50 Best American Restaurants near Huntertown

“I just loved the old diner! It just brought me back to childhood. The service was great. The food was amazing! My bacon was cooked perfectly then with my potatoes and gravy, you have 3 different options of potatoes ? ? it was a great place to sit and chat with a friend.“

“This review was written by my wife. Wing Quest - Week 8: This week's wing adventure took place in The Willows on Gump Rd, Huntertown. The Willows is kind of a Richards-looking place with one exception---there's a bar at one end! The restaurant itself is clean and efficient with a server who is very friendly and knows most of her clientele. The bartender does what one would expect. She tends to the bar patrons. Willows' wings come 6 to an order for $7.15. Hardier appetites can be satiated with 12 for $14.30, 18 for $21.45, or 50 for $51.99. Wings can be dressed in Mild, Medium, Hot, Suicide, Butter Garlic, Butter Cajun, Butter Garlic Cajun, The Willows Special, BBQ, Honey Mustard, Teriyaki, or Buffalo sauce. Willows' wings are large, but not the jumbo wings that sometimes come to the table less than done. These wings are crisp, tender, and juicy. They are not rubbed in spices or rolled in breading. They are just pure chicken with sauce on, the way wings are intended to be enjoyed. The Honey Mustard is a basic no-frills needed sauce. It's mild mustard and slight honey sweetness is a nice enhancement to the chicken. The Willows Special is a secret house-made sauce that is garlic heavy with a hint of sweetness, almost a finer version of Teriyaki. If you like a bit of heat the Hot sauce is for you. It's a very flavorful condiment that soaks through the crispy skin to marinate the meat and dance pleasantly on the tongue. If you like more that just a bit of heat, we suggest the Suicide sauce. It's got a beautifully unique flavor, almost like that of the musky-smoky Scorpion Pepper, but I have no clue what's really in it. I just know it's pretty darned good! This sauce has enough heat to bring a mist of sweat to the brow without lingering on the palate so long as to be with you for hours after. Overall, this trip on our quest was a true success. If wings aren't your thing The Willows offers daily specials and a wide variety of breakfast items, munchies, salads, sandwiches, burgers, wraps, baskets, ala carte servings, dinners, pastas, and flatbread pizza. In fact, I've got my eye on the Seafood Combo Plate (10 grilled shrimp, 2 butterfly shrimp, clam strips, and 2 homemade crab cakes). Keep on wingin' everyone! FYI: Full bar service is available. Fresh pies, cakes, and cheesecakes are served daily. The Willows is the 2nd eatery in 8 weeks of reviewing wings that provided wet naps and bone receptacles“

“Great experience at Klemms, food was amazing and service is quick! The staff were friendly and to the point!My wife cant eat meat and they accommodate her order by cooking it separately in a pan instead of the grill, even when they’re very busy they took care of that detail!Coffee was good and the hot chocolate delicious. My steak was my choice, it was cooked as i ordered and don’t forget about the American fries!Very recommended, would visit again!“

“I woke up this morning at 2am with major jet lag and a strong need for a good breakfast. So, I waited for opening and took my wife for breakfast. We live the service, large portions, and great food. This is a great place to relax and have a meal.“

“Not knowing it was St Patrick’s Day, I stumbled in for lunch looking for a good Philly. Irish music was playing, good mannered customers all donned in green and gold having a good time talking and enjoying the “holiday”. The food was on point and the service great. I imagine it’s been 20 years since I moved from Fort Wayne and visited this restaurant. I will not wait so long next time!“

“The Factory is a clean, strangely cozy restaurant. The front of house staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The servings are very generous, beautifully plated, and well worth how much they cost. The vibe and ambiance is well thought out. The historic photos add so much charm and story to the location and our city. Additionally, the seating is comfortable.Vegetarian options: Menu was not great at navigation what selections were vegetarian or what could easily become veg.Dietary restrictions: Menu is difficult to tell if an option meets dietary restrictions.Gluten free buns are available on request.“

“It’s my husband and my first time here! It seems like a more upscale sports bar when you enter. Best bar rail we have seen in a while! We let Kaitlyn our bartender know it was our first timehere. She was super sweet and had a nice welcome. Very attentive during our time there. The food was good too! Loved the pasta Kaitlyn recommended. Husband said the wings were "freaking awesome"! Thanks Kaitlyn and Pub 1802! Can't wait to come back.“

“Liberty diner has some of the most amazing food I have ever eaten with an absolutely wonderful staff. I have never had a bad experience and if something were to come back not tip top they would fix it in heartbeat. I will go in every time I'm in fort Wayne.“

“Everytime I come here workers n owner are very welcoming as soon as I walk in with my abuelo they sit us down immediately and take our orders quickly been coming here since I was around 12 food is always good and they are still yet to get my order “

“It was a very nice dining experience with primarily and attentive waitress, although there was some confusion at the end with the bill since we were given the wrong one. However she was able to straighten it out although it took a few minutes to get her attention and there was some concern that another patron might walk out with our credit card.“

“The food was served a little cold but was really good. Wings, burgers, and tater tots are what I’ve tried. The big guy with a beard and the lady with the blue hair are were really nice. The bartender did an amazing job making an old fashion, it was quite strong. ?“

“The strawberry shortcake Sundae is good, but the entire CHUNK of shortcake was surprisingly unexpected. Fries are great, chicken was good but the oil needed changed. Kid taking orders was super polite! This was our first time here, and we'll come back next season!“

“I met up with a large group (20+) people here. They did a great job of having space for us and taking care of us. The food was excellent. It's rare for me to ask for a take home container, but I was unable to finish the monster omelette, potatoes, and pancakes that were all included in my meal. The portions were massive, especially for the price. This seems like the type of place that I should bring my teenage kids ?“

“Only went for lunch. Had a BLT. it was very good. It's a grey hair place, so this a real review but more of an overview of a place that everyone there knows multiple people there. I don't think anything would floor me but ivv be also think nothing will disappoint either. Nice bar but little to no bar vibes. I'd go again knowing I'll get a decent experience.“

“I really enjoyed the breakfast choices I have had so far, the Breakfast Manhattan and French Toast are delicious. Can't wait to return and try more and the Lunches too. I saw today that they had a special on Frog Legs. Cool, Only In America!“

“I've been a few times now and I LOVE this restaurant!! Every time I go I will try something new and I always love it. The staff is always very kind and attentive. The decor is pretty cool, they have a large fake lobster on a wall in a smaller "party/event" type room lol. It's just a really cool place :)“

“I've been coming here for years. since Shelby has taken over, I've had THE best experience. she's a great owner, caring and on top of everything. the bartenders and waitress are above perfect . those girls give you the best service . you can't get better“

“The food is always good. My family and I have been going here for years every Monday and they treat us very well. Excellent service. Never been to the one in Leo or on Hillegas can't speak for those. As far the one on Wells and and 4th it's very good.“

“I love the product! Probably some of the best ice cream I have ever had . My only critique is on the take home pint of ice cream. My experience it doesn't actually weigh a pint. And I feel it's a lot of money and you should get what you pay for. However as far as the product goes it is superb and hope everyone gets a chance to try it. You will thoroughly enjoy it.“

“We stopped by Vinland Reserve Winery for dinner on a Sunday evening. We signed up for the Reserve Wine Club and immediately took advantage of all the benefits! We had dinner with a 10% discount. Enjoyed a complimentary flight of wine. Then after eating we headed over to the tasting room for a few more samples. We picked up 2 complimentary bottles of our favorites and then went to the gift shop and got a 20% discount on our take home goodies. We will definitely be back this summer for a fire pit reservation!“

“We love this place. The staff and bartenders are amazing. All walks of life here and always a good atmosphere. Love Karaoke on Friday and Saturday when they don't have a band. They have updated the place and it's so nice and clean. No smoking inside which I love but a really nice smoking patio. Also during the warmer months they have like garage door type windows that lift so you can talk to people outside.“

“Food was amazing. Had the ribs. Server was not the best. Had to ask several times for the same thing. When she picked up the money for the bill she asked if we needed change. Looked at the money and the 2 pull tabs and said nope you are food. I will go back but if she I'd my server I will ask for another one as it was the worst service I've had in a very long time.“

“amazing service. but the bathroom decided to turn into an escape room because the stall decided to lock but didn’t want to unlock. had to ask a fellow bathroom visitor for help. after I dropped my phone in the pooper and the phone splash made my pants moist.“

“I’ve been going here for years and i’ve never had a complaint for the brown house. staff is always great and food is always fresh. I understand every other fast food is doing the tip thing now, it’s nice to get tips. But i feel peer pressured to tip when you go from handing me a device and asking versus a teenager looking me in the face and asking me if i’d like to tip today. It’s not that i don’t have the money and or appreciate the service. It’s that many people like me have high anxiety and won’t be able to say no to that. I did end up tipping, that i did not want to do. I feel like the device is a much better option to ask for a tip.“

“Longhorn is a place if you like steaks! Their vegetarian options are amazing. Bread with butter is mouthwatering. Mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, mushrooms , everything is so good. Manager came twice and asked us how are we doing!Vegetarian options: Mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, mushroom appetizer, baked potatoe, espartos, salad is so good“

“Acme has a wonderful vegan menu every Tuesday! We go almost weekly and always get the banh mi pizza, cauliflower wings, and sliders, all of which are incredible!Vegetarian options: Street tacos, taco pizza, cauliflower wings, onion sliders, salad, chili, cheesecake, nachos, crab rangoon, and more. The menu changes weekly but most of these selections are usually there. All listed items are vegan and available on Tuesdays!“

“Food was good but nothing was special except the broccoli casserole and croissants. I have been there in a couple years. Use to eat there often before i moved and there changed the gravy on the chicken fried steak. Not nearly as good as it was“

“During previous visits, I've always ordered breakfast (which is ALWAYS great), but this time, I ordered the Jalapeño Burger (waitress Sandy's fav), and it was delicious with just the right amount of kick. Highly recommend this mom and pops restaurant for breakfast or lunch!! Kudos to the cook!!!“

“We were 1st time visitors to Garrett IN and saw the parking lot jammed at this nice place. Always a good sign! Their Friday night fish was fantastic! Honestly, the best I've ever had, and at 75, that's saying something I asked where they sourced their breading and tartar sauce. It's all homemade by the owner. Great prices, too. This is a cozy neighborhood bar and grille with lots of charm.“

“Interesting location on upper level. There is an elevator which is handy for those challenged by stairs. I had the Ruben which was loaded with all the right stuff. However, I thought it lacked some the "tang" you expect in that sandwich.“

“Great food, very friendly and efficient wait staff. Make you feel like family. Just a small town diner with amazing home cooked meals.On Friday evenings they open up for dinner, (normally close at 2) and serve some awesome specials. Had the prime rib, best that I have had in a long time.“

“Decent local place for a few beers. Comfortable atmosphere and friendly bartenders. ***still the exact same as it was a year ago, as it was many years ago; A local bar for locals and anybody else for that matter that is looking for a down-to-earth place to relax and have a few drinks away from the busy areas of town.“

“First time at Coyote Creek and had a nice experience. Sat outside on the patio and the area was nice and breezy; perfect for summer days. I got the silder samplers and the Trash Can Tots and everything tasted great! The pork tenderloin sliders had a great crispy exterior but still juicy interior. Besides the service taking a little longer than expected this place is a great lunch spot!“

“Facebook reviews was right, food here was good . Had the boneless pork ribeye and sweet potato fries. The pork was very flavorful and tender and the fries came with a sweet cream cheese dipping sauce.Wife had the prime rib and was very well prepared and a nice generous cut as well. Our server was on top of everything and took good care of us. Very freindly place , plan on visiting again.“

“Best Wings in Fort Wayne. My adults sons dragged me there, and now I've been back a bunch. There are other options in town for good wings, I've been to dozens, but these are the best. Also you will not find better French Fries.“

“Excellent service and excellent food! We sat at the counter and got served immediately. I told the server I was gluten free and she said they could do french toast for me, with pecans and powdered sugar. It was delicious! My husband reports the coffee is good as well.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free bread available, gluten-free french toast“

“Amazing , caring and efficient staff . My granddaughter spent a day and a half there and it was extremely stress free for her mom and I. Not saying that a hospital is a choice place to visit , just better than other hospitals I’ve visited or been a patient at .“

“Best Bar in LaOtto!Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options available. Salads and rolls and pizza all without meat.Parking: There is parking in front and a few spots in the back. It's appreciated to try to use the front parking if possible.Kid-friendliness: Bar atmosphere. 21+.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, in the back of the bar there is a ramp, and a ramp inside.“

“Awesome little hole in the wall, bar neighborhood, Lauren, Grill, Jeremiah, and and Hershey amazing bartenders always know what you want before you even want it in my life spent New Year’s Eve together and came here for the ball drop had our first kiss of the new year seen some old friends and had a drink. I don’t go out much, but when I do I love to go here, thanks Matt thanks Jeremiah for awesome night. They also have karaoke here quite a bit and it’s always fun to hear the good singers and funny to hear the not so good singers love this place.“

“A nice local brewery with a nice food menu. The three of us who dined had no problem finding something to eat. I tried the Raspberry Beer and it was okay. Needed a bit more of the fruit flavor to shine, but overall okay. I got the fish and chips and the fish was perfectly fried. The waffle fries have a delicious seasoning that tastes great alone. I am a dipper of ketchup and still did enjoy dipping, but whatever seasoning they use is perfect!“

“Had my wife’s birthday dinner and the staff was amazingly accommodating throughout the entire experience. They assured me everything would be amazing, and it certainly was, even as the headcount kept growing. Our server was fantastic, and all of the food was wonderful. Amazing vibe, of course. It was our first time but not our last—what an amazing little gem in Fort Wayne. Thank you so much!“

“Great experience. Placed my order and after exchanging a few words my order was ready. The coney dogs were great I had mined with cheese. The cheese fries and chili cheese fries were also a hit. Even got a bowl of chili that was on point. Thanks. Will be back.“

“Great little place with reasonable prices and good food. It’s a mix of booths and tables with hard chairs. I’m gluten free and they had gf toast available when I said I was gf. I had a scramble and it was tasty.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free toast available upon request.“

“We have been coming here for the last year and a half and up til the last 2 months it’s been great… but our last 2 visits were horrible. The service is amazing from the waiter we had the manager/bartender who couldn’t make my drink order after 15 mins (no they were NOT in lunch rush) maybe 10 tables in different stages of eating and 8 -10 bar patrons) wanted to argue instead of listen to the complaint that the wing sauce was not correct. The foot long dark brown hair in the Alfredo was also disgusting. Yes they took the items off the bill. Will not be coming back.“

“We stopped in here for lunch and were immediately greeted when we walked through the door. The service was good, the food was great. Their special for the day was a homemade chicken salad sandwich. It was just like my grandma used to make, like traveling back in time! Can't wait to explore more items from the menu!“

“To make things easy this year, we decided to order our Thanksgiving meal from Honey Baked Ham. We ordered a 9 lb Ham, smoked Turkey breast, loaded potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and baked beans. Everything was delicious!!“

“First visit here! Super impressed! Such great service, outstanding food, and wonderful atmosphere! Everyone was so polite and kind. This looked like the happiest place on earth. Also had lots of tables and seating, plenty of room between tables. Wow, what a great place :-)“

“This Culver’s has THE BEST manager. We stopped by to treat our sports team to ice cream and he made our visit fast and efficient. The staff even took the time to ask our athletes questions and congratulate them on their success. I know it’s just fast food but thank you for the great experience!“

“We looked for a place to eat at the other end of town. Most were national chain type restaurants. The wait to be seated was horrendous. We went to the Town Tavern and got seated immediately. We try to honor local places anyway. We will be back.“

“After a while, everything begins to taste the same. Maybe I'm just not a barbecue person, but I also feel as though it is overpriced. I gave it four stars. I can't complain about the taste or the quality, it is good. But it is pricey and like I said to me, it all starts to taste the same.“
