Rooftop smash burger and fries
Hannah K.

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!

Drink Menu + Caramel Appletini

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!

Bad Randy's Hot Chicken & BBQ Lounge

(12 reviews)

I just had takeout, so I haven't had the opportunity to eat in. Cool decor. Nice decorations. The…read morebar is definitely fully stocked. I had the crab cakes, chicken sandwich, and hatch chili grits. All were delicious . I went to spice level 4 on my sandwich. I love spicy foods but 4 was plenty to where I could still taste it. The lady working the register was friendly and my food came out quickly. I'll definitely return.

Last two times eating here everything was excellent. Service, food, drinks. Don't know if tonight…read moreequates to inconsistency creeping in or just a bad night. An experienced server would have rejected our appetizer and my plate from the kitchen. Truly the best fried cheese sticks in the area. Level 3 heat, fried to golden, wonderful cheese stretch to the bite. Perfect. But, not tonight. Over cooked, dark brown, greasy, with cheese leaking out. Bitter burnt taste competed with the spice and cheese. Disappointed. Chicken was great as always. Though the spice levels were off tonight. Two of us ordered level 4, the same as on previous visits. This time was very mild. The cheese sticks (lvl3) were WAY spicier. Chicken was not close to previous visits heat levels. And the fries! I just gave up. Should have sent the whole meal back but wanted the chicken and others are the table didn't order the fries so I let it go. Tonight's side of fries was sad to look at under those nice strips. Over cooked, small, dark, broken bits in a pile. Not a single fry over an inch long. Just the dregs of the fry bin scraped from the bottom and dumped on my plate instead of in the trash where they belonged. Service was decent but below past experiences here. Greeted, seated upstairs, waitress stops by to announce she will bring water. Comes back with said water and leaves before taking drink orders or asking if we already knew our appetizer order. Circled back in a bit to take drink orders. When drinks finally made it, we stopped her to order appetizers and entrees. Toward the end of the meal, server did ask if we wanted dessert, nope. Didn't ask if we wanted another drink at anytime. First time we have only had one drink here. Just brought the check. Still plenty of empty tables and a few open bar seats, didn't feel like she was trying to turn the table for next service. Just ticking the boxes: done with food, no dessert, give them the check. Hoping our next visit is closer to earlier experienced than tonight's.
