“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“

“Curbside for sunshine chicken salad. The chicken salad was almost dry hardly any mayo. For $16+ tip expect better.“

“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!!!“

“Large, beautiful dining room for a degree of privacy while dining. Their breakfasts are wonderful.“

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

“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 the Avocado BLT with over medium egg... Best thing I ate in a long time. Of course, had the sweet potato waffle fries with a side of caramel sauce that was awesome as well.“

“The food was well made, thoughtfully prepared and tasty. Service was quick. Drinks were good. I really liked the home made mashed potatoes. \n\nDuring covid times they did not have ANY spacing at the bar. Shame. People sat shoulder to shoulder eating and drinking.\n\nThe restaurant seating area had plenty of space and signage.“

“The General Tso and Honey Chicken dishes were delicious and fresh. None of the chicken was chewy from sitting too long like some places have. I'd like to have had onion in the fried rice as it would have completed the perfect lunch. The man was personable and very nice too. The mall needs to do a better job cleaning their tables.“

“Great food, excellent waiter!“

“I cannot tell you how wonderful the customer service is at the Evansville, IN Honey Baked Ham store! We ordered a ham to be delivered to a friend from the corporate store and found out today, 3 days before Christmas, that the delivery would not happened until the 27th!! I made a desperate call from South Carolina to see if the local store could help in any way and you would not believe how wonderful everyone was! They were most certainly dealing with lines of customers on this day and yet, my problem became their problem as they searched for ways to save the day. When we realised there were no delivery options that would work before Christmas, Eric, the store manager, offered to make the delivery himself! This is really unbelievable - he didn't know us at all, but he most certainly thought we would not be a repeat customer because we are not from the area, and yet he cared enough to personally take care of us. I think his actions speak volumes.“

“Awesome vibe and hometown community feel. Food is the absolute best! Good people and great entertainment. Don’t miss this place!“

“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 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“

“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!!!“

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

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

“Even though they had a massive catering order, they placed my burger inline with that order so there were no delays. I was pleasantly surprised by them being my food to where I was sitting - right after I filled my fountain drink (just a few minutes later). Nice job and a great burger!“

“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!“

“Keeua… Kia…. Idk, but coming from a bartender she might be one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had. She works the crowd, keeps it fun, and the energy is high. She made our quick stop for food, an evening that I wont forget. Thank you for the memorable evening. If you’re lucky enough to get her behind the bar, you’re in for a good time.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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