Two days ago I gave a review and expressed my concerns and the owner of this establishment responded quickly and had the situation handled. I went back today to try it again (as the owner told me to come back) and what can I say?! Amazing! Tonight was a totally different experience from the other night. The catfish is amazing, chicken is good, etc! Thank you for this great experience. I will make sure I come back again!!

I am obsessed with the Philly cheese steak and lemon pepper fries. Also tried the strawberry lemonade and it was delicious.

We decided to try the Philly Cheesesteak. We both ordered it without lettuce or tomato. (We both thought it was a little odd to have those on it. Maybe next time we'll try it that way.) It was a LOT of food. Delicious for sure. There was about a 10 minute wait from when we ordered until it was ready. We liked that it was made as we ordered and not just sitting around waiting for us. We would definitely eat here again. I meant to try their lemonade but totally forgot to order it. Next time! It was a warm day, but it was warmer inside the building than it was outside. We chose to get our food to go for that reason. We ate in the truck in the parking lot. I don't know if it's always that warm in there, but I was uncomfortable. It was clean in there, but the temp is why I reduced my atmosphere rating.

This place is also a ghost kitchen for a restaurant called "Pardon My Cheesesteak" (stupid name). The food itself is excellent. Fast, made to order, and polite service. The place could use a clean and a new exhaust fan, but nothing was creeping or crawling while I was in the store. I got the philly and fries. I recommend ordering it without the lettuce and tomato. The fries were so gooooood but that's probably the MSG talking. For real tho, great food.

Food is okay, I've tried the gyro and is tasty but I've also ordered the jumbo shrimp and those were really small. The service is regular because there's only two people taking orders / cook.

It's a take out place for people looking for a sandwich. I got a gyro and it look 10 minutes to make the fries. Honestly, the looked frozen and heated up. I think they took time to make the fries. The space itself was hot like no air conditioning. Don't expect to stay. I literally was sweating in the lobby. They fact 6 tables of 2 seats. More for waiting for the food to be done. Honestly, I would recommend going to King Gyros or even Arby's if you want a cheaper quicker meal. No restroom either.

Ordered from firebelly wings on door dash. Ordered traditional hot wings hot honey wings and fries. Fries were good. Traditional Buffalo wings tasted of chemical or cleaner. Tried two wings and both tasted the same. Whatever sauce or happened in the kitchen can't be okay. Won't be ordering from them again.
Mel Adams
WORST place in Fort Wayne! Salad was drinched in water. Burger cooked until it was dehydrated and it's a soy bean burger $10.99 and didn't even get the fries that were supposed to come with it. If you don't pay with cash you get charged 4% every item extra so don't think about ordering online. First time ever trying Baba's and I will NEVER try it again at any location! $38 down the drain.
