31 restaurants that earned it. We paid for every meal, named the bad ones too, and this is what's left standing.
This place does not miss. Not once. Not ever. I have eaten here more times than I can count and I have never walked away disappointed. The Taco Traditional is exactly what it should be. The MO's Taco…

Read the full rant →My favorite pizza in Fort Wayne and it has been for as long as I can remember. Clara's knows what it is, has always known what it is, and has never felt the need to reinvent itself. The crust is…
Read the full rant →We went specifically for the Old Fashioned and it delivered. The atmosphere and vibe at Hideout 125 are second to none in Fort Wayne. Shout out to Noah, the manager, who took care of our table like…

Read the full rant →We eat here once a week and we always leave fat and happy. The Old Gas House is one of those Fort Wayne institutions that locals know about and outsiders discover with a look of surprise on their…
Read the full rant →Top three breakfast spots in Fort Wayne and I will not hear arguments. Breakfast Clubb has earned its reputation and continues to earn it every time I walk through the door. The portions are honest.…
Read the full rant →Always a great experience at Henry's. The food is fantastic and the service is great. The menu is not over-expanded — everything on it is actually good, which is more discipline than most Fort Wayne…
Read the full rant →Always a good spot when you are downtown. The staff, food, and drinks here are in the top 10% of the city — that is not a low bar, that is a real statement about what Club Soda has built over the…
Read the full rant →There is a stellar crew working at the Jefferson location. Hospitality is phenomenal and that is not something you expect to say about an IHOP. The food is what it is — it is IHOP — but when the…
Read the full rant →Good variety of drinks with beer leading the charge, but there are some surprise deals on the food side that most people overlook. The waitress we had was quick and had the whole table taken care of…
Read the full rant →We hit this place every few months, and that is about the right pace, because the size and the cost keep it from being a regular. There are some signature drinks and a limited menu, but the price is…
Read the full rant →Round two and this place delivers. The food and drinks are excellent — my only knock is the plates came out hot but the food only warm. The flavors are sharp and unmistakable, nothing muddy or timid.…
Read the full rant →This was a takeout review, so grade accordingly. The food was good — the spaghetti came a touch undercooked, slightly chewy, not quite al dente, and the meatballs were big but needed more heat,…
Read the full rant →Always good food and we eat here a lot. The Cajun broiled cod dinner is my go-to. My one gripe is portion size — it could be bigger for the price. But it is a solid, dependable place to get good…

Read the full rant →I come for the wings, every time. The Tower grilled boneless are my order, with a basket of fries, and they come out fast and hot. Service is quick and courteous, the food keeps pace, and the drink…
Read the full rant →Always good food when the kitchen is open, and that is the one catch — check the hours. The night I was in, the place was packed and karaoke was going full tilt. Young crowd, but it was that time of…
Read the full rant →I did not eat this time — met friends here for drinks — so grade the food on their word, not mine. The staff is genuinely friendly and always smiling, which goes a long way, and the prices are good.…
Read the full rant →A great place for live entertainment, food, and drinks. It is always packed, but the crew knows how to accommodate and gets you seated without the wait becoming a problem. That is a skill, keeping a…
Read the full rant →Packed as usual, and worth the wait as usual — that is the whole Chick-fil-A equation. The Southwest salad is my go-to, and I cheat with a chicken sandwich every now and then, because of course I do.…
Read the full rant →Same standard as the Coliseum location. Chick-fil-A is consistent across the board — that is the entire point of the place — and Apple Glen holds the line. Fast, reliable, exactly what you expect…
