5 Best Southern Restaurants near Evansville

“Amazing food! I opted for the meatloaf and my husband had the catfish filet. The service was outstanding, and our glasses stayed full. I believe our servers name was Cortney. She recommended these dishes and didn’t let us down. We will definitely be back! The owners are super sweet and stopped by to chat as well. 10/10“

“While visiting in Evansville, my daughter and I picked up food to take back to her dorm. Our service was excellent. Lillian took the time to answer all of our questions to make sure we ordered the right flavors for us. I would definitely recommend stopping in.“

“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.“
