keystone bar & grill

going downhill. im so sad about thisplace:( i use to go here all the time. then they changed the menu to this emo-centric taste. please bring back fried not baked wings! if youre eating mac and cheese not worried about your waistline for this meal. also the salads. i ate there at least once a week. the salad use to rock with candied nuts and cranberries; now its beets!! i hate beets!!. my last three visits there ive walked away unhappy. they expanded and it really went downhill. sad to say, i doubt ill be back.

5 stars!. greatplaceto grab a beer, mac n cheese, and relax. keystone is always a fun place.

i wish i was eating this right now!. i'm so glad that i succumbed to the mac and cheese menu's calling.

overall, the fresh ingredients used by keystone really set the food up on a pedestal. the powerhouse mac, with chicken, steak, jalapenos, blue cheese, and potato chips was incredible! our hotel was about 3 blocks away (embassy suites) and if not for the foil take-out dishes, i would have finished this off for breakfast. we also had the mac and cheese with chili (reo speedwagon?) which was also excellent. the fresh-cut fries were awesome. the chips and salsa were interesting ...the chips weren't your standard tortilla chips...they were deep fried, soft and awesome.

service was outstanding. everyone who was working in thisplacehelped us at some point, and everyone was extremely pleasant, helpful and outgoing.

keystone offered good food for a good price. the service was a little poor on our visit but that was probably because theplacewas packed. many people speak highly of this restaurant, which if i were judging it only by the potato crisp i would agree but it just didn't hit the right notes for me.

my favorite brunchplaceof all time. great drinks....great location...for dinner cools unique macaroni dishes..all around cool experience.

love this place. they have wonderful half price mac and cheese nights, as well as quesadilla nights. greatplacepre and post football and baseball games. best brunch in town too

i liked it, but.... i am not 100% sold on theplaceyet. i have been to keystone only once...it was a friday around 7:15p. the outside was pretty full so we went for a table inside. i like the setup inside....comfortable feeling, and a nice bar. we were waiting on 2 friends to join us still so we started off with some drinks. after i started drinking my beer i noticed that the glass was filthy with dried food crumbs. finally an employee came by the table so i could alert them and ask for a new glass. i guess i should have not been so generous asking for just a new glass, i really should have asked for a new beer....after all bell's 2 hearted isn't as cheap as a miller.
up until the point that our friends arrived we really didn't know who our server was because we had encountered 4 different people from the time we walked in the door. our appointed waitress was very friendly though so no qualms about that really.
i don't remember what everyone else had, but i opted for the powerhouse mac. wow, this was spicy! i really liked the mac, but i can't say that it was worth $11.50 - if they justify the price because it has steak and chicken in it, there really wasn't that much of it. it would be a great bargain on their 1/2 price mac mondays, but it's probably overpriced by $2 in my opinion.
given that our service was friendly, the taste of the food, the atmosphere, and the multiple taps of craft beer i would definitely return at some point. maybe next time they'll have a beer list available so i don't have to get up to look at the tap handles.

bestplacefor weekend brunch!. the staff here are freakin' awesome. and so are the bloody marys! have yet to find something to complain about this place.

way too pricey. i have heard good things about thisplaceand was excited to go. the mac and cheese is good and fits the cozy atmosphere, but it's nothing you can't make at home if you take the time to do homemade mac vs. a box.

my major tiff with thisplaceis the prices. the food is typical, so if you go for that alone you are fine. but drinks are utter nonsense. a simple red bull and vodka (well, mind you) is $10. i was floored when my buddy and i got our bill at the end of the night and it was $100. first, there is no way both of us drank 5 red bull and vodkas a piece. second, who the heck charges $10 for well vodka. even at a high end price, a rb-vodka will run $7-$8 max. $10 is getting into martini prices. and well vodka? no thank you.

another even that solidified the class of this establishment was that after paying my bill, i elected not to tip. i'm an ex server so trust me when i say i usually leave a generous tip. it takes a lot for me not to leave anything. after paying and walking out of theplacefor the night, the bartender preceeded to chase me and my friend down in the street, only to remind us that our drinks were $10 a pop. um, yeah, i got that, and btw, thanks for reminding me not to return. who does that? really? when i literally write, "ridiculous bill" on the tip line, i think i'm well aware of the $10 prices.

good mac and cheese or not, i will not be returning. i will stick to places like jeff ruby's next time if i want to spend $10 a drink.

fail.

over priced. service and food was fine. between 2 of us our bill was $96.00 not including tip just for drinks. the onlyplacein covington that has a $9.00 beer on draft. vodka and redbull $10.00 and was not top shelf. i pay that for a martini at jeff ruby's. not worth it. save your money.

a fantastic birthday lunch!. i went to keystone for my birthday lunch. i met a friend there who had heard that it was "theplaceto be" and she was right. it was quite an original menu and we both had the "special" which is a mix up of breakfast foods and really quite fantastic. i plan to take other friends back in the future!

quesadillas, homemade bbq sauce, and mac & cheese!. sounds pretty standard, but not here. those 3 things, and more, make thisplacefantastic! all quesadillas i tried were amazing, especially the the big ugly'dilla. plus, 1/2 priced 'dillas on tuesday and 1/2 priced mac & cheese mondays. you gotta go on those days for sure. highly recommended.

keystone bar & grill has become our company's go-toplacefor celebrations, drinks, and even not so pleasant events like saying goodbye to co-workers who have moved on to different opportunities. i can go here in a large crowd or just for a quick lunch by

thisplaceis right by my work. i am getting tired of eating crappy food for lunch when at work so i made 2 coworkers come here with me. this location has been so many things over the 9 years i've worked in covington it's hard to remember... i saw that th

today i went to keystone bar and grill for lunch. it is located in covington right across the river in a nice little area with a bunch of bar/restaurants around. it has a nice bar feel to it and i could tell it would be a funplaceto be at night. they ha
