This place was so cool! I love hometown/dive bar type places and this one fit the bill! I was…read morereally looking forward to trying their wings since that was what they are apparently known for but apparently they had a huge night on Tuesday and ran out of wings. However we decided to stay and try something else on the menu. The burger was fabulous...had bacon and brisket mixed in with the beef...holy cow delicious! Try the potato kegs too...tater tots with bacon and cheese inside them! The workers were funny and talkative and helpful about deciding what to try since they were out of wings! Hope to give this place another try and comment on the wings!

I went back and said that I would wait for a table to open up. He took my number and I waited in my warm car. He text me when a table was ready. Everyone was so nice including the other customers.

Customers were friendly and respectful. Had some nice conversations. Yes I do recommend this place.

Had the chance to eat at Shigs In Pit while in Fort Wayne, and it was a solid BBQ stop. I ordered…read morethe wings with half Shigs seasoning and half white sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly, juicy, and packed with flavor. The seasoning had a great balance of spices, and the white sauce paired nicely without overpowering the wings. My wife ordered the two-meat plate with smoked turkey, pulled pork, apple pie baked beans, and the green chili mac and cheese. The apple pie baked beans were tasty, and the green chili mac and cheese had just enough kick to complement the BBQ. The smoked turkey was a little dry, and the pulled pork was slightly over-seasoned for our taste, but both were still enjoyable. The wings stole the show, and the sides definitely pulled their weight. A couple of small misses kept it from being a five-star meal, but the outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere made up for a lot. If you're in Fort Wayne and craving BBQ, Shigs In Pit is absolutely worth adding to your list.

We tried a variety of items here. We got the bbq salad and…read moresubbed pork for the chicken and tried the daily special of scooby snacks. Those would have been better with a sauce to dip them in. We also had the pulled pork sandwich, kids ribs, and kids Mac and cheese. Everything was served hot and fresh. You order at the counter and an employee brings your food to the table. It was quick and we received everything as we ordered it. We sat outside on the patio which was great. It was clean, had umbrellas, and is dog friendly. Overall good experience

Laycoff's Tavern (near Granite City/Target, North Clinton St) - iconic place with good pizza…read more Laycoff's is a fun little place to frequent. It doesn't seat a lot of people. So...you might have to wait for a table. Unfortunately there isn't space for a nice waiting area. So you might stand up in the small bar area while you wait. It's okay. Things move fast. Enjoy the people watching opportunity. The team here is very friendly and welcoming in an odd way. They really are glad to serve you. Lots of smiles and friendly smiles. They are efficiently-friendly. They all move and talk fast. They are hustling to serve - not avoid. They will take a moment to get to relate...but not much more than a moment. The service is very good! The Sullivan family is very nice as well. Laycoff's is known for sausage rolls and a community bar environment. My wife loves her sausage roll. Full of tasty cheese surrounded by a light, fluffy and soft dough. The American sausage blended in with the cheese nicely. The menu has a small number of specialty pizzas (only six) along with build-your-own option. The prices are pretty comparable to other bars. On this occasion I got a 16" Everything pizza for $20. A 16 inch pizza was a LOT of delicious pizza. The pizza crust is thin. It is thin enough that almost every bit has a slight crunch. However, it was also soft enough to satisfy the less than crunchy crowd. The crust doesn't have much distinct flavor or seasoning. Just a nice thin crust. The pizza sauce was also hard to distinguish. The pizza is so full of toppings and cheese that you really don't see the sauce. The sauce that was they are blended well with the American sausage base. Now the best part - the fresh toppings! Laycoff's uses the Pizza King approach by using finely chopped toppings. The base of the Everything pizza is a finely ground American sausage. The base of the pizza so completely covered with sausage on the Everything choice. The sausage doesn't have much spice or flair as it is American style instead of Italian. The pepperoni is very thin. The fresh and slightly crunchy onions and peppers are chopped into small pieces. Even the green and black olives seemed to be smaller. The whole pizza was coated in delicious tasting mozzarella cheese. As I mentioned the 16 inch pizza is a large pizza. Laycoff's cuts the pizza into large pieces as well. This pizza could easily feed 3-4 people. Cold Pizza Test - I always want to try the pizza the next morning, cold, and for breakfast. This pizza was outstanding cold and as a left over. The coldness causes the mozzarella cheese taste to really come forward. The saltiness of the olives gets bolder. The bed of sausage and cover of cheese really help keep the pizza moist. The crust stayed a bit soft with a slight crunch. Overall, I really liked the pizza. It wasn't outstanding. However, it was really good at a good value. Dinning at Laycoff's has a sense of memorabilia and nostalgia. Be patient and enjoy the environment.

It seemed like a pretty quiet night at Summit Grill. I sat at the bar and order a glass of wine and…read morean appetizer: this sourdough pretzels. The bartender was kind and polite and quick with the service. There were only about three or four tables with people, let them during the course of my time. A few other folks came and sat at the bar. I heard it a side salad with salmon and it came out to me pretty quickly. The flavor was delicious, the salmon, well cooked, and the apple vinaigrette dressing on the salad was delightful. The biggest challenge, was a table with a few children sitting at it. This is no fault of the restaurant, and really, not even the result of my four-star rating. This is merely a statement: if your children are misbehaving and screaming and banging things on the table while other people are trying to eat their dinner, then perhaps the best option is to remove the children from the restaurant. It's always surprising to me when parents are selfish and subject everyone else in the vicinity around them to the poor behavior of their children. As a parent myself, I would never do that to other people. When you go out to a nice restaurant, you want to relax and enjoy the time not listen to tantrums from a three year old. Even the bartender in the servers were frustrated with this table. Some people even walked out after sitting down when they realize that unbelievable noise is coming from one table. Ok, soapbox time is over. Support the summit grill kitchen.

Summit Grill Kitchen & Cocktails - jumbo onion rings and supreme pizza…read more I love onion rings so I had to try the "jumbo onion rings" on the appetizer menu. It was the least expensive appetizer option at $12...and the "jumbo" sounded attractive. So why not? The rings are "jumbo"-lly bigger than most others offer. The ring is made from a large onion. The onion piece was rather thin. I was expecting a "thicker" piece - perhaps two layers thick given the size of the ring. The onion was sweeter and mild. The batter was very thin, flakey and a touch oily. It has a nice seasoning to go along with the chipotle sauce. Definitely worth a try if you like onion rings. The crust is a hand tossed style and baked to a soft crispy crust. It has a slightly sweet flavor with a mild flour taste. The sauce was not very prominent to the flavor - mild tomato sauce taste. The sauce was hidden by the pile of fresh toppings. There was a nice amount of delicious mozzarella cheese to hold the toppings together and give it a moist pizza flavor. Cold Pizza Test - the pizza was still soft and moist 24 hours later. It seems like the ingredients "marinated" and enhance the Italian flavors. The mozzarella cheese flavors tended to "pop" more. Delicious cold pizza! Overall a pizza. Dinning in is a nice experience. Beautiful facility. Casual and relaxed...though it's pretty loud. Professional and friendly service.
