We stumbled across this restaurant on our trip to Evansville to visit the LST, and the Cross Eyed…read moreCricket was nearby. Trusting their website advice to overlook the appearance of their restaurant, which is located in an older house in a more industrial area, we decided to have dinner in a non traditional restaurant, and we were very glad that we did. The service was excellent, so friendly and efficient that we could have been in a 5 star restaurant. But you wouldn't find food that good in most fancy restaurants. We started with a plate of fried green tomatoes, and while no one is ever going to fix them as well as Daddy did in his iron skillet, they provided a dip to join them that was quite good... certainly, not one that Daddy ever thought of! Auntie had the pulled pork dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy & apple sauce. She ordered the appetizer brussell sprouts, and they were amazing! Hubby went with one of his favorite meals: fried catfish; yes, he almost inhaled it! As always, his German fried potatoes were great, and what can you really say about cottage cheese? It was there, and he ate it I went for the kubuki steak with fried cabbage & onions & mushrooms. The fried rice was delicious, but the ribeye took "delicious" to a whole new level! Oh! My goodness! It practically melted in my mouth! And the cabbage!! Wonderful! The "50's" down-home furnishings were likely family hand-me-downs & yard-sale finds, not particularly pretty but serviceable and authentic. Everything was very clean, even the too-small restroom, which reminded me of the first one my grandmother ever had in her house. Again, it was clean, but there was a leak on the restroom floor, something that can easily be repaired. If you are looking for upscale decor, don't come here. But if you want terrific food, friendly service, and a delightful experience, be sure to visit the Cross Eyed Cricket; it's wonderful! I understand there's a sister Cross Eyed Cricket in a three-story building right in the middle of the charming downtown. Their food might be almost as good as we had, but I think the lost atmosphere will detract from the visit. It's your call!

Used to have the best krinkle fries around, now serving hard overcooked regular fries, "Pulled pork" is instead big hard chunks of pork that fall off the sandwich and absorb no bbq sauce inside so just taste like bland meat. One time they give you all the fixins for a loaded baked potato, and the next time they load it for you. Should care more about the food being served than planning karaoke and bingo.

It's in a former retail establishment in a pre-turn of the 20th century building. There is a lot of the fixtures still in place. To that they have added much German cultural artifacts: beer signs and other objects. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. The food was good, if not outstanding. My companion had a schnitzel sandwich and I a 'German Reuben'. The Schnitzel was nicely prepared and her 'pommes frites' crisp and flavorful. My Reuben was generous, but I was a little confused: it was a standard Reuben, which is not a German sandwich, having been invented in Omaha NE. I had a German hefeweizen, which was as pleasant as expected. They have a decent selection of German-made and US beers.

Bathroom was just as filthy, reeked of piss.
