“The service is always amazing & the food is always top tier. I’ve been fighting a cold the last few days and all I’ve craved is their chicken noodle soup. A friend was nice enough to grab some for me and it did not disappoint. Thank you so much!“

“Al's restaurant and staff are family favorites. I often recommend Al's to travelers.“

“We had a great time there. Clean establishment, friendly people, helpful staff, GREAT beer selection on tap. Reasonable prices. Great food. Be sure to check out the pinball games. Highly recommend this place!“

“It's definitely NOT a pick up joint, but more like an old mans type of bar, but it's fun, cozy and friendly. Its a private club, by membership only and you have to have someone who's already a member to sponsor you for your membership. Its paid yearly, ($30? If I remember)The food is ok, its bar food so almost eveything is fried but still tasty. DRINKS ARE CHEAP!I I paid $2.75 for a large vodka and cranberry and honest to God thought it was a typo when we got the bill! The service is incredible. SO many people on the weekends, but Samantha, the bartender, always remains calm and friendly, while buzzing around like a hummingbird making sure everyones drink is full.There's a large room in the back for small partiesThere's a few TVs on the wall, (fun during Browns games) and a jukebox. Usually after a few rounds of cheap drinks, there's always some dude willing to test out their vocal skills, which ends up with everyone singing at the bar. Good Times!“

“We started playing darts league here last week. The owner and the entire staff is beyond accommodating and friendly. I havent tried the food yet but it smells so good and definitely plan to. Thank you for being awesome!“

“I stopped in on Saturday, looking for some soup… sadly, no soup, buuuuttttt, an excellent steak special. $13.99 for a pretty hefty piece of meat, choice of potato, and salad. It was delicious! Everything was cooked perfectly to order and I had plenty to take home for lunch on Sunday!!! Highly recommend checking this place out!!!“

“The chicken is prepared as Serbian style fried chicken (cooked in lard). The meat is very juicy. The coating is crisp and comes off in big pieces.
The hot rice is excellent 👌 (Thick, not soupy. The rice is dense, not mushy with just the right amount of "kick").
The fries are crispy.“

“I grew up on Whitehouse Chicken. It’s been a staple of my childhood. I don’t live in town anymore but was in town visiting family and wanted to share my love for Whitehouse Chicken with my kids. We stopped in but the restaurant was closed and we could order takeout out. Because we had a group of 6 we were hoping we could dine in. We were so grateful when we asked if we could stay and eat. They let us stay and eat in! The food was the delicious, the staff was absolutely incredible and so sweet for allowing us to sit and eat. It meant the world to me to share in the Whitehouse Chicken experience with my kids and husband. Truly the best dine in experience and truly so thankful for the staff to allow us in tonight! ❤️“

“Let's start with our server Cheryl so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. From the white french dressing to the new Cider chicken with caramelized onions and a perfectly cooked ribeye it was all delicious! Hubby had to have a piece of cheesecake w/ freshly made raspberry puree, he had to end up sharing...it was sooo good.“

“We travel to Akron, Ohio at least twice a year. We love having breakfast here. The food is always delicious and the service is outstanding. The people are friendly and we find this diner to be a great start to our day. Thanks for your hard work and friendly smiles.“

“My wife and I have been coming to the restaurant for many years and we have never been disappointed. Great service every time! Friendly atmosphere, supported by local people, because the food is very good. The original bar area was completely refinished and is beautiful, looks original. The dining area was also remodeled. Our go to place for Perch.“

“From start to finish - cocktails to desserts - everything was excellent. Our first visit. Everyone in our party was pleased with the restaurant selection. Divine did not disappoint. We'll definitely be back.“

“I did not get anything to eat. When I walked in, I saw the sign CASH ONLY. I normally do not carry cash on me. There is NO ATM on site. I didn't feel like driving to get cash and come back. Maybe the next time I'm in the area and have cash, I'll stop in.“

“I ordered the veggie omelet with bacon, potatoes, and grits. My food was delicious! The greens in the omelet was amazing! I can't wait to taste the other items on the menu! Great customer service!“

“Went back to Moe’s for dinner and everything was incredible. The food, service and atmosphere have always been consistently great every time we go. Whether a special occasion or date night, things are consistently great. We enjoyed the crab cakes as an appetizer, the duck breast with scalloped goat cheese potatoes as entree 1 and for entree 2, the braised short ribs in pomegranate glaze with the squash risotto.
The crab cakes were big and very dense. So good I forgot to take a picture. The risotto was incredible: very rich, creamy and not too cheesy. Extremely hard to find a good risotto in restaurants. I wish the pomegranate glaze on the short ribs was a bit more fruity but it was still incredible! The duck was good but the potatoes were the star of the dish! The goat cheese really defined all the flavors of the entree. Always look forward to returning and having another incredible meal!! We walked over to the more relaxed bar area after formal dinner and the cocktails were great. The staff on both sides was incredible as always.“

“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.“

“I found Eddie's last year & I will not go anywhere else now. Eddie is the best chef in town, & Brandie is the best hostess ever. The food is great, reasonable priced, & the portions are enormous.“

“We just live down the street and have been going here for years. Had a bad experiance with over cooked burgers earlier in the summer and quit going. Today we decided to give it another try and we are glad we did. Our burgers were cooked to perfection and huge, very juicy and tasty. The value is the best I've seen anywhere we've been lately. Definately will be back soon. The young man who waited on us was super also, very polite and fast!“

“This place was wonderful. I can't wait to come back with my kiddos. So many video games from years gone by, and board games too. The venue it is connected to is fantastic. Loved the atmosphere. If you are in need of quick good food, or have an afternoon to kill this spot is the place to go!“

“Anything I've ever tried off the menu here has been delicious. They have specials for each day and I recommend trying the special of the day. Also they make great drinks ! I recommend the Jamaican Mule, I get it every time, it's delicious. Food wise you can't go wrong. The owner throws down in the kitchen, especially with the seafood and burgers. Talk about good seasoning, everything's seasoned delightfully. My favorites so far are the Shrimp Quesadillas (Tuesday is quesadilla day) , their Summit Lake fries and every Friday is fish Friday with a great deal on yellow tailed perch fried to perfection. This place is tastier than any sit down restaurant in the area trust me. 10/10“

“Wow, was a little worried about ordering the Cuban black bean soup figuring it would be under flavored. It was not, it was absolutely perfect. I ordered a bowl with a side salad, which was also amazing and plenty of food for a 210 lbs man. We had a younger guy waiting our table and we were very happy with our service.“

“Absolutely incredible, I tried the traditional Mac and cheese because if you cannot get that right, when it comes to special Mac chances are that won’t be good either. I cannot wait to go back and try some of the other menu options. The staff is extremely friendly to top it all off! Glad to have you guys in the Falls, def something different! 👏🏼🙌🏼“

“Stop sleeping on this place. The food is amazing. Our bartender was the most amazing lady ever she was nice and friendly and our drinks were so good. we will be going back. I feel like there should be a bigger social media presence for this restaurant because our experience was a 10 out of 10.“

“Best diner food in Akron! Service is fast and the servers are wonderful. Always packed and the food is why. Short wait times because they are so quick. Can't beat the steak and eggs special on Saturdays. 💜“

“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.“

“Our Waiter Lamar was so amazing. Honestly he is one of a kind and loved having him. He was so kind, outgoing, attentive and hard working. He hands down made this visit better without expecting it. Thank you so much Lamar, may you stay blessed and I hope this gets to you 🙏🙏🙏“

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

“The service is always impeccable. The food is delicious and the employees all make it such a wonderful dining experience. We will continue to give The Merchant Tavern the highest recognition for this establishment.“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful dinner on October 7th with friends. This is the 4th visit to this restaurant, and each time has been very good. We have used the movie suites as well and enjoyed that experience. ON October 7th, our server Brittany was AWESOME, and we will request her in our future visits. Thanks for a great evening, Brittany!“

“BEST place for Breakfast in the PLX!!!!!“

“I’ve been there a few times with my family. The atmosphere and service were impressive, and outstanding. During our experiences there we had Andrea as our waitress. She was very attentive, prompt and always had a smile on her face. She was very friendly and it was apparent to me she really loved her job! I would strongly recommend Wally Waffle and don’t forget to ask for Andrea!“

“My husband and I got a night out on our own and ended up here. We started with the pickle fries and drinks. He had a peanut butter old fashion, and I went with the Dark & Stormy. I'm a fan of Gosling's Black Seal and was pleasantly surprised to see it on the menu. For our entrees, he got the Reuben and I had the Shroomin' Burger. We love seeing that they use The Farmer's Rail for their burgers - delicious, locally-raised meats. For dessert, I saw the creme brulee on the menu. it turned out to be a mango creme brulee! Such a delicate mango flavor, creamy, not overly sweet. Great service, great food... We'll definitely be back for nights out!“

“I organized our company holiday party here. The week prior I was out sick, with walking pneumonia, working remotely. I inadvertently switched the dates and our entire company showed up the night prior to our scheduled date! The FOH manager along with the chef, staff and other management team were able to rearrange their entire evening to make our event happen. I went from extremely panicked to beyond grateful in seconds. The dinner was a success. It goes to show the level of experience and professionalism Burntwood and myself are lucky to have! 10 out of 10!“

“Fantastic chefs table experience for our anniversary!!! 7 courses with wine pairings! Amazing service and food!!“

“This was our first time going and it was honestly so good! It’s super refreshing to find a restaurant that does breakfast but in a healthy way! I love that most dishes have avocado as an ingredient because of the health benefits. I personally cannot eat avocado due to an intolerance but my food was still amazing even when I took it out! I got the Eggs Benedict - BLT.. I don’t even have words to describe it. The greens were crunchy, the hollandaise sauce was citrusy, the eggs were perfectly jammy while my bread was beautifully toasted and the bacon and tomato just added to it. I got it with the side of potatoes and those were perfect. I will absolutely be coming back. Also, I’m not big on coffee at all, but their coffee is so amazing that I actually had to get a bag for home.“

“Our waiter Jackson was excellent from the time we arrived at our table until the time we left; I can't say enough good things gs about him. Overall our food was good, but I was disappointed in the pork chop dinner, which I have ordered many times in the past. This time the pork chop was thin , about 1/2 the thickness as usual. As such. It was also overcooked as thinner pork chops are difficult to cook. Otherwise, our food and drinks were great, but I do think the current pork chop size needs to be looked into.“

“Was driving back up from some activities when I got a real hankering for some classics. Called in and the person on takeout was extremely helpful(and patient) with my order and answering all my questions. Two of the new BIG Bangin Burgers, loaded mashed potatos(extra scallions) and a thing of mozzy sticks got me another 300 miles without stopping. Next time I'll make sure to grab some of the margarita's, from the description they are worth it!“

“I love Firehouse Tavern. It's so nice to have a good bar in the area that isn't one of the big chains. Great food, attentive staff, awesome happy hour menu, draft beers, specials, very reasonable prices. Copley needed a place like this.“

“Really quaint atmosphere and great food! The filet mignon sliders were excellent and the pear salad was delish!“
