The lemonade was very fresh. The store was really clean…read more Employees were fully immersed in providing service. I had to wait a couple minutes and they comped us a lemonade. The ribs tasted great but were not even close to being tender. The baked beans were above average! The pit master nachos were fabulous and heaped on a plate would serve two. The web page ordering procedure was a nightmare lowering my star This is my second visit and not my last!!

Ordered the Cobb salad and smoked turkey along with their "low country" tangy bbq sauce. The salad…read morewas... well... a salad. It was fine, but not memorable... but I'm not going to ding them for that, it's a salad. The smoked turkey was pretty good but not the best bbq and didn't quite taste like it was made with heart and soul like some of the best smoked turkey I've had. Like it was smoky but not quite enough or all through the meat. Then I looked online and saw it was a chain (I'm from out of state in a state without them) so that probably explains it. Bbq sauce was spicier than the description made it sound so if you get the low country beware that it is a little more than just tangy, but it was pretty good too.

Insanely good. Blew away my expectations. I got the 3 meat platter. It was enough to feed an army…read more I doubled up on the brisket. It was cooked to perfection. Excellent outer layer and very tender. Also had ribs on the platter. They were dynamite. Sides were beans and slaw. The sides are huge. This place is excellent and I'd highly recommend.

Decent BBQ joint on North end of town…read more.. Dropped by Lucille's for the first time on Friday for a work lunch with the crew... Been meaning/wanting to try for a while, but have never got around to it. Ok experience, but there's some areas of attention needed. Pros: Friendly/quick service, outstanding brisket, excellent bbq sauces (I particularly liked the vinegar and spicy sauces), and large portions. Cons: Over-priced, average at best sides, extremely smoky in dining room, and dirty/run down restaurant. Overall our experience was good, but the smoke in the dining room was a real problem that actually had my eyes burning/watering while we were eating (it literally looked like an AARP Club Catholic Church bingo event, it was that smoky inside the restaurant), the food is stupid expensive ($35 lunch, one person), and the sides just weren't good (bland coleslaw and broccoli salad). The restaurant also needs a facelift and desperate deep clean... It had that dirty, grimy, sticky feel on the floors and tables (presumably from all the smoke in the dining room). I still consider Shigs n' Pit to be the far and wide the best BBQ in town, but Lucille's has the potential to be really good if they can make some adjustments, improvements, and clean the place up.

Good size place from outside vs inside space. The waitresses…read moreare very friendly and seem to know apparent repeat customers by name and family. They have a good selection on a front and back laminated menu with various dishes from pizza to ribs, chicken and pork dishes. There are also vegan options such as Mac and cheese. For a barbecue place their prices are very reasonable with a daily special I noticed posted in the wall going into the bar part. My granddaughter used some app they are tied into where you can buy songs to play, that seemed popular with everyone. Our table was clean although I do t like being seated by the kitchen entrance when there were plenty of tables elsewhere to be seated. That's why the 4 star, I don't like the in and out of the staff and congregated talking by everyone by our table. I was concerned seeing an employee scratching at his nose in the hallway coming from the bar to the kitchen not stopping to wash his hands, maybe he did in the kitchen part. The food was good, ranges from sides, aka carte to different size platters with what looked like the entire menu on it! The food smells good, the wing sauce was abundant, dripping and delicious, the fish sandwich was very good. They also have take away which was doing a tremendous business while we were there. Located in a small strip mall there is a lot of parking, also handicapped, and easy access into the restaurant. The food and friendliness of the staff was a great experience.

Visiting places where I don't live, I always Yelp for reviews…read more I found this little carryout on the site and was really close, so I stopped by before hopping on the highway. There is no seating. Again, it's a teenie carryout with a drive-up window (not an actual drive-thru). I met the proprietor and his grandson. Both gentlemen were kind and friendly. I explained that I lived in another state and inquired about the menu. I learned that only a limited menu was available, and was offered to try both the turkey tips and the pork rib tips. They were good, but neither were smoked. I like smoked meats on the grill, and these seemed to be marinated in Italian dressing and baked. The meat didn't have a char taste. I decided on the pork with greens and potato salad. Again these items weren't as I am familiar with, as they didn't taste homemade with a depth of flavor. The meal was served with white bread. I would recommend folks giving Mr. Dunbar's cooking a try.

So we tried the spot because my fiancé wanted good barbecue that reminded him of Chicago. The…read morefather and son duo were extremely nice and welcoming and offered us free samples of the food. We really really love the sides, We had dirty rice, mac & cheese, collard greens, yams and beans. Now for the mains we had rib tips in mild sauce, they use a vinegary base which we were not biggest fans of but only because that's not how we are used to having them but it was nice to try something different. And I had the fish and chicken combo, I had perch as my choice of fish. It was my first time trying perch and I don't know if I liked it too much but I feel like it might've been over fried for my liking, it came with hot sauce which helped. It's worth giving a try for some Indiana BBQ, i'd be willing to come back and try some thing else!

We tried a variety of items here. We got the bbq salad and…read moresubbed pork for the chicken and tried the daily special of scooby snacks. Those would have been better with a sauce to dip them in. We also had the pulled pork sandwich, kids ribs, and kids Mac and cheese. Everything was served hot and fresh. You order at the counter and an employee brings your food to the table. It was quick and we received everything as we ordered it. We sat outside on the patio which was great. It was clean, had umbrellas, and is dog friendly. Overall good experience

Shigs in Pit (Maplecrest) - excellent choice for BBQ in Fort Wayne…read more Shigs is located north of St. Joe Center road on Maplecrest. It's parking lot is easy in-easy out and has a very large facility. Upon entering you order at the counter from a large menu posted on the wall. They will bring you your selections to the table or carry out counter. The Mad Anthony brewery has an attractive looking bar inside as well. The team here was very friendly and helpful. The facility is very clean, orderly and attractive. The menu is fairly large but perhaps difficult to understand since it is posted on the wall. Cost is fair and moderate. Here is a recap of our food choices: -Wings: predominant smokey flavor, fried and dipped in one of 8 sauces. The wing was nicely cooked - no pink insides. The skin of the wing was a bit cripsier than i would prefer. The Alabama White sauce is mayo based, slightly sweet with not much seasoning or spice. It made the wings nicely moist. The teriyaki sauce is bold, thicker and has a slight back end kick to them. -Cole Slaw: nice fresh and crisp larger slaw pieces, thin mayo base, sligtly sweet but a bit watery -Macaroni salad: thin mayo base that actually came off also a little watery, elbow noodles were cooked perfectly, side veggies had a nice crunch to them, sauce was mildly sweet -Chicken tenders: moist and tender, no real Smokey taste detected, seemed to come off a little dry and tough -Corn "spoon" bread: mild corn taste, bread was moist and sweet, nice blend of corn bread and corn casserole -Tomato & Cucumber salad: very fresh and tasty. Cool veggie and vinegar tastes

They don't deliver so we had a friend go pick it up. They decided to charge us more than they told us when we ordered because they chose to give us more mac and cheese than we ordered. They pretty much said to bad you have to pay extra or not get your food and we're pretty rude about it. Thankfully the person that picked up the food had extra cash on them. The food was ok but not spectacular. I now know about the Warsaw area and will never be back in North Webster again.

Big fan of Ragin Cajun!…read more It's always a good day when I am able to catch the truck downtown or at one of the many places it parks at around Fort Wayne. They typically have a line, which speaks to how great the food is! You are always greeted with a smile and they are able to get you your food in a jiffy. A few of my favorites from the menu include the catfish po'boy and the jambalaya. The food is always fresh and has great flavor. Not to mention they give you great portions and you won't be hungry after. Looking for a great food truck? Ragin Cajun is it!

ACME by Full Circle (east State Street) - returned to try the Legalize Marinara recipes after a…read morelong absence It's been a while since I'm been back to the ACME for pizza. The last time we did...ACME had partnered with Legalize Marinara to make pizzas for them. The menu looks like LM's recipes (see picture of menu). The pizza had a familiar taste. Though, the pizza I had was a bit different. Before I get to the pizza...let me say that Joslin did an incredible job serving us. She had great suggestions. She hustled the refills. She was personable and funny. Great representative for ACME!! Also...I had to try the smoked Cole slaw - it intrigued me! The fresh cabbage pieces were large and purple. They tended to be a bit tougher. The mayo sauce had a nice seasoning - possible dry rub. This created some kick and saltiness. The smoke flavor was evident but not overwhelming. Nice dish! We ordered a 16" ACME Deluxe thin crust pizza cut into large square pieces. I didn't know that you could get a thin crust and square pieces - so we tried it. Last time we got a hand tossed - different taste. The pizza crust was fairly thin and a bit crisp - but not crunchy. While the picture might suggest that it was slightly over cooked...it was actually okay. The crust was a fairly plain flour crust - no extra taste. The pizza sauce is really tasty. I liked the thicker consistency and bolder tomato flavor. No spicy after taste. Good Italian seasoning. The sauce did a nice job accenting the toppings. There were plenty of fresh toppings covered with a thinner bed of mozzarella. The meat taste wasn't very prevalent - maybe could have used more meat. Everything seemed to blend well. You do pick up a heavier salt taste. Cold Pizza Test - ACME's pizza was pretty good the next day. The crispier crust stayed crispy without being tough/chewy. The pizza sauce stepped forward - the tomato taste really started to come out. The toppings still blended well. The salty taste seemed to get stronger.

After all the local hoopla about this joint...our experience sucked. First and primary issue?…read moreService. This is what brought a 3.1 food to an 1 overall experience. We were greeted by a teenager with a major attitude. She shoved us toward a table and said you will sit here and then disappeared for 30 min. She's probably the niece of the owner or has a connection of some sort that's forcing her to work there because she looked pissed to be there. We did notice the rest of the waitresses were very nice. When we were ordering, my husband wanted the pork tenderloin, and the young lady asked if he wanted the lunch tenderloin (which was smaller) and immediately complained about people yelling at her because they didn't understand the difference between the two and went off. My poor man tried to be nice and said he wanted the larger one. It was so uncomfortable. Anyway, we ordered the fried mushrooms, obviously frozen. Indiana has many small excellent local places with FRESH fried mushrooms. Then followed some supbar smoked wings (although cooked decently) and my husband thought his pork tenderloin was 5/10. It was overall not great. Someone take effort to train your young staff!!! And I have dined at many places in Fort Wayne who have outstanding young staff...
