House of Como

Salad with flat bread was delicious. Cinnamon chicken was wonderful. Service was great.Seating was private.

As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. That is certainly true of House of Como! One review I saw said that if you see it when it's not open, you'd think it's an abandoned building. I can't argue with that. The blown out sign out front, dingy looking building and year-round Christmas decor can make you think twice about going in. But trust me - you want to go in! Once inside the kitschy Christmas decor, dining tables that are slightly too high for the blue-vinyl-covered chairs, and generally '70s feel make the place feel charming and comfortable rather than dated. Ok, so what about the food? We were thinking of sharing a t-bone, but our server, Denver, said it's about 2 1/2 lbs and we thought that would be way too much steak for 2 of us, so we opted for the "2 thick cut pork chops". Denver recommended that we start with their Arabian salad, so we did. We also ordered lyonnaise potatoes and green beans as sides. The salad was great. It comes with flat bread and is dressed with a lemon garlic dressing. A great start to the meal. The pork chops - "thick cut" is definitely an understatement! They were gigantic. They were also nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection - just the slightest pink inside, almost imperceptibly which left them incrediby juicy but with an amazing seared crust. They were easily the best pork chops I've ever had! The lyonnaise potatoes were golden, brown and deliciously crispy on the outside and pillowy soft inside. The green beans were probably the weakest part of the meal. They were pretty much typical mid-western cooked to death veg. But actually that was somewhat comforting in a way too. We both had very low expectations going in. House of Como far exceeded them and is easily now one of our favorite local restaurants!

Very nice place for a dinner. Their salad, bread, and steaks are amazing. We didn't love the other items we got, but the steak was one of the best we've ever had.

The daughters of George demand the same consistency as their father. Be it drinks or steaks. It's a local place. Please don't come if you don't live here. You won't understand how amazing this place is. Cash or check- I love it. Fillet served on white bread. Please don't come here. We have enough locals to pack this place every week without you!

Evansville Indiana has some real gems but House of Como is my favorite go to while traveling. It's filled with Christmas decorations, served on paper placemats, and cash only. If you order steak medium well or well done I wouldn't recommend it.....they serve ultra premium cuts of beef and pork and they should be cooked to highlight the quality. It's quirky, it's delicious, and it's an extremely high quality meal in a family friendly setting.

Never disappoints! I love taking guests from out of town to Como. I enjoy telling them, just trust me!

Don't let the exterior or location scare you off. The very best lamb chops we've ever had. Read the reviews and go. You will not be disappointed

Classic, delish, a must visit while in EVV for beef!

It's just great to find a restaurant with as much personality as House of Como when chain restaurants become ever more dominant. I had a great meal here--a very tender filet mignon, baked potato, and at the insistence of the fabulous waitress, the house salad with Como's famous dressing and Arabian flatbread. Delicious. No, it doesn't look like much from the outside situated as it is on a rather forlorn strip of garages and such, not too mention its larger-than-life sign with several missing letters. But on the inside, the ambiance is warm, friendly, and inviting. And the meat is high quality. I wish I'd gotten the name of my waitress (the slim woman with the bright blonde curls); she made this first-time visitor to the restaurant feel right at home. If you prefer a cold, sterile environment where you could be in any city at all, go seek out someplace like Ruth's Chris. But if you want great food and service and a one-of-a-kind memorable experience, House of Como is for you.

A unique experience.A unique experience. All options are good.Cash only. Lasagna my favorite.
