The Old Gas House offers the best in traditional dining since 1959. Situated at the confluence of Fort Wayne's famous three rivers, our Old Gas House building has not only, by it's location, been called upon to survive three major floods but has witnessed the closing of the Erie Canal and an occasional Indian uprising! History, tradition, and romance abounding... but mainly a reputation for our Steaks. Seafood and Prime Rib have qualified the Gas House as not only one of Fort Wayne's first, but certainly one of Fort Wayne's favorites for more than thirty years. 305 East Superior Street 426-3411
