I Asked 'What's the Best Family Restaurant in Evansville'?

Let's pretend it's a Friday or Saturday evening. You and your family want to go out and have a nice meal together. You want to go somewhere that is friendly, has a selection of food that even the pickiest eater will enjoy, and you don't want to go broke in the process. So, the question is - where are you going?

I took this question to the masses on Facebook, to get opinions on the best family restaurant in Evansville. I combed through the hundreds of comments and replies and determined that the following eight restaurants got the most love online. Now, I'm asking you to make it a bit more official by casting a vote(s) so we can crown the champion.

Before you go any further, let me address a couple of the thoughts that you will undoubtedly have as you scroll through the choices.

  1. This poll is just for restaurants in Evansville. We might do another point for Newburgh or the surrounding area, but for now, we're just focusing on Evansville - that means you won't see the Log Inn or Nellie's on this list.
  2. These are all locally owned and operated restaurants, which means no chain restaurants. Nothing against a national chain - I mean, I love Applebee's and Logan's Roadhouse as much as the next guy, but you can find those in any town. We want to celebrate restaurants that are unique to Evansville.

Here's What Locals Said

How Many of These Locally Owned Restaurants Have You Tried?

I am one of the pickiest eaters that you will ever meet. Sometimes I have to get out of my comfort zone and try something new. Here's a list of locally owned eateries that we can all try.

My pallet is very 'Kid menu' friendly, but I'll sit and watch Triple D all day. Now, not only has the show never been anywhere really close to us, it's been at least 9 years since Guy has filmed in Indiana. That in itself should be a crime. So, let's spread the word, and get these local eateries some national attention
