So where is it so I don't go there by mistake!!

I am pretty sure that the restaurants featured like the Cove, pay to have this write up. I am with a couple of others who have written here. We took an out-of-town guest down to the Cove after hearing a lot of positive things and after seeing on TV. We were disappointed. Hot, kind of dirty, outside not well taken care of. If you like the food very spicy hot, you might like the food. Glad we experienced but we probably will not go back again. As for "best place in town"? Maybe, if you haven't been to many places.

Like joflo said, it is just the way a lot of people like it. This article is a double edged sword just as the Texas Monthly article was. Brings so many people in that the regulars can't in. Best place in town? Not in my opinion but one of the best and a fun place if you like the eclectic atmosphere and we do!

bobemac...The Cove is just the way we like it... So tell all "your" friends to avoid it; let it remain an undiscovered treasure for the rest of us. We thank you.

Let me guess, bobemac- you drove in from some paved, big box store, cookie cutter 'hood a la Stone Oak/Alamo Ranch, amirite??

Last year my wife and I traveled to the Cove. We had read an article in Texas Monthly on hamburgers. The Cove is a dive. The place is hot, messy, and the food is not very good. Maybe if I had a drink of whatever the OP had, the Cove might appear as she wrote. Sadly, the Cove is a place to e avoided.

I go to The Cove for fish tacos and shrimp tacos. The fact that they use local and environmentally conscious suppliers is a bonus.
