Dining suggestions near Huntington, Wabash and Fort Wayne

I will be staying in Hutington in December and attending a concert in Wabash. Any dining recommendations? Casual dining is best. Dinners up to $15 are the general price range I am looking for.

We will also be traveling up to Fort Wayne, so any suggestions in that area would be helpful.

No chains, just local restaurants please.

Dining suggestions near Huntington, Wabash and Fort Wayne

For casual dining, my friends (and their kids) loved the restaurant in the historic train depot in Huntington. They went several times during their visit to relatives, mainly because the trains go RIGHT by you.

I wanted to mention this next one because it%26#39;s delicious. While it isn%26#39;t casual, it%26#39;s not stuffy either. You could go for lunch to stay within your price range. It%26#39;s in a small (blink and you miss it) town just outside of Fort Wayne, and the reason they stay in business is that it%26#39;s worth the drive!

My favorite non-chain restaurant in Wabash is Market Street Grill. Get details, hours, menus, etc. at:

www.msgrill.com

Some entrees are more than $15, but you can eat there for $15 if you choose carefully and omit the appetizers, desserts, etc., though that is hard to do!

One of the entrees I like is the Drunk%26#39;in Chicken. I always get the BLT soup (two sides come with the meal).

If you go, you will want to get there early. They don%26#39;t take reservations, and sometimes the wait can be kind of long.

It is not considered a family restaurant; in fact they say you have to be 21+ or 18-21 with a person over 21.

The location is in historic downtown Wabash. The restaurant%26#39;s atmosphere is fun with all kinds of ';junk'; decorating the walls and a model train running around above the bar. Dress is casual. They serve lunch Tuesday through Friday, but the lunch menu is mostly soups/salads/sandwiches. They are closed Sunday and Monday.

Aztecaz Mexican Grill is also located in one of the old store buildings in downtown Wabash, and it has good food. The atmosphere is bright and cheery. It has two rooms, one for family dining and one with a bar (smoking section).

In Huntington, Nick%26#39;s Kitchen is a little downtown cafe that is known as the place that invented breaded tenderloin sandwiches. It%26#39;s not fancy or fine dining by any means but it%26#39;s a fun little place. I think it may only be open for breakfast and lunch, but I%26#39;m not sure.

Thanks for the great ideas SomeOne123!

I%26#39;m definitely going to the Market Street Grill next time I%26#39;m in Wabash! The menu looks delicious. The BLT soup sounds so tempting! I read the recipe on the website--definitely not a low-fat dish!:-) I%26#39;ll check out your other suggestions, too.

Hopefully we%26#39;ll get up there again soon!

There is a place in Roanoke which is between Huntington and Fort Wayne that we used to go to when we lived in Ft. Wayne, it is called the Village Inn. It is on a corner in dowtown Roanoke, they are famous for their broiled Haddock and Lyonnaise potatoes! Very family friendly only drawback I don%26#39;t remember them having a non-smoking section. Indiana is still in the dinosaur ages when it comes to smoking.

Other inexpensive places to try would be Buffalo Wings %26amp; Curls, right off of 24 in SW Ft Wayne, Cas D%26#39;Angelo on 24 in SW FW. Don%26#39;t miss the Casaburo salad, yum. Both are very inexpensive unless things have changed dramatically since we moved away.

Jefferson Point further down Route 24 (intersection of 24 and 14) also will have a variety of restaurants to choose from, some chains such as Chick-Filet, etc.

You must visit the Casa Restaurant in Ft Wayne. It is on Jefferson Ave, just off exit 102 from I-69. I promise you will love the italian meal you choose. Great food and very resonable prices.
