“Very friendly wait staff. I don’t think we’ve ever had a complaint about any of the ladies. The cook, she’s amazing! Great calm environment in a small town.“

“The food isn't cheap bar fare, but then again the quality for what you're paying can't be beat in Fort Wayne. Service is excellent, and the staff are friendly. It's upscale but welcoming and relaxing. It is worth at least a single visit if not multiple! I'll be back!“

“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!“

“Great food and service every time we have been there.“

“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“

“I went in and tried the specialty of the day, which was the crab Rangoon grilled cheese, and it was absolutely amazing and the service was friendly and kind, and the prices were very affordable!“

“Always good and staff is awesome!“

“Went for our Anniversary yesterday with our kids and everything was superb! The food was flavorful, the cocktails perfect and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be back.“

“This was my third time ever going to Cheddar's and each time I've been, it has been at this location in Fort Wayne, IN (I wish we had one in Marion, IN). The food, the service and the fair pricing keeps me coming back whenever I'm in the area! Cheddar's has a little bit of everything and each time I've went, I've had incredibly fast and friendly service. This time I got the Monte Cristo and fries and it was delicious!“

“Stopped for lunch today. My Boyfriend and I shared the green goddess salad, crab hush puppies, and the chicken sandwich. Aside from the decor being lovely and the bar/restaurant being super clean, the food and service was spectacular! Lily, our server, was extraordinarily polite and helpful with our questions. She was kind enough to ask the kitchen to split our order ahead of time which was much appreciated. The green goddess salad and chicken sandwich were amongst the best we have ever had. Looking forward to checking out their brunch while we are in town.“

“Great food and the staff is always very friendly.“

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

“I may be a dog guy, but I love the Smiling Cat. The owner's signature chicken salad will ruin all other chicken salads! It is made with real cooked chicken and is divine. If you're a funky cat you'll love the staff and atmosphere. Feed your curiosity!“

“We happened to be in New Haven last night & decided to stop in for dinner. Sure glad we did! Best fresh food we've had in a long time in one of the cleanest places too! I believe Hall's new generation is making their Grandpa proud. We won't wait to be in New Haven to come back🥰 Rick & Deb Schimmoller“

“I had the gabage platter and it was amazing the tomatoes really made it pop. My wife had the biscuits and gravy and said they are better than any where we have been in a long time and she will definitely be coming back for more!! So everyone give this place look when want a good breakfast“

“Clean, modern facility and you can tell right away this place wasn’t thrown together—it was thought through.

Pinhouse Social does a solid job blending a few different concepts into one space without it feeling cluttered or chaotic. The layout flows well. You’ve got pinball machines, duckpin bowling, darts, and plenty of seating, but it still feels open and comfortable. That’s not easy to pull off.

The pinball lineup is legit—not just random machines, but well-maintained and actually fun to play. Same goes for the bowling lanes. Everything feels tight, clean, and operational, which sounds simple, but a lot of places miss that.

Staff was friendly and easy to deal with. No attitude, no confusion—just straightforward service, which I appreciate. You can tell there’s some level of management attention here instead of just letting things run on autopilot.

Atmosphere hits a nice middle ground. It works whether you’re there with family, friends, or even just killing time. Not too loud, not too dead. Lighting and finishes give it a modern feel without trying too hard.

Overall, it feels like a place that was built to last—not a quick trend play. Real effort went into making it a quality facility, and it shows. Definitely worth checking out if you’re anywhere nearby.“

“I eat here about 3 times a week, the corn muffins are to die for! Great soup choices! Definitely one of the best places at EW that I have found“

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

“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 .“

“The famous Coney Island in Fort Wayne, Indiana is hands down the BEST hot dog place I have ever visited. This place isn’t just a restaurant to me — it’s a tradition, a memory, and a piece of my life that goes back more than 40 years. I have been coming here since I was a child. Some of my earliest food memories are sitting inside this historic little hot dog stand enjoying their famous coney dogs. There is just something special about this place that has never changed. The atmosphere, the smell of the grill, and the excitement of getting those delicious coneys brings back so many memories every single time I walk through the door. And let’s talk about the food — the coney dogs are absolutely incredible. They are simple, classic, and packed with flavor. The chili, the mustard, the onions, and the perfectly cooked hot dog all come together to make the BEST coneys you will ever eat. After all these years, the taste is still exactly how I remember it. Some places change over time, but this one has kept its magic. What makes it even more special now is that I get to bring my own family here. I now bring my husband and my children, and watching them enjoy the same food I grew up loving is such a great feeling. It’s like passing down a family tradition. Every time we visit, it feels like a little trip back in time while also making new memories together. The place itself is full of history and charm. It’s not fancy, and that’s exactly why people love it. It’s a true Fort Wayne landmark and one of those iconic spots that locals and visitors should experience at least once. The staff keeps the line moving, the food comes out fast, and you can tell they’ve perfected their system after all these years. After more than four decades of coming here, I can honestly say this is still my absolute favorite hot dog spot anywhere. The BEST coney dogs, amazing history, and a place filled with memories make this a must-visit destination in Fort Wayne. If you’ve never been to the famous Coney Island in Fort Wayne, you are truly missing out. These are without a doubt the BEST CONEYS you will ever eat.“

“April 18,2026 The food was very good. Came as ordered. Didn’t order fries because we thought we would not be able to eat them hot for long. It was very cold in the restaurant, when you look around and everyone is eating with their coats on … not good. Person sitting behind us left to get his hoodie out if his car. Server said they only have on and off on the heating/air system!! They were planning on calling corporate about it. When we left, diners were stepping into lobby saying how cold it was in there.“

“Friday Night Karaoke always a good time“

“Great foods and great staff!“

“Just had dinner at Bubba’s 33 in Fort Wayne tonight. Compelled to immediately write a review. Absolutely loved everything about it. The food was amazing! I had the salmon with rice. So delicious! My sister had the Monte Cristo and loved it. I tasted that too even though I’m trying to eat healthy and it was the best Monte Cristo I have ever had. Got wings to start and they were delicious! If you like heat, I recommend the hottest one as the one I got, 3rd hottest I think wasn’t very hot. Got some of the habenero sauce on side and it was perfect. Not overly hot. At least for those that like some heat. Most importantly was the service. Sage served us and was perfect. Even those that brought our drinks, food and at the hostess stand were ALL so friendly. Not to mention on our way out some other server told us to have a great night. Customer service is key and hard to find these days. Round of applause to this corporation for their training!!! Did I mention all the screens to watch sports?!! Definitely my new go to place in Fort Wayne! Check in on their app to avoid a long wait. But if there is a wait, it’s worth it!“

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

“I stopped by burger bar during a visit for school and it did not disappoint. Their homemade veggie burger is really good and the cheese fries were tasty. I’d recommend them for anyone looking for a good burger. It also didn’t break the bank which was an added bonus. I’ll be back for surer“

“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.“

“All in all a nice place to go and grab a bite. It is a small building, so when a woman sat next to me wearing to much perfume it ruined my appetite. But before that, our waiter was very kind and kept my coffee topped. The food was good, I had the country fried steak. It was nicely breaded, seasoned well and the gravy complimented it wonderfully.“

“love their lemon pepper wings service was great“

“Everything was so good and awesome!“

“Great fish cod. Friendly staff and helpful.“

“The service is always excellent. We dine here often. The rewards program is simple and easy to use. We have intimate dining or even group gatherings too. Our favorite server is Lyndsy Y. She is a delight to see and we think of her as an extension of our family. Her joy, smile and laughter are infectious and endearing. 😁“

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

“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!“

“Vinland has a beautiful set up. Have gone multiple times with my wife to enjoy wine and outside area. This weekend my wife and I finally tried the food. Overall it was great. Only negative is they brought out the appetizer fast (which is great) however before we hardly ate any of it our meals came out so it felt a little rushed.
Wine was great and dessert was delicious!“

“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.“

“I just had the tenderloin and it was delicious. Exactly what an Indiana tenderloin should be. I will definitely be back. Probably the best tenderloin I have ever had.“

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