Bummed that I didn’t take any pictures. Let me tell y’all tho… the sandwiches were DELICIOUS! My husband and son got the cheesesteaks, my daughter got the Italian and I got their Turkey Bacon Melt which was the sandwich of the day I tried all of them and they were really good. It was nice because we were able to go over to Vint Hill Winery and enjoy a bottle of wine. :)

The staff could be a tad bit friendlier to newer people trying to look at their menu options. As it is someone first time ordering from their, so it would be nice being able to take the time to figure out what they sell with out the feeling of being rushed or glared at. Other then that the restaurant was clean and beautiful. The food was wonderful and full of flavor. I was surprised and happy to find out they put red pepper in their steak in cheese I've never had one with red pepper before and it was amazing.

I've tried to order food here three times in the last two weeks and I've been yelled at or snapped at two of those times. The first time was fine -- there was a pleasant younger lady that took my order and everything went smoothly. The second time I went, I showed up with 3 of my co-workers about 2 weeks ago. When I requested another chair to seat the fourth person, I was yelled at by an older woman from behind the counter. The third time (today), I tried to call in an order for more than one person and I was rudely cut off after asking if they sold fish sandwiches. Then when I tried to place the

OVER ONE HOUR to get 2 cheeseburgers to go. Told me it would be 30 minutes. Only kids working here on a Saturday. More customers here than normal obviously and they weren't prepared. Completely overwhelmed. Heard one of the kids on the phone, presumably to the owner, her mother, and the conversation wasn't not pleasant. Rough crowd. Mother showed up but wasn't doing anything. My cheeseburger was raw in the middle and was not as ordered. Other burger was cooked sufficiently. Probably won't return. Left generous gratuity for the kids working but they learned a lesson

I have gone to the Covert Cafe twice now, and both times have been a wonderful experience. The first time, I had the Ruben sandwich for lunch; it did not disappoint! The second time, I had the Philly cheesesteak. It, too, was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend them, and they're situated in a wonderful location for your lunch needs.

Today was my first time eating here. My friend and I arrived and ordered at 12:00pm. We didn't receive our food until 12:55pm despite asking about it around 12:30. I'm not sure if this is normal but many people today had issues getting their correct order let alone their food. I can't blame this on the staff working as they were high school age but I can blame the owner/manager for not being there. In a service business there should always be a manager on staff. To be fair, my friend and I did both receive one free drink each but I asked for a refund on the food and the cashier said

Their food is amazing! If I could eat their fries everyday and live to be 100 I would. They are fresh and made extra crunchy if you ask.
My husband and I love when they make crab cakes. The burgers are great as well. If you feel like a sweet their huge cookies and pecan bars really take the cake!

Average restaurant meal.
I had a bacon cheese burger w/ avocado. It was just OK.
Fries were just OK. They seemed ... frozen.
My friend had a BLETCH (bacon, lettuce, egg, tomato, cheese) and it was OK. She didn't like the fries.
Nothing remarkable.
Not much to say...
Not bad, not great... just OK.
OK is fine.

Went there a week ago for lunch. Got the turkey bacon melt and chicken poblano soup. INCREDIBLE!! I've never said this about soup before but if I die, fill my casket with chicken poblano soup! Went there today and tried the Cajun burger...excellent! Had a kick to it and was unlike most burgers. Employees are always very nice and genuine. Food comes out in record time, even in a rush like I was. Fries were perfect, salted. Napkins were nice quality too. Also, don't know if it's permanent but they had a German chocolate brownie today and it was fantastic!! Taking those to my grave

Could be a 5 star with just a tweek or two.
Found the place using apple maps no problem.
Steak & Cheese ( no pepper & onion) very good, lots of meat.
Will request toasted roll next time. Got a bit soggy on take-away.
BLETCH was very good. Bacon nice and crisp, egg done perfect.
Fries - spot on. Good quantity, salted just right. Ketchup in the bag without having to ask.
Quality napkins also included.

Decent. I'll definitely try it out again. It's definitely hidden! It's a counter service restaurant, with bottled and canned drinks. I ordered the BLETCH (bacon, lettuce, egg, tomato, cheese) with fries and I enjoyed it. They put enough mayo on it and made it very nicely. The fries were good, but needed salt- thankfully, they keep salt packets outside for you.
The husband had a burger- it was called the Cyclops. Bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg on it. It was on a nice white bun (Wonder bread type), but unfortunately, it was very heavy for the small bun, and the burger

Really enjoyed the Covert cafe today. I had a great Avacado BLT and bowl of chili. A little too much meat in the chili but it was still tasty.
My friend had a bacon cheese burger which he said was great! And it looks really good too. The people were very friendly too. There just isn't much room to sit and eat.

Yummy place hidden in a cute little town. Google maps didn't quite know how to get us there, but it wasn't too difficult to figure it out.
Craving a breakfast burrito on a Saturday morning (and not wanting to pay an arm and a leg for one at eggspectation) Yelp lead us here. $12 and change for two burritos. They were opening up upon our arrival, had just turned the open sign on. We were greeted by a friendly young man and the food was served up quickly. Very yummy. A little heavy on the potato, but that's a common problem with any breakfast burrito. Still very yummy and we are so

I've visited The Covert Cafe for breakfast twice now.
The first time, I had a sausage and cheese on a biscuit. The biscuit was to heavy and to doughy. A good biscuit should be light and flaky.
The second time I had a Breakfast Burrito - with eggs, bacon, potatoes, and cheese, wrapped in a wheat tortilla. I asked for some hot sauce - they provided a soufflé cup of Texas Pete hot sauce. Not a great hot sauce, but better than some.
The Burrito was pretty tasty and filling. If I'd been writing this review based solely on my first visit - the review would have been two stars. But the Breakfast

I came here for the first time today & grabbed some lunch. I chose the Turkey Avocado BLT with chipotle mayo on wheat with Miss Vickie's Original Recipe chips and a bottle of water. I went in around 12:15 & there were 2 other patrons inside, while I waited to order 4 more came in. I ordered mine to go & sat to wait while 3 more people came in. They seem pretty busy during the lunch hour! They had quite a few tables inside & a couple on a little patio out back.
My sandwich was SO good! They don't skimp on anything - you absolutely get your money's worth of food.
