“I eat at Diamonds once a week, sometimes for breakfast and sometimes for dinner. No matter what I get, it’s always amazingly delicious and well above what you’d expect from a “diner”. Don’t let the word “diner” fool you with this place, because it is high quality food that always presents very well, not to mention… the portions are large as well with most things coming with 2 sides and priced very affordably. The menu is very extensive and has options for any type of craving you might have! Highly recommend!!!“

“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?“

“Best restaurant in Evansville. loaded pancakes is just 1 of my favorites. Lunch, the ribeye steak sandwich is my favorite. there are too many to mention“

“Had Kenny’s for the first time yesterday for breakfast. Service was spot on, drinks were refilled promptly and they operated as a team taking care of each other’s tables. Food and drink prices were great, I loved Libby and Moms and the owners are doing the former business proud in my opinion. Look forward to seeing this restaurant thrive!“

“Great food, excellent waiter!“

“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!“

“Great food and environment!“

“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.“

“Delicious food and cocktails!!!“

“Heavenly Ham almost got me in the dog house with my step mother. She served ham at a family meal as she does each year on specific occasions. Not knowing in advance I let her know that, “Whatever you did to the ham this time was amazing. This is the best ham you have ever served us.” Only to have her tell me she was short on time and ordered the ham from Heavenly Ham. The ham was a winner, me, not so much!“

“Good food friendly staff and helpful with ordering for the first time.“

“Absolutely great food and experience. Out waiter Joe was the best“

“Food was amazing. The store was clean. My fries were fresh, the music was amazing. I could not praise this place enough. I do not eat burgers im just not a fan. I think this was the first time ever I finished the burger first. The cook the staff the back end people all need praise from management. I will forsure be coming back“

“Miranda was absolutely amazing. Absolutely recommend and ask for her.“

“Drive through Evansville frequently en route to Nashville from points north, and tried Burger Bank today for the first time - great food and always like supporting locally owned businesses! Will be back!“

“I just enjoy Red Lobster 🦞“

“We got a table with no wait on a weekday at 6pm. Our server was amazing, drinks always full, and our food came out crazy fast! We ordered the queso fries which came with two cups of ranch. (Very appreciated as ranch lovers.) The fries were extremely fresh and tasted great! Our entrees were bourbon glazed salmon and shrimp and grilled pork chops - both were tasty! The southern green beans were good but had a somewhat sweet taste, which I was not expecting. The other sides we tried were the Caesar and house side salads and a loaded baked potato, also very tasty! We took home the fried apple pie dessert and that did not disappoint either. The menu has American favorites that we will definitely be back to try!“

“Great, Friendly and Fun Staff, I love the Bacon Cheese Burgers and Bacon Cheese Fries. Always a good time, which is why I visit almost daily!“

“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.“

“Had a great meal at Frontier today! Nice menu selection, relaxing atmosphere and fantastic service from our waiter, Steph! Also, they are now open on Sunday!“

“this restaurant has amazing quality food but for the price is crazy i went here thinming it would be cheap like mc donalds but NO the price for large onion rings costed me almost over 8 BUCKS thats crazy. the price needs to be lowerd im coming for the food not for the looks of the place so please get it better for the prices cause im not going back if it keeps costing like its a 5 star restaurant.“

“I have taken my family to eat here 3 times since they opened. Not once has anyone been unhappy with what was ordered. Food is always amazing. Service is top notch. The servers checked back frequently for taking empty plates, filling drinks, and checking on how the food tastes. They have, in my opinion, THE best smoked Old Fashioned I have ever had. Atmosphere is nice, everything is very open. Even when things appear busy I've never had to wait very long for a table. Highly recommend.“

“The rib eye steak sandwich was delicious today. Huge slab of steak for a sandwich. Tender is an understatement. Each bite was super tender .
I've been going there for years at the food is never disappointing. The chef is in the open kitchen right behind the bar making homemade french fries and homemade soups. You'll never go wrong grabbing a bite to eat at sportsman's grill on Franklin.

If you appreciate this review please give me a click, my status as a Google guide depends on it.

Thank you have a wonderful life.“

“This was a fun place to celebrate a 21st birthday! With the different bands playing here there is a great variety of music and something for everyone. The atmosphere was energetic, and we had an amazing time celebrating. Definitely a fun spot for a special occasion or just to have a drink.“

“The service, atmosphere, and dinner were excellent. Highly Recommend.“

“Best food I love food there and you guys rock“
