    Brisket, jalapeno sausage, spoon bread, and green chili mac and cheese
    Chad P.

    This place was so great...such a gem to eat at. I'm really glad I tried it. You order at the window and they bring it to your table when it's ready. No frills and an easy menu to order from. I had the jalapeno sausage, brisket, spoon bread, and green chili mac and cheese. I was blown away from all of it! Jalapeno sausage was full of flavor and almost didn't need any sauces. Brisket was perfect and went well with all of the sauces. Green chili mac and cheese was so good and full of flavor. Lastly, the spoon bread was a great way to finish it off. It was just so smooth and full of flavor. I really left this place full and happy. And I definitely hope to return someday soon!

    Great service friendly atmosphere, the pulled pork Sammie with pimento cheese and coleslaw is absolutely amazing! I look forward to trying more items from here!

    The 1st time we came to Shigs in Pit, we got into Fort Wayne 5 minutes after they closed. We were so intrigued by the name, we knew we had to return. Fast forward to a year later, I had business in Fort Wayne again, so we made sure we got into town early and we were not disappointed. I had 10 of the baked Buffalo chicken wings and my wife had the two meat plate, chosing Jalapeno sausage and Beef Brisket. The chicken wings were cooked to perfection and their version of the Buffalo sauce was different than any I had tried. It was sweeter than spicy and was quite delicious. My wife enjoyed the Jalapeno sausage, but the brisket was a little dry. The Green Chillies Mac & cheese and spoon corn bread were outstanding. The people here are all wearing mask and social distancing is evident, with tables closed off. All in all, we had a pleasant and safe experience and will be back.

    Nice spot. 3 locations in town! Brisket was well seasoned. Maybe a touch too salty? Shredded pork had a big flavor too. A delight to eat. The mac n cheese was seasoned with green pepper to give it a little kick! The cornbread was soft and just a little sweetness. 2 great sides. Have to buy the rub to try on my chickens. #spicemeister approved.

    What a great place for some good food. Loved the whole set up they had inside. Great selection of foods with some unique sides that are delicious. I had pulled pork, burnt end brisket, apple pie baked beans and their French fries! We finished with some dessert and that was so yummy (lemon curd pie)

    This is one of those spots that you have to try. Fast, friendly window service. The brisket was the best I ever had. The sides were good but the BBQ was great!

    With a name like that, how could you NOT want to try this place???

    Pretty great BBQ joint in Fort Wayne--who knew!!! Our party of five sampled a little bit of just about everything and we were absolutely not disappointed. Unfortunately, they were out of burnt ends on our visit (which is reason enough for me to go back someday), but the brisket, chicken, pulled pork and ribs were all smokey good. However, my favorite part of the meal was the "corn bread", which is really more like a corn casserole, but completely delicious. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, family meal feel--all great things at Shigs in Pit!

    The food is off the hook good. The service is always friendly and attentive. The ambiance is hip,…read moreand the location is perfect for when you are in the downtown area- walkable from the Arts district. We were here for the weekend and ate here every meal. Today's choice: Carnitas Benedict with a side of cheesy, jalapeño grits .

    Dash In - historic downtown breakfast or lunch option…read more First off...Dash In won't appeal to everyone. The prices are a bit high compared to other places with similar food items. Parking may be a challenge depending on the time of day. And the dinning area is small. Dash In has been a downtown Fort Wayne eatery option for many years. They are located on Calhoun Street next to Pint & Slice and a couple blocks south of the court house. This restaurant has retained the vintage building feel. The interior brick and wood work are very attractive to go along with the more modern decor. The bar is very attractive. They have a very small street level outside patio if that is your preference. The shop is very small. I'm guessing the bar seats about 10 people. The main dinning area probably seats about 40. The team here is very friendly and welcoming. They hustle to serve. We went on a late Sunday afternoon and didn't not have to wait. I don't think they take reservations. There are lots of people coming and going with carry out orders. Today we had no problem finding a street parking spot. There is a parking garage nearby if no street spots are available. The menu is actually fairly broad. They have a special brunch menu along with a breakfast all day menu. There were several sandwiches and wraps available. A couple salads too. The coffee and alcoholic drink menus were very large. We didn't have either of these products this time so I can't give you any feedback on them. They have a special soup du jour and deli side selection. Today it was a mushroom arugula soup and caprese salad side. My wife loves breakfast and ordered a make-to-order omelette with a side of grilled vegetables. She really liked the light tasting eggs and fresh tasting vegetables. The tomato bisque soup is one of their staples. It is delicious and would be great with a grilled cheese sandwich from the menu. The soup was smooth and creamy. It had a gentle tomato flavor along with a more predominant milk/cream base. The soup surprisingly has a stronger spicy after taste - still outstandingly delicious! The side salad is very simple. It has a combination of fresh spring mix lettuce along with a minimal amount of onion, cheese and red pepper. The honey mustard dressing was smooth, creamy, thick and a bit spicy. It was mild on the honey/sweet taste while stronger on the mustard accent. The Italian panini sandwich was very good. The ciabatta bread was slightly grilled with a firmer exterior but not crunchy. The bread had a very freshly baked taste. The sandwich had a high quality tasting ham, pepperoni, salami and provolone cheese. The meats weren't piled high...but enough to get the flavor from each. The grilled onions and banana peppers gave the sandwich a nice zing. The pleasant aioli sauce moistened the sandwich and blended the spicy meats with the zippy onions and banana peppers. Overall the food quality was excellent yet a bit more costly than you might expect. The service was spot on and helped make it a pleasant dinning experience. The older building design, if you like that, adds to the overall experience. Give them a try!

    Don't Let the Exterior Fool You--This Place is an Absolute Gem!…read more If you are just driving past, you might completely miss Salvatori's since it's attached to an older gas station. But don't let that fool you for a single second. Step inside, and you're instantly met with a cozy, inviting, and bustling little neighborhood Italian joint that packs a serious punch. ### The Vibe & Service The New Haven spot is small--it only seats about 48 people--which actually gives it an awesome, high-energy, intimate atmosphere. Even when they are absolutely slammed with dine-in, carryout, and catering, the service is lightning-fast and genuinely friendly. The staff treats you like regular family the minute you walk through the door. ### The Food The portions here are massive, and the value for what you pay is incredible. If you leave this place hungry, that is completely on you. * **The Dough:** It's easily some of the best tasting, freshest dough in the area. Whether it's their garlic breadsticks or the crust on their pies, they nail the texture perfectly. * **The Calzones:** They are absolute monsters. The *Abruzzo All Meat Calzone* and the *Salvatori Supreme* are loaded to the brim, baked beautifully, and served with a killer pizza dipping sauce. * **Veneto White Pizza:** If you want to skip the traditional red sauce, this is a must-try. The combination of chicken, alfredo, mushrooms, and fresh basil on that signature crust is top-tier. * **The Pastas:** They offer half-plate and full-plate options. The full plates are massive enough to guarantee lunch for the next day. The lasagna and the rich meat sauces taste like they've been simmering all day long. ### The Verdict Salvatori's New Haven proves that some of the absolute best food comes out of the most unassuming places. It's affordable, hearty, authentic comfort food served by great people. Just make sure to get there a little early if you want a table, or call ahead for carryout--it's a local favorite for a reason!

    Ok, hear me out, my husband talked about this place all week when he knew we would be driving…read morethrough Ft. Wayne. So it was being held at a very high standard for the other three who had not been there. It did not disappoint. The bread sticks were nicely cooked, airy with holes in the middle and choice of sauces. Manicotti with meat sauce, fettuccine Alfredo add chicken, spaghetti and meatballs and a small pizza were all delicious. They do have a gluten free option. Single bathroom that can accommodate a wheelchair but likely not a large enough turning radius. It is attached to a gas station so that would be alternative option. Sangria was on par, not too sweet. Server's are all experienced and very nice. Management checked on table to insure food was good. Full size portions are enormous. We definitely have left overs.
