46 Best American Restaurants near Fairlawn

“Came in at the end of the day with 6 people. We thought it was open till 11pm. Got there at 815pm, they sat us and was very friendly. Food was delicious, service was fantastic. I felt guilty for coming in so late that I left her a hefty tip. They close at 9pm, we were out by 9:05pm. We made sure not to leave a mess.

“Lexi was great! Food was delicious.“

“We were on a small road trip and were looking for smaller nonchain restaurants to eat at and I found this on my google maps app. I felt the menu had something for everyone, we ordered the calamari and pot stickers to start off and then ordered the pork belly tacos and beet salad for our meal. Everything was delicious. I was very impressed with the variety of the menu while still keeping it short and sweet. Our server, Truman was very knowledgeable of the items on the menu and was very helpful in helping us decide what we wanted to order. I definitely will go back to this restaurant if we are in the area.“

Thank you for all you do.“

“5 stars. .“

“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!“

“Love this place. Only have come for lunch, but I have never been disappointed with anything I have gotten here. I mainly get from the appetizer list since the main food portions are more than I can eat at lunch I got the small Caesar salad with bacon and egg, absolutely delicious. The mushroom ravioli with goat cheese sauce and tomatoes was so very satisfying, perfectly seasoned, and just the right amount of acidity. My husband almost always gets the crab cake sandwich with the house made potato chips and peppercorn dip. One day I’m going to have to try it ( fair warning it’s a big sandwich) ended the meal with the bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Warm and slightly sweet caramel sauce and a burst of cinnamon rounded out the meal“

“If you go here and eat their fish and listen to Wayne Dyer while you eat it all of your dreams will come true.“

“Dean and his wife have made this a true 5 star restaurant in ambiance, food,dress and yes price. And we'll worth it. I was not expecting this in Akron Ohio this is Palm Beach, NY, London quality five star so be ready. it's our go to when I'm in town. The bar is also an Oasis.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“Great food and large portions. cash only accepted.“

“Derek was amazing! We placed a large order to take to our Swensons obsessed family in Charleston, SC. He and the kid who was shadowing him were very accommodating and even double wrapped our order so it would be ok for the 1.5 hour flight!!! (Did you know Galley Boys can fly too)? Thank you guys so much. You just made so many people happy with the extra effort. And the new Larder Burger was so delicious. It’s October Fest for the tastebuds. Once again you guys came through with style, flavor and customer service. We will be back again.“

“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.“

“Dined at Fisher's last nite . Food and service was good as usual ! Was surprised by a 2.5% Credit Card Fee !!! Do give a discount for Cash ? As a retired retailer I find this in poor taste !!! I always consider this a cost of doing business!!!“

“SO DELICIOUS 😋 WE LOVE WINKING LIZARD !!!!“

“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!“

“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“

“Amazing food, really clean, nice atmosphere. The server was so sweet and on it. Can’t wait to go back“

“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! 👏🏼🙌🏼“

“Love this place. Great food and drinks!“

“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. 💜“

“Nice service and good food.“

“Food was really good, but the service was even better! We had the privilege of having Gracie wait on us and she was super nice, and patient as she answered all our questions. If I were to recommend one thing, I say go for the onion rings! Fresh, hot, crunchy and not greasy at all. It's definitely a place we will be coming back to.“

“Absolutely delicious chef specials on Thursdays! Will definitely be back!“

“this was my first time here, amazing“

“The 6 of us had a great lunch“

“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.“

“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!“

“VERY disappointed. Ordered a salad with chicken & the chicken was awful. It's as if the cook rummaged thru the frig & found some leftovers to throw on. It wasn't grilled - wasn't white,chicken breast...I dared not eat the- whatever it was. Ate the veggies only for $17 plus tip :-c“

“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 🙏🙏🙏“

“Food was Good. Service was Excellent. Our waiter, Fernando did a great job. This was our 2nd visit. With all this being said, we feel the Prices are to High. We can get better food at Longhorn, for 1/3 of the cost. Money wasn’t the issue. Food and Atmosphere were just okay for the money. Service was by far the BEST. THX FERNANDO.“

“Love to stop in for quick bite or a fun drink. Happy Hour is the best. The patio and deck are great in warmer temps. Great craft beer list.“

“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“

“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’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.
