“Dontae's has the best pizza in town in my opinion! Everything is so fresh and his pizzas are culinary masterpieces! I literally cannot wait to try the new deep dish. He is the type of business owner that puts his heart and soul into the food and it shows! If you're wondering if you should give Dontae's a try this is your sign! You won't be disappointed.”

“Literally the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever visited. Everything I have tried has been so good. I travel over two hours just for the food!”

“Really cool 😎 joint and great menu. We go for the food and atmosphere.”

“Delicious surprise! We greatly enjoyed each part of our meal, and I especially recommend the cashmere naan bread! I’d go back just to order it. An intimate friendly atmosphere and the service is top notch and attentive.”

“amazing food and experience!”

“Our food was absolutely fire 🔥 We had the Whiskey glazed chicken sliders with seasoned fries and Chicken Alfredo w/garlic breadstick. Our boy had an order of Mashed Taters all were super delicious!!!! Our waiter Evan was amazing, so attentive getting us everything we needed and providing us with a great experience!”

“I set out on an adventure to find the best holiday coffee. With the new coffee places popping up, I figured I’d give them a try.. I’m a frequent customer of honeymoon on a normal day.. I tried parlor, Starbucks, donut bank, Dutch Bro’s.. scooters was on the list.. but I’m done wasting my money.. honeymoon is by far the best place to get coffee! Support your local businesses people!! Honeymoon coffee, keep taking my money 🙌🏼”

“This place is seriously awesome! I go there tons with bunches of my friends and we always have a great time! I also love how it’s connected to a thrift store, so you can shop while you drink/eat! I would absolutely recommend mission grounds for your next coffee run!”

“Came here for the first time yesterday with my husband for our anniversary. Food and drinks were amazing. Friendly service in a quiet, cute atmosphere! We are ready to come back again”

“Had my first real coffee here almost 25 years ago. It was a double Shot In The Dark/Black Eye and it was outstanding. Still to this day, after having been to numerous coffee shops throughout numerous cities, it is still the best Shot in the Dark I've ever had. Penny Lane has great a vibe with plenty of atmosphere and culture.”

“Amazing Owners! Food was amazing. Owner recommended something new for me to try “sesame balls” and it exceeded expectations. Everything is always fresh and delicious!”

“Went for the first time today. The food was plentiful and delicious. The service was friendly and excellent. I will definitely go again. I can’t wait to try another dish. The menu is full of delicious sounding food.”

“My wife and I ate here for the first time today. I ate the fried shrimp and it was amazing. She ate the Monte Cristo and loved it! Our server was Destiny and she was the best! She even made my wife a special drink she asked for. Definitely will return!”

“Rhys was an amazing waiter and the food and drinks were amazing as well. Could not recommend enough!”

“One of the true MVPs of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine in the Evansville area. We dined in with our (wild) 2 year old, and 6 year old, children today and sincerely could have not been more pleased. The atmosphere was top-notch. Arabic music videos playing on the television and tons of informational and educational materials about countries of the Middle East region were present and available for us to look at during our wait for some of THE BEST food we've had in Evansville. The lovely couple who own the business were beyond hospitable and accommodating. We ordered the You Pick Two with a selection of shish tawook and merguez. The chicken (shish tawook) was SO incredibly tender and flavorful, not to mention how incredibly juicy it was! The merguez sausage was grilled to perfection. It was our first time trying this dish and it did not disappoint. Perfectly seasoned and spiced, I will definitely be ordering this again-SOON! Basmati aromatic rice was incredible coupled with the meats. The hummus was in my top 2 for Evansville eateries, and possibly tied for first, depending on the mood at any given time. Definitely give the Turkish coffee a try! And the kids LOVED the chocolate mousse. On top of having some of the very best Mid Eastern food I've sampled thus far, I was surprised that the French fries were undoubtedly the very best I've ever had. I don't rank 10/10 for a lot of things, but Kabob Express gets that from me today! Will DEFINITELY be back ASAP 💕 🥰 😋 🤤”

“Best sushi in Evansville.”

“Very good and fresh! very friendly staff!!”

“Food was delicious! Peyton was an awesome waitress. We will be back!”

“My mom and I visited for the first time today. I have recently been diagnosed with alpha gal and was nervous eating out, but the waitress and kitchen were extremely accommodating. they took time to listen and write down my allergies as well as deliver exceptionally good food. Will definitely be back!”

“I keep seeing the staff park by the door and right in front the restaurant. We keep having to park in the parking lot a few rows down. My 93 year old mother would love the few less steps to the restaurant. I would have loved one of those closer spots when I broke my foot. Why are those closer parking spots for the staff and not for customers? I find that strange. The staff I see parking close seem to walk just fine and are not loading items. They just seem to be leaving for the night. Please designate the closer parking spots for customers and not just for staff and waiters only. Thank you.”

“Enjoyed lunch yesterday and the service and food were both excellent! We ordered the Paneer Manchurian, Chicken Sukka, House Special Chicken Curry, Bullet Naan, Garlic Naan, and Cheese Garlic Naan. Everything was delicious but truthfully cannot stop thinking about the Paneer Manchurian.”

“They have the best lo mein of any restaurant I've ever eaten at. The general tso's is very good. They have the more crab flavor rangoons so if that is your thing, there ya go. I personally prefer the sweeter ones but this is personal preference and not a failing on the restaurant's part so it has not affected my score. Everything I've had has been very good to excellent.”

“Great Restaurant Downtown. Food was great-no complaints. Will be returning! 9-17”

“Delicious food and cocktails!!!”

“Great service! This place had the best Stromboli that we’ve ever eaten, and the pizza was absolutely fantastic! We highly recommend!”

“i had Breea as a server and she did great! she communicated with us about waits and always made sure we had what we needed, my drink was never empty and she even brought a bag with her when we asked for boxes! i definitely recommend her when coming to eat here. Thanks Breea for treating us well. Also the steak with mushroom and onions were to die for”

“Food is absolutely awesome so good fresh a little expensive but you leave feeling full and satisfied. Everything is made from scratch. The environment is clean and beautiful.”

“Great service, great food, the place was clean, I’m very impressed with my experience here! Will definitely be returning!”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“This is speaking from 2 years in hospitality and having been formally trained. I never review restaurants. My server at a Dennys is the only reason I am posting. His name is Dakota, a kid probably still in high school. This is Thanksgiving night, and the kitchen is behind. He is joking, upselling, creating atmosphere, checking on food (2min 2 bites IYKYK), investing in customers, and helping others who are not his tables. If im ever In this area again I hope he won't be there because he is probably going to be doing bigger and better things. Great job man.”

“We like to come to Danny's for breakfast and dinner! it doesn't matter 2 more hours of gym 💪. 🤭 the breakfast with bacon and pancakes is highly recomendad. improvement recommendation: cleaning”

“First time visit here. Everyone and everything was on the up and up. Food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. They made you feel welcomed.

Wish my local Owensboro IHop was as congenial, friendly and welcoming.”

“BK is offering a $7.00 trio meal deal. I was able to order three original chicken sandwiches and they were all made fresh. I also enjoyed a size order of the Jalapeño Cheddar Bites.”

“Another great Taco Bell location in Evansville, Indiana. It is really easy to find using Google Maps. They have great service here and the food is just the way you want it, fast and good. The restaurant is kept clean. You can now order from their kiosk or use their drive through window. There is plenty of free parking in their large lot.”

“Great ice cream and great service. I highly recommend them.”

“I had a great Grapefruit IPA recommended by our waitress. Great environment, AMAZING food. We are up this way several times a year. We will be back!!! If you are on the north side of Evansville almost to 64, stop in...you will love Pips!!!”

“Oh my goodness I'm not gonna lie I was super skeptical on trying this but oh man I have no regrets everything was absolutely amazing and so unique! The lady who waited on us was so sweet and informational. 1000/10 recommend! 👌🏽 We will most definitely be back!”

“I stopped by Be Happy to get some treats and was offered a raisin oatmeal cookie for my birthday. Guess where I'm going tomorrow to get a dozen of the best raisin oatmeal cookies around!!!”

“Best pizza place in the tri-state area. The hole-in-the-wall mom and pop operation that destroys everyone else. Like eating pizza made on a cracker. Get the house pizza.”

“It was good vibe but not at all what I thought I was walking into it. Don’t go in thinking it’s a pottery studio because it is definitely not. Very misleading name but for sure recommend. I repeat, absolutely NO pottery involved. Not a pottery studio for some reason. Still confused.”

“Not a review person, but was blown away with service today and felt the need to reflect on it. Tom’s customer service was unbelievable. My wife and I are frequent visitors here, and have never seen Tom before but he was very polite, direct, and helpful. Saw a previous review saying he should be manager soon, and I’m not certain if he is this locations manager, but he is someone who should be a face for Penn Station. Very very respectful person. Tom, thank you for the wonderful experience, sandwiches, and fries!!”

“Breakfast was superb. Every item prepared perfectly. Waitress was very helpful and kind.”

“Took the whole family for a post workout treat on 812 day! Laine always serves up the best drinks!”

“We LOVE this place! A great place for real authentic Italian fine cuisine food. We eat here quite a bit! The wine is amazing and the service is outstanding! We actually met the owner and he is an amazing guy. He actually interact with his customers! The environment is wonderful and we love to sit outside at dusk on Main St. to enjoy the city ambience along with the way Angelos have their setup. Highly recommend if your looking for good Italian food and service in the downtown area of Evansville!”

“This is some good pizza....”

“This is the second cake I’ve ordered for a baby shower and they did an amazing job! Not only was the cake super cute, but it was delicious! Everyone loved it! Pics in the comments 🫶”

“Phenomenal food and drinks and such a laid-back atmosphere with excellent service! Highly recommend.”

“This is some good pizza....”

“Some of my earliest childhood memories are of going to Merry Go Round with my grandparents, where we were always treated with the kind of warmth and hospitality you never forget. I can still remember getting lost in the charm of it all — the diner feel that nodded back to its early days, the carousel horses proudly displayed at every angle, and of course, the unforgettable cooking — especially the spaghetti.

Over the years, we made so many memories there. When my grandma passed away three years ago, I found myself thinking of that place often — how special it was to us both. I couldn’t bring myself to go back, not without her. Merry Go Round wasn’t just a restaurant to her — it was a part of her story. She used to tell me how her own mother once worked there. Her loyalty to that little diner kept our family coming back for generations.

Today, I finally gathered the courage to see if the doors were still open — and to my joy, they were. With my children in hand, off we went. Walking through those doors felt like stepping back home. The familiar warmth met us immediately — smiling faces, genuine hospitality, and that same sense of belonging that I remembered so well. The carousel horse still stood proudly in the center of the diner, just as it had years ago.

We sat down, and our sweet server brought the boys applesauce and crackers. It made me smile remembering eating the same as a child. I showed the boys how to dip their crackers in the applesauce, explaining how it was the perfect little palate cleanser before the spaghetti. And when the spaghetti arrived, it looked exactly as I remembered. But the taste — the taste brought me right back to sitting beside my grandparents laughing around the table.

After all these years, they’ve stayed true to who they are — honoring their history. It’s rare to find that kind of authenticity anymore with great food to back it up.

To our wonderful server with mother-like hospitality, and to the kind man who greeted us with a smile and great conversation and a clear love for the restaurant — thank you. My heart is full again. Today, I felt my grandma with me — and through that meal, I got to have a little piece of her once more. I will make sure to not be a stranger again. THANK YOU.”

“It's fire. Best tasting food I've ever had. The service is magnificent and the atmosphere is amazing. I really loved it!”

“Our lunch today at Sunrise was amazing !!! I was lucky enough to get the last piece of Mira’s own Shepherds Pie & it was delicious & such a generous piece ; I was able to take home enough for a repeat . Hubby was in-gastronomic heaven with his sausages, scramble eggs & REAL HOME-FRIES , grilled to perfection with onions & followed by raisin toast . It is ALWAYS a treat here at Sunrise Cafe & the service , staff & Mira’s home baked tarts , apple fritters & pies make this a MUST EXPERIENCE. PS: Their Fresh homemade soup is to die for .”

“The grilled chicken sandwich is HUGE and it was DELICIOUS!!! I added avocado 🥑 on mine and it was perfect!!”

The food is consistently delicious. I love the smoked chicken, my husband loves the sausage! The menu offers something for everyone with a wide variety of tasty sides. And... the garlic bread is to die for!

“I’ve been dying to try the Cherry Cola Cold Brew all summer, but since I’m pregnant, I’ve been trying to limit my caffeine. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to enjoy it but the baristas were so kind and thoughtful. They worked through options with me without making it a hassle at all. I legit teared up at how accommodating and supportive they were. And the drink? Absolutely amazing. Thank you for not only making a delicious treat, but for making me feel seen and cared for. It meant more than you know.”

“I set out on an adventure to find the best holiday coffee. With the new coffee places popping up, I figured I’d give them a try.. I’m a frequent customer of honeymoon on a normal day..

Support your local businesses people!! Honeymoon coffee, keep taking my money 🙌🏼”

“Michelle was very friendly and professional. She resolved anything that we were questionable concerning. We were uncertain about some things regarding what we were receiving though she made for sure we received exactly what we wanted and was prompt within her service. The bread sticks were delicious and fresh. The rest of the food we ordered was as well. . Michelle went above and beyond to make sure that we had a truly pleasant experience and was very bubbly and personable. It is hard to come across a person that practices such customer service skills. If we are in the area again we will be sure to stop back through.”

“For some reason, I can never use my rewards if I get an email offering say five dollars off 20. I can't use that and no one at the restaurant. Seems to know what to do. It's very disappointing. The food is delicious. The service is just poor. But I have rewards if I can never use them.”

“The young lady Angela the works upfront is nice. She helped me with my order also the food was amazing.”

“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.”

“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 usually LOVE Cheddars! They have a killer family deal for around $30 that comes with a huge pan of chicken tenders with a large cup of dipping sauce. It also comes with your choice of 2 family-sized sides and 6 croissants. Thats my go-to pickup order. My husband and I were the only ones eating, so we just chose separate meals. Both of our meals this time around were not good at all. I only ate my sides (had to toss most of the country fried steak), and my husband didn't finish his favorite pasta dish (which never happens). I love cheddars, but had a disappointing last visit.”

“Amazing experience (and even with two small toddlers) food was fast, sushi was amazing, and our server was top notch! (Grant) 10/10 experience which seems hard to come by now days! will be bask asap”

“The store was clean & bright. The staff was friendly. I got my desserts quickly & they were absolutely delicious. The other store in Evansville was out of stock of what I wanted so I drove 25 minutes across town to this store, because they had it. Was not disappointed!”

“Ate here today for the first time. The food was excellent. We will definitely go here again. Highly recommend this place.”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“I had so much fun tonight! We sat at the bar and Heath took care of us. Jason and Heath are an awesome duo. The drinks were very good. Heath is hands down one of the best bartenders I've got to meet (I'm a bartender of 20 years). Definitely an asset to the company. Highly recommend and Definitely will return. Thanks for a memorable experience and a great time.”

“Food was good chips was a little bit salty big serving with the family meal food was hot and well worth the money had the steak meal want to try the chicken meal next time.”

“A very very delicious iced caramel latte and 2 Bavarian Cream donuts. My latte was very delicious because I asked for an iced coffee that had lots of caramel...and this did!!”

“I will say me and my husband have ate at Olive Garden many times, but at the new location this was our first time and we had the most amazing experience. From the beginning our server was such a delight she welcomed our table with a smile every time , food was amazing never had to ask for anything once and not to mention we were checked in on couple times by what looked like some sort of manager and other servers all always with a smile and positive attitude, after this expierience I can assure you that we will be comming back and the food was amazing”
