“I have gone there once a week for the last three weeks and the hamburgers are always cold. We had burgers today and all three of us got cold burgers today. The other people in the car did like the milkshakes though.“

“We loved it here and will be back. It is close to some of our favorite hikes in the National Park and dog friendly. We really enjoyed our food and the service was great... quick, polite and helpful. Nothing like a delicious healthy meal after a nice hike with the family. There were meat options in addition to vegetarian , so something for everyone. A bar with good beers on tap, but too!“

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

“Wow! A hidden gem! First, very clean, friendly wait staff, interesting decor. Second, breakfast served all day. Third, the menu items were simple, nothing fancy here, but really good food! Prices? I’d say slightly lower than average. I paid $10 for Cornbeef hash, and that came with 3 eggs, and potatoes plus two slices of toast! Plus the CBH was not greasy! Try this place!“

“The pulled pork nachos, baked beans & Mac n cheese & Cheesy fries are AMAZING 🔥“

“I tried a beer flight first to see what I liked, and ended up getting the vegan burger! It was made with chickpeas I think (not in-house) but was yummy and had vegan cheese. I think they also have vegan flatbread and you could get the pretzel without cheese! Beer and vibes are great!“

“Food, drinks and service! FABULOUS!“

“Papa Roni’s pizza catered our rehearsal dinner! They catered to every need we had including risers, flatwear, serving tongs, etc… everyone loved the pizza and we were so happy with how everything turned out! Thanks Papa Roni’s!“

“I imagine most people have their favorite or go to pizza and I am no different. Unfortunately being a Clevelander it isn't very convenient for me to get my favorite pizza which is in Cleveland being that I live in Akron now. If you look up any typical search in Akron for best pizza de Checo's Pops up somewhere in the list. I know a couple of other folks you're in Akron that also love pizza and they Also gave honorable mention to Decheco's. I Head several different pizzas from locations around the area In which one or two Stands out and the rest are Good too above average; Anyway, I decided one evening on the way home to try these folks' pizza. No I have to say that it was the day before the holiday and an hour Before they closed but I ordered just a pepperoni and sausage pizza in which The service was Good but when I got home I wasn't very happy with the pizza Couple of different reason I Here as at this point it's not necessary. I did The need to leave a review because I was extremely disappointed Which to my surprise was met by very thoughtful response from the owner as well as a gesture for an amount off of my next purchase. I found that to be very respectable and given that there's nothing but good reviews and my lousy timing I decided to give it a go again. I even went back to the same shop that I got my first pie from And I have Extremely pleased that I did so. I can't yet say that I have a new favorite but I will say at this point I will be back as everything about your establishment from the way you handled a disappointed First time, pizza loving, customer On through follow up order which I have to say was fantastic. The pizza was cooked to perfection the toppings were on point & the ingredients are of quality origin. I Just want to say thank you once again to the owner and thank you to the folks in your S. Main St. store for doing a great job. Certainly have mastered your craft. I will surely be back and I will let others know What a great experience I had.Thanks again Decheco's.“

“Handel’s was very helpful in helping me pick out a cone for the kids that they will love.“

“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 🚉“

“Our favorite breakfast spot. Today we had Madeleine as our waitress and she did a great job!🌻“

“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!“

“Excellent food, creative brews, and a gorgeous yet comfortable environment without pretentious personalities. Gotta check it out for the low key vibes!“

“Beautiful venue & the staff treat you like family. Fabulous vendors. Food trucks were top notch. 3 days filled with sunshine and the guests were amazing! THANK YOU FOR A GREAT WEEKEND~ Blastmaster62 aka Vincent Tirpak & Cindy Tirpak“

“We had a party of 12. This was a family get together. We had two servers, shame on me can’t remember their names, they were attentive and we wanted for nothing. The food was phenomenal and service was the same! This place is beautiful and cozy! I highly recommend ❤️“

“Great brewery with excellent selection of fresh beer on tap. We Love the pepperoni pizza. Great atmosphere. Amazing service.“

“Very interesting place. Vibe is probably not for everybody, but it's good to see (and hear) something different. Can't really comment on the food, as we ordered fish off the spring seasonal menu. Will try something off regular menu when we return. Did enjoy the deviled eggs! I'm excited to see what they have in store for the Valley - maybe they picked up a few R Shea beer recipes they can put their spin on?“

“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.“

“The coffee beer was wonderful!“

“9-1-23 Went to AWok told them last time I was there the egg rolls were burnt. He said that happens I said that’s not so. . I always order same thing. He said he’d give me credit for 1 egg roll. I said then I only want 1. I said that is wrong. He said you don’t have to come back. GREAT PR. That guy was a class A number 1 jerk. Should not be working with the public. Food has always been good. Except the burnt egg rolls. If he treated everyone like that you wouldn’t have any business.“

“Let me start off by saying I do not like coffee but have always wanted to enjoy it. A friend brought me here back in 2019 and had me to try a Bonfire. I have been absolutely hooked since. I will drive for 20 minutes plus to go get an amazing coffee from here. Not to mention the amazing pastries. Y’all need to open a location in the Green/Canton area!“

“The only word I have for this place is, “Genius.” They smoked their tofu, created a spicy stout that stays with you in a pleasant way to continue that classic stout after taste and this place has a full vegan menu for those watching their cholesterol. What a killer place. Well there’s word numero dos… “Killer.” 10/10 would poop here again.

Edit: Adding a more serious opinion. This place is specific to their beer menu. Review it before coming in. As a brewer and past wine/brew supplies salesman I would say these beers are artisan and if that’s not for you, consider understanding that before you enter. Mostly stouts and darks, Christmas styles and the like. Unique beyond all means. I had a winter beer that felt like a warm blanket by the fire as I drank it. So if this IS for you, then I’d highly recommend getting in and exploring these beers. I believe the world beer cup has listed several of their beers as “best in the world” and I would agree.“

“Great place.. good beer .. yummy food“

“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.“

“No Swenson's near our home. Visited the Akron Swenson's on Hawkins Ave. Brock and Andrew did a great job of serving us.“

“We stopped here after a full day at the Oktoberfest and I am so glad we did. This is like the modern day Cheers! We instantly felt at home at the bar while enjoying all of the great beers on tap. Will definitely stop again if we ever make our way back to the falls.“

“On Thursday night there is a trio of fun bartenders , Allie , Micaela, and Monica. Always in a great mood and very attentive to your needs. The food is top notch sports bar type and well prepared. The selections are across the board and have never had a bad meal.“

“Excellent food and service!!!“

“I come to Hoppin Frog once a month because of the beer and the people. Real talk, I meet a new person here every Friday Happy Hour that rocks. Bartenders rock, give great recommendations and always room to take beers home. Shout out to Tatianna!“

“Great food and service will come back.“

“Excellent food with a creative menu. No worries for. those that must have gluten free.“

“Neat little place with a natural brick wall and Star Wars paraphernalia. I had the liquid therapy which is a IPA and bad motivator which was a really good stout. Others had beer flights and enjoyed most of the beers but the food was mediocre and overpriced.. The pretzels are made from spent grain. Very good tasting but you will get shaft in your teeth. Server was very pleasant but not very attentive. Had to remind her about items missing from our order.“

“Stopped by for carry-out lunch. The restaurant was pretty empty and the outside looked like it was closed however, the food was much better than expected! Got a 2 meat 2 side combo for $11 or so and it was delicious. I’d go back again. The Honey Chicken was my favorite“

“Best ribs in Ohio hands down!“

“We loved the pork shank with lobster mac n cheese!! It was super delicious and so tender!The lobster ravioli was just okay. The taste was okay and the serving was not huge enough to justify its price. The new England clam chowder was delicious too! The calamari is just average. The restaurant building and the road outside were under construction, so we were confused where the restaurant entrance door was when we arrived. We didn't have any reservations, but we were seated right away. There were only two staff members serving everyone. Not sure if that's a regular thing. Waiting time for orders to be served was a little long but worth the wait. The women bathroom was a little dirty and tissues are all used up, no other tissues were there to use. Overall, we were happy with the food. We even got the CLAMS AN OLD SAILORS Way order to take home with us. Will probably be back just for the food, and maybe just do a takeout instead of dining in.“

“CHINA STAR IS FINALLY OPEN WOOHOO!!! I'VE BEEN DYING TO TASTE THEIR GENERAL TSO' CHICKEN AND BOURBON CHICKEN AGAIN!!! JUST ORDERED TODAY, AND THE FOOD TASTE AMAZING LIKE ALWAYS!! THEIR EGGROLLS ARE TO DIE FOR! I WAS WORRIED THAT THE PEOPLE THERE WOULD BE DIFFERENT, BUT WHEN I GOT THERE, I REALIZED I WAS WORRYING FOR NOTHING. THEY WERE STILL THE SAME PEOPLE I LOVE ❤️“

“Pizza and beer. Beer and pizza. Need I say more?

But I will. They offer quite a bit of Italian fare. There are no servers, and you need to go to the food counter and order. They will bring your food to your table. We ordered three different styles pizzas. Butter crust, a deep dish, and a thin crust. All came out of the kitchen in no time and were hot to order. I did like the sauce. There are quite a few pizza choices plus sandwiches, pastas, salads, and appetizers. Our food this night was pretty good.

Now the beer. You get a wristband and tap the beer tap before pouring. It will keep track of the size of the pour and charge you accordingly. I didn't count, but there are probably around 25 choices of brew on tap. I had a few of the taps sputter, so I did not get a full pour, but that was OK. It meant I could sample more styles.

The indoor seating is nice. Most are high tops. They also have a large outdoor patio area with a fire pit if you choose. The staff are friendly and continued to check on us, removing plates, getting us take home boxes, answering questions, and overall, they were attentive to our needs.“

“I picked up my food from their drive in windows, and the owners' son (maybe 12) was helping and was incredibly polite and kind and it made my day. Food as always was abundant and delicious. My wife's favorite Chinese restaurant did not disappoint at all.“

“Food was good. There was no wait time to be seated but it did seem like it took a while to get a server. Though the server was nice she seemed to be having an off day. Food was brought out but we had to ask for silverware as they forgot to bring us some.“
