I first met One Red Door during the Taste of Hudson this past October; Macaroni & Cheese topped with Smoked Brisket. I thought the brisket was delicious (the mac & cheese wasn’t bad either). Regardless, it still has taken some time for me to make my way for a sit-down meal – I’m glad that I finally was able to.
My first visit to Hartville Café was a mixed bag. On one hand, I loved the idea of the place and they had an appetizing menu, but on the other, the food I chose just wasn’t anything special. I will say that when I’m in the area, I’ll be going back to try out some other items and definitely will have some dessert.
Experiencing Melt’s sandwiches is something that everyone must do at some point (very much like Gasoline Alley). Unique, tasty and redefining the phrase “comfort food”, Melt serves up gigantic grilled cheese sandwiches stuffed with almost anything you can imagine (lasagna or perogies anyone?).
Located in an obscured strip mall – off a road literally 5 yards before an on-ramp to a highway, Vaccaro’s offers traditional Italian food and a decent wine list. We were privileged to be invited to experience a, chef inspired, 6-course prix-fixe meal.
Russo’s is quickly becoming one of our favorite places to visit. Specializing in Italian-Creole “soul food,” Russo’s prides itself on its fresh seafood dishes and authentic flavors. Come with at least another person and share the appetizers!
Having now experienced my second Michael Symon restaurant, I can say that I’m becoming a big fan of his cooking. Indoor and outdoor seating, simple menu, great draft beer selection and phenomenal burgers is what the B-Spot is all about. Seriously, the hamburgers are the best I’ve had in the area – cooked to perfection, full of distinct flavours, and oh, so juicy!
Not too many places in Ohio serve BBQ reminiscent of the south. In fact, I don’t think there is another place quite like Old Carolina in Northeast Ohio. Come for their deliciously smoked meet and true vinegar BBQ sauces.
The Stew Pot is, at the time of this review, a new restaurant that just had its Grand Opening. Choose from homemade soups, burgers or beer cooked hot dogs. The friendly, family atmosphere paired with really good, honest and affordable food, will make this a popular stop.
For the handful of ‘relaxing on a patio’ months that we have here in Northeast Ohio, you should make your way down to the Galaxy. Drink, eat, and be merry in the sun or shade – just the fact that there is large outdoor eating area should keep you coming back here. The honest sandwiches, decent draft beers and occasional live music are bonuses.
I think, no, I know that everyone needs to try a sandwich from here. We had been meaning to try Gasoline Alley for some since we heard so much talk about their sandwiches – I don’t know why we waited so long, but I’m glad it finally is over. The menu is extensive and I can’t wait to work my way through it. Delicious!
Fresh ingredients, pleasant staff and stiff drinks keep us coming back! The Saffron Patch is one of the better Indian restaurants I’ve been to and so far the best in Akron.
Great ambiance, delicious food and a selection of wine that will introduce you to a new favorite. A very relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and great background music.
One of the best restaurants I have been too. It was exciting to see a menu with dishes that you don’t typically find in Ohio. Great atmosphere and excellent service. The only thing keeping me from going again and again is the price. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s worth it!
Ultimately, Big City Chophouse is a typical steak house, not too much in terms of style, but the food is solid and the prices of the steak are very reasonable for the quality of the meat. Unfortunately, the service wasn’t anything outstanding and there was no one even to greet me as I walked in. Read the full review for all the details on this downtown Akron restaurant.
