Pips Pub

What a find! Friday lunch was delicious. We started out with the Pretzel Sticks and Beer Cheese and they were outstanding. The cheese sauce was so good! Then we had the 6-inch Stromboli Sandwich and Onion Rings, Mac & Smashed Burger with Fries and the Thai Salad. Everything was amazing. My husband wished he'd gotten the 12" Stromboli right away because he inhaled it.

PIPS Pub was such a cool experience! It's set in an old 1950's Denny's diner that has been completely updated on the interior. This restaurant is as CLEAN as they come. The service was excellent, the cooks very quick, efficient, and wearing hair nets! You certainly don't see that often these days. The food came out just as described and was sooo delicious. I had the citrus chicken rice bowl , which was big enough for 2. If you find yourself in the Haubstadt/ Northern Evansville area you've gotta stop in for a wonderful meal!

This was a great place to stop on our road trip. We came for lunch and our waitress was so nice and helpful. I got the Wednesday special of the catfish platter. The fish was good (I'm not normally a big catfish fan), but it was good and not overly fishy. The fries were also the first sweet fries I've had. This was a nice casual stop that was clean and comfortable seating.

Had to try it again! Stopped on our way back to St Louis and ordered the Special of the Day $7 salads. I ordered the Thai Chicken salad. It was so good! Lots of chicken and toppings. The dressing was amazing as well. This place is truly a gem. The owners are so nice and genuine. We will be back for sure on our next trip to Louisville.

This was our 2nd time eating here when passing through on interstate 64. The food is served fresh and hot and the service is wonderful. Today we had the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich and the mango habanero chicken wrap. Both were generous portions of chicken and were served with amazing sweet spicy fries. We will definitely be back!

What keeps me coming back to Pips Pub is the food and service. Their catfish and hot chicken sandwiches are my favorites as well as their onion rings. Everything has been fresh and high quality. Pips stands above everything else in the area.

Pips Pub caught my eye due to the distinctive chrome building. You can't miss it. There's a bit of peeling of the onion here though. Pips is named like an English bar, looks like a retro diner from the outside, looks like a startup roadhouse on the inside, and has a diverse menu that is standard American restaurant. The seating indoors is plentiful with lots of tables, booths, and a long bar near the entrance. I was thinking this was a hot rod diner at first and would have gone with a brighter color than brown for the seating, but it blends with the barn-finish wood, standard neon and metal promotional signage, and simple paint scheme. There's also a large patio (partially covered) for use when the weather is nice and live bands play. Not much of a view with hotels surrounding it and the highway out front, but pleasant nonetheless. The menu is diverse. Lots of basic appetizers, plenty of sandwiches, Stromboli's, pizza, and a couple of desserts. There doesn't seem to be a lot of specialization, but our chicken sandwiches were very good and hit the spot. Fries and fried pickles were crispy and hot. Service was excellent! Jesse was the only guy working all the tables at lunch and nailed it. Pips is a nice spot and worth a visit!

Nostalgic Diner with old music playing and a clean setting. The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. We all got different items. I got the Meat Stromboli with fries and a side of cole slaw. It was basically a pizza sub. The roll was fresh and soft with a bit of butter and Italian seasoning. The sauce was a rich, thick pizza sauce. Overall it was pretty good. The fries have a brown sugar and pepper seasoning and are really good. The slaw was a vinegar slaw with pickled banana peppers. It was different. Jacob got the Chicken on the Beach. The rice was seasoned and a little crispy. It gave it another texture and the grilled chicken was good. Someone ordered the pulled pork mac and cheese and the buffalo chicken sandwich. Both said they were good.

I now have a new favorite steak and cheese sandwich! The steak was fresh cut and delicious. My husband's Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich was great too! The people were friendly and our server was excellent!

I chose Pip's Pub due to it's proximity to my hotel, yelp reviews and untapp'd showing a couple of craft beers.First, as far as pubs go, this is more Gastro than Irish. The building is an updated diner, so the bar is the counter, only 4 taps (2 national macros, one national micro and one local). Limited liquor selection although they did have a seasonal cocktail menu. There is a TV over the bar, but I don't see this being a go to for game night.I sat at the bar, it looked like they had a decent sized dining room and a large patio that was not in use in December. The menu seemed to be elevated bar/comfort food; I almost just ordered appetizers but went for the pulled pork mac and cheese. The portion was appropriately sized; I was full when I finished, but didn't end up leftovers. The pulled pork was tender, I would have preferred a little less sauce as I couldn't get much flavor from the pork.The sign said new management and it looked like they had three people working (Monday night), two in the kitchen and one front of house. The waitress/server/bartender was always on the move but provided good service.The only odd thing was they cut the person next to me off. He wasn't drunk or belligerent, but he had 6 Michelob Ultras and that is their limit. She was polite but firm when he pointed out he had walked over from his hotel and he paid his bill with no issue. Not sure if that is a bar policy or local law.All and all I will probably be back next time I am in town.
