    Really cool spot to grab hot and tasty breakfast. I had the biscuits sausage and gravy and they were really good. Everything was cooked perfectly and fresh very quiet atmosphere mostly older people. The staff was very friendly.

    Cup of French onion soup

    Shout out to Liberty Diner in Fort Wayne. They have been there over 20 years. My first time there and it was excellent! Fantastic French onion soup. Probably the best onion rings in ft. Wayne!! Recommended!! I had a 1/2 lb Angus bacon mushroom Swiss burger. Cooked to order and perfection. I asked for pink in the middle and that's what I actually got!! Attentive waitress!

    Soup of the day Manhatten clam chowder was a #yum ReviewsByRL

    Was staying at a nearby hotel and called for takeout. Ordered online , got the reuben that comes with fries and the soup of the day. Also asked for extra thousand island dressing. Got to restuant and order was ready. Peeked in bag to make sure all was there. Got back to hotel. Reuban and fries were hit. Disappointed that there was no thousand island at all. Fortunately the sandwich had enough saurkraut and cheese that it was moist and tasty. The surprise was the soup. I thought it was tomato, of maybe a chicken bisque at first. But it turned out to be a Manhatten (red broth) clam chowder. Which I like. And it had a really nice amount of clams. #Yum #ReviewsByRL

    Good service. Comfortable seating. Huge variety on the menu. Hubby got a Mediterranean Salad. It was huge! And a side of onion rings. Those came out super hot! I had the gyro platter. Also huge. Everything was very tasty. Fresh and crisp.

    Country fried steak and eggs.  In the background is a broccoli quiche.

    A classic converted Big Boy. Got in after closing last night and was going to Uber elsewhere. Fella came out and asked us if we were OK and told him we drove truck and just got in late. He got us a couple of bowls of chicken and rice with a bunch of rolls and wouldn't take our money. Great dinner vibe with a very usa theme. These folks are first class and even garnish the plates.

    This is a Greek spot with an nyc vibe. The restaurant is large so there's plenty of space and parking (although the location is kinda sketch). The coffee was very watery but the rest of the food was delicious. I had one of the over 100 options available (French toast, bacon, and eggs). The omelette was good too. It's a local joint so my family new the server. She was friendly, even though she was unable to redo the awful coffee. The prices were a bit much BUT the portions were humongous so that was good. It's kinda a regular diner. I would go again.

    Fish fry

    OMG the people here are so kind and patient. Holly is amazing- I wish everyone was so patient and understand as she is. I have a hard time with choices and she helped me. I don't like confrontation so I wasn't going to say I didn't fully enjoy the lasagna but she asked and I felt bad saying so but she put me at ease thank you Holly. To be clear all the components were delish. Truly the best wish fry I have ever tried. I highly recommend it. I tried the clam chowder soup and this was the best I had ever had as well. 10/10 ---- I was so happy they offered me some to go

    Coyote Creek Bar & Grill (Hillegas Road/just across the interstate bridge) - large menu, good food,…read moreno rush I will keep this review short. Coyote Creek is set at the golf club on Hillegas Road. It's it's south of the highway 30 over pass and north of where Coliseum Blvd meets Hillegas. We love eating here when we can sit out on the patio. Eating inside is nice as well. It is a large facility that is easy to get a table. Good for larger groups too! They have a large menu with specials. Their bar can meet most all your needs as well. Overall their prices are pretty reasonable. The team here hustles and does their best to serve you well. The picture included is for their fish, shrimp and hushpuppy entree. Lots of popcorn type fried shrimp. Fish is cooked similar to Big Eyed fish - nice and flaky, thinner batter. The hushpuppies are smaller, sweet and moist. Cole slaw is very creamy. Good choice if you like fish!

    The food is great! We shared an appetizer sampler and a couple sliders. Everything was delicious!…read moreThe kitchen was short staffed, and the wait was a little longer than normal, but the food made it worth it, and our waitress was a doll, and checked in often despite most of the tables being full. The restaurant sits on a golf course, and the views are excellent. The restaurant is nice, in a classic way,which I adore. Take out is excellent, but we love dining in!

Lanes are super close together (duh) so the room is limited. I recommend 2 lanes if you're doing more than 6 people. 1 hour was enough time to play one game with six people at a casual pace. Table space while you're bowling is limited so we usually bowl with drinks and a group appetizer and then move back to the tables to have an actual meal. Lots of fun with good food in a friendly atmosphere. Get the blood Mary "all dressed up" (yeah I know it's $24 but it's well worth it) We tried the Crying Johnny Smashburger (tastes like POWERS used to. IYKYK), the chicken TENDIES, and the red velvet pancakes they have for brunch. We drank the PB & J old-fashioned, a Paloma and that bloody Mary that I would seriously consider trading my teenager for. Today was our 2nd time in 2 months and we plan on going back sooner than later. Give it a shot. You won't be disappointed.

    Ducky's - duck pin bowling is fun, but is the food good?…read more Ducky's advertises themselves as a scrap kitchen. So...it should be good, right? They don't have a very big menu. There are five entrees to go along with a small amount of burger, chicken tender and appetizer choices. I went with the burger of the month - the pizza burger. The friendly waiter said the pizza sauce was made in house from scratch. The sauce was outstanding! It was thick and sweet with a bold tomato paste taste. The bun was soft and slightly grilled with a buttery flavor - very nice! It is odd that the burger is served in halves and vertical. The burger patty was very thin and cooked to a medium well done consistency - I would prefer medium rare but they didn't ask my preference. I thought the burger was over cooked and a bit tough/crunchy on the edges. It did have and nice high quality meat flavoring as it is sourced locally. The burger was covered with grilled pepperoni. This added a nice "pizza" flavor when combined with a nice bedding of mozzarella cheese. My wife really liked her chicken tenders. They were nice and moist. The breading was unique, tasty and crispy. She said the fries were very good while the best part might have been the house fry dipping sauce. That sauce was a nice combination of southwest and traditional meat flavorings. The side salad, to replace the fries, was fresh yet very small. The salad came in a half-ball type dish that was slightly larger than half a baseball. The half ball was actually unstable to eat out of. I had to cup the bowl with one hand to keep it from tipping over. The salad had a few side tomato and pepper parts added. There just isn't much room for things in this small of a dish. We decided to try the strawberry bread pudding for dessert. This was a fantastic dish! The breading was basically two pieces of fried French toast. It was soft on the inside with a cinnamon swirl and strawberry pieces. The breading was drizzled with a thin moderately sweet strawberry flavored syrup. The syrup was accompanied by some fresh whipped cream also bathed in syrup. Overall, Ducky's does have good food. They have a limited menu at moderately expensive prices. My preference would be to sit down and enjoy the scratch made items versus squeezing them in while you bowl. Also consider dinning at Ducky's and walking across the street the Pearl Arts Center for a program.

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

We…read morewaited 45 minutes for "our" table then watched a birthday party get sat at the table we just waited for. When I inquired, I was told they "didn't know" there was a larger party ahead of us. The hostesses.....didn't know......there was a table ahead of us. So...... They sat a party of 4 (not everyone was there until 35 minutes after their party was seated) at the table we just waited 40 minutes for and didn't bother to come tell us. The manager admittedly misspoke several times as did the hostess. We come to an agreement then waited ANOTHER 45 minutes before we get sat. So we are at separate tables (which we didn't want) and now we have seperate servers.... Ok great.... One tables server shows up almost immediately the other shows up 15 minutes later. We get a round on the house for the "misunderstanding" with the initial seating. We all order. I order a salad with an extra breadstick. 30 minutes later, Everything comes out except my salad. Of course something else goes wrong. Apparently, my salad was given to another table. So ANOTHER 20 minutes goes by, everyone was about finished with their food, and my salad shows up, chicken very well done and no extra breadstick. I ask for a box, reminding the server about the extra breadstick, because everyone else is done eating and we are all absolutely DONE being there (6:15-9:45). 15 minutes later, there is a problem with our bill. Just ours. Not anyone else's. Just ours. The second table with us has already checked out. No one acknowledges that the entire experience was At this point, wtf else Could go wrong. Seriously. No one acknowledges all of the bullshit that has happened with the lack of service for 20 minutes, the "policies" that only apply to certain people and the continued lack of accountability. We tried to come together as a family to honor my mother and remember her last day on this earth. We tried to be patient and wait for the perfect table, we tried to stay positive and "roll with it" Ultimately, this was the WORST experience I have ever had here and I've been coming here since late 2002. Very disappointed. If the seating were the only issue, I wouldn't even say anything. Mistakes happen AND they made it right. However, the continued "mistakes" and lack of awareness by the staff make the entire experience disheartening. The LEAST you could do, is your job and it seems that was difficult. I appreciate what the manager said and did to make the seating "mistakes" correct. It ended there. I can't review my food because I never got the chance to eat it.
