Powers Hamburger Restaurant

I came back after they've gotten new ownership here and had the same experience as years ago. The service was rough and tumble, made me feel like I was a doof at one point. I did tip too right in from of one dude, no thanks given etc. That's all fine so I was hoping for good burgers. They were hot, just not my cup of tea, yuck. They're affordable and small, but for me I didn't want to finish. Not coming back here, not recommended.

This is my first visit since the new owners took over. (I live an hour away) I think the new owners have done a fabulous job. The entire building was crisp and clean, friendly staff, but most importantly the sliders were just as I remember with that nostalgic onioney yumminess. 🥰 The fresh cake looked amazing although I didn't have a piece and apparently they now offer fries! 🤷🏼 I am thankful this Fort Wayne landmark has been preserved and hopefully will make it another 80 years.

Powers was quite a nice late night stop. It has tons of atmosphere as a late night diner, and I was able to sit at the counter with many others. It’s a small space, but customers are constantly coming or going. I just ordered several cheeseburgers, and they were just what I needed at that time of the night. They had plenty of flavor despite their diminutive size, and they were worth every penny. It’s easy to see how a place like this has thrived as long as it has. I hope it continues to do so for many more years; I’d love to stop by again someday.

A must try when in Fort Wayne. The service was good and the food can't be beat. I also ordered the malted milkshake, which was delicious.

Used to love this place and I just left. My burgers aren't hot and neither are the single slices of onion they put on there. Hopefully this was just a one off and not an example of what they've become since the renovations. The pic shows that the patty is 1/2 the size of the already tiny slider bun. Used to get heaps of onions and a hot burger :(
