lashr1999 Says: Casino Aztar was pretty nice since it is near the river. However, the slot do not pay out well. I ended up losing money, I won’t say how much. They do have some good live entertainment at times. Corky's BBQ has some yummy BBQ. I loved eating the full rack of ribs with the...
rianp Says: The first full week of every October, the city finally comes alive. Over 100 food vendors show up along West Franklin much to the joy of the crowds. 85 years strong, and still going.It allows people to actually be friendly for a while and enjoy some good, if not odd local...

The Bar-B-Q Shack: Bummer if you want good Barbecue !
BonA68 Says: THE BAR-B-Q SHACK (4430 N. First Ave. at North Park Shopping Center, Evansville, Indiana. Ok… so I heard on the news that last week a presidential candidate was in town and was taken to eat at The Bar-B-Q Shack here in town. I love good barbecue and am always hoping to find...
Denny's: Good Chain Restaurant
Basaic Says: I like the retro-look of these Denny's Diners. This one was pretty nice. My waitress was nice, friendly and efficient. I had the Tilapia Ranchero which was very tasty.
Temptations Buffet: worth missing
miner Says: I thought the buffet was very overpriced with very little to choose from. The catfish was overcooked and the dressing tasted like Stovetop Stuffing gone wrong.I hope we just ate there at a bad time and otherwise the food and selection will be better but there are too many...
GD Ritzy's: Fast Food that's actually worth it.
rianp Says: Hamburger and Ice Cream shop that will not dissapoint. Super thin burgers served with shoestring fries. Regular Hamburger and Fries Combo.Ultimate PB&J sandwich. Peanut Butter with chopped Peanuts on top, with jelly covered in sliced strawberrys.All ice creams are made in...
Hilltop Inn: Old Fashioned Tavern Food
rianp Says: Small Place, good people, great food. You could go on forever about this Historic location, or any number of things, I prefer to keep it as simple as their food. If you are in town, stop by and grab a bite, you won't be dissapointed. My favorite is the simple cheeseburger...
The Gerst Haus Bavarian Restaurant: The German Heritage Shows
rianp Says: In a Westside location that appears to have the same age as the city, and every bit of the heritage.The Gerst Haus is a place we often go on a Friday after work to wind down with plenty of good beer and lots of good people.This place is very hopping during the week of the...
Fox and the Hound: Good drinks and good pool
rianp Says: Fox is a good place to go with some friends and enjoy a night out drinking. It's not loud or over crowded, there is no booty dancing or people attempting to fight. The higher prices and the dress code keep the trouble away.Great pool tables, good cigars, ice cold beer. No...
A sample of bars to see: The bar scene in Evansville
jumphercable Says: 1 The Jungle - upscale cocktail bar in the downstairs of the resturant2 Fox and Hound - pool, clean place, good beer3 Fast Eddies - band and dance floor, cheap beer on most nights4 Hoosier Lounge - it's the lower floor of the Casino and is fun to stop in4 Oxygen - dance...
rianp Says: Evansville is not a Mass Transit freindly city. Cabs cannot be hailed, they must be called, and prepare to wait 30-45 minutes for a pickup. Cabs are usually reservered for travel to and from bars, not usually getting around town. Buses do move around town, but are not very...
Hyw. 64, east or west or Hwy....
litown Says: Hyw. 64, east or west or Hwy. 41 north or south. The best air travel would be thru Delta and Comair thru Cinnicinati, Ohio connection as the rest of the computer planes are quite small and scary.Bus or trolley cars and auto
Just understand that people are not in a hurry.
rianp Says: Driving around town can be a terrible experience. No one understands the use of the "fast lane" You will be driving down a 3 lane road, with 3 cars spanned across the lanes all going 5 under the speed limit. You can either rip your hair out getting mad or just give in and...
WheelDweller Says: When you book a hotel here, you need to ask around. Sometimes staying one more day can turn up a lot more fun.In the summer time, sure- there's the big Thunder On the Ohio thing, but that's just one of dozens of Riverside-Drive-closing activites. There are barbecue cookoffs...
rianp Says: The only places to really avoid in Evansville are places the normal tourist or business traveler will never go. To call them dangerous zones is pushing it, as there are very very few places I would not walk at night.If you want to stay out of the parts of the city where...
miner Says: Evansville is known as "Stoplight City" and for a good reason! When stopped at a stop light ,wait a second after you traffic light turns green and watch for people running a red light before you proceed.It is common here.
Helpfulness
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: in summer it is usually hot and muggy, being close to both the Ohio and the Wabash Rivers, In the fall and Spring it can also be very warm and we normally do not get much snow in winter, sometimes we receive more ice. So you plan accordingly
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: There are 3 hospitals, many med-care center around town which are available
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Burdette Park offers great camping but also has mosquitoes

Helpfulness
THE DOWNTOWN AREA WAS THE HEART OF THE CITY SEVERAL YEARS AGO.NOW EVERYTHING IS MOVING TO THE OUTSKIRTS. EVANSVILLE IS TRYING TO RENEW INTEREST IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. FOR YEARS AUTO TRAFFIC WAS PROHIBITED BUT LATELY TRAFFIC HAS BEEN ALLOWED THROUGH THIS AREA AGAIN.

sambarnett Says: My main memory? A greasy, unkempt man on a bike rode past a grotesquely obese woman and commented something along the lines of, "I'm followin' ya." She then began a torrent of loud and graphic obscenities, which she continued with for almost 3 blocks. None of it can be...

Bill_Herald Says: You know the Madi Gras is the biggest street festival in American-BUT what's #2? It's right here in Evansville in October-the Westside Nut Club FALL FESTIVAL. Over 100,000 folks patrol the west side of Evansville for a week on Franklin Street enjoying entertainment and...

When first going online to research what to do in Kentucky and Indiana, I did not find much. Actually, going to this area I found I needed more time to do other stuff I wanted.
Evansville is a fast growing area of southern Indiana. It used to be people had no clue where I was speaking of when I told them where I was from.... but now more and more people recognize the city.
