This Week's Diner: Klemm's Kafe (Ft. Wayne, IN)

Our next counter visit was in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. No, we didn't drive 3 hours just to eat here -- we were in town for the annual GearFest at Sweetwater Sound.  After enjoying the festivities for a day (and picking up some really good open-box deals), we decided to find a local counter before heading back home. Klemm's came highly recommended and it did not disappoint!

Located in one of the older neighborhoods on the North side of Ft. Wayne, Klemm's is apparently a local favorite that's been there for over 20 years. In a small building with no front door (you go in through the side), it clearly is popular -- full parking lot and every table (there are only 10 or so) full.  Fortunately, it has a fairly large counter and were able to grab two seats right away.  While we were there, more and more people came in until there as a large group waiting.

The service and the food proved the crowd right -- super friendly and incredibly efficient staff, and a great meal all around.  Klemm's far and away set the record for speed -- we had our food on the counter in about 3 minutes from the time we placed our order. Given how busy they were, that was really impressive!

And the food quality was great too.  Breakfast sandwich (on a croissant) and potatoes for Cam, and eggs / bacon / potatoes combo for Ted.  Everything cooked really well and with great coffee too.  Overall, one of the top counters of all we've visited.  If you are ever in Ft. Wayne, go here!







Cam says: "Atmosphere could be called 'interesting', but with decent service and good food quality I'm giving it 7 frying pans."


Ted says: "Everything about this place was great -- old diner atmosphere, lots of local color, excellent service and great food. Nothing is perfect, but Klemm's is pretty close. 9 pans."
