Reese's pie
Amber M.

Found this place close to my hotel while on a business trip. Busy place for a Tuesday but decent service. Menu is rather diverse with BBQ Brisket, fried rice, fish, burgers, sandwiches and lots of cocktails. Food was just okay but I will definitely recommend the Reese's pie. Yum! Prices were a little high for some things - on par with other items. Restaurant was clean, very well designed and the bathroom was impressive. I definitely want to come back and try more in hopes of an even better experience.

Sourdough pretzel with beer cheese.

It seemed like a pretty quiet night at Summit Grill. I sat at the bar and order a glass of wine and an appetizer: this sourdough pretzels. The bartender was kind and polite and quick with the service. There were only about three or four tables with people, let them during the course of my time. A few other folks came and sat at the bar. I heard it a side salad with salmon and it came out to me pretty quickly. The flavor was delicious, the salmon, well cooked, and the apple vinaigrette dressing on the salad was delightful. The biggest challenge, was a table with a few children sitting at it. This is no fault of the restaurant, and really, not even the result of my four-star rating. This is merely a statement: if your children are misbehaving and screaming and banging things on the table while other people are trying to eat their dinner, then perhaps the best option is to remove the children from the restaurant. It's always surprising to me when parents are selfish and subject everyone else in the vicinity around them to the poor behavior of their children. As a parent myself, I would never do that to other people. When you go out to a nice restaurant, you want to relax and enjoy the time not listen to tantrums from a three year old. Even the bartender in the servers were frustrated with this table. Some people even walked out after sitting down when they realize that unbelievable noise is coming from one table. Ok, soapbox time is over. Support the summit grill kitchen.

Short Rib Manhattan
Blake B.

I had a fantastic experience at Summit Grill. I ordered the short rib Manhattan from the seasonal menu, and it was absolutely divine -- rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The brown sugar old fashioned was also made to perfection and paired wonderfully with the meal. The service was great, and the atmosphere was very nice -- upscale but still comfortable. It is definitely on the higher-end side price-wise, but you truly get what you pay for here. If you're looking for food and service that match the dollar amount you're spending, it's absolutely worth a visit. Very -family/large party- friendly

10/10 we love everything we've gotten when we come here. Cheese bites are one of our favorite apps too!

I've been reading a lot of Dr. Seuss to my grandson lately, so... This place, I find, is hard to categorize, A blend of charm that harkens to the past, For echoes of old Flanagan's arise, With woodwork left intact, a nod held fast. The walls recall a time of storied fare, And so you'd think the food would match the scene. But here, the plates lack flavor, void of care, A tasteless dish, devoid of what has been. The noise, too loud, the crowd a sports bar's throng, Where voices drown the meal in ceaseless din. In Fort Wayne's rise, this place feels out of song, A space unsure of where it should begin. While others soar, I fear this one may fade, With little new or bright to make the grade.

Looking for something different, or an alternative to tired chain restaurants? Try Summit Grill! Excellent cocktails, great food choices. Dining room is good for lunch meetings, girls dinners, family celebrations. There is also a large bar, with loads of TVs. It's a good combination of casual classy and high end sports bar. Our waiter was well-seasoned and very capable. Quick and efficient. Our water glasses were never empty. I had the southern fried chicken. Amazing. Super crisp but still juicy. I chose fries and mac&cheese for sides. The fries were excellent, while the mac&cheese was nothing special. It all paired extremely well with the Blueberrh Lemon Drop. I can't wait to go back.

Southern Fried Chicken

Was visiting my parents and after our event we were looking for a place that was open late in a Friday (a lot of restaurants close at 9-10pm in the area. This place wad open til 1am which was perfect. Food was pretty good, here's a breakdown of what we got: Apps: Texas Twinkies which were amazing. They are beef brisket egg rolls which were so good! Next up were the jumbo Onion Rings, and when they say jumbo, they mean it! These were huge, and the batter was seasoned so well with really good southwest dipping sauce. I wanted a second order. Last up were the wings (sweet chili were good but we weren't impressed with the BBQ). Entrees: Southern Fried Chicken with Mac & cheese and green beans. Fried chicken was overcooked and not seasoned at all. Seemed like they just battered it in plain flour and fired it. Mac & cheese was ok nothing special and green beans were seasoned so well! Ossian smoked pork chop was cooked to perfection and had an amazing glaze. The side of Brussels was perfect with this. Italian sausage pepper penne had really good flavor! Overall service was good (it wasn't too busy), food came out hot and fresh, and mostly everything was cooked and seasoned well (just need to work on the fired chicken). Lots of parking and it was nice chill vibe good for a night out with family/friends or date!

I came to Summit Grill Kitchen & Cocktails with a group of coworkers for an event. We were all attending a full day of fire training, half of the time we would be here for class training and the other at a local fire station for a live burn. Summit Grill has an event area which is large for a big group of people and is very comfortable. That said it has two tvs, but one could not project the powerpoints in them, leaving the entire room to have to only see from one television. My group was sitting in the side of the non-working tv, which made it difficult. We ordered the restaurant food for lunch, and I ordered fried chicken and fries. The fries were soggy, the fried chicken lacked seasoning and was overcooked. It was an enjoyable class, the room was comfortable but ultimately there were things that need improvement.

French onion soup

Used to come here before it was Summit Grill. They have done a great job with renovations. It is clean, bright, and welcoming now! The outdoor patio is a great place to sit both in the summer and winter with heaters. I definitely have my favorite dishes here, including the French onion soup and their pizza! The wedge salad was very fresh and their ranch is delicious. Portion sizes are fairly large for price point. Service is spotty but food makes up for it.

We went at 5 pm on a weeknight and were the only guests outside of one other person. The service…read morewas wonderful. She made great recommendations and helped us decide based on our time constraints. She was attentive and gave us a lot of information about the food, live music, DJ and art for sale on all the walls. We weren't super hungry, so we tried the flatbread - sooo good. I will be back because the whole menu, including the drinks, sound wonderful. They offered zero spirit, GL and other substitutions if needed which is nice. The atmosphere has a moody, darker hang out vibe to it. I loved it and can't wait to bring some friends and family back! She recommended reservations on the weekends, especially on "First Fridays" as that's when they do events and an art crawl on Broadway when the weather is nice. We parked on the street in front of the building so I'm not sure if there is a parking lot. They do have outdoor seating as well in the front of the building. I remember when this location was a food co-op waaaaaaay back in the day. They did a great job transforming it into a relaxing bar and restaurant. We will go back and I highly recommend you check it out!

We were looking for a non-chain place for an early dinner and decided to give this place a try…read more When we arrived around 4 pm, there were a few people at the bar but we were the only ones at a table. We ordered the fried avocado which was served with pickled onions and a spicy dip - very good and the bonus was a happy hour discount. Hubby had the Cheddar Smash burger with fries as his side choice (other options are onion petals or a side salad). Catsup was complimentary but there was a charge for the garlic aioli. Good but nothing stand out. I had the Brie and Berry grilled cheese without the prosciutto. My choice of side was the onion petals. Again, tasty but not standout. Ahlana served us quickly and with a smile, checking in several times to see if we were enjoying our meal. It was kind of dark inside (adding to the atmosphere no doubt) and there is a collection of eclectic art work. We were not fans of the music but we are old! There is outside seating but road noise may take away enjoyment of dining here. Enjoyable meal.
