    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!

    Chicken milanese

    Amazing! The staff could not be more friendly. We were made to feel so welcome. Great craft beer and cocktails. We ordered the brussel sprouts, hot honey chicken sandwich, Chicken Milanese and chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was spectacular! A cute little place that knows how to serve great food and customer service.

    Brussels sprouts and Caesar salad!

    Very nice place to eat looks clean and the window view looks great. We ate Streak and fries upgrade so good, Brussels sprouts BOMB! Peanut butter smashed burger soft and delicious, lastly the favorite Caesar salad hit the spot! Our server was very friendly and polite.

    Tennessee Style Jalapeño Slaw Burger

    The very FIRST burger of the moment for March...waited while it was created. Had the sweet potato bravas while I waited for the creation. 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.

    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!

    Wagu Burger

    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!

    Great mocktail, yummy Caesar salad and a mouth watering hot honey chicken sandwich. Unexpected, delicious, and delightful.

    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!

    My fiancé and my FAVORITE place in Evansville, IN! We love the classic smash, Nashville hot chicken and the spicy fries. We love this place so much that we got engaged here and plan on doing engagement pictures here as well! We love the staff, vibes, food and drinks. Nothing bad to say about this GEMin Evansville!

    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.

    BLT

    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!!

    In town from Southern California visiting friends & family. We have two bars we go to when in…read moretown... Leroy's & Lamasco's. After making plans to meet up with my husband's high school friend, he suggested we come here. According to him, a bunch of his fireman friends hang out there & some of their older beloved teachers, from Evansville Mater Dei, which they hoped to run into. As soon as we sat down my husband & his friend found a friend immediately. They hugged & he sat down at our table, which was close to the front entrance. The tables were very cool! They are hinged to the wall & can be made so they are flat & do not take up space. From what I heard, the tables were custom made by a local artisan business. The fridges that housed the beers were commercial refrigerators you'd find at convenient stores, clear with one solid glass door. They were kind of industrial looking being in a bar, which I found aesthetically pleasing, but also smart. They are fully stocked & then can easily be seen when running low. This also allows customers to see what is & is NOT available. BRILLIANT! Drinks are very inexpensive. Bottles of wine can run you $12-16/bottle. Drinks are about $4! My husband's tab was less than $55 & we were there 5 hours! The bar owner is a good friend of our friend who was with us & he bought our pizzas, which were sausage & cheese. Unfortunately, the pizzas are pre-made by another restaurant & could not customize a non-dairy veggie pizza. So, no vegan options, but there are vegetarian options. The bathrooms are towards the back, a straight shot from the front door & designed with a Sailor Jerry themed murals on the doors. The service was great, the vibe was good, and has a mixed crowd, but mostly fire fighters. College night for a younger crowd is on Saturdays. We will definitely come again! My husband already came a 2nd time on our visit. I did not come along as I am feeling under the weather. We are eager to make this a meeting place with friends while in town.

    This bar is my favorite in town! Great atmosphere if you want to dance. Excellent place to spend…read moreyour weekend nights! The bartender, Lauren, was especially great, she ran the whole bar by herself. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun night!

    "If you tap it they will come." "Is this heaven?"…read more"No, it's Evansville." Ok, not heaven for sure but pretty darn good beer and friendly people. Well, this is brewery #303 for me. I almost didn't find it because apparently as SWPFTD would say I "wasn't looking hard enough". I'm a trained observer don't ya know! Anyway, I did find it obviously. It's a cute little storefront that's a pretty good size once you get in the door. There were about six people seated at the bar when I walked in. It's pretty clearly a good locals hangout. Everyone was super friendly and one of the gents at the bar ordered shots and offered me one. Well ok! A shot of tequila with a pineapple juice chaser is new to me but pretty damn good! I went with four beers tasters: Darkness on the Edge of Town milf. Oops I mean mild! The mild was that with a nice malty flavor. Arriba Arriba deep south lager is pretty non-offensive. Easy drinking and great in a hot day like today. Don Gets to Name It Amber had a flavor to it that was reminiscent of allspice. I'm not sure it was an addition or if it was the yeast. It was pretty pronounced though. SWPFTD would be pleased with this one. Holdens Hangover rye IPA was a good IPA. I got the rye flavor out of it which I like. I enjoyed the beers and the people at this little brewery. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.

    Great atmosphere and service. Pet friendly! The flights are excellent and a few good bourbons sold…read morehere as well!
