Rooted in Evansville, Made for You

Comfort- a stylish brick restaurant with a festive wreath, surrounded by trees and outdoor seating, in an urban setting.

Rooted in Evansville,
Made for You

At COMFORT by the Cross-Eyed Cricket, we believe great restaurants don’t just serve food—they nourish communities. Since opening our doors on Historic Main Street, we’ve worked to be more than a dining destination. We’re a gathering place, a supporter of local talent, and an active participant in Evansville’s vibrant revival.

A Downtown
Revival Story

Historic black-and-white illustration of the M. Lyon Fine Clothing building, a multi-story corner structure with ornate architectural details, large windows, and prominent signage reading 'M. Lyon Fine Clothing' across the facade, with pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages visible at the intersection.

Our building—like our menu—honors history while embracing the future.

  • Then: Once a forgotten gem in Evansville’s downtown, this space sat quietly for years, its potential untapped.
  • Now: Through careful restoration, we’ve preserved its historic character (exposed brick, original hardwood) while infusing it with modern energy.

This transformation mirrors Evansville’s own downtown renaissance. From new businesses to cultural events, the heart of our city is pulsing again—and we’re proud to be part of it.
