ABOUT THE FOUNDRY ROOM

Evansville’s Iron Legacy Lives On

In the mid-to-late 1800s, Evansville's foundries transformed raw iron into something essential. Today, The Foundry Room carries that tradition forward—transforming quality ingredients into classic American dishes, reimagined with the same dedication to craft that built this city. Our kitchen is our forge. Our tables are where connections are cast.

What’s Cookin’

River traditions meet foundry-fire flavor. Expect our signature fried chicken, blackened catfish over wild rice, and ribeyes that don't need introduction. We're talking smoked wings with peach bourbon glaze, short ribs with port-cherry reduction, and cornbread that tastes like home. And our cocktail menu? Just as thoughtfully crafted as everything that comes out of our kitchen.
