We are a bar your underaged children are not welcome! Lol State law I swear to god! At Harry's Old Kettle Pub & Grill, (formerly The Old Kettle Saloon, est. 1968), you don't have to wonder what the walls would say if they could speak. Just set down your cold glass of craft beer and look up from your cheesesteak sandwich. Our ceiling is a Wabash landmark in itself, full of pinned dollar bills with scrawled birthday greetings, couples' names, and signatures. This is one of the many aspects of the original pub that Harry and his wife Judy worked to keep alive. Once you talk Patriots with Judy or try one of Harry's hearty burgers, we promise, you'll be hooked.

Sometimes yelp steers me wrong, but not today! Our party of four thoroughly enjoyed our late lunch. Our server, Dawn (after directing us into the entrance) was hospitable, attentive and friendly. 3 of us had burgers and the other pulled pork. We were all very pleased with our selections!
Dawn even brought Harry to our table and he shared a local true crime story with us.
If I'm ever back in Wabash, I'll certainly return!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Always a good feed however this time round I ordered some bone in jerk but got boneless chicken instead . The authentic jerk season should not be so sweet . It should be salty and savory. The salad was also plastered with too much sauce.
I love this place so hate to give it a low rating...Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Not what you expect from the curb appeal, but great service, food and drink specials.
Inside was inviting, games on, music playing, and friendly staff.
Everyone in our party had a different meal and we tried each others - all very good! We will return for sure.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

What a pleasant surprise. Don't let the outside turn you off, the food inside is delicious! My husband and I were driving back to Lafayette from Fort Wayne and found Harry's from Yelp reviews. I got the breaded tenderloin and fries and it was wonderful! My husband got the breaded hot chicken and onion rings and he really enjoyed his meal.
We wish we would have known the specials. They also had Spanish dogs and ribs with two sides. The people next to us got the ribs and they looked and smelled fantastic. Great little dive bar with friendly staff.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Don't want to give five stars based on my experiences, but four-and-a-half would be more fair.
Harry's is an authentic neighborhood place in what looks to be a former drive-in (as in "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," not the movie venue).
Arriving just after 5:30 one afternoon, the place was already hopping with only a few empty seats at the bar and in the lounge area. Finding one, I slid in and grabbed the "June Drink Special" menu. My server, Jay, came by quickly and took my drink order: a glass of Pinot Noir - for $2! For the price, it was quite nice: smooth with a medium fullness. Not a thin variety, as Pinots so often are.
Perusing the menu, I had to try the "Judy." Named after one of the establishment's co-owners who hails from Boston, it's a tribute to a Philly Cheese Steak. Shaved prime rib, green peppers, onions, and cheese on a large roll, it comes with Kettle chips for $11.99. A little extra salt was all it needed to make me happy.
I was at a small table so I didn't get to interact with the other guests, most of whom seemed to know each other. Given its location off the main drag, it makes sense that it's more of a local haunt than a destination popular with out-of-towners.
That said, everyone was pleasant enough and being the only non-local did not keep me from going back.
Another night, I sat at the bar and enjoyed a $2 Sauvignon Blanc along wit my boneless chicken wings. One of the locals -- who'd noticed me during my previous visit -- said they were trying to clear out some wines they'd overbought but no matter; I was the beneficiary and the $2 wine was just fine, thank you.
While I didn't get far down the menu, the extensive selection of "hand-helds," (burgers and other sandwiches), salads and bar bites, offers a lot to be sampled. Haute cuisine it isn't, but good food it definitely is. And reasonably priced; I was out of there for less than $15, plus tip each time.
If you're in Wabash, give it a try.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We walked in just before 9 pm and the kitchen closed at 9. The waitress notified the cook and he stayed open for our order.
I ordered the chicken nachos- nice mix of toppings meet and cheese- we'll it maybe could have had a little more cheese( but this is always the case)
The jalapeños were spicy and plentiful!
Hubby had the fish sandwich- the fish was excellent but the bun was a little lacking.
Great service and an excellent beer selection!!!
He had Bells hazy, IPA and loved it!
They were playing Classic Cubs - we don't usually watch sports but it was fun to see the old players, uniforms and announcers.
Thankful to stumble into this little pub!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

So the outside is a lil unassuming and looks like (no offense) a dive bar, BUT still decided to go in and Thank God, the service was UNMATCHED and the food was KILLER! The twisty fries, the tenderloin, the drinks, the DIRTY HARRY all beyond delicious. Will definitely make the drive to this place no question.

Stopped in today while my car was getting worked in next door. Love the atmosphere and vibes this place gives off. The service was great and the beer selection was above average. I highly recommend the Dirty Harry sandwich. Most definitely will make a return visit.
