This place has great food and we love trivia night! The fried mushrooms are amazing.

Service was good. Nice atmosphere. Food took a while to come out but it was good. Burger and onion rings were excellent. Draft beer was a little on the warm side. read more

From Oct 23: Tonight date night was at The Frontier Restaurant and Bar. This was our first time trying it, and it vastly surpassed our expectations. We started with the fried mushrooms. The portion was huge - easily a pound or more of mushrooms and each mushroom was also huge. They came out piping hot and breaded to perfection. While I probably would have preferred more of a horseradish sauce, the ranch dressing served with them is house made and some of the best I've had. We both ordered the 1/2 chicken platter - his white meat with green beans and creamy coleslaw, mine dark meat with mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. Again the portions were huge! The chicken was absolutely the best fried chicken we've had anywhere around here. The green beans were perfectly cooked (not cooked to mush like most places here do) and very tasty. The mashed potatoes and gravy comes with choice of white or brown gravy - I obviously chose brown. The potatoes were creamy, gravy was tasty and well-seasoned, but not overly salty. The coleslaw was very creamy and sweeter than I prefer, but still good. Everything was house made, in fact the chicken is breaded and fried to order so be prepared for a 20 minute or so wait if you order it. The interior of the restaurant is understated, but comfortable. Our server, Matt was fantastic. The restaurant wasn't overly busy, but he was definitely hustling. But he was also very attentive and friendly and let us know about our order status frequently. He also anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Drink refills and to-go containers appeared like magic. The exterior is a bit deceptive. The sign gives the impression of a Mexican restaurant and the building doesn't look like much. Another case of don't judge a book by its cover. Prices are quite reasonable. Our meal came to just over $40 before tip, and we have enough leftovers for at least another meal or two. We're very happy with this new-to-us find and will certainly go back to try more menu items (if we can overcome the temptation to always get the fried chicken ). Update: We ate there again last night (12/11) and it was just as good! He ordered chicken again, and I had a ribeye. The chicken was just as good as we remembered. The ribeye was great - well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. It was nearly butter-knife tender and full of flavor. I also really appreciate that the server waited while I cut into it to make sure it was the temperature I wanted. read more

Have gone three different times, each time the food tastes amazing! The service is usually quick but they were short staffed one day and it took over an hour and a half for our food. Considering the other times we've gone this is out of character. Definitely recommend! read more

It was busy but they only had one waitress taking care of tables on the bar side. Mushrooms had a light coating and we very tasty...a little too salty for me. We got the two catfish fillet dinner to split. The catfish were generous fillets but the didn't have tartar sauce! The hush puppies we not greasy and were light with a very good flavor. Sweet potato fries were cooked right and had a crispy outside and tender inside. My biggest complaint is waiting for a box and the bill for 30 minutes!!!!!! read more

Good specials on buckets, our food was hot and served quickly the overall atmosphere was good. Definitely feels like a small town local pub.

Very clean restaurant. Staff was very good at letting you enjoy your meal but still checking in on you. I had the baked cod with creamy cole slaw. Both were above average compared to other places. The quality of the food was the best part. Perfect place to watch a sporting event and have a meal. Good prices overall. Everything is around $15. read more

Bucket of Ultra beers 5 for 23.50!! Nope not going back. 4.68 a piece. No view of the bay, river or mountains. read more

Been going here for years and loved the food and service. Recently it changed ownership and has gone way downhill. Half the time they close the kitchen or the wait is an hour( unacceptable) to get your food. I don't know if this is a management problem or a staff problem but the new owners need to get it together and get it fixed or you're going to run a one skid business into the ground. read more

The food was good and the waitress was very friendly. I'd eat here again if I'm ever back that way.

Drove from one side of town to the other only to find out the kat the advertised Bloody Mary bar didn't exist. And the Bloody Mary's themselves are NOT worth the money or the drive... the drink sucked and if I wanted spicy I had to add my own Tabasco sauce because they said they could add it because the mix is pre-made. That makes no sense due to the fact you can supposedly pick which vodka you wanted why not throw the Tabasco in at that mixing point... read more

My husband and I thought the food was yuck. They also brought me potato chips dumped on a plate(which is fine) but it was all the crumbs etc from the bottom of the bag. All u could do was laugh. . I have never tried the bar side but have heard that it's very good. read more

On a Monday night not very busy...we were 5 min before we were sat 10 min till we were asked about drinks got here at 515 it's 550 and still no food...what a shame we used to love to come here..1 hour later and still no food...this is absolutely horrible.... read more

My family/friends had an absolutely awful experience at this restaurant this weekend. To make a long story short, I was screamed at and hung up on by both an owner and manager when I called to complain. I was also sent a very nasty message from the owner. You can visit their Facebook reviews to see how they respond to customers who "call them out". NEVER ever will we return to this loud, disgusting restaurant! The service and food were both awful; please don't waste your time or money. read more

So went to frontier tavern for lunch and the lady from the back walked out of kitchen cursing because we didn't order the special..... she actually commented ABOUT OUR ORDER while dropping the F bomb. I would surmise if you don't like what you cook maybe change the menu.... read more

Got the mixed fried chicken special Anthony- 8.1/10 With onion rings and a salad Austin -8.1/10 With sweet potato fries and slaw Good service. Good beer! read more

If I could give this a 0 I would! Thought I would give this place one last try but never ever again! Worst food I've ever eaten. Husband got a burger that was burnt to a crisp, three bites of it and he refused to eat anymore. Taco salad was a bag of lettuce with two table spoons of meat. When I asked about the other toppings that were shown on the menu, was told they don't carry those toppings. My daughters chicken tenders were hard as a rock and we showed them. When we complained about the food the waitress told the owner who never came to talk to us, and they discounted 5.00 off the check because he ate three bites from a garbage burger and a few onion rings! The waitress agreed it looked burnt, the cook came out and tried to tell us a hamburger still cooks when it's taken off the grill. Ground beef doesn't cook from medium to charred after it's taken off the grill!. Meanwhile the young employees stand around laughing and loudly talking about us complaining. Every review I see says horrible customer service and food and the owners and staff seem to blame the customer instead of taking responsibility for their horrible food and service. The only thing keeping this place afloat is the fact that there isn't anything else in Daylight and it has a decent bar. If it wasn't for that this place would be closed. It takes a LOT for us to complain about the food or service, but never in my life have I ever been told after refusing to eat that garbage that we were still going to be charged for eating 3 bites off of a burger and 4 onion rings. It's obvious they have never been in the service industry or food service. read more

They have a new menu and the food is fire! Their tenderloin is the best I've ever had. It's huge and can easily be split in to two meals. Their fried pickles and mushrooms are homemade and delicious. This place has classic bar food. Great food, good company and fun bartenders and staff. read more

It's your typical restaurant / bar that is a haven for "regulars." Years ago, when I lived in the general northeast side of Eville, I would come here solely out of convenience, and fear of driving too far after an evening of power drinking. I didn't come here because the food is great, or they offer some sort of unique drink menu. No, I came here because (pre Uber) it was a safe bet that I could make it back to my house, and at times, the bar was very entertaining. To be fair- the food here is decent, or definitely above average, but still bar food, nonetheless. But, what made the Frontier (mainly during the old ownership; hence the new name: "New Frontier") stand out, was simply the entertainment provided by the staff. Seriously, where can you go, and a female bartender gets drunk on the job, and starts making out with other female patrons? Uh, the (old) Frontier, possibly. In fact, I looked at my friends, and proudly boasted, "I'm going to hook up with that girl." I made good on that promise. Side note: that was a short lived few weeks, or so, of confused, drunken bliss. Many years later, I'm glad to see that the "New" Frontier still resembles the "Frontier." The "New" Frontier boasts a minimal upgrade in cosmetic appearance, and it seems to be an actual...you know, business these days- not a sorority party. The service was efficient, and spot on. Not to mention, $5 pitchers of Coors Lite. Sold. It seems like the northeast siders still dominate the place, but in a more tame manner. Ah, memories. Yep, I'll still return, next time I visit my hometown. read more

I get it. These people are trying to piss off their customers, so they can burn the building down and collect the insurance money. NEVER in 53 years, have I had such rude service. Old hen...maybe late 50's-early 60's waited on us. Zero personality. Rolled her eyes when I asked for another napkin ( gave me ONE with an order of wings). Never asked how the food was. She looked at my American Express card, and just said "we don't do American Express" and left. Just and old sour Woman. Ordered hot wings and a burger. Wings were no doubt pre-cooked, frozen from Sams club. Terrible. Burger...well. Might have been the cheapest pre-formed patty they could buy. Seriously...WHY even own a place if you employ such horrible people and serve the worst cheap, garbage. read more

In all my 67 years, this was the worst food I've ever eaten!! Burned cheeseburger, semi-cooked French fries. What a waste!!! read more

I have never had the service issues that others have experienced. If I do I will update this review. They have a great fried tenderloin and club sandwich! The Saturday Brunch is a solid American style breakfast. The Bloody Mary bar is huge! I hate bloody Mary's so I cannot comment to quality but it is a do it yourself so you can make it how you would like. read more

In town for a family thing, this is the place we stopped for dinner. One side is a bar, the other is a family dining room, which is where we were. I asked for a list of local selections they had on tap and got a blank face in return, so nothing really local about this place except the Brain Sandwich. Most of the food is prepared in the deep fryer - like the mushrooms we had as an appetizer. If you're watching your weight, this isn't the place to go.. read more

atmosphere is great, very clean and staff is so friendly. love the renovations they made recently. plus the food is still soo good

Went on a Saturday morning for $5 Bloody Mary bar. Enjoyed making my own and the fun experience. Went with two other couples. We decided that try the food as we haven't eaten here before...the food did not disappoint. After the Bloody Marys we weren't that hungry so we decided to split the chicken and waffles...OMG. We both wished we would have ordered one each. It came with hot meaty chicken strips with honey mustard dip. I'm usually a Big Dipper in the sauce but I didn't need as the strips were so flavorful. And the waffles OMG they were to die for. No syrup necessary as they were the perfect amount of sweet, crunchy on the outside and light and airy inside. Two others in our group got the same and they also enjoyed. We asked the waitress what they put in the waffle mix but it's a secret. Two others in our party tried the breakfast burrito and loved them as well. We ate in the bar that was loud and full of people. That's just the atmosphere here and everyone is having a good time. Our waitress was super busy but I thought she did a great job with all the tables she had to service. This is my new neighborhood goto. If your looking for a nice romantic quiet dinner this is not your place. If your looking for good bar food and atmosphere this is your place. read more

Awful experience each time I have visited. The staff are not friendly at all. They make you feel like they just want to get you out of the bar rather than provide friendly customer service. They tend to care more about their regulars rather than the common customer. At one point this place was a great neighborhood bar but it's went downhill. I tried and gave them enough chances in hopes they improved their service but I've visited there for the last time. read more

Worst place I ever are, my chop steak was raw, took 30 mins to get a beer, my buddy's Philly sandwich was nothing but gristle. . Barbara said she was a manager and was the worst person in the place.. she yelled at people for scooting a table over then they left.. Worst place don't go there! read more

Beware, don't use your debit card there, they change the amount to whatever they want after you sign it. You won't know they took extra until you look at your account and it's too late. read more

Catfish was awesome, spinach salad w chicken and hot bacon dressing superior. Friendly staff, Rachel was great, oreos for kids after dinner and no wait. This was are second visit here and did not disappoint. read more

My favorite restaurant food is so good. A little pricey but so worth it! I have had their chicken , coleslaw , mashed potatoes etc and it's yummy. Even though I would say some people that work there act like they don't want to be there. read more

Worst restaurant in and around Evansville. Hamburgers were frozen patties charcoaled burned and disgusting. Fries were terrible. Service was non existence, after waiting 30 minutes for our hamburgers we had to ask a different waitress if shed check on our food cause our waitress was too busy visiting. Never. NEVER again. Had a band on bar side, noise so load we couldn't even talk to each other. Go to McDonalds. Food much better. read more

If you showed up at the Frontier for craft beer, gastro-pub food and a Maitre D' to wait on you, you picked the wrong place. If you want above average bar food, or a steak dinner and a pitcher of Bud Light for $5, you hit the jackpot. I read a lot of negative ads about the service, it really just depends on your timing. This place is busy during the typical dinner rush. Other than that, the service is usually great - hat's off to Kasi, who always keeps our glasses full. They usually have 8-10 drafts to choose from and a cooler with a lot of other beer selections. There is a dinner special every day that will give you a chance to save a couple of bucks. We love the weekend bloody Mary bar and also the Tuesday night trivia - complete with prize money! This place has both a bar side and a family side, so they can cater to every party. We are by no means locals, but always feel welcome when we go. read more

If you like a noisy greasy hash house this place is for you. If you like a nice meal then avoid this place. I also hope the kitchen is cleaner then the bathroom. read more

Great little place to eat American style food. It's a regular stop for our family. The wait staff is always friendly and our food come reasonable fast. Our family of 4 can eat for under $35.00. That's seems fairly good to me now a days. read more

Great place to go for a good time and good food. The staff makes it fun. Especially Christie, she is a lot of fun. Get the fried mushrooms if you go they are awesome. Beer prices are great to. Their patio area is really nice. It's a great place ran by great people. This is one of our new favorite places in the area. read more

Horrible service. When I came to pick up my food they then let me know they didn't have one of the food items. Had to wait forever. Then forgot 2 more of my food items. Waited. No service or offer to rectify the screw ups. Didn't care. Won't go there again. read more

Took us 1 1/2 hours to get our food then some of it was cold. The so called manager then had the nerve to blame us. the proceeded to sit in the dinning room at another table berating our hole group and blameing us she was going on loud enough we all could here her very unprofessional. Since our encounter 2 weeks ago i've heard story after story about her. I don't believe i'll be back read more

Went here after a soccer game with a group of 8. The service was great and we really liked the food. It is great for families as well as groups. They have a large selection of choices. We will be back. read more

Best food and drinks in Evansville! Never disappointed! I have many good memories from spending time at Frontier. Staff is friendly and atmosphere is fun! read more

We stopped by for dinner on recommendation of new friend and we were extremely pleased with the food and service. The building is older and packed, with a local crowd. Of the 80 patrons we may have been the only 1st time visitors. A great candidate for the food channel's Diners Drive-ins and Dives. The Catfish was delish, Lemon Chicken Picatta was divine and the Burbon Chicken was awesome. However the Fried Pickles was to die for. The only negatives were that it was not Fancy, but that may have been part of the mystique. Large servings, good food and excellent service from Barb made our dinner complete. read more
