50 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.

“Good food good prices. Will be a redo“

“Emily was an excellent server—very attentive and pleasant. Buffet was good but most items were cold and for a beef and ham entree option was expecting mashed or au gratin potatoes. I understand there was a potatoe option but the tray hadn't been refilled at the time we were in the buffet line. The line was organized and much quicker than past years. Excellent value for quality of food but would have been more enjoyable had the food been hot. Six people in our party were well satisfied but our server, Emily, made it an excellent experience.“

“Lexi was great! Food was delicious.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We are from out of town and stumbled upon Moe's by chance. The food was outstanding and the service was top notch. We drank Moehattans and while it is difficult to determine the highlight of our meal, it was probably the Calamari. Our server, Krissy, clearly loves what she does and her enthusiasm is contagious. She made recommendations and created a fun experience. We will definitely be back... Perhaps tomorrow!“

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

“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!“

“Food was great service was excellent 👍🏾👍🏾“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Nice service and good food.“

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

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

“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“

“Stopped in for lunch and did the Side salad, cup of soup combo. We had the Broccoli & Cheese soup and Chicken & Dumpling Soup. Both came out very hot, and tasted really good. Salads were fresh made and the homemade croutons were still warm....oh so good!! After ordering, food came out within 15 minutes so that was nice. Our server Danny was very friendly & efficient with checking on us for refills, etc... The combos are the way to go if you want to try a couple different items, but really everything they serve has generous portions!“

“Hosted my baby shower here and absolutely loved it. The private event space was perfect and intimate. Natural lighting in the room and balcony views were beautiful. Buffet food was great — everyone loved the chicken and the potatoes. Coordinating with Nate and Jessica leading up to the event was smooth. Day-of servers Audri and Marissa were attentive and pleasant. Entire crew was helpful and supportive. Highly recommend for hosting your next event.“

“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.“

“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.“

“this was my first time here, amazing“

“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“

“Great atmosphere. Nice cocktails. Awesome steak salad !!!!“

“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. 💜“

“First time there great experience“

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

“Met my niece here for dinner. She lives in Cuyahoga falls and I live in old Brooklyn. I searched places in Cuyahoga falls and chose this one. Neither one of us have ever been here. Frank was an awesome waiter and very helpful. I ordered the half chicken it was so delicious, that I ordered two to go for my 18 year old son and 14 year old daughter, they loved it also. We can’t wait to come back.“

“Our first time at the Lodge versus the Grille - food was superb, as always. The wagyu steak was flawless - rare inside with a beautiful, charred sear on the outside. The potato-crusted halibut is to die for, especially paired with the sauce and creamed corn. Great food, excellent service, cozy and rustic ambiance.“

“Had an excellent relaxing experience! Great burgers, great kid choices. Fresh batch seltzer was right up my alley! Great music and outdoor and indoor ambiance was worth the walk from the train station 🚉“

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