    Came here for brunch and to watch the CFP selection show on ESPN. So many things went wrong. Cover 3 used to be a great place for good food and to watch sports, but no more. First off I just gotta say that 11 AM is a terrible time to open for Sunday brunch. And if you’re going to go ahead and open late like that, you need to be on the ball right away. There was a long line to get people seated, they clearly just were not ready. Once we were seated, we had to ask someone for brunch menus as we were given regular menus. We asked to be seated where they would be showing the CFP selection show on ESPN and they told us it was on the TV that was showing an infomercial. It took forever for us to be waited on and longer than that before they finally changed the channel to ESPN with the show already in progress. Of course this isn’t a football game so a lot of the action is actually in the dialogue. Plenty of places turn on close captioning so you can read the dialogue but not Cover 3. So we asked someone to do that but it never happened. About an hour into the show someone came by and said they couldn’t turn on the captioning, but they would be turning up the volume in the restaurant to ESPN. That never happened either. Really disappointed because we missed all the excitement of the Longhorns getting selected for their first CFP spot . On top of all that our food was served cold. Wish we had just gone to our favorite taco joint for breakfast tacos instead. 11 AM on a Sunday and the place was literally more than half empty. I understand why.

    Not a fan of how they took our party and split it in half where nobody could talk. Also took 30 minutes for anyone to ask us what we want to drink. Frustrating trip

    We were hoping our last bad experience at Cover 3 was a fluke so we decided to try again. Sadly, another favorite has gone downhill. We were seated for a full thirty minutes before we were served our drinks, not even water, even though we ordered right when we sat down. We also put in an appetizer with the drinks, which took 35 minutes and we had to send it back as it had obviously been sitting and was cold. Overall service was slow even though the restaurant was half empty, and none of the food came out hot. Very disappointing for the price. We won’t be going back.

    We chose to have brunch at the start of the Texas-Arkansas football game. We were pleased the volume was turned up so we could hear the announcers. That’s why I rated the volume level as high. It’s usually much quieter. These may have been the best migas I ever had! We are becoming regulars here because the food and service are always great and the price is reasonable.

    One TV needs replacing. It is missing the red part of the color spectrum. Otherwise, all good!

    It had been years since I've been there. It did not disappoint! Beef tenderloin sliders and shrimp bowl were delicious. Martinis were ice cold.
