    Kevin is the nicest person, his wine reviews are phenomenal. I have loved going to this restaurant…read moreand they also treat me and my guest well.

    I have had this one on the list for a while now because of the reviews... I was excited to take a…read morespontaneous road trip to Evansville yesterday and finally check it out! We parked in front of the restaurant, and were seated immediately. The inside is small, but they also have a nice little patio area if the weather is right. We chose to sit inside this time. The bar is nice as well. They were busy but the food and drinks come out quickly, so that helps. I started with the signature drink according to the server. It was called the lucky bucket, and it's a spicy strawberry margarita. It definitely has a kick to it, with good flavor. I ordered the special, which was a chicken Parmesan sandwich, made with a homemade marinara sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and banana peppers. It was delicious!!! My husband had the fried chicken club sandwich. They originally brought out the wrong sandwich for him, so the picture is of a different sandwich, but once corrected, he said it was good. He ate the other half of my sandwich and liked it better! We also shared the classic fries and a slice of the vanilla cheesecake with homemade berry compote for dessert. Great service. Delicious food. We will be back to try the burgers! They looked and smelled amazing too...

    I just had takeout, so I haven't had the opportunity to eat in. Cool decor. Nice decorations. The…read morebar is definitely fully stocked. I had the crab cakes, chicken sandwich, and hatch chili grits. All were delicious . I went to spice level 4 on my sandwich. I love spicy foods but 4 was plenty to where I could still taste it. The lady working the register was friendly and my food came out quickly. I'll definitely return.

    Last two times eating here everything was excellent. Service, food, drinks. Don't know if tonight…read moreequates to inconsistency creeping in or just a bad night. An experienced server would have rejected our appetizer and my plate from the kitchen. Truly the best fried cheese sticks in the area. Level 3 heat, fried to golden, wonderful cheese stretch to the bite. Perfect. But, not tonight. Over cooked, dark brown, greasy, with cheese leaking out. Bitter burnt taste competed with the spice and cheese. Disappointed. Chicken was great as always. Though the spice levels were off tonight. Two of us ordered level 4, the same as on previous visits. This time was very mild. The cheese sticks (lvl3) were WAY spicier. Chicken was not close to previous visits heat levels. And the fries! I just gave up. Should have sent the whole meal back but wanted the chicken and others are the table didn't order the fries so I let it go. Tonight's side of fries was sad to look at under those nice strips. Over cooked, small, dark, broken bits in a pile. Not a single fry over an inch long. Just the dregs of the fry bin scraped from the bottom and dumped on my plate instead of in the trash where they belonged. Service was decent but below past experiences here. Greeted, seated upstairs, waitress stops by to announce she will bring water. Comes back with said water and leaves before taking drink orders or asking if we already knew our appetizer order. Circled back in a bit to take drink orders. When drinks finally made it, we stopped her to order appetizers and entrees. Toward the end of the meal, server did ask if we wanted dessert, nope. Didn't ask if we wanted another drink at anytime. First time we have only had one drink here. Just brought the check. Still plenty of empty tables and a few open bar seats, didn't feel like she was trying to turn the table for next service. Just ticking the boxes: done with food, no dessert, give them the check. Hoping our next visit is closer to earlier experienced than tonight's.
