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

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.

Black Dog Pub (Covington Rd, Fort Wayne) - community bar with good food and charm…read more First time visiting the Black Dog Pub. I've avoided trying them because I'd heard they were always busy and had long wait times. On this occasion we had no wait even though they were really busy. I'm really glad we gave the Black Dog Pub a try. Black Dog is located in a strip mall at the Coventry Plaza. Parking can be deceiving - if the front lot is full then park out back. There is a small outdoor eating area which you will encounter as you go inside. The Pub has an inviting but small bar located right at the entrance. The restaurant will only seat about 50 dinners inside. The four person table is very small. Not much room for 4 water glasses, 4 drinks, 1 appetizer dish and four entrees - actually painfully small. On this night the outside temp was 90 degrees. The kitchen wouldn't make pizzas, calzones or grill wings when it is this hot (safety reasons). The team here was very friendly and helpful. They really hustled, kept the refills coming and served us well!! The menu is fairly large - salads, burgers, pizza, sausage rolls/calzones, sandwiches, subs and wraps. Something for everyone. All items seemed reasonably priced...and the ones we tried were delicious! Here is a run down of the food items we ordered: -Onion Rings: Black Dog says these are the "Best in Town". I'd say they were really good and worth a try! They start with a thick piece of onion and hand batter it with a very thick coating. Not too oily. Not much added flavor in the breading. Just an outstanding onion ring! -Side House salad: nice sized salad with a variety of side vegetables and cheese. Everything was fresh and tasty. -Cole Slaw: "Our signature Cole Slaw" better be good! The slaw has medium sized cabbage and carrot pieces bathed in a very light mayo sauce. The dish is slightly sweet with a little added seasoning. It comes off refreshing and cool yo taste. I really liked this signature dish. -Sweet Chili Chicken wrap: my wife had the wrap. The chicken was moist and tender. The char broiling gives it an added flavor coupled with a very mild sweet chili sauce. No strong after taste kick. She really liked the delicious wrap. -8 piece jumbo wings: on the appetizer section of the menu for $11.50. In the 8 order...there were probably more large to medium sized wings than jumbo wings. My teriyaki wings were lightly fried such that the skins only had a small amount of crisp. The inside was thoroughly cooked - no pink. Unfortunately, they might have been a little over cooked as they were solid white and a little tough/dry. The teriyaki sauce was thinner in consistency. They dipped the wing in a healthy amount of sauce. Much of it pooled in the bottom of the basket. It had a decently dark and bold teriyaki flavor with no spicy after kick.

I have been here once for lunch and once for dinner. A little slow but the food was great both…read moretimes.

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 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.

This was my first time ordering from Chevvy's. I've driven by their strategically located building for years. I've seen the pizza sign and thought I've got to give it a try. So i did!! Finding the entrance to the parking lot is a challenge as you have to enter from the north side. The place appears to be small on the outside but feels rather large on the inside. The bar takes a prominent place when you walk in. The bar tending team was very friendly and helpful. Chevvy's has a decent sized menu of specialty 12, 14 and 16 inch pizzas. The prices seem like they might be on the plus side of average die a hand tossed-thin type pizza. We went with the Everything pizza on this visit. The pizza crust is on the plus side of thin crust but not quite as thick as a hand tossed. It was baked to a nice soft and moist bottom side. The top side crust browned and crisped up nicely. This thickness is somewhat unique for Fort Wayne. The crust didn't have any distinct seasoning flavor. The tomato sauce has a nice sweet tomato paste flavor. You won't find much of the flavor on the pizza except in areas where the sauce got pooled. You pick up the taste more on the edge of bare pizza crust where there aren't many toppings. I thought the sauce was so good that I would probably order it with extra sauce the next time to make sure the whole pizza was accented with this flavor. The Everything pizza had plenty of fresh toppings. The toppings tended to pile up into layers more toward the middle of the pizza. The meats had a nice bolder flavor. The tasty mozzarella was decently thick to hold all the topping together yet thin enough that it didn't have that beautiful stringy pull apart stretch. Is Chevvy's famous for their pizza? They could be more famous if people knew about their thin crust and tasty pizza flavors. I'm sure those that have had Chevvy's pizza are more likely to tell others about it! Give it a try if you have not had a famous Chevvy's pizza! While trying their famous pizza I decided to sample the wings. Chevvy's is definitely NOT a destination for wings. You can find their 8 medium-large wings for $15 offering on the appetizer menu. They only offer four flavors of wings. Do not a destination but not bad. The wing was perfectly cooked. All white inside that was very moist and tender. They are briefly fried such that only the ends of the rings had any crispiness. The order comes with medium to large sized wings. Chevvy's only offers hot, mild, BBQ and teriyaki sauces. I went with the teriyaki. The sauce was thin in consistency but did a nice job at sticking to the wing. They dipped the wings in sauce so there was plenty of flavor. While the teriyaki flavor was mild...it did have a distinct teriyaki appeal. The appetizer came with three celery stick and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressings. The blue cheese dressing was very thin and some small clumps of blue cheese crumbles mixed in. Not very appealing in my book. Overall...wings probably aren't Chevvy's claim to fame. Chevvy's isn't a destination for wings. However, if you are there, and you want some different that is on the menu...their wings aren't a bad choice.
