The food here is great! Decent bourbon menu along with friendly staff. An added bonus is that the pizza taste just as good left over and reheated! Definitely worth the money! The menu is also very gluten free friendly, my wife is has celiacs and she says that they have the best gluten free pizza around!

Loved Rich’s. Brought my dad for a dinner because he’s a big bourbon guy. The list is endless, and he had a lot of fun perusing. The food was delicious and I was impressed by the pretty good selection of gluten free options. My dad bought a bottle of bourbon and was super excited about that. I will absolutely go back and had a great time. Our server was comically mean but everything else was so good that it didn’t hurt the experience.

Went here for an early lunch on a weekday, it wasn't busy. They had enough staff who seemed pretty attentive. It smelled a little weird when we walked in. Like mop water. Our food was good, seemed a little overpriced for lunch even downtown. I liked the low lighting and that it wasn't very loud. They seemed to have some gluten free options including the picture I include in this review.

Steve is the man! We had a mishap with a gluten free cake for my daughters birthday so I called Steve last minute and he was able to provide us with these beautiful and delicious gluten free cannolis!! Absolutely would recommend to anyone! He didn’t have to do this last minutes but that’s the kind of guy Steve is! Very grateful and thank him enough!

Do your homework before eating here. First of all, if you have any food allergies, don't come here. We came here because my partner has two unfortunate food allergies and we could get food here without worrying. My partner is allergic to all dairy (not just lactose) and gluten and asked for no dairy on his tacos. The waitress was kind enough to take off the cream and cotija cheese and then offered to put a sauce on the tacos, that we later found out at the end of our meal had dairy in it (al pastor sauce, which does not traditionally come with dairy in it). The manager said sorry and my husband that is too nice, did not ask for a comp even though he will be hurting for days now. This establishment needs to train their employees better or someone could end up in a hospital. Next, I usually default to looking up google reviews to find the fan favorite food items. This time I didnt and this time I regretted it. I ordered chiles rellenos at the very top of the menu which are deliciously cheese stuffed chilis fried and smothered in enchilada sauce, but instead I received a Midwestern casserole with a sliced unstuffed chili (could have been a green pepper) on the bottom topped with a blend of rice, cream of mushroom, unseasoned chicken, zucchini, onion, and cheese on top with a side of store bought tasting red salsa. I know there are some very Midwestern tex-mex restaurants around here, but this had to be the most unauthentic and uninspired dish I have ever had in my life. Would have gone to Cracker Barrel if I wanted a casserole. Expected so much more from such a highly rated restaurant. Giving Frida's name a bad rep.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Coppins while we were staying at Hotel Covington. I enjoyed the pimento cheese deviled eggs as a starter and the Pat LaFrieda Dry Aged Prime Sirloin Strip as my entree. It was so tasty! I was thrilled that they had so many gluten free options. My son enjoyed the Beer Battered Cheese Curds as his starter and the Coppin’s Burger for his entree. For dessert, I enjoyed the milk chocolate pudding (seriously delicious) and my son enjoyed the sorbet. Coppins is the perfect destination for a girl's night out, date night or special occasion or in our case mom/son date night! Don't be concerned if you think the menu is small because every single item we tried was delicious and there is something for everyone. Even my picky teen was happy and that is saying a lot! He requested to go back on our last night in town. Plus, they will customize to suit your needs. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was too!

My husband and I had never been here before. It was a pleasant experience. I had chicken marsala and he had calamari. The staff was very helpful, friendly & accommodating. The food was good but honestly, too salty for us. Everything was very salty. Another couple who was sitting near us had the same concern. The view is unbeatable. Gorgeous. If you have to eat gluten free like me, however, your options are very limited. They do have items on their menu that are gluten free. But if you are in the mood for pasta and the like you're out of luck. Over all, very nice.

A gem of Northern KY. Awesome Mexican restaurant. This isn’t your typical Tex-Mex. Much more upscale, but still reasonable prices. It’s super clean and extremely friendly staff. Guacamole is really good (I don’t say that often). Yuca Fritas were amazing. Mix and match taco menu. They were so accommodative and welcoming that we felt as if they opened the doors tonight just to host our party of four. Had great options for vegetarian/gluten free. Typically we upgrade on the Margs, but tonight went with the house and they were really good with quality ingredients. It was a pleasant bonus that they have Montucky tall boys at the bar, too.
