We enjoyed our breakfast with Collin taking care of us. He was a polite and helpful young waiter! The western omelets were very tasty! They serve a local coffee called Old Royal. My mocha was very yummy!! Many thanks for the pleasant breakfast!

Cute little brunch place in downtown Fort Wayne with a fair amount of street parking spots near it given its hours (9am-3pm). Tried their Florentine eggs Benedict and it was gooey and superb. Their cheesy grits were equally tasty and creamy. I tried the espresso explosion for a drink/drink (cold brew with two scoops of ice cream+whipped cream+chocolate syrup) and that was my absolute favorite part. 10/10, highly recommend.

Ive always heard great things about Dash In, but I hadnt been able to make it there until today. Im so happy my friend and I had lunch there today. Everything was delicious! I ordered the fajita wrap (no lettuce or guac) with a side of the spicy vegetable soup and my friend ordered the grilled chicken wrap with the tomato bisque. I also got an iced chai to go. We were both very pleased with our food and drinks. The staff was all very friendly and attentive. The place was very clean and looked to always be following covid safety guidelines. The food/drink prices are great, and so were the portions! Ill definitely be back!

Great local spot downtown.Only grip is they need to update the websites pricing. Always have great food. The smoked salmon beagle is great with Extra capers. And the crab cake salad is a go to... Lots of beer/cider options too

First - all day breakfast should be a given everywhere. Not only is it the most important meal of the day, its also the best. Second - I had the southwest sandwich (decided to go beyond my normal breakfast order) and I was beyond impressed. My wife continues to make fun of me because I talked about that sandwich ALL DAY.That is not hyperbole. I made comments about how much I enjoyed that sandwich from after I ate it until the end of the day. Maybe it just meshed with my specific tastes but it was truly superb.

Amazing and inventive breakfast options as well as an extensive on draft craft beer selection. Their coffee is locally roasted from Old Crown Coffee Company which is a huge plus as it is GREAT coffee. Their service is always fantastic. Whether you want a beer, a coffee or a bite to eat Dash-In is a downtown Fort Wayne staple for a reason.

This is a great spot for a quick and tasty lunch. Tip: It’s often very busy between 11:30 and 12:30. If you can’t find a table, get a seat at the bar. The rotating deli sides are always yummy, and you cannot beat their gourmet grilled cheeses.

We have been going to dash in for years. It is a great place with lots of food options. They cater to vegan and gluten free, and the service is very good. Im just hoping that in the near future they can get back to their evening hours again.

Dash-In is one of the best places to dine and drink in Fort Wayne. Drinks are mixed extremely well and the food is made with fresh ingredients and is never disappointing. The staff is top quality and very engaging. Plus, they serve breakfast all day! What else is there to say??

Service was great and food is always to die for! Dont underestimate this joint. Today I had the ahi eggs Benedict and I was amazed at how much I loved it. My husband got the slop... their gravy is a bacon type. So good. Stop in now.

Quality and delicious food. Great service. Their takeout boxes are biodegradable. Comfortable atmosphere. They have specialty grilled cheese and their all day breakfast is pretty damm good. I got the slop (like a breakfast skillet) but added jalapenos which I wasnt charged for and a decent side of country gravey that was pretty meaty. Fantastic place and food.

I went here yesterday for lunch with a couple of coworkers, great food, excellent service. I particularly like their smoked salmon sandwich and New York style cheesecake.*Updated April 2019*. I still love coming in here for lunch! Today I had their Euro grilled cheese and a tomato bisque. The bisque was creamy, dreamy, and excellent to deep the grilled cheese into. The grilled cheese was mildly complex with havarti, Gouda, and muenster cheeses with an excellently crisped sourdough bread.

Review №31

The unique gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches are a great idea. They have a strong beer selection on tap also. The prices are medium I would say, about $20 per person to eat and have a beer.

I was looking for a place to host a party for a group of friends. I emailed the contact on their website and got a response from Emily the next day. She told me about a private room that could hold us, 22. It worked out great. Emily arranged the room for us to easily see each other and talk. We all had a great time and the food and drinks were great too.

My first experience left me not wanting to return, but I decided to give Dash-in a second chance. This time, however, I was not disappointed. The menu is extensive and full of delicious options, but my favorite by far was the hummus appetizer. Such a variety on a single plate left me pleased with my decision, and my latte from the bar complimented the meal greatly.

The food at Dash-in is literally a comfort food. The tomato bisque is super yummy paired with a grilled cheese (which they have alot of options for).The bartender was super nice and informative. She knew the beer selection well and was able to recommend different types to my friend and I.Overall, a great stop for someone visiting fort wayne!

Best grilled cheeses in Fort Wayne. The seating can be a little cramped when its busy, but hey, they have falafel and really good daily specials so its worth the trouble. I wouldnt say its quick but the prices are good. The menu has a great variety and they have beer on tap.

I have had Pint n Slice a few times but never realized there was a hidden gem in the building adjacent them until I went here for brunch with my fiance this weekend! There menu has plenty of options and all the staff were super friendly and doing their very best to keep all the customers safe. I ordered the Breakfast Grilled Cheese and was blown away, I had so much left over too the portions are very generous!

Review №64

The food is wonderful and prices are fairly reasonable. The tomato bisque soup is one of my all time favorites. I gave it 4 stars because the waiter I had was rude. I told him I just had wanted a plain grilled cheese sandwich and he seemed a little confused by that. Then I had to repeat myself and he said well, what cheese do you want, I am not physchic sweetie. Extremely rude comment to make to a customer. I havent had any another issues the other times I have been there.

Interesting take on traditional dishes. Wished portions were a little larger for the price. Friendly staff. Because of COVID-19 we preferred to eat outside. As a result our food wasnt as hot as wed like had we been served inside where it was closer to the kitchen.

Review №76

Sandwich was tasty and original, if a tad overpriced. Cream of mushroom soup was excellent. Conscientious service. Informal atmosphere. The mounted insects in cases on the walls were well-mounted, well cared for, and interesting.Worth a visit for an informal and somewhat unconventional lunch, if you dont mind walking a bit from wherever you park.

Wonderful lunch spot with a nice variety of salads and sandwiches. Multiple versions of grilled cheese, all are amazing, pair with the equally delicious tomato soup.

Was in town visiting, stopped here the last night of my stay. If you love craft beer this is a place for you. Excellent rotation of beers on tap and a knowledgeable staff to guide your choice. I had a good Cuban sandwich but the grilled cheese sandwiches others ordered looked good also. If I find myself staying in town again, I will return here.

One of my favorite places to eat. The Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese is almost a perfect sandwich. Friendly servers, great beer selection.
