Harlan Cafe’

Have had breakfast there which has been great. Fish is awesome. So is the burgers. And as always the pies are yummie. Worth the drive to Harlan.

We’d made a stop in Grabill and were looking for a place to eat, and I saw a few reviews for this café online. We weren’t disappointed! It was a late lunch on a Friday, so the place wasn’t busy. I had the Frisco burger with fries, and my husband had the fish sandwich special with fries. It was all delicious! The portions were pretty big (the fries are so, SO good, but don’t finish them — you’ll be stuffed!) and the sandwiches were great. This is the kind of place to go when you want comfort food, for sure!

This is my first visit in about a year. It was pretty busy on a Tuesday evening, and the servers were a bit flustered. 3 in my party ordered the roast beef manahatten (cannot find too many places in Ft. Wayne that serve these), the fourth person just ordered a baked potato. The manhattens came out fast and they were good. However, 1 person ordered a cup of vegetable soup and it came out the same time as the manhatten — it should have come out first. Also, someone ordered the cottage cheese with peaches. Had to remind the waitress, and then she served it without the peaches. When this was brought to her attention, she said «oh — you wanted peaches with that?» It was a special that was advertised on the menu board — shouldn’t have been a surprise that someone would order it.
Also, the 4^th person that ordered the baked potato — she is kind of picky, mind you. She said the potato overall was good, but was a little hard in the center. She said she could not bring herself to order any real «food» because of the smell outside the restaurant. Well — this is Amish country, and Amish have horses — enough said. Get over it.
Food is good — I will be back for the manhatten. If someone knows another place I can get a manhatten– please let me know!
