32 Best American Restaurants in Akron

“Pitchfork wins on the full combo of atmosphere, service and unique food selection. It’s a great social vortex in a great hub. Great wine, beer selection, drinks, appetizers and more. You can come here for lunch, dinner or just drinks. If dinner on a weekend I highly recommend a reservation a day ahead of time.

Yes they tack on a credit card fee, I’ve seen some people complain about this but I am 100% in support of it. It also means there is an advantage to pay in cash, so pay the bill and tip your server in cash for the best overall outcome and know the credit card service is there if you need it.“

“My sisters and I went to eat last night for the first time, definitely going back! The food was fantastic, the owner and his waitress were so kind and such lovely people. The ribs fell off the bone and the sides were delicious. So yummy!“

“We've been coming here for yrs especially on Fridays we switch between the ayce fish dinners to the he-man breakfast, and the girls that are waitresses are always cheerful and delightful, the food is always delicious and reasonable priced its a local favorite and I also recommend the fried mushrooms, you won't be disappointed sincerely The Puchalski's“

“Always friendly and welcoming. Great food. Family atmosphere. Very clean too.“

“The food here is always solid and the servers are a lot cuter than days of past. Go to the north hill location and ask for Brooke n I bet she won’t let ya down! Even after the onion rings were slightly overcooked on the last visit, she replaced them with absolutely no question in an instant and though it took a while to get the replacement order, it gave me a chance to enjoy a meal while talking to her a bit longer. She was very sweet and I have been back a couple times since!“

“Great food , great prices , beautiful building inside and out !! Must try“

“Hands-down, one of the best diners I have ever been to. Quick service, excellent classic diner food (made the right way), and the most attentive staff. Prices are decent too. Most of the menu is a la carte but the portions are huge! Highly recommend the biscuits and gravy!“

“Great customer service lovely staff“

“Food is good - when they are open. Saturday at 2:30 they were already closed. If business is slow or they are shorthanded, they close. Hours are never reliable. Call first. PS - not trans-gender friendly. I know someone who was told that they can’t use the bathroom there.“

“They allow patrons and staff to tamper with food and throw food. charge different prices then rerings to takes the extra $2“

“food was great....... except for the chicken wings. we came out of state from Buffalo NY for a concert in Akron OH. seen this place so we stopped. the portions are great for the price. I did the half rack of ribs and they were pretty good. my wife got a bacon cheese burger and loved it. said it was juicy and good flavor. the mac n cheese wedges were awesome. now this is where it turned. being from Buffalo I am spoiled and know my wings. I got the Cajun wings from here in a 5 piece to take and snack on back at the hotel. I took one bite and never finished them. the texture of the meat was super dense like they were boiled instead of deep fried and the skin was rubbery and almost like paper thin. the Cajun sauce was good but the wings themselves were just not my cup of tea. they don't come close to REAL Buffalo chicken wings. all in all I still highly recommend this establishment and the rest of the food. also prices, atmosphere, our waitress and the rest of the staff was excellent.“

“Had putty’s for the first time on Saturday and it was sooo good !! 10/10“

“Great food! Full of flavor and good portions! I will definitely be returning with others!“

“I love this place. They make the food as soon as you order it so it is always fresh. I always get the chicken pita with grilled peppers & mushrooms, lettuce, tomato and gyro sauce. I love that you can get a side of fruit, pineapple instead of chips. I highly recommended this place.“

“Great Service from Shane. All you can eat fish was delicious and they were very generous with reorders. Drove from Ravenna to try them out.Well worth the drive. Will definitely tryout other items on their menu.“

“First time there. Friendly service, great, diverse menu, lots of great choices for drinks, nice beer selection, crowded but not noisy. Salmon was a little sweet, but tasted great and good portions. We'll be back!“

“this was my first time here, amazing“

“Had one of the best burgers there. Two thumbs up.“

“If you want something more than the typical hospital cafeteria food, then try Virtues. They are located on the ground floor of Akron Summa hospital. I am at the hospital because a family member is having surgery, and this restaurant was recommended by the desk staff. You walk to the counter and order. They give you a buzzer that signals you when the order is ready. I had the signature BLT and a side Ceasar salad. The salad was good size, lettuce was crisp and fresh. The BLT is served on sourdough bread and had a chitpotle mayo that gave it a good flavor and just a tinge of heat. For expecting "hospital" food, this was a pleasant surprise. It cost me just under $20 for the sandwich, salad, and a fountain drink.“

“the chili cheese dog is magical lol. catfish and Mac and cheese is the way to go“
