Once again, I found myself at this EPIC Dive Bar over the past week or so...While there are fancier…read moreplaces in Fort Wayne ( HINT: Say 'The Fort' so you do not sound like an out of towner), you are hard pressed to find anywhere else with nicer folks. (And I say that even before my credit cards went missing...) In any event, for those of you who follow important news, you know that this place, like that stent, has a a special place in my heart...it is where good things have happened, and continue to do so. I got into town the other day (Saturday) and stopped in to say 'Hello,' only to find out that they do not have any food specials on Weekends (Hence, the 4 stars this time, instead of 5- Hint- Hint!!). Nonetheless, I had a pretty decent burger with some pretty darn good fries (crinkle cut) that were both warm and plentiful. Of course, I had a 'diet soda' or two to wash it down as well. (Note: Relax, Latte Lady, ONLY kidding...I had - ahem- water). In any event, the food was ordered, the 'water' was cold, and I as then again treated to what REALLY makes this place great- the people. Within a few minutes, a lively conversation and debate started about all kinds of topics that make dive bar visits, binge drinking, and dropping acid with your parents memorable...it was just a GREAT time, and, whether for just a quick visit to pass some time or an end destination to have a long session of batshit fuckery, The Latch String is THE place to stop. I also want to make special mention of two of the nicest and most memorable characters around...Don and Barney (Picture submitted...) who are usually found after 4:00 PM like clockwork on the end of the bar along the east side wall...These guys are great...polite, welcoming, informative, and friendly...I should also note that they are usually pretty low key, but, in the picture, they were pretty excited because I had just shown them a picture of my girlfriend and told them that she was on her way over to show them her girls...Can you blame them??

However, the enticing aroma of hamburgers immediately caught my attention. The waitstaff and chef were exceptionally friendly. The $4 burgers were served hot, fresh, and delicious. I appreciated the chef's use of gloves and the open kitchen layout, which allowed me to observe my meal being prepared. The $10 picture of beer was refreshing and cold. Unfortunately, some patrons appeared to be intoxicated, and a dog was brought into the bar, obstructing the narrow walkway. The restrooms are in need of renovation, being extremely small. If Jon Taffer from Bar Rescue were to visit, he would likely be quite critical and throw a fit, lol

I…read morecame by late on a Monday night since I hadn't eaten dinner yet, and Henry's has lots to offer on the late-night menu. Perhaps there was a different crowd than on a weekend. It was not very busy, but it was obvious this is a locals bar from the way folks joked with bartenders. Although, there was a couple really drunk gals there and a server asked the bartender to cut them off, in that kind of joking but not joking way. The bartender didn't cut them off. I hope they weren't driving. The bar is beautiful with warm wood and a mirror behind the bar making the place feel bigger that it is, yet still a cozy dive. I ordered a raspberry lemon drop that was too sweet. The BBQ chicken flatbread I had for dinner came out looking like a cheese pizza; however, the BBQ chicken was under all the cheese, which seemed to work flavor wise, but it's a bit rich. So, probably best to share since a couple pieces is all you need.

They have a very short suite menu, but what I had was terrific I had a a salad with salmon on it and a lot of other veggies. It was terrific. The salmon was jerk, salmon, and the whole thing was a delicious repast. We had a appetizer of a couple bowls of their homemade chips. Unlike many places that don't salt them. These were salted just the right amount not too salty and I can't say anything bad about it. Our server was terrific and his name was Alex and the place is shaping up. I guess they just took it over from someplace else. The walls are a little bit bare needs a little more decoration and the ceiling is bare, but the chairs are very comfortable so it's an easy five star.

4D's Bar and Grill - has wings and pizza?…read more Why, yes, yes they do! 4D's has been in the Dupont and Lima Road area for years. I have never stopped in or ordered carry out until recently. I'm glad I did! On Wednesday's they have $0.50 wings. Otherwise you will find wings on their appetizer menu - 6 wings for $9, 12 wings for $15 or 18 wings for $22. My order had a mix of small to large wings. Therefore, I'd say, on average, you are buying a medium sized wings. 4D's has 14 different flavors for their wings. I didn't see a wing menu at 4D's bar. Their web site doesn't list the flavor choices. The nice gentleman on the phone asked me what I prefer and then listed off some choices - listing 14 would take a lot of time. I seem to recall him saying they had hot and mild buffalo sauce. I think he listed BBQ, spicy BBQ and honey BBQ as choices. I went with Teriyaki as usual. The wings were cooked to a solid white center. The inside was moist. It seemed to border on being over cooked...without actually being over cooked. These wings had some lovely grill marks. I believe they were also lightly fried as they had some crispy ends and somewhat crispy skins. Overall I liked the grilled-fried product. There was plenty of thicker teriyaki sauce on these wings without it pooling in the bottom. The sauce stuck nicely to the wing and to my fingers. It had a mild teriyaki ginger licking good flavor. Though I thought is was on the plus side if mild in terms of rich teriyaki flavors. This was more to my preference. 4D's added about six pieces of celery and a cup of blue cheese. The blue cheese sauce was thin with a few small clumps of blue cheese included. I didn't prefer this flavor, consistency or texture of the blue cheese sauce. So...I usually start by telling you if this place should be condidered a destination for wings. I'm not sure if 4D's is a destination or not. The wing prices say it should be a destination. Usually a broad selection of sauces says "I'm a destination". Though, I really don't know about their 14 sauces since I haven't seen the list. So, maybe 4D's should be a destination based on the 14 sauce choices. The wings were good - so it could be a destination. The dining area, from what I saw, in the front bar area, didn't seem like it would be a place where I could sit for an hour an eat wings. So, maybe not a destination. Is 4D a destination for wings? I don't know at this point. Bottom line...4D's needs more evaluation. I will try them again and let you know. Until then...you give them a try and share your opinion. 4D's only has four pizzas listed on their web site - 14" pizza, Meaty Lucious, Super Supreme and The Squealer. I can't tell you much about these pizzas other than what is obvious from the name. I didn't see a menu when I went inside the bar. I assume all pizzas are 14" pizzas. The 14" Pizza, assuming it is a one topping pizza, is listed for $14. The other three pizzas are listed as $20.00+. I'm not sure what the plus means. 4D's makes a thin crust pizza. I assume that is their only choice. The crust was soft and white in the middle. The edges were a little bit more crispy and brown. 4D's cuts the pizza into squares. The crust doesn't have any special seasonings or flavors. The Super Supreme pizza was piled pretty good with the normal supreme type toppings. The onion and peppers tasted fresh. The meats were mild in flavor and spice. The mushrooms were large. The pizza featured plenty of green olives that gave a bit of a salty taste. This pizza also featured a lot of banana peppers that gave it a more tart taste. I really can't tell you how the pizza sauce tastes. It was hard to detect underneath a heavy bed of mozzarella cheese. Even in the picture it is hard to spot the pizza sauce. Overall...it was a good thin crust pizza. Definitely worth a try if you live in the area. Cold Pizza Test - the next day I found the pizza to still be moist. The crust was still soft with the edges starting to get a bit more chewy. The toppings were also still soft to taste. The meats and cheese seemed to get bleached out by the salty green olives and tart banana pepper flavors. I wasn't as fond of those flavors while cold. The leftover pizza would be more enjoyable if it were reheated I'm thinking.

It was so loud on this night that we struggled to have dinner conversation. The fry flight was fun for the party to sample. The tots were nice and crisp and meaty. The sweet potato fries had a bold sweet potato taste but were disappointingly limp - first time they have been this way. The flat fries were uniquely thin and crispy. The cheese sauce was a unique blend of different cheeses that didn't taste like cheese. More of a smooth, mild and somewhat plain sauce. The ketchup had a nice bold tomato taste. The ranch dip was fairly unique with very faint ranch and oil taste. My wife loved the Southwest bowl. Very fresh and with lots of healthy add ins. The marinaded chicken was very moist and seasoned nicely. The guacamole was very tasty. The short rib beef stroganoff had an outstanding beef taste. The meat was moist and tender - easily pulled apart. The sauce was very light so that it let the natural beef juices dominate the taste. No heavy sour creme taste here. The noodle were perfectly cooked to a firm consistency.
