I went to this establishment after an event at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum with my family We were "greeted" by one of the servers but he didn't seem happy that there were more customers there, basically looked at us like we were a nuisance (which was a theme for our entire time in the restaurant). After being seated, we had to wait upwards of 10 minutes to even get a drink order placed as it appeared that this was the only server on the floor despite numerous people walking around in uniform. It took another 10 minutes at least to actually get those drinks to the table and get our order placed, and my drink was incorrect because I was told this server "had somebody else make it." (For reference, I had ordered a mango iced tea and was given a mango lemonade. Not necessarily the world's worst mistake, but it definitely added to the bad experience with the attitude I received from the server when I mentioned it.) My family and I placed our orders (a burger, turkey sandwich, steak tips, and a chicken sandwich) and it took 40 MINUTES for us to actually get our orders to the table. (Before anyone claims I'm being dramatic, I actually timed it because we were in this town for an event and had to still drive back home that night, and it took considerably longer than expected because of this experience.) Finally, after the food reached our table, we didn't see our server again until the bill came around, meanwhile the family member who ordered the steak tips stated that they weren't cooked right, to the point that my family member said they "wouldn't feed this bad stuff to my dog", but again nobody was there to try and fix this issue. Also, the entire bill was 70 DOLLARS, for basically 3 sandwiches and steak tips that would've been better if they had just opened up a can of Alpo and served that. It is absolutely ridiculous on so many levels. This was definitely an experience I'll never forget, and one place I'll definitely make sure to avoid unless there's absolutely no other choice; I mean, Taco Bell was an option, and my family decided that this place would be better, but clearly that was a mistake to think that way.Parking: Small drive, hard to get into and out of.

Went for dinner. Staff was courteous. Not super busy so service was quick and good. Food was excellent. Would recommend and will definitely visit again. Previous experience at a different location in Fort Wayne made us hesitant, we we were surpised at how different this location was.

The food was decent. We had a family emergency and we were all from out of town. We had a decent wait before we could even get a table. It was about 11:00pm and there were 9 people in total. At first the server we had seemed pretty nice and took care of us. However, after a while more people came in and our service changed. We asked for refills and were brought to-go cups instead which we kinda took that as a hint to "get the hell out of here". The food it self was okay but some things were slightly messed up. Overall it wasn't bad. Could have been better and could have been worse.

Security there, and drunks that come out of Brandy's and waitress is rude. ( Oh, I forgot this is Ft.Wayne..that is typical for this area of angry people).

The food we had was amazing. The waiter we had was also amazing. I wish I was able to give them more of a tip for how helpful and nice they were. I have never had a bad time at this location. Definitely will recommend if anyone is looking for any kind of food at any time of day or night.

So me and my wife came to the Coldwater Rd location for breakfast. My wife got the Big Steak omelette with Cinnibon pancakes and I got the Meaty, Cheesy N Crunchy omelette with Double Blueberry pancakes. Her food didn't look bad but as for mine? My omelette had a complete lack of ingredients. Throughout the course of my omelette I had more bites that were only egg than I had bites with ingredients in it! The pancakes? I know double blueberry is blueberry pancakes with blueberry topping but I had maybe a spoonful of topping for 3 pancakes! I could have understood had they been busy but no they weren't busy at all! My personal level of disappointment in such an established business is through the roof! Looks like I'll stick to my local diners!

Food was okay. It seemed to not have much flavor. The bathroom was gross and the floors and tables as well. Not a pleasant atmosphere. Not enough room to walk to the table. Seemed overly crowded with all tables and chairs in such a small place. Also the table are very small. Not enough room on the table to put all the food without cramming all the plates together.Parking: Parking lot is small.

Horrible service, waited for over an hour to get did while we watched table after table get fed that came after us. Then when the food did come it was so horrible we couldn't even eat it so we left and went elsewhere.
