COVER 2 - American restaurant in Austin - 13701 Research Blvd, USA

Fantastic place! Great atmosphere, the sports vibe is classic and blends in well without making it feel like you HAVE to be about sports to have a good time. Noah, our server was full of charm, charisma, and solid recommendations. The food was very well prepared, well-dressed, and delicious. Cover 2 is a culinary AND vibe treat for sure.

My husband and I always enjoy coming here! We went to have dinner and watch the Spurs and the food and service were great. Our server Logan did a great job and helped us find a seat with a great view of the game. We split the verde enchiladas, so the pics show a half portion.

Came here for a lunch with my sisters before going to see Barbie. Our server was absolutely fantastic and I wish I remembered his name, I do remember he mentioned he used to be a cook in the back. Good service like that is real hard to find so we were thrilled. Our food was top notch and our drinks were DELICIOUS, even the mocktail. Atmosphere is honestly super boring and plain, but I'll come back for good food and service!

Cover 2 is a solid place. Nothing spectacular but nothing to shake a stick at. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Lots of TVs playing a variety of sports shows. The staff was very friendly. What knocked a star off was that even though the waiter asked if we wanted bleu cheese on our dish he did miss some people. In case you’re wondering, bleu cheese is gross and people only eat it because they think it’s fancy. It’s not. It’s moldy cheese. That’s what you’re eating. But you’re coming here for the food, so let’s get to it. I’ll go with the best and work our way down. We started off with fried pickles and OMG they were dope as hell! Super hot. Crispy. Salty. The breading had tons of flavor. Easily the best thing we had. Maybe I was expecting everything else to be as special which is why I was let down a bit. I got the Reuben. I gotta tell ya, before a month ago I never had a Reuben. So, I made my own. That means I made my own sauerkraut and Russian dressing. Everything else was store bought. I freaking loved it! That’s why I wanted to try a professional chef’s version of it. You know what? It wasn’t all that great. It was leaking something. The corned beef wasn’t that good and there was little of it. The sauerkraut was a bit too sour. I don’t even think I noticed any Swiss cheese on it. The rye bread was soggy. If I were hungry and needed something to fill my belly, I’d be okay with it. The fries come with Parmesan on them and you can request it taken off. They’re really thin so they got cold fast. If you’re gonna have thin fries, make them at least as thick as McDonalds. They were just slightly crunchy potato strings. As far as the other dishes, everyone seemed okay with them. Nobody was jumping with joy at what they got. Everything was cooked and was edible. If you’re in the area and want to watch sports with a group of people and you really don’t care about dining and only want to eat then this would be your place. If you’re looking for a really good food experience, there are plenty of other options in the area. Seeing as how I’m not particularly a sports fan there’s a good chance I won’t be going back. Still though, it’s food. It’s not bad. But it could be a whole lot better.

Great atmosphere, great food (loved the dynamite shrimp bowl!!), the drink was great, (ordered the house frozen margarita), the Big Ole Brownie was awesome, will be back.

Cover 2 is always a fun time. The food and service are consistently good and they have plenty of TVs with sports always on. I particularly like their flatbreads and the beer selection. Never had a bad meal or experience here and it’s nice to have them in the neighborhood.

We had several Cover 3 gift cards and decided to use it and dine in at Cover 2. We had a fantastic server named Chris - he was very cordial and attentive. The food was delicious, fresh and came with great portions. Love me some fried options every now and then but I also liked that they offered more healthier options on their menu.

Cover 2 is incredible!! Food was delicious! There were plenty of TVs. Tables felt spacious and not to squished. The service was great and a friendly environment. There seemed to be plenty of parking. I definitely recommend checking it out if you have never been and you’re in the area!
