I should've stuck with Waffle House. Don't let Pike Street Diner's charming sign fool you, it is overpriced and underwhelming. The AC needs to be addressed. The loud fan and busted wall unit circulating warm air did not set the tone for a relaxing brunch vibes. The water carafes were visibly stained and dirty, not refreshing. The coffee was hot, that's about the only redeeming quality. The chicken and waffles was supposed to be a favorite. The chicken was fine but the syrup and hot sauce were basic. The waffle was undercooked and had about as much flavor as a free Hampton Inn waffle. Actually, the Hampton Inn is much better. All in all, for the price this place is "meh" on a scale of 1-10. Not worth the cost on the bill. * The service staff was super nice. read more

Restaurant has a great nostalgic diner feel. The server was friendly, and knowledgeable. The coffee is what you would expect on a basic diner. I was hoping for a robust coffee full of flavor but settled for a "Folgers" type experience. The food was decent but seemed to be lacking something. We compared what was on the plate to the menu and it just seems that the quantity for their sauces was sparse. My hash browns were still a little raw in sections and my sliders were lacking; I should have added an egg for extra protein. Worth a stop in if diner type breakfast is your go to. If you're looking for a healthier option, this is not ideal. read more

Walking in loved the nostalgic diner feel with a modern twist. We were very excited about the menu options but settled on the Derby Brown and the Sliders. Hash browns were very good, crispy and generously seasoned. The turkey on the Derby Brown was thick cut but cooked a hair too long. The bread was basic and a simple substitution of their in house biscuits would have elevated the dish. The tomato bacon chutney was delicious and I wish they had added it to the sliders as well! The meat in the sliders; chicken and goetta, were both a bit overcooked so the overall slider was a little dry. But my husband and I both agreed that we would go back and make the slight modifications mentioned to truly enjoy what this restaurant had to offer. read more

Ordered the sliders- 1 chicken thigh slider and 1 house made sausage slider- Wow that sausage was amazing- Buttermilk Biscuits cooked to perfection and the bacon on the sliders was top-notch- Potatoes are pretty basic- The drinks are kinda high price- a specialty drink costs as much as the breakfast- so recommend skipping an alcohol beverage-as they are not very special- Service was attentive and you can pay on your phone - The diner is cozy- read more

I came here with my BFF, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and after our waitress cleaned a booth we sat down. We looked the menu over and ordered coffee then our meal. The place was clean and even the bathrooms although very small were clean as well. We watched as our food sat under the heat lamp for a bit and when it did make it to our table, it may have been slightly cool. The food was still very good. With that said I was never offered a refill on my coffee. Am I complaining, not really more of a if you come here I would ensure if you need something ask. I would still come back. read more

My BFF and I stopped in after a Yelp event while we were still in Covington. It was very busy and we took the last available table. The food was really good but sat under a warming light too long and came out just warm. The service was meh. Our wait person took our order and had no further contact with us until she brought the bill. The hardest working person was the older woman who sat us, brought our menus and brought our food out to us. She was very friendly. I will say again the food was good and there was a lot to choose from on the menu. It was almost $50 (before tip!) for 2 people having brunch and that seems too expensive to fight Covington traffic to go back. read more

Bottom line...GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE! We went on a Wednesday after the lunch rush so we got a nice booth and our waiter (sorry didn't get his name) was super friendly and answered all of our questions. Was in the mood for a Smash Burger and it didn't disappoint. My wife had sliders and were extremely good. The menu is not HUGE but there is something there for everyone. read more

Myself and my aunt arrived 5min after opening on a Saturday and we were addressed right away. Very friendly & quick service, place looked clean with very fun diner-esc decorations. And wow- probably the best chicken & biscuit combo I've ever tasted! The sweet and salty balance is perfection- don't fear the apple syrup! I will definitely be returning to try more. Maybe I overlooked it on the menu- but I wish there were more specialty coffee options! There is street parking but we opted for a nearby paid public lot and enjoyed the short walk to the diner. read more

As soon as you walk in, you're welcomed by the entire staff. There was no wait today so we were able to sit right down and instantly take your drink order. The menu itself is straight forward and the waitress was willing to give her recommendations. Ended up going with the biscuit bowl which was an amazing rendition of biscuits and gravy and to accompany the savory, I ordered the berry French toast. The food, in general was INCREDIBLE. The overall vibe of the place is super nice as well. Real lowkey and chill. Everyone was amazing and again the food was a home run! read more

Adorable cafe that serves breakfast and lunch (and cocktails). I found on Yelp and we were seated right away. I was also given a yellow rose. Apparently all the female customers are given them. We started with coffee in large mugs, and I was given a little pot of creamer. We each got the Bluegrass omelette, served on top of sourdough bread and with Havarti sauce on top. Delish. Boyf also got 2 pancakes and I tasted. They are thin, almost like crepes. Again, deilsh. The cranberry/vodka cocktail was very good. Service was exellent. We would def come back when in the area again. read more

Amazing food and great staff! The vibe was perfect and have recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Everything about this location is wonderful. Friendly, accommodating , fast, and the food is fresh and delicious. Had the Bluegrass omelette, which was served with Mornay sauce over toasted sourdough. Perfection. Coffee was hot and water was cold and in carafe on the table. Can't wait to come back with friends to try the Apple pie waffles. Yum! read more

Decent, but didn't live up to the hype. Food was good, but not great. We arrived at 11am as their brunch peaked, so I'll give them that grace. Food was okay. French toasts too sugary; biscuit bowl a tad bland (it needs the hash's spicy aioli sauce), but fresh; hash was spot on. Service sucked. Two servers; ours was curt and disjointed. He clearly didn't want to be there and served us our water and setups way too late and after we asked for them. When asked how my wife wanted her hash's "sunny side up" egg as described in the menu, she said "as the chef recommends"; she was then rebutted with "Again, how do you want your egg prepared?" Thanks, but it wasn't what we were hoping for, despite their efforts. Perhaps it was the timing, the staff or ??? read more

Another great concept from the group that brought you Cesar and Yuca! Pike Street has diner vibes, and their menu has some great offerings. The waffle was a great size for the table. I ordered the hot brown and added added egg-it was delicious! They also have a variety of breakfast and brunch cocktails including coffee cocktails. read more

Pike Street is a delicious place to come for brunch or lunch. I have visited Pike Street on two separate occasions and I have enjoyed it both times. On my first visit I ordered the s'mores French toast. It was decadently sweet, so next time I would probably order it to share with the table and go for a more savory entree. On my most recent visit I tried the "Derby Brown". Oh my goodness the havarti mornay sauce was so amazing, I will definitely be ordering this again! The vibe of the restaurant is very laid back and welcoming. We have also received friendly service on both visits! read more

We were in town for a wedding and actually went to Pike Street two days in a row!! That should tell you something right there. Both times we had a fairly large group and we were welcomed by a host or hostess that was very accommodating to our needs. The restaurant isn't huge but it is well appointed to suit all sizes of groups. The menu has unique items on it and everything we ordered, from breakfast foods to lunch items, were DELICIOUS!! It wasn't a fast process, but each item is freshly made in an open viewing kitchen so keep that in mind. Those that ordered the coffee said it was some of the best they've had in awhile and Pike's sells bags of it in in the restaurant. Highly recommend Pike Street!!!! read more

Really good food. Great atmosphere. Service was a little slow getting the food out but all and all good experience.

When I read that the same owner of Cedar was opening this diner, I was all in. They had a soft opening Saturday, but today was the day that was first open to Public. I got there not long after they opened at 8:30. There was a couple tables of people when I got there. They have a front and back menu and keep it very simple. The ambiance of the restaurant is very unique. I Loved all of the different textures, colors and coziness. They have a wall made of wooden pieces, beautiful designed wallpaper and a bright golden wall. They have several options when it comes to seating, you can seat yourself or they have the diner top where you can sit and watch your food being cooked (similar to Waffle House). If you have a big group or family you can sit towards the back where they have several tables. I went with the s'mores French toast and a Bloody Mary. I have a sweet tooth and absolutely love s'mores, so this was a hit. It was crusted which gave you the texture you look for in this. It was very good and I enjoyed every bite. I didn't notice any powder sugar like the menu noted, but there was a sprinkle of something that was perfect. I think the whipped cream could perhaps be on the side, because it quickly deflated from the heat of the fresh French toast. I loved this dish and would order it again! The Bloody Mary was full of flavor and beautifully made. I ordered the "Pike St. bloody" as they have three different options to choose from. It didn't have much spice to it, but was refreshing and great for a breakfast drink. Overall, so glad I got the chance to pop in here on the first day and experience the food firsthand. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu and see how they are doing. I wish nothing but success to the new business and I'll see you next time! read more

Came here for brunch with my father in law and boyfriend on our way out of Newport and the food was really good(: Walking into the restaurant, it was fairly quiet for a Wednesday morning at noon. The decor was clean, sleek and modern, I really enjoyed the atmosphere (: Our server was very quick and efficient and the food came out fairly fast. My boyfriend ordered the s'mores French toast which had a mild sweetness, it didn't leave you feeling like you had a mound of sugar. Father in law ordered the bluegrass omelette which he really enjoyed, and I ordered the biscuit bowl. The gravy was made in house which I enjoyed: wasn't overly salty and had a slight kick to it which caught me by surprise, I loved it (: Definitely give this place a try if you haven't already :D read more

I would give this a 3.5 rating, but rounding down to 3 for this review. Personally the menu wasn't my favorite - their brunch menu geared more to lunch than breakfast, felt heavy, and very meat-focused. That being said, I think the menu does have a unique flair for those looking for this type of meal and is maybe more on-point with a typical diner. I wish they had a couple additional sweet options on the menu that weren't a stuffed meal (or offer an option of the existing items without the waffle/French toast stuffed with sweets) - they do sound yummy but a bit too much like dessert to be eating for breakfast. I got the bluegrass omelette and it was tasty. Not much else I would be interested to order on the menu if I came again besides one of the sweets.. maybe paired with some savory sides to balance it out! read more

As happens more and more these days with a little one in tow, I get completely distracted by the time our food comes and forget to take photos before quickly devouring the deliciousness. From before you walk in, the diner decor and vibe is inviting and nostalgic. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and able to pick our own table; our server was very attentive and told us all about the menu. If you're a fan of Cedar, Yuca, or simply looking for a great breakfast/lunch option on the Madison Ave. area of Covington, you should definitely check this out! The one surprising thing I found was that the menu had a slightly higher price point than I was expecting for a "diner" but still not unreasonable for how great the food is! Our server's recommendations that were all : -Pike St. Bloody -Pike Smash -Ma! Meatloaf Since this is now a neighborhood spot for us we'll for sure be back! read more

I found this place because my friend was staying in town at Hotel Covington. It wasn't busy on a Saturday at 10 am, surprisingly, and we could sit right away. The restaurant has old diner vibes but it's cute. We ended up wanting mimosas and they have a flight of juices and bottle of sparkling wine that is only $30 to make your own. It came with 4 juices and all were so good. I got the omelet (was great), my husband got the burger (he said it was good and fries were good too) and my friend got the chicken sliders (she said they were great too). I would recommend for a weekend brunch! read more
