50 Best American Restaurants in Fort Wayne

“We have tried to go to this restaurant for weeks! Finally was able to get reservations last night! Our waitress was wonderful, shared our story with the owner and she is from Rochester so she came out and chatted with us! Farm to table with first class customer service!“

“Great food and service!“

“I have celiac disease, and dining out can often be stressful and even dangerous. I’ve had reactions at other restaurants that led to hospital visits — so finding a place that truly understands gluten-free safety is rare. Don Hall’s in Fort Wayne has consistently taken my gluten-free needs seriously, and tonight was exceptional. My server, Ashley B, went above and beyond. She double-checked everything, communicated clearly with the kitchen, and treated my health with genuine care. What might seem like a small gesture to some means everything to people like me. I was able to enjoy a night out without fear! Thank you to Ashley and the entire staff for your attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism. I’m so grateful to have a place I can trust!“

“The food is always fabulous and our server Victoria does a great job every time we visit. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful staff, wonderful drinks. The very first time I went there on Saturday right after we ordered our first drink the electricity went out and half of downtown Ft. Wayne. The staff brought out a bunch of candles in the atmosphere, was so beautiful and unique“

“A friendly bar & restaurant in the middle of nowhere, but also a few minutes from downtown Ft. Wayne.😋“

“We love this place so much we had our baby shower here! The price to rent the cafe and have catering was way more than fair. They were so kind and truly made us feel special 💖“

“I’ve always loved Henry’s since I discovered it in the mid 90s. While they’ve changed over the years their service and quality have only increased. My only one sad regret is that since the pandemic they haven’t brought back the fresh seafood bar on Fridays and Saturdays! This was always an exceptional treat.“

“Great beverages, food, and service! Everthing was perfect! Thank you!“

“Amazing , caring and efficient staff . My granddaughter spent a day and a half there and it was extremely stress free for her mom and I. Not saying that a hospital is a choice place to visit , just better than other hospitals I’ve visited or been a patient at .“

“So the day before my wedding my maid of honor and some friends from out of town and myself stopped in for a quick bite at the Lima location on our way out of the Fort. my maid of honor says lets have a contest who can eat one the fastest (then adds i know Brandi wont win she eats like a bird) as we pulled in. The employees had no clue what they were in for when we walked in lol Let me tell ya when i say all of the employees jumped on board and where in it! They held our phones, they had phones, we all laughed sooooo hard!!! it was an on the spot event at that point! I won.... haha they gave me a stuffed coney right off their shelf!! The crew and the coneys are amazing!!! Thank you so so much for an amazing experience. -Hickabeaches“

“Wanted to give a shout out to Caleb at the New Haven, Indiana location for going the extra mile to make sure a food item was allergy safe. It has been my experience that Culver's have always been great about food allergies concerns.“

“We had a wonderful time at Cheddar's tonight. Our server Teana was so nice and attentive as were the other employees we spoke to. The prices were very reasonable and our food was delicious. I wanted to post a review because lately we've been to some restaurants in Fort Wayne where the experience has not been the best. So we will be coming here more often in the future instead of going to places that don't seem to care if you ever come back.“

“we had INCREDIBLE service tonight. Thank you Molly! for making our dinner thoroughly enjoyable.“

“Food fantastic and you don’t have to wear a mask 😷“

“The one and only! Great stop!“

“Even with a full parking lot, they always have seating. Food is always fresh and delicious and their own beers are some of the best in town. Quick service and friendly servers!

Vegetarian options: Always have something for everyone.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly food options and craft root beers are great.“

“Just flat out amazing. Our location in Ohio closed a few years ago. We came here after so long and it is just as amazing as we remember. Going to make it a regular thing now. Missed it too much.“

“We are some what regulars at arena .love to sit on patio ,but the patio needs a good cleaning. A good hosing off every couple day's would be great. and to bad the patrons can't use the ash tray instead of patio floor.“

“Great foods and great staff!“

“Waitress was very good. Great atmosphere and food was great!“

“Friday Night Karaoke always a good time“

“Had the best dinner I've had in a long time in fort wayne. the steak was incredible whatever marinade they use was BOMB, the burger was super juicy and huge, the mozzarella sticks were 10/10 and the chorizo queso dip was also amazing. the quality and amount was so great for the price . i will definitely be back“

“I just had the Shrimp Creole and it was delicious!! It was the “special of the day” and was so good, it should be on the menu. Billy, the sous chef, made it from scratch. All the food I’ve had there is great, so I was not surprised, but I definitely want the Shrimp Creole again.“

“I was there last night 2/14. There was a group 10 women. Our server was Angel . She was an amazing server. She was so capable of explaining anything about the menu...very prompt with taking our drink orders and having them to us in a very timely manner. Angel has a knack for making customers feel very comfortable. She is one if the best servers I have had in a very long time. She was always smiling and has an awesome personality. When I come back I definitely want her as my server again!!! Keep up the amazing job Angel .“

“We ordered out and it was great except we ALWAYS have to ask for tartar sauce when we get catfish dinner. You’d think tartar sauce would come with any “fish”…we use to assume it did; now we ask for it“

“love their lemon pepper wings service was great“

“Great service, on top of having reasonably priced entrees. Absolutely one of the best steaks we had here in Fort Wayne. There’s something In Logan’s that keeps us coming back.“

“my son and I went to get lunch, the burger and hot dog were both great, love the queso with fries“

“Some of the best breakfasts in the area, the dinner specials are awesome!! come in and meet all the cool servers!!!“

“Everything was so good and awesome!“

“A nice local cafe. Nothing fancy but the food is great and the staff are very friendly and know exactly what and when to ask. Been there twice and definitely will go again. Disagree on other reviews about parking. Had no parking issues at all. Got there at 9 am on a Monday and parked right next to the building. Plus plenty of spaces out back.“

“It’s a very attractive spacious space. Looks upscale without the high cost. Since it’s in Fort Wayne IN, casual attire certainly is welcome, but more dressed up would not be out of place. Liked that one of our times there included good live music. Wish they could regularly have live music on weekends. The patio in front is a good feature too as well as its late night hours. It just has a sexy grown-up club feel. Do think they should advertise it more to expand its business.“

“We visit a few vineyards every year while celebrating a birthday. Vinland has been one of our favorites. The winery is beautiful, the wine selection is great, the food is fantastic and very reasonably priced, and the service from Autumn was incredible.

Do come for the brunch, you'll be very pleased.“

“Beautiful space, excellent staff and truly unique cuisine! We loved our lunch, especially the Bob Marley tacos! And very affordable for such a great menu and experience!“

“Good wings. Good rolls. We will be back!“

“Ok Went there for about the 15th time. Just as amazing as ever. Didn't get our usual server but had an adorable Hispanic gal who was having her first week. She was terrific! Ordered the moussaka and soup w Greek salad. Was soooo delicious. Way too much food for just one meal. Partner got the Half a baked chicken. Said it was the best he'd ever had. Moist and flavorful. So much dinner he brought some home for lunch tomorrow. Now dessert!!! Ordered bread pudding w caramel sauce and apple dumpling. Must have been a run on both cause at 6:30, both were all gone. Either the manager or owner (Latino guy) came out to our table to deliver the bad news. Super nice and helpful. We ended up with coconut creme pie and raspberry cheesecake. OMG both so delicious and huge portions. Totally forgot about what we had wanted originally. Brought half the pie home. Too big!! This restaurant never disappoints and just when u think they might, Shazam!! Its all better. Thanks again Liberty Diner Michael and Ed“
