Famous Bistro

Always good food, responsive service, fair prices and comfortable.Usually close parking

I came here for dinner a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed my meal in this old school bistro! The servers were friendly and the ambiance was that of a classic small town restaurant with memorabilia from the owner's family! I stumbled upon some wholesome interactions among some regulars and servers which made it seem homey (and a hit in the community!). I enjoyed the salmon caesar salad and side of brussel sprouts (though I wish they had been cooked a touch more and with a little less sauce). Overall, a fun spot with good food!

This place looks unassuming but WOWZA! Service and food is KILLER!! Mackenzie served the three of us with a smile and a lot of patience. I had, without a doubt, the BEST CLUB SANDWICH IN MY LIFE here yesterday. The bread is soft and the turkey, ham, lettuce and bacon were plentiful without being ridiculous. I forgot to say easy on the mayo and they did it perfectly anyway! It takes a big bite to get it done, but legitimately delicious. Mackenzie offered pickles on the side and said they were spicy. I love spicy!! Those pickles were HOT! hahah. I was wincing and sniffling but Yummy!! My lunch companions had a Caesar salad with a gorgeous piece of salmon on top and the other had a Philly cheesesteak that she downed too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you're downtown and need a good meal. Sorry, I usually get better pics but get this sandwich anyway.

Ek MekGreek SaladJumbo ScallopsSouth West Salmon Salad all delicious and perfectly prepared. Great for healthy eaters and gourmet diners and everyday folks.

Cozy spot. Great service and tasty food. Waitress was very helpful and assisted us with specific health requests. Fun spot. Just down the road from Hilton and Holiday Inn

The brunch here is fantastic! Be sure to make a reservation for indoor or outdoor seating. The service was excellent--very friendly staff, and our food came out quickly. The mimosas were also enjoyable. Overall, it was a great experience with a lovely atmosphere and delicious food, though the brunch is on the pricier side.

Food was amazing! I had the steak sandwich and It was delicious. Highly recommend this place.

First I would like to say I have lived all over the US and enjoy all different types of foods. First thing my wife and I noticed was the cheese steaks wit whiz if ya know ya know. I decided on the Gyro, it was fantastic. My wife got the roasted eggplant moussaka and wow probably the best things she has eaten in Owensboro. our kids got the generic kids stuff (pizza, grilled cheese) but they also enjoyed it, our oldest loved the eggplant as well. Service was top notch, and the setting reminded me of a little corner rearestaurant in NYC. Great place I highly recommend it, can't believe it took us so long to find Famous Bistro it's our new favorite place.

Pizza had too much basil. It was a take out order, they forgot the chips that were ordered with the sandwich, and no olives in the hummus platter.

Was hoping to take advantage of reservations online. Won't make that mistake again. Wanted reservation for 18 October, 2024, made it on 17 October, was give to believe that I would be contacted to confirm. That did not happen. I called at 3PM to confirm, they had no record of online reservation. Was told a manager would call. That has not happened either. Guess they are too busy!
