    This year was so disappointing.... No unique fish options; no various ways of preparation; no…read moredelicious dill aioli; and no perfectly seasoned shoestring french fries. Our fish and chip lunch was so incredibly fishy, and the fries had a strange aftertaste. The caper sauce they served with the fish was an attempt at a dill aioli replica, but it really missed the mark. Our server was sweet, but completely unaware she was pouring water onto our kiddo while serving. Service was very slow, and the attire of the kitchen staff coming out to check on tables was questionable. The new management has some work to do to meet the level that was their in years past.

    We were so disappointed we called yesterday to get a reservation for today Sunday on the weekend…read moreand we got the longest sad story. No, we're not open. We've run out of food. But isn't that good? She said that means we're so popular that people are flocking and eating all of our food. All I could think of is somebody needs a new manager so that they can order enough food to handle the weekend people we have been turned down so many times at this restaurant it's becoming old and we understand the food is good. We've understand there's new management, but we'll never know. Will we because we can't get in and eat so I would be thinking twice calling them up trying to figure out if they can feed you or not and no matter how complicated it is and how burdens it is on the customer just let me tell you management is perfectly fine with their lack of diesel philosophy of aren't we good aren't we popular but oh by the way we don't have food.

    Big Eyed Fish on Wells Street - when you have a craving for Fish & Stroh style fish and tarter…read moresauce Yes, I know that I could go to Stroh to get this old time flavor. However, Big Eyed Fish is pretty good fish in its own right, local...and flavored like the taste I remember from the past. We visited the Big Eyed Fish location on Well's street. They have an express shop located on Huegenard Road and another dine in location at Leo Crossing. This location has been in service since 2003. It has a nice diner feel with super friendly service. You can find parking on the street or in the lot behind the store. The inside is rather large and works well for parties up to about 8 diners. There is a small bar and TV's if that is your thing. They also have a big and varied menu including breakfast items. Here is a run down of the food items: -Fried Fish: the white fish fillet is thin and fried with a thin breading. The fish is moist and tender. It will flake apart with a fork or by hand. The breading has a slight amount of seasoning and isn't very oily to taste. It has a taste similar to the Fish & Stroh style if you are familiar with that. The fillets are not very filling. For an extra $3...I went with the all you can eat option. Delicious fish! -Tarter Sauce: I love tarter sauce. In fact I might order fish to go with my tarter sauce - lol. This mayo based sauce is reasonably thick, somewhat sweet and has a hint of pickle flavoring. It's creamy and makes a perfect complement to the fried fish flavor. -Baked Beans: this side really surprised me. The bean is small and contained hamburger pieces. The sauce had a slight BBQ flavor but not enough to classify it as a BBQ baked bean dish. The meat flavor was a nice add to the smooth tomato spiced sauce. Delicious!! -Cole Slaw: I kind of use KFC as the standard for Cole Slaw. This is very similar. The slaw pieces are cut very small with only one kind of slaw. Seemingly no additives - just slaw. The sauce is mayo based, a bit more sweet along with a hint of vinegar. I loved this side too! -Hush Puppies: these balls are pretty small in diameter. The inside is very modista and sweet with that southern style corn bread taste. The outside is thicker, a bit oily to taste and has a mild corn bread taste/texture. These are probably some of the best hush puppies I've had in my southern raised life.

    Went to the Big Eyed Fish on DuPont Ft Wayne In today. Wasted my money. Spent almost $17.00 for…read moreburnt food. Waited at the window for 4 minutes until someone came. Then she opened the window and said I will be with in in a few. Problem is I was the only one in line and no one was inside at the counter. So disappointed. I will NEVER come to your establishment again. Sooooo disappointed.
