    In search of BBQ on the Southside of Fort Wayne and found Dunbar's BBq. As I drove up, I saw the smoker working cooking ribs to a slow perfection. I walked in and was greeted by the younger Dunbar taking orders and was very helpful on deciding what to eat. I chose the fried chicken wing dinner which comes with 2 sides, so I chose Mac n cheese and greens. As my order was cooking, I got a chance to speak to Mr. Dunbar out on the grill, to get some cooking knowledge. He mentioned all his food and sides are made from scratch with the old school ingredients. About 10 minutes later my order was ready. The wings were cooked with no breading, which doesn't make it greasy. Light on spice flavor on the wings, but good and cooked well. The sides are excellent, Mac n cheese creamy, pasta tender. Greens were cooked just right, the leaves were not over cooked, so the leave was very much present. Again not alot of spice flavor, but there was a smoke flavor which made it nice! Yams were on point, not canned yams, so the nutmeg and vanilla taste , just like Grandma used to make them. I will definitely return as this was a nice surprise and if you get a chance to meet the Father, Son duo please do

    Bomb! Mild and hot mixed turkey tips. Sauce is unbeatable!

He was very friendly, respectful of the home and a delight to deal with. The food was excellent! The mashed were real potatoes, smooth and creamy - just like they should be. The beef tenderloin was very tasty. The asparagus was excellent- a nice crisp with a slightly buttery/grilled flavor. The fettuccine was cooked perfectly and that chicken sauce that went over the noodles was creamy, slightly spiced with pepper and sprinkled with small shreds of chicken. We had several shrimp dishes. The coconut shrimp was moist with a nice and crispy outside. The coconut stayed in the batter. The grilled and garlic shrimp were a bit small but very tasty. Overall...Smiles More did an excellent job! I would definitely give them a try again!

I did not try the asparagus but people at our table said it was undercooked and needed seasoning as well. the pulled chicken was actually decent and the salad was ok too. overall was not impressed for a catering option, especially after finding out how much they charge per person.

    "I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Ceruti's Catering! From start to finish,…read morethey made everything so easy, but the real star was the food--it was absolutely incredible. We had the beef brisket and almond chicken, and our guests are still raving about how tender and perfectly cooked everything was. Even with a large crowd, the hot food stayed hot and the salads were crisp and fresh. We also opted for the queso, which was a massive hit, and the chocolate fountain for dessert was the perfect 'wow' factor. The staff was professional especially Dominic hatton, efficient, and so attentive to our needs. If you want delicious food that your guests will actually remember, I highly recommend booking them for your next event!"

    I really wanted to love this venue, but unfortunately, our wedding day experience was far from what…read morewas promised or expected. First, the air conditioning situation was absolutely unacceptable. It was nearly 100° outside with the heat index, and despite repeatedly asking staff to lower the temperature, nothing ever changed. As the bride, I was drenched in sweat in my wedding dress -- a dress I'd been dreaming about wearing all day -- and I ended up having to change out of it early because I genuinely felt like I was going to pass out. It was heartbreaking and not something any bride should have to go through. To make matters worse, the back door leading to the ceremony space had to be left open all day. If it closed, it would automatically lock, requiring someone to walk all the way around the building to reopen it. This only made the AC issue worse and left the space feeling stuffy and uncomfortable. Which had guest looking at the thermostat that read 76 all night. We also chose the "picnic package" for our catering, which included hamburgers and condiments. While the food tasted good, the condiments provided were only ketchup, mustard, and BBQ sauce. No pickles, onions, lettuce, or anything else you'd typically expect for a picnic-style burger bar. It felt really underwhelming and a bit misleading based on how it was described especially since we had already brought in our own desserts and cocktail snacks. I would've brought toppings if I knew they weren't included if I was told. That said, I do want to shout out the bartender -- she was absolutely lovely -- and the rest of the staff helping out were kind and polite throughout the event. Unfortunately, it just didn't make up for the other major issues. Lastly, the "groom's getting ready room" was not at all what we expected. It was essentially a dark storage closet with no lighting, barely big enough for two people. We weren't shown this space during our tour -- we were told it was "in use" -- but had we seen it, we would've made different plans. We paid a premium for this venue, and while there were some positives, the lack of transparency, climate control, and overall delivery made what should've been the best day of our lives feel unnecessarily stressful and uncomfortable.
