Office Tavern — Restaurant in Fort Wayne

I wanna preface this with, I've never written a review of a restaurant before in my entire life.

I've lived a few blocks away from this place for 45 years. I've been there maybe twice many years ago, and only for a few minutes.

Recently I was spending time with my son and was having a craving for something different, like steak and potatoes. So I decided to try this place, because it was very close to me, and I haven't been there in over 20 years.

When we get there, I was shocked at how high the prices were. My son orders a fountain drink and is annoyed when he is told that he will only get one free refill. And then told that they won't cook my incredibly overpriced steak well done (I don't care what you think about that, I don't like uncooked blood). I told her to just cook it as well as they are able to. I was in the mood to try something different. I also wanted my steak and potatoes and a bunch of other overpriced toppings to go. I was told there was a boxing fee of a dollar per box. Things like that kind of annoyed me as well.

I knew it was going to take a while for the food to be done, because they warned me that it could be up to a 45 minute wait, but I was willing to wait because I wanted to try something new. But after about 30 minutes my son started complaining to me that we could go somewhere else for far cheaper. So I decided to try and get ahold of one of the bartenders and ask if they had started cooking my food, and if not, I was considering paying for my son's drink and going somewhere else.

After a while of trying to get the attention of one of the bartenders, who continually kept passing by us as I was trying to get their attention. I was finally able to ask them if they had begun cooking the food, because I was considering canceling my order, if they had not already gone through any trouble of cooking it.

She said that they had not begun cooking the food, and so I told her that I would pay for the drink and asked if he could get a refill before we left. The drink was already outrageously priced for not having unlimited refills, and was mostly ice anyway. She said that he could only have one free refill if he ordered food. At this point I was fairly upset, but I held it in as we paid for the drink and left.

As we drove away, my son probably heard more swear words than he's ever heard come out of my mouth.

Suffice to say, I will never return to this...

The only reason I know this place exists is because I got a job there paving their parking lot last summer when we was done he invited us in for a meal and it was decent good atmosphere really nice people it wasn't until I went back again and had their steaks and your money could not buy a better steak anywhere else their food is absolutely amazing I mean if I could read this place 100 stars that get every one of them and they deserve them the owner of the place he's really nice down to earth person all the employees just feels like you're at home I tell people about this place all the time I mean it is excellent if you haven't been there I suggest you go and try on Monday nights filet mignons or any of their steaks srr absolutely delicious along with the rest of the menu so if you haven't been I suggest you go you could go to Ruth Christie and get New York strip let's say or a filet mignon you're going to pay a decent price for that steak whereas you can go to the tavern pay a fraction of the money and have it...

We went to try the steaks. The service was very poor. Absolutely no personality and got a little snarky with us when we asked why we hadn't gotten our food after an hour waiting. My steak was $27.00 and a baked potato was $3.50. Plus $1.00 extra for extra sour cream and .75 extra for extra butter.....PER PERSON. The steak was undercooked so I sent it back. It took another 12 mins to get it back. The steak had no flavor and was sort of tough. We will never go back. If I pay that mu h for a steak I better get a good one. Very, very disappointed with the food, the wait and the staff. READ THE REAL...
