Good food and great service. Cool industrial vibe lends itself to a hip crowd, but also young families and adults looking for a casual hang out. This place was only open for 5 days when we went so we weren’t expecting a finished product. We were surprised by the experience and would suggest that you give it a try!

Came home for a quick trip home. I had the most kind waitress Shelly! So welcoming and was wonderful. Definitely an asset the the FWA Airport! She was chatting with all the guest. What a wonderful way to end my trip!

Food was good but not great. Service was very good. Prices were a little high, but it is the only bar in the airport.

I have to say this place always has the best staff. I have yet to come here and the services wasn't friendly and welcoming.The food isn't bad if your looking for a quick bite. I've had the chicken wings and they were a bit dry and I have also had the giant pretzel and that is good and moist.. but don't take too long to eat it or it will get hard. They are always changing their beers and drinks and i feel like most times I have come I've had different beer (good beer I'd say)If you are looking for a place to sit drink and relax prior to your flight this is certainly the place! I always come a a little early to enjoy Chapmans

The first time I ate here it was great. After the second time, I won’t bother eating here. When I walked into the bar at 5:45 in the morning, the waitress was talking to a group of four people. She ignored me for a bit, but no big deal I get it she’s taking care of that table. When she finally gets to me, I ask if I can not have the bread that comes with my breakfast. She says no I have to choose something else. I ask for a different breakfast just please hold the hashbrowns and I can’t have that either. Seems weird to me that I can’t pay full price for some thing and just ask them to hold the bread or potatoes. This is the only restaurant at the Fort Wayne airport, so do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else before you get here

Terrible management. Came in to eat some food and didn't like my meal so i asked if i could switch it with another order. I had maybe half of a bite? Management said no which is somewhat understandable but at the same time if you don't like a car when you test drive it are you gonna buy it? No. Terrible management here as i have worked at other restaurants and EVERY other restaurant I've worked at it's never an issue as long as you don't eat too much of the food. Like I said i had maybe half a bite. Definitely no more and honestly maybe a little less than half of a bite.

Bring in the airport we didn’t expect too much but we were very surprised with the excellent customer service. Staff was friendly and attentive to our needs. With the current state of service in the industry we really don’t expect good service anymore! We were very happy here! The club sandwich and fries were delicious and my wife had the hot lemon pepper wings and really enjoyed them.A great spot to enjoy a drink or two with some food while you wait on your flight!

Very subpar experience. The staff was fine, neither really friendly nor unfriendly, but the food was ok at best. The burger tasted near identical to a bubba burger, and was pretty poor quality even by airport food standards, and pricy. Drinks were par the course. Its nice having an option at FWA, but i personally wouldn't go back. If i didn't have a charge on my card i would have forgotten i had ever even stopped by.

Foods was alright, however, the Craft Beer was definitely worth coming for. Cant wait to go back, this time with a Growler

Really nice wait staff which keeps the coffee coming hot and fresh. The cheese curds with the side of Sriracha mayo were perfect for a preflight snack, and the chicken wrap was decent.They also mentioned they had flexible opening and closing times depending on the flights that are departing the airport. So if you've got a flight out of FWA they'll most likely still be open!
Came here a little less than a month ago. This Chapman's is located inside Fort Wayne International Airport and is open... bright and early at 5 a.m. Why do I know this? Because i was here when it opened one morning. I had a very early flight and a long day ahead of me. To give you context, i live over an hour away... so i woke up around 3:30... i had two flights ahead of me... to get to a work conference in Orlando. I needed to do my normal unpacking, then proctor an exam for the professional association I am part of, then go and network with my peers. I didn't finish that day until Midnight. So yes, i knew I had a long day ahead of me and I needed to have a great breakfast to survive... especially because I wouldn't have any time for lunch. Came in and i was immediately greeted by a waitress. I ordered some coffee and the traditional breakfast. Coffee was decent, the breakfast was tasty, hearty and filling especially considering this is an airport bar at 5 a.m. It definitely gave me the energy I needed for the rest of the day. If you are in need of some food and are at the airport, come by and try it out.

It was okay! Bar food. Drinks were good. Service was good. I’ll be back- not my top 3, but I’ll be back.

Curious about the beer they brewed, I called the number listed on their website twice, only to get a message both times that the number had been disconnected. I stopped in the next day and asked if they sold their beer in cans. I was told they usually did, but they were all out. I was directed to a grocery store I had just been at, where I looked carefully and was unable to find any of their beer. I shared that with the bartender and she suggested I could try a liquor store. What do you call a microbrewery with an out of service phone number that doesn't have beer to sell and doesn't know where you can find it?

Great place to hang out with friends.
