Great friendly prompt service and good food. The french dip and fries were tasty. I'm looking forward to trying other things on the menu. Very comfortable restaurant.
Okay, I've heard about Hornet's Nest, and driven by numerous times. But in my 67 years have never eaten here. Friendly and courteous staff greeted us as soon as we came. We had loaded potato skins for an appetizer and they were very good. Covered with lots of melted cheese and bacon. We had ours without the onions and peppers that come with these too. We had chicken alfredo, with breaded chicken and "Nest" favorite beef Manhattan. Both were delicious. See the photos. This will be a favorite stop for us from now on. Get out and try something new.
The Honey Buffalo Chicken and biscuits were amazing. The hashbrown casserole was Devine. I've never had anything eating out that tastes so close to how we cook at home lots of pepper and garlic.The staff was super nice and we never had to wait for refills.
A go to place on the north side of Evansville. I don't think I've ever left dissatisfied.The burgers, chicken, pasta, and brunch items (Saturday and Sunday) have always been on point.Also nice to enjoy their outdoor seating.
Visited the Hornets Nest last night with some friends. I live in Illinois and don’t get to Evansville that often, it was my first visit to the Hornets Nest, but it certainly won’t be my last. Great atmosphere, great food and server, you can’t ask for more than that.
One of my favorite places in Evansville. Servers are always polite and prompt, and the food is always excellent. Everything on the menu is good, but my go-to is the Beef Manhattan.
Ordered carryout for my wife and I. Order was ready around the time I was given and order was complete. Also was still at a warm temp. when we opened at home. Will definitely try again.
Great food and service. Many great experiences here over the years. If you like chicken gizzards they have great ones here. Their sandwiches are really good and reasonably priced. Watch for their specials because they have several entrees that are really good.
A Sunday tradition. The staff is like family. They know us and treat us right. They have since we first started going many years ago. The food is hot. The drinks are cold. My coffee cup is never empty.
Normally I don’t give reviews on public platform, but I thought I could be of some service and forewarn others. Just to preface, the service was excellent! I crossed out the server’s name in the attached photo as this review is not based on their behalf.TLDRIf you want to spend $70 on one meal for a cold, unseasoned 14 oz steak, this is the place to go!I’d also like to add that this was my first time at the Hornet’s Nest, and will most likely be my last time. My sister and boyfriend tagged along with me as I was in the mood for steak, and when we walked in we were greeted with a sign that ordered us to seat ourselves. It didn’t take long for the server to greet us and hand out the menus. We ordered the pulled pork fries (without blue cheese crumbles) as an appetizer and searched the rest of the menu for a good steak. We were then given our drinks: tea, lemonade, Dr. Pepper. My boyfriend approved of the tea (he orders tea anywhere we go), the lemonade was as expected, and my sister thought the Dr. Pepper was flat and syrup-y (she also orders Dr. Pepper anywhere we go). My boyfriend and I like to share our food so we decided on the 14 oz Ribeye with mashed potatoes and gravy and a loaded baked potato. My sister ordered chicken tenders, fries, and wild rice. Though, we noticed the prices alongside the menu items were blacked out, which when asked about the server explained that the prices were changed. Again, the service was great and the food came out quickly. The steak was cold and unseasoned and the mashed potatoes were school quality at best. The baked potato was dry and tasteless and my sister’s only complaint was that she didn’t like her rice. We ordered the steak as medium rare, but in some parts it was medium, but I’m aware that happens with steaks. Once we were given the bill we were surprised to see that the rib-eye cost $43! When it was marked out on the menu it was about $33, usually price changes don’t jump $10 so it was unexpected. If you want a 14 oz Ribeye that costs $43, this is the place to go! $70 spent on ONE meal! If I could give 0 stars I would. Let’s just say, don’t go here for the steak.
