Restaurants in Kent

“What a pleasant surprise. Food was excellent, server was awesome, the house margarita was delicious, and the live music on the outdoor patio was so enjoyable. It seemed like I was on vacation.”

“We had the most amazing Mother’s day brunch. We didn’t have reservations and they accommodated us on the spot. The food was way beyond expectations and the service was awesome! It was a pleasure meeting the owner! My son goes to college there and we cannot wait to eat there again!”

“Forget the brisket sandwich, terrible. Burnt edges and overcooked. Sauce too thick and not tasty Club sandwich was superb. Gyros was average, packaged meat.”

“Beckwith orchards is a wonderful family owned business that has incredible produce and interesting items to parruse the store while you get your fresh baked pies or cookies! A must go place !”

“Every moment there is Awesome 🤙”

“Went with my In-laws this past Friday. The parking was awkward making it difficult to exit to the front of the building. The food, drinks and service were top notch. However, I thought the 3% up charge for using a credit card vs cash to pay the bill was a bit petty due to the already inflated menu prices. This left me wondering; why the owner thought it was more important to cover their $5 cost at the expense of me returning again?”

“The River Merchant is 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”

“The sushi variety was incredible! Definitely returning soon!”

“Lee Angelo’s has made Mad Cap a must destination.”

“Love this place. The 18+ taps of fresh beer is incredible. The food is the best in kent for all being made from scratch and the bar program is off the hook!”

“I worked at Henry's for a few years while in college in the late 1980s. 🙃
Trust me, after working in any restaurant, if it wasn't top notch, I definitely wouldn't even think about returning. Needless to say, I have been eating there for decades.
Henry's still ages and cuts it's own steaks. Massive portions. Choice quality that you can't buy at the grocery store.
It's kinda funny that most everyone working there was working there when I was and most have barely aged...
Highly recommended.”

“The staff is very friendly, there are so many choices on the menu. you can dine inside or on the covered outdoor patio which is pet friendly.”

“I remember this from back in my college days. It was one of the most popular bars and had great pizza. It has changed over the years but is still a popular watering hole due to the great beer prices.”

“All the arcade games are free and the atmosphere is great. DJ and dancing is awesome too”

“so the folks who were working were doing their best to keep up with an Hour wait. lack of help it seemed! They kept their cool. Food and our waiter were both great. Mango Habbie and a Conways beer!”

“Ordered for the first time and we were not disappointed! Veggies were fresh and crisp, banh mi bread was perfect and sandwiches had big flavor, spring rolls and bao buns were both fantastic! We WILL be back OFTEN!!”

“Love this place. The barbeque is stellar. It's kind of old school selling out of the trailer. But that's a good thing.”

“Ordered beer. Price not anything close to what was on menu and wall poster. Been to Mike's for decades Very disappointed. Probably won't be back. Sad to see false advertising.”

“If you’ve never had their blueberry coffee, you need to correct that. It’s amazing”

“My husband and I ate lunch here today. It was our first visit. Everything was delicious! Falafel, grape leaves, beef shawarma, and chicken kebabs. The seasonings were perfection, and all the food was so fresh. We will definitely be back.”

“Best pizza west of Philadelphia”

“Stopped in to visit with a friend. The coffee was excellent, the vibe was chill and I loved it…”

“Great pizza and AMAZING lavender shortbread cookies.”

“Best Mexican Restaurant and servers are Great, Food is wonderful”

“The tacos were so delicious”

“Great quality and generous portion sizes. So happy to have this close to me in Lakewood.”

“the "Best" Mexican food I've had! Cheap drink specials! Clean!”

“The potato au gratin soup is divineeeee, the employees were so sweet and had amazing suggestions, the music was great. I have no notes for this establishment, 10/10. I will 100% be coming back for more!!”

“Ordered large pepperoni pizza, traditional wings and a pepperoni roll. 1st time customer. Wow! Everything was amazing. Wings were like fried chicken (we got naked wings) and they were amazing! Didn’t even use the side of sauce. The pepperoni roll was packed with cheese and pepperoni and the crust was buttery and crispy golden brown. Pizza was amazing, loved the fluffy buttery crust and the pepperoni on top of the cheese was curled with crispy edges. May have found a new pizza place favorite! Can’t wait to try more items from the menu!”

“Great service, food, and atmosphere! staff is extremely friendly too! it has been a while since the last time I had eaten here and I was definitely not disappointed.”

“They are very friendly and the prices are great and the bobba tea amazingly amazing”

“Great food. Love looking at all the detailed woodwork.”

“I Love their food. I've tried several different items here and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend it.”

“Daisy Pops is the cutest cake pop shop I have ever seen! I originally heard about them on the radio and knew I had to stop. I had one of their spring specials, a cinnamon roll cake pop. It was almost too cute to eat but I'm so glad I ate it because it was delicious! The staff was incredibly kind, helpful and super friendly!”

“This has become a comfort food spot. I love the fried dumplings the most! She is always changing out the menu, so there's always something new to try.”

“Why does anyone think this is good chicken? I got it last week for the first time and was not impressed. It was greasy had almost no flavor and their dipping sauce is disgusting. If it were crispy and there were additional sauces to choose from it would be tolerable. Considering its overpricedand very underwhelming I will not be back. Also if the chicken "fingers" were any smaller they should be called nuggets.”

“Great family owned business great staff awesome food and very welcoming environment! Highly recommended!”

“Great Service, Knowledgeable Staff, and Tons of Fun!

I recently visited Bottles 101, and I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. Craig and the crew are exceptionally knowledgeable about the wide range of beers and cocktails they offer. Whether you're a beer enthusiast or a cocktail connoisseur, they know their stuff and can recommend something perfect based on your preferences. The service is top-notch, friendly, and efficient, making the whole experience enjoyable. And don't forget the free popcorn—Craig has been working for years to perfect it, and it's the perfect snack to pair with your drinks! Plus, they now offer shuffleboard, which is a ton of fun and adds a great extra element to the experience. If you're looking for a great place to unwind with excellent drinks, fantastic service, and a bit of friendly competition, this spot is definitely worth checking out!”

“Fun spot to hang. Good crew and good brew.”

“One of my favorite places in Kent 💖🧋 They have the best bubble tea, an extensive menu, friendly owners, adorable and comfortable atmosphere, and so much more. I love this place with all my heart!!!!”

“Food is delicious! Service was exceptional. Since it was my first experience with Indian food, the waiter was very helpful with my selection of meal. Thank you so much for everything. It was an awesome experience.”

“I love this place and visit regularly. The food could use some attention because they don't have consistent hours where the menu is available. Stopped in at 7 and was not able to order once-- what?! But outside of that, all the bartenders are amazing! I do miss Kim and Krista. Morgan, Jake, and the others great still. I really love the patio and the laid back atmosphere. They have a good pour and good vibes!! Great little spot in Kent! <3 <3 <3”

“They have great food, but they raised the prices to a point we won't go back! $3.50 for a cup of coffee! Our breakfast bill used to be around $20, last Sunday the same breakfast bill was $30+! We get the same thing every time! Will miss the wait staff, but can't afford to go back!”

“This place is awesome. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The artichoke sub is my favorite sandwich at the moment. Adding mushrooms and banana peppers makes it perfect. Unfortunately, their website won't allow ordering those additions, so ordering in the store is necessary. But it's worth the hassle.”

“Absolutely Fantastic Fresh top quality food. ! If you are in the area .. PLEASE Try this wonderful restaurant 😋”

“Cute place in a mostly secluded spot. I love the simplicity of the inside and the front deck area is awesome! lots of fun beer and other drinks to choose from. I had the "Fruity Pebbles" slushy, Yum!”

“Great local, neighborhood bar. Good Service and pool tables.”

“it's a beautiful little restaurant and our waitress was wonderful. my friend ordered the mango curry and enjoyed it very much, but I was personally unimpressed with my food. i ordered the crazy noodles, and while the taste was good, the noodles were just disintegrating as I tried to pick them up. the jasmine tea I got was not very flavorful, had a little dusty note.

Dietary restrictions: they very intentionally ask for allergies when you order so they can be careful in their food prep”

“I come here 1-2 times a week and I've never had a bad experience. They remember my name, my order, and often bring it directly to my table. It can get busy when school is on so I try to be there as early as possible to miss most of the college crowd but there are a good amount of tables and outlets.”

“Had doubts but man... A f fabulous do try highly recommended”

“Great!”

“Went for lunch, different location than my usual one. The parking side of things is different and can be a pain to get out but food and service were fantastic which is not surprising for me as the food is always great at rocknes”

“Great food at great prices! And tasty cocktails too!”

“My wife and I brought some international students from Kent State to 5 Guys to experience some of the best burgers in town! They don’t disappoint!”

“Amazing treats and staff!! Our family’s favorite ice cream place!”

“Pulled up for a Mexi Mocha, left with a flower, emotional whiplash, and the urge to hug a stranger. Barista said Happy Mother’s Day and my cold little heart did a somersault. 10/10—this drink is my new emotional support system.”

“Never ate here before and was very impressed. Very friendly staff and super fast service. Very clean seating area even though it was small. Food was amazing. Highly recommended.”

“Sweet potato sushi, they didn't put any of that brown sauce on top, no sesame seeds either, so the sushi was average, not the crack sushi I'm seeking. Soup was hot, that was good.”

“Great place to eat and service is fast”

“Food was great and staff attentive! 💖”

“Stahl's pays attention to the details and their products are excellent. They have treats no one else offers. They care about their customers and the community. Keep up the good work and God Bless!”

“we ordered deep dish pizza a few weeks ago it was delish. Tonight we ordered a quesadilla and sub and should have ordered pizza. burnt and not much in either.”

“Good yummy ice cream , i got soft serve custard on a waffle cone and it was dipped in chocolate”

“I had went into this Subway to order a meatball sub, I know I had to use the bathroom but not so soon, I thought nothing of it until I had noticed this homeless looking man leave the bathroom 5 minutes prior, I had went into the bathroom and laid my eyes upon this sickening discovery. Luckily one of the nicest workers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting named Ryan cleaned this up so quick and efficiently, I watched him get on all fours and lick it inside out till there was no spot left, even being so selfless as to crease his Jordan 1's. I never got my meatball sub but this astounding service couldn't go unnoticed.

Parking: Great!”

“Great place to hang out with friends and listen great music like The Immortal Porpoises.”

“This is not a fancy place, but the food was excellent! I got the Triple burrito (delicious) and my husband got the steak rice bowl. The helping were generous and the prices are reasonable. We will go back next time we’re in town!”

“After a long hot day, we stopped for dinner through the drive-thru. Got the 2 for 7 large fries and a large shake for $15.00. The meal and value were exceptionally good.”

“The food here is fantastic, however the service is slower here as there is generally only 1 person running the counter and tables. If you are patient it is worth the wait for authentic Chinese cooking.”

“This place is amazing! It was our first time tonight! The fried pickles appetizer was fantastic! Loving these $6 burgers on Tuesdays! The burgers & fries are delish! My son had very unique mac n cheese! He also had a very creamy milkshake! For dessert, we built our own cookies! We will definitely be back! Thanks for a delicious dinner!”

“This place was amazing! we were so thankful to find out they offered gluten free subs! that is awesome when you have 2 out of 5 people in your family with Celiacs Disease. they do not have a kids meal gluten free bread though, but they still gave us the kids price. it was seriously such a blessing because you cant order food for everyone and tell the 6 year old too bad you cant eat here. we appreciated that they also sold gluten free cookies to go with the kids meal! seriously, this place is amazing and we do plan on returning.”

“I’m a new customer, and I am SO impressed! Great staff! Fresh, Fantastic tasting food! Low prices! Top level customer service! I had questions on the menu and each time I have ordered from Marcos now I have received a lot of information on how I can create customized food options to fit my diet! I’m so impressed by the friendly and thoughtful staff! Thank you Emma!

Vegetarian options: There are so many vegetarian and/or vegan options I was thrilled!

Dietary restrictions: I am diabetic and Emma took the time to explain all the various ways I could order different pizza and other foods from Marcos while still complying with my diet! Great personalized service!”

“5 out of 4 stars! Yes I said that right.”

“I had a great experience here despite a little hiccup. The kitchen ran out of rice and my order ended up taking much longer than expected. But the staff was upfront, very apologetic, and made it right. Mistakes happen, and I really appreciate when a restaurant owns up to it and takes care of their customers. I’ll definitely be coming back! Also super good food. Good job Barrio Tacos.”

“a Kent institution with an inclusive vibe. great place!”

“It was OK. I got a seseme seed bagel & a cinnamon cranberry bagel. Couldn't taste the seseme seed one. I mean it was utterly tasteless. And they charge for butter. Who charges for a pat of butter? At least give 1 per bagel. The cinnamon cranberry bagel was good, though. For a place with Bagel in their name the choices are very few compared with other shops. The coffee is good. The shop is nice. Felt chilly with those cold air vents on the floor right next to the seats so I went upstairs and it felt nice. Use to visit when it was Starbucks.”

“For fast food Chinese its pretty good.. we always get the chow main as a side dish. And usually the orange chicken,and a beef dish. Crab Rangoon are good. Would be better with a plum dipping sauce vs their sweet and sour. But for 2 people to eat for under $25.00 one of the best values for eating out”

“As first-timers to Howies, Nathan helped us with the many options and favorite flavors. Service was fast and food amazing. Next time we're in Ohio, this is a for sure stop for us.”

“I absolutely love this location! The workers are always super kind and never mess up in order. They also keep it very clean on the inside. This is my number one go to Starbucks. P.S. Even on their busy days they are fabulous!”

“First time trying Belleria. We ordered delivery, including a 6-inch white pizza with chicken, pepperoni and mushrooms, and a regular 6-inch pizza with spinach, mushrooms, pepperoni and black olives. Both pizzas were excellent! The spinach was fresh, as were the mushrooms. We also ordered chicken fettuccine Alfredo. It was good, but one of the cheeses was incredibly pungent and a bit off-putting if stinky cheese isn't your thing. It could also have used more garlic, but overall, it was pretty good. The salad that came with it was a basic mixed green salad - nothing special but edible. The delivery driver was nice and prompt. Overall, it was a great experience! We will definitely order from here again.”

“Don't understand all the negative reviews. I go there several times a year and have never had a problem with the food or service. I have no problem recommending it either.”

“Great family owned business. Owners are very hard working people employing many college students. The baked goods are delicious and the drink options are endless. Support local always! We appreciate you.”

“Moved my daughter into school this past week and took a walk downtown to look around. Kent has done a great job cleaning up the area. We did stop here to eat lunch. Food was very good, everything seemed to be fresh. It does have a salsa bar where you can try different salsa's. Barbacoa soft tacos were great, lady next to me had fish tacos that smelled and looked delicious. Daughter had a burrito that was huge nd very tasteful. Very affordable and friendly staff. Also has a nice outside seating area. Totally recommend eating here if in town.”

“Had a great experience at Applebee's last week. Great service, great food an good atmosphere. How often does that happen these days. Went to one in Brimfield”
