    Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
    Tavid M.

    Went there twice in two weeks. Small out of the way diner with maybe 28 seats. Diners are also neighbors and will strike up a conversation with you. Great people and fun time. Food was very good, quick and fast both for breakfast and lunch. The breaded tenderloin especially was THICK and juicy, not pounded flat like a pizza. Yum! Highly recommend this place on the Wells corridor in downtown Fort Wayne.

    We were in town for a bowling tournament. Looked for breakfast spots and found this one. When we got there they were packed but it moved quickly. We had to wait a minute because there was five of us. We were seated and they waited on us right away. Everyone was so nice. Food came out quick and everything was great!! No wonder this is a hot spot!! Everything had great flavor and the portions were big. Definitely get your moneys worth. If we are ever in town again we will be back!!

    The door facing wells street is only for emergency exit. Entrance to the diner is on the south side of the building

    It's a mom & pop diner for sure. I had breakfast. The #1. 2 eggs, potato's, meat (I had ham) and toast. Coffee& water. I did add onions to m my potatoes. 75 cent up charge. Total bill $11.70 + tip. It was worth it. Atmosphere was most enjoyable for me. I highly recommend Klemm's Kafe on 1429 N Wells st.

    Garbage plate with rye toast.  So good!
    Chad B.

    Love this place! Not a ton of parking or seating, but worth it. Great service! You know this place is legit because it seems like a place with many repeat customers. The garbage plate is one of the main dishes. Basically, it's a skillet with potatoes, eggs, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, and sausage.... All covered in gravy. Very filling, but great for a cold day.

    Eat it!

    Solid breakfast place! We were in the city for a wedding and I yelped breakfast on Saturday morning. Ended up here. Parking was a little tight, but it definitely had character. The place was hopping. Standard breakfast fare. If I lived in Fort Wayne I'd definitely go back. If you're in town, give it a try. It is not fancy at all, but good breakfast!

    Croissant sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese as well as a side of coleslaw.

    An adorable hole in the wall restaurant that is popular with the locals. The staff are friendly and the service is fast. I got the croissant sandwich with bacon, cheese, and egg. The inside of the sandwich was great and the bacon was flavorful. My issue was with the croissant - it tasted like a cheap, Pillsbury crescent roll.

    #12. Garbage Plate

    What a wonderful little find. small place with big portions. The garbage plate was amazing. Plenty of food. You will not leave here hungry. The prices are the best in town.

    I cannot say enough good things about Klemm's!!!! They advertise themselves as the best breakfast in town, and based on the meal i had, the argument is very solid. It is a cozy old school throwback that runs very efficiently. We were greeted with a "Hello, friend!" by our server. Coffee arrived almost instantaneously, and the food was out quick. There are several menu combinations and options...literally something for everyone. I ordered the "Garbage" plate which comes with your choice of sausage or chorizo, but I asked for ham instead. You can also scramble in tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Come with a side of toast. Let me just say that the American Fries are legit! You can watch them bring fried on the grill, and they are real potatoes--not the frozen hash browns typical of other breakfast establishments. It was an incredibly tasty dish! My coffee cup never ran dry until I wasready to leave. The service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere of this place was just very neat. Five stars isn't enough to do this place justice...it needs a minimum of 8! Believe the reviews on here, do yourself a favor, and treat yourself to an excellent breakfast at Klemm's!

The Beer Garden is a nice place to hang out while you wait. Though the seats are all wood and low to the ground. The Philly Steak and cheese was piled high with tender and moist beef. Not a lot of seasoning to the meat. The au jus provided some enhanced beef flavoring. The bun was relatively soft while maintaining a toughness that made it nice to dip without falling apart. I thought the sandwich would come with more peppers and ooze with cheese, but it did not. The Mac & cheese was just kinda there. It didn't do much to ramp up the tastes. The noodles were very soft - almost squishy. There was a mild amount of sauce to the noodles. I would prefer more...enough that you would want to dip the bread in the leftover sauce. The cheddar cheese that laid on top didn't stick to the noddles...it just peaked off. My wife loved her Burrito Americana sandwich. Lots of moist chicken and fresh fillings. Overall there are plenty of simple and diverse things on this menu! The Deck had plenty of help to move people along. Though they didn't push you out. It was nice to just enjoy the food, company, nature and the dinning experience. The Deck is a Fort Wayne icon if you have not been there!l

    I would give it 5 stars for the service and location along the river, however the fish tacos I had…read morewere a maybe 1 to 1.5 star, so an overall 3. Instead of a nice piece of fish in the taco, what I got were over spiced fish crumbles. In other words a small piece of fish that was scrambled into bits and spread thinly into the taco. And kind of greasy as well, so keep some tums on hand. You get 3 tacos on bland flour tortillas. Instead of some kind of sauce you might usually associate with fish tacos. these were served with salsa verde, green salsa, probably out of a can. The grated cheese also was straight out of a gordons food service bag I'm guessing. They were one of the cheaper things on the menu for $12. Really you generally go to the Deck for the outside ambience, but if you like fish tacos, don't bother trying these.

    I made a return trip especially to try the pizza. I've seen lots of reviews saying Bubba's pizza…read morewas really good. So, I had to try it for myself. I ordered a 12 inch Deluxe 33 pizza. This was a large pizza. More than I could eat in one sitting. The crust is thin except on the outer edges. The wood fired process makes the outer crust crispy - in some spots very crispy. The bottom of the pizza was still soft and nicely baked and lightly coated with corn meal. The crust has a buttery garlic flavor which was delicious. The quantity of toppings was just right. The vegetables had a slight crisp and tasty fresh. The meats had good flavors. No strong Italian flavors. I liked the larger and thicker chunks of sausage. The pizza sauce was kind of hidden. It was hard to detect as it wasn't very plentiful. Seemingly it is slightly sweet with a mild tomato taste. Cold Pizza Test - the crust stayed moist with a slight crunch. The flavor of the toppings seemed to blend even more with time and coldness. The corn meal base flavor seemed to become even more prominent. Bubba's cold Deluxe pizza had an enjoyable taste! The side salad was nice. The greens were fresh with a limited number of side vegetables. I accepted the onion straws on top of the salad. While the onion straws had a nice taste...the number of crunchy items dominated the salad. I thought I was eating more straws than lettuce. The team here works hard. The shift manager is on the ball and keeps things moving. She is very professional and welcoming. Myranda was our waitress. She hustled and came back to check on us frequently. We appreciated her service and kindness. Just to reiterate from previous reviews. This is a large but busy place. Use the wait list feature. Otherwise you are gambling on longer wait times.

The restaurant is definitely a sports bar. Large TVs line every wall. The decor is Americana. While it's loud when it's full, it just adds to the energy of the place. My husband and I both ordered the Shotgun Shrimp Po' Boy. He had Fire Fries and I had the loaded tots. The Po' Boy was loaded with shrimp and the Shotgun sauce is delicious! Hubbys Fire Fries had quite a kick, but so good! And my loaded tots were delicious! I highly recommend you get yourselves to Bubbas 33. They make everything from scratch which makes it all even better!
