This was our second time at Benchwarmers, ( me, my fiance, and my soon to be mother in law. So we seated ourselves and the waitress came over and took our drink order. Dont think she ever told us her name. So when we ordered our food my soon to be mother in law ordered a drink, the food came and everyones food was okay except mine. I ordered the fish and chips, the fish was over cooked and greasy. One piece was burnt. Took 3 attempts to get the waitress to the table. Once we got our check I informed the waitress that the drink that was ordered never made it to the table and she really didnt care that the fish was burnt and over cooked. There was 2 bartenders and one was on her phone texting the whole time we were there!
Walked in wanting to watch the baseball game…all booths close to bar disgustingly dirty and no one ever came to see if we needed help or anything waited and waited! One of the workers was sitting at the bar drinking! Disgusting! Was trying to give them another chance but we will NEVER be back!
Kinda looking for somewhere to chill and enjoy after a long drive... the georgia mule was refreshing, the wait times between ordering and food being delivered, to waitress coming back was long. Dont get the mojito, yuck. Took 15 minutes to get a budlight... food was ok. Hangover burger was delicious. Lemon drop shot to conclude was ok... overall ok.
While the wings were great, the fries were not (tasted old, maybe old grease), as you can see for yourself, this was our 1st time eating here, the service was not great (the waitress) and they were not busy...
Went here to have Shirley temples with my daughter on New Years Eve and the staff was absolutely amazing super sweet girl at the bar my daughter and I just moved back he to GA and I think we will make this a tradition
Very racist establishment waited over 2 hours for wings and was never served and when asked we were completely ignored wouldnt recommend going back
You can sit wherever you like, the food is excellent and the prices are reasonable.
We went there for a lunch date with my hubby.. the service was very quick and we had time to cut chat before my hubby had to go back to work! The food is always delicious and the atmosphere is great!
I really enjoyed this place when i first moved over this way. As of late, things have definitely changed. Last night, my friend and i sat for close to 10 minutes before having to get up to request a server. When she finally came over, service was extremely slow, my order for WINGS was wrong, Sauce type and all. They claimed they’d fix it and never did, then proceeded to Ask if we wanted anything else because the kitchen was closing.I like the place because it’s convenient but this is just unacceptable and unfortunate.
The wings are bland and disappointing for the price imo. The SW Eggrolls were ok. I had a to go order but the bartender was kind. Maybe they have great beer selections and cocktails because there is always an crowd. But the wings aint it. They barely put sauce on them and they are huge wings.
Met a friend after work on a Thursday. Brooke was our bartender, she did just fine. Interacting with customers and making sure you never sat with an empty glass. Shift change at six and a new gal shows up. Says hey everyone as she looked at her phone. She barely looked up from her phone and after 30 minutes of checking her phone, we gave up and left. I wouldve liked another beer, but she never made eye contact, never introduced herself, and definitely didnt ask if I wanted another beer.... her response when a coworker asked her a question was ugh! I just got here. But this was 20 min into her shift? If I were the owner I would implement a no cell phone or no cell phone on self policy. She cost another beer sell, plus a tip for herself.Now for the food. We got the Bavarian pretzel, comes with queso and spicy brown mustard. 8 out of 10 - dial it back on the salt just a pinch. Chips and salsa- closest comparison would be chilis- thin crispy chips and a step up from Tostitos salsa. 8 out of 10. Pickle chips, perfect. 10 out of 10. Egg rolls, these were very yummy, nice crunch and packed with flavor. 9 of 10. All beers tried were from the tap and were cold and delicious.
I had to wait al.ost an hour for a. Customers order that was supposed to have been ready for pick up. I wasnt the only one having to wait. I could see many people getting upset over the food and service
The only sober people in there were one server and the bartender. Another server and a cook were heavily intoxicated while working. The fries were soggy and the wings were small and lacking in sauce. We waited nearly til our meal was completely done for any sort of refill or refreshment. Wouldve rather went to wingstop and not seen the game entirely.
So we decided to go try Bench Warmers this past Sunday and they didnt disappoint.The food is amazing and the service is phenomenal!Our server Chris was likeChick-Fil-A standards.Chris was very patient bc I always have a hard time picking what I want to eat. He recommended the Salmon BLT and he was so RIGHT!It was absolutely delicious! Chris had a great smile, very friendly, and made our experience even better.If youre a local or just passing through Covington make sure you stop here and ask to be seated in Chris section!Great job Bench Warmers!
Our fries tasted like they were cooked in old old used oil. Our burgers we burnt. The fish and chips was soggy. They closed at 10pm and turned off the tvs @ 9:45pm while the game was on, but the sign said they closed at 12am..really.Now the reason why i gave them 2 stars, the waitress was on point even though she was under pressure. My bill was $279.08..sooo I paid good money for mediocrity service!!
Visited Benchwarmers in Covington on Friday night. Jake was our waiter, he was excellent. Very personable even though they were busy we came to our table greeted us and took our drink order. The food was very good and the evening enjoyable.
The WORST service, me and my friends visited and had this BA attituded waitress named Sam, she had the poorest attitude as a waitress I have EVER experienced!! I will assure none of my friends nor myself will ever visit again! She wasn’t only a smart A towards customers but as well towards other employees! #NEVERAGAIN!
Great menu and atmosphere...Go see the lovely Brittany. Absolutely great place.
If there is absolutely nothing else to eat and I dont feel like driving to a reputable sports bar with great food, drinks and customer service then maybe
Pasta was ok, burgers are pretty good. Service was good though.
Service was good and the black and blue salad I had was good. Id go back.
On 2nd thought it was busy that day ... changed to a 5 star. Just had to wait to long for drinks and refills.
I have been to this location before and had great service, however Saturday night me and my husband went on a date night. We enjoy playing pool and having a few drinks, we ended up playing three games of pool and no one approached us not once. The only one that seemed to be working was this young man running around handling 3 big groups. The other three workers I have no idea what they were doing seemed like a social event to them as they just stood around, even after I purposely made eye contact. In my opinion I should not have to approach you and beg you to do your job. After the third game we left and took our money elsewhere and they lost a good tip.🤷♀️
The food was pretty good overall. Pretty pricey for what it is. It is a sports bar and grill. The kids meals do NOT include drinks so that jacked up our cost alone. The waitress was very attentive and sweet though!!!.Honestly I dont really see us coming back. We paid about the same price as we do when we go to Loghorn for much lower quality food. Just personal preferences.
Been meaning to come here for the past year or so. Cool, laid back place.... from my experience anyway. Had a Hawaiian Chicken sandwich with tots that was pretty good. Props to the chef!!!
Kat and this place= HIGHLY RACIST!!!NO SERVICE AT ALL! I SAT QUIETLY TO THE BAR FOR ALMOST AN HOUR... NOT EVEN RECOGNIZED.
The food is great, but I agree with a lot of the reviews that the service is lacking. We barely saw our server and had to actually go up to the bar to get our check. We came to play pool but there is only one table and it was hogged all night. Love other locations but this one isn’t great in terms of service and atmosphere.
So this is my third time coming to benchwarmers. And it’s nice to come here to watch the game because of all the TVs for the games but on my third visit I end up having an issue with my food tasting stale, over cooked or re-cooked something wasn’t right so I told the manager he took the nachos off but I noticed that he had an attitude like it’s my fault or something. I told my waiter about the situation 1st and she just walked off in the middle of me talking as if I wasn’t talking. Ima just say maybe she thought I was finish lol. Thats so rude then she adds on a gratuity in for five people when only two children order I thought that gratuities was for 7and 8 people or more. Then after that the waiter and two other employees stared at us after that and laughing that’s not good business at all. So I’m thinking that this is a family business or a friend business in order for them to be upset about my food that I’m about to pay for to be wrong. I don’t want old food. I don’t want recooked food and I don’t want stale food either but what I could’ve said to the manager was since he wanted to get a little attitude under his breath. I could’ve said to him watch the camera and see how your waiter is digging in her butt on the FLOOR but I didn’t. It is what it is.BUT they would’ve thought that would’ve been rude of me to say right. I will never go back to. Plus when you have manager to tell other employees on the phone to cursed out the person for asking a question it doesn’t matter what they’re saying wrong what are you doing wrong you still don’t encourage your workers to be on that same level they was. Then to say I don’t care do it. WOW enough for me to see myself.
The wings price online is totally different from the menu price inside of restaurant. Confusing to the customers. Especially when I call in a order. Please fix asap.
AMAZING FOOD!!! Try the nachos!!!! You wont be disappointed!! Service was awesome!!
Walked in....not one person greeted us and most tables were dirty so we picked the leat dirtiest one. Bar tenter and one male server were too busy talking and texting so it took almost 15 minutes before anybody took our order. Our food came cold and fries were very overcooked and when I asked about my friends soup that he ordered, he had a blank look on his face, came back a few minutes later and said it was coming soon...only to return 10 minutes later and said your soup isnt looking good so my friend said to forget it. Horrible customer service and the food was cold and everything was over cooked. $40.00 wasted and no servers wearing a mask. Oh...and almost 15 minutes to get a beer literally 5 feet away due to bartender too busy hanging out and socializing,texting! First and last time ever going to one of these restaurants for sure.
I spent my Saturday night annoyed and disappointed. Our waitress was curt and rude. If that wasnt enough, my entree was served on a filthy plate. I would not recommend. Eat at your own risk!
Absolutely the worst hamburger steak ever! It was still red on the inside. The drinks were watered down and my shot was warm. Definitely wont be back. Our server was really nice but thats about it.
Food and drinks were Delicious but it is Super cold inside. Got miserably cold while watching football game. Some of us finished watching game on the patio. Think I prefer the patio even with the smokers
I went to watch my Cowboys play and I enjoyed myself. The food was good and the service was great. Ill defend go back.
First visit and I was not impressed. Place was not busy, but our server took forever to come to our table and only checked on us once for the duration of our visit. All of our food came out with our salads and then our appetizer. Portions were small, Luke warm and priced way to high for quality and quantity. Wont be back. 😞
Best place to sit back unwind and relax. They were nice enough to reorder my particular brand of drink. Great service and bartenders. Not a bad apple in the whole place. From servers to bartenders to management, this place is great. I travel across the nation for work , but Everytime Im in this area this is my go to spot
Our book club enjoyed our first trip to Bench Warmers even though we could not sit together. The red beans & rice covered with crispy chicken was delicious. The burgers were the thickest Ive ever seen. Everyone at our table shared a sample of their food. We knew we would be back soon. Kudos to the servers, the manager, and the owner. You rock!The second time we had reservations for a birthday party for 12. When we got there, we had no where to sit. It took 40 minutes to get a table for the party. It took another 40 minutes to get our food. We have not been back.
The burger & bun was burnt. The fries were cold and crispy. The bar tender was rude like she didnt want to be there. Terrible experience. First and last time coming.
Service was on point tonight! Chris, the manager, was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed! Enjoyed it and I’ll be going back. Thank you Chris!
My husband and I visited Bench Warmers in Covington, GA for the first time yesterday. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. We both ordered the shrimp platter. I ordered grilled shrimp with sauteed spinach and hubby ordered fried shrimp with steamed broccoli. Both meals were awesome as was the service. Looking forward to our return trip.
Came in and waiters are eating in the main dinning area. Got my order in and after waiting a hot minute I went to the restroom and after I came back my burger was on the table wide open getting cold and had flys on it. Only positive is attractive waiters and the burger even though cold tasted pretty good.
Dropped in for a late night meal, and we were not disappointed. We ordered the mozzarella sticks and fried pickles as an appetizer and both were served hot and fast. Also our entrees were even better than expected. From the fish and chips to the Hawaiian style grilled chicken sandwich everything was prepared perfectly and served fresh. Finally, although the food was great the best part of the evening was the service. Aaliyah did an amazing job, and we will definitely be back and asking for her by name!
Walked in right after a Spartan race..in a good mood for a burger! Needed a table for 8.. waitress popped up a stand alone table in the back for us and the customer service was phenomenal! She was nice, friendly and quick! The food was really good too!
This was our second experience. We did not have a great experience the first time. The fried pickles were great. The burger that my mom had was good and to her liking though virtually no cheese. My vodka cranberry drink tasted so watered down that I dont think I tasted any vodka or cranberry. The same with my moms tea. She went out and said dont ask for a to go cup, Its like water. The Reuben bites were mush. I say all this, but I asked for the manager and I got the owner. I told him i wanted to give him some feedback. He didnt just give me some lip service. He gave me his card, explained the challenges that he has and invited us back. We will be back based upon Dave having a conversation with me and not taking the Im not responsible attitude. He took all my feedback with the utmost sincerity and we will be back because of it.
Sat down in booth for 15 minutes without anyone even coming over to greet us. Made very obvious eye contact with a waiter and waitress and was still flat out ignored. Visited on a Thursday night what was NOT busy by any means. My family and I walked out the front door without anyone acknowledging us again. I never leave reviews but couldnt let this one slide. Sorry.
It took a pretty decent while to get my order in, and it took a good 30 minutes to get my food. The burger was good, but very greasy. I asked for well done and it was medium, but no big deal. All in all would recommend for a lunch because dinner on a weekday is packed.
My Husband & I had an awesome time tonight. OMG Brittany is truly the BEST! The food was really good. Atmosphere was amazing. We really enjoyed our evening. We will definitely be back.
Had a great waiter I think his last name was Duby...not sure how to spell it. He was very informative and friendly. Good was good as well. Id go back
They change the hours to whatever suits them. The cook is very unprofessional. The burgers are over cooked, the wings were dry as hell, and in order to run the customers away they shut of game 7 off there tvs. Worst sports bar experience ever..... dont go there
Called in an order, arrived 30 minutes later. They forgot to put the food in. Thought, “no problem, I’ll check in at the hotel and order it through door dash.” Door dash employee shows up to take the food, restaurant had given it away. 0% accountability. Management would be wise to review their staff.
I really enjoyed the food and the staff was incredible. Belinda & Jeff (night mgr) were super cool! I hadb fried shrimp with tator tots. Great taste & breading was light, flavorful and didnt fall off.
We were very disappointed in this place. The service was ok. We didn’t see our waitress much. The Philly had yellow cheese which was weird and the wings were dry. I ordered medium and they came out naked with a drizzle of sauce like they forgot to sauce them and just tossed a small bit on the plate. I ended up asking to a side of sauce and sauced my own wings. I wish this place had been better. But we were not impressed. I heard another table next to ours complaining about the wings too.
My family come to eat. We were extremely disappointed!!! We recieved no service. The only person to even acknowledge that we existed was the bartender. At one point two people sat at the table behind us, and were promptly served. We had no less than four separate servers walk by us, and they would not even look at us. We waited for about 20 minutes before we decided to leave. I will NEVER go here again.
Enjoyed watching game 5 of the of NBA Championship. Received good service. Nice atmosphere in the place. 20 piece wings for $21, I thought was a bit much. No real special on food or drinks. But overall a pleasant experience. I would recommend it.
It was ok! Kinda small & service was slow at 1st but got better as time went by! The food & drinks were good & definitely saved the night!
Where to start, very bright place with TVs, pool tables, an a good vibe. We sat down an order cheese sticks, they came out nice, hot an fresh marinare. Very yummy, now we have place our order, both meals came out looking great, service was A1. Im not the type to hype up a place or give five stars unless they deserve it an this place was outstanding. If Im in the area again this will be my to go place first.
Had lunch on a Sunday and it was one bad thing after another. Server wasnt wearing a mask even after we asked her to. Pepsi tasted like Dr. Pepper. And to top it off, a 20% gratuity was added to our bill. We only had 4 people. We will never return. Just horrible.
Although the menu has been minimized, the food was still good (my favorite burger is no longer available). It was disappointing that the staff (and some patrons) were not wearing masks.
This place is more bar then any thing else. the hamburgers are cooked to order so I take the risk and get my burgers rare (I know anymore its a risk but I dont like my meat cooked well done). the burger was ok not really seasoned, but the onions were caramelized really well and my burger was rare like I requested and has not made me sick. the side of tater tots I got with my meal were also really good nice and crispy on the outside tender on the inside and they were not greasy, so really short of the the burger not being seasoned everything else was really good.
Soul food Sunday’s is amazing. On the menu today was bbq ribs, Mac n cheese, yams, potato salad, cabbage and corn bread. For dessert i had strawberry shortcake and pound cake. Absolutely AMAZING. Great service great prices. I will be back.
Waited 30 minutes before someone came to our table to provide service. We were completely ignored. Subsequently, the food was good, but upon asking for a to-go plate, the waitress gave us one and ignored our question for another plate. Not sure if Ill visit there again. 😕
In the virus age, was very disappointed by the lack of precautions. None of the staff were wearing masks or gloves. We wiped down our own table and the booths were dusty and full of crumbs. The paper menus had grease stains. Our food was okay except the fries were over-seasoned. We will not be back for a while.
This is such an awesome restaurant. They have the best burgers and they make everyone feel welcome. Looking for great food and atmosphere, stop by. The night manager Martin and the wait staff will certainly take good care of you!
The food and service was AMAZING! They have drink specials everyday. Today was, $5 Fireball shots. The General manager greeted us at the door and was very pleasant! We will definitely return.
Ok! I would give them a 5, but it wasnt busy enough to see how they handle a crowd. I did get a great server, Kimberly. She was professional and knowledgeable of the food. I like when the server recommends food that they have tried and not just because its ordered a lot. She deserves a 5 for personality alone! Sooo nice! I love that so many TVs and theyre big. You should be able to see whatever is on at any time from any seat in the bar! I will definitely return for Sunday Football! Oh, the menu offers not just wings & burgers, but pasta, steak, chicken (not wings) & turkey or black bean burgers. The Texas Margarita was ok, but maybe a little less juice for me. Lol Great spot though and worth another visit!
Ate here last night as we have many times before. Always loved it btw! Ordered shrimp for my meal. Everything tasted fine although my fiance did make the comment that he thought the shrimp smelled funny. I just ignored the comment since he doesnt eat shrimp. Got home and about 3/4 hours later woke up sick with food poison. I wasnt sure at first if it was food poison or a stomach bug until I made a post on FB and someone else got sick from eating their wings last night. I called and spoke with the owner David who basically called me a liar and said if I was sick I should have reported it then. Obviously I wasnt sick or had no complaints at the time of service. I dont believe he was very professional or handled the situation correctly. I will not be spending my money here again!
Dont go if youre hungry because the food is lousy and they dont care. Bad Philly and the waffle fries were cold. Nobody bothered to ask why I didnt eat them. Paid the bill and left a tip without a wit given for my feelings. Oh well. Another metro Atlanta place where nobody cares. Its officially a trend here.
Our experience with Bench Warmers is to Bench this restaurant. The food presentation and flavor was unacceptable, and the service was mediocre. We compared this to Spirit Airlines, a nickel and dime corporation. As a group of four we ordered 20 piece wing appetizer @ $21.99 wings only, no fries and included two 1 oz condiment cups of Ranch. Surprisingly they were good, we were asked if we needed more Ranch so we replied yes. My friend ordered the Chicken Nachos and they came with a mountain of nachos, 2 strips of chicken, a ton of jalapeño and a lack of cheese. His wife ordered a philly cheese that barely had cheese in it and was just chunks of chicken in bread. The buffalo mac & cheese was heavily seasoned with salt. We did express this to the server and we were not complaining for compensation. When the bill arrived, we noticed we were actually charged $.75 for the extra 2 oz of ranch. So I asked, if I why had we not been forewarned that extra condiments were going to be an extra charge. So as a retired Restaurant owner, we agree that this was not placed on our favorite places to eat. Quality over quantity any day.
Lousy service and when you speak to the manager all you get is “sorry, we are only human”I would never recommend this place to anyone.You can’t even go out and get a decent meal with your husband.Get it right manager and staff. You are in the business to serve others. And when they don’t get served in your place of business then you have got a problem.Maybe I should have dropped the food on the floorOops, I’m only human!
Have visited a few times. Food has never disapointed. Usually very fast service. Only one time during lunch did we wait a lomg time for the check. The burgers are HUGE and so good. A menu suggestion would be to add mashed potatoes and gravy and slap a burger on the plate for a chop steak special! Parents we have been at lunch and in the evening. Dont let the sports bar in the name worry you if you have kids. Atmosphere during the night is similar to an Applebees.
Just wanted to say came in last Saturday for 2nd this month the service and the food were both amazing!! Dan manager was very helpful and was actually the one who took are order! Bartender was quite attentive to our needs! Everyone working together! We will back for sure!
I was in the mood for a good burger and cold beer during Monday Night Football, and they did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and they had plenty of TVs , all with a good picture. I will make this a regular spot to watch sports.
My mother and I ate here for lunch. The restraunt looks great. The servers were nice, knowledgeable. The food was good. For the price. I am sure duing sporting games this place should rock. There are Tvs everywhere. Their burgers are big, their chop steak was delicious. Desert was ok something and chocolate swirl cake. Ive had better, but Ive had far worse more often. You should definitely give it a try to see if it suits you. Overall i think its a nice addition to Covingtons culinary menu.
Went there today and my husband got a New York Strip medium over cooked and tough the fries were definitely well done ( which I like) but I ordered the Diablo hamburger medium it was over cooked got the second one and it was worse than the first one. The service was good not her fault.
Classic bar food in a comfortable setting. Tvs for the whole family. Seriously impressive amount of televisions. Had the potato skins. They did not disappoint. I also enjoyed the chili cheese burger with their housemade chili.
Very disappointed in the service. Had a girls softball group of 25... ordered food at 930 and waited for 1.5 with no crowd....no refills since we first sat down and asked for refills on numerous occasions. 1 order forgot to be put rung in and was brought out twice wrong. We are from out of town and will not be coming back if we have another girls tournament.Manager was nice to adjust the bill though
Very nice place, where all the managers and bartenders make you feel welcomed. The food is above average. Only con that I have about this place is the drinks are a little over priced. But over all a very pleasant place to hang and watch sports
Over priced! If your single do not go hear I repeat do not go hear. Female staff rude to female customers! If you are a male expect a smile and good hot wings other than that dont go out of your way.
Plenty of seating at this time of day. (Lunch). Bartender very pleasant. Food was good. Sorry no photo this time. Prices okay for food quality.
The salmon was great. The service was fantastic. We had a really nice waiter who was friendly and fun.
Great burgers. Amazing staff. Warm atmosphere. Its very near my house so my husband and I are here at least once a week. Highly recommended.
Not going to bash because places like this, it really does no good. Service is horible, food is wrong, slow kitchen, bar is slow, service is horrible, did I mention that service is horrible??? This isnt the 1st time, usually is horrible service, but we keep going because its hard to find a restaurant with great service in Covington, so we just grin and keep on keeping on!
The food was nasty. I ordered Cajun JambaPasta the sauce taste like dish detergent, Also ordered the mile high nachos it was horrible, I might as well should have ordered a salad and had the chips on the side after expressing to the manger not once did he apologize.i will not return even if it was free
This place has an amazing Buffalo Chicken Sandwich!
Went there for lunch waited 30 minutes only to be told that a large party just got turned in-and my order would be coming up after the large party. Why wasnt it cooked before? I got up & walked out.
Wednesday (The server) treated us very well. The food was great and pretty good drink selection.
Food good. Service excellent
Awesome place! A well kept secret! Great time any day of the week!
Incredible service, black n blue burger and side salad... food was flat out amazing.... been driving by for a while, decided to stop... Eat Here!!!!
Had a great time with family...wasnt sure if I could bring my teenagers there at first but we called and asked first...atmosphere was very comfortable
Im here now and the service is horrible today , slow when its not that busy, I tipped 50$ last time I was here, today I want a refund on my entire experience , only good thing is they have my team on TV
Most of our food came out wrong and over cooked.
Nice spot in Covington.Clean, friendly. Lots of tvs. Reasonably priced. And they make a Black and Tan.There is no divider between urinals, so you may get to know your buddy better than you want to. (Update: the divider has been replaced)
OMG soul food Sunday is Amazing! The food is Awesome drinks were great and mouth watering desserts ! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next Sunday 😘
The staff is great out front. The staff in the kitchen could use some help in consistency. Food has been different portion sizes each time we have been.
Well they lied they are not open on Christmas. Dont waste peoples time.
Visit could have and should have been better. The ball was dropped! Kitchen and staff do not help the establishment. Will not be visiting again.
The food gets 2 stars, the service gets a half a star, a majority the time you could not find any staff even inside in the bar area not even behind the bar. Based on the quality of the food the lackluster service, the price did not make it any More appealing of a place to eat
Really disappointed in the food and the service we had. We have visited once before and having to change a 4 star to a 1 Star is really tough. Really rooting for the benchwarmers. But they didn’t play ball this time.
Friendly environment. Nice clean place. Good burgers too!
Food is good, staff is very friendly and attentive. Value can be interpreted as overpriced for bar food in this market, but like I said it was good and plentiful. Just a heads up there...
Bailey was super awesome!Was our first time there and we were greeted with superstar service! 10/10 will be back.
Great food and drinks. We will eat here anytime we are in the area for now on
This place is amazing! Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and the food is outstanding! Try the buffalo mac and cheese, you’ll be glad you did!!!
This place seems to be declining. Food was only okay and the server was more interested in talking with other staff than giving proper service.
It was our first time there!! The food was great the mixed drinks were fabulous!!
I would be delighted to tell you about my experience the bartender who works on Saturday night is a Liar and hopefully not a cheat also, me and a few Friends pulled in around 45 minutes to closing time so we got us a round of beer and the bartender informed us we would have to order any beer 30 minutes before closing with a attitude so we sat around and couldnt help but notice that some of her freinds came in and were served right up until 10 minutes to closing hope this clears up any confusion.
Wondering why I had to watch Monday night football on the Spanish channel. And not my only issue after multiple visits. Long time patron of the Clairmont Rd. Location which is awesome.
Great food and drinks!

Im sorry but the food was extremely Bland to me I got The Hangover Burger and some wings I mean no flavor at all and Wings was just dry and stale asked for medium rare it was more like overcooked I tasted no seasoning at all in any of the meat decided to pop in cuz the food looks really good on the Google pictures but definitely wasnt what I was expecting just being honest.
Server was sweet but terrible at her job... food and atmosphere were great
Weve been a couple of times now. Ive really enjoyed it. There have been little issues here and there, but I think theyve been growing pains more than anything.

I tried to eat there today. The sign said seat yourself so I did. A server walked by me twice and completely ignored me. I walked out.
Food smells delicious but to eat it is less than mediocre
Waitstaff are not wearing face coverings. This could be detrimental to the health of our community. Very disappointed!
Good food and atmosphere along with great service.

2022-03-25Family went there for dinner and was very pleased with the service and food. We honestly were not expecting the food to be so good. The salmon I got was the best I’ve eaten at a restaurant in years. And our waitress was outstanding. She loved our two-year-old daughter. We will definitely be going back.

2022-02-16Really nice server and the food was good. Really good in fact. At 11pm, one has to limit expectations, but it was a pleasant surprise.Hamburger steak with mashed and broccoli worked for me!Lots and lots of TVs, being a sports bar.

2022-05-23If I could leave no stars I would! First off I don’t want to receive food from a place that allows animals into the building! I mean seriously it’s a BAR! Secondly I believe upper management is very prejudiced! The food quality could definitely be better but hey I guess when you are under staff. ALWAYS!! It’s hard to meet expectations!

2022-06-02If you are looking for a neighborhood place (yes everybody will know your name soon!) with good food, the coldest beer and fantastic staff, youve found it. Benchwarmers draws such a wonderful and diverse group of patrons and is such a friendly atmosphere. They make a pretty delicious salad and their seasoned fries are irresistible too! The manager, Suzanne, takes care of her customers like family. Best place to socialize, watch sports or drink in Covington, hands down!

2022-04-07Came in and sat at bar for 10minutes while the bartender sat playing in her phone. Not once was I offered a menu or asked what I wanted to drink. She then proceeded to walk past me to couple next to me and take food order. Not trying to make it more than what it is but as a 6’1 275 bearded black guy at a bar surrounded by all whites is kinda hard not to be noticed. Did not feel welcomed and her actions made the couple very uncomfortable. Do better it’s 2022 and last time I checked my AMEX is black and Benjamin’s are green. ✌🏾

2022-04-05Horrible customer service sat in there for 45 minutes with a baby and nobody came and got our order. They watched us walk in and walk out. Take your please seat yourself sign down and do better. The waitress looked at us and did nothing when she was at the table next to us 👎🏼👎🏼 Tried to even message them privately about my experience and they didn’t care

2022-05-02Used to love this place but its really gone down hill. Customer service sucks. Today I tried to call in a pickup order. Got put on hold for 15 mins and no one came back. Hung up and tried calling back multiple times only to be ignored. All I wanted was an Alfredo bowl to go . So sorry thats too much. I shall go elsewhere.

2022-05-14So disappointing, I ordered a 20pc wing split sauce 10 hot and 10 garlic parmesean and I normally would ask for all flats but I figured it would be even with a 20pc, but I was highly disappointed when I received an order of all drums that were hard and dry. extremely upsetting and disappointing. the hot were like mild sauce and the garlic parmesean were dry no sauce and to Have nothing but drums such a disgrace. when someone orders that many wings you would expect 10 flats and 10 drums at least mixed on each side I dont know if I will ever go back here again after this.

2022-06-07The vibe of this establishment was very chill not many people. I did not stay long just a quick drink and moved on to the next destination. I have no complaints for the short time I was there
