Satisfy your sweet tooth at this lovely local bakery.
If you are a donut fan, you must visit this location to try an applesauce or blueberry cake donut. The carmel iced cinnamons and unfilled carmel nut subs are also family favorites.
A haven for fine dining? Bluffton is not. CoCo China is locally owned and run and serves a selection of American foods.
Another locally owned dining location. This restaurant will serve you quickly and fill you up and satisfy your craving for Mexican food.
I know. I know. Pizza Hut. If you are not from around here, you should know that our local Pizza Hut chain is better than the average Pizza Hut. The salad bar is wonderful and the taco pizza is a local favorite.
If you are staying in Fort Wayne and do not have children, visit one of our favorites. We enjoyed dessert here on our first date and this is where Joe gave me my engagement ring. They feature an entire martini menu, but they always come through with a delicious dirty Tanqueray martini as well. The Elderflower is also a delightful taste treat.
This is THE spot for all lovers of gourmet burgers. The owner is one of Joe's former South Side students.
If you are traveling with children and have a little extra time, our zoo is one of the top rated Children's Zoos in the country.
If you are traveling with science loving children and have a little extra time in your schedule, this is an excellent place to visit.
With 20 taps, this is a lovely place to grab a beer and some excellent bar food. I recommend the Big Ass Fish sandwhich or the Big Ass Tenderloin and Shrooms. Their chicken strips are also hand breaded and the basket is big enough to split between two kids with double fries instead of the slaw. The pizza is all hand made and the Luce Fresca is absolutely wonderful. The grilled hot wings are the best and if you aren't into beer, be aware that they tend to pour heavy and the Long Islands are not from a mix.
One of the best places for a sushi fix. Start with the handmade crab rangoon or egg rolls. Enjoy one of their best signature rolls when you order the Playboy Roll, the Corona Roll, and the Mafia Roll. Not a fan of sushi? Try the Dolsot Bibimbap or their General Tso's Chicken.
