    Sampler platter with a mild sausage smothered in cooked onions and peppers, a cabbage roll, and a pierogi.

    This place is the definition of a hidden gem! Eat in or take out. If you eat in it has a bit of a cafeteria feel- Go to the counter, tell them what to fill your plate with. Find a seat. The counter staff are cheerful and warm. Don't door dash this one. The way this little restaurant smells is part of the experience! It closes at 2 pm, but perfect to get to go. Pick it up for dinner. The to go containers are foil pans, so it's perfect to pick up in the afternoon and heat up in the oven. Don't sleep on this one. I recommend the sampler platter with a side of the paprikash, get the cheese cake too.

    Front counter with all your options.

    Hidden gem found while visiting family in Akron and wanted some pierogis. Restaurant is connected to the market but easy to find. We had two sampler plates and the pierogi plate. It was so good and the ladies they run the place were so friendly. Can't wait to come back

    This place is a true gem! I didnt think id find any authentic food in Barberton but this is it, probably the best restaurant in town! I had the lunch special which is $7.99 and is an entree with 2 sides. I had chicken paprikas and green beans, mashed potatoes. My husband had the chicken paprikas also with sauerkraut and spicy sausage (yes, the sausage could be a side!). We were so happy with our meals. The price was amazing for what you got. Portions huge and flavorful. Would definitely come back!

    This is a restaurant that takes you back to a less stressfull time. Decor is a throwback to the 40's and 50's diner. It seems the price of a good lunch is too! We each got the sampler plate with different choices so we could share, bread and a drink for $17 and change. The kraut and sausage was some of the best I've ever had. The Paprikash was delicious. Stand in line to order from the delicounter. If you show up closer to 2pm they give extra size portions...but you risk the chance that they may run out of certain menu items. Everything is made fresh! If you like great Hungarian food...try Al's Corner Restaurant!

    NOT on the corner!

    Fantastic place, always good. One sampler can feed two people. It's simple dinning at its best.

Service was friendly and the other couple seated near us were regulars and said they've never had a bad meal there. We ended up deciding to try the western omelet and a pancake with added blueberries and a biscuit on the side. After we ordered, the owner came and talked to us and said that they are famous for their eggs Benedicts and hollandaise sauce... If I'd have known that before ordering I would have tried one of those. He did bring us a little hollandaise to sample though and it was amazing! He also brought over a piece of baklava for my husband and I to try and we agreed it was the best we have ever had! Delicious and flaky and not too heavy...the owner said they make it without honey. My husband really enjoyed his omelet (it did look super fluffy and delicious) and my pancake and biscuit were good as well. They only brought out syrup packets though; I wish they had a syrup pitcher/jug but that's just personal preference. They also charged for the tap waters we ordered so that was definitely strange. Food was solid though and everyone inside was nice. I would go back and try an eggs Benedict and get some more baklava for sure! Thank you, Enchanted Cafe, for a nice Saturday morning breakfast.

    3.5 score. Pretty good place, but busy for holiday crowd. Stopped before an outing at the Wadsworth…read moreCelestial. Decent service but overtasked due to the crowd, so drinks and meals were slow. I'm better at waiting for food or ordering the meal, but I do like drinks reordered or topped off when needed. Food was good (my New Year's resolution is to take pics). I had the beer battered cod (small cod portion and too much oily breading) and my wife had a Chicken Alfredo (she enjoyed it). Overall, if we are in the area we may return, but won't make this a destination. Again, nothing wrong here just slow and average meals.

Lots of different seating options, huge booths, intimate tables, cool bar area and looked like nice outdoor patio for warmer months. Our server was SO nice and attentive, offered suggestions of her favorites from the menu. The spirit of a drink I wanted was out of stock so she suggested great alternatives. Both of our sandwiches were good and flavorful, and fries well seasoned. Good portions. Would like to try more things in the future. This is the kind of place that feels homey, like your grandma is in the kitchen and your family is all sitting around talking. If you're expecting out of this world decor and fusion food, this is not the place for you. It's cozy comfort. Our only con was that the side pickles were not good (I prefer crisp they were pretty soggy). Would definitely come back with family!
