This place is amazing and very affordable I highly recommend it!!! I visited on Tuesday and I got the breakfast quesadilla it was extremely tasty!!! read more

The food was fine but man it was expensive. 2 coffees and 2 entrees was $40. My wife got an omelette that came with hashbrowns and toast and I got biscuits and gravy, toast, and 2 eggs. It was cheap diner quality but First Watch prices. The staff were great and waitress was friendly. But hard to justify the cost. read more

Been here several times on Sunday morning. Service, food and ambiance are very nice. Nice menu has traditional breakfasts and a few surprises. Coffee cup is always full in a fancy glass cup. Hometown feel. Restaurant has several large rooms with lots of parking. Handicapped parking near front door. read more

Absolutely LOVED Akron Family! It is the definition of perfect for the family. Our energetic 5 year old was in her element and the staff was so kind and patient with us. We had a great lunch! My husband got the Reuben & I had the Cobb salad. Both were fantastic! He truly enjoyed his sandwich. My salad was so fresh and the "small" was HUGE! I ate every bite, bc it was so good, and I was FULLLL. It was so delicious. Our server was proactive, kind and very patient. This was a perfect new spot for us to try! Will definitely be back! read more

Live this little local stop for breakfast with my family. The service is great, the food comes out hot and fast and the location is ideal for the locals to frequent. They have plenty of parking and larger rooms for family gatherings. We've only been for breakfast and each time it was good. read more

M- Service is always good the food is not cooked with care or thoughtfully. The place is very 60 and the prices are not pocket friendly. Family needs a update out front and in the back at the kitchen. read more

Horrible. Worst food I have ever had. The atmosphere was great. Nice inside and out, service not so great, there was 1 other table. There were 4 of us. Food was cold. Everything that was supposed to be steak or roast beef was lunchmeat. Literally mashed potatoes from a packet. Gravy from a jar, and lunchmeat. It was cold. It was horrible. No body ate their food except the fries. How do you screw up a salad also??! Save your money. read more

We took an early all day road trip to Akron today to sightsee, shop and find a new place to eat on a Sunday. We decided on AFR for early lunch after driving by and checking reviews. We're glad we did. Rueben and patty melt were very satisfying. Corned beef was plentiful and good quality. Service was very good and friendly. Clean, modern atmosphere with some tighter seating areas. Started very busy at 11:00 but had cleared out mostly by 12:00pm. Even busy, no wait, seated immediately. We'll definitely return, hopefully for breakfast because it looked good and seemed very popular. read more

Great food and affordable prices. Friendly staff The seating is a bit crowded, but a must for a quick family brunch, if in the area read more

I went with two friends visiting from out of town.... service outstanding, food outstanding, and my guests and I comfortably caught up with each other without feeling rushed. Just a great experience! read more

I ate breakfast here and i won't be back. The hostess was an older woman dressed very nice. I thought perhaps she owned the place or worked there a very long time. Her husband and his friend were eating breakfast next to us. Older gentleman who looked like they worked construction or something similar. While trying to enjoy my meal, the two gentleman were having outrageous conversations. The gentleman talked about how he told a hostess at a different restaurant he used EBT to pay for his meal. He was upset that the hostess at that restaurant didn't think it was funny. He continued to talk about Mexicans and Spanish speaking people. Stating he wishes they'd all "go back to where they came from." He later mentioned that he hates Indians the most of all. Ignorantly he said he hates Indians who "speak Spanish"........right. Whatever that means. Also to the hostess who was dressed very nice... you should ask your husband how he allows his friend to speak about you. his friend said he's married with no kids or grandkids and wishes he had a "hot piece of ass" like that. I'll never be back the food was mid. Here's the biscuits and gravy that could never compare to my grandmothers. read more

Comfortable diner with good food and service. Folks there to enjoy meal and company and that's all. Can't go wrong here.

Food was great , as well as most of the staff. We come all the time. Michelle was our server yesterday morning (10.26) and all I can say is that I recommend getting any one else to take care of you. Please don't let this rude woman ruin this great breakfast spot. read more

We came in twice for dinner and once for breakfast. The first time we really liked our food for dinner, so we returned. I was not a fan of breakfast - which was blueberry pancakes and 2 eggs. The next meal was dinner again. The green beans were cooked to death and very watery. The mashed potatoes could not have been real. They tasted very fake and the gravy which was brown gravy was not good either. I was surprised to have brown gravy with a chicken breast. My husband has a chicken breast on a cobb salad and he was worried it was not cooked enough. If it had been grilled more it would have been tastier. We has a cobb salad the first time we came in and it was delicious as was the reuben sandwich. I liked the servers, read more

Best breakfast/lunch spot in Akron hands down! Been going here for years now and it's always consistently amazing!! Great staff! Great atmosphere and it won't break the bank!! Keep it up AFR!! read more

Second visit. The food is excellent! The service is friendly and welcoming. Their prices are VERY REASONABLE and everything is neat and clean!!! Love love love! Will be back! read more

The best Avocado Toast anywhere....that's what you will find here. Fresh avocados on toasted bread, with fresh tomatoes and feta cheese. It is the Vegetarian's dream! I loved this meal. This is my second visit to this restaurant in the past few months. I love the customer service here. They make you feel like family. The prices are very reasonable. The ambiance reminds me of an old fashioned diner. It's very crowded on Saturday and Sunday mornings. They have a large list of specials on the whiteboard in the back of the dining room. One looks better than the next. They are open during daylight hours, not for dinner. While at first glance, it looks like they have a very small parking lot on the side of the restaurant, there is a very large parking lot around the back of the restaurant. read more

Akron Family Restaurant - Saturday breakfast: Scrambled Eggs, English Muffin and Hash Hash browns. - American Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Wonderful local diner. Great food, attentive service, and busy with locals. Excellent breakfast spot in the heart of Akron.

The family went for breakfast to try this for the first time The restaurant is clean and updated to comfortable and modern look The service was fast, friendly and very helpful. We had three different servers stop by for filling coffee/drinks, helping etc. the food was typical breakfast menu. Not much variation or unique. Kids enjoyed waffles and pancakes but they were just ok. The special was crab eggs Benedict. I wish I would have asked, it was imitation crab meat. It wasn't good. The Hollandaise was flavorless and the poached eggs were over cooked I did not complain because I don't think there was anything that could be done. I just didn't care for it. The lunch menu looked good. Photos of salads that look amazing Unfortunately we don't live nearby and probably won't make a trip back read more

I went in for a sandwich and ended up with a $18 prime rib dinner with all the sides. A thinner cut than is usual, but $18 ! It was quite good. A great value! The server was cool. The restaurant is professional and clean. On weekdays, especially mornings, every prominent attorney in Akron eats there. Really, really good eavesdropping btw:) read more

I had sent this little restaurant many times and my husband and I finally paid it a visit. My only disappointment is that I hadn't visited their restaurant sooner! Our service was amazing and our breakfast had big portions leading to several to go boxes! We will definitely be back. read more

Stopped for lunch on a Saturday. The place is huge with a few private rooms that can accommodate large parties, like ours. I got a Reuben with fries & it was pretty good. We waited quite some time for our food & mine was cold when it arrived, like it had been sitting for a while. Despite that, it was still tasty. Our server was gone for long periods & apologized at one point, stating that she was the only one working three rooms. She was doing her best, though & was friendly. Everything everyone got looked great - from breakfast to salads to sandwiches. I would definitely go back & give them another try. read more

The wife found this place on Yelp. We were looking for a place close to Akron General Hospital. Our daughter was in surgery, and we left to grab a bite to eat. This place is truly amazing. The options on the menu are great. The food was great for the price. The staff were so friendly. We will definitely be coming back on a regular. read more

Wasn't impressed with the food not a dirty place though and the service was descent Wasnt flavorful tasting was bland I had steak and egg breakfast and I could've did a better job myself read more

People rave about this place, but I found it to be just ok. Most of the breakfast fare is what you would expect. Pretty sure the chicken I had was Cisco, boxed + rewarmed. Nice service, tho! read more

There is no place better in Ohio than Akron family! There is always a place for you to sit. Hot coffee as soon as you sit down. Super friendly staff and welcoming environment. The food is always delicious and a nice variety to select from. We come almost every week because it never disappoints. read more

Great breakfast and plenty of selections. Go and enjoy. Chorizo Omelette was great, and the service was great too.

Food that is normal (home cooked) no bistro and other yuppy names. Not only is it great food it's priced right, large and spacious and friendly staff. you won't find the noise and banks of tv's along the walls. You will find fire police and city officials here. read more

This is a great breakfast spot. Got eggs, hash browns , sausage links, and rye toast. Everything came out hot, perfectly cooked, and delicious. Service was fast, courteous, and friendly. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Typical diner ambiance which is ok when you're on to other events. Will definitely be back, enjoyed it very much. read more

Best breakfast in Akron. You can always get a seat no matter how crowded and the food comes out speedy fast. Filling food, light atmosphere, and the staff are always so sweet and cheery. If you are hungry for a quick bite be sure to stop at AFR. Pro tip- get the spicy sausage as your breakfast meat! read more

Not the homey diner feel I was hoping for. "Renovated" and festooned with American flags -- every size and place. (What country am I in? *Looks at walls and tables* Oh yeah, now I remember!) If that's not enough, let the loud country music wash over you. What a total bummer. read more

Nice Mom & Pop joint in Akron with a nice breakfast menu. There's a Greek influence which is great! I never had grilled gyro meat with my breakfast before and that's exactly what I did. The gyro slices grill up nice and brown. A little peppery, they went well with my two over easy eggs. I came with a side of pita bread and some hash browns as well. We liked it so much we went back the next morning while still in town. I tried the eggs and a huge sausage patty the next day. That sausage patty was huge! Browned nicely on the outside. read more

Pretty standard diner. The food is how I expected diner food to taste. They have a really huge selection so you can really get anything your craving. Their staff are welcoming, friendly and very hospitable. It's a really great atmosphere whether you're dining alone or with a huge group. It's definitely worth it to stop by and support local. read more

This is my favorite place to meet friends for breakfast. I started coming because my kids wake up hella early and it might be the only place open before 7am. I kept coming because the staff are super nice, the food is good, the prices are right, and I literally have never had to wait to sit down (very important when you're bringing in 3 kids under 5). It's pretty standard diner fare, but they make an effort to mix it up with a lot of rotating specials, which I appreciate. Portions are large, so I tend to order two adult meals and share it among the four of us. When I meet up with friends here, I do recommend they skip the coffee, because it's never been good in my experience--like brown water. read more

Eating here for breakfast was a surprise. It seemed like a local breakfast restaurant from the outside. The inside is very rustic modern and open. I was seated right away and had two different workers pouring coffee and taking drinks before our waitress came over. It seems like the type of place where everyone is willing to help each other out. The menu was large and pretty inexpensive. They had a good variety of pancakes (including toppings) and a lot of sides. The food came out quickly and tasted great. I would recommend and come back again to try more. read more

Our recent visit to this family diner left us with mixed feelings. While there were some aspects that we enjoyed, there were also a few areas where improvements could be made. On the positive side, the diner had a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere that felt welcoming. The menu offered a variety of classic comfort foods, and the portions were generous. The family-friendly vibe was evident, and the staff was friendly, making it a suitable spot for a casual family meal. However, we found the food quality to be somewhat inconsistent. Some dishes were tasty and lived up to the diner's reputation, while others fell a bit short of our expectations. Most of our party ordered sandwiches. I ordered the Ruben, 2 others ordered the pastrami and one other ordered the chicken and waffles. It was what you would expect. Not terrible, but nothing to write home about. Service was friendly, and our orders came out in a reasonable time. We came in close to closing time. The restaurant wasn't very full, and I would say that the staff did a great job accommodating us. In conclusion, this family diner has the potential to be a solid choice for a relaxed family meal. I wasn't blown away, but regardless of the families fact, it remains a solid choice for families dining in the area. They are definitely worth trying again. read more
