I speak from experience as the hanger steak my brother saw online and wanted (which made us pick this restaurant) was not available this particular evening. On to the better stuff: I really liked their welcoming vibe and relaxed atmosphere. Complimentary sourdough bread was immediately served as well as celebratory champagne for my little brother's birthday. We started with the hush puppies appetizer and the French onion dip, which came with a bag of Zappo's potato chips. For dinner, I ordered the four cheese pasta, which I was informed is made in-house and is leaving the menu very soon. My only complaint was the size of the wine pours. When I inquired, they stated the pour was 6 ounces. The kind surprise was a generous top off when they sensed my disappointment. Their kids' menu -which isn't printed - is a little limited. Kids can pick from grilled cheese, chicken skewers, and a hamburger. One kiddo had a hamburger and my son snacked on their shoestring fries. All other adults ordered burgers and everyone seemed to enjoy their dinner. One more complimentary surprise showed up near the end of dinner which was a miniature Keylime pie in celebration of my brother's bday. Back home, we have very few restaurants that offer so many complimentary items. That definitely sets this restaurant apart from others. Also, having a small menu means they likely give lots of attention to the entrees they serve. Definitely recommend City Pharmacy!

For drinks we ordered the cloud atlas (off menu) and a vodka gimlet, gimlet was good but a little off balance. Complimentary corn bread was pretty tiny and a bit dry.

We still had some room for dessert so tried the chocolate molten lava cakes, mine not so lava like but still tasty!

Upon entering the restaurant, the ambiance was very nice, and it gave a "grown and sexy" vibe. First off let me say that our waitress, (I won't say her name) wasn't attentive AT ALL. The only thing she did was take our order. She never checked on us, she wasn't the one who brought our food....nothing. I even put my empty glass on the corner so she would see it and just automatically re-fill it...nope. I had to get her attention and ask for a refill! Very disappointed about that. Now, on to the food. I had the lambchops, w/ veggies and a side of corn. The lambchops were delicious, but small. Whatever the veggies were, were very tasteful and seasoned to perfection! I also like the taste of the corn. My husband had a steak. He got it well done, but it came out w/ too much pink for his liking, so he sent it back to be cooked more. It came back out, just right and was seasoned well. There is also a D.J. that played the best music. It wasn't too loud either, which was a PLUS!! I will mos. def be returning in the near future. Try it for yourself!

If you're looking for a fun weekday spot, Shantel's Restaurant & Lounge definitely delivers! I…read morestopped by on a Tuesday night, and the atmosphere was exactly what I needed--great food, good music, and an interactive crowd without feeling overly packed or overwhelming. One thing I noticed right away was how clean and spacious the restaurant was. Everything looked well-maintained, and I didn't notice flies or anything that would make me question the cleanliness. The layout gives everyone plenty of room to enjoy themselves, and there's even a small stage that becomes the center of attention during the night's entertainment. Now let's get into the food! Salmon Bites: 9/10 - Crispy, flavorful, and the perfect appetizer to start the meal. Brussels Sprouts: 10/10 - These were absolutely amazing! Perfectly cooked with so much flavor that I found myself reaching for them between every bite. Cup of Fries: 8/10 - Crispy and fresh, just a little saltier than I personally prefer. Medium Jerk Lamb Chops: 9/10 - Tender, well-seasoned, and packed with delicious jerk flavor. Crab Legs: 10/10! These completely stole the show. At just $7 per cluster, they're one of the best values on the menu. They came out hot, flavorful, and honestly had me wondering why more places don't offer a deal like this. For my drink, I ordered the Peach Lychee Martini made with gin, and it was just as pretty as it was delicious. It was light, refreshing, fruity, and dangerously easy to sip. What really made the night memorable was the entertainment. They had karaoke, which was so much fun, and the crowd was really into it. They also played music trivia throughout the evening, and if you won a round, you got a free shot--such a fun way to keep everyone engaged. The DJ deserves a special shoutout. He was interactive, kept the energy up all night, and knew exactly how to get the crowd involved. It felt like more than just dinner--it felt like an experience. Overall, Shantel's Restaurant & Lounge is a great Tuesday night destination if you're looking for flavorful food, fun entertainment, and a lively atmosphere. Between the delicious crab legs, the Peach Lychee Martini, karaoke, music trivia, and welcoming vibe, I'll definitely be back for another night out.

Pasta was "OK" nothing to return for. I will say I enjoyed the greens. The bbq shrimp was ok and the green tomatoes were just ok not enough seasoning for me.

They had a birthday party going on but the space is so big I didn't even seem them until I walked all the way back to the bar to see them around the corner. The stage has a pole which is more to say about how the space is then anything. Like your auntie and uncle turn up space where too see someone momma hit the best moves on the dance floor but in a family reunion way. When the food came I didn't know what to expect. I did 2 meats 2 sides. But after one bite of the fries I knew this was about to be a hit. It was. I also got the bbq chicken. I was not a fan of it as it felt dry but it doesn't matter cause those ribs was the hit. It was like going to a cookout at your friends house and the husband was generous with how he loves on the ribs. It was everything. So in the end I would definitely come maybe back for the food alone.

A friend and I visited this restaurant about 2 months ago. I was looking for a place that I had not…read morebeen to. What a mistake! First of all, we waited about 15 minutes before a server acknowledged us. It appeared as if they all were preparing for a large group event. I ordered the wings which were tasty but a small potion. In addition, I had a house salad which was fine. I believe my friend had the fried catfish which she described as OK. We decided to order drinks. I had a margarita with Don Julio tequila, and she had a long island ice tea. The margarita cost $18.50, while the long island ice tea was $17.00. We have had the same drink for less elsewhere. The ambience was more like a party environment and not suited to an early dinner. To say the least, I will not be back nor will I recommend this place to others.

One of the things I really liked about this place is that they have daily events.

The staff was always readily available and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. The drinks were also really good and well made. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for good Caribbean food, tasty drinks, and a fun atmosphere with entertainment. Definitely worth checking out!

Tonight we made our way to The Social Goat in Covington, Georgia. Before we even get to the food,…read morethis is the kind of restaurant that has a personality all its own. Goat-themed artwork is scattered throughout the restaurant, including some fun paintings that immediately caught our attention. The atmosphere feels more like a cozy tavern than a traditional taco restaurant, with dark wood, booths, and a comfortable setting that invites you to settle in and stay awhile. One interesting piece of local history is the building itself. We learned that in 1906, this building housed an antique market. Think about that for a moment. If someone was selling antiques here in 1906, some of those "antiques" might have been from the 1800s. More than a century later, the building is still serving visitors, although these days the focus is tacos rather than antiques. Covington itself is worth mentioning. The city has become known as Georgia's Hollywood of the South, with more than 100 movies and television productions filmed here over the years. Fans of The Vampire Diaries and Sweet Magnolias will recognize many locations around town. If you're visiting the area, there is plenty to see before or after dinner. Our server for the evening was Jordan, who provided friendly service throughout the meal. The menu features eleven different taco varieties, which immediately created a dilemma. Narrowing the choices down to just three was not easy. We ultimately chose the Fried Fish Taco, the Philly Taco, and the Sesame Ribeye Taco. The tacos are available as a trio, allowing you to sample three different varieties on one platter. The meal also came with chips, salsa, and queso, making it easy to share and compare flavors. Let's start with the Fried Fish Taco because it ended up being my favorite of the three. The fish itself had excellent flavor and was cooked just right. The taco was topped with a sauce that brought a unique flavor to the experience, and the crunchy slaw added texture that worked beautifully with the fish. Every component contributed something to the overall bite. This was the taco that surprised me the most and ultimately earned the top spot in my personal ranking. The Philly Taco finished a very close second. If you're a fan of Philly cheesesteaks, you'll immediately understand the appeal. Loaded with shaved ribeye, peppers, onions, and cheese, it delivered exactly the flavors I was hoping for. It was rich, satisfying, and packed with flavor. Sometimes simple combinations work for a reason, and this taco proved that point. The Sesame Ribeye Taco was the most unique of the three. The sesame-soy flavor was bold and immediately noticeable. I enjoyed the flavor profile and appreciated that it took the taco in a different direction than what I typically experience. Rather than trying to imitate a traditional taco, it offered something distinct and memorable. Anyone looking for a creative twist on a taco will likely find this one especially interesting. One thing I appreciated about the trio platter was the opportunity to compare very different flavor profiles side by side. The Fried Fish Taco offered a balance of fish, sauce, and crunch. The Philly Taco delivered familiar comfort-food flavors. The Sesame Ribeye Taco brought a bold and unique flavor profile to the table. Each taco had its own personality, which made the comparison part of the fun. The chips were crisp, the salsa was fresh, and the queso provided a nice complement to the tacos. Combined with the trio platter, it was more than enough food for a satisfying meal. The Social Goat manages to be more than just a taco stop. Between the historic building, the goat-themed decor, the welcoming tavern atmosphere, and a menu filled with creative options, it offers an experience that stands out from the typical restaurant visit. If we return, and there is a good chance we will, there are still eight taco varieties left for us to investigate. The Social Goat Tavern 1115 Church Street Covington, GA 30014
