The Carousel Restaurant story began in the summer of 1991 when a young Dilip Patel purchased the Monroe Avenue location of Merry-Go-Round Restaurant. With that purchase, the name was changed to The Carousel Restaurant. Long-time manager Kenny Ward is the new owner and appreciates the opportunity his friend and mentor provided. The restaurant’s 29-year history is best understood by the faithful loyalty of satisfied diners hungry for good food … served fresh with time-friendly and gracious hospitality for a fair price.
“It has been the joy of my life to host and serve our customers. We sincerely appreciate your patronage and loyalty and look forward to many years to come.â€

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) – The Carousel Restaurant is moving into a new era after nearly three decades under the same ownership.
The restaurant on Monroe Avenue has a new owner, and it looks like its staying within the family.
New owner Kenneth Ward says he has been working for the restaurant since he was 14-years-old, and he was surprised when the current owner asked him to take over the reins.
Ward says what he enjoys the most is the customers and his employees, and that he is looking forward to keeping the restaurant’s tradition alive.
