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?

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

I’m medically diagnosed Celiac this place is absolutely terrible. I asked if they had a separate menu or anything safe, and they didn’t know what was or wasn’t Gf- didn’t even know what gluten was. I didn’t eat, I just had water. Stay far away from this place if you have an allergy, food intolerance or Celiac. Also service was scarce and unattentive

Hopefully this is not typical. The lady at the door asked us to sit wherever we want. After we sat down, it took more than 10 minutes for anyone to greet us and ask for drink order. This waitress said it wasn't her table but apparently noticed us not being helped and sincerely apologized- that was good. When I got my coffee, I stired it just to find half of a sugar packet. My wife thought it was mine, but I showed her my complete empty packet on the table. Later on, weweren't checked on for a while and had to wait too long for refills. My BLT was good. My wife's eggs, ham, and grits were fine. Her biscuit was generous size but crispy/dry/overcooked on the side. Not sure if this is typical, but maybesome people like this. Overall, I couldn't give more than 3 stars for this visit.
