Trolley is consistently in the 4-5 star range. Had lunch today with our daughter who ordered their grilled shrimp (6 large crustaceans) with their spicy Diablo sauce (pictured). Came with a creamy rice pilaf. She added their great salad bar for a complete and filling lunch! Our server was Jenn C, and she could not have been better! Prompt, attentive, radiant smile, efficient, and added to the welcoming ambiance of Trolley. I had their French Onion soup which is some of the best in town. Brothy (not thickened), full of flavor, delicious. I always get it with no bread or croutons and it still arrives at the table hot and layered with melted Swiss. A fav! I also had the tuna sashimi appetizer (pictured) as my entree, which they present beautifully! All in all, a great place for lunch (or dinner) w/friends or loved ones! read more

Our experience was decent at best. To start, in a somewhat empty restaurant, we were seated adjacent to a table of four, when there were plenty of other open tables. The lights were brighter than they needed to be, and it was slightly noisy for a time of conversation and catch-up. The food was hit-or-miss. I ordered the ribeye, which was quite remarkable. Not a lot of mushrooms, but it still hit the spot. My wife ordered the crab cakes, and they were extremely underwhelming. Not only that, but the risotto was severely undercooked (they remade it, and it was still undercooked). It was not the type of dish you'd expect a steakhouse to fall short on. My in-laws ordered the salmon and walleye, which were both up to par. I'm told this place used to be a classic. I'm told this place has the best salad bar in the city, which I'm sure could be true. As an outsider looking in, I was not particularly convinced that this place carried any weight in its day, which is almost saddening. read more

Another great trip to the Trolley. The food, drinks and service are always excellent! The salad bar is one of the two best in Fort Wayne. My famous dish was outstanding. read more

My wife received a gift card for Christmas from a colleague at work so we decided last night that we were going to try this place out. In the last, I had always heard great things about it but lately, not so much. We were greeted by friendly hostesses who took us to a table with no wait on a Friday night. Our server was delightful and very sweet. We really enjoyed her personality. My wife got the sirloin dinner and I got the smaller prime rib. Her steak was pretty good and she enjoyed the salad bar. Would she pay 19 bucks for just the salad bar?!? No way, but as a side it was worth it. I got the lobster bisque instead of salad (upsell of $5) and it was good. Was it great? Probably not $5 worth but I have never tried it before but it didn't leave me wanting more. My prime rib was decent but didn't love my broccoli. Baked potato was pretty good! Was it worth the $87 bill? I don't think so. Thank goodness we had the gift card as it definitely wasn't that great. I'd go to Texas Roadhouse all day over this steakhouse. The feeling of the place was pretty laid back and comfortable but definitely not a high end steakhouse. All that being said, it was a good meal with good service. Amazing? No? OK? Sure. Will I be back? Not unless we get another gift card. I'd give this place a 3.5 if Yelp allowed me to, but a 3 is probably too low. read more

Had excellent service from Kiera. We had a group of six. We ordered an array of dishes and Kiera was polite at all times. We had to ask for the bread but that seems like a restaurant policy when observing other tables. I ended up ordering a Key Lime Martini, which tasted exactly like its namesake. The food seems a little expensive, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity of some of the food. read more

Always a great dinner. Love the salad bar. Had a fantastic experience with their Easter Brunch. Consistently high quality.

To start the restaurant was busy but I found it oddly quiet which was kinda of nice for conversation at our table. We sat near the pickup area. I enjoyed watching the expediter work with the cooks to make sure the food was getting plated and sent out in a timely manner. We had a sirloin and ribs off the savor menu. The ribs were very good and the potato was nice as well. 10/10 on that dish. The sirloin was cooked pretty close to how I ordered and was decently tender but it had no flavor. 5/10 on the sirloin. I had an old fashioned which was so so. Salad bar was honestly my favorite part of the experience. Lots of options with salad and toppings but also several chilled pasta, potato, and imitation crab salads. Dessert was pretty good as well. Our server was kinda quiet but nice. We came here to try it out with the savor Fort Wayne menu, still spend over $100 which is fine but I don't think I would come back for a full price night. This place was good but nothing blew away as great. Too many other great options in Fort Wayne right now. read more

To start off Our Server Jennifer was amazing. One of the best we ever had. Above and beyond awesome. Now for the rest. We made a reservation for our anniversary for 430. We were sat in the middle of the service windows, salad bar and restrooms. There were plenty more tables open. Asked if we can move somewhere else the answer was no. So I had a first hand look at the manager/ Expeditor. She would cough in her hands touch the plates then go in her pocket touch her phone then cough in her hands again and touch the plates then touch her pop bottle over and over again. Without once washing her hands or even using sanitizer. Being in the medical field that totally grossed me out. I was so grateful when our server grabbed our plates before she could touch them. My steak was very good. Cooked the way i like it Medium Rare. My husbands Almond crusted Walleye was over cooked but he said it was still good. Veg. very good not soggy. Again our server was amazing and she even gave us an ice-cream sundae for our Anniversary. I probley wouldn't go back for those prices but it wasn't horrible. read more

Had been looking forward to a nice meal w good service and ambiance and unfortunately the mark was missed. Service was terrible, no music on even after a few people from our table asked. Very disappointing and won't be back. read more

The service was horrible! Management was worst and unsupportive of our server! The female manager was non responsive to my complaint. Three of our meals were served ten minutes after the table was served. The Jumbalaya was horrible! Don't waste your money!!!!!!! I would recommend a huge NO to this restauran! read more

This place was very expensive. The steaks were of poor quality and very over cooked. Every side dish we got was stone cold. Service was ok, but the waiter left us alone without drinks for long periods of time. This was a birthday celebration and I would not take my family there again as we did not feel like this was a great place to celebrate. read more

This place is the worse and will not be back ! Salad bar needed some items refilled , I had to ask for them like the ranch dressing. While most employees standing around on their phones which is crazy !! I ordered the burger and it smelled and didn't taste good like bad meat . Now I know why it's a 3 star It should be negative 3 read more

I travel to Ft. Wayne for work pretty frequently. I've been to Trolley twice now, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I was a little dubious when I walked in because, let's be honest, the place is QUITE dated inside. Oof, I thought...but let's give it a try. Although it is dated, it is clean. The customer service has been very good. And the food is good. I got salmon both times, and it was cooked nearly perfectly both times. I'll return next time I'm in town! read more

Ordered hamburger medium well, hamburger came extremely raw. There was a long black hair in my french fries. Wont be back, food was bad.

Forgot to get a picture of the salad bar but it is delicious and there is a wide variety of toppings. I do wish they had red wine vinegar for dressing though. The bruschetta was some of the best I've had, would definitely recommend trying this appetizer. The French onion soup is OK, I've had better in Fort Wayne. I think it is missing some flavor. Service is good, our waitress was friendly and attentive. We were sat in the back, it was quiet and a good place to meet for dinner. Will eat here again for sure. read more

I gave the Trolley Bar 2 stars because our waitress was very kind and we had a large group. This was my second time eating here and I must say I'm disappointed. The brunch buffet had eggs that were over cooked and the grits had fish in them! This wasn't labeled on the buffet and our group had vegetarians and someone who is very allergic to fish. He had to use his epi pen in the bathroom because of eating the grits. This wasn't labeled on the buffet that it contained grits, but luckily he was ok. Wouldn't recommend the buffet unless you want subpar food that's over cooked and not labeled with detail. read more

The ribeye steak I had was not worth the money. It was burnt on the bottom. Salad bar was good. Lots of choices. Very dark atmosphere. Overall the image of being a high end restaurant is not the case. Really just kind on disappointing. You should also not have to stare at the cooks the entire time you're waiting for your food. Every cook was wearing a different color baseball hat. Not a good look. read more

Trolley is a nice location with a great Salad Bar! Their menu is limited, but has enough of a variety to make sure that all in your party are well-fed. Portions are great and the servers are amazing. They need to replace the carpet. The Large tear across the room makes the please appear unkempt. My last visit, I found a piece of twisted metal in my Tornedos (Steak Tips in gravy). I don't know if the Gravy or meat were from a can, but something was. Waitress was apologetic, and I see this happen on occasion. They did comp my entree and only charged for the salad bar (at full price). I will return, as I do like their food! read more

On our recent visit we did not have a good experience. While my husband had the Sunday buffet and was happy that was not my experience. I ordered off the menu and it took 3 attempts to receive the correct omelette. Our waitress was not easily found as she disappeared quite often. The restaurant has open concept so I did see the manager being advised of the situation. He did not come to our table to apologize for the situation. When he walked by our table I confirmed he was the manager. I explained the situation that he was aware of. He stated my omelette was given to the wrong table but didn't offer anything. I asked for compensation to which he offered 20% off the bill which I thanked him and accepted. Sadly to say I do not believe we will return which I am sad, As other waitresses I saw were ever attentive to their tables and customers. Possibly further training would be helpful. read more

Gabe, the server, was a star! The salad bar is fresh and has multiple options. The steak was cooked to perfection rare. The hand whipped butter and all the other details made tonight a special occasion. Wonderful all around and will be back. read more

We hadn't eaten at Ttolley in awhile and I'm not sure we will be back. Our server was very prompt upon our being seated at the table, which was good. I'm gluten free and our server provided me with a separate gluten free menu which was great! I ordered the lettuce wraps minus onions as my meal. When the lettuce wraps were delivered they had wontons on the plate. I asked the person delivering them and my server if they had been prepared gluten free. They both said, "oh my sure it is!" The server offered to double check which I appreciate. So the wontons were not gluten free and they look my plate away. My plate was returned with the wontons just scraped off of my plate. I asked my server if that's what was done and she said yes. I explained that there were crumbs from the wontons on the items still remaining on the plate. So she offered to have it remade. I gladly accepted and thanked her. 15 minutes later someone appears at the table with the gluten free lettuce wraps explaining that the sauce they use is not gluten free so it wouldn't include any sauce and they had prepared it with onions. I nicely told them that it wasn't supposed to have onions so I'd just like to cancel the order because everyone else at the table was almost finished with their meals. We stayed for awhile longer as people ordered more beverages. No member of management ever came to our table. Had I eaten the first plate or the first plate with wonton scraped off but with non-gluten free sauce I would've been very sick. So be warned and asked questions if you are gluten free. read more

Great little spot to have apps, cocktails and if your a salad bar person, this is your place! I had the Irish mule and Moscow mule, both very delicious. We ordered shrimp cocktail, buffalo chicken dip, bruschetta, ahi tuna & stuffed mushrooms. Everything was great except the buffalo chicken dip was SO SALTY! My favorite was the bruschetta! We also opted for the salad bar and there was a lot of great salad toppings, dressings etc and cold salads such as crab salad, potatoes salad, broccoli and many more. Service was amazing as well! read more

We tried the savor menu and another person in our party had the feature and we were very disappointed in the food for the price we paid. Also our waitress was not very attentive at all. The tables around us received better service. read more

I'd give it maybe 2.5 or 3 stars. The drinks and the lettuce wraps are good. The steaks are overpriced and not worth the money. If you are going to spend that kind of money at a restaurant you might as well go to cork or black canyon. The inside was pretty and has a good vibe. read more

Today (Valentine's day) was our first time at Trolley. We were very pleased with everything! As soon as we walked in, we were graciously greeted by the sweetest gentlemen. He sat us and our server, Britt, arrived quickly to get our drink and appetizer order. Once those came out, she took our food order, which didn't take long to arrive at all. The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing (and also very pretty - see the edible glitter?!), service was beyond spectacular, and the place was very clean and easy to navigate. I've only ever heard great things about Trolley, and now I understand why! We will definitely be back! I also want to note that Britt was an exceptional server! She was so sweet and personable! She took time to talk with us and didn't make us feel rushed like some places do when it's a "special day". The food could have been just good, at best, and her personality would have made up for that! She was really great! read more

I really do not understand the low ratings. This place is incredible! The atmosphere is gorgeous and the food is incredible!!!! I loved my Lobster Bisque ! My friends and I shared two appetizers; spinach dip and buffalo chicken dip. Then we all got martinis (because what else do ladies get on 1/2 of martini night)! I got this apple pie one which was a thick and creamy martini. Tasted like fireball and rumchata were in there. Then after I got a martini that was more of a tropical dream. Blanking on the name but it was incredible. The waitress we had was on top of keeping our waters filled and was kind! I never felt like we didn't have something we needed. She was on top of it with small plates too! The whole experience was amazing! read more

The reviews for Trolley Bar seem to be pretty inconsistent on Yelp, so this is my contribution from our visit last night. It was a Saturday evening in The Fort which means everyone and their Mother is at a restaurant.... The mask mandate has been lifted which means even more people were out My wife wanted a steak, but we didn't have reservations. We tried a different establishment on Dupont Rd to no avail. Walked into Trolley and were escorted to a high top table for two. The place was packed, but service was still good and keeping a good pace. We started with a chicken lettuce wrap appetizer which was tasty. The Old Fashion was good as well as my wife's "mule" It's nice to see salad bars available again. We opted for the filets and both were grilled well and I was digging the mashed potatoes. The reason for 4 stars: *No description of what is in The Mule drinks. When we asked the server, she said "I don't know this is my 2nd night"...ok, no problem, understandable, but no offer to go find out. *My fillet must have had blue cheese on it, the scraped off before it made it to the table...no hiding that flavor *Requested no mushrooms in the appetizer...1/2 the plate was mushrooms The total was $135 before trip, and the experience fell a little short for that amount. read more

The potato soup of the day was like a creamy spinach soup with potato chunks. Three people at the table tasted it and no one wanted to eat it. The halibut special was $60 for a 6x6 piece of fish with potatoes and salad bar. Get the famous fish for $30 and enjoy the dinner and have some take home. When the waitress asked if the soup was okay and I said no, she didn't ask if I wanted to switch it out, she said sorry and walked away. I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Food was delicious. We were in to celebrate my mom's 94 birthday, coming from across the country. Great choice

Went there for Sunday Brunch buffet we were some of the first to arrive thinking everything would be fresh and hot WRONG eggs cold as well as most other dishes SERIOUSLY. I complained to the lady our server she tried to make right but to no avail. Be aware that bloody marries are not free. it was so dark in there we couldn't see what was in the chaffing dishes, they had little signs that you still couldn't see. You would be better off ordering off the menu, but they would probably serve you off the buffet. SORRY FOLKS IT WAS BAD ALL THE WAY AROUND YOU WOULD THINK THAT AFTER DOING THIS FOR SO LONG THAT THEY WOULD HAVE OT TOGETHER BY NOW. read more

Good service, really nice salad bar. Very dark so can't judge the overall cleanliness. I got the feature chicken dish which was chicken encrusted with nuts and drizzled with honey. Pretty good. Subbed the risotto for rice pilaf. The risotto was odd. Almost like a rice pudding. Not awful, just not risotto. My husbands steak was overcooked and looked pretty thin. For the price there are better options in the Fort. read more

Update: Went here again last week. Last time my food came out cold and almost froze. This time I got the fish and chips and salad bar. Service lacked but other than that food was outstanding. Served hot and just fried. Huge pieces of fish and a large baked potato. For dessert we got the cheesecake. It was huge and def enough for 2 or more. We also got three old fashioned. They're always amazing. Perfect food for a bday dinner. read more

Unfortunately I do not have photos as this place has very dim if not poor lighting ambience even during the middle of the day when it's bright outside. Parking is ample as this is situated in a strip mall. Menu is classic American bar fare. Lots of choices. I had the fish and chips which was a decent portion but a bit salty in both fish And chips. I hear the salad bar is the winner here but I did not have that. Service was very nice, helpful and kind. Food was made quickly and cleaned off quickly too. Nothing stands out about the ambiance, food, location etc. it does seem like a reliable place to go for food in town. read more

We were here for lunch a couple of weeks ago. The walleye was SO good. I also had a cup of Lobster Bisque that tasted great, but at $7.99, it should be served HOT. There were 5 in our party and everyone loved the food, the service was great and the atmosphere is soo nice. We will be back, but next time I will request hot soup. That walleye though, very good! A bit pricey, but what isn't these days? read more
