    Ham and eggs
    Steve H.

    I ordered the Elizabeth Blackwell's egg Benedict and my wife had pancakes, eggs over and hash fried spuds. We couldn't eat the rest of the day! Huge portions, great service and cheerful folks everywhere! Enjoy!

    Came with my grandma and was pleasantly surprised! Huge portions at a great price point. The servers are SO friendly and patient with the older crowd. Very cozy and warm inside. Old time decor with a fireplace running. Definitely more home cooking type food. Will definitely be back

    Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes and Country Green Beans
    Brian R.

    Nice quaint nostalgic restaurant on Ft Wayne's south side. I had their meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans. The meatloaf was delicious but the mashed potatoes didn't have any gravy and were relatively hard. The green beans were fine nothing special. My wife had their pulled pork BBQ sandwich with fries. All of her entree was very flavorful and plenty of fries. The whole place is very clean and their servers are attentive but not bothersome and kept our drinks filled. We'll be back on our next trip.

    First timers here! This place has such a friendly and warm atmosphere. Our wonderful server Broderick recommended a few good options and we went with chicken parm and pizza casserole...uh..YUM!! To say the least!!! We will definitely be returning to try more dishes on their extensive menu!

    Meatloaf

    French Onion Soup was barely warm with an unmelted provolone cheese slab on top. The onions were oversized and crunchy. The burger, topped with a soggy bun, had excessive slaw that overpowered the flavor. The Mac and cheese and green bean casserole lacked flavor, even with added salt and pepper. Fortunately, the meatloaf and french fries were decent. It was a horrible experience!!!!

    Anyone try the catfish? I know most leave the skin on around here, which I'm not a fan. Also if the breeding is cornmeal or something else? Thanks?

    I know I like the cornmeal breading best. Make it more crispy when oven roasting. Just a little more healthy

Cosmos always has plenty of staff, great service and speedy food preparation. I tried the tenderloin based on recommendations from the Tenderloin FaceBook group. I ordered a breaded tenderloin. It was moderately thick - not pounded to a thin layer like a lot of tenderloins. The meat was very moist and tasty. The breading was a bit thinner than most traditonal tenderloins. It was darker in color with a saltier spice taste. The sandwich came with all the usual add ons - lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, ketchup, mustard. I really liked the sandwich!!

My wife ordered and enjoyed three eggs , hash browns and a really tasty biscuit! I, on the other hand, had the Philly steak. It was almost inedible! Instead of the traditional shaved tender steak, this one had big chunks of chewy beef and a tasteless cheese sauce on a bun that fell apart in your hands. It came with lemon rice soup that was good and outstanding French fries. The manager stopped by the table and I mentioned my disappointment. She immediately offered a substitute and I chose The Cosmo Egg Benedict that was extremely satisfying. All in all everything worked out well and I'm sure that we will return.

Sweetie came close, and my cousin can make great ones, but I need it more often than just at holidays. You can't find it at restaurants. Oh, you can find the brown sugar version, but we're talking REAL sugar cream pie, with just sugar, cream, and a little nutmeg on top. This lady does that. Place your order, pull up to her house on a gravel road not quite in the middle of nowhere, and there is pie. For $10 (I think it was on special, normally $12?) you get a real, home-made sugar cream pie. Great crust. Filling that is a cross between pudding and custard in texture, and subtly sweet. Is it as good as grandma's? Close. I'm biased, of course, and we ate the whole thing in a day, so no real complaints. But differences: a little coconut flavor, which must be a local variation? Crust was not quite the same. But on its own, as a pie, as a sugar cream pie, very good. We heard of her on PBS, and had to come by as soon as we were up this way. We will be back. I saw variations like chocolate sugar cream, and she makes many other pies, cookies, cinnamon rolls, etc. Well worth a detour!

Of course I see that others said they had this one and that one but...I had all of the choices (I did share with my friend). I had the snickerdoodle - spot on. I had a bite of the peanut butter and my friend wouldn't share anymore because it was so good. I had the molasses (hello old school) and it was delicious as well. The chocolate chip was also good but why have that if you can have one of the others. I'm not sure where this business is located as I ate these cookies at Board and Brush. I might have to sign up for another class just to eat more cookies!

    It seemed like a pretty quiet night at Summit Grill. I sat at the bar and order a glass of wine and…read morean appetizer: this sourdough pretzels. The bartender was kind and polite and quick with the service. There were only about three or four tables with people, let them during the course of my time. A few other folks came and sat at the bar. I heard it a side salad with salmon and it came out to me pretty quickly. The flavor was delicious, the salmon, well cooked, and the apple vinaigrette dressing on the salad was delightful. The biggest challenge, was a table with a few children sitting at it. This is no fault of the restaurant, and really, not even the result of my four-star rating. This is merely a statement: if your children are misbehaving and screaming and banging things on the table while other people are trying to eat their dinner, then perhaps the best option is to remove the children from the restaurant. It's always surprising to me when parents are selfish and subject everyone else in the vicinity around them to the poor behavior of their children. As a parent myself, I would never do that to other people. When you go out to a nice restaurant, you want to relax and enjoy the time not listen to tantrums from a three year old. Even the bartender in the servers were frustrated with this table. Some people even walked out after sitting down when they realize that unbelievable noise is coming from one table. Ok, soapbox time is over. Support the summit grill kitchen.

The brown sugar old fashioned was also made to perfection and paired wonderfully with the meal. The service was great, and the atmosphere was very nice -- upscale but still comfortable. It is definitely on the higher-end side price-wise, but you truly get what you pay for here. If you're looking for food and service that match the dollar amount you're spending, it's absolutely worth a visit. Very -family/large party- friendly
