Went to Rockin Chicken on 1st Ave for our 20th Anniversary this afternoon and the food was amazing. It was full of flavor, the staff was very friendly, and they have a clean, inviting atmosphere. I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and my husband got the Philly with chicken instead of steak, then we shared the Loaded Sirloin Steak Fries. We loved it all and finished everything. Everything was also very hot(temp wise) which I loved because I cannot stand food that’s supposed to be hot and isn’t! I clicked the 15% tip button since it’s the kind of place you pay at the counter and get your own drinks and the total was $57 and some change. Worth every penny….will for sure be back and would be a great place to pick up from the drive thru on a busy night, too!

Stopped by for the first time and was treated to a couple of meals that made me smile – and were cooked fresh to order.
The Juicy Lucy didn’t disappoint – and the fries paired with it were perfection. Great lunch.
And then there was dinner. I went with a platter per recommendation – Two Giant Chunks of Chicken, Ribs, Steak Strips, Green Beans (good enough to drink the juice – excellent), Black Beans & Rice. Two full meals worth – I’m talking dinner and another dinner’s worth of leftovers.
This place deserves more stars than I can give it.

Absolutely unreal food. I came in and ordered the chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was hands-down some of the best food I’ve had in a long time. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. Mashed potatoes were smooth and rich, green beans were seasoned just right. Nothing felt rushed or lazy, you could tell care went into the plate.
That says a lot, but what says even more is that I came back a few hours later because I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Second round was ribs, fries, and fried plantains. Same story: cooked perfectly, amazing seasoning, and just flat-out delicious. The ribs were tender, fries crispy, and the plantains were incredible.
On top of the food, the owner was there and was genuinely nice and welcoming, which makes a big difference. You don’t find spots like this often, food this good, consistency across dishes, and great people running it.
This place is special. I’ll be back, and I’ll be bringing people with me.

Can’t believe I’ve passed this place up so many times, absolutely some of the best pulled pork ive had and the Cubans are amazing. Plenty of choices and hard to pick one. Try the grilled bananas

Pretty sweet spot! The food and in particularly the chicken, are so on point! Blew my mind that they also had plantains as well. This is what’s my first time and it won’t be my last. Can’t wait to try what else they have. Also Tiffany who works there was very hospitable and knowledgeable! Definitely coming back

I have to say I was not expecting anything this good in Evansville Indiana. I have had fine dining all over the East Coast and this was on par with anything I have eaten there. With that said, on to the specifics.
My wife and I started with a slice of the lemon meringue pie (who doesn’t start with dessert). This was a clearly a local made pie, which is refreshing considering how many restaurants are using commercially made pies that taste more like a chemistry project than food. The pie had a nice balanced and rich flavor that was neither sickly sweet nor face puckering sour.
For the meal we tried the 1/2 chicken meal with plantains and black beans with rice, as well as the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad. As this was our first visit we also ordered an extra item to ensure we got a good sense of what their food was like, this was the pulled pork parfait.
The chicken meal was everything you would hope for in a signature dish, I asked and was told it is a peruvian-style rotisserie chicken and it far exceeded both my wife and my expectations…. Richly seasoned with crispy edges and crisp skin this chicken could hold its own on the menu in any fancy restaurant.
The side of plantains was beautifully caramelized with a nice chewy texture that I look forward to with plantain dishes.
The black beans and rice were good exactly what I would expect from that sort of side, the fresh made chimichurri sauce that I got with the chicken was even better with the rice and beans. In fact the chimichurri sauce needs its own comment as it is really quite exceptional as well.
My wife’s pulled pork sandwich was both Smokey and still moist which is difficult to do with pulled pork as you usually have one or the other.
Lastly, the pulled pork parfait was fun but probably not my preferred dish…. Each of the flavors was really good individually and definitely worked well together, however I tend to personally prefer dishes with at least some crispy or crunchy textured component. I am sure my daughter would love it with it’s Mac and cheese center though.
All together this was fantastic and we are definitely coming back and definitely bringing friends.

Every. Single. Thing I’ve ever ordered here is amazing! Made with love! Nothing like it in Evansville! And the owner and the staff are always super friendly and welcoming! They truly make it an experience! Rockin Chicken is on our weekly rotation (if not more) for sure!

Let me first say…I worry Evansville may not be as aware and appreciative of what an absolute GEM they have in Rockin’ Chicken as they should be. Seriously folks – these bold Latin/South American flavors are NOT common or executed this well around the greater region. Literally everything we ordered was phenomenal and packed with flavor. I had the cheesesteak and fries…you ask, how could this possibly be worth raving about?? The quality and tenderness of the steak, and the perfect blend of spices and seasonings…literally mouthwatering. Perfectly sauteed and seasoned peppers and onions, gooey cheese, incredibly soft bread. Masterpiece, best Philly (albeit fusion) in Evansville.
Girlfriend had the chicken breast platter w/ mac n cheese and mashed potatoes + cilantro ranch & chimichuri. Have mercy. I stole more than a few bites. Life-changing chicken. People of Evansville…you need to get out and try this place if you haven’t. You won’t be sorry.

You can tell when a restaurant is run by people who actually care and this is one of them. The food was fantastic and the service was top tier! I’m surprised I didn’t know about this place sooner. All the staff were amazing and very welcoming!!
