    Cheeseburger
    Charissa H.

    Been here many times, and it's probably the best restaurant Fort Wayne has to offer. The food is usually good. Service was very good this time. Sometimes it ranges from okay to great. Ambiance is typical, nothing terribly unique. Buttermilk Drop Biscuits - $10 - Best biscuits I've ever had. The outside was crispy and the inside perfectly fluffy. They are very big biscuits. The blueberry jam was delicious and the butter was nicely whipped. This is a must have. 5/5 stars. Cheeseburger - $23 - Also best burger you'll ever have. The smash patties have a lot of maillard reaction, and the homemade boursin cheese is to die for. We substituted the chips for duck fat fries, but for me, this was disappointing. The fries weren't crispy. They were plentiful, just not the right texture. I remember getting the fries before and it was cooked better. Burger is a 5/5 stars must try, the fries were like a 2/5 at best. Campechano Tacos - $18 - The flavor of the tacos is spot on, and it's a little oily, which I like. The problem is that there needs to be a salsa. The menu states "salsa matcha", which googling that tells me it's like a chili oil but mexican style. It's not enough to keep the tacos from eating a bit dry. The only relief was from some pineapple chunks. It needs a normal salsa to stop it from eating so dry. 4/5 stars. Strawberry Pretzel Cheesecake - $14 - Fantastic cheesecake. The cheesecake had good flavor and consistency. The strawberries were good. The pretzel crust was interesting, but I liked it. $14 is a bit steep. Maybe $10 and I'd be ok with the price, but all the desserts on the menu are a bit expensive here. But whatever, you'll be happy with the dessert. 5/5 stars. House Old Fashion - $13 - Husband said he loved it. They "leveled up" from last time. He thinks they have one of the best old fashion drinks. 5/5 stars.

    Amazing and inventive chicken breast entree with delicious carrots and creamy thyme sauce.

    This restaurant is a gem. The food and service were excellent. The restaurant website makes a big point about how welcoming the restaurant is, and it is true. I was treated very warmly and genuinely so. The restaurant also was creative and inventive with its food, decor, and small touches. I scoped out the downtown restaurants as a visitor to Fort Wayne and think this must be one of the best restaurants. I am so glad that I found it and had the Tolon experience.

    We were passing through Fort Wayne and thought we would try this place based on Yelp reviews. Walking into Tolon. It was a nice atmosphere. You could definitely dress up and make it a nice night out or be more relaxed feel comfortable. The parking is a little tricky but it is downtown. Loved the recommendations of our waiter and how he described the food helped us make good decisions. We started out with the Tomatoes and also the Pork Belly. The tomatoes were fresh and light. But the pork belly was so so yummy. Loved the taste of it. My husband got the ribeye steak and it was cooked to perfection. I got the scallops. They were by far the best scallops I have had. Cooked perfectly and the sauce and additions to this meal were great also. They complimented it really good. We had the Chocolate cake to finish. And although it was good. I would have rather had some more of the scallops. The service was top notch and I would definitely come back here.

    Enjoyed visit to Tolon. Rabbit pot pie was unique and tasty. Tomato appetizer nice and fresh. Fries decent, could be crispier. Atmosphere great. Parking not the best but okay. Service fine.

    Smoked Sazerac

    Love this place and the vibe. Recommended a cocktail for me that I loved. Smoked savers with Hamer 10 bourbon so smooth and good. Food was excellent and service was top-notch.

    Jerk Pork Chop is a must have

    Awesome food. Awesome service. Great drinks. Craft and a Hell if a selection. Knowledge staff. Chef at this restaurant is out of this world. The pork chop is hands down the best I've ever had. It's a bone in beast.

    Deviled Eggs
    C G.

    Wow! Had a STELLAR experience at Tolon from the moment we stepped inside. Fantastic service, incredible food and a completely solid vibe across the board. No idea if the crispy pork belly with cornbread waffle is a menu staple, but we'd travel across the country to have it again. That said? Every. Single. Dish. Was phenomenal. Our only regret was not making room for dessert.

    Audrey B.

    We loved this place & would have stayed longer to drink if we didn't have tickets to a show. Everything was great. We had to order two deviled egg appetizers because it was so good. Best pork I've had in a long time!

    Perfect Whiskey Sour $16

    I was attracted to this restaurant based on the high reviews. Then, at another local restaurant in town, our server recommended this place for their food and cocktails. We went here our 3rd night in town, and thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The Tolon Whiskey sour was perfectly prepared and went down so smoothly, I had two (most unusual for me). My wife enjoyed her rye whiskey cocktail, the Lady & Chef. Lyndsey, our server was engaging, personable and professional in her taking care of us. And, the food was excellent. There were many choices on the diverse menu from which to make our final selection. We shared a grilled shrimp dish for a starter which was a great start to the dining portion of our evening ($22). My wife enjoyed her grilled chicken over roasted cabbage ($34), and my bucatini pasta with bison meat ($38) was tremendously enjoyed. All exquisitely presented. We were too well sated to have dessert, yet left most contented. A great choice and would eagerly return.

    Hands down one of the best restaurants in the state. We've been a couple of times and both times it's been exemplary in every regard.

The Beer Garden is a nice place to hang out while you wait. Though the seats are all wood and low to the ground. The Philly Steak and cheese was piled high with tender and moist beef. Not a lot of seasoning to the meat. The au jus provided some enhanced beef flavoring. The bun was relatively soft while maintaining a toughness that made it nice to dip without falling apart. I thought the sandwich would come with more peppers and ooze with cheese, but it did not. The Mac & cheese was just kinda there. It didn't do much to ramp up the tastes. The noodles were very soft - almost squishy. There was a mild amount of sauce to the noodles. I would prefer more...enough that you would want to dip the bread in the leftover sauce. The cheddar cheese that laid on top didn't stick to the noddles...it just peaked off. My wife loved her Burrito Americana sandwich. Lots of moist chicken and fresh fillings. Overall there are plenty of simple and diverse things on this menu! The Deck had plenty of help to move people along. Though they didn't push you out. It was nice to just enjoy the food, company, nature and the dinning experience. The Deck is a Fort Wayne icon if you have not been there!l

This was a large pizza. More than I could eat in one sitting. The crust is thin except on the outer edges. The wood fired process makes the outer crust crispy - in some spots very crispy. The bottom of the pizza was still soft and nicely baked and lightly coated with corn meal. The crust has a buttery garlic flavor which was delicious. The quantity of toppings was just right. The vegetables had a slight crisp and tasty fresh. The meats had good flavors. No strong Italian flavors. I liked the larger and thicker chunks of sausage. The pizza sauce was kind of hidden. It was hard to detect as it wasn't very plentiful. Seemingly it is slightly sweet with a mild tomato taste. Cold Pizza Test - the crust stayed moist with a slight crunch. The flavor of the toppings seemed to blend even more with time and coldness. The corn meal base flavor seemed to become even more prominent. Bubba's cold Deluxe pizza had an enjoyable taste! The side salad was nice. The greens were fresh with a limited number of side vegetables. I accepted the onion straws on top of the salad. While the onion straws had a nice taste...the number of crunchy items dominated the salad. I thought I was eating more straws than lettuce. The team here works hard. The shift manager is on the ball and keeps things moving. She is very professional and welcoming. Myranda was our waitress. She hustled and came back to check on us frequently.

The restaurant is definitely a sports bar. Large TVs line every wall. The decor is Americana. While it's loud when it's full, it just adds to the energy of the place. My husband and I both ordered the Shotgun Shrimp Po' Boy. He had Fire Fries and I had the loaded tots. The Po' Boy was loaded with shrimp and the Shotgun sauce is delicious! Hubbys Fire Fries had quite a kick, but so good! And my loaded tots were delicious! I highly recommend you get yourselves to Bubbas 33.
