For our girlfriend breakfast out, we chose Comfort. I've not been there for quite awhile but remember liking their breakfast. We got there just as it opened at 9 am. I ordered the Veggie Skillet with German fries. The skillet also includes biscuits and gravy. I passed on the gravy. The portions are ample and seasoned perfectly. Our server was attentive, the place was clean, and the meals arrived quickly. We'll go back there again for sure.

Good food! Server was just ok; host was more helpful than our server. Will go back though!

I had been trying for weeks to eat here but couldn't find decent parking. Finally just parked a couple blocks away and walked. Loved the vibe of the place, inside and out. I was seated quickly. I wanted comfort food and the waitress advised they were known for their fried chicken so I got it, stuffing and fried okra. Husband got chicken strips, coleslaw and fries. I would say their chicken reminded me of gas station chicken but nowhere near as good as Lee's Famous Recipe or KFC. There was no flavor other than the oil it was fried in. The dressing actually tasted good but had such a strange texture. Chicken strips and fries were both just okay and coleslaw was no good. Our service wasn't great either so we tipped accordingly. The bread and butters were definitely the best part of the meal.Parking: Had to park two blocks away and walk.

They give complementary rolls but ask if they don’t! Some of the servers forget ? , food is always good when dining in but very hit or miss taking out . Don’t forget to ask about dessert!

Service is absolute terrible…. Management is new, no body knows how to make anything consistently every-time you go, embarrassing etc.

Came here for a date night with the wife. First time ever coming to the restaurant and we were both very pleased with the food, and service. It was a tad loud, but thats nothing out of the ordinary for 6pm on a Saturday evening anywhere in Evansville. I had the porkchops, and the wife had New York strip steak. Both were like butter when we cut into them. Such a great place to try, and we definitely added this to our go to restaurant list.

The service from Celeste was absolutely terrible this evening. It took her 15 minutes to get our drinks. Then we asked for bread & butter before our food & that took her 15-20 minutes to bring out to us. When our food finally came she forgot to bring us an extra plate & side of honey mustard that we asked for & our drinks were empty. We sat with empty drinks for 30 minutes & she avoided eye contact with us when she would walk by & didn’t check in with us. It doesn’t help that the manager working never checked on us or any other tables around us in the hour & a half time we were there. Absolutely terrible service.

This was a charming spot for a fun dinner with coworkers while visiting. They had a table big enough for seven and we all had a great time. The mocktails are outstanding.

We were in town for the Jason Isbell concert and made a 7pm reservation not realizing that Evansville is on central time and the show started at 7pm also. Even though they were full the hostess was able to switch our reservation to 6pm with no hesitation. We were seated downstairs in the bar area which was really nice and upon service we were greeted by Josie, who was absolutely AMAZING! Even though we were short on time Josie never made us feel rushed and her personality was very warm and true. Service was impeccable and great conversation with her. Hope you make it to Louisville soon Josie!

What an awesome surprise! We were in town for a basketball tournament recently and came across this little gem of a restaurant in Evansville, and we were so impressed with its eclectic "shabby chic" atmosphere and hometown food. It was delicious. We had a super sweet and attentive server, who never let our glasses go empty and was very happy to make suggestions about the menu choices. She did not disappoint! We loved the strawberry butter with popover rolls!!

I attended a private event on the fourth floor in the "Upper Room" Grand Ballroom. What a wonderful event space! Upon entry, many of the guests complemented the chandeliers and overall rustic yet elegant design of the space. It would make for a a great wedding reception venue. The catered food was just okay - primarily fried foods and sliders. My only note is that it was not wheelchair accessible and required going up four flights of stairs. Per their website, it looks like elevator access is coming soon, but not in place as of March 2024.

Despite a pleasant ambiance and attentive service, the experience over all left me questioning the justification for the price. The food is comparable to something you might expect from a food truck. The ambiance, while isn't awful, isn't unique. It's got the "industrial-farmhouse-core", or "new restaurant starter pack" feel. The service was great, and food and drink were prepared and delivered timely and with care. It's not somewhere I will probably go to again, because the food and ambiance were not worth the price.
