If you are looking for a locally owned restaurant in Evansville for breakfast or lunch, look no…read morefurther than Libby and Mom's Cafe. I was in Evansville recently en route to Nashville and was looking for a local spot to get a bite to eat. As I love the smaller, family-owned places that are off the main roads, this place sounded very inviting. Well it was indeed off the beaten path. A couple blocks from one of the main streets in town and next to what looks like a city park, this was the kind of place I was looking for. I walked in and the seating area is not that big in the front (they have another section with more tables) and was greeted by a friendly waitress who told me I could sit where I wanted. I got the menu, and after finding out they were short-handed with a limited menu, I opted for a simple bacon, eggs, and french toast breakfast (with the waitress suggesting the cinnamon butter for the french toast). That was a perfect meal as it was the right amount. The cinnamon butter was a very nice touch and made the french toast that much more tasty. The coffee was also good and hot (and bottomless cup). I can tell this was a great place as there were a lot of locals dining. When I saw something on the TV that mentioned near where I live, I made a comment and the waitress quipped that I was not from a local and one of the others said they could tell by my "Chicago" accent. All in good fun of course.

It was evident by the packed parking lot and people leaving that we had missed the rush. We were seated immediately and the server was right there to take our drink order. Their coffee was one of the best I've had out. I ordered a veggie omelette but didn't want the normal sides of toast and potatoes. I ordered just the one pancake. The omelette was just a bit cooked too long, but it was still good. The pancake was soft and fluffy inside and even better when I added syrup! I was surprised when I got my bill that they didn't charge me for the pancake. The server said that the owner/cook just likes to make people happy and was very flexible on the sides. The prices are really reasonable. I'll be back!

I have been to the diner several times and cannot find anything wrong with this restaurant. In fact, they were even nicer than my momma ( she could be a little overbearing). Be warned!!! There are a lot of white hairs that hang out at Meles, but that should also tell you something. Home cooked flavor at a great price.

I am hesitant to ever give a bad review because every business has a bad day... in this case I…read morefeel I should be blatantly honest. 1st the "funnel cake " is not infact a funnel cake. Funnel cakes are made with a funnel. What you have is fried toast. 2nd my breakfast came cold, Not even the butter on the top of the potatoes would melt. I sent it back. Instead of preparing an entirely new plate as should have happened it was microwaved and returned to me. So my over medium eggs became hard eggs. The sausage was not freshly prepared but have been sitting on the grill, kept slightly warm and dried out , in other words it had been precooked and it was awful.. It was clear that I was very displeased. Consequently,, the restaurant comped my bill without my asking. Not sure what I would recommend except that the basics of the food hot and not cold making sure that it is perfect - over medium means over medium, not hard. Advertise something as a funnel cake then Google how to make funnel cakes otherwise advertise it as fried bread. Morr and more restaurants are going to having the bacon and the sausage sitting on the side of the grill and that is just gross. Certainly staff were very nice and prompt for the exception of letting my meal get cold before they gave it to me. And I fell that they were trying hard. Would I recommend them to someone else? No. Would I return? No

And the fries, they were perfectly crispy, crunchy and again, minimal grease Shout out to Erica who made our visit smooth and enjoyable!

The start of my first official day in Kentucky kicked off at Eastgate Family Restaurant. My friend…read morewho's from here advised that Eastgate Family Restaurant has the best breakfast in the city. Based on what he said I had to go. As Eastgate Family Restaurant sits in a parking plaza there is ample parking. Upon walking it you are met with a sign to seat yourself. The restaurant is huge but has the feel of a small down home diner. The decor is very simple and dominated by gray tones. Once seated we were greeted by Lisa who was all smiles and midwest charm. The menu has an abundance of options but the breakfast section was calling my name. LoL! As I watched the servers bring out some other dishes I had to think long and hard about what I wanted. Being that my tastebuds we're all over the place I decided to go A-La-Carte, don't judge me. Food: Grits - The grits were plain. There was nothing special about them overall but they satisfied my desire for some grits. The serving size was very generous and after adding 6 packs of butter I was happier. LoL! Bacon (well done) - The bacon was the bomb. It was thick and well done just how I like it. Even with being well done it still had the robust flavor profile of smoked pork. Truth be told, I would come back for the bacon alone. Home Fries (well done and add onions) - The home fries were thinly sliced which made the crispyness even better. Though they were thin they still had the softness in the middle. They hit the spot. Overall, Eastgate Family Restaurant was a good meal with great service at a great price. It's worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for home cooked flavor without having to cook it.

I thought they could use someone to bus tables, cause when we walked in there were quite a few dirty tables and flies on the left over food. That almost turned me around, but I'm glad we stayed! If I was a local, I'd be a regular!
