    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!

    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!

    We drove from the south side of town based on Yelp saying you were open until 2:00. You close at 1:00 so keep customers informed please.

    Need to drop a 5 star for these guys. Spent one night in Fort Wayne, it was an absolute blizzard on…read morea Sunday morning. Penny Drip was open at 8:30am (blasting incredible music btw), ready to go. I got a vanilla latte (for me) and a pistachio matcha (my partner). Latte was great and the matcha was one of the best matchas I've ever tasted. Syrup was mixed perfectly - subtle matcha taste - everything you love to see. Loved their vibe - will definitely visit again when we're back in FW. Will need to try their vegan breakfast sandwich!

    Penny Drip is definitely a convenient one-stop shop no matter what time of day you go. They offer…read moreeverything from craft coffee drinks to craft beer and handcrafted cocktails, which makes it a versatile spot whether you're meeting friends, working, or just passing through. The environment has a slightly industrial feel with just a hint of coziness, which gives it a modern but still comfortable vibe. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel. It was alright -- nothing special, but given the size and volume of the place, I don't necessarily expect everything to be made completely fresh to order. It did the job. The service was also just alright. My interaction with the barista/bartender was brief and unfortunately a bit stale. She wasn't rude, just not particularly warm or memorable. Overall, it's a convenient place with a lot of options, but the experience itself was pretty average.
