Great bar/restaurant. The wings are good, pizza's looked great.

Stopped after a long morning of sightseeing and enjoyed cold drinks and sandwiches. Our server, Roman, the self proclaimed most honest server, made a few suggestions and they were great. We had the popular Chicken Philly and the new White Queso Steak Sliders. We both got the home made Kettle Chips which were also very good. Thanks to Roman and our tasty food, we had a very nice late lunch.

Welcome to the Tasting Room, an every-week beer festival! We highlight all the available Hoppin' Frog beers, as well as feature guest taps from some of the highest-rated craft breweries around the world. We also feature a beer-centric menu to compliment o

Arrived 45 minutes before closing time. Kitchen was closed (suspected it might be) but bartender was disinterested and somewhat surly. 15 beers on tap minus one they were out of = good selection. Free private parking lot. Heard from local that this was one of the best breweries in the area but I disagree because beer was just OK, service lackluster.

We had a flight with 5 great tasting beers, a Hefeweizen that was good, and then a blonde ale. The pretzels & beer cheese was awesome & our sandwiches were so good!! My chicken, avocado bacon ranch sandwich & my hubbyâs roast beef melt are recommended. The service was excellent & everyone was friendly. Fun atmosphere. We will return!

We ate here for Fatherâs Day & it was the perfect choice. Our server was awesome! The menu had options for everyone. The tots appetizer were amazing! The pretzel was very good too. Our burgers were delicious as was the Tuscan chicken sandwich. The atmosphere was comfortable & fun. The outdoor space is very nice, but it was rainy so we were inside. The beer choices are plentiful & were all very good! We highly recommend this brewery & we will return!

They boast over 100 beers on tap. I am not a beer drinker but went for the wings. They were average and a little too expensive for what they were.

Bricco provides the Downtown Akron scene with a casual, fun dining alternative. Bricco offers an extensive lunch and dinner menu, as well as a full-service bar with large beer and wine lists (over 120 selections each).

Our family has been to this Bricco location many times over the years. After our most recent visit, I felt it was time to write a review with the hope that the owner will read it. We made a reservation to celebrate a very important birthday in our family. This birthday celebration was noted in our reservation request online. When we arrived, the gentleman at the host / check-in desk didn't greet us. I'm assuming he was the owner. We've seen him here many times. He didn't say happy birthday or anything. He showed us to our booth. (Seats are wearing out with cracks and holes in them.) Our server came over a few minutes later. The server was okay, but he sure seemed poorly trained in how to provide a quality customer dining experience. He also seemed annoyed that we didn't order any alcohol, and mostly drank water. The food was okay but didn't seem to be as good as previous visits. We hope the owner will make the needed improvements to their operations, especially regarding customer service and training. NOTE: People may not remember your name, but they'll remember the way you made them feel. The ownership needs to take this to heart and train their staff accordingly. We left Bricco feeling unappreciated and underwhelmed. We might go back but it will be a long time from now.

We decided on The Lockview based on recommendations and proximity to the Akron Civic Theatre. We were seated immediately, unfortunately it was the table near the front door. We froze! If itâs cold out I would recommend a table more toward the back/middle area.They were extremely busy and it appeared that they were short staffed but we eventually got a waitress and ordered. I ordered a grilled cheese #7 with Gouda cheese, tomato and fresh basil. It was good but very small. I opted for the sweet potato fries. My wife had the #9 mozzarella cheese,roasted red peppers/mushroom, basil and Texas toast with tater totâs. The food was good but with small small portions. The waitress was sporadic at best. But, convenience was the key. The Lockview is directly across from the Theatre. I will go there again and I would recommend them.

I had lunch here with family. The burgers were good. However, the salad with chicken was really disappointing. It was small for the price, with very little chicken or lettuce, actually. The iced tea was so watery, as well. One member of our party ordered fish, but wanted regular tartar sauce, but was brought the jalapeño sauce. She realized it after already putting it on the sandwich. There was a nice view if you were seated near the windows, which we werenât. Our table was very unstable, and we had to try to hold onto it during our meal. I wouldnât go back here again.We do apologize that your recent visit was less than satisfactory for you. We would love to hear from you as guest satisfaction is something that we hold to a high standard. I would love another chance to serve you and make your next visit better.

So my husband and I ordered an $18.00 corned beef sandwich ( Reuben ). The meat was so fatty it was gross, the fries were horrible, like they were cooked in old grease. They were hard and in small pieces. Why would the waitress even server them? We Would have sent it back to the kitchen, but we had no time we were catching a show. When we went to the bathroom before we left, it was so disgusting that my first thought was gosh if the bathrooms are this gross what does the kitchen look like. Will definitely never go back.

Reviewed By Ted K
This place screams local. They use a lot of quality locally sourced ingredients, serve local OH beer, etc. They have a lot of interesting custom burgers- and have different meat or vegan options. Their tots are to die for- a mashed potato ball with shredded hash browns rolled in it then fried. Never had anything like it before that probably not that good for me but it was incredibly good tasting. Burgers were phenomenal and couldnât say enough good things about the service. Thoroughly answered any questions and were very attentive. Definitely have this place down for a return visit!
