    3 alarm burger
    Patrice B.

    Bards is by far my favorite burger place and if I'm going to splurge on calories it will always be for a bards burger! They've become quite popular over the last few years and have done some small remodeling to add additional space. Now for the food, I tried the 3 alarm burger with no alarms as I don't like too much spice. The burger was fresh, great temperature and all around flavorful. I tried the side Greek salad which was much bigger than I expected but it was still good. The fries however are a must have if you've never tried them. The server was super nice and made sure we had everything we needed. The owner also walked the restaurant checking in on the customers which I always love every time I visit. Bards is consistent every time!

    Burgers are good, cheese curds were delicious. Pricing is as expected. Cute interior and good service.

    This place is delicious and honestly I'm not sure why I don't go more. My burger was perfect and juicy, my Diet Coke was crispy and my fries were hot. Honestly, that's always a win. The service was great and the vibes are always laid back and chill. A manager even stopped by to introduce herself and check on us! That's a big deal during lunch rush. There is a reason this is a top rated burger joint and it deserves to keep the rating!

    classic "craig" burger and fries

    arrived about 7pm on tuesday(burger special) being run on 6 of the burgers and included fries for just $10. the fries were hot and fresh with the perfect amount of salt. the burger was charred well on the outside yet still juicy. the pickles were tangy and the 1/2 and 1/2 of fried pickles and fried cheese curds was a perfect way to start the meal as the burger and fries did take quite a while to make it out but were well worth the wait. staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. there were tvs and quiet music playing in the other dining room. i love the setup its cozy and spacious. i would definitely like to try the burger with doughnut buns but sadly they were out of doughnuts and couldn't make the bread pudding with that featured item either. overall it was great and ill be back.

    deluxe burger

    First time coming here even though i was down that way all the time ! We got the food to go and the poutine to share and burgers. The burgers were so delicious and the poutine was really good. Everyone that we talked to there was extremely nice and very helpful with questions. The inside was small but there were some places to sit, any party over 8 might have a hard time finding a spot unless there was another room that i did not see. would come back

    We decided to try Bard's Burgers and Chili after seeing them on The Food Network. It was definitely worth the drive to get to this dive. The restaurant was bright, quiet and very laid back. So, you could definitely stop in during lunch or after work and not worry about having to change first. The first thing we noticed was the smell of the beef brisket and chicken wing that were in the giant smoker out back, but those weren't done cooking, so we ordered the fried pickles. They were very good. We ordered a Deluxe Burger with a cup of chili and the Mushlove and fries. My husband really liked the Deluxe, but I thought the Mushlove was the best. They use fresh mushrooms and plenty of melted Swiss cheese. They also have fresh cut fries. Which is my favorite. They were cooked perfectly. Soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Then we had to try the fried Oreos since we'd never had them before. OMG! It was like a chocolate stuffed funnel cake. The service was great. Both the servers were friendly and willing to offer suggestions, which I always appreciate. Did I say they have beer and alcoholic beverages? Well, they do! If that's not your thing they have Coke products on fountain and Pepsi and various other drinks in bottles.

    This place is a throwback. A true neighborhood burger joint, kitchen really hustling, kids learning new jobs, neighbors of all kinds coming together to share a great burger. I had the 3 alarm burger with Jalapeños, So good. They were running a feature on the fried cheese curds so we had those also. Surprisingly good beer selection, full bar, friendly service and amazing burgers. What else could you want?

    We had seen Bard's on many lists of best burgers in the city, so we absolutely needed to try it. And while it's not my #2 burger, it is absolutely delicious. The space is quite small, so make sure to get there early (especially on a weekend) if you want to be seated quickly. I really liked the cheese curd appetizer. I do think we should have ordered the half size instead, as the burgers and sides were plenty of food. I also liked that you could get a coney as a side (pictured here). Burgers were fresh and really really good. Service was a little slow, but I think that was due to the popularity and business of the restaurant. Will go back again!

    Great bar!

    Chili lunch and a quick midweek brew. Cool selection of crafts and coneys worth the trip! Big menu, burger is highlight but plenty of other choices. Tvs and pinball, what more could you ask for!!

    Fries with chili and Bards Boy

    I've been here several times throughout the years when i worked in the area and when I am in the area now but I never submitted a review. I've had the poutine, chili and the burgers and they all have been good. The service is good and the owner comes and talk to you. They are now offering smoked products. The last time I was there I had the brisket and when I was walking in I was able to smell the smoker they had in the back. This time I had a bowl of the Brunswick soup which was excellent. It's a place that you can't go wrong but it depends on what you want on a burger or even if you want a doughnut bun. The burgers are hand made and nothing fancy. If I lived closer I would go there more often but when I am in the area, it's my go to place to eat.

    WOW! This place is so cool! I was in Covington for a wedding and the entire wedding party decided…read moreto stop by for a few drinks. Despite having such a large group, drinks were out fast and there was plenty of seating. 2 things stick out here: Decor and the Drinks. Both were impeccably done. The nature meets wood and brick aesthetic is so purposefully laid out and when the eye cruises across the landscape it's so satisfying!! We had a LOT of drinks, but the jade river, el toro rojo, and pacific muse were our favorites. The drinks are priced pretty well ($12-$14) and the service was very prompt, always cleaning up empty glasses and clearing space for more people to sit. I for SURE recommend this place as a spot to come and throw a couple rounds back. We stayed for hours and drank and talked our hearts out! Thank you for such a wonderful night. 5 stars.

They offer delicious seasonal drinks, and every drink & shot I've tried has been amazing! My absolute favorite thing I've had here (and one of the best drinks I've ever had period) is their S'mores Espresso Martini! It's literally perfection; aesthetically it's fun but still well composed as any espresso martini should be; it's has the right balance of sweet & coffee, & all of the flavors really make it taste like you're drinking an espresso flavored s'more! If you see this on the menu, it is a must try!
