Bourbon Street Bar & Grill

We're 4 old farts traveling cross country in a van. We stayed at the Holiday Inn in Covington, TX. This is the restaurant in the hotel. When I saw the happy hour menu I was sorry we went to Chimes. We had a few wine and beers and drooled over the smells from the kitchen. The place was not crowded and we enjoyed the fast service. Just wish our old bellies could have tried the food. Posted because the prices were the lowest we have encountered. Let me know how the food is, so I know what we missed.

The food is ok. The service is terrible, but I don't blame the staff since it's due to being SEVERELY understaffed. We have waited almost an hour and a half (still sitting here waiting) for breakfast. There was one staff member both taking orders and cooking. The front desk attendant eventually had to come assist, but service is still extremely slow. Two tables who arrived after us have gotten their food and left, and there are currently 20+ people waiting on their food. If we hadn't pre-paid for breakfast, we'd have left already.

The "free breakfast" isn't free and it's nasty. The eggs were bland, biscuits hard as a rock, bacon so crisp when you broke it in half it turned to dust. We also ordered brownies for after dinner dessert that evening and they were only ok.

So we were staying at the Holiday Inn Express and had plans to go to a nearby restaurant that had great reviews. After a phone call and news that we would have a 45 minute wait, we decided to have dinner at the motel restaurant. We were so happy we did! Our waiter/bartender, Mike, was 100%! He was so friendly and personable and he took great care of us. Between the four of us, we had the fish and chips, quesidillas (chicken & steak), spinach dip, chicken wings and shrimp tacos, plus drinks. Everything was delicious. We were truly pleasantly surprised. We were happy with our room and the restaurant. We would definitely return to both should we visit Covington again.

Love having breakfast here!! Great prices for the quality of food! I've also had drinks and appetizers during their dinner hours! Bartender was pleasant and the price tag didn't scare me.

Bree was a great host & bartender, Everyone was happy and the food was great! Had the okra, sweet potato fries, and broccoli

Do not attempt to eat breakfast here. Purchased two rooms and paid extra for breakfast. $47.50 extra per room for breakfast for a total of $95 for breakfast for eight people. We have six kids and a husband and wife, and when we went down to for breakfast, We arrived to the restaurant at 6:50 and it opened at 7 AM. At about 7:03 the waitress came and took our orders . We were the first people to give our orders. Other people started coming in and other people started getting served their food. We waited until 7:40 AM and we were never brought our food. Other people had gotten their food and finished eating and we had not even received any of ours. I think it's sad that they would treat large families as second-class citizens compared to smaller parties. When we went to the front desk to request a refund for the breakfast that we had already paid for we were told that our room did not include breakfast. We knew this was false because we have the information in an email that says our room includes breakfast. We had to leave so we left and called the 800 number for Holiday Inn to request our refund that we knew we deserved. We rechecked our email which did confirm that the rooms did include breakfast. When we spoke to the representative on the 800 number they also confirmed that our room included breakfast for the $47.50 extra per room. The representative on the 800 number informed us that they were not able to give us refund that they had to put in a case for the hotel to contact us within 48 hours to let us know whether we would receive our refund or not. Update: the hotel staff called me within 2 hours and said they are refunding me $111 so that is nice but I still do not recommend this restaurant.

The waitress is so attentive and the food is awesome, definitely love the vibe. I will return

Good service and food! They always have specials mon-fri with great option prices and portions
