    Nice selection of burgers and pizza, they also have a sampler so you can enjoy a little bit of everything. Service is great and the view of the sunset and the old court house is amazing.

    Rooftop smash burger and fries

    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!!

    The pizza was nothing more than a frozen pizza with sausage and onion added. The fries are sweet rather than savory, definitely not a fan!

The menu tonight was predetermined with great options. Service was a little slow tonight, but that is to be expected when the entire restaurant is at capacity with reservations. My husband and I loved the appetizers. It was a sample of shrimp cocktail, spinach dip with pita bread, and sriracha honey bacon brussel sprouts. I ordered the garden salad for my next course while my husband chose the broccoli mushroom chowder. We each enjoyed our choice. For the main course I had the marinated grilled chicken with creamy spinach and artichoke, and my husband had the 16 ounce bone in ribeye. Both main dishes came with a twice baked potato and roasted vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans, bell pepper). My chicken was slightly overcooked, but it wasn't too noticeable with the creamy topping. My husband's steak was cooked to perfection. We both enjoyed the sides. We got dessert to go as we were so full by that point. I chose the carrot cake and he got the cheesecake. Our son was very happy we decided to bring the desserts home so he could also try them. Both were delicious, but the carrot cake was the standout. We look forward to returning to have their regular menu.

    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!
