Fat Spoon Cafe - Covington

Okay food, nothing fancy or special but edible. I had the Big Cheesy Omelet which came with a damn slice of cheese melted on top of the omelet. Even I use grated cheese at home...just lazy on their part. Service was lacking as far as our waitress was concerned. She clearly did not want to wait on outsiders. Might have been tolerable if we had been waited on by someone else other than the racist old lady we had. There are far too many better establishments with friendly, not stuck in the past, racist employees for us to enjoy so we will never eat here again. Sorry we wasted our time and money here.

So we sat down at our table, and the minute I looked around and saw how we were different from the other clientele there, I should have known there were going to be issues. Other tables received food, drinks, and even their checks while we had to wait on our waitress to finally show up and get our drink order. Since we knew what we wanted, we went ahead and ordered our meals (thankfully and she seemed amused at my incorrectly calling the Fat Spoon omelet something else (our first time here, so something easy to do . It took FOREVER to get our food out to us, while she happily checked on other tables and not once apologized for how long it was taking for our food. Meanwhile, i had to flag down our waitress for refills on our coffee. Once our food was (almost at our table with the younger (generation waitress bringing it out, our older (generation waitress mistakenly corrected her to take our food to the wrong table (who had been seated many minutes after we had ordered . Her error was corrected by those patrons and we finally received our food, at which time our older (generation waitress made it a point to again reference my incorrectly calling this dish something else (ironic, right? , as if she must have thought I was stupid or uneducated. After giving her the benefit of the doubt at first (because I 'm not hateful or ignorant , I realized WHY her service was lacking towards only us, and why she chose to be condescending ignorance, hate, and good old fashioned stuck in the past racism will make a person act like that, for no good reason. After all, shouldn 't green be the only color that matters in this instance? My point is, thanks to her (not so subtle behavior towards our type it 's safe to say we won 't ever waste our time or money here again. And for anyone else who is an outsider, they should heed my warning. It sounds about...right...doesn 't it?

Lovely staff, food, and atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back.Kid-friendliness: They have an area at the end of the waiting booths with blocks and such. Great for keeping the littles occupied.

First timers. It was super busy and we went to the bar seating. All of our ordered items were fresh and tasty. Grits with debris was delicious. Pecans in the waffle yum. Potatoes were fried like mini French fries fresh and impressive. Waitresses were swamped but moved swiftly ! We wouldn’t hesitate to visit again and may even try the adult beverages ! Daily specials seemed fair priced. And the rye toast was tasty and golden !

Great dining experience. Good reasonably priced cocktails, friendly service, excellent food. Can't wait to go back.Food: 5/5
