I ordered a pizza and I knew it takes 30 minutes but my entire family was done eating and I asked the server if it was almost done. She said the cooks didn't know. I'm going to guess it was never rang in. Because it was pushing 1.5 hrs and it wasn't close to being done? They were steady but I wouldn't say busy. They had plenty of staff on but our server had a lot of tables. We left and she took the pizza off and apologized but I don't think that's enough when one person leaves and doesn't get dinner. If the kitchen was behind, if the pizzas were taking longer, if the service wasn't going to be lacking "just be honest at the beginning". Honestly was truly disappointing and not a good visit.

I've been to USM several times and realized I have not done a review…read more.. USM is such a cool concept and has so much potential, but it's just never busy... It definitely has that big city market feel, but I just don't know if it's gonna work for FW? It's a well decorated place with eclectic vibes and a few nice shops/vendors. The problem imo has been that the vendors turn over so fast and never seem to make it... Whether it's overly expensive rent, not enough foot traffic, or it being on the edge of the sketchy part of town, I suspect USM has an uphill battle to really "make it" - Sure hope the place succeeds because it's got a ton of potential. If visiting, recommend the lil Thai vendor or Johnny Ox Pizza... Two of the better places at USM.

This place is amazing. We visited on a Friday evening and tried to visit as many of the vendors as…read morewe could. First, we got kids meals at Buyamba Sandwich Company, located in the west hall portion of the market. Kids meals are either a turkey and cheese sandwich or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, plus chips, fruit snacks and a Capri Sun. Pretty much everything that a child could want for a meal, and my kids were more than satisfied. Next, we got a couple of drinks at The Charlie Horse, one of the bars. They have Sun King beer on tap, but I think that was the only local beer. It's difficult for me to pass up Korean food when I see it, so I decided my meal would be bibimbap from Seoul Garden. I got my bibimbap with beef, a lot of gochujang with a fried egg on top. The vegetables were cooked but still crunchy, and everything was great. We also got a burrito from Pikoso, and that was great, too. I don't have much to say about it because I didn't get to taste it, but I was told it was tasty. Lastly, we got scoops of ice cream at Local Apple Cart, which is a little stand that makes its ice cream with locally grown fruit. I got a scoop of vanilla and the blueberry ice cream, which was super purple and vibrant. A couple of things to note: There's one pizza joint in here (Johnny Ox Pizzeria) and they only sell pizza by the slice during lunch, and full pizzas during dinner time. That was a bummer because we really wanted a slice, but we were foiled. The pizzas are huge, too. Most of the merchants in the east hall were closed, which was a bummer. These included the fresh food market, a seafood and meat market, and an Amish deli and bakery. I was kind of surprised that they weren't open on a busy Friday, but so it goes. When we visited, there was a trivia game going on, which was neat. There is so much seating in this food hall. We sat upstairs, where we could get a good view of the bustling happenings down below. There are tables, but also chairs and a few couches. The lighting is nice and mellow, too, but the noise can get overwhelming because the hall is very tall and the sound carries. Plus, there was music playing, so it was pretty loud in there. At the entrance, be sure to look around you -- you'll see some really cool murals on the walls.

Having moved to the Fort Wayne area just a few months ago one of the difficult things my wife and I have go through is finding a good place to enjoy a meal. Luckily we ran across the Dash In one evening while poking around town and this little place has quickly become a favorite. The grilled cheese sandwiches are very good and the soup is adequate. I say adequate because the tomato soup has been a bit of a disappointment to my wife. All in all though this is always on our list for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

I love this place. It's been around for a while and is helping bolster the downtown area with food, beverages, and a great place to hang out. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it is amazing. Pretty good service most of the time, unless it's super busy. I had one experience where a server didn't show up for like 10 minutes so I asked the bartender to help me. He was great and made up for the mixup. Overall, a great place to drink, eat, have coffee, and look at the cool art on the wall. read more

Once seated, a kind server brought me water without asking. She later remembered the slice of lemon I requested for it, too. When my biscuits n' gravy with scrambled eggs were brought, I was in awe. They were the fluffiest biscuits I had seen in a long time... and coming from a southern-born girl, that's a huge compliment! The biscuits were also really good and soft and a nice temperature. The sausage gravy tasted good and was the perfect temperature. I wish it had more sausage crumbles in it, but I was still impressed. I found myself saying "mmm" a few times after my first bite of gravy and biscuit. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was North Carolina-worthy gravy or biscuits, but they were pretty good! The eggs were more fried than scrambled, but they tasted good enough. They actually reminded me of homemade eggs, so that was nice. Overall, I only arrived back at work one minute late, which I don't blame on Willie's. They served me quickly and made sure I was full of good food before I headed back into the real world.
