“This is a hidden gem. If I could give 10/10 I would. Just had the best burger of my life. Service with Erica was amazing and the food was just as good. Prices were fair and honest as well. Even with it being busy, Erica took the time and explained things like we were the only ones there. Can’t wait to go back!“
“Long time customer. Usually a bar side patron with excellent service from Ambur and the rest of the bartenders. Sat restaurant side last night with Carol as our waitress and had one of the best experiences ever. Great food and phenomenal service. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.“
“My experience here was nothing short of phenomenal. Our server Madeline was wonderful. The only reason that I'm not going back is because I just don't have that type of money to throw around. For those that have it, I highly recommend this place.“
“Food is quite delicious and the oysters the one's I consumed were fresh. Service is ok. Maybe a bit more friendly. I'm not a regular though. Ambiance is a bit distracting and different music can be a bit loud. I've only been there a few times. However I do continue to go back. Check it out for yourself. I would say it's worth it.“
“Our next DIS Local Spotlight takes us right into the heart of Downtown Akron to DeJuan's Downtown AkronDeJuans is located at 1 W Exchange St Ste 100 in Akron Ohio and is occupying the building that formally housed Bricco. There is also a Valet service available for $7.DeJuan’s was realized in a time of need, a need for a turkey pepperoni pizza. Founder and Owner, De’Juan Kelker was in search of a turkey pepperoni pizza and to his disbelief, local pizza shops did not offer turkey pepperoni. He was stirred to open a restaurant that would serve those with selective palates and diets and offer ALL TURKEY EVERYTHING. The unique concept made way for him to acquire the Downtown property, once frequented by many locals, and continue his personal preference of fine dining.DeJuan's is also making history with becoming Akrons very first black-owned fine-dining restaurant. To say I was excited to try this restaurant was an understatement. Let's get into it.First off the decor, aesthetic and atmosphere are breathtaking. Large glass windows look out onto the city while inside you're surrounded by brick and open industrial ceiling. The space gives vibes of upscale yet accessible without ever being pretentious. The color scheme is black and white which is just elegant enough. The space is also lit very well which I appreciate.The staff is out of this world. DeJuans may just have some of the best service in the country and that's not hyperbole. From greeting us at the front door, to our server Diamond who was world class, the experience was perfect. Our drinks never got less than half empty and Diamond gave excellent recommendations and made sure our experience was one of a kind. There was also a party of maybe 12 people behind us and he gave them the same kind of service. Very impressive.For starters we got the Turkey Chop Bites and the Southern Fried Green Tomatoes.Turkey Chop Bites are pieces of turkey breast that are cut up and then lightly battered and fried. When I tell you my mouth is STILL watering from these things. So insanely juicy and crunchy. They would be good as a Po Boy or in a wrap but they were great by themselves.The Fried Green Tomatoes were also perfectly fried and topped with a shrimp salad that was really tasty. Diamond recommended we try it with hot sauce and that was the right move.For Mains we got the NY Strip and the Turkey Burger.The steak was cooked perfectly and was seasoned so well with salt, pepper and garlic butter. It was so tender and cut like butter. The taste from the grill was also extremely flavorful. There's not much more to say because it was literally perfect.The Turkey Burger was a surprise. Given the size of the patty I expected it to be on the dry side. I was pleasantly surprised it was not dry at all. Beautifully seasoned and complimented by the garlic Aioli and the sweetness of the caramelized onions, this burger was DELICIOUS. I could definitely see myself ordering this again.For dessert I got a slice of cheese cake and figured it would just be a normal slice you get anywhere.Guys... It's not. They take a slice of delicious cheesecake and then they blow-torch the outside so it creates like this crust on the exterior. That process kind of softens the cheesecake and makes it almost melty and creamy. LORD HAVE MERCY. I almost ordered another one. So simple yet so amazing.Folks.. if you haven't noticed by now, I don't know what else to say. DeJuans lives up to the hype. It's worth every penny and more.This is one of those places that I'm truly hoping you make reservations and try as soon as you can. Not only is it important for us to support black owned businesses, but it's important we support GOOD businesses as well. Trust me. I won't steer you wrong.“
“I've been telling my family that this is my favorite restaurant for the last two years. I finally got to take my dad here. He tried the veal scallopini and loved it. He said wow with every bite. I love trying their specials every month. There is a reason why this place is always packed and why I keep returning. It's amazing.“
“My husband and I were not disappointed with drinks, food, and Deborah was great. We didn't have a long wait on our food. He had seafood gumbo, lots of shrimp, I had salmon w/potatoes and green beans, key lime pie and cornbread creme brulee, all “
“Small and cozy with excellent food. The service was excellent. I had the fish fry and my wife had a pear salad with Salmon. The Salmon was cooked to perfection and very tasty. The food was all presented nicely on the plates, especially the dessert. Definitely will go back.“
“Only thing which is only minor was all the food was thrown or put away almost 2hrs before the posted closed time of 11pm. Very understandable if business is slowed, so definitely not a knock as they still did accommodate us and fresh hot plantains as well. Only suggest fixing hours on Google or something on profile to state such as a heads up. Other than that blessings an get the food bussin.“
“Went to Wise Guys this evening with a group of seven. We didn't have a reservation, but from the moment we walked in they couldn't be nicer. Jodie and Jo were the best. They rembered our names and were fantastic. The atmosphere, food and service were the best we experienced. All our orders were very tasty. Cudos to the kitchen and bar staff.“
“Updating this to a 5 star after our visit last night. Under new ownership you can tell everyone enjoys working there. Food & drinks were great, and the owner gave us a tour of the Speakeasy, which is open on the weekends. I highly recommend stopping by. We ate at the bar, cheers!“
“We went there Saturday for the first time, and from the service, to the cleanliness to the food, everything was PERFECT! We had the perogies and mozzarella sticks for appetizers, they were awesome! Between the 4 of us we had pork chops, open face roast beef sandwich and the lasagna and all of us LOVED our meals. We can't wait to go back!!! Highly recommended!!!!“
“You will never have a bad meal or bad service at Lala's. Once again, the food was incredible, and the service was top notch. I recommend blue cheese on it if you're getting a steak, but you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Keep up the great work Lala's! We'll definitely be back.“
“Food is amazing... price per pound on take out is very reasonable, and sit in price of buffet is right on point for food... food was steaming when walking in and stayed warm all the way for the drive home.. gentleman behind the counter is nice and helpful and will fulfill your request if possible (wanted non spicy orange chicken)... will be my go to place from now on...“
“Everything was good from start to finish. Well worth the trip up from Cleveland while on the way to see a concert in the Akron area. The atmosphere and staff attentiveness were right up there with some other great ones we've visited. Sarah rocked!“
“03/28/2024 I had the pleasure of celebrating my son's birthday at Brix 31, and I must say it was a perfect night! From the moment we entered, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The food at Brix 31 was absolutely excellent. Each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, resulting in a burst of flavors that left our taste buds dancing with joy. The service was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed and more. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, making us feel like valued guests throughout the evening. Overall, I highly recommend Brix 31 for any special occasion or simply for a memorable dining experience. It truly exceeded our expectations and left us with beautiful memories to cherish.“
“Really good American food! There is a great little cocktail menu full of tasty drinks at reasonable price. The dishes are good and include steaks, chops, chicken, and seafood platter. You must order the French Onion soup as it is really delicious! Great sandwich menu as well with Reuben and seafood Reuben.. Service is great and the servers are exceptional...“
“Sat quickly in a busy setting, server was fantastic, gave optimal time for the menu, drinks as soon as we sat.Appetizer was great, the salad with the dinner was meh, but I'm not a salad person anyway. Dinner was absolutely great. Everything came out quick for a Friday night. Well put together, great texture and taste. A repeat visit forsure.“
“Great food..great service..a little more expensive, but I have never had a bad meal at the Ido!Parking: They have a parking lot, and you can park behind the building across Ido..street parking also available. Many times it is hard to find a spot!!“
“The food is really good at Chowder House. The entrees are over priced. My husband ordered the cioppino and there was very little there and it was very expensive. More than it should cost for the quantity - and more than it would cost in other restaurants for the same quantity/quality. The seafood pappardelle is very good and very rich - a little goes a long way. The service isn't great. Nearly every time a server walked by our table one of them bumped my chair. Maybe they're trying to squeeze too many tables in. With a few tweaks this good be a really good place. If I go back I will get two apps and leave it at that. Maybe we were there on a mediocre night. It's probably worth a try.“
“My husband and I went there for the first time a tuesday. We did not opt in for the all-you-can-eat. I had the slow roasted pork chop, which was huge, tender, and delicious. My husband, opted for the Cod. He didn't have much to say about the cod. As an appetizer we had the pork belly it was scrumptious. As my side with the pork chop I had the green beans which were well seasoned came out hot and were delicious. A little pricey, but I think next time we go I will get a steak, after all, it is a steakhouse. I recommend giving it a try. Our server kept the table cleared as we finished dishes, kept my husband's iced tea full. I had the Manhattan. Only thing I can offer is to invest in a brand of cherries called "filthy cherries" (expensive, but worth every dollar) and it will bring the Manhattan up to the next level.Parking: Plenty of open parking in front and in a sidelot.“
“Visited on a Saturday evening. First time there and our waitress Stephanie was amazing as she explained how to order the boil and seasoning and spice level. The result was perfect! I am also kinda new to sushi and she also recommended 2 perfect options. The place was clean, ambiance nice, parking convenient and price was in line with what i would expect. This will definitely be a stop when we are downtown Akron in the future. Oh and the drink selection was very good also if that is your thing.“
“We have been here a few times and consistently enjoyed the food. It is not somewhere we take our kids because they aren't into seafood and would get some basic fried food which isn't worth it in our opinion. The gems are the boils. We typically get the head off shrimp + lobster tail boils, my husband adds sausage to his. It costs around $36 each but is two meals for each of us. Hot tip, make some noodles, and turn your leftovers into a pasta dish with the amazing sauce/seasoning!It has not been very busy when we go, but the servers are a little absent. Never seem to get water refills.Parking: Huge free lot in the shopping center.“
“Great staff! Great location, right on the water! Love the food! My favorites are the Mango Guacamole and I add corn, huge portion! I also love the Ceviche, Queso Fundido, and the ground beef tacos add pico de gallo. Margaritas and Paloma are excellent too! I have met friends here a lot! Keep up the great work!“
“First time visiting but Pitchfork has been on my list since opening. Given the Farmer's Rail track record, my expectations were set for a great experience and the team did not disappoint! Everything was exceptional, service, atmosphere and especially the food. Starting with my Black Walnut Manhattan, continuing with amazingly unique appetizers, to the taste bud satisfaction of the main course, I am looking forward to my next visit.“
“Shrimp po boy was outstanding!Normally, I would never drive into Barberton to carry out lunch as it is 15 min each way. The reviews were just so good, could it be that good? Why didn't anyone tell me about this great seafood carryout in Barberton?It is the real deal, I will definitely go back...probably this weekend. I do not know why it is where it is, however, it is worth the trip!“
