Haven't tried others but definitely good. Had traditional Buffalo. Ranch made in house, also good. The was solid. Was expecting a little more traditional sauce (hot sauce, vinegar, butter, salt). Was a little peppery but that could be me. They do brine, bake and fried them. Interested to try some if the burgers. The kitchen is shared with an upstairs French - fancy cocktail , small plate place. Definitely not your traditional dive bar kitchen.

Quintessential local dive bar…read more.. Stopped by GFI for the first time to get a burger and beers on a Sunday. Pretty cool lil' place when you walk in... It's your traditional working class neighborhood watering hole that's well kept and nicely decorated. GFI has a good looking menu and decent tap beer selection. The burger and fries were awesome... Not quite on Henry's level, but it held its own. Plus, the food is really well-priced ($11.99 for a 1/2 lb burger with fries). The one knock on GFI was the service, which was not good. The bartenders/servers were friendly but were completely preoccupied BSing with the bar regulars... We were all but ignored other than to take our initial order (we prob would have gotten another couple of beers, but no one ever came back around again) - John Taffer would have had an absolute conniption. Throw the poor service out and GFI would be 4-5 stars.

The Friday we were there was one of them. I got the filet mignon and mashed potatoes & my husband got the ribeye and fries. We love steak and have eaten at some nice steak houses over the years and I have to say for a bar the food was pretty darn good! Steak was cooked well and seasoned well. I would definitely go back; would like to try their burgers. One complaint- not a lot of beers on tap and the service was slow. That's why I gave them 4 out of 5 stars.

We had a group of 6 people who were extremely excited to try this place, especially the steak. This review won't do it justice as it's hard to put into words how awkward and uncomfortable the staff made us feel. Long story short, there were 2 empty tables that we asked if we could push together and they said no because they were not next to one another (completely understandable). We then asked a small group at a table, who were done eating and just hanging out, if we could buy them a round of drinks and we'd swap tables so we'd be able to seat our group together. The people at the table were so kind and said, "yes, absolutely." The rude waitress and bartender quickly ran over, yelled at us, told us how wrong that was of us, and continued to berate us saying it's not okay to do that (even though the people at the table kept saying it wasn't a problem at all). Our party quickly went up to the bar to buy the table a round of drinks, as we decided it'd be best if we just left, and the bartender wouldn't allow us to buy the table a drink because they said they don't serve people like us (we weren't buying for us, we were buying for the kind people at the table). We ended up just giving the table cash to pay for their drinks and we left as we were not trying to cause a scene or any commotion. I honestly can't get over how outwardly mean and vocal the staff were to our group. We've never been treated that way before by any staff at any location. We went over to The 07 Pub and had the best time, with the kindest staff, and amazing food.

Once again, I found myself at this EPIC Dive Bar over the past week or so...While there are fancier…read moreplaces in Fort Wayne ( HINT: Say 'The Fort' so you do not sound like an out of towner), you are hard pressed to find anywhere else with nicer folks. (And I say that even before my credit cards went missing...) In any event, for those of you who follow important news, you know that this place, like that stent, has a a special place in my heart...it is where good things have happened, and continue to do so. I got into town the other day (Saturday) and stopped in to say 'Hello,' only to find out that they do not have any food specials on Weekends (Hence, the 4 stars this time, instead of 5- Hint- Hint!!). Nonetheless, I had a pretty decent burger with some pretty darn good fries (crinkle cut) that were both warm and plentiful. Of course, I had a 'diet soda' or two to wash it down as well. (Note: Relax, Latte Lady, ONLY kidding...I had - ahem- water). In any event, the food was ordered, the 'water' was cold, and I as then again treated to what REALLY makes this place great- the people. Within a few minutes, a lively conversation and debate started about all kinds of topics that make dive bar visits, binge drinking, and dropping acid with your parents memorable...it was just a GREAT time, and, whether for just a quick visit to pass some time or an end destination to have a long session of batshit fuckery, The Latch String is THE place to stop. I also want to make special mention of two of the nicest and most memorable characters around...Don and Barney (Picture submitted...) who are usually found after 4:00 PM like clockwork on the end of the bar along the east side wall...These guys are great...polite, welcoming, informative, and friendly...I should also note that they are usually pretty low key, but, in the picture, they were pretty excited because I had just shown them a picture of my girlfriend and told them that she was on her way over to show them her girls...Can you blame them??

I haven't been during the week, so can't speak to that experience. The one downside is that they seem a bit short-staffed. On busy nights, wait times for drinks and food can be long, and it definitely seems to overwhelm the team. That said, the staff does their best under the pressure. If you're going for karaoke or pizza, it's a great spot -- just don't expect super quick service on a crowded night.

This was my first time ordering from Chevvy's. I've driven by their strategically located building for years. I've seen the pizza sign and thought I've got to give it a try. So i did!! Finding the entrance to the parking lot is a challenge as you have to enter from the north side. The place appears to be small on the outside but feels rather large on the inside. The bar takes a prominent place when you walk in. The bar tending team was very friendly and helpful. Chevvy's has a decent sized menu of specialty 12, 14 and 16 inch pizzas. The prices seem like they might be on the plus side of average die a hand tossed-thin type pizza. We went with the Everything pizza on this visit. The pizza crust is on the plus side of thin crust but not quite as thick as a hand tossed. It was baked to a nice soft and moist bottom side. The top side crust browned and crisped up nicely. This thickness is somewhat unique for Fort Wayne. The crust didn't have any distinct seasoning flavor. The tomato sauce has a nice sweet tomato paste flavor. You won't find much of the flavor on the pizza except in areas where the sauce got pooled. You pick up the taste more on the edge of bare pizza crust where there aren't many toppings. I thought the sauce was so good that I would probably order it with extra sauce the next time to make sure the whole pizza was accented with this flavor. The Everything pizza had plenty of fresh toppings. The toppings tended to pile up into layers more toward the middle of the pizza. The meats had a nice bolder flavor. The tasty mozzarella was decently thick to hold all the topping together yet thin enough that it didn't have that beautiful stringy pull apart stretch. Is Chevvy's famous for their pizza? They could be more famous if people knew about their thin crust and tasty pizza flavors. I'm sure those that have had Chevvy's pizza are more likely to tell others about it! Give it a try if you have not had a famous Chevvy's pizza! While trying their famous pizza I decided to sample the wings. Chevvy's is definitely NOT a destination for wings. You can find their 8 medium-large wings for $15 offering on the appetizer menu. They only offer four flavors of wings. Do not a destination but not bad. The wing was perfectly cooked. All white inside that was very moist and tender. They are briefly fried such that only the ends of the rings had any crispiness. The order comes with medium to large sized wings. Chevvy's only offers hot, mild, BBQ and teriyaki sauces. I went with the teriyaki. The sauce was thin in consistency but did a nice job at sticking to the wing. They dipped the wings in sauce so there was plenty of flavor. While the teriyaki flavor was mild...it did have a distinct teriyaki appeal. The appetizer came with three celery stick and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressings. The blue cheese dressing was very thin and some small clumps of blue cheese crumbles mixed in. Not very appealing in my book. Overall...wings probably aren't Chevvy's claim to fame. Chevvy's isn't a destination for wings. However, if you are there, and you want some different that is on the menu...their wings aren't a bad choice.
