again just to get another burger, even if I get nothing else with it. And I can also say that I would highly recommend the burger to anyone else without hesitation.

The Standard is a cute lil place that's perfect for an outdoor meal with friends. The building and door is vibrant and full of color which is a stark contrast to the bridge and train tracks directly above. My wife and I stopped by this place for the first time with a couple friends. Everyone got burgers except over of us they got a salad. The burgers were all really good if not great. The side dishes were all great. The salad however was a bit of a mixed bag though. The flavor was great and everything was fresh but the chicken did not look appetizing at all. It was pale and looked undercooked. Maybe it's supposed to look that way? The service was great and the whole crew working seemed friendly.

The food was amazing. The salmon was cooked perfectly on my salad. My boyfriend got the Chicken Parmesan which was also so flavorful from the bread to the chicken. The frozen pina colada tasted like it had fresh coconut chunks in it! :) The Standard is such a cute establishment. Service was phenomenal, can't wait to go back!

Outstanding food and atmosphere. We had the Jalapeño Crab Dip, Korean bbq sandwich, Blackened Salmon salad, and chicken nuggets. Everything was freshly prepared, had great sauces, and phenomenal flavor. And came out very quickly. A plus for me!Great atmosphere. There's games for the kids and adults. It's also just a cool building to walk around in and take in the art and architecture. There's even a small parking lot. Super fun, fantastic food, great service!
