OUR STORY

Established in 1975 by Harold Nix, Western Rib-Eye became renowned for having one of the first and finest salad bars in the tri-state area and for great cuts of beef, quickly making this western-motif restaurant one of Evansville's top steakhouses.

In 1985, with the addition of sons Dan and Dave, Western Rib-Eye added to its menu and underwent an extensive renovation to a more contemporary decor.

Well into the second generation of the family business, Dan and Dave expanded the restaurant’s name to Western Rib-Eye & Ribs and are continuing the tradition of excellence established by their father.

With combined experience in the food business of over 70 years, the Nix family has gained a certain insight into what customers expect. Outstanding food and excellent service, along with our world-famous "Create Your Own" salad bar, our Certified Angus Beef™ steaks, our meaty baby back ribs and the rest of our expanded menu are qualities now expected by customers frequenting this locally-owned Evansville tradition.
