Cork 'n Cleaver

Always a great experience! My family and I have been come here since the 1980's and we love it! Always great service, great cuts of meat, and an amazing salad bar. When I bring new friends to town and they see the salad bar, they always chuckle. It appears to be very small. I always say "just fill your plate and taste the freshness." The reaction is always the same. "That was a great salad bar!"

The service was terrible. We were there to celebrate my mom. The waiter couldn't take a joke even if it smacked him in the face. The place looks like it did in the 1900s, and it smells like an old bowling alley where everyone was able to smoke. Food was nothing to talk about, only mediocre.

Genuinely disgusting. After being recommended this place way too often we tried it. Evansville, you don't have to settle for this trash. The service was embarrassingly bad. The food was... barely legally food. The bar is a joke. Dive bars have better programs. Please let this place go out of business so that someone who is willing to try can open a restaurant there.

I had dinner here because a friend wanted to celebrate his birthday with a steak. So, we made reservations and planned accordingly. We arrived on time but still had to wait around for 25 minutes before we were able to be seated; I was really surprised it was that long because a few tables were clear. But, I also understand that there could be staffing issues, etc. After we sat down, we waited another 10 minutes before we were greeted by our server and able to get water. The server was not very helpful when asked about the specials on the menu; he did not go into detail about what the specials actually were. It's like he only knew the names of what they were that night. So, I took a chance on a big pork chop. What. A. Mistake. My wallet and palate immediately regretted it. It was so dry; I honestly believe I could have done a better job at home on a George Foreman grill. It's almost like they knew it was dry and tried to supplement the dryness with sauce. I did, however, like the flavor of the sauce. I would have sent the porkchop back, but I had to wait 45 minutes to get it. At that point, I was so hungry that I didn't really want to wait another 45 minutes. I also ordered two margaritas, but they aren't worth going into detail over. They were inconsistent and lacked flavor.I generally don't leave non-positive reviews, but I felt this one was relevant. I've been to two birthday celebration dinners within the last couple of months at Cork 'n Cleaver, and neither were worth the money. It was very disappointing for the price charged. I don't anticipate a return visit anytime soon.

Melt in your mouth steaks. Salad bars from the old days. Perfect martinis. Excellent service.

Had the prime rib and baked potato. Both were delicious. Also really enjoyed the salad bar.

It would be helpful if this business answered the phone so I could have made reservations. No matter what time I called today it said call back during hours

The steak was great . Loved that they still have a salad bar. The inside had an old style charm to it. The service was good as well. Met some really nice and interesting locals which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend going to the Cork n Clever. Very neat way to display menu on the clever .

Ordered a drink , waited 30 minutes to order. appetizer took 15 to show up. ordered a second drink and had to request to order my meal. she was busy (Sam) barely touched my second drink ,waited another 30 minutes.Prime rib showed up and no lobster tail as requested was told another 15 minutes. when I said it was not as to menu . a second lady showed up and they pulled my plate.?? asked to speak to manager and was told I was expecting too much. Paid 41$ for 2 drinks and mushrooms. Only had one drink and mushrooms. Will Not go back. Called to complain to manager and got same girl who was second lady. Not Manager . She hung up on me. Did not waste my time on a second call. Terrible service Inside and Out.

Visiting family gor Christmas. We're from Evansville and Cork and Cleaver is a favorite. We wanted a nice quiet dinner where we could visir with local family. Service during our meal was great. As we were finishing up, staff was being very obnoxious and making all kind of noises (banging things, being intentionally very loud). It became apparent they were trying to get us to leave...which we did. Ruined what was intended to be a wonderful family dinner. We were essentially chased out at 8:30 on a Sunday, although we started to hear the commotion as early as 8:00. We are used to restaurants accommodating guests and not imposing on their dining experience and ruining. Sadly, overall, very disappointed.
