Service: A+ : we were welcomed, well taken care of and thanked as we left Food: A : quintessential breakfast diner food. I had the number 1 which was 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. Lots of toast choices, I got white. Super tasty, thigh the bacon was not crispy. I ate it anyway haha Ambiance: A : again, a typical diner. Not fancy. Counter services tables and booths. The kitchen is literally right there. Food served quickly, you can see the cooks. A friendly bunch! Free parking in the back, off Wells. Enter from the side door. read more

Klemm's Kafe - This is their... #1: Two Eggs; Bacon; Rye Toast; and American Home Fries with added Grilled Peppers & American Cheese!!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Needed a quick breakfast before getting back on the road. This place looked authentic. Real diner food. Ordered a breakfast sandwich, turkey sausage with American cheese on an English muffin. Really, really good breakfast food. Decent diner coffee. Used DoorDash to order ahead and it was ready quickly. Super friendly service at pickup. Plenty of parking. Very happy with the choice. One thing I didn't like is that the place is pretty small and it was steamy hot when I stopped by. Literally fogged up windows. (No points off for that from me. It's what you would expect from a vintage small diner. But I'm glad I ordered takeout. And if you have any concerns about ventilation, you should probably do the same.) read more

Went there twice in two weeks. Small out of the way diner with maybe 28 seats. Diners are also neighbors and will strike up a conversation with you. Great people and fun time. Food was very good, quick and fast both for breakfast and lunch. The breaded tenderloin especially was THICK and juicy, not pounded flat like a pizza. Yum! Highly recommend this place on the Wells corridor in downtown Fort Wayne. read more

We were in town for a bowling tournament. Looked for breakfast spots and found this one. When we got there they were packed but it moved quickly. We had to wait a minute because there was five of us. We were seated and they waited on us right away. Everyone was so nice. Food came out quick and everything was great!! No wonder this is a hot spot!! Everything had great flavor and the portions were big. Definitely get your moneys worth. If we are ever in town again we will be back!! read more

The food is fantastic, whether it's breakfast, or lunch. Their breakfasts are excellent, they cook eggs perfectly, and their sandwiches and burgers are awesome. The service is always quick and friendly, even when it's busy, and it usually is. It's a diner, and it's kept clean. read more

Outstanding service. If you're visiting, this is a local must checkout spot for a great breakfast and coffee. The waitress was excellent. Highly recommended for a 6 am breakfast. read more

Love this place! Not a ton of parking or seating, but worth it. Great service! You know this place is legit because it seems like a place with many repeat customers. The garbage plate is one of the main dishes. Basically, it's a skillet with potatoes, eggs, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, and sausage.... All covered in gravy. Very filling, but great for a cold day. read more

It's a mom & pop diner for sure. I had breakfast. The #1. 2 eggs, potato's, meat (I had ham) and toast. Coffee& water. I did add onions to m my potatoes. 75 cent up charge. Total bill $11.70 + tip. It was worth it. Atmosphere was most enjoyable for me. I highly recommend Klemm's Kafe on 1429 N Wells st. read more

Yum!!!!!!!!! We went for breakfast. The food was amazing. The staff was amazing. It's like being at home and your mom fixing you food and waiting on you. We were traveling but if we're back... without a doubt we'd go again. read more

Always a favorite if you can get a table. Highly recommended. Have spent many mornings here.

Solid breakfast place! We were in the city for a wedding and I yelped breakfast on Saturday morning. Ended up here. Parking was a little tight, but it definitely had character. The place was hopping. Standard breakfast fare. If I lived in Fort Wayne I'd definitely go back. If you're in town, give it a try. It is not fancy at all, but good breakfast! read more

An adorable hole in the wall restaurant that is popular with the locals. The staff are friendly and the service is fast. I got the croissant sandwich with bacon, cheese, and egg. The inside of the sandwich was great and the bacon was flavorful. My issue was with the croissant - it tasted like a cheap, Pillsbury crescent roll. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Klemm's!!!! They advertise themselves as the best breakfast in town, and based on the meal i had, the argument is very solid. It is a cozy old school throwback that runs very efficiently. We were greeted with a "Hello, friend!" by our server. Coffee arrived almost instantaneously, and the food was out quick. There are several menu combinations and options...literally something for everyone. I ordered the "Garbage" plate which comes with your choice of sausage or chorizo, but I asked for ham instead. You can also scramble in tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Come with a side of toast. Let me just say that the American Fries are legit! You can watch them bring fried on the grill, and they are real potatoes--not the frozen hash browns typical of other breakfast establishments. It was an incredibly tasty dish! My coffee cup never ran dry until I wasready to leave. The service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere of this place was just very neat. Five stars isn't enough to do this place justice...it needs a minimum of 8! Believe the reviews on here, do yourself a favor, and treat yourself to an excellent breakfast at Klemm's! read more

Sometimes a little whole in the wall is the best thing. Breakfast before a photo shoot at Ball Mansion. Service was good. Place was super busy. Eggs cooked just the way I like over med no runny yolk. Bacon was great. Potatoes were just ok. read more

Cool, old school, diner atmosphere. Very limited seating so be warned on that note. Ordered the garbage plate with gravy on the side. Good but nothing to write home about. Ordered the raisin toast grilled not toasted... it was solid. read more

Classic diner feel with extremely nice staff. My husband and I stopped to eat here for a quick breakfast, we sat down and got our order going, the wait was less than 10 minutes. It was packed in here for sure but that's what you get for good classic breakfasts. Even though we sat at the "worst table in the house", I had a good experience all around. We will be back! read more

I stopped in for a quick breakfast before driving back to Indy. I was craving biscuits and gravy, and it was one of the best b&g I've ever had. The gravy was so tasty. I also enjoyed the old diner feel, as I sat at the counter. read more

This is a working class diner and there is nothing pretentious about it whatsoever. If you're bothered by some cracked vinyl tile and some weathered fixtures, just skip this place and leave it to the rest of us. Our waitress was a class act and on point. She keeps the drinks full and the updates coming on our breakfast. Our food was hot and perfectly seasoned. We will definitely be stopping at this little gem again. Thank you Klem's for keeping it real! read more

Wow, if you can fit in the parking lot your winning. The entry is tight. There is a big line of stools and a bench on the other wall with chairs. It's intimate. The food is real fresh cooked . The star of the show is the Garbage Potatoes. They are legit good. Pepsi as there drink so even better. Real good place. Worth the little tight Wells area. read more

Definitely a run down dive. Super busynfor good reason. Worlds best sausage gravy. Also, despite appearances, very clean.

I love a homey divey type diner. Staff is really friendly and helpful. It's a tight squeeze as far as seating goes but I think that adds to the vibe and the food was really good. Think small local diner read more

Simply put, Klemm's is the type of diner that gives you hope that the world is going to be okay. In an era of "Farm-to-Table" bourgeois b.s., Klemm's Kafe cuts through the noise, and will continue to for years to come. There's no need to pander to fleeting culinary trends or keep up with the rat race of "Best-of" lists. Classic, affordable, well-made food that invites in folks from all walks of life. While eating our breakfast, we saw families ride in on bikes, elderly couples reading the paper, construction workers taking a break from their morning shifts, and college students nursing hangovers in the warm embrace of eggs, bacon, potatoes, and hot coffee. Do they have gluten-free options? Nope. Do they have hip pour-over coffee? Nope. Do they have delicate, boundary-pushing culinary feats? No need. This is Food-to-Table dining at it's essence. And that's all you need in the confusing haze of a morning in America, 2020. read more

Top notch top notch top notch. First time here and I can kick myself for not going sooner. Everything was phenomenal. There's a small parking lot oFf the street and a side door And front door to enter thru. It's very small. Galley style space with a full view of the kitchen. It's super cool. There are tables and bar stools. We chose the stools and were super happy with it. Our service was top notch She was friendly repeated our order back to us. Accommodated our request and refilled our drinks quickly. We orderd the oatmea and it came with raisens brown sugar milk and toast. It was Verrazano hot and not sticky. Very fresh. I also ordered the garbage plate and subbed out bell pepper for jalapeño and Tom mayors for mushrooms and it didn't disappoint. It was huge!! It also cAme with toast. I added hot sauce on top too. It gave it a great kick along with those jalapeños. The food came out in less than 5' and we got to see them make it right there. It was so fun. Food portions are large and the prices are great. Def coming back. Loved loved this place. read more

By far the best breakfast in town always fast and always tasty. If you want a garbage plate this place is the ticket

There is nothing like a hole in the wall, diner breakfast! You can find this gem off historic Wells street near downtown. The interior is nothing special. It is small, but cozy! There is a counter with barstools and then a few tables to snag a seat. The staff was friendly and very attentive. They move people in and out quick, but not in a hurry so they utilize the small space they have! Our waitress was very sweet and took great care of us! The menu is over exhausting, but they do all the classics well! We grabbed coffee, which is a must in the morning. I decided to order the garbage place. Eggs, peppers, onions, and potatoes all smothered with sausage gravy. It was fabulous and a hearty portion! I will definitely be coming back to Klemm's. If you haven't already, check this place out! read more
