  The food was great!  I ordered fried catfish with a side salad and green beans.  The green beans were awesome! Flavored well (down south taste) and definitely not canned!  The catfsih was seasoned well, fried and flaky.  The dinner rolls were yummy.  The side salad was just iceburg lettuce but its like saying Paula Deene is known for making salads and she isn't!! I asked for vinagrette and you would have thought I cursed the lady - she said we have creamy italian!  
  
  Now, the place looks like Mel's Diner - it even sits in front of a pay by the hour type motel.  I debated getting out the car, but decided to go for it.  It definitely has a Mayberry feel.  The service was horrible.  I walked in, no one greeted me.  The one lady kept stapling the daily specials to the menus. I spent most of the time talking to the back of my waitress's head as she walked away because she never made eye contact, brought me extra napkins, a straw, refilled my drink or anything else.
  
  HOWEVER, if you look like you belong in Mayberry then you will receive awesome service!  However, if you are just passing through or happen to have a designer shades or a handbag expect to be treated like an alien!  There is no southern hospitality to strangers at this diner!

  It's the best and probably last place you can have a GREAT little breakfast at a modest price here in town or at least on the north side.  
  And definitely, it's the place to be if your a retiree!!!

  I spent seven years living in Evansville, Indiana and just about every weekend from the time I was 6 until I was almost 15, we went to Merry Go Round for breakfast or dinner. It's nothing fancy, but they serve some of the best food around. When my sister and I went  back to Indiana after 7 years away (having moved to Tucson, Arizona with our parents in 2001), we made sure to stop in at the Merry Go Round. It brought back childhood memories and we both ordered some of our old favorites. A grilled chese and fries for me with a cup of navy bean soup and a bowl of chili and a hamburger for her with coffee. All for under $15 (including the small price for switching fries for chips on the sandwiches). I'm not kidding, this place is really good. Make sure to stop in if you're ever in Evansville.
