lupe santos: Well it's been 4 yrs since I've been back and the food is good but not 56.00 good minus tip ( great service) 5 tacos, kids pizza, chips and salsa and 2 drinks. I just hate it when the tacos fall apart! I like corn tortillas and you have to double up on them. My opinion is that for the money I think you can double up on the tortillas. Other than that great food and atmosphere is still cool. I can wait to go back 😬

Erin S: When I came in, I was immediately greeted by the host and taken to a booth in the bar. Service was fantastic - I had been seated, ordered, and received my food in record time.

Amber Hunter: I really wanted to love this place. The atmosphere is fun and our waitress was sweet and attentive. That's as far as the stars go unfortunately. The food was just not any good. I should have LOVED this meal. I got the sirloin, medium. It's usually my favorite protein. I was super excited to see the char on it, and that it was cooked nicely. But OH MY LORD... This was the toughest sirloin I've ever met. And it was not overcooked. I don't even know how to explain that. I am not picky with my steak. I never send it back. Overcooked? Oh well, eat it. Too rare? Try not to look at it and eat it. Poorly seasoned? Dip it in some sauce and eat it... You get the idea, but I was so tired of trying to chew that mess that I gave up after a few bites. The big serrated butter knife they call a steak knife couldn't accomplish peices small enough to compensate for the awful texture of the thing. Sadly I didn't even eat the mashed potatoes served with my steak because they were cold. My daughter's Kimchi chicken was better but very very salty and my other daughter had a taco that was served on a cold tortilla that was just plain boring. I probably should have just sent it back but I just took the food home for my dog. She enjoyed it so I've asked her to leave a review of her own of she felt mine was unfair. Like I said, I really wanted to like it. It's such a neat place with a great location, but the food greatly disappoints. I hope they were just having a bad night but I don't think we will risk going back to find out.

Craig Ganssle: Amazing tacos! Really nice atmosphere with floor to ceiling windows with nice street views of the city.If I ever return to Fort Wayne, I'll be sure to stop here again trying some different tacos.

Ellie Neuerburg: One of my FW favorites! I think it 100% lives up to the hype and I always leave satisfied. And that’s coming from a vegetarian who only gets the same thing every visit! I could live off of their avocado tacos forever, but everyone I’ve gone with (carnivores unlike me) has always been satisfied with their choices. Cocktails are good, atmosphere is good, waitstaff is kind, food is great, I don’t know what else you could want in a local restaurant. Always 5/5 for me!

Jin Kwon: The tacos were delicious. I enjoyed all of them but the duck stood out as well as the barbacoa. My FIL enjoyed his west Philly. Our service was excellent.

The Bug Podcast: Food good as usual, just had a not so attentive wait person, and the queso was not good, and was never given linen napkins like the other customers we were given a stack of paper napkins we had to ask for twice, paper napkins restaurant workers don't get tipped either

Scott V: Great food and drink to start our Saturday. This wasn't our first choice, but very happy we had to fall back to plan B. The mimosas was huge, unlike most places, and you could tell they use premium ingredients.Whip cream on the French Toast was unbelievable, not sure what it was infused with but it was perfect.Again very happy with our visit

Bethany Hughes: We had Richie as our server, he was wonderful! Mason the manager made sure to stop by and talk with us. He helped ensure our visit was as great as possible. Additionally, we sat by the kitchen window where we could see the various chefs and line cooks. They did a great job being on display while making everyone’s food in a timely manor. Everything was amazing!!

Mark Leipold: Love the brussel sprouts!

Adam Kline: 1st time visiting and we had a great experience. The food was great. The prices were good. The staff was warm and friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable and the bathroom was nice and clean. My only suggestion would be to work on getting something on walls or ceiling for sound adsorption as it can get a lil loud with larger crowds. Overall a recommended spot for sure.

Ann Hill: My family had lunch here today. The place is so neat inside and very clean. The staff was very welcoming. The food was delicious and our server was excellent. We will definitely go back again.

Nolan Richhart: The food is above average bar food. The pub is very clean and the servers are always pleasant. The biggest drawback to this place is it is always loud. I don't mind the other patrons, but the place is incredibly prone to echoes. When games are on it's like you are inside a tin can. Be ready for a loud evening.

Janelle Hartman: We met friends for a birthday party on St. Patty's Day. I had the nachos and my husband had the chili cheese fries. It was so good! We will definitely be back!

dan gesick: As always great food and wonderful people. Appetizers enough to share.

Meely B’Deely: I used to work here when I was in school, but still come back because I genuinely love the place! So happy to see it’s doing well! The food, service, and speed has came such a long way! I love bringing people here for the first time.. I always know a place! Had sliders last night, and stuffed jalapeños - still my favourite..😋

Angie Nicodemus: Tried Pub @ 1802 for the first time yesterday and it was fantastic! We had the jalapeño poppers and Buffalo chicken dip to start and both were great. For dinner we had the southwest chicken wrap with fries. The wrap was fully loaded and had great flavor. The fries were hot and crispy and seasoned very well. Dessert was peanut butter pie and it was delicious! The highlight of our visit was our server Michelle. She was amazing! Very attentive and helpful! We will definitely be back!!

Mike Mastej: We loved it! Fast & friendly service. Michelle went above and beyond for us.The jalapeño poppers and birria tacos were awesome!

jeromy bowman: Southwest chicken salad was good. Farmers pizza was delicious. The beast burger, the cook can't seem to get a temp. To save their lives. 2x the same trip both wrong.Maybe just a bad day. Waitress was very nice. Even after complaining 2x.Environment was very loud!. Bathrooms were super clean and smelled good. .All and all. Will return to try again.

Nicole Gerlach: Very clean restaurant with a relaxing and fun atmosphere. Service was outstanding and the food was absolutely delicious. I would drive over an hour just to go there again! Highly recommend!!!

Chris Larimer: On our last visit (3/18/23), everyone must have been sleeping off their St. Patty’s hangover. My wife ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. Turns out, it’s no longer a breaded chicken fillet dipped in hot sauce. Nope - it was 3 tiny chicken tenders (1.5” x 3”) from the kids menu that they had repurposed into sandwich filler. Additionally, they were just over room temperature when it got to the table. We waited for the server to come check on us so we could let her know; it was more than 15 minutes before we saw her again. And then we weren’t offered a replacement - she just said she’d let the kitchen know. 🤷‍♂️I had the meatloaf. It was a decent portion of under-salted meat that was slathered in a bottled sweet-n-sour sauce they called “bourbon onion gravy.” Maybe it’s because I lived in KY for more than a decade, but I couldn’t make out any bourbon or onion…just diced canned peppers & high fructose corn syrup. Of the 12 green beans served with my meal, one had the stalk still attached! Because of the odd construction (bread, gravy, beans, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, & topped with onion straws) I couldn’t see it so I had the delightful experience of biting into a twig. Thankfully, the undercooked lumps of red potato in the “mash” were there to distract me from the disaster which lay underneath.I was there for my birthday meal (BOGO up to $15) - that money-saving coupon is the only thing keeping this from being a 1-star review. Disappointing. This place used to be good, but quality has certainly slipped in the last 18 months. (For reference, we go there 3-5 times a year.)

I had the Whiskey Salmon tonight with tasty tasty asparagus and honestly, this is not a joke people, the ABSOLUTE BEST TASTING MASHED POTATOES IVE EVER HAD PERIOD BUT DO NOT TELL MY MOM.I ate every.. single.. bite and then some!! The apps were amazing. Our sever was amazing. My dinner was ABOVE AND BEYOND!! Get there now to try this! I’m still dreaming about it!

Madison M: Ended up here after a long day at the Coliseum around 5:30ish on a Saturday. No wait if we sat at the bar, so we did! We had great service from the bartenders. I ordered a Mojito. Honestly was not the best and wouldn’t have been surprised if there was no alcohol in it. My next stop was a beer. I had the chicken sliders which were okay but didn’t seem totally fresh. I will say that I wasn’t overwhelmed by my first experience here, however, maybe I just ordered the wrong things. I’ve heard great things about their Sunday brunch! Bathrooms were really gross. I personally wouldn’t come back especially since I’m not from the area.

Ryan Stucky: We spent 4 hours at this restaurant. It was busy but it took an hour and a half to get our food! The manager was extremely rude and didn't care that we had little kids and just wanted to get our food and get out of there ... never going back!

The goat cheese was just enough to make the dish pop with flavor!

Darian Massengill: We stopped by here when we came to town to sell my vehicle to the carmax next door and boy are we glad we came here!!

Mike Fritsch: My friend took me here for the first time and this is now my favorite Mexican food place in Northeast Indiana. The food is just a step above and different. The burritos are crispy and not totally filled with rice like other places. The chips themselves are very tasty. Crispy with some kind of seasoned salt on them which makes them awesome!. Our service was extremely fast and good and they have a full bar too. It's just great

Corey Rice: Don’t get the Texan taco. It’s a worse version of Taco Bell’s hard shell taco. The $9 guacamole is a small scoop of smashed avocado with tomatoes on top.

Holly Hudson: Fantastic. The food and drinks were delicious. I got a quesadilla with steak, pesto, and goat cheese. We also got an appetizer of queso and chips.
