    I had one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a bar here. I was completely respectful, not…read morecausing any issues, and somehow still got kicked out for absolutely no reason. There was no explanation given--just a rude "you need to leave, Kirk doesn't want you here" like I had done something wrong when i did not. What made it even worse was the owner Sierra's attitude. Instead of handling the situation professionally, they were incredibly disrespectful and dismissive. Talking down to customers and refusing to even explain what was going on is not how you run a business. It honestly felt like they just pick and choose who they want in there without any real justification. If you're looking for a place where you're treated fairly and with basic respect, I would strongly recommend going somewhere else.

We totally had a horrible experience; when we ordered drinks, the server never came back. We went over to dance on a Saturday night, and they closed it down early. Then, when we put over $40 in the jukebox, it played our songs that only lasted for a few seconds and were cut off. This was sad because it was my nephew's 21st birthday, and all he had been talking about was going to break and run; the experience we had was horrible. Hopefully, Break and Run will return to the outstanding bar it once was, but for now, it's in terrible shape. Oh, by the way, they need to lighten up on the ice; every drink we got, they filled it up with ice, leaving very little liquor, and still charged full price! Summary: watered-down drinks, poor service, kicked off the dance floor early, and shut off the jukebox after you put a ton of money in it. It

    Stopped in for lunch and our server was great! She knew we were early and waiting and she made sure…read morewe were comfortable while we waited. We had the: Egg rolls which were delicious. They were golden, crispy, and had a ton of flavor. Buffalo chicken wrap which was good. The chicken and sauce had good flavor. Italian grinder which was really meaty and had a nice bun. Something fruity was a refreshing delicious drink that was enjoyed. It was clean and well stocked for lunch. I enjoyed that the host asked us if we wanted a high or low table. It was an enjoyable experience.

I ordered a Philly steak and o was fine but my husband got the taco salad and the shell was not crispy and was soaked in grease. The steak was also tough as well and we both got stomach issues from the food. The worst part was the waitress as she was not at all engaging, never asked if we wanted anything else and looked like she didn't want to even serve us. I am white and my husband is Mexican and it felt as if we were being discriminated against. I am calling it on this place as we won't go back here and the ONLY reason we went here is because Black Dog was closed. Save your money and go ANYWHERE but here.

    Corner Pocket Pub (St. Joe Center Road) - bar eating/drinking on a relaxed outdoor patio…read more Spent a beautiful summer evening relaxing and dinning/hanging with friends of the Corner Pocket Pub patio. They have a very spacious patio. It's clean and well maintained. Chairs and tables are a comfortable wire construction - nothing fancy. And yes...it still feels like a bar as a bouncer will check your ID at the door. You can balance the bar feel with the opportunity to hang out on a warm summer evening...on a patio. Our waitress was very friendly. She hustled as much as she could though she had a lot of tables. The bouncers were all business. The menu is pretty large with pizza, salads, wraps, wings sandwiches and lots of appetizers. Prices are fair. And, to me, the overall food quality is better than your standard bar food. Here is a run down on the things we ordered: -Quesadillas: extraordinarily cheesy. Soft shell. Easy to pull apart. Comes with salsa and sour creme for dipping - nothing special here. -Chef salad: very fresh and piled high with meats and sides. Two breadsticks were also tasty. -Chicken Ranch wrap: fresh tasting. Tender chicken and wrap. Fries were good. -Onion rings: lots of rings in the basket located on the premium side menu. Rings were inconsistent. Some pieces had a very thick onion piece with a softer batter. Others had a thin onion piece and a very crispy outside. In general the rings were fried to a heavier crisp and a bit oily. Not my favorite. -Cole slaw: very smooth, sweet and creamy Mayo based dish. Small slaw pieces. Not soupy. Tastes almost exactly like KFC's cole slaw. Very good taste! -Wings: I ordered grilled teriyaki and spicy buttery ranch wings. About 50% of my wings were tough and chewy. The other 50% were moist, tender and perfect. All white insides and slightly crispy skins. Love the grill marks. I would recommend double dipped as the grilled skin was thinner on flavor. The teriyaki sauce was thin and had a mild teriyaki taste. The spicy buttery ranch sauce had a slight buttery oil taste with a moderately heavier spice taste. No spicy after taste or burn. The ranch flavor seemed to get buried in the spicy flavor. This review focuses on the patio dinning option. Corner Pocket does have a fun and spacious interior, with lots of pool tables, if you want to shoot some billiards with friends.

    Great place to chat and unwind. Multiple pool tables available (play per game or hourly options…read moreavailable). Service was quick even with high traffic. Bartenders and servers were upbeat and attentive even at peak hours. Wednesday special was Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich! Delicious combination of cheese, bacon, cream cheese, and jalapeños. Tomato soup would have made this the perfect meal!

We were hosting a special guest visiting from China, so we really wanted the evening to be perfect, and Copper Spoon delivered on every front. The food and drinks were outstanding across the board. We started with fresh oysters and delicious house breads, and our main courses--specifically the ribeyes and the salmon--were cooked to absolute perfection. As great as the food was, the absolute highlight of our evening was our waitress, Kate. She went exceptionally above and beyond to make sure our experience was nothing short of wonderful. Her attentive service, warm hospitality, and professionalism truly elevated the entire night for our group. If you're looking for an unforgettable meal with top-tier service in Fort Wayne, go to Copper Spoon and ask to sit in Kate's section. Highly recommended!

My husband ordered a burger. He really enjoyed his, & I enjoyed the martini-- I'm not vegan, so the fact that I didn't enjoy the dish was a personal issue, not on the restaurant. It was beautiful & had depth of flavor, it just wasn't to my liking. I wish there had been a few more options on the menu for food. Overall, the ambience was lovely & the restaurant is beautiful inside. Would return for another dining experience... I just know to avoid this dish on my second try!
