"I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Ceruti's Catering! From start to finish,…read morethey made everything so easy, but the real star was the food--it was absolutely incredible. We had the beef brisket and almond chicken, and our guests are still raving about how tender and perfectly cooked everything was. Even with a large crowd, the hot food stayed hot and the salads were crisp and fresh. We also opted for the queso, which was a massive hit, and the chocolate fountain for dessert was the perfect 'wow' factor. The staff was professional especially Dominic hatton, efficient, and so attentive to our needs. If you want delicious food that your guests will actually remember, I highly recommend booking them for your next event!"

I really wanted to love this venue, but unfortunately, our wedding day experience was far from what…read morewas promised or expected. First, the air conditioning situation was absolutely unacceptable. It was nearly 100° outside with the heat index, and despite repeatedly asking staff to lower the temperature, nothing ever changed. As the bride, I was drenched in sweat in my wedding dress -- a dress I'd been dreaming about wearing all day -- and I ended up having to change out of it early because I genuinely felt like I was going to pass out. It was heartbreaking and not something any bride should have to go through. To make matters worse, the back door leading to the ceremony space had to be left open all day. If it closed, it would automatically lock, requiring someone to walk all the way around the building to reopen it. This only made the AC issue worse and left the space feeling stuffy and uncomfortable. Which had guest looking at the thermostat that read 76 all night. We also chose the "picnic package" for our catering, which included hamburgers and condiments. While the food tasted good, the condiments provided were only ketchup, mustard, and BBQ sauce. No pickles, onions, lettuce, or anything else you'd typically expect for a picnic-style burger bar. It felt really underwhelming and a bit misleading based on how it was described especially since we had already brought in our own desserts and cocktail snacks. I would've brought toppings if I knew they weren't included if I was told. That said, I do want to shout out the bartender -- she was absolutely lovely -- and the rest of the staff helping out were kind and polite throughout the event. Unfortunately, it just didn't make up for the other major issues. Lastly, the "groom's getting ready room" was not at all what we expected. It was essentially a dark storage closet with no lighting, barely big enough for two people. We weren't shown this space during our tour -- we were told it was "in use" -- but had we seen it, we would've made different plans. We paid a premium for this venue, and while there were some positives, the lack of transparency, climate control, and overall delivery made what should've been the best day of our lives feel unnecessarily stressful and uncomfortable.

10/10 overall ! Great for any kind of event! Very affordable venue for your special event.read more

We couldn't have asked for a better owner. They let us get in Thursday to decorate, they let us use their walk-in coolers for flower storage and they let us decorate the hall however we wanted!!

We had the privilege of working with Emily and Breanna who made planning the event very easy and stress free. I appreciated their guidance and suggestions when selecting our menu choices.

The room and atmosphere was very nice, the food was delicious, and the servers were very attentive. We will definitely use JW Anderson's in the future.

Visiting places where I don't live, I always Yelp for reviews…read more I found this little carryout on the site and was really close, so I stopped by before hopping on the highway. There is no seating. Again, it's a teenie carryout with a drive-up window (not an actual drive-thru). I met the proprietor and his grandson. Both gentlemen were kind and friendly. I explained that I lived in another state and inquired about the menu. I learned that only a limited menu was available, and was offered to try both the turkey tips and the pork rib tips. They were good, but neither were smoked. I like smoked meats on the grill, and these seemed to be marinated in Italian dressing and baked. The meat didn't have a char taste. I decided on the pork with greens and potato salad. Again these items weren't as I am familiar with, as they didn't taste homemade with a depth of flavor. The meal was served with white bread. I would recommend folks giving Mr. Dunbar's cooking a try.

So we tried the spot because my fiancé wanted good barbecue that reminded him of Chicago. The…read morefather and son duo were extremely nice and welcoming and offered us free samples of the food. We really really love the sides, We had dirty rice, mac & cheese, collard greens, yams and beans. Now for the mains we had rib tips in mild sauce, they use a vinegary base which we were not biggest fans of but only because that's not how we are used to having them but it was nice to try something different. And I had the fish and chicken combo, I had perch as my choice of fish. It was my first time trying perch and I don't know if I liked it too much but I feel like it might've been over fried for my liking, it came with hot sauce which helped. It's worth giving a try for some Indiana BBQ, i'd be willing to come back and try some thing else!

Nothing fancy about this place, but if you're looking for a clean facility with a friendly staff,…read moreyou can do worse than Park Edelweiss in Fort Wayne. The grounds aren't especially manicured, but there is a lot of room to roam and a little pond on site. I'd suggest some flowers and landscaping to dress things up a bit and to enhance the Bavarian feel of the place. You'll find ample parking outside their two story barn with seating upstairs in the main room which has very high ceilings and is nicely configured to seat around 150. The ground floor has a decent bar, kitchen, restrooms and seating for around 100, and a small beer garden outside. Here again, some plants would be a welcome addition. Everything is German themed, of course, however the wedding we attended featured a very good Tex-Mex menu, so don't worry if you're not a fan of Wiener schnitzel and sauerkraut. There are other options that pair just fine with their German beers on tap.
