Ok Evansville folks...taking my oldest to USI for a quick visit tomorrow. Any suggestions for a neat place to eat lunch. Nothing too fancy but not McDonalds or Bob Evans. We can get that in Bedford.

If you like German food: Gerst Haus at 2100 Franklin.
Smitty's italian is close to Gerst Haus too. Little pricier.
Both are places we take the daughter to when visiting her at USI

Turoni's pizza, the hill top inn is good if you have time to mess around they are not the fastest but it's good. The Log Inn if you like chicken family style sides (CASH AND CHECK ONLY!!!) If I had only one place to go in Evansville for supper that would be it. I don't know if you plan on being here that late though. Spanky's pizza just down the road from USI is good as well. Gohsr Quesadilla is pretty good too. DO NOT GO TO LOGAN'S 🤢 Wish I wasn't working, I'd come just to say hello and shake hands. I live 5 minutes from USI.
Swindianapaul's suggestions are good too.

If you’re there at breakfast time check out a hole in the wall named The Cross Eyed Cricket. Best breakfast on the west side.

Thanks guys. We are on a hot lap tour so probably get quick lunch, visit the school and head home.
German is good. Pizza is always good too. We can discuss which one on the way down

PURDUE! XXX steak house burger. Dont waste her time down there. Oh please, Purdue really? Both my wife and I are USI graduates, so I can’t say enough good things about the school, although I’m sure it’s totally different now then it was when I graduated in 2004. The magazines and other materials I get shows it’s grown into quite the modern campus now, but still small enough you don’t feel lost when attending. Far enough away to be in their own, but not so far you can’t get there if really needed.

USI is a great school.
I’ve had three grandkids graduate from there.
All three have done well in life. One is an Ultrasound technician for Deaconess Women’s Hospital. Hired right out of college. . Another grand daughter is into sales . Grandson did well enough he was accepted in Loma Linda Medical School and is now the head Pediatrician at Daytons Children’s Hospital.
It’s a good school that’s going Division 1 in basketball this fall.

My daughter went to USI for 1 day. It looked like a good school with plenty for them to do. I don't remember where we ate but I do remember a hunting store that was close to our hotel. I got some camo clothes on sale. I don't remember the name of the store.

The basketball program always did really well during our years there, so glad they’re stepping up and wish them the best going forward.

Gohst Quesadilla is a good place to eat.😁

PURDUE! XXX steak house burger. Dont waste her time down there. That is scheduled for the 27th. It is her front runner choice. She is at peace with the idea of wearing black and gold for a while she goes for engineering degree. Her 2nd option is IU for Physics. But she wants to visit USI and IUPUI just to see if it has any appeal. BSU didn't make the cut.

Well she wasn't blown away. The staff we met was not prepared and the tour was not much better.
We both liked the campus.
Ate at Pangea's...had the pistachio pizza. It was a 10 out of 10.
