Though I have never been there sober. The food is great on a full tank of beer.

I was eating some Chilli just now from a place down the road from my office, then I realized that I was not eating chilli, be cause chilli only comes from Powers.

MMMMMMM Powers.

the 1st place to teach that there are two
meanings to the word slider(wait...maybe three)

I vote for the creation of a Slider Council. Meet on a pre-arranged weeknight to sample this cuisine you locals are so fond of... and to 'banter'.

If that gets shot down, someone should just force me to go there. I'm a Powers Virgin, ya know.

Powers is okay. I prefer White Castle, but since this IS Fort Wayne and we don't currently have a White Castle in the area, I give the place 1 thumb and a nub up.

Too many onions for me. Even sans-onion sliders taste like they're swimming in them.

Delicious, just make sure you ask for the hot sauce they keep in the fridge and go to town.

The chili is amazing, but I am jaded because this summer I drove my drunk ass ALLLLLL the way over there from the dupont area late on a Friday night to find them CLOSED!

This town has that problem..NO SET HOURS! It is hit or miss with so many good places I pretty much don't go anywhere cool anymore...:)

i live four blocks from Powers and have been known to enjoy their dishes, 6 burgers, one large malt and a slice of dutch apple pie=me full for quite a while...sometimes, the onions are stringy and that brings down the quality a considerable notch. What makes Powers priceless is the cast of characters and their conversations, someone could shoot one hell of a documentary there.

That's why I decline onioning-up my Powers.

after MUCH powers experience, i suggest:

if you like a LOT of onions, ask for light onions, and get a dirty look.

if you like NO onions, ask for NO onions, and get the onion residue from a grill that hasnt been cleaned since the Roosevelt administraion, get dirty looks, and possibly a spit glob.

i gauge my onion intake on the amount i've had to drink, and how much i feel like washing my sheets, curtains, car, dog, and carpet the next day to get the onion smell out.

after much Power's experience, I suggest this:
spy a beautiful lady.
buy her a slider, or two.
have the waitress tell you that said pretty lady needs no more sliders- whatever the hell that means.
persist. buy her Raisin Bran as breakfast item instead.
let her lie thru her teeth about said Raisin Bran deliciousness the following eve.
call her out, yet love her anyway.
go on dates with her.
she'll tell you 6 months after the lie that she did not eat the Raisin Bran.
ask her to marry you.
she will, of course, say yes.
go to Power's as part of you Batchelor Party.
have all members of party buy shirts.
have said members of wedding party wear Power's Tees under Tux's.
continue with odd obsession about White Castle. Remain loyal most of all to Power's. your life will be richly blessed. indeed.
