50 Best American Restaurants near Huntertown

“I've been a regular at The Kitchen Table for quite a few months now. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. The staff is friendly and the food is phenomenal, especially the homemade desserts Mimi makes. It makes me shake my head to think I've lived in the Huntertown area since 1999, passed the restaurant on multiple occasions, and only just recently started eating there. 5 stars!“

“We went for an early dinner on Monday. They were not busy, but it was 4:30. We ordered fried mushrooms to share. They were hot and delicious. I ordered ham and bean soup and the tenderloin dinner with mashed potatoes and corn (the vegetable of the day). My mom ordered the clam strip basket with French fries. Both of us were very happy with our food. It came out hot and tasty. The only thing we didn't like was that the mushrooms and soup came out with the food. It would have been better if they came out first. Second thing was, the corn was not good. It tasted like it had been cooking since breakfast. Next time I will avoid the corn. Service was quick and attentive. It's a bit more pricey than I expected, but it's good enough to go back again.“

“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!“

“Always good and staff is awesome!“

“Best Chicken Alfredo I have ever eaten. Highly recommend.“

“The food was great! We had the appetizer sampler and the chicken club. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. If we are ever in the area again, we will be back!“

“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“

“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.“

“Very friendly staff - good food Need to figure out the flow of your traffic! Everyone comes in the wrong way and it cause confusion and mad people. According to the arrows, the entry is behind the store by the drive through and the exit is the front of the building.“

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

“this place is amazing! super nice people, and the food was delicious. i got “the don” panini and my bread was perfectly toasted. it came with chips as well and for $9.95, it was definitely worth the price. you can 100% tell they use quality ingredients and truly care about their products. we went on a saturday at about noon and it wasn’t too busy at all. i can’t believe i hadn’t tried it sooner!“

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

“Still making good Coney dogs after all these years.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“great staff and food was good“

“Great fish cod. Friendly staff and helpful.“

“We love Tammy’s for breakfast & lunch. The food is amazing every time!! Customer service is awesome. Small hometown feel where everyone knows your name.“

“Stopped in last evening for a quick bite to eat and our waitress took us to our table ...who's name was Caitlyn... (possibly a K not sure). But we had the BEST customer service that I have had in as long time. She was so Sweet and checked on us continually. She also suggested when I wanted a wrap...that I didnt have to have it with Buffalo sauce could get it just plain with ranch. When she bought the food she said, "Would you like an extra side of ranch". I thought that was so kind. Then when she bought boxes to the table for our left overs she bought a lid for my ranch and a sack to Carry our containers in...ALL without me asking. I asked for the manager to come to the table for her to be recognized for her impeccable customer service!! He said, " He appreciated me bringing that to his attention". I made sure she got an excellent tip for her Kind , caring and quality customer service. BUT I ALSO THINK SHE DESERVES A 5 STAR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating here as well. Most of the time these days you dont get that kind of customer service...so when you do it needs to be reconized!! Thank you again Caitlyn on a job well done!!“

“Always a great time!! One of the best stages for live music in The Fort.“

“We have been regulars at the Village Tap for YEARS since we lived in the ‘05. The food is awesome, prices are great, drinks are REAL and the staff are the best part. We try to sit at Emily’s table because she is like sunshine itself.“

“friendly staff that love our customers! Great food, big portions, great customers service and family owned. I absolutely love working here and serving our customers 🥰“

“Excellent service. Except I feel they are taking advantage of the hispanic lady. I thought she was the manager because she is sitting people, cashing, and bringin plates. I say make her the manager“

“Good food people are so very nice I love it so very much thank sevice“

“We arranged this dinner as part of a wonderful short vacation to ride a steam train from Indiana to Michigan and back the next day. Our family came from Lafayette and Carmel by car to the restaurant. The staff was patient as we changed our arrival time several times over. The meal was superb and we had a great time together.“

“We stopped by and had a great meal, the waitress was very friendly and helpful.“

“I've been to LongHorn steakhouse several times over the last few years. I can never say anything bad about this place. The food is amazing top tier food quality. The service is pretty good. And atmosphere makes me feel like I'm not even located in the area that I'm in. All around one of the best steakhouses I've ever been to for a median income family. If you ever get a chance to go to one I would definitely recommend it!“

“Staff was great! Atmosphere was great! We had a great time. Looking forward to visiting again!“

“Love Van’s fresh food and everyone’s friendly service!! Makes my whole day to see their smiling faces! 🥰“

“great food...great atmosphere....great owner!!!“

“Great place for breakfast and lunch. Please go and enjoy.“

“First time here. Prompt, pleasant and reasonably priced. Food was good as well. Only reason for 4 stars. I did ask for packs of ketchup, and received non. No biggy. But I must be the only one nowadays who's dips their fries in ketchup.“

“So glad bj's came to ft wayne...wish they would bring back portabello fried mushroom strips...delicious“

“Great place...great food. A group of us from high school met here for lunch and have decided to make it a regular deal. Back in the 70's I worked around the corner and ate here often. After closing for a while it has come back better than ever.

The folks here treated us like royalty. The prices were reasonable, the food delicious and the beer really really cold. I came up from Indy and I'm coming back....often!“

“Consistency.
You can consistently get good service, the food is consistently good, and the prices are consistently affordable.

I am picky with my food, as making it a habit to fly to Texas for day trips solely for smoked meats.
If it's in your blood, it's in your blood.

Lucille's taste as close to Texas as possible, sans the Dallas Blonde.“

“Alexis waitress is the bestest. They had signs posted to be patient with their need for additional staff. It was a Wednesday night 11/5/25 and they were busy and I took my wife and my mom in for dinner. Our hostess was very pleasant and our server Alexis was outstanding. She was friendly, attentive and just downright very skilled at her job. The beer selection was nice as usual and the food was outstanding. Mom had a burger and loved it. My wife had fish and chips and loved it (and the amount of food included w/ fish and chips was impressive). I had the Moose and it was very tasty. The Annie’s salad is terrific (red beans and rice on salad doesn’t seem like it should go together, but you have to try it). The side dishes are terrific including Moose snacks, red beans and rice and OH the warm German potato salad. Great dining experience overall as usual AND Alexis made it a top notch evening. Great job!“

“Decent local place for a few beers. Comfortable atmosphere and friendly bartenders. ***still the exact same as it was a year ago, as it was many years ago; A local bar for locals and anybody else for that matter that is looking for a down-to-earth place to relax and have a few drinks away from the busy areas of town.“
