    Margarita Flatbread Pizza!  Beautiful and delicious!
    T B.

    Great experience through the drive thru today! They were efficient and the food came out looking beautiful (see pic)!! I ordered the Margarita Flatbread Pizza and it was delicious!!

    Broken door

    Recently I was at this this Panera and went to the men's bathroom. It is absolutely disgusting. The sink, toilet, and floor are filthy. Furthermore, the front door of the restaurant has been broken for a long time. They keep hiding it with a display sign. Please fix this Panera, do better!

    Decided to try Panera's new coffee subscription for the first time. This location was pretty busy! I sat inside and was able to find a socially distanced table. For the hour that I was there, I did not see any employees wiping down tables even though one had water spilled on it and another had some napkins. Also, there was an unattended laptop on a table the whole time I was there so I thought that was strange. So even though there are signs posted everywhere that they are disinfecting and sanitizing everything often, I'm not sure how often that actually is.

    Found plastic in my onion soup. Thought it was a large piece of onion but luckily did not eat it before inspecting it.

    Found object in soup that should not be there... turned out to be a piece of plastic.

    Floor was sticky and dirty. With the amount of staff that were present, I would expect that the bathrooms would be better kept.

    Rude service. No prices listed anywhere. Unkept bathroom, sticky /dirty floors. The food was acceptable but the prices are inflated for what you get! Panera is now off our list of restaurants we will patronize.

    Rapid pick up cubbies. Haven't seen these before

    It's a Panera. But it's got an updated style than most I've visited. The quickie pick up area is cool and they even have a monitor that tells you what order is up/ waiting. That's pretty cool. Loved that they had mango unsweet tea--not sure if that's seasonal, or something special here, but big fan. Thanks!

    Exceptional customer service! Across the counter they see people, not just customers. Nice experience, I'll be back.

    The Manager Mike has very poor customer service skills. I will not place an order at this restaurant again

    Having eaten at the Chicago Giordano's many times, this is the first time we've ever tried the Ft…read moreWayne location. Why?!? No clue! We were greeted warmly, asked for a booth and were seated promptly. Ordered beverages and each tried a side salad: one the house w/shaved fennel, the other the starter Italian salad (oh my, both so good!). Loving extra thin crust, we ordered their newer Chicago Tavern Style (different from their tradition thin crust). CRAVE-ABLE! We ordered the Pepperoni Chicago Classic (pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, onions) and added sausage and green olives to it. I kid you not, the BEST pizza we've had in this area for a very long time! Their extra thin crust is made on premises (not premade elsewhere as so many do), and comes in 12, 14, and 16 inch sizes. Highly recommend!

    Giradano's (Dupont Road) - first visit after a LONG time away…read more.. It's been six years since I frequented Giradano's on Dupont. I love deep dish pizza. Though I'm not a fan of waiting 45+ minutes for it to bake. And, I've not found value in an expensive Giradano's deep pizza. Hence, we haven't been back. However, on this evening, we wanted pizza and a nice outdoor patio. Giradano's has a nice, comfortable, attractive and covered outdoor patio. Relaxing and cool. Nice street view of Dupont road. The facility is large and seats a LOT of people. It's a great place for large groups! The team here hustled and helped each other out. Our waiter Michael did an outstanding job - very friendly, professional and paced the dinner & refills. We started with "The Best" bruschetta. We loved the smooth and creamy mozzarella cheese. You could swear that it was just made fresh. The tomatoes were very fresh tasting. The balsamic sauce was a bit thicker and bolder in taste - very good! The outside of the bread was firm but not crunchy. The inside was soft and easily cut with a fork. This isn't the "best" bruschetta I've ever had. It was very good though! On this visit we went with The Special pizza, 14 inch, with the traditional thin crust for $27.75 - yes, still expensive. And, it took waiter said it would take 45+ minutes to cook - same as a deep dish pizza. The pizza is very attractive looking. Love the rich red pizza sauce look and covering of mozzarella cheese. The crust has a pretty golden brown color and the toppings peak through the cheese! The crust used for the thin crust is the same as the deep dish. I found the crust to taste similar to a biscuit - not my taste. It was firm in texture when cooked but not crispy - liked that! The pizza sauce has a rich and thick red appearance. It is sweet to taste but doesn't come off thick. I found it to be a little bit watery - not my expectation. The watery consistency reduced the tomato and Italian seasoning flavors. The moist sauce somewhat accented the biscuit crust and topping flavors. I just thought it could have been much better if it were thicker in consistency. The green peppers, onions and mushrooms were sautéed. This gives them a bit more flavor and helped them blend with the cheese nicely. The Special pizza has sausage whereas the Chicago Classic has pepperoni. I was really hoping for a spicy and bold sausage flavor. What I got was a very mild meat taste. I was disappointed with the amount of sausage on the pizza as well - especially since it was the only meat. Overall we loved the patio and the relaxing atmosphere. The bruschetta was very good. The thin crust pizza was good and pricey. The team on this night was excellent!

    First time trying Louisiana's Hot Chicken. This location is in a strip mall on the north side of…read moreDupont road. It's a bit hard to get in and out of. The store was clean and orderly. The counter person was kind and professional. I found the food to be okay. The fries had a nice rub that gave it flavor. Unfortunately the fries were cold-ish by time we got them home. Therefore they had a tougher starch taste to go with the mild Cajun rub flavor. We had the BBQ and hot sauced nuggets. I thought the nuggets were a bit tough though they were thoroughly cooked. There was a nice thick breading that was soft with a mild crunch. The BBQ sauce was sweet and had a traditional BBQ flavor. The hot sauce was typical buffalo sauce that was mild in spice.

    Food: tried the #3 (slider, tender, fries) and #1 (slider with loaded fries). Chicken was fried to…read moreperfection: crispy, juicy, and boldly seasoned. "Hot" and "scorching hot" both hit the mark without killing the flavor. The slider had a creamy slaw, crunchy pickles, and soft brioche. Fries were crispy and dunked in that yummy dipping sauce. Service: friendly staff. Call ahead for pickup unless you like waiting. Pick up is the way to go! Ambiance: very low key with limited seating. More grab-and-go than dine-in. Overall...this is the best hot chicken sandwich in town. I'll be back to try the rest. Merci beaucoup, Louisiana Hot Chicken!

It has a fun atmosphere while still being perfect for a nice dinner or date night. One of my personal favorites is the steak and eggs, and I love that you can get it during both brunch AND lunch! There are so many great choices on the menu, though, and everything we've tried has been delicious. And you HAVE to try the carrot cake. It is GINORMOUS and absolutely delicious! Definitely big enough to share--or eat some there and take the rest home for later, which is usually the better plan. We really love this place and have never been disappointed. Great food, great drinks, great service, and just an all-around great Fort Wayne restaurant. Definitely one of our favorites and a place we highly recommend!

The restaurant had a wonderfully lively atmosphere, yet it never felt too loud or overwhelming. Our server, Caity, was fantastic. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and her hospitality made our evening very special. EVERYTHING she suggested was perfection. We had and enjoyed their signature Crab Cakes, Sea Bass, and Beignets. If drinking alcohol try the marvelous Old Fashioned, and if not drinking alcohol try the refreshing Lemon Meringue. Caity made our night unforgettable. 1,000 stars all the way! We will definitely be back.
