  Really not 100% sure I fully understand the 'reputation' of this particular Chipotle...
  
  Pros:
  + It's Chipotle, delicious delicious meat, overly fatty burrito shells with an almost uncanny ability to have a similar addictive ability to crack (bowls will help you save some calories... think over 200), flavor packed salsa, and generally wholesome, recognizable ingredients.  All well prepared, and ready to go into whatever food conveyance strategy (handheld, utensil, other?) that you might choose.
  + Great portion size
  + Easy to spot building
  + Reasonably priced.
  
  Cons:
  - The person who called the cashier scary is kind of right.  There's just something unnerving about the way they stare...
  - The guac is still overpriced.
  - There's a lack of tables, but plenty of bar space.  This is alright, but not ideal.
  
  Meh:
  = Not the best or worst Chipotle staff I've ever encountered, they work at a reasonable pace though.
  = Yes, you can see a gentlemen's club, but where in this area of town can't you?  It's even possible to see one from the mall...
  
  Overall, it's a delicious, clean, Chipotle.  Not revolutionary, but better than average fast food.  Definitely worth it when looking for a quick lunch, especially for mexican / tex-mex.

  It was my first time trying Chipotle and I have to say I was impressed, they use organic meat and vegetables, everything is made fresh to order, it is fast food but probably the healthiest version one may find. I like how our dish tasted, we had beef with rice and veggies, mild. Very nice place. The price of our dish was around $10. This particular restaurant is quiet small, so I can imagine it getting busy during lunch hour.

  "Fort Wayne has managed to screw up Chipotle," said my wife.  And at least this location she was right.
  
  All turkey'd out over the Thanksgiving holiday, my kids started to crave Chipotle.  There really isn't a better place to eat 1,500 in one sitting and not feel too bad about it.  We were in from out-of-town so my daughter got on her iPod and found the nearest location.  We drove to it.  This one sits on a prominent corner of a busy street next to a Hooters, next to a strip club, next to a check cashing place.  Has Ft. Wayne ever heard of zoning?
  
  It wasn't really a block I wanted to drive by much less eat on.  But we stuck it out.  I had visions of describing lap dances to my 9-year old over Chipotle's patented rice delivery mechanism.  Inside, a guy threw a tortilla on the grill thingy but apparently forgot to turn it on.  Some other lady yelled at me "What meat?".  A nice lady at least smiled and sauced us.  At the register was a very scary looking woman who stared at us as our burritos made it down the little assembly line.  Scary lady cashed us out.  All the while I guy standing at the grill behind the line was talking to some woman in the dining room - over the heads of all of us.
  
  No ice in the ice machine.  I approached the scary looking cashier lady who said "I'm working on it." as I walked in her direction empty cup in hand.
  
  We sat down to our sloppily made burrito with cold tortilla and wondered how.  How could you screw up a Chipotle?  They managed it.

  A somewhat "healthier" fast food option in the area. I enjoying getting salads here. The downside to this place is limited seating, and it often gets crowded during weekday lunch hour.

  Really good for fast food, but still fast food. The steak burrito is huge by the time you get all the fixings on it, and it tastes good too.
