Wonderful array of food and beer. The band was awesome tonight. Love the vibe of this place. Chicken strips were huge and amazing. Serves 2.

Even with a full parking lot, they always have seating. Food is always fresh and delicious and their own beers are some of the best in town. Quick service and friendly servers!

A classic Fort Wayne restaurant. We stopped by for a late lunch while biking through the city. I had the Italian Grinder since I was craving something old school and the sandwich was a great choice. The red beans and rice side was a bit different than what I remembered from past visits but was okay. The service was pretty good, considering there was only one waitress on the floor, but she was keeping up pretty good with everyone. The atmosphere is fantastic with interesting outside views of people conducting their daily business either on Taylor or Broadway. I will be back as I have been since at least the mid-1980's.

Had a great wait person! It was pretty good. Can't complain, except, I ordered the Scooby Snacks. Should have investigated a little more. Won't do that again. Nothing what I expected.

Went for dinner. Took a little time to get our food- a couple of tables ordered after our order was already in and got their food before us.

Our server was phenomenal tonight. I had the fish and chips, but opted for their scooby snacks instead, and a raspberry wheat beer. Always a great time. They just don't miss!

Great place, where everyone knows your name. Nice place to sit back and relax especially on these hot summer days
