A true Diner. Simple, small; perfect. Hits the spot for breakfast or lunch. Good people. Quiet setting and good conversations with complete strangers makes it a restful and fun place. I leave happy every time.

Cute little diner, old school. Great menu--the Garbage is amazing. Space is limited so it's better for groups if no more than 2-3.

Good grub at Cindy's Diner up off Berry Street downtown. Prime location, parking can get complicated, but it's a hot little spot downtown. Food is pretty good. I like the garbage plate. Good donuts, coffee, orange juice, eggs n bacon, toast, you name it they got it. Good oatmeal, moosh, pancakes.

If you can get a seat this place is awesome. It's like hole in the wall meets retro diner.Go for breakfast if you want some classic American breakfast. I've gone for lunch and breakfast and both are great. The pie was really good and it was fun to look at all their mugs. Parking is probably on a meter, I walk there most days. Pretty cheap, normally 10 or less after tip.

Finally decided to try the famous garbage skillet. I ordered half a skillet with cinnamon bread French toast. It was good but all you can really taste is potatoes and cheese. The french toast with cinnamon bread was also good.

Staff was Great... But my lunch was not.I was recommended the Patty melt by a regular that sound's like he's there daily. His comment was just hope your not kissing anyone later...For those that don't know this is Small place. Maybe a 16 top rounded bar eating area. Took 20 min to get my food.The burger patty was less than a 1/4" thick and way smaller than the sandwich bread it was served on. Obviously prepare & cooked to death. It was either a 90/10 mix or just well well. Larry as you'll see from my pic's they must of been almost out of onion's as I got a few slices. BUT LOOK HOW MUCH DRY EMPTY BREAD I HAD ON BOTH 1/2'S... FOR $5.20 My onion ring's were ok for frozen. For the $8.50 which was $11 with my tip no thanks not again

Cindy's diner pays homage to the old time diners. This mobile trailer had a counter with 10 seats around the counter that is opened from 6 am to 2 pm. Breakfast is what it's known for. I got the "garbage" that has ham, onions, eggs and cheese mixed in. It's a intimate setting and had a feeling of the 40s in the middle of town.

My fiancée and I moved in to West Berry Apartments in November so naturally the first place we visited was Cindy’s Diner. It’s a great little diner, a chilly Monday morning so there was us and one other couple. The food was fantastic. When we went there was only one lady working and she was telling the other couple (who were regulars) that she was annoyed and tired because her help had called off, and who wouldn’t be! But even though she was having a rough morning she was still fantastic and very nice! Hopefully we can visit again soon and try the famous biscuits and gravy!

This is a great place within a short walk of the convention center and library. It is a true diner. There is only seating at the counter, so if you were looking for a table, keep looking. Food was great and cooked to order. I had an omelet, and my wife had "garbage" (read the menu) which was ample for her. They make donuts onsite, but you have to get there early if you want any of those. Many locals eat there and that is a great testimony to food and service.

Serving "garbage" since 1952! Fort Wayne's first fast food. Great service, conversation, food and nostalgia. 17 customers at a time, so be quick.

Absolutely loved the peculiarity of the place. The staff is amicable and the food is divine! I ate their "garbage" with the fluffiest pancakes you will EVER eat... and I am hooked. I went for two consecutive days and repeated the same menu. Next time I go to Fort Wayne, I will go back for sure.

Cindy’s Diner is one of my all time favorite breakfast places downtown. My favorite dish is call “Garbage”. I usually get both ham n sausage but NO onions in mine. The owner is an amazing lady that has worked her way up from Dishwasher, waitress to head chef. LOL. Many don’t know it but the donuts are made in the same machine that was used by JC Murphys that was downtown until late 70’s. Highly recommend Cindys Diner.
