One if the best waffle houses I have visited. Quick service and decent food. Friendly staff and they have music. Fresh coffee topped off the night.

This Waffle House is consistent with other locations. The food is simple, quick, and delicious. It’s not very healthy but it is very satisfying. I would recommend trying Waffle House if you haven’t already.

Absolutely horrible experience. We walked in around 230am and it was packed, which is to be expected at this time of night. The service was terrible. We walked up to the «to go counter» and were told they were no longer taking to go orders even though the man in front of us had just ordered a to go order. The lady continued to rant and cuss out my friends as they tried to understand why they couldn’t order to go when the man in front of us just did. We ended up leaving because the lady at the counter continued to be disrespectful and we refused to be treated that way.

You can get an entire breakfast (eggs, bacon, toast, waffles, and hash browns) for, like, $ 8. Sure, you probably have to sit under a spiderweb and there’s probably a hungover guy in the corner sleeping in his palms and drooling on the table, but the staff are friendly and keep your coffee filled the entire time and make sure you have everything within a reasonable time frame. I eat at lightning speed, so getting in and out is not a problem. If Waffle House spent some money actually making their dining room pleasant, this would be a weekend staple.
If for some reason you didn’t read this incredibly short review: food is good and cheap, building is disgusting, staff are pleasant.

Waitress was nice. But, this establishment isn’t clean. It seemed to be stuck in the 1950s…

The best one in town. I drive past two to come to this one. They know what they’re doing! Yum!

I know I shouldn’t expect much, but how in the fuck are you going to get one order wrong, then REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME WRONG ORDER. Holy shit, my friends are alcoholics and have THE WORST taste in drunk food.

How do you run out of cheese. I love Waffle House. I have been to many. This is the most filthiest one I have ever been to. Hence the picture. The food is fine as all the others.

The only reason this gets a 2 is because the food was up to par with all other waffle houses. Definitely not the cleanliest place. I witnessed a waitress pick up a container of butter which fell on the filthy floor and placed it back on a plate. No changing of gloves either!
There were 4 waitress for what seemed to be 10 tables and they couldn’t handle. Lack of leadership on the line they all seemed to hate each other too! One of the worst waffle houses ever!

The dirtiest Waffle House I have ever seen. Literally dirt on top of dirt. Syrup everywhere and the food was crappy. I was gonna say the food was decent but the hair in my waffle made me change my mind.

I will give this place a fair review.
Pro: nice people
Nice environment.
Comfortable place to eat
Cons: not very fast
Ok food.
Sketchy area.
I loved my meal and will go back. But it’s Waffle House what do you expect. Anyrate, I think you should eat at least once at Waffle House.

I Love Waffles. I love Waffle House. I have visited Waffle Houses that were a little shabby, a little worn, or a little dirty. This location is all three and more.
This particular Waffle House location is a bane upon the overall franchise. The floors are filthy. I observed the same rags being used on counter tops and tables over and over without cleaning products or washing. The window sills are covered in a film of dust and dead insects.
The «management» seems to value screaming, the food arrived cold, the bacon was soggy, the syrup was cold. The waitstaff were not happy people.
I really wish someone would buy the location and put ANYTHING else that serves breakfast food in the same spot.

Normal Waffle House with great staff, but the manager on duty was a complete a-​hole. Proceeded to verbally abuse his employees right in front of us with the most condescending and derogatory language. We were enraged how unprofessional he was. The staff took it well but he was a complete douche. He was a super fat, middle aged man with greeting short hair. If you go and he’s there, leave.

Sat at the counter both times I ate here during a recent trip to Cincy. I don’t recommend it. You see them cook your food, the lack of hand washing, and how long your food is done before they bring it out to you. Still, better than the White Castle across the street in a pinch at 2AM.

Though the place mat is usually sticky and you will more often than not find a surprise or two on your table, there’s something about this Waffle House that keeps us coming back. The food, such as my favorite: a waffle with chocolate chips, is consistently tasty and the toast served with the all-​star special is always deliciously gooey. There are a few standout workers that really make you feel welcome. A waitress apologized profusely when our food took a couple minutes longer than usual and even docked some of the bill.

I recommend coming here at least no earlier than 2AM.
Yeah the menus are sticky, yeah the place is often full of shady characters, but the food is actually great for your post bar, late night cravings. The workers really hustle behind the counter and most are actually friendly, which is better than I would be if I had to deal with tables of half drunk people all night. On weekends there is usually a cop or two to keep the peace, but really, as long as people are being fed, there’s nothing to worry about. I love people watching here and overhearing the conversations. Its incredible. Be careful in the parking lot as it can be cramped and (unfortunately) full of buzzed drivers.
Tip well here as the food is cheap and the workers bust their butts serving up stomach filling food. I like the pancakes with chocolate chips, but there are many more things on the menu that will satisfy.
There is a fancy jukebox that can turn the area near the bathrooms into a dancefloor, so bring your money, cuz the party don’t stop!

To be honest, this place is kinda gross. The whole place just feels dirty. Yet, there is something about a Waffle House that I can’t resist. It may be the normal (not belgian) waffles, it may be the greasy everything or it may even be the spotty service. Whatever it is, I’m a fan.
I almost always get the waffle, 2 eggs over easy, bacon, hash browns and toast. At only 6 or 7 bucks it is a great breakfast value. I’m not going to say it is the best food, but it fills a gap in my life nothing else seems to fill.
Sure, you can do better, but at three in the morning and a bit tipsy, the Waffle House is very hard to beat.
Pro Tip: Use the restroom before you arrive. You do not want to go in there!

I’ve always found Waffle Houses to be remarkably consistent no matter which one you go to. A greasy spoon is a greasy spoon.
The Covington Waffle House is no different. Generally friendly waitresses take care of you and the food is typically quick to order. Prices are quite low so be sure to tip generously.
The restaurant is still smoking as of ¹⁄₁₁ and that’s a huge turn off. Sometimes you’ll go in and barely notice. Other times it’s a fog. Your mileage and tolerance will vary, but the quicker NKY moves to no smoking, the better.
Waffle House attracts all walks of life and socio-​economic demographics. Always interesting characters are coming in and out, and for me, it’s a part of the charm. My favorite is Phil. He’s a regular and his standard meal is roughly 5 pounds of bacon.
Typically, I do weekend breakfasts, but WH is great for super late dining. Go during «off hours» and you’ll practically have the place to your self.
You know what you get with a Waffle House. Quick, cheap and smokey. If that’s your jam, Covington Waffle House has you covered.

Another recommendation from my co-​worker brought us to the Waffle House for breakfast.
Ed L and I ordered the All Star Breakfast Special which includes your choice between the signature waffle or biscuits smothered in gravy, two eggs cooked to order, 3 strips of bacon or 2 sausage patties, grits or hash browns, white toast and jelly and a cup of coffee or a glass of juice for around 6 bucks each.
All of the foods were super greasy. The bacon was fried up crispy hard, but the cut of pork had very little meat to eat. The hash browns were brown in color but lacked the golden crispiness I’m used to. My eggs ordered over medium was flavorless but a dash of Señora Jackie’s Casa de Waffle Picante Sauce and a dollop of ketchup picked it right up.
I did like the waffle which came with a lowfat soybean spread instead of butter. The outside had a light crispiness to eat and the inside was airy and just chewy enough to make it interesting. They’ll bring you warm syrup if you request it too.
Our server, Ann, was excellent during a busy morning.
