Dinner Recommendations:

House of Como

Middle Eastern food & steakhouse. This Evansville hole in the wall is famous for the fact that it use to be a stop for mobsters.

-Must have Reservations (812) 422-0572

-Cash only

Log Inn

Best fried chicken and mashed potatoes in the Midwest. Log Inn gets crowded on the weekend but it is worth the wait and small drive. If you go with 3 or more people you can be served family style. The Log Inn is an old stagecoach stop and trading post that is famous for the fact that Abraham Lincoln stopped by in 1844.

-Cash only

Madeline's

If you are looking for something a bit fancier, Madeline's is your place. Right in the heart of downtown, I think Madeline's has some of the best food in Evansville. The menu changes weekly and features the freshest seafood and prime meats combined with a fusion flair that makes your dining experience truly unique and pleasurable every time. This is also a great place to get a nice glass of wine with your dinner.

-Walking distance from the hotels

Bru Burger

Need a burger and want a place that is close to your hotel? Bru is an old Greyhound station that was converted into a burger joint. It is a great place to grab a beer and sit on the patio.
