The Chimes Covington

Chimes is a cool place to hang out with or without kids. The staff is friendly and very much "on it."The bar area is a great section to watch the latest sports or just have drinks with friends.As for food, there is something for everyone. The crab and brie soup is my favorite, along with the crawfish mac and cheese. I've had many menu items and nothing has disappointed.

We really enjoyed our dinner at the Chimes and had excellent service. Everything was good, but the Crab and Brie soup was definitely the highlight! The seafood lasagna was also REALLY devine.We are not local, but we will make sure to visit the Chimes again when we are in Covington.

Revisited The Chimes in Covington with family, after being away for awhile, and found it to be the great local eatery we remembered. Enjoyed some good craft beers, charbroiled and raw oyster appetizers, and tasty catfish and bacon wrapped shrimp jambalaya. All were excellent. We ate out on the deck in back and had a wonderful time. Our server, Javier, was a high point. His efficiency and welcoming demeanor made the evening special. The Chimes is highly recommended!

I recently visited The Chimes in Covington, Louisiana, and found the experience to be a mixed bag. The food was pretty good but left something to be desired. The ambience, however, was electrifying with football games playing in the background and music adding to the lively atmosphere.Unfortunately, the drinks were subpar and very overpriced. They lacked both presentation and flavor, and didn't have enough alcohol to justify the cost. The oysters, while tasty, were quite simple--just parmesan cheese, garlic, and butter--and priced at $26, they didn't offer anything particularly exciting.Our server was nice and friendly, trying to be as accommodating as possible. However, she seemed to lack engagement when attending to the needs of our table.Overall, the food was okay but not anything special. The Chimes seems like a great place for a sports bar experience but falls short when trying to blend fine dining with a sports bar vibe.

I can't fathom why the Yelp ratings don't align with my experience because, frankly, I had a fantastic time. I didn't even make it to the entrées, and that's saying something. My colleague here in Covington introduced me to this gem, and I was thoroughly impressed.The restaurant spans multiple levels, offering splendid views of the nearby lake where you can paddleboard and kayak--an ideal setting for family outings and fun activities. We stuck to the starters, and they were nothing short of amazing. The boudin was perfect, the gumbo hit all the right notes, and the spinach and artichoke dip was downright addictive. Their beer selection is extensive, catering to all tastes.In short, the location, the food, and the servers were all top-notch. This place is a cut above the rest.

The absolute best place for spinach dip! It is amazing!! Also great ambiance! Will always be back here!

Seated quickly. Nice large seating areas inside and outside. Good beer selection on tap. Service was excellent and food was good too. Very convenient stop after a visit to the nearby Abita Brewery bride returning to New Orleans.

Excellent burger. First time there but will definitely be back. Very nice staff. Loved the change of scenery.

Real big place with goats and a boardwalk in the back!The food was pretty good we got nachos and bar food and thoroughly enjoyed. Seafood was good too. It's about what you would expect.Mostly great drink options and fun place to bring a family or big group since it was so large. Kayak rentals in back.

Despite being VERY busy, the wait staff was attentive and friendly. The onion rings are awesome and the stuffed mushrooms and shrimp po-boy were delicious! Would definitely recommend and will come back!
