I really like Southern food and I cook a lot of it, so my expectations were high going into this place, the food was tasty but no southern fried I’ve made or eaten.
The big surprise was that the pieces were all wings. Who makes southern fried chicken out of just wings?
Normally this is made in cast iron pan with peanut oil, it’s a whole chicken that is cut into six or eight parts and the coating is light and crusty. Not deep fried, but fried and flipped on both sides.
This was clearly deep fried.
Plus it was very expensive. $20 per person for a meal – water $2.00 …sit in restaurants are suppose to provide water for guests.
Zero ambiance. Overall disappointing honestly.
I can tell I hit a nerve with the owner … truth hurts … you don’t need to worry, I’m never coming back. $20 is expensive for chicken wings … sorry!
I just lowered it to 2 stars thanks to your response. In this location the hospitality didn’t exist!!

Our new favorite place! Thank you Nana and family. We’ll be back!

1st time was amazing. All bigger, better, for less. Cooked to death thin, small pork chops, missing tail portion on half the the 10 small (size of a quarter) “jumbo” shrimp. Cornbread yummy but small. Sweet potato pies are small tart size with soggy crust and overpowering soapy taste. Who puts bell peppers in sautéed cabbage? Wasn’t there last time, ya know? when it was good.

So good!! We got a little bit of everything to try it out. Everything was delicious, but my favorites were the catfish, shrimp, green beans, and cabbage. The kids loved the catfish, mac and cheese, potato salad, and yams. Definitely coming back! (Picture is my husband’s plate. We did take out.)

First time here and I’m amazed! Friendly staff and service. Spacious dining area and simple menu. I ordered the chicken tenders and fried shrimp with candied yams & Mac and cheese as my sides. I will be back again for sure! Support local business!

We were super excited to finally have a chance to try this place. We ordered at the counter, and the young lady taking our was pleasant. We were told that our pork chops, fried chicken with mac n cheese, and greens would take about 20 minutes to prepare. I thought that was reasonable for these types of dishes. On the drive home, the smells of the food were so good. Unfortunately, the good smells didn’t match the flavor of the food. The pork chops and the chicken were on the bland side it seems like they skipped the season you products step. The Mac n cheese was on the dry side. Not all was lost as I did enjoy the greens. I am hoping this was just a one-off experience. I will be back again to give them another shot.

1st time for us to drive that far for southern food. Was told they are good and it was. We ordered the usual wings and shrimps. Don’t come here looking for thighs and legs. All they serve are fried catfish, wings, chicken tenders, shrimps, and pork chops.

While sitting here at Nana’s ready to write my review I ran across one that in my opinion was based off not having enough cash to eat for the rest of the week ♀️. The reviewer stated that $20 was too much for his for food. From the price he had the same that I had 1 main (meat) & 3 sides. To say that it wasn’t worth it is absolution LIES!! Again this is just my opinion.
I too like many enjoy me some good old southern comfort foods and Nana’s did not disappoint!
My fish was seasoned and fried to perfection and more than likely fried in a professional kitchen do fryer as all fried food is. How do I know? Family business experience? Yeah that’s how we did/do it. My greens, yams and macaroni all flavorful and my cornbread as well.
The ambiance was just what I needed and beyond expected as I needed to stay in my state of mind and prepare for covering as I head back to Portland. So, while the various gospel artists played on the background. I ate and gave God the almighty the honor and thanked him for guiding me to Nana’s. It was just like being in my mama’s home with family.
The staff was amazing as well and well Nana’s daughter was here. She greeted me and thanked me for patronizing.
So, if your in Covington stop on in and give Nana’s a try you won’t be disappointed.
I’m headed back to my home state of Arizona in a couple of weeks and I may not make it back to Nana’s before then. But I know one thing for sure. When I’m working in the PNW I’ll make my way to Nana’s. It’s worth the the hour drive.
May God continue to bless the hands that cook, clean, serve and pay bills. May every vision that you have for Nana’s manifest.
