Rosie's Diner — Restaurant in Evansville

Authentic American greasy spoon dining experience.

After a 0 for 4 food experience around Paducah we wanted a decent dining experience on the way back to Michigan. After some surfing before we left, we found Rosie's Diner as a 4+ proposition. Now it wasn't easy to get there and we had some interesting experiences along the way...but that's another story.

We got there just before the lunch and we sat down to a full page breakfast menu with more stuff on the back. We did not get past the breakfast menu! Bacon, sausage, jowl bacon...JOWL bacon - never had that before, got to try it!

The portions are typically Midwest, i.e large (silver dollar pancakes the size of regular pancakes). The food was delicious and encouraged a finish despite the slight overstuffing required to complete the task.

The wife and I had a chat with lovely Rosie after the event as she worked her tail off during the busy lunch period. It is in an industrial area and the regular clientele reflect that and add to the authentic diner atmosphere. We loved it!

So if you are within striking distance of Evansville, IN - make a trip to Rosie's and do...

My husband and I stopped in for morning breakfast while we were in Evansville today, this was our first visit and customer service was A+++++ , the food here is excellent, before we left I saw a senior citizen sitting at a table alone eating his breakfast, I noticed he was wearing an Army service hat,he reminded me of my dad and I instantly felt I wanted to pay for his breakfast and before we left I walked over and asked him if I could pay for his breakfast, and said thank you for his service to our country, I mentioned to him that I had recently lost my dad in May and that he was an Army Vietnam Veteran who was stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii, he asked what my dads name was and I told him, this man was the sweetest man, before leaving out the door I wished him a happy Thanksgiving, God bless all American Veterans, you are truly appreciated and Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸⚘️Happy Veterans day to all. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸...
