The Greyhound

My hubby and I visited The Greyhound restaurant last night for the first time and I can tell you it won't be our last. We felt welcomed and special from the moment we entered the door and were seated. I liked the bench and chair arrangement in addition to typical table and chairs. They also had some tables with upholstered barrel chairs. The place used to be the old Greyhound bus station, hence the name, and has a pleasant modern artsy vibe to its attractive ambiance. We planned our arrival during happy hour (5-7pm Tuesday-Wed and 3-6 on Th-Sat). We do love a bargain so half price beer, wine, & wood fired pizzas was quite the draw, plus their signature drinks are 30% off. From the moment we were greeted at the door to the moment we left, we realized the exceptional service and attention to our needs was what set this establishment apart from any other in recent memory.The incredibly nice and personable mgr, Jack, went out of his way to make sure that our first visit to the restaurant was definitely memorable. When he saw we were using our watches and the candle on the table to lite the menu he gifted us each with bright little Greyhound key chain flashlights, totally unexpected and appreciated by our senior eyes!The menu and food did not disappoint. We ordered the Chicken Florentine -Quattro Formaggi pizza (wood oven roasted chicken, garlic spinach, Gorgonzola, mozzarella, feta, and Parmesan), & it was delicious. Loved that wood fired crispy crust and mix of cheeses! I know we'll be running to The Greyhound vs any home delivery the next time we are craving a pizza! Their drink list and menu is uniquely varied and my husband liked the beer offerings organized by country. Even though it was steak night for the special, we were in a German mood so the Pork Wienerschnitzel with buttered Spatzle and grainy mustard cream sauce, hit the mark! Being a chilly night we also added a bowl of their onion soup which was a generous portion, with a ton of three different cheeses! Before any of our food came we asked our very sweet attentive server, Julianne, if we could possibly get some bread to go with our wine while we waited on our food. She explained that they just have their pizza dough bread that we could order, however since we were already getting a pizza we said we'd pass and just wait. But she obviously mentioned this to the mgr and just a few minutes later Jack brings out a bowl of piping hot house cut french fries with curry mayo, chili mayo, and garlic sauce dips for us... on the house he said! WOW! Soooo good! As we were enjoying those starter fries our delicious entrées came which we split half & half and still had enough pizza left to bring home. Our intuitive server Julianne, checked in at just the right moments, ensuring we had everything we needed all evening. And Jack was not yet done with their hospitality, as he had one more pleasant surprise for us before we left.... a delicious cup of complimentary hot cocoa with chocolate shavings and a huge dollop of whipped cream...could it get any better?! Yes it could! As we told him what an absolutely wonderful night we had enjoyed, from the food to the service, he closed saying the first drink was on him on our next visit! Frankly, I can't wait to return to see our new found friends and work our way through the unique and varied menu! There are so many dishes we want to try! I can't say enough great things about our evening! It's the next day and I'm still thinking about it and planning our next night out!

I have been to the Greyhound many times, and I always enjoy it. This time, I ate a whole cheese pizza in one sitting, not kidding. I was definitely hungry, but it was also just that good. Our cocktails were also delicious. The service was awesome, and the atmosphere was full of good energy. I loved the candles they had set up all around the bar we were sitting by. I hope to be back soon!

My wife and I lunched at the Greyhound, which is one of our favorite lunch spots in Covington. Savanah took good care of us and we once again enjoyed the excellent service and relaxed, but contemporary and somewhat trendy, charm of the surroundings. Excellent service and I really like the way they leave a bottle of chilled water and ice filled glasses at your table. Nice touch! I had the kale Caesar salad and it was excellent. Normally, I not much of a kale fan, but the dressing makes this a primo offering. We shared a fennel sausage pizza and it was great; light thin crust with just the right amount of cheese. The Greyhound is highly recommended.

Service - 5Ambience - Lunch 5 / Dinner 3 Food - 4 Drinks - 4 Cute lunch spot that I found on Yelp. The server was fantastic, sadly I don't remember his name but he's been there since inception. I gave the ambience a 5 for lunch and a 3 for dinner. perfect setting for lunch but would be a little too casual for dinner IMOWe started with the feta and meatballs. The feta was fantastic with a good balance of olives, capers and tomatoes. The meatballs were just ok but the palenta was a good balance. We then had the burger, wedge salad and the oyster sandwich. For cocktails we had the daiquiri, brut and the greyhound - All were tasty The service stood out more than anything as the server was knowledgeable and attentive. The food wasn't bad but the wedge salad and burger were smaller than expected for the price. If in the area I'd definitely come back but my recommendation would be to knock the price of the wedge salad to no more than $10 as the size is that of a half salad and add fries to come with the burger

This was my first time to the Greyhound and I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was out of this world! Both my sister and I got pizzas and we both agreed. We also had the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer. So good!Our waitress was super friendly and accommodating to our vegetarian diets. My sister ordered a pizza that usually comes with chicken on it but they subbed artichoke hearts instead. The restaurant had a great vibe and was quite quiet. We loved that because we could actually hear each other whereas in some other local restaurants you have to either lean in or talk super loud to hear one another.Will definitely be back in the future!

Great ambience and drinks. The bartender, Nancy, is amazing and accommodating. Eclectic food and great service!

Back for more. Great food and service Wow! Love this place. Love the beer selection and cocktails

Fun spot in downtown Covington. Nice atmosphere for a weeknight. Service was great. Solid menu too!

Matzo ball soup and it was great! Relatively quick service considering the place was packed. It's in an old garage with a lively atmosphere. Has concrete floors, and there were definitely cars getting repaired here in the "old days." Wiener schnitzel & spatzele was marvelous and my wife had shrimp curry which was also excellent. Reasonably priced. We'll be back

First visit, first homerun! This is an amazing place. The interior is large but broken up into areas that create different moods. Casual bar scene. Small tables clustered in front. A large seating are in the back for any size group. The lighting is soft and relaxing. The staff is spot-on. Just enough coverage without intruding on your personal space. They know the menu and made several perfect suggestions. We each wanted a twist to each item: medium rare instead of medium, extra dressing on the side, etc. and each request was there. No mistakes. We got a great visit from the manager. Just perfect. He is the real deal. Passionate about his operation and fun to talk to. The food: amazing! The most eclectic menu you can imagine. Our group was all over the world. Curry shrimp: perfect spice blend with a hint of pepper after. The shrimp were fresh and medium (right size) and plentiful. The French onion soup! A hint of a Paris bistro with Gruyère cheese dripping down the side of the bowl! Yum! And a classic 5star cheeseburger! A perfect classic thst tasted soooo good. And a pile of fresh cut fries that were piping hot! Nested next to this huge burger. We ended with a true-to-Brit stickey toffee pudding dessert. It was warm enough to melt the ice cream a bit, but not enough to break down the fresh whipped cream! It was totally delicious. Three of us shared this and we were stuffed. And the wine/beer list: the best that you can imagine. A world class Cab from Pasa Robles! And an Optimator fresh from Germany. What a range!The service team worked like a well oiled machine. Cleared on time. Got dishes out in the right order. And helped us get done to get to our Christmas concert on time. We are looking forward to the next visit!
