Don Hall's Old Gas House Restaurant Bar

Solid and respectable Fort Wayne Original... I 've been to DH 's too many times to count in college and since moving back to FW, and realized I 've never done a Yelp review hence why I forgot to take pics ... In usual fashion, Don Hall 's didn 't disappoint with the meal. As always, there was great service, good steak dinners, and laid back atmosphere. I did notice the prices rose a lot since the last time we visited, which is starting to get annoying with restaurants continually jacking up prices $200 for 4 people; dinners only, no dessert is questionable at best At some point restaurants need to realize they 're pricing themselves out of business yeah, I get it... The economy is ****, but there still are FW restaurants that offer fair and reasonable prices to customers China Palace, Blue Bird Cafe, etc. , whilst giving enormous portions, so I don 't buy the economy excuse anymore. PS If you don 't like the current economy, don 't keep Biden in office come November... Food for thought, people. Nonetheless, DH 's does offer a good meal and is always consistent.

Such a neat place! Love the decor...a little old rustic style was so cute. The 'window seat ' looks like a must if you 're a party of two. Our waitress was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable and helpful during our visit. Our order was taken quickly and food and drinks came out promptly. We didn 't have to do a lot of waiting but we didn 't feel rushed. The food was really good! We all got a steak of some kind for dinner. I went with the coffee crusted sirloin and Mac and cheese. It was delicious. Prices are a little high but well worth it. Definitely a recommended stop if you 're going through Fort Wayne.

We popped in for a quick lunch after a meeting downtown. The breadsticks are a nice touch, buttery and warm. I had the chicken Cobb salad with blue cheese dressing. Crisp mixed greens with bacon, egg and a moist and juicy fried chicken breast. The flavors in the breading were great. The restaurant is in great shape and well maintained. It's been around for a long time. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly with great recommendations. Always a great meal.

Mixed reviews in our dinner party of 5. NY steak and Jambalaya Risotto were hits!!! The misses were the Gumbo! Omg based on that alone I would not come back. Terrible!!! Shouldve never been served! But the waitress warned me before hand that many dont like it. I was not thinking and ignored here not so subtle hint. Non edible. Resembled mush and a nasty dull brown color. No shrimp, no chicken. 2-3 slices of sausage and 3-4 day old rice. Could smell the roux before tasting. It smelled burnt. Well it tastes worse than it smelled. Crab cakes were mediocre at best. Mushy and lacked crab chunks. The Chicken wings were poorly cooked. My Gulf Shrimp blackened were so so. The Brussels however were delicious. The German Chocolate cake was dry/old and the frosting was not bad. Others has Yellowfin Tuna cooked med-rare blackened. Said lacked taste and wouldnt order again. I personally wouldnt come back, but if I were, I would get steak! Service was good. Drinks are very good!

We chose this restaurant for its extensive menu for our friends who treated us to a concert at a local venue. We made rather early reservations and when we got there, we were promptly seated. The restaurant is older, rustic and was beautiful on the interior. You could tell, that the establishment was used to having large numbers of patrons. We were then greeted by our waitress who promptly took our drink orders. We had Old Fashioned 's and skipped appetizers as we were pretty hungry and knew we were all hankering for beef! My husband had the coffee rubbed ribeye and the rest of us had prime rib. The old fashioned 's were good--very drinkable, not the best we have had but decent, nonetheless. Our dinners arrived shortly thereafter and each was cooked to order. My friends ordered the gumbo and after a couple of bites, apologized and sent it back because it was tasteless. My prime rib was tender and tasty. Nothing to write home about, but lightly seasoned and cooked the way I liked it. I was curious as to my husband 's steak, which had the coffee rub on it. We make this at home using Bobby Flay 's recipe and love it! So we were curious as to how theirs would be. My husband said that it was good but not like the BF recipe that we use. The only disappointment was the creamed spinach that my husband had. It was barely creamy and was tasteless. For all of us, it was a satisfying meal--just was hoping to be wowed. So 3 stars it is! If there were no other places to go, we would return.
