    Rooftop smash burger and fries
    Hannah K.

    A highly recommend food stop in downtown Evansville! The service was great, and the food was out of this world delicious. Everything was so unique! Chicken on the beach pizza is a Mexican twist on pizza. You might think that the Rooftop Smash burger is "just another burger and fries", but I can honestly say it's one of the best I've had in a long time. The rooftop sauce really kicked the burger up a notch, and the fries have an amazing seasoning on them. Almost like, brown sugar? Don't knock them until you try them! This cocktail features rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, and cream of coconut. Such a nice drink before or after your meal. Definitely try to stop by and give the Rooftop a try!

    I came here to celebrate my 21st birthday because multiple people recommended it for their drinks. Their drink options did not disappoint. I also chose this because I had a few people that weren't 21, so they were able to also come and celebrate with me. My first drink was Caramel Appletini and let me just say wow. It was the right blend of caramel and apple, neither overpowered the other, which to me made it quite enjoyable. For my meal I had the Buffalo Chicken Mac, I had every intention of taking a photo of it before I ate, but completely forgot and just dove right in. Which is why the only photo you're getting is of what was left when I was done. The white cheese mac perfectly balanced out the buffalo chicken, I've gotten it before here and it is always my go to. My only complaint is that I was there with a party of about 20 people. We were about 10 minutes early to our reservation, and when we got there, the room they put us in still had all the chairs on the tables. Also, they sat us at a bunch of random tables which split up our party making it difficult to converse with everyone. Also, two of the tables were booths, which cut off people from each other. The atmosphere of the room we were in didn't really match the rest of the restaurant, the furniture was very plain and there was no music playing like the rest of the restaurant. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive, especially for it being her first night, and there being other large parties happening that night. She was the one who recommended the Caramel Appletini for a drink choice and came in frequently to see if we needed anything else. I give this restaurant four stars because the food and drinks were awesome, it was just our seating arrangements that seemed last minute and unorganized.

    Had to check this place out while I was in town for Brunch - we got there at opening and sat in the sunshine! I started with the blueberry lemon martini - holy moly that was delicious - we also got the Sunday special of bottomless mimosas! I got the Christopher Robbin which was delicious, the chicken was cooked perfectly and had just enough syrup and the right amount of berries! Mom chose the Notorious B&G - the potatoes were crispy, gravy was well seasoned and the eggs were on point. We got the Hangover to take home for pops and he couldn't rave enough about how good it was! If you're in the area, stop and check it out! Our server was great, attentive and we will definitely go back!

    Let me first say that where we sat on the Rooftop - you would have never have known there was a pandemic going on - as there was NO social distancing and NO ONE wore masks except the staff. Yes - I was complicit in this as I was with a group who didn't try at all to keep distance. I am more conservative and always wear a mask when I'm not with my husband and this group. I caved to the peer pressure and did the best I could to keep my distance. To each his own - And now, a week later, I am still healthy. TG! My review of the restaurant begins with excellent live music. It was recognizable songs and you could hear enough to sign along - but also not overwhelming so you could carry a conversation, too. Perfect. We were with a large group and the staff did a pretty good job of getting us drinks, bringing refills and getting order accurate and out all together. Only one was late - and that entree showed within 5 minutes of the rest. My hubby got a sandwich and fries. He said it was very good. Not the best ever, but I think he gave it 4 stars. I ordered the Fuji apple chicken salad and it was FABULOUS! It was by far the best salad I've eaten in months - probably the best of the year. The competition for that spot has not been good as I've rarely eaten out. My meals during our tournament/vacation have been a true pleasure and treat. Otherwise, I cook at home. Anyways, the salad had lots of really good fixings and decent lettuce (romaine? not iceberg that's for sure). The picture shows the salad and the bowl is deep - with some of the fixings being layered in, not heaped all on top (which causes problems). We got our bill and the prices were fair. We were able to pay and move on as a group in pretty time. I would DEFINITELY go back - but not in a group and would require distancing. I think on another level, they had another live musician going. I would have gone wherever we could have been seated away from others. I would love to have that salad again. I only wish they were local!!

    Haven't been to Rafferty's since I moved from Evansville back in 2010, we were in town for a family…read morefunction and decided to give it a whirl. Somethings never change, the hot bacon dressing with honey mustard on the house salad is a staple from my younger years and it was just as delicious as I remember! The flakey croissant with honey butter on the salad was delightful as well! And don't get me started on the prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes - not only is it cheaper (30.99 compared to others at 45.99+) than the other places in Evansville - it has FLAVOR, and is served daily after 4, not only on the weekends.

    We tried Rafferty's at 7pm on a Sunday evening and there was no wait for our table. They have nice…read moreoutdoor patio seating, a bar, and a dining room. The decor reminded us of a cabin from the 90s. The menu had American favorites. Our server, Cidney was amazing! Our drinks were full the entire meal. We ordered the breaded mushrooms with a cup of ranch added on. They came out fast. They were super crispy, tasty, and hot. Both the horseradish/mustard sauce and ranch were great! Both of us decided to order the catch of the day, which was mahi mahi. It wasn't necessarily blackened but it had an amazing grilled flavor. Our sides were the house salad with ranch and a loaded baked potato. The house salad was a generous size and tasted excellent. The potato was fresh and loaded up. We were very happy with our entire experience. We hope to come back and try more of their options.
