“Went yesterday morning. Was glad we did. We got the Bacon Platter with HOMEMADE Blueberry Jam!!! AMAZING!! Wil definitely go back!”
“Some of the most authentic and delicious Mexican food I’ve ever had! They are big on supporting the community and being inclusive too!”
“Absolutely delicious! I got a smoothie the first time I went and fell in love. I had never had an açaí bowl before, so next time that’s what I got. The man kindly answered my questions and gave me recommendations. It was SO GOOD! I love that you see all the fresh fruit and other ingredients out, so you know what you’re getting. I’m already addicted. They are surprisingly very filling too!”
“Ordered here for the first time for my lunch break…Loved that they had a carry out option but online ordering was confusing. I ordered the smash burger which was amazing!! But online it shows it comes with fries and side salad and ask for customizations of those but once we received our food it was just a single burger. I called to explain this to the restaurant and whoever I talked to was very nice and friendly but it ended in an “oh well” situation. Just a system mistake and not willing to fix it which in my opinion could have just been a better experience. Will probably avoid carry out or online ordering here in the future but the burger was enjoyable.”
“This is a very interesting and unique restaurant! It's very clear that there was much time and consideration taken to build this menu! The best way to experience this restaurant, is to go with a group and to share everything! The appetizers of ahi tuna, karaage, and pork goyza are all delicious! We also ordered pork and chicken ramen, which were also very good.
Make sure to leave room for the honey toast as a desert.Very unique and delicious!”
“A friend brought in a couple of boxes in for us to work. I have to say decadent... that is absolutely the best cake I have ever had in 59 years. It was spice cake I think..... the cookies looked just as good. Just hope there is something else left for me to try.”
“The coffee is quality. They have some fun drink options a d combination. The food is just as good as their drinks! You definitely have to try both.
The staff has been very friendly everytime I've been there.
If you're a music lover, you'll love the vibe.”
“Amazing! So clean and beautifully decorated with great seating! The teas are amZing!!”
“Very welcoming, very Peru! Enjoyable. will be back soon.”
“My absolute favorite restaurant! Always so clean, welcoming, and delicious. You won’t be disappointed with the variety of fresh fish and vegetables or the friendly staff that helps you create something unique every time. A hidden gem that you do NOT want to miss!”
“Had no clue Indiana had pizza this good until finding Pangea Kitchen, everything was amazing with great service to top of the fantastic food!!! It won’t be long on the return trip to Evansville!!!”
“First time customer. Pizza is tasty. The crust is crispy/ flaky, lots of vegetables and meat. The cheese bread was good too.. I would recommend and would go back again.. this place is very small inside, pick up and go .”
“Nice hidden gem. Very cool place to chill. Drinks were top-notch, and our drinks were wonderful.
We enjoyed our cigars and drinks in the loft area.
The bar area was so nice. I highly recommend coming here!!! No smoking in the bar if you didn't want to be around the cigar smoke .”
“Despite the place being incredibly busy, our party of six was seated in less than 10 minutes. We were immediately greeted by our server, Oliver, who was exceptionally attentive. He kept us informed when he was assisting other tables and always returned promptly. Oliver even read back our orders to ensure there would be no mistakes. I cannot say enough about Oliver and his impeccable service. He truly made our dining experience outstanding.”
“Awesome place,love the atmosphere and very friendly! Glad I discovered this place!”

“The food was delicious and the cocktail were amazing as well.”
“The lamb masala (spice level 2) was excellent; sweet and savory with a little heat! It paired very well with the garlic naan. Our waiter was very nice and patient while answering my questions about the dishes! Will definitely return!”
“I do not have pictures to share because our plates are clean and bellies are full. My husband and I absolutely love this place and it NEVER disappoints. Appetizer portions are large, salads are extremely fresh, and our gyro and chicken shawarma plates are always delicious and seasoned to perfection. We usually order it to go, but any employee we talk to is friendly and makes sure we have everything we need. Prices are understandable considering the quality and portions you are given, and we are already looking forward to the next time we visit.”
“Food was delicious! Peyton was an awesome waitress. We will be back!”
“I came here a few years ago and it’s totally different, new decor, new foods, and the owner is really friendly! I ordered their new dish, “Crazy Spicy Chicken”. If u like spicy, and Traditional food, you must try it! It’s highly recommended. I will definitely come back because i found my new favorite food❤️?”
“I have been to this restaurant at least 50 times since it opened. It is definitely the best seafood restaurant in the area. After all of my meals the only thing that I would change is the spinich. The staff should go next door to Biaggi's and replicate their spinich which is awesome. Bonefish is my wife's favorite Evansville restaurant.”
“I recommend anyone who lost their money to an online scam to contact wiki support to help get your money or bitcoin back. Email: Wikihelpdesks@ gmail. com Telegram: @ wikihelpdesk”
“This was the best Korean food I've had since being in Korea in 1983. The mandu was authentic and tasted like back in the day mandu. I've been searching for that for a long time. Most places say mandu and it end up being that frozen Costco stuff. The Bimbap was delicious and had ample beef. I had to come all the way from Indianapolis to find good authentic Korean food. And the posters remind you of the vill in Dongducheon ,South Korea.”
“I’ve been to Grand Buffet since the early 2010’s. The staff is very friendly to me and the food is good! I will continue giving Grand Buffet my business as long as I live in this area. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Its 100 percent without a doubt the best fried chicken in any town. I love to buy the whole wings half dozen at a time with just some packs texas Pete's hot sauce. They are incredible. Seasoned well and super crispy. My mouth is actually watering right now hahahah. I only get the chicken but many people like the honey biscuits and potato wedges too. Give it try and you'll understand. GAS STATION CHICKEN! SO GOOD!”
“Delicious filet and pork chops. Arabian salad is a must. Outstanding service and reasonable prices.”
“Y little girl always has such a wonderful time visiting Chuck E Cheese! Chuck E comes out every hour and dances with the kids and stays for pictures. The employees are great at customer service and keeping the kids happy.”

“Love this place! We had never been and just stopped by after a long day with a party of 7. We were initially told it would be a 25 minute wait (still better than other places). We were fine to wait as we didn’t want to keep driving around. They got us seated in less than 5 min! The service was great! Food was amazing! I would definitely recommend trying this place. Best Italian food I’ve had.”
“Best cheese bread on the planet pizza and Stromboli definitely check it out”
“Thomas is the general manager, he took my order, made my food and lifted my spirits today. His attitude was joyful and inviting. I will be a regular customer of Penn Station because the food was great and the service was even greater.”
“There’s a comfortable feeling as soon as you enter. The only thing that outshines our hot and tasty carry-out is the genuine rapport that the staff has with every customer, even me and I’m new. Don’t let the afore mentioned minimize the value. The prices make a nice tip easy. Get you some!”
“Great spot, awesome food, service has all that southern charm and kindness, love it, will go back!!
I had the Rueben sandwich, it was very tasty, I added fries for an additional $2, and added a soda, comes with a pickle spear. I also added a cherry pie for an additional $3.66. my bill with tip was $23.

Kid-friendliness: There's plenty of kid friendly menu items. There were 4 children with there father.”

“We love the food and waitresses at FD. Went there today for breakfast. Been to the new north side restaurant and had biscuits and gravy. Had to pay $3 for a small bowl of gravy at the north restaurant. Their biscuit was served with just enough gravy to cover the biscuit, not enough. The Friendship Diner are generous with their gravy, much better. Love their food.”
“We had to hire for our wedding EXTREMELY last minute. they worked quickly and helped in anyway possible! the bartenders were amazing and very personable!”
“The place never disappoints. Food is always great. I dig the retro atmosphere. One of the best ice cream places in town. Go here instead of dairy Queen next door. You won't regret it”

“My first time trying the birra pizza and let me tell you..It was delicious and filling..If you like birra taco you will definitely like the birra pizza and they make that joint fresh..I will most definitely be back..”
“It’s a great place to eat .. I will say I was unhappy with service.. I booked the event room .. explain Arrival time was 815-830.. so when guest started to arrive at exactly 815 the room was not ready at all .. every table was filled with dishes. I had approx 20 people five or take I told them on the phone that morning.. they finally got 2 sets of 2 tables that comfortably was set up in the main dining room as 4 to table they crammed 10 chairs to these tables.. when I asked for another set of tables to be cleaned our server wouldn’t speak to me but rolled her eyes so I went to talk to someone else.. when they approached her with me she told me that she was my server. And she still has not started cleaning tables instead she told me there were 20 chairs total at those tables.. I had to get upset and told her we were crammed and everyone unhappy and told her I wanted 2 more tables cleaned.. PLEASE!!! Finally she did with an attitude and goin so slow like it killed her.. she was prob 25yr old .. then she sat out on her phone and I had to get up and get her if we needed drinks or anything. It would been a great night if had a good server.”
“amazing food. I would definitely recommend this to any burger lover”
“From the moment you enter this gem of a coffee shop you step away from the busy of your day. Stopped in for breakfast while traveling and was not disappointed. Hospitable staff, entree cooked to our request (with reasonable pricing I might add), and the coffee was rich and satisfying. The staff, casual atmosphere, serene decor, no blaring music, good food, good coffee, are all reasons I’ve already recommended visiting here to friends who are in Evansville often.”

“We live in Columbus Indiana and go to the local Culvers a few times a month but we were in Evansville Saturday night and as we were heading back to Columbus we hadn't eaten so we drove through this Culvers. Everything was pretty decent except there was an abundance of salt on my onion rings. Who puts salt on onion rings??? I had to scrape it off just to eat them. Is it just me or has fast food service gone in the toilet the last few years?”
“I used them for a catering order and they had great customer service. When I called them about something wrong with my order they fixed it right away and brought extra! Thank you so much!”
“I was happy with the experience. It's fast food pasta, so food wise, it's meh. If you eat in, they still have unlimited breadsticks. Prices are reasonable for the portions. They have drink fountains as well. The staff was prompt and kind. The dining and restroom areas were clean. No complaints. They have decent prices for large family meals, too. The kids love the breadsticks. Thank you!
Dietary restrictions: Some gluten sensitive but NOT gluten-free required individual options.
Kid-friendliness: Yes. They love unlimited breadsticks”
“I am a Jeeper, so you know I had to go enjoy one of these Koala drinks to get my free outback duck! It was an amazing drink! My burger & fries were delicious also.The bartender, Jada working was the most friendly young lady, and the host was also very friendly, as was all of the other workers.”
“The salad bar was wonderful; Got there and thought the wait was going to be awhile but we were seated rather quickly! We will be back”
Cheap Eats
“It was very nicely decorated, and the people were super friendly. I'm picky about my bbq and was thrilled when the Texas Torpedo ( loaded potato) came out. IT WAS HUGE! And so very tasty LOVED it! My friend ordered the pork plate so I tried the potato salad it was also great! And I don't know about you but most places just do not have good sides. And everything I had was excellent. I will definitely go back alot.
Parking: It's located in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking.

We had Cierra to assist us and she was more than helpful and helped us decide by suggesting a few of her favs and we now have our own favs!
Last time we were there our service was not that great so having someone like her this time made us miss not coming in lately from past experiences!
Big top is where it’s at!!!!
Kid-friendliness: I have a 5 year whom was made to feel right at home right away and Cierra as well suggested the chili to him so of course he had to have it and loves it now!”
“We went to visit the River Kitty Cat Cafe three times while we were in town. We had a great experience each time. There was a cat advocate volunteer in there each time to make sure the cats were comfortable. The coffee, macarrones, and protein shakes were tasty. The staff and cat advocates were knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in town.”
“Ordered a tres leches cake for my birthday after seeing someone else post about them - it was absolutely delicious! Worth the drive from Owensboro. The owner was super friendly and just walking in everything smelled incredible. Will definitely stop in next time I’m back in town! :) thanks for making my birthday so great!”
“great atmosphere and food! so happy to have an Irish place in town again!”
“this was my second visit to this restaurant which completely changed my opinion of it.and this time the meal was very delicious, I will go again with my family. First time was horrible experience.”

“It was lush. People were super nice. I enjoyed it!”
“The food and service was great. Enjoyed the music. May want to take a dust rag to the window sill and clean the windows as well...it's most of what you see as you enjoy the sunset. We would go back.”
“The waitress was helpful and attentive to our questions about dealing with allergies. Thanks for that. However I wouldn't say their food is all that tasty. Rather bland. Still, they give you a decent portion. Mixed bag.”
“Food is pretty good for what it is, a quick serve at a casino.... they have a pretty good selection for breakfast, the burrito is good, just make sure you ask for a couple of salsa cups cause they dont offer them to you. Everything is overpriced but what do you expect? I always use comps so its a great price ? Lunch and dinner menu is decent as well. Potato soup is good, side salads are good, Supreme pizza is good and so is the lucky chili dog. Cheesecake isnt nearly as good as what they charge for it. Been here several times, The employees there are NEVER friendly. Place could be cleaner. And maybe it's just me but the chairs look like toilet seats ?”
“I've been a patron of Hacienda on First Avenue in Evansville IN for43 years! This restaurant is as close to authentic Mexican cuisine in Evansville, in my opinion.
The only reason for the 4-star rating for the atmosphere is that I prefer smaller or cozy dining areas. Being older in age, dining with families with children is difficult for my husband and I to have a conversation.
We usually start our meal with a fountain drink and chili con queso. The chips are thin and lightly salted. They are sturdy enough for the cheese dip, however. They offer two sizes of dip, a cup, or a bowl. This is nice based on what your entree will be.
We are creatures of habit with regard to our meal choices, but we always look at the wide variety of appetizers, salads, and entrées. Hacienda offers new menu items often, which our daughter enjoys trying. She has never been dissaentrée.
I highly recommend this restaurant on First Avenue as well as the east side location
Wheelchair accessibility: The spacing of the doors will accommodate standard wheelchairs. Neither location needs ramps.”
“Service and food was great. Great little place to eat.”
“Staff was friendly and the food was good. It was a little cold in the building but that’s ok. I was most pleased with my children’s meals, because my kids can occasionally be slightly picky. My son got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with real nuts and real strawberry on Texas toast. It made me wish that I had ordered one. And my daughter got a grilled cheese which she loved. Me and my wife enjoyed our burgers and I recommend the onion rings. The ice cream was delicious as always.”
“The company I work for uses Smitty's occasionally for work events. Yesterday we had a miscommunication, and when we got there to set up for our event they didn't know we were coming. Katie and the rest of the crew went above and beyond to quicly set up the private room and accommodate our 25 guests. I don't believe there is another restaurant in town that would have pulled this off for us, and Smitty's staff did it with grace and good humor. As always, the food and service were outstanding. Thank you, Katie, and the rest of the staff for helping to make our evening a great success!”
“I had never visited the east side location, because I was under the impression it was not as good as their downtown location. Boy were we wrong. The food is just as good and the location is much more convenient.”
“Omg the food was so good it was hot and fresh and our waitresses was great and very friendly will deff go back
Wheelchair accessibility: I am in a chair and it was so easy to load and unload”
“Applebee's gets a lot of undeserved hate. Their wings are good, every burger I've had has been good, and they have occasional $1 margarita events. You can't beat a $1 marg!”

“Hardees on Boeke is my favorite place to go eat. Whether it is breakfast or lunch, the food is always fresh and correct. The manager there is super friendly and I have always seen nice to her staff. Even when they are short handed you would never know. She zips around and gives great service .”
“3/8/24 carry out. My fried chicken was in a paper box so cold when I got home. Please go back to plastic container. Thanks”
“It's the best! Even the floors and dishes are super clean! Must have a good busser and dishwasher on Sundays”
“Although the “private” dining room isn’t actually private, yet doable for a party a total of 14. My food delicious and I didn’t hear complaints from others. My only disappointment was the ladies’ room. Certainly not updated since the 50s, 60s, perhaps the 70s. The latch on door wasn’t easy to lock or unlocked…. No longer as vintage within as other areas. A little sad.”
“What a wonderful experience after the noise and bling of casino madness! A quaint; quiet dose of southern hospitality and great food at reasonable prices. I’ll be back if I ever come back to Evansville, IN”
“Westside's best kept secret. Their stromboli is excellent, comparable to both Pizza King and Spanky's Una-pizza. Bartenders and the owner are top notch locals with plenty of good conversation. I highly encourage a visit.”
