Fetta Specialty Pizza & Spirits 118 St Ann St, Owensboro Pizza • $$
118 St Ann St, Owensboro

“This was our first time visiting. We had Garlic knots as an app and two large pizzas. The garlic knots were delicious though you should ask for garlic butter to dip them in. The Spinach Bruschetta Asiago pizza was the best pizza I've ever eaten! We also ordered a make your own pizza with chicken, sweet onion, pesto, and ricotta. This was also delicious. Fetta is not a cheap place to eat, but I guess you get what you pay for sometimes. Don't forget the Bliss Artisan ice cream for dessert, which was why we chose to try Fetta in the first place.”

“If you were wanting Mexican food, Jordy’s is the place to go bypass the real Hacienda bypass the papa grande come to Jordy‘s. They have one of the best customer service I’ve ever seen. The food is amazing, if you are wanting something sweet try their tres leches cake. It’s delicious and you’ll want it every time you go. They are a small restaurant. Food service is great they get the food out in a very timely manner. Jordy’s is my favorite place to eat at. I highly recommend.”

City Walk of Owensboro 222 Allen St, Owensboro American • $$

“Nice modern decor. Servers were friendly. Catfish was crispy and delicious. Mac n chz was gluey and under seasoned. Noodles cooked well. Strawberry cobbler tasted good, but texture was mushy. Meatloaf was good with a thin layer of the sauce topper. It was really sweet, so a little was perfect. Mashed potatoes with a nice buttery flavor. Green beans had bacon and onions; and were very salty.Wheelchair accessibility: Women's restroom has 2 steps up to get into. Not handicap accessible.”

“Came out on a Saturday to watch Brandon Da Garbage Disposal and A guy Name Eli do there deep dish pizza challenge. Both the guys are on YouTube so go check them out. Had a great time with the kids watching them eat. My boyfriend and I had ordered a taco pizza. It was so tasty. The bottom layer had cheddar cheese and then the taco meat. The top was lettuce and tomato. It came with sour cream and taco sauce so you can put what you want on it. Just want to say YUMMY!!!! The kids had the kids meal with was a personal pizza and a topping of their choice, a bread stick, Oreos for dessert, a drink. No leftovers made it home. I also ordered a Philly sub to split with everyone and they wanted more. They do offer a buffet but I'm not sure when they do so you would have to call to find out. I know I will be back to try it. Come and check them out for great food.”

The Famous Bistro 102 W 2nd St, Owensboro Bistros • $$
102 W 2nd St, Owensboro

“This was our first visit, and it will not be our last. This downtown restaurant was excellent in many ways. The menu selection and special were all appealing. I had the pasta carbonara with crake cake, and my wife had the bourbon chicken. Both were delicious. The server was on the ball, friendly, and very helpful. The only downside was that the place is small and has tightly spaced tables and seating. Friday night, this place was packed, and the sign out front read, "reservations only."”

Mi Ranchito Taqueria 2601 W Parrish Ave, Owensboro Mexican • $$
2601 W Parrish Ave, Owensboro

“You may find Mi Ranchito a little off the beaten path, but it is worth the trip down Carter Road. There is ample parking on both sides of the building. They have a large L-shaped dining room that doesn't feel crowded even with a large party. The menu is quite extensive, so you may want to take a few minutes to look it over. My personal favorite is the chicken fajitas. I don't know what they season them with, but they are perfect!!! If you like it spicy like I do, ask for hot sauce....it's a treat, a little smoky with some good heat!!!! We have always had great, fast service. Oh... did I mention warm chips???”

“Great service, great food, and it’s very clean with a nice atmosphere. It’s never busy when I go there which I like because it’s more quiet and enjoyable.. but I wouldn’t mind if it was more busy because they deserve the business. It’s so good but maybe it’s just a coincidence that not many people are in there when we go.Will be going again for Valentine’s Day I’m sure ?PS if you get spicy food be careful with the levels, don’t go past a 3 unless you can seriously handle serious heat. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya!”
