Herb Thelma's Tavern

I had a wonderful burger with a side of history at this restaurant! I visited on a Sunday and was pleased to find that they are open on Sundays during football and college basketball seasons. The new owner, Rich, served us delicious burgers and showed that he is friendly and dedicated to preserving the restaurant's legacy. He has also added some Covington memorabilia to enhance the dining experience. The prices are reasonable, the restaurant is non-smoking during the day, and I will definitely be returning. It's great to see that H&T's is in good hands under the new ownership!

Cincinnati Magazine recently came out with their list of the 45 Best Burgers in Cincinnati and I reprinted the list along with my experiences and blog posts of the burgers. . Coming in at #18 on the list is Herb Thelmas Tavern in Covington. It's on Pike across the interstate from the old Jillian's. It looks a bit sketch it's got really goofy food paintings on the front that don't look like real food. In fact the windows are boarded over so I've driven by it a million times and didn't really know if it was actually still open. But when I saw it on the list I knew we had to go!

Best burger in NKY. And Best Burger for the price anywhere in the city. A dozen friends of mine and I will not argue this point. Everyone winds up ordering at least a 2nd burger and some have been known to go for a third and a fourth. I don't want to ruin the surprise that is walking in this place without any preconceived expectations other than a damn good burger. Some things are better left unsaid! <br/ <br/ Say hi to Chip for us and see if the JP Foschi 8x10 autographed pic is on the wall yet.

Herb and Thelma's is a hole in the wall bar in Covington. It has MAYBE 5 or 6 tables and one main bar area with a very small and dark second room (I think it is only there for emergencies). When we arrived there was only one other table that was occupied so we sat in the main area right by the bar. I sat with my back to the bar and to my right was a huge bobble head and sports collection all behind glass. You could tell this bar has been around for a long time. Reserva una mesa ahora

Walked in being referred to this place by a good friend. Had high expectations and they delivered. Quick and friendly. Stocks Grippo chips for their sides Wasn't warned about it being cash only so heads up on that. They do have an ATM and the fee is small so it's not too bad but try and have cash. Smaller place with limited seating so be patient. Will be back.

The burger at this restaurant is really delicious. However, they do not offer fries and the only toppings available for the burger are pickles, onions, and cheese. Despite the limited options, the burger is still very good. The chili is also homemade and quite tasty. The only beverage options are bottled beer, as they do not serve liquor.

My son I were just passing through and stopped in for some quick eats. The owner greeted us warmly chatted us up while he was cooking the food. Great history, great straight-up burgers chili, cool 'neighborhood bar ' vibe. Try the ice-cold Hershey bar for dessert!

The Hamburgers at this restaurant are excellent with a no-frills approach. I enjoyed a delicious cheeseburger and bean soup. It is definitely one of the best burgers in the area.
