You know what it’s like to have dinner at a place and say wow that was the best food I’ve had then go back a second time and say ehhhh not as good as I thought?? This is NOT that place!! We’ve been three times now and every time is as good if not better than the last. We finally figured we could split a dinner (huge portions) and enjoy extra appetizers. Let’s start at appetizers. Fried zucchini, which I had never had before was awesome!! Lightly breaded, fresh and tasty. I’m a crab cake snob. This is Kentucky. There is NO WAY this Maryland girl trusts a crab cake in ANY OTHER state. Well after our first visit and the food being incredible, we decided let’s take a chance. Thankful we did. They were beyond delicious and just as tasty as the beach restaurants on the Eastern shore. Truth be told, these were probably better!! The salmon and chicken were cooked to perfection. And portions were so large, we easily shared and ordered an Extra side. Service is always great. Alcoholic beverages aren’t skimpy and their Bahama Mama is super fruity and refreshing. Living in TN I cannot wait for trips to Owensboro to have dinner here. I actually get excited at the idea of dinner at this amazing place!! My mouth is watering thinking about it. Awesome food, exceptional service and beyond reasonable prices for what you get. Looking forward to my next stop in. Oh and if you’re planning an evening out and decide on City Walk, call ahead and make a reservation. You won’t regret it!! Be sure to allow time to walk along the riverfront. You’ll be stuffed from the portions of these meals!! Thanks to the amazing chef at City Walk. So glad to have found this place!! I’d give it a 10 star review if I could!! Note: I put $30 to $50 because it’s easy to rack up the alcohol charges and several appetizers because they are all so yummy. You CAN eat here on a budget. It is VERY affordable. We over order because it’s that good.

I’m from California visiting Owensboro. My wife and I were invited to have dinner at City Walk. It is my pleasure to share my thoughts, not to persuade you one way or the other, but to give my opinion. The wait staff was attentive and very familiar with the menu. The atmosphere is rugged with pictures of buildings in Owensboro. I waited in great anticipation for the meal in which I was about to eat. The menu listed the names of three professional chefs, so my expectations were high. The menu was limited with some delicious sounding dishes. After picking the entree you then select the side(s). When the waitress came to take our order, she stated what the special of the day was. It consisted of three kabobs that included beef, shrimp, bell pepper, tomato, and onion, on a bed of rice pilaf. It also came with one side. This sounded delicious so I ordered it with a side of green beans with bacon and onion. When the meal came, I was disappointed. The kabobs were overcooked, dry, and cold. The shrimp was chewy and difficult to eat. There was practically nothing left of the tomato, and the side of beans came from a can. I was totally disappointed and couldn’t finish the entree or the green beans. My wife ordered the pork chop that was supposed to come with a cinnamon sauce, which she didn’t get. On a positive note, my daughter-in-law ordered the fillet steak. She shared a bite with me. It was absolutely tremendous! It tasted great and was extremely tender. Overall I was totally unimpressed with the overcooked kabobs and especially the canned beans from professional chefs. If you give it a try, I hope your food experience will be better than mine.

Went to this place on a date and I was finally able to try Beef Wellington!!! Ive been wanting to try it for years and this was my first experience this was my second time coming to this restaurant. Their crab cakes app is too freaking die for. The beef wellington was taste in parts but eating it all together for me the flavors didn't meld well. But I really loved having the opportunity to finally try the dish. It did look beautiful btw. If your in Owensboro KY you need to try this place out

Didn't live up to the hype. While visiting Owensboro, we selected this place based on the menu and the reviews. Ordered the surf and turf pasta special; the beef was colorless and overcooked. Ordered the Aloha chicken with grilled veggies, but the veggies looked suspiciously frozen. Adult beverages were ok. The crab cakes were a good appetizer. Bottom line: would most likely not eat here again.

City Walk is a great place to go for date night, cocktails, and even for a quick lunch. The service is great and the atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming. They easily have the best fried fish in the downtown area, and I recommend it with their tartar sauce. Speaking of the best, their Buffalo chicken sandwich is unmatched in the area. I’ve had dreams about it ever since I first had it. They also mix up a great old fashioned and a refreshing Kentucky mule!

Visited this place while on a business trip in the area. Had the pecan bourbon chicken. It was a delicious meal. Served nice and hot. The chicken was tender and flavorful.Had mashed potatoes for a side, they were creamy and made just perfect! The portion size was just enough. The service was top notch. The server was very friendly and attentive. Checked on me often and asked if I needed anything like a refill on my drink etc. Overall it was a great experience. Would definitely return to this restaurant if in the area again.

Great Little Downtown Spot for Steaks, Seafood and Bourbon !! The CityWalk is a nice little downtown spot near the river to have a good meal. I was walking around the area and got hungry and since I was close to CityWalk, I decided to give it a try. CityWalk markets itself as 'Steak Seafood and Bourbon' so why not !! The inside was cozy and woody with a rustic decor which made the place very comfortable and enjoyable. I started with a Kentucky Craft beer and made the decision to try their Sirloin and Shrimp which was made from certified Hereford Corn-fed Cattle and a skewer of grilled shrimp with a sweet potatoes mash and green beans. The start salad was made from fresh-cut veggies with a side of honey-mustard dressing. The Steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare and the shrimp were a good medium size, plump and juicy. Overall a simple but great meal in a wonderful space at a reasonable cost. I recommend adding CityWalk to your dining adventures whenever you are in the Owensboro area.
