I used to love Mad Anthony but the last couple visits have been the same. This particular visit has left a memorable experience but not a positive one. We went to go celebrate my husband's birthday and our server had too many tables because the service wasn't the best. She was okay but for their prices we shouldn't be waiting to get refills for a while. We received 3 of our 4 meals an hour after ordering. 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. read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant is what you would expect of a pub type spot; comfortable. Their service was pretty good; not terrible, not astounding. I had the Mac & cheese & dill pickle fries for a quick lunch. The Mac & cheese was not very good to me; a bit flavorless overall. The dill pickle fries were good. If I was to come back i think I'd try a pizza or the wings, those looked really delicious. read more

First time visiting Mad Anthony's! The food was amazing! Our waitress was sweet and attentive. My Peach Wheat beer was so yummy! We will be back! read more

Really enjoyed the stout they had on tap. I used to stop in here some twenty years ago and my giro dish was still on the menu. They have a jambalaya which is pretty good. Back in the day I was sweating after the second bite. Todays version wasn't so spicy. Which it was. It can with a large salad and a toasted garlic roll. Enjoyed my visit. read more

We had a great experience! Had their brews at local restaurants and other establishments, but never at their restaurant/brewery. The inside was spacious, open and clean. Our server was very attentive and got our food to us quickly! The Mosaic Moon Double IPA was Smooth, full of flavor and refreshing!! The apps were good too, however the Scooby Snacks were a little too seasoned. The pretzels and cheese were good and got eaten in record time. The kids got cheese quesadillas and they cleaned their plates. We ordered wings, which were DELICIOUS! My wife ordered the grilled chicken club, and it was huge! Overall, we will definitely be back. Sunday night was very chill, would like to come back when things are a little more happening. But, we got in and out pretty quickly and the food was fantastic! read more

In town for work and thought this might be a nice place to check out. I really enjoy the atmosphere of this brewpub. Reminds me of how I met your mother vibes. I got a raspberry seltzer and it's my all time favorite I have ever gotten! Then the Brew Club sandwich hit the spot. The scooby snacks were good but would not get again. I will for sure be back! read more

Yep - you should stop in if you are visiting Ft Wayne. Nice bar area. Staff is super friendly. Let's get down to what you really want to know - there wasn't a beer in the flight that I didn't like. The Ruby Raspberry Wheat - for those who like sours or lighter beers - this is for you. I'm not one that generally likes stouts - but the flavor on this one was good. As for the seasonal - Jonesing for Java - wow! Beer AND coffee - sounds like a good Brunch go-to if you ask me. As for the food - bring your appetite. I mean - check out the size of the pretzels! It's a meal in itself and oh the beer cheese with it - can you say - comfort food? The Santa Fe salad salad is a full plate - and then some. Chicken had good flavor and the dressing was complementary. Bonus - they have 4 packs and 6 packs of beer to go. read more

The service is always great. The bar, which is where we sit, is clean, and there's lots of interesting things to look at. The food is excellent! Our favorite thing is the Scooby snacks, but everything is very good. The beer they brew is fantastic and they also make great mixed drinks! Definitely a local gem! read more

My husband and I stopped at Mad Anthony Brewing Company recently for lunch and to try their beer.. We sat at the bar and were greeted right away by the bartender, Anna. We sampled a couple of draft beers, which were really delicious, but decided to split the Ruby Rasberry Wheat since we had more breweries to try and a wedding to attend later in the day. We enjoyed the fruit flavor of the wheat beer and would definitely recommend it. We were hungry from our drive to Fort Wayne from the Indy area so we ordered The Politician, which is a deep-dish pizza with about everything on it. Ham, pepperoni, sausage, olives and more. It came out hot and we really enjoyed it. We ordered the medium for $19 and we did not have any leftovers so it was perfect for the two of us. The location is spacious and they have seating for families as well. read more

We ordered sides and were charged for a whole appetizer the add to much of everything and don't use manners they just grab and spill never coming here again read more

I wish this establishment was just better. I love the food, beer and atmosphere but the service is less than par and they nickel and dime you for everything. Let's start with service. It's slow. Every time I've gone I've waited and waited for someone to greet me. Even though they walk by my a bunch it is like we're invisible. Then you place a drink order again suoer slow. Appetizer depends on how busy and understaffed the kitchen is so it's a guess on how long that will take. And don't get me wrong it's been like this since before Covid. Want refills or more drinks. Forget about. I usually order two at a time because I know I won't get another one. In my opinion if you're not a regular or mug member you don't matter at the bar. I Always patient but when I am hungry I get antsy. Lol. Decor is dated as well as the menu but I do recommend their fresh made to order pig skin appetizers. Omg it's so amazing. Comes with bbq sauce and has a great bbq season in them. They're so fresh they come out popping to your table. I can eat those just as meal. They do have some great menu items that can only come from here. I go cause it's local owned and food is one of a kind and the beer of course. So go try it out and support local. read more

Kind service. Wi-Fi is trash. Food cost is way more than I expected. Frozen food laundered as restaurant fresh. Come for the bar and the ambience not the food. read more

I have not been here for two years due to previous service/food.... I can now say that they have totally changed things around here! New floor, new ceiling, new menus. My blackened white fish was FABULOUS! Hubby's burger was an 8. We will come back more often now. Also, this will sound weird,... but... wine glass was comfortable to hold, and did not have a tiny opening at the top. Decent pour. Really enjoyed this visit. Tables are vacant next to us. Totally recommend coming here!! read more

The reason Mad Anthony gets a five star review is because of their bartender. The bartender took great care of my fiancé and I. When went into the back of the restaurant and were shocked by what happened. We waited in a booth because it said "seat yourself" on a sign at the front. We went to sit down and after 5 minutes a server brought us menus. No one came to check on us after that and we sat there for over 10 minutes. Finally we gave up and went to sit at the bar. The beer was fantastic, our pretzels were good and the Mac and cheese were delicious. read more

I really enjoy the atmosphere at Mad Anthony! You can find the restaurant located on the intersection of Taylor and Broadway, across the street from George's International Market. They recently renovated the interior and it looks really good. The space is more open and feels much bigger. Children are welcome at the restaurant. There is plenty of seating with lots of tables and booths along the walls. There is also a large bar rail if you prefer to just grab a drink! Unfortunately, service is always lacking. The staff is friendly but they appear to be short staffed and seem hurried all the time. I understand being busy, but they are particularly slow. The house brews are always great and I recently tried a few new ones including a raspberry wheat ale and a stout. Both were tasty! The food is just A-OK in my opinion. Scooby snacks are down right delicious, so you must try those! The burger I ordered seemed overdone and lacked flavor. I will continue to return because I love the atmosphere and beer! read more

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! Excellent beer selection and most of them are really good. Very eclectic old building. Sarah was our server this last time and she was awesome. This place makes me miss Fort Wayne. Their Scooby Snacks are awesome. Good pizza (far from the beat in town, but good), fantastic sandwiches. If you can't tell by now, I am a fan. read more

Stopped here while in town for work. The beer is great, but the food was Applebee's quality at best. The Cajun chicken fettuccine was clearly jarred sauce with reheated frozen broccoli (it was even cube shaped). It was gummy and flavorless. However, the beer was a win. I had the sampler to see which I liked best then took a 6-pack of the auburn lager back to my hotel. I'd recommend stopping here for a drink and appetizer instead of dinner. read more

I don't leave my house for various reasons, so my experience is based on the food delivered. This is my favorite restaurant. It's like they read my mind and made me a restaurant just for me. The dill pickle fries and ranch, I could just make that my dinner for the night. The mushroom and swiss cheeseburger (pink) is my fav burger. This is where my experience got wild. Their pizza. My hubs was raving about their politician pizza so I tried a slice. Freshness galore!! Even the dough crust... y'all keep that dough recipe on lockdown. Wow! So, growing up in the south I obviously had to try their jambalaya pizza. I will never have another pizza again. This is the pizza of all pizzas! I have no idea how they got huge fresh shrimp in the middle of the country, but they did! All the spices... now if they made a yellow curry pizza I'd have to switch favorites but YAS! Everything from the fries to the Epic Holy Jambalaya Pizza is made fresh, and I can tell the chef loves what he does. I truly love this restaurant. read more

The parking lot was deceiving, I thought we would have a long wait for a table but we seated ourselves immediately. Our server was Chloe (?) and she was very prompt with service. The burgers, brisket sandwich, and pickle fries are excellent! Highly recommend trying their craft sodas. read more

This review was written by my wife. Wing Quest - Week 5: I didn't know Mad Anthony Brewing Company on Broadway in Ft. Wayne offered chicken wings until today, and I am happy to pass this information on to those of you who'd been in the dark as well. Mad Anthony's wings come in orders of 5 ct., 10 ct. or 20 ct. pricing out at $1.60 per wing and can be lavishly coated in Buffalo, BBQ, Korean BBQ, Sweet Thai Chili, Sticky Orange Ginger, Garlic Parmesan, or Hot Honey sauce. Now, I've gotta tell you, we've had some big wings, medium wings, and jumbo wings. But these wings are apparently from chickens who adhere to a healthy workout regimen because the meat is the most dense we've encountered! They are of a decent size - not jumbo but not small either. But they must weigh a half time more than another wing of their size so it doesn't take a lot to fill one beyond their comfort zone. The 4 sauces we sampled had superb flavor but none would be too spicy for timid taste buds. The Sticky Orange Ginger is a bouquet of sweet ginger but I couldn't detect much orange flavor. Nevertheless, it compliments chicken well and lives up to its "sticky" reputation. Sweet Thai Chili is quite aromatic and flavorful with a bit of mild warmth. Honey lovers who like a hint of heat will be enthralled with the Hot Honey sauce. The Korean BBQ has the most pungent ginger/soy combination with the after effect of pleasant heat that lingers on the palate for only a few moments. Be aware that the density of the birds' muscles in these wings can make the meat pull away from the bone with a bit of resistance. FYI: Full bar is available. This building allows for only one unisex restroom. Seasonal menu features and outdoor dining are offered. read more

A super wide variety of food options can be found at this spot near downtown Ft. Wayne. They have everything from pizza to baked Mac and cheese to Philly cheesesteaks, etc. Pretty much anything you can imagine, the menu was thick! Loved the plain baked Mac and Cheese I ordered. It was hot, creamy and plentiful! My friend got it with chicken and she loved her too. We sat outside and the service wasn't super quick but our waitress was very nice. All in all, not a bad place for lunch or dinner! read more

The food was very good. The pretzels were warm and the queso dipping sauce was delicious. We waited for an acceptable time for food. The only thing I would want would be more communication from the server. read more

We left. Paid for our drinks and appetizers and ran out of there fast. Bad bad experience and won't be back. Hope Electric Works doesn't bring them organic business for families to burn their money like we did. read more

Mad Anthony is nestled in the old Muchie Emporium building on the historic Broadway corridor. It is right across from George's International and next to El Amish. Once you get inside the place is way bigger than you would expect. Booths, tables, and a decently sized bar rail and bar area. There is also an outdoor space - Score!!! What I have noticed that really sets Mad Anthony apart is the service and people. Every time I have visited, I have had an awesome server! I can't say this for very many places. Every time they help with the menu, answer questions about all their different Mad brews and beers. I have tried a few things on the menu - all being good. Never super fancy or overly WOW'd but it's good. I can't complain. The un-wraps are almost like a flatbread. I tried the jambalaya one and it was super tasty. I enjoyed the thin crust and didn't feel like I was going to explode from being too hungry. The shrimp wasn't amazing and kinda on the thin side - but I wasn't expecting seafood restaurant fare. I have tried a few of the apps and they are pretty standard. Get the nachos. They make em with ranch. On the beer end - the amber is my favorite. I also love their stout on nitro. They offer a variety of different styles and some great seasonals. Including a tart cherry beer that I tried last week - not sure if it is on tap yet since I only tried a sample - it was the bomb. Overall - Mad Anthony is a fun neighborhood spot and definitely worth a stop while downtown Fort Wayne! read more

Beer is good -the food is a 50/50 y'all could improve -but I guess you found a niche and decided to exploit it -

Food and service are consistently superb! They have several vegetarian options, lots of beers on tap and the vibe is open and airy.

Went here for our first time for a family birthday. The service was friendly and good. The food was very good. the vegan in our party had sweet potato tacos and two of us had the mac and cheese, one with chicken, one with pork. Another had a Reuben. and another had a burger. All were happy with their choices. There was no one else in the area we were seated in, but we did see another party who entered near the time we arrived. But not busy at all. We look forward to going there again in the future. It was a bit pricey, but not so much we would not return. read more

We were looking for a good burger spot and this place seemed to have a few options so we gave it a try. The place is huge, but was pretty empty. We opted to sit at the bar for faster service, but the overall vibe of the place is super laid back, not sure if it's different at night. We both got the Mad Mad burger. It was pretty solid, no complaints there (took a while to get it and was starving, so I don't have a pic for ya). I ordered mine without cheese and it came with it. Luckily I scrapped it off and all was well bc we didn't have time to wait on a new one. I paid the $2 upgrade and got Scooby Snacks, which are potato wedges. Not sure what's with the fancy name, but they aren't fancy. Buffalo Wild Wings has better wedges and there isn't an up charge for them. Apparently they come with a tzatziki sauce with a funny name. When I asked what it came with she told me the name and then rambled off the ingredients which included ranch ketchup and she said a few other things. I thought she picked up that I was in on the fancy sauce and was offering other options so I said ranch. When we got our bill there was a .50 charge for ranch. Not cool. I wouldn't have said ranch if I didn't think she was offering it to me. I also tried a taste of the Raspberry Wheat since the reviews were good. I'm glad I didn't buy a full glass. The first taste is raspberry the rest tasted like bud light. Overall the burger was solid, service was ok, but we won't venture back for a second chance. read more

First off, Fried crawfish...YUM! Second, BEER! OK, so craft beers have kind of been my thing since about 2010. I love different hoppy selections and they do have some great choices. However, there wasn't enough that I wanted to try to warrant a flight. That was kind of disappointing when I go to a local brewery I would expect a lot of choices in this regard. My fiancee DID see a lot of choices that sparked her interest and was overall happy with each beer she picked. This was the first time she tried crawfish and found it equally as delicious as I did. It is lightly fried and dusted with the perfect seasoning making it both crunchy and delicious. There is a nice atmosphere and the menu is full of choices. The service was better than fair, we didn't have any complaints and have added Mad Anthony's to our rotation of places to go. Solid 3 Stars read more

I moved away from Fort Wayne when I was 17, but I really love checking out the new (to me) local spots that open up whenever I go back for a visit. I have to be honest, we literally stopped in here for one beer because our time was running out and we had to drop off part of our group. We sat at the bar and chatted our way through one pint as we do. We didn't order any food, though we could smell all sorts of fun smells as food was being served. We sat at the bar, with our backs to the rest of the restaurant. So we really didn't seem much, except for what was reflected in the bar mirror. That said, the beer was served ice cold and with a smile. The place was packed and every table was filled with friends talking and laughing and enjoying each other's company. Definitely is a place where lots of Fort Wayne folks like to hang out, and that makes me happy. read more

So we weren't sure if we should go in because we had just done some winter hiking and we still had our snow pants in and kinda liked like heathens but we went in and sat at the bar. The bartender was slender with long dark hair and couldn't have been nicer. She answered our questions about the beers and made some great recommendations. Jill had the double IPA which she enjoyed and said wasn't too hoppy and I had the pineapple beer which was amazing. I wanted to take some home but they don't bottle or can it. I asked her if there was anything on the menu that was "change your religion good" because we had reservations someplace else and she recommended the Chicharróns and they were incredible. They were sat down literally right out of the fryer and they were still popping. The bartender asked if we liked things spicy and when we said yes she gave us some limes and hot sauce. For something so basic they were amazing. We'll definitely be back. read more
