Little Gems of Springfield Township: Where to Eat

Why drive to Fort Wayne for a meal when we have five places worth a stop right here in Springfield Township?

My standard order at Harlan Cafe is the All You Can Eat Fish Meal with cole slaw and cottage cheese. At Harlan Donuts, it's a Bavarian Cream and a Blueberry Cake. At The Old Ridge, I've made my way through Black Cherry, Peach Cobbler, and Sea Monster. When I need a quick sandwich to go, it's the Club at E&L Family Meat & Cheese. The Pop Stand and Tacos El Amish are next on my list.
