While I am slowly getting out and trying new restaurants since moving to Huntington, IN in June, I…read moreenjoyed another excellent dinner at Brick House Grill (BHG) in downtown Huntington. I tried the Louisiana Cajun Chicken Pasta this evening which featured Cajun grilled chicken breast over cavatappi pasta in a moderately spicy New Orleans style bell pepper and Parmesan cream sauce. The flavors were bold, creamy, and perfectly balanced. As always, the service was top notch. Cassi, my server at the bar, was personable, attentive, and made the evening even better with her friendly professionalism. Brick House Grill continues to impress with great food and warm hospitality. I highly recommend BHG for anyone who is looking for a consistently outstanding dining experience in Huntington.

My daughter recommended this place as she goes to Huntington College and she said the Brussel…read moresprouts are amazing. It's a tiny, cozy place. I ordered a side of the Brussels as an appetizer. They were good. But I've had better. I also ordered the tuna appetizer as my entree. Tuna was good, but I just felt the tostadas were overdressed and heavy. That's the only way I can describe it. My companion had a grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Said it was very good, not anything terrific. Overall, I may come back again before an HU soccer game and try something different. Service was great and efficient.

As a seafood lover, I was sold just based on the name alone The building itself is pretty cool. We were told it dates back to the 1880s and is the 2nd oldest building in Indiana behind some other one in Indianapolis. You can definitely feel the history when you walk in. The place is small, with only about 14 tables, and everything is packed in pretty tight, but that's part of what gives it character. The old bar immediately grabbed my attention and looked like it hadn't changed much in over a century We started with the Parmesan baked oysters, which were outstanding and surprisingly fresh for being in the Midwest The homemade clam chowder was loaded with clams and flavor. It was so good it didn't need anything added to it. We also ordered a couple of smoked Old Fashioneds that were a great way to start the night I wanted sea bass, but they were out, so I went with the walleye fish and chips. It's honestly hard for me to pass up fish and chips when they're on a menu, I'm glad I did. The fish was well-seasoned and on point My wife went with a seafood combo that included seafood au gratin, bay scallops, shrimp, crab, applewood bacon risotto, and baked in a lobster creamy sauce Being in Fort Wayne for just one night, this ended up being a great find. The food was excellent, the service was friendly (Shoutout Lindsay) and the whole place had a nostalgic feel that made the experience even better If you're passing through and in the mood for seafood or live locally, I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

We were incredibly disappointed by our experience at this much-loved restaurant. We've heard rave…read morereviews about it for years and finally booked a birthday reservation last night. It was a busy night for them and they were apparently short-staffed. We were seated promptly but then waited an hour for our drinks and appetizer, and then another hour for our meals to arrive. While we waited, other diners were complaining, and their waiter snapped back at them to "not be rude". He then complained about them to us! For such a fine and high-priced restaurant, the wait staff was unbelievably unprofessional. No one ever apologized to us for the absurdly long wait or offered to compensate us. At one point we considered just paying for our drinks and leaving, but we stuck it out. The food was good but not exceptional; the low stars reflect the lack of professionalism and overall poor dining experience.

The soup also tastes burn and found the clumped powder at the bottom. The fish and shrimp are completely tasteless. Saw other people reviewed. Not even salty, seasoning or taste anything at all. Bland. Same with fries. Only taste the cajun seasoning on top. I was hungry but lost my appetite from all the food. Most people order the steamed mixed cajun in a bag. They might have taste with all the mixed seasoning. Hopefully they can improve next time.

The Country Post in Huntington, IN is a local gem that captures the essence of homemade comfort food. We had the pleasure of indulging in their delightful offerings, including their house favorite, the breaded cheeseburger. It was like a taste of nostalgia, bringing back memories of delicious, homemade meals. The combination of the juicy burger patty and the perfectly breaded exterior was pure comfort on a bun. Phillip enjoyed a satisfying bacon cheeseburger that hit all the right notes. The Country Post embraces the essence of local, home-cooked comfort food, serving up dishes that make you feel like you're in the warmth of your own kitchen. If you're seeking a taste of comforting, homestyle goodness in Huntington, The Country Post is the place to be.

We went last night with my husband's cousin and had a delightful meal!! The owner is such a nice man and checked on us often to make sure everything was the way we wanted. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. The hawg wings are yummy, bbq sauce is perfect! I had the broasted chicken and my husband had the fried shrimp. Both of us were very pleased. Cole Slaw is to die for if you like cole slaw! I have already gone through the menu to mark what other things I want to try...including coming for breakfast!! I can't wait to go back! :) Thank you for a pleasant & relaxing atmosphere! See you soon!! read more

Big Eyed Fish on Wells Street - when you have a craving for Fish & Stroh style fish and tarter…read moresauce Yes, I know that I could go to Stroh to get this old time flavor. However, Big Eyed Fish is pretty good fish in its own right, local...and flavored like the taste I remember from the past. We visited the Big Eyed Fish location on Well's street. They have an express shop located on Huegenard Road and another dine in location at Leo Crossing. This location has been in service since 2003. It has a nice diner feel with super friendly service. You can find parking on the street or in the lot behind the store. The inside is rather large and works well for parties up to about 8 diners. There is a small bar and TV's if that is your thing. They also have a big and varied menu including breakfast items. Here is a run down of the food items: -Fried Fish: the white fish fillet is thin and fried with a thin breading. The fish is moist and tender. It will flake apart with a fork or by hand. The breading has a slight amount of seasoning and isn't very oily to taste. It has a taste similar to the Fish & Stroh style if you are familiar with that. The fillets are not very filling. For an extra $3...I went with the all you can eat option. Delicious fish! -Tarter Sauce: I love tarter sauce. In fact I might order fish to go with my tarter sauce - lol. This mayo based sauce is reasonably thick, somewhat sweet and has a hint of pickle flavoring. It's creamy and makes a perfect complement to the fried fish flavor. -Baked Beans: this side really surprised me. The bean is small and contained hamburger pieces. The sauce had a slight BBQ flavor but not enough to classify it as a BBQ baked bean dish. The meat flavor was a nice add to the smooth tomato spiced sauce. Delicious!! -Cole Slaw: I kind of use KFC as the standard for Cole Slaw. This is very similar. The slaw pieces are cut very small with only one kind of slaw. Seemingly no additives - just slaw. The sauce is mayo based, a bit more sweet along with a hint of vinegar. I loved this side too! -Hush Puppies: these balls are pretty small in diameter. The inside is very modista and sweet with that southern style corn bread taste. The outside is thicker, a bit oily to taste and has a mild corn bread taste/texture. These are probably some of the best hush puppies I've had in my southern raised life.
