★★★★★ 5.0 R “Lady” G · May 2025

The sandwiches were out very quickly once ordered and they hit the spot. Both were tasty. The chips are a bag of Wise potato chips, not very fancy. The coconut cream pie is worth trying, very creamy and delicious.

★★★★★ 5.0 Adam Haroz · Dec 2025

This place is great!!! The food hits the spot just right (good flavor and light but fills you up well). The servers were very nice. We ended up eating here multiple days for lunch while working in the area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Trail Heads · Feb 2020

Loved this place. Don't be fooled by the front, the inside is very clean and cozy. I had a loaded potato ans it was awesome and very filling. Service was surprisingly quick and very courteous. They were very accurate at taking and filling your order even when you have special requests. The food tastes fresh and I think the dressing was made there.

I absolutely LOVE The Hattie! I just started eating chicken salad last year and had tried it at a few places. It was okay. But then I tried it here and wow!! I regretted never having come here to eat it all of these years. It’s truly AMAZING! It’s a simple recipe and not overpowering. Pair it with a soda and chips and it’s the perfect combo! I love it so much and can’t wait to go back and get another! Definitely check out this hole in the wall spot in Covington, VA!

★★★★★ 5.0 Gary Messmer · Oct 2018

Congrats, you just found the best place for lunch in Covington, VA! Food is fresh and most items home made. I had a trip to The Courthouse and was found guilty - guilty of enjoying it! My wife enjoyed a baked potato with mozzarella draped bacon. Great ambience in an 1800's house, friendly staff, and more than reasonable prices. Eat here soon, and often!!!
