50 Best American Restaurants near Stow

“Absolutely phenomenal! Tip Top in Stow is hands-down one of the best hidden gems in Northeast Ohio. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and buzzing with energy. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive.

The restaurant itself is super clean, cozy, and has that classic neighborhood tavern feel with a modern twist. The back of the restaurant and patio offer beautiful and relaxing views of the creek and ravine that runs through Adell Durbin Park. The prices are also incredibly fair for the quality and portion sizes.

Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time, Tip Top treats you like family. This place deserves all the love (and 5 stars)! Highly recommend!“

Friendly atmosphere, supported by local people, because the food is very good. The original bar area was completely refinished and is beautiful, looks original. The dining area was also remodeled. Our go to place for Perch.“

“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!“

“Went back to Moe’s for dinner and everything was incredible. The food, service and atmosphere have always been consistently great every time we go. Whether a special occasion or date night, things are consistently great. We enjoyed the crab cakes as an appetizer, the duck breast with scalloped goat cheese potatoes as entree 1 and for entree 2, the braised short ribs in pomegranate glaze with the squash risotto.
The crab cakes were big and very dense. So good I forgot to take a picture. The risotto was incredible: very rich, creamy and not too cheesy. Extremely hard to find a good risotto in restaurants. I wish the pomegranate glaze on the short ribs was a bit more fruity but it was still incredible! The duck was good but the potatoes were the star of the dish! The goat cheese really defined all the flavors of the entree. Always look forward to returning and having another incredible meal!! We walked over to the more relaxed bar area after formal dinner and the cocktails were great. The staff on both sides was incredible as always.“

“Loved it, best food I have had in decades“

“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.“

“This establishment consistently goes above and beyond. The service is always wonderful, the food is great, and the manager is so incredibly attentive. When I left my phone, he came into the parking lot to meet me at my car and made sure to double check how our dinner was. Cannot recommend enough!“

“This place was wonderful. I can't wait to come back with my kiddos. So many video games from years gone by, and board games too. The venue it is connected to is fantastic. Loved the atmosphere. If you are in need of quick good food, or have an afternoon to kill this spot is the place to go!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great food, great environment, friendly. Well worth a visit!“

“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?“

“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“

“We eat there every Thurs. sometimes just 3 sometimes a group of 7 or more. the staff is fantastic food is fantastic! thank you for being so accommodating!“

“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! 👏🏼🙌🏼“

“this was my first time here, amazing“

“Our experience was no less than outstanding! The food was excellent and we always love the 1/2 price wine Tuesday. But more importantly, our server, Devon, was attentive and excellent in every way. He was extremely pleasant, and recognized my husband in a very personal way as a Veteran. He made the evening very enjoyable! Hats off to him!“

“Great food! Have been in Akron for over 2 years and this is the first time going to a location down here! We did a mobile order and there was a mixup with the order, but Nick got the needed items no questions asked and super quick! Thank you Nick 🙂“

“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!!!“

“Our waiter was CORAY and he was amazing he refilled asked he was prompt. He was polite and he was happy. I would recommend asking for him.“

“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.“

“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. 💜“

“Stop sleeping on this place. The food is amazing. Our bartender was the most amazing lady ever she was nice and friendly and our drinks were so good. we will be going back. I feel like there should be a bigger social media presence for this restaurant because our experience was a 10 out of 10.“

“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.“

“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 🙏🙏🙏“

“the chili cheese dog is magical lol. catfish and Mac and cheese is the way to go“

“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.“

“Service was great. Food was delicious. Will be going there again.“

“Great experience with Hudson’s Catering this weekend! 80th birthday party for my Mom with family coming in from all over OH and PA. Kevin made it easy, picking the menu, delivering the food and setting it up. The food was fantastic and rave reviews from all the guests, especially the Chicken Romano, the green beans and the cinnamon fruit dip. Highly recommend!“

“The service is always impeccable. The food is delicious and the employees all make it such a wonderful dining experience. We will continue to give The Merchant Tavern the highest recognition for this establishment.“

“I always love the experience and food from the Barn whether we get room service or visit in person. In person however is such an incredible experience and almost a journey with each course. All of the staff are all so pleasant and Chef Austin is a master at his craft. The hospitality is unmatched. I cannot wait to come back.“
