Jam-packed days call for nourishment. But sometimes you don't have a lot of time to devote to a meal. No worries; Fort Wayne has several lunchtime favorites sure to appeal to hungry diners on the go. Here are a few of my favorites:

Quick Lunches in Fort Wayne, Indiana

Dash-In

Come for Dash-In's famous grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup and stay for the atmosphere. This restaurant has been a lunchtime favorite for years. As the name implies, they'll get you out relatively quickly; in less than 30 minutes. Their lunch menu is pretty broad, with sandwiches, soups and salads.

816 Pint & Slice

Located next to the Dash-In, this pizza joint has earned a reputation for quick service and quality. They serve up the usual cheese and pepperoni varieties, but also feature a daily special. They have a gluten-free option available for made-to-order pies. I recommend their combo deal, which includes a slice, side salad, and soft drink. In the warmer months, they have outdoor seating.

Bandidos

If you're on the north side, I recommend Bandido's. This restaurant is part of a local chain of Mexican restaurants. They do fresh and fast right. Sit at the bar for quick service and an adult beverage. Oh, and don't skimp on the guac.
