We enjoyed this place! Definitely would come back anytime we're in town. Started off with their version of a spicy strawberry mocktail which was delicious. Definitely would love to try more of their mocktails! We shared the Chesapeake fries which were spicy, hot, and crunchy! I got the patty melt and my husband got the kale salad. We both loved our food. I asked for ketchup for my sandwich cause sometimes I like to dip my patty melt in and I didn't even use it on my sandwich cause it was so flavorful! The service was attentive and the restaurant was inviting and cozy! read more

Great personalized service from Kate. She gave great suggestions that were spot on! The food was perfectly cooked to order and came out very quickly. Great burgers and fries and the crispy Brussels sprouts were top notch. Also, delicious cocktails at a very reasonable price! read more

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

Great service, amazing drinks and I highly recommend the house salad, Truffle fries, and the smash burgers (so yummy). We live 3 hours away, in town for Wilco show, trust me , I am looking for any excuses to get back here. Thank you to all that make Samuel's so amazing. read more

While traveling for work I was looking for a good place to treat myself. Based on the reviews this place looked promising and boy did it not disappoint.I ended up having dinner here two nights in a row! The first night I had a peanut butter smash burger that was amazing with a Ghirardelli slice of cake (sorry forgot to take pics I was too hungry ) But the second night I had the Steak Frites and a craft cocktail which was the perfect "last meal" of my trip. The server remembered me the second time and was so pleasant and attentive. The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks on the outside and it very lively and full of life. Samuel's is doing it right! read more

And the very first Tennessee Style Jalapeño Slaw Burger was born. Awesome place, great service and staff. Definitely a must eat at spot....if you are in Evansville and haven't eaten here...what are you waiting for? Enjoyable spot each and every time. read more

Food was delicious, burgers were huge! Very fresh ingredients. Bartender made great cocktails. Only downside is due to the small size of the restaurant we did come out with our clothes smelling like we had been sitting in the kitchen read more

Went to Samuel's while waiting for an event to start at the ford center, it is within walking distance which is very convenient. The food was amazing! We had truffle fries that were done perfectly in my mind, the truffle flavor was there but not so overpowering that it overwhelmed the dish. I had a smash burger, really good. Ingredients seemed fresh! My boyfriend got the chicken club and I was jealous!! It looked amazing. They don't offer gluten free buns, which is ok. They were willing to lettuce wrap my burger and that's a lot more than some places offer! Our waitress was a saint. The place was packed because of the event and she still managed to get us everything pretty quickly and refill drinks, etc. despite the chaos she still took the time to talk about what we should have as first time diners. Truly amazing! Like I said, the place was packed so we ended up sitting outside. I didn't see much of the inside. So other than the fact that this place has pretty limited seating, I can't really comment. It was very clean, and there was also a bar. If we end up going back down to Evansville for any more concerts I'd be happy to go back to this place! read more

Amazing! We had the Brussels spouts, truffle fries, the PBJ and the sweet spicy special and everything was beyond fantastic! Won't be disappointed, I guarantee it! read more

Was in town for a concert and wanted something local. Went to Yelp and reviews were great and it was within walking distance to our venue. One of the reviews said to arrive early, I'm glad we did, as it fills up pretty quick. A nice little cozy restaurant with a big red door, you can't miss it. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and the service from the staff was over the top. I really enjoyed how they all helped each other, true teamwork! We started our meal with the signature Brussel sprouts, they were amazing. We each had the wagu burger, it was delicious. If your in the area make this a must stop, you'll not be disappointed! read more

I visited right when they opened on a Thursday morning and was seated immediately. I started with the Brussels sprouts, which arrived quickly and were delicious. The steak and frites followed shortly after, and everything was cooked perfectly. The service was fast and friendly, and my drink was just as good as the food. If you're in downtown Evansville, this place is definitely worth a visit! read more

Everything was on point for lunch just like it always is. Service came with a smile and I never had to ask for anything. The food was fresh and the team is amazing. My only small critique is that the pricing is a little higher for lunch, but since it is dine in and practically fine dining, you definitely get what you pay for. read more

Hands down the best meal we've had in a while! Samuels in Evansville absolutely delivered. My husband ordered the Sunshine Salad with grilled chicken and loved it. I had the Classic House Salad topped with Nashville hot chicken--the flavor was incredible and instantly reminded me of Firefly's back when they were open here. My only complaint? The croutons didn't quite match the rest of the dish. Our son had the steak frites and couldn't stop raving about it. The drinks were another standout--Thyme After Time and Gringo Bingo are must-tries and some of the best we've had locally in a long time. Despite the restaurant being busy, service was timely and attentive. The restaurant itself is quaint and cozy, with a vibe that felt like something straight out of NYC--small, bustling, a few chefs making magic in the kitchen, and a bit loud due to the high ceilings, but totally worth it. We'll absolutely be back! read more

I wanted to give this place 5 stars - everything was going along so great. The interior is amazing, the staff was very personable and attentive, and the truffle fries were a huge portion and absolutely banging. But then I got my BLT (SAMUEL'S DRESSED UP BLT - Berkshire bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickled red onion, basil aioli, grilled sourdough) and it looked incredible, but there was something slightly off about the taste. I dont know if it was old oil/butter used to toast the bread, or if there was a cleaning agent that hadnt been thoroughly removed from the grill, but the sandwich was ever so slightly sour/bitter. I tasted my dining companions sandwich with similarly toasted bread and it was the same. So I am not sure. Maybe I hit an off day? Maybe it is supposed to taste that way? I know I probably should have said something but we were in a hurry and I did not want to make it into a Thing, so yeah that's partially on me. Anyway come for the truffle fries and the very chic interior. read more

Absolutely first time in Evansville, extremely rude service especially the bartender. Will not ever be returning here.

I loved our experience here! Samuel's has so much charm, I love the ambiance with the historic details. It's a small restaurant with a cozy feel and I loved all the Christmas decor. They had a bar upfront, with a nice cocktail list. We ordered the truffle fries and crispy Brussels and they were both amazing. My favorite were the Brussels, as they were cooked perfectly and packed with so much flavor. I am still thinking about these. I ordered the BLT which was probably an odd choice for the middle of December in Indiana. This sandwich was amazing, the tomato tasted so fresh and better than many I've had in the summer. Our waiter was great, and service was spot on the entire time!! Thanks, Samuel's!! read more

First time here. We were greeted and sat right away. This is a cute little restaurant. I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich, club style. My husband ordered the patty melt. The sides are sold separately, so we ordered the regular fries, with aoli sauce( they are plenty for 2, sharable). It was all really good. We also ordered 2 drinks that were really good. We would recommend trying this cute place. read more

Probably the gem of Evansville. The burger was the best I've ever had. Not overdone on the toppings just perfect blend of flavors that still allows you to enjoy the beef. The truffle fries and Old Fashions were top notch and the service was super fast and friendly. Cannot wait to visit again. read more

I really like this place. Staff were pretty attentive and checked back. Limited menu but everything I've eaten here has felt and tasted absolutely top quality freshness and flavours - even the Caesars salad late in the day: the lettuce was crispy, crunchy and vibrant. This is a go-to place for me now when I'm in town. I'll be on the patio next time though it was absolutely freezing indoors- the obsession with AC in the mid sixties in this country ???!! read more

The place is small but staff friendly. Food was very good will visit again. Louder place because of the size but manageable.

Pros: cool ambiance, friendly staff Cons: overly seasoned food, excessive sodium, small menu with limited food options, when they ran out of steak frites from such a small menu to begin with, it became very challenging to order something satisfying as alternative read more

Interesting restaurant with a buzz, great service, nice menu selection will definitely return

This was a great restaurant! We stopped in for lunch when traveling through the area and it definitely looked like the best restaurant around. My wife and I enjoyed a nice local IPA and cocktail and had the crispy Brussels sprouts for appetizer, which was absolutely delicious. My wife had the kale salad with grilled chicken and she really enjoyed it. I had the crispy fried chicken club and it was very tasty as well. Service was good and it was a very nice lunch overall. We'd definitely stop in again if we're ever in the area! read more

Excellent everything ! Staff , food and location! It was and awesome experience to eat there

Very well priced for everything being made fresh. The service was excellent! The vibe of the restaurant was very laid back and fun. The food was great, not the best burger I've ever had, but was very tasty and was clearly a well made smash burger. Similar to five guys just less seasoning. Truffle fries were great but I couldn't really pin point the truffle taste. It might've been in the sauce. So overall they're just really good Parmesan fries. read more
