“We went today and had an amazing experience. The food and service were incredible! Highly recommend”

“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?”

“I think this is an incredible little bar located below. Bw3s in downtown Kent. The atmosphere is cool. Bartenders are fun and interesting. There's always games that you can play at the tables. The drinks are unique and delicious. It's just a fun place to hang out”

Great place to have a delicious Mediterranean feast. We had a steak gyro sub, chicken shawarma wrap, beef shawarma rice bowl and a burger, stuffed grape leaves and tiramisu. All were SO good. If you are getting for lunch and have to go back to work I would recommend ordering ahead because everything is made to order.”

Food is absolutely delicious 🔥🔥🔥”

“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!!!!”

“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!”

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

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

“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 little shop! Staff is always super friendly and enthusiastic when we've gone. Nice for a quick bite of comfort food. The prices are good and food always comes out nice and hot.”

“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”

“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!”

“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!”

“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”

“After eating at a local restaurant, we headed over here to try a local coffee shop. First time visiting. Ordered the Irish Cream Breve, blended, and it was OUTSTANDING!!! It was so good, we ordered another one for the road trip home the next morning.”

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

“Food was great and staff attentive! 💖”

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

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

“The toilet paper really hold when you gotta go. 2 ply for the win. 157 does not disappoint when it comes to bathrooms. It’s like the future but now…… and don’t forget about the sushi, about the best I’ve ever had in my life.”

“Great!”

“Rockne's Kent: Max the Knife & Steak Salad Success!
Rockne's in Kent delivered a truly satisfying meal. I conquered the famous Max the Knife burger, and it lived up to the hype—four juicy, cheesy patties layered in a triple-bun, a delicious and massive feast! My wife chose the Steak Salad, which was equally impressive. The steak was tender, perfectly seasoned, and served over a fresh bed of greens with their excellent fries and grilled pita. The vast menu and generous portions make this a winner for any craving. For great food and friendly service, Rockne's is a staple!”

“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!”

“The queen of clean.
This location successfully positions itself as a better fast-food option, primarily due to its outstanding commitment to cleanliness. It's incredibly reassuring to know that the workers perform daily deep cleans, even pulling out equipment to sanitize the hard-to-reach areas. In an industry where hygiene can sometimes be questionable, this dedication to a spotless environment—confirmed by someone who works there and still happily eats there—makes a huge difference in the dining experience.”

“I stop here often, it’s always clean, friendly and my drink comes out as I want (which is hard when I’m picky about my coffee)!!
Staff is always welcoming and handles the stress of how busy it can be due to being on campus”

“Great Arby's experience tonight. I ordered allot of food, more than you'd think is normally acceptable. I thought it was gonna be awhile, but it came out super fast, and was all on point. Great job to the lady's running Arby's tonight.”

“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!”

“First visit last night and not our last! Wonderful food and service and a huge menu. Had the “Right Way” bowl—homemade chili over homemade Mac and cheese—and it was delicious. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal. Anxious to return for a breakfast. This is an independent business and their food is more than worthy of your support.”

“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.”

“Anytime I want good Chinese food I always come here. The spicy options they have mixed with their delicious classics always ensures they have something I will enjoy. The service is always so good and the waitress treats us like family every time we come in. If you need a new authentic Chinese restaurant this is it!”

“Just want to give a shout out to Chris for doing an excellent job every time we walk in. He is always professional and quick getting us our food. Always has a great personality and ready to carry on a conversation. It's because of him we continue to come back. Way to go!!”

“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!”

“Food was great, absolutely love the vibes in this establishment. Workers are nice. Planned on taking food to go but stayed cause of how chill it was. Definitely happy and looking forward to coming back!”

“Amazing traditional custard”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“I go here on a regular basis with a friend. We love it!”

“love the food and atmosphere.”

“One of the few places a person can still get anchovies on their pizza, and also get a GOOD pizza. I don't usually care for chain restaurants or franchises because I shouldn't, but I dunno man, Marcos has done right by me in the past with their various pizzas and such. The Kent location deserves a bit of vital energy; give it a visit even if you just get some wings or something, round up a tip or donate a lil cash to charity. Just enjoy your dang pizza.”

“Excellent smoothies
Excellently service

A thank you to Ashley for her patience as it was my first time there. She pointed me in the right direction and I’m happy to say I’ll be back.”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”

“alright applebees you guys out done yourselves the o-my-cheese burger without bacon and the spicy honey mustard, i got regular honey mustard as a dipping sauce for the burger was o-my-azing the only micro issue i had was no pink burger like i ordered but in all honesty i dont really care its 50/10 im not even gonna complain about not having a pink patty the fries were cooked to perfection i couldnt ask for a better meal applebees needs to keep this burger on the menu permanantly the cheese was so gooey and warm it was baked to the burger if your a cheese lover like i am id order this burger i jumped on the cheese train and it blew my whistle to cheese town thats how amazing this meal was id love nothing more than to order this sandwhich the next time i come back”

“My good was fire! Veggie sandwich on rosemary sea salt bagel, ice strawberry green tea, and hashbrowns. I would just suggest greeting people when they enter the door. I almost turned around bc I wasn't sure if they were friendly or not. They were friendly!”

“Great coffee and Andi was the best!!”

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

“The food here is absolutely amazing I live an hour away and I'm willing to drive that hour just for their tacos their food is truly that good, I will say I've been there on a weekday a few times during that afternoon and the food wasn't as good (I'm assuming because it wasn't busy) and sometimes human make mistakes it happens it just happens more on weekdays rather than on weekends for them, other than that the inside is always clean and beautiful the food is to die for an they are always nice and willing to fix any mistakes made and are extremely easy to talk to when ordering and everything else! 9.5/10”

“We were so impressed that employees were switching gloves between customers when we went for 🍦 the other night! 🙂 Plus, it was delicious!”

“overall atmosphere was gr8 even though my order was carry out. food was gr8!!! recommend usin their app as u get points that can b redeemed 4 free food/upgrades 2 ur food n they add up quickly.....recommend:
