What a wonderful restaurant and bar. Great craft beers and cocktails. I had tacos. Not your "regular" tacos. They were fabulous. We sat at the bar. It's a happening place. Our bartender/server was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and really enjoyed interacting with his guests. I cannot say enough good things about him. The managers are very involved with the operation helping out where needed. I had been in the hospitality industry for over 30 plus years and these folks are really invested to their business. My wife, and my brother really enjoyed ourselves. We will be back again soon. Hey Fort Wayne, check this place out. I am so impressed with this restaurant. More...

I always enjoy my time here, but today I came in with a few people to watch a particular football game and have a drink. The staff was VERY accommodating turning on a TV in the Gnometown Brewery area for us to watch the game we wanted. David and Joe were especially helpful, and I would recommend Hoppy Gnome to anyone wanting good food and good drinks! More...

Needed a quick bite and drink. I went with dessert for lunch at the bar. Excellent customer service by Dylan (sp?). He checked for me in the s'mores. We found out that the marshmallows AND the chocolate were made in-house. They tasted amazing!!!All the other good that went by looked excellent too. If I ever find myself back in Fort Wayne, I'll stop again. More...

My Bartender Dylan, upon our initial interaction, only had the best of reviews from me. He was personable and remarkably able to maintain flow in conversation. Knowledgeable and definitely invested in the market. Offered several samples based on my queries and his insight on my tastes. Will certainly go back again if not for their impressive tap and bottle selection, then definitely for the hospitality I received. Thank you again, Dylan, for the conversation. More...

Found this little gem on our way from MI to KY. Guy & I both had the HoppyGnome Ocktoberfest & IPA. Tbe IPA was dark & delish! Ocktoberfest was good, too! Started with the fried Cauliflower, which were fantastic. The Thai Chili sauce had great heat. He had the Cubano Torta, fo me, the bread was more like a ciabatta roll than a torta but the flavor/sauce was great. I had 3 tacos: the Mushroom/Arugala/agor cheese 2. Duck Confit 3. Shirt Rib (my guy ate this one). My fave was hands down, the Mushroom!! The decor is cute, I wish they had more merchandise as my guy & I love to buy wings from breweries we visit. Great spot!

Best taco ever! Can you imagine me a 100 pound girl had 5 tacos because they were too good! Taco, must order! The chips were very thin and fresh made, the thinnest chips I ever had, and the salsa so tasty! And the sunset sangria was soooo good too! S'mores were fun to make and the chocolate was good chocolate. Everything we ordered was perfect! Very satisfied! More...

Came in for dinner tonight while staying in Ft. Wayne for the night. Sat in the bar area, and we had a great server! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and how we could find items that fit our dietary needs. The menu clearly marks their vegan items. We got the chips and salsa, sushi roll, vegan bowl, tofu and veggie tacos. Everything was good. The vegan aioli on the sushi was delicious, and the broth in the vegan bowl was really tasty. The front of the house staff greeted us nicely, and the door was opened for me on the way out and in from the restroom. Seemed to have a nice crowd, and the outside and inside areas were both visually appealing. We were happy to have found this place. I looked at food being delivered to other tables, and it all looked good. We ordered beer and a cocktail, and I saw someone order a bottle of wine as well. Seems like they have a bit of everything.

Sat at the bar for a quick bar flight and tacos. Service was great. The beer produced by the gnometown brewery was great! Our favorite were the Blonde and Hoppy Wheat. Super yum citrus flavor with the Hoppy Wheat. Then we ordered tacos for lunch. The tacos were what they were known for on the menu. They did not disappoint. Wow! I wish I could share the smell through a photo. It looked and smelled amazing before we even tried it. We had the Steak, Mahi, and Bob Marley in our group. All were so good! The Bibb lettuce option was unexpected and wonderful. Having people with dietary restriction made it more accessible. I really recommend this place to anyone traveling through downtown Fort Wayne. Great food and beer! More...

I definitely liked this place, but high prices put it at the 4 stars. This is a trendy modern restaurant - clean, high ceilings, lots of windows. You walk inside the building and enter a lounge area, with bathrooms to the right, the brewing area to the front, and the restaurant and bar to the left. Our server, a younger woman, was great. Friendly and personable. We got:- portable mushroom and goat cheese taco with arugula- definitely a great flavor. But should be $3.50 or $4 max, not $5- Marley jerk chicken taco - same. Good flavor, some heat. But should be $4. - Mahi Mahi taco - good. Yes. But $5 is too much! They just don't overstuff the tacos like Condado Tacos does to charge $5- paprika poblano mashed potatoes - good! A nice side. Again, good flavors. I know they brew their own beer, but I didn't try anything. I know they say their tacos are their specialty, but I didn't find them too special (not for the price). Maybe downtown Fort Wayne is a pricey option to rent, and thus they need to mark up food? More...

The Hoppy Gnome always provides good food and service. Personally, I know what I want and always stick to that so it can get repetitive to go there but that is in no way a reflection of the quality. They have a wide variety of different food from salads to tacos. My only wish is that the sandwiches they offer at lunch were available at dinner. More...
