As a roadrat, I am dining alone as usual, and while on my way to yet another fast food meal, I saw the sign for Live Music while driving down Columbia street in Evansville. I came in for a bar burger (a personal favorite and ended up ordering a pork steak with red beans and rice. Phenomenal! That was on Tuesday night. Tonight, Wednesday, live music is featured, so I HAD to return to sample the local wares. I ordered a DoubleDecker pizza, a speciality of the house. The 10' pepperoni, sausage, and extra cheese, is too much for one, but the leftovers go in the rental car trunk to be warmed up for breakfast. I loved the pork steak and fixings, but the DoubleDecker pizza was a little dry for me, albeit tasty. Maybe this appetite is looking for something a little less healthy : . If I'm ever in the area again, I hope I remember this place; my aged brain isn't as good as it was, but since the Deerhead by name, has been here since 1983, and business on a cold Wednesday night seems to be steady, I imagine it will be here for my next visit, whenever that is. My server, Jeff, says that the place was here long before it became the Deerhead, by the way. Oh, yeah; the live music: I didn't stay for long after acoustic musician John Hurst started performing (my work beckons , but he plays a nice acoustic guitar and has a pleasant singing voice in kind of a coffeehouse style . I'd come to see him again. And I'd come eat here again.

I believe that was absolutely the most amazing plate of red beans and rice I have ever eaten!!!!!
