6 Best Southern Restaurants near Evansville

“The location is nice. You have the river walk and the Shriner’s history to view. They have an outside patio, it was being worked on. The staff seemed friendly, expedient but new. The ambience needed something…. It was quiet. It was lunch time. I had the chicken potpie. It took a minute but it was fresh, hot, and had a good flavor.“

“I had such a wonderful lunch here recently. There are so many creative and delicious varieties of chicken salad to choose from, and everything tasted super fresh. The staff was incredibly friendly and made the whole experience even better. It is definitely my new go-to spot for a quick, healthy, and tasty meal.“

“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!“

“Some of the best food in the TriState area. Rotating specials offer something for everyone. However, in addition to great food, they have my mother's favorite waitress/server on the planet! Allison Moore is amazing at making you feel welcome and cared about. She goes above and beyond in her job performance and is accommodating and accurate with dine in as well as carryout orders. She keeps us coming back time after time. Do yourself a favor and not just dine at Hometown Roots but ask that Allison Moore is your server.“
