12/19/2010 - Big Eyed Fish Review By: A Better Fort
A Better Fort Charitable Organization is a non-for profit charitable organization with a focus on community development. Within our mission of supporting Fort Wayne, we have decided to attend a locally owned restaurant twice a month to review Fort Wayne's finest dining.
Our 1st week we decided to have a great dinning experience at Big Eyed Fish located on 1502 North Wells street. Our opinions mentioned throughout the context of our reviews are solely opinions; we are not food critics or experts. As we will try to promote a positive commentary on our experience, those who own or affiliate with each restaurant must not take our critics as negative or demeaning. Here is what we thought of Big Eyed Fish, enjoy!
Big Eyed Fish is a neighborhood restaurant bar and grille. The menu items we selected where the large fish Sandwich, cheeseburger and hot wings. We also had a chance to try some of the dessert. Of the twelve cheesecake options from the menu, we choose red velvet cheesecake.
The Cheeseburger was well served with garnishing on the side and fairly tasting. The first item to mention is the phenomenal price point that is more than accommodating and affordable for its size. If you like your cheese slightly melted, than this burger would be great for you as it was served before melting the cheese. The meat was cooked all the way through as well done. To compliment the cheeseburger the curly fries reminded us of Arby's! The fries were perfectly curly with just the right amount of crisp outside and flavor.
The hot wings sauce was one of the best we have tasted on the Fort Wayne bar and restaurant scene. Though the Big Eyed Fish is our first review, we were very impressed from our past experiences with other restaurants. Another plus for the wings, were they were cooked all the way through and large in size. Looking for a great wing choice to visit in Fort Wayne? This is the place!
Our last menu option was the large fish platter. Being this was one of the "house favorites" we had high expectations for this entre. Our expectations were toppled with the "moms home style" seasoning. It was great! With this platter you also have the option of home style or regular fries. Depending on how cooked you like your fries, take note that they were not crispy by any means! Some of us enjoyed the soft fries while the majority of us would have preferred them cooked longer.
The Big Eyed Fish, neighborhood feel with a neighborhood grille. There was limited parking, enough for a neighborhood stop-in but small for catering events or "packing" the restaurant. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience from our service to the meal. We give the Big Eyed Fish a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
