We were in town for a baseball game a Bosse field and found Robert's. We were not disappointed! Fried chicken, chicken fried steak, grilled cheese, pimento cheese with chips and salad bar - all get two thumbs up from us! Great service and delicious food - Check it out! read more

The only time the food got worse the more I ate. The plates were almost as bad as the food. Someone had to hold my plate down so I could cut my pork. The pork was genuinely so dry and so tough that I would believe it was cooked in bulk in the beginning of the week. The fries were bland. The hushpuppies were actually pretty good, but it couldn't save this place. The service was fine. It was divided between us and a St. Paddy's party. I don't think anything could make me want to come back here if I'm being honest. read more

Split opinion here... The food was GREAT. The service was a bit lacking. I guess they were short on workers, but that's not the customer's fault! Our server was also working behind the bar. Made for some slower service at times. And I thought that since they took reservations, they'd be a little nice... A little fancier? NOT. Overall, pretty good though. read more

we had reservations at Robert's by the River for the 4th of July! we started with the corn fritters and stuffed jalapeño bites. the corn fritters were delicious, and the stuffed jalapeño bites were super cheesy. for my entree, i had the fried chicken sandwich with chips, and the chips were so good! they also had a great variety of fancy cocktails to choose from. the service and ambiance were amazing! we sat inside for appetizers and then moved out to the patio to watch the fireworks over the river. it was the perfect spot to celebrate the holiday, and i'd definitely try it again. read more

We went there last night 8/14/26. Smelled good so we was excited. Had a short ten min wait to be seated. We sat fr by center table on the left side. Waitress came buy and took our drink order, there was something off about her. Drinks came and we realized what was off. It was her customer service was off and her attitude was on ! So not a great start. Well our drinks arrived the sweet tea was lacking and the coffee was so rancid that rebrewed five day old truck stop coffee tasted Devine. We placed our appetizer order.We waited and waited and waited and was asked if we would like some dinner rolls while we wait. We got those and they was great and then the waiting started again. 45 min goes by and then the personality princess came by and asked if we wanted more rolls and it should be just five min and turned and walked away. Well our food arrived the mashed potatoes was soooo salty I think everyone in the kitchen put salt in the potatoes, the hush puppies wasn't cooked properly couldn't eat them either. The other items we order tasted good. Wasn't even a mediocre of an experience, more of a regretted that we came of an experience. Only giving one star because zero is not an option. read more

I did not enjoy my food yesterday. The meatloaf, green beans, and macaroni did not taste good. The only thing I liked was the mash potatoes.

We came on a Saturday evening and were the only people in the place for a bit, which always can be a little concerning. My husband had the salad bar and was pleased with it. I had the meatloaf and it was decent. Overall, nothing to write home about. I probably wouldn't return. But it wasn't bad. Just not enough to make me want to come back. read more

Tried this spot at the recommendation of friends. Looking for good fried fish. Got one filet sandwich with fries and one filet dinner with okra and hush puppies. 34.00 The serving sizes were small. I could get a gas station fish four times the size of the tiny filets. I had to use both hands to break the fish apart. It wasn't any better than fast food in fish. Just way more expensive. I gave it two stars because the staff was nice. read more

Good food good atmosphere friendly staff. Good area for parking right by riverfront. Also has outdoor patio dining.

Was killing time at work, and decided to walk around a check out the river walk in downtown Evansville, after that I decided to stop off and grab a snack and a drink, this is located within a very cool shrine: museum to the Shriners, when I walked in I was seated right away, I ended up enjoying some micolob ultra and some tasty Jalapeño poppers, it was the perfect pick me up! Friendly staff, hope im able to get back one day. read more

Food was amazing. Robert and his dad talked with us for a while. Really great guys. Would definitely recommend this place if you stay in town. read more

On our final day in Indiana we found this place on a google search of the area. We already knew what we wanted before we walked in the door. I had fried fish fillet with mashed potatoes no gravy and the best tasting green beans I believe I've ever had a restaurant. The fish was seasoned perfectly and was so delicious. My daughter had the same other than she had the French fries instead of mashed potatoes She did mentioned she wish the fries were hand cut instead of simply frying frozen crinkle fries. Our last night happened to be a Friday night and it was getting busy and appeared to be short staffed but the two waiting the tables handled it perfectly and kept the room moving. Really wished we could have sat outside because it was such a nice evening but with the short staffing I can see why that wasn't possible. Definitely our next visit we will go back here. read more

Robert's Comfort Food - Single fish plate with two sides mashed potatoes and green beans. - Desserts Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

Under staffed. Food was average. Overall a boring experience with average food. Restaurant area is drab.

My daughter took me here for Mother's Day. I had never been before, said it was a brunch. It was awful. The eggs were obviously precooked like hotel eggs. Biscuits were frozen and reheated the potatoes were under cooked there was no fruit, no orange juice. It was definitely not a brunch.\n Assuming there would be like eggs, Benedict.\n And the sides that would go with it, fresh fruit orange juice. and costing 54 for2 people definitely was not worth it read more

Located in the Hadi Shrine building overlooking the river. They have a bar, dining room, and outdoor seating. Could tell that everyone there knew each other. We were seated quickly but had to wait for our waitress for about 10 minutes. After that she was friendly and provided great service. After we ordered drinks we ordered dinner. I got the grilled pork steak. It was delicious and the first time I have seen it on menu. My wife got the fried catfish fillet, and others the chicken fried steak with white gravy. Everyone really enjoyed their main entree. The sides were quite good, especially the collard greens. We didn't have it but the salad bar looked well stocked and fresh. A nice dining experience. read more

Excellent salmon Pattie's. Best green beans I've ever had. Very friendly staff. Salad bar was full and fresh

Stopped in for dinner Saturday evening based on positive Yelp reviews. Did not disappoint. Food was hot & very good. Hubby had catfish & I had the chicken tenders (which was enough for 3 people) - very good. Our server, Selena was very friendly & on her game. Selena - you did GOOD!!! BTW, took your recommendation for breakfast on Sunday morning. read more

As many people have mentioned, the first thing you notice is how clean it is inside. We stopped to eat here before the Jason Aldean concert and had a great experience. I was searching for a restaurant near the Ford Center and chose Robert's after looking at the reasonable prices on the menu and the positive reviews. It turned out to be the perfect place since it is so close to the Ford Center. Although we did not have Ryan as our server, our table did have some interaction with him and it was a lot of fun. The food was very good, and I especially want to compliment the catfish that our friends ordered. I am not a big fan of fish, but our friend James said it was the best catfish he had ever eaten. We may have to make a return trip to Evansville just to enjoy a meal here again. read more

We visited Evansville for an overnight trip. We're from the south, but we live in the Midwest now. When we looked at this menu, it reminded us of home with the fried fish, hush puppies and salad bar. We tried the chili and loaded baked potato soup. As you see, we couldn't decide on which one we liked more as they were both delicious, so we just mixed them both! I had the catfish, hush puppies, green beans and salad bar. My husband had the pork steak, baked potato and salad bar with a sweet tea. Everything was seasoned well! Ryan was our server and he was absolutely phenomenal and welcoming with all the suggestions. They were out of the meatloaf and bourbon slushes we wanted to try, but that's all the more reason to come back when we're back in town. Such a great restaurant and we look forward to coming when we're back in town. After we dined, we took a stroll in the river across the street to work off some of the food. Such a beautiful scenery! read more

Service was great. Ambiance was good. We must have gotten there after the lunch and before the dinner rush. Menu selection was okay.

We ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely will order it again. It was very juicy and not greasy for a fried chicken. Our waitress was Ashley and she was great also. Very helpful and very pleasant. It started getting busy when we left but she still done a good job keeping up with everything and everyone .

Excellent food. I went for lunch and it took a bit for the waitress to get me seated but other than that great food and service.

Had catfish, with hush puppies and mashed potatoes. All good. They have a salad bar option, but I didn't partake

One word: GREAT! Robert's was such a nice treat while traveling for work. Friendly owner and staff. I highly recommend. read more

Service was great on a slow Saturday afternoon. Had the catfish filets, they were decent enough, the breading was applied and cooked well, but lacked spice, maybe older crowd eats here? Hush puppies were on the small side and could have been larger portion (somewhat bland as well). Salad bar seemed small for the added price, skipped that. Not particularly a bad visit, but won't warrant a return. read more
