    Complimentary bread if asked
    Tamika J.

    I am normally a big fan of Black Canyon, but this visit was disappointing. I normally love the BC oysters, but this trip the grilled oysters were wetter than normal. I forgot the oysters originally come with bacon. We had to order a second 1/2 dozen with no bacon so I could eat them. My boyfriend ordered gumbo and it was cold. The waitress was not attentive and we had to ask several times for small things like water refills and lemon. I always say a bad waitress can diminish the experience at a restaurant, even if the food is good. I'm hoping this was just an off night.

    One perfect spot for a great dinner with friends or your significant other. The ambience and atmosphere is great. The hostess and servers are always friendly and welcoming. Our server Matty made our visit very delightful. Always making sure we were having a good time. Drinks were served promptly. I had a Ribeye with a wedge salad which were delicious. Then we ordered a lemon blueberry pie which was delicious. As always we had a great time with a couple of friends! Thank you BCR and Matty!

    Clam Chowder

    I debating on making this review for awhile, cause it's going to be harsh, but here we go. The food is not great. Most of the time it's just average. For the prices, I expected this place to be much better. Cherry Old Fashion - Husband loved this and ordered two of them. 5/5 stars. Clam Chowder - $4 Cup and $6 Bowl - It's ok. It didn't have a whole lot of seafood or taste. It's very bland. 2/5 stars. New Orleans Gumbo - $4 Cup and $6 Bowl - I expected to get a punch of flavor, and it was just as bland as the clam chowder. Holy disappointment. 2/5 stars. Ribeye Steak with Rice Pilaf and Black Beans - Market Price but it cost us $45 - The ribeye steak wasn't good at all. It ate dry and the flavor wasn't there. I loved the attempt at rice pilaf and black beans, cause I haven't seen that on a menu before, but it wasn't executed well. The components were just okay, but I felt like I could get this at a cheap diner and the quality would be the same. 2/5 stars. New York Strip with Fries - Market Price but it cost us $50 - I found it interesting that a New York Strip cost $5 more than a ribeye, and I figured out why, cause it tasted better than my ribeye. Granted, I still thought it wasn't that fantastic, but it was better than mine. Fries were good. 3/5 stars. Lobster Mac and Cheese - $18 - This is by far the best thing at the restaurant. This saved the review from being 2 stars and changed it to 3. The mac and cheese was good, the lobster was good, everything about this dish was tasty. This is a must get. 5/5 stars. The service was ok. She was supposed to check with the chef about my mustard allergy for one of the dishes, but didn't remember, and I switched to a steak anyways to be cautious. Ambiance is nice for a date night. It's very mood lighting and romantic. If you're going to try this place out, here are my recommendations. If you want soup, get a small cup. You'll probably be disappointed. Maybe try an appetizer instead. Skip the steaks. Get the lobster mac and cheese.

    Bang Bang Shrimp

    My friends took me here while I was in town. Super good food and service. Our server(s) were amazing. They had switch about half way through our meal. The food was absolutely delicious. Worth the wait when we arrived. We got the bang bang shrimp. I love that the breading stayed crispy. I do wish the sauce was a bit more spicy, but the flavor was good overall. I ordered the lobster Mac & Cheese as my entree. It's a huge portion. And it's very creamy and delicious. It has a good amount of lobster. I'd personally like more breadcrumbs but overall I'd recommend it and order it again when I come to visit. My friend got the prime dip and the meat is so tender and juicy. It melts in your mouth. His wife got the filet and shrimp Cajun pasta, it was good. My only thing is that the shrimp come with the tails on so you have to remove those. They have a good menu of drinks and seasonal options as well. I would definitely recommend.

    From the moment I walked in, I knew this was going to be a great experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made me feel welcome right away. The food was absolutely delicious across the board. The drinks were perfectly balanced and complemented the meal beautifully. The steak was the star of the night--bursting with flavor, cooked exactly medium rare as I requested, and seasoned to perfection. Each bite was tender and juicy, and the vegetables served alongside were cooked just right, bringing out their natural flavors without being overdone. I also have to rave about the cornbread. It was out of this world--soft, buttery, and melted in my mouth. Honestly, it's the best cornbread I've ever had, and it alone is worth coming back for. Every detail of the meal showed care and quality, from the preparation to the presentation. This restaurant exceeded my expectations, and I'll definitely be returning soon

    Phenomenal salad! Brussels and Berries salad with Bison burger patty

    Great atmosphere, great service even though I get creative with the menu and ordering. Highly recommend.

    My first visit to Black Canyon was amazing! I had an 8oz medium-rare filet mignon with a loaded baked potato and salad pure deliciousness. The dessert portions were huge and so good!

    Brussels and Berry Salad
    Annie A.

    This restaurant was very busy on a Saturday around 430. I was a little disappointed in their beer/cider selection. I think the food was good but overpriced for what it was. I wanted the short rib stroganoff but they had already sold out of it. I opted for the Brussel and berry salad as a fallback. The apple cider vinegar dressing was very watery, I wish it was a bit thicker. There were a good amount of berries and nuts on it and the chicken was cooked well. We also got spinach and artichoke dip for the table and that was good. The service was spotty as they were very busy. The waitress did not have many recommendation's or substitutions options.

    I've have been going to black canyon for several years now. The food here is pretty good, I would say average for a more upscale restaurant. They offer a mixed dining experience with a blend of noteworthy and average elements. The upscale ambiance sets the stage for a sophisticated meal. The menu features standout dishes, such as their prime rib sandwich and large salads, which impresses with succulent flavors. However, not all options reach the same culinary heights; some dishes fall into the realm of merely okay - like the French onion soup and burger. I also wish they never would've gotten rid of the scotch eggs. The recent sluggish service the past few visits is a noticeable downside, detracting from the overall dining experience. While the staff is polite, the delayed service may test your patience. Despite this, the restaurant's upscale atmosphere and standout dishes make it worth considering for those seeking a refined culinary experience, albeit with occasional hiccups in service efficiency. Overall, a good pick on the north end of Ft Wayne and a regular place for a good meal.

    First time at BC... We've been by it a bunch since moving to FW and wanted to give it a try. All-in-all, good but not exceptional. While the food was very good, the service was "meh" (at best) which torpedoed the overall experience. We stopped in at 11:30 for lunch on a Friday... They weren't overly busy, but steady. We weren't really greeted by the hostesses (kind of weird), but we were sat immediately at a nice booth. The inside of BC is cool and very "country modern" (hence the name); they also have a really nice outdoor seating area with a fire place. Our server was pleasant, but not really friendly... Kind of had the quintessential "RBF look", didn't introduce herself, looked annoyed/disinterested (maybe she was just having a bad day), and not attentive - I would have expected more from a restaurant on the higher end of the FW food spectrum. Aside from the service, our food was solid though... The burger itself was excellent (although we weren't big fans of the brioche bun they used) and my home supervisor's prime rib sandwich was also very good. The one annoying part about the food was we couldn't substitute the fries for a salad or different vegetable side... We had to add a salad to the order vs. being able to substitute (I don't know why restaurants do that?). Nonetheless , BC was alright... Fairly priced for the food quality, but the service was subpar - We probably won't go back, as we very much prefer Baker Street and their service is always superior.

    Menu

    Friendly staff, busy but not overwhelming. Even with how busy they were the food came out fairly quickly. It's not loud or hectic sounding, the decor was nice. The prime rib sandwich was delicious, the sauce seemed a little flat (under salted) but that could be just my preference.

    Black Dog Pub (Covington Rd, Fort Wayne) - community bar with good food and charm…read more First time visiting the Black Dog Pub. I've avoided trying them because I'd heard they were always busy and had long wait times. On this occasion we had no wait even though they were really busy. I'm really glad we gave the Black Dog Pub a try. Black Dog is located in a strip mall at the Coventry Plaza. Parking can be deceiving - if the front lot is full then park out back. There is a small outdoor eating area which you will encounter as you go inside. The Pub has an inviting but small bar located right at the entrance. The restaurant will only seat about 50 dinners inside. The four person table is very small. Not much room for 4 water glasses, 4 drinks, 1 appetizer dish and four entrees - actually painfully small. On this night the outside temp was 90 degrees. The kitchen wouldn't make pizzas, calzones or grill wings when it is this hot (safety reasons). The team here was very friendly and helpful. They really hustled, kept the refills coming and served us well!! The menu is fairly large - salads, burgers, pizza, sausage rolls/calzones, sandwiches, subs and wraps. Something for everyone. All items seemed reasonably priced...and the ones we tried were delicious! Here is a run down of the food items we ordered: -Onion Rings: Black Dog says these are the "Best in Town". I'd say they were really good and worth a try! They start with a thick piece of onion and hand batter it with a very thick coating. Not too oily. Not much added flavor in the breading. Just an outstanding onion ring! -Side House salad: nice sized salad with a variety of side vegetables and cheese. Everything was fresh and tasty. -Cole Slaw: "Our signature Cole Slaw" better be good! The slaw has medium sized cabbage and carrot pieces bathed in a very light mayo sauce. The dish is slightly sweet with a little added seasoning. It comes off refreshing and cool yo taste. I really liked this signature dish. -Sweet Chili Chicken wrap: my wife had the wrap. The chicken was moist and tender. The char broiling gives it an added flavor coupled with a very mild sweet chili sauce. No strong after taste kick. She really liked the delicious wrap. -8 piece jumbo wings: on the appetizer section of the menu for $11.50. In the 8 order...there were probably more large to medium sized wings than jumbo wings. My teriyaki wings were lightly fried such that the skins only had a small amount of crisp. The inside was thoroughly cooked - no pink. Unfortunately, they might have been a little over cooked as they were solid white and a little tough/dry. The teriyaki sauce was thinner in consistency. They dipped the wing in a healthy amount of sauce. Much of it pooled in the bottom of the basket. It had a decently dark and bold teriyaki flavor with no spicy after kick.

    I have been here once for lunch and once for dinner. A little slow but the food was great both…read moretimes.
