COMFORT by the Cross-Eyed Cricket
HANDS DOWN the BEST barbeque in the Southern IN area. This isn't technically in IN but it's just a hop skip and a jump from Evansville, IN. Homer's will always have my heart. The ribs fall right off the bone and THE best I have ever had. Nothing comp...
Homer's Barbecue
This is a super popular joint on Franklin St. in Evansville. I personally think it's kind of overrated… butttt catch them on a good day and the overall dining experience is pretty fun. I do love the fun twist on the classic Nashville hot chicken sand...
Bad Randy's Hot Chicken & BBQ Lounge
Okay, I LOVE this restaurant. All of the dips are amazing and the burrito bowls are literally to D!E for! This is such a fun spot to visit on a date night with your honey or a night out with the girls!
Noche Cantina & Cocina
I think this restaurant is such a chill, low key vibe and I personally love those types of restaurants. I don't much appreciate the hustle and bustle anymore. I took my hubby out here for his birthday and it was perfectly romantic and low key. A litt...
The Collective - A Public House
If you're one for scenery and love a good charcuterie board, I really love Copper House as an early dinner/lunch spot. It's very charming and nature-like atmosphere make it such an inviting restaurant. The building used to be a brewery so it is a ver...
Copper House Fare + Libations
I'm German by blood and this food makes me feel sooooo at home… even though I've never been to Germany LOL. This is a MUST on your list for Evansville's many unique and local restaurants. The beer list is endless and the food is TOP notch.
Gerst Bavarian Haus
I really do love some italian food. Smitty's is a super popular restaurant on the Evansville's west side and it really is popular for a reason. The pasta, the steak, the eggplant…. you can't go wrong with any of it.
Smitty's Italian Steakhouse Restaurant Evansville, Indiana
This smalltown cafe is easily my favorite restaurant… EVER. Yes, I mean that. They serve meditteranean food that is so authentic and fresh and… amazing. Give me Shwarma or give me death… isn't that the saying???
Café Arazu
My husband and I love going here for a quick date night. They have everything from detroit style pizza to thai drunken noodles. All of it is made from scratch and oh oh oh soo good… don't forget to stop and get some macaroons or gelato on your way ou...
Pangea Kitchen
This little riverside restaurant has NO business being as good as it is. My husband and I had the best Reuben sandwich we've ever had in our lives at this quaint place. Don't sleep on this restaurant, there's lots more to offer!
Robert’s By The River | Restaurant & Bar
This little authentic Italian restaurant SERVES. Period. You cannot visit Evansville without at least trying this once. When an Italian owns a restaurant, it's guaranteed to be good!
Angelo's
When you grow up around here you really can't avoid classic catfish frys…. The Knob has THE BEST bone in catfish. Honestly, everything on the menu is awesome from the crispy buffalo wings to the kraut balls.
Knob Hill Tavern - Newburgh
Local pizza and beer!? This pizza joint is so good… so good that we have three different locations! They brew their own beer and make their own pizza. It's a perfect, crispy thin crust, loaded with toppings kind of pizza.
Turoni's | Pizzery & Brewery
If you're looking for a special night out where cost isn't any issue, I love this cute little fusion restaurant. You will not find a more upscaled experience here. Every dish is made to absolute perfection.
Madeleine's Fusion Restaurant
