A good friend invited me to Breakfast in Bed by LaCole today -- and let me tell you, I've…read moreofficially found my new favorite breakfast spot in Akron. Hands down!! The food was absolutely fire. I ordered the fish & grits, and every single bite delivered. The grits were creamy and perfectly seasoned, the toast and eggs were spot-on, and the potatoes were cooked just right -- crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. It honestly brought a tear to my eye and transported me straight back to breakfast at my grandma's table. But that crispy fish? That was the star of the show, baby!! Golden, perfectly seasoned, fried to perfection -- the kind of bite that makes you pause mid-conversation just to appreciate it. Everything on my plate was delicious, and the service was just as impressive -- warm, welcoming, and attentive without missing a beat. You can taste the love in the food and feel the hospitality in the room. If you're in Akron, do yourself a favor: Go. Go. Go. Support this restaurant! Your taste buds will thank you -- and you'll probably be planning your next visit before you even leave the parking lot.

Our waiter was very pleasant and consistently checked in on us. It took a while for our order to come out, but as we were waiting, we noticed an abundant amount of people ordering out, which was a total green flag when we finally received our food. we noticed that we didn't get the collard greens with our shrimp and grits like the menu said and we also did not get our sweet potato cakes instead we got the grits with shrimp and peppers and we got biscuit French toast. Everything was delicious, but it would have been nice to know that we would be getting substitutes overall the experience was really great and just a few things that they could easily fix to make their business thrive I really hope that they move to a bigger building because the food at the friendly service are bringing in returning customers

I've never been here before but I know it's a fairly popular place so I was quick to agree to the location. We originally sat at the bar but the stools were so incredibly uncomfortable, so we moved to a booth. While our server was nice, it did take her quite a while to come take our drink order. I got a "lavendar breeze" for my first drink and it was delicious. The menu is small, with the focus being on grilled cheese sandwiches. I'm not a huge grilled cheese lover, so I ordered a wedge salad (with house white French dressing) and the sauerkraut balls from the appetizer menu. The salad was on par with what you'd expect, the dressing was tasty. The sauerkraut balls, though, kind of threw me. First, it's a HUGE serving. There was around 30-40 sauerkraut balls in the basket; way more than I ever imagined would be in an order. I was expecting four or five golf ball sized balls. Maybe I've been spoiled by having some fantastic sauerkraut balls, but these were subpar, at best. They didn't have a lot of flavor and the cocktail sauce they served with them was an odd choice. While I still enjoyed time catching up with a friend and the drinks were well done, I doubt I'll come back for food. The menu just wasn't appealing to me and what I did have wasnt good enough to lure me back anytime soon.

One minor gripe: the mac and cheese is a little one-note. It's not bad, it just doesn't surprise you.

We went last night and it wasn't good at all. The drinks were terrible - not balanced at all. The are martini tasted of cheap vodka. However, the drinks here were never that good. My nephew's waffle (chicken & waffles) was burnt, my filet wasn't properly cooked, and the wrap my niece got looked dry and burnt as well. We ordered a side of fries that didn't arrive until we were done with our meal. Same with the drink my husband ordered. The server wasn't great. The food was dry and bland. We WILL NOT be back. Such a shame. This placed used to be packed Friday and Saturday nights. Now it's a ghost town, down to a 2 sided paper menu, with bad drinks & bland, expensive, improperly cooked food

Don't get me wrong: the food is fine (in the most mediocre sense). Full disclosure: We don't eat red meat, so I can't comment on their steaks, which is what the place is known for. This is a classic case of tradition masquerading as fine dining. There's no subtly or nuance to the cuisine. The oysters Rockefeller was overly sauced, and the salad was overdressed. My salmon was a bit overcooked, but the baked potato was very good. The dessert, a brownie with ice cream, ate like a Little Debbie squirted with Hershey chocolate sauce. I will say that our server was wonderful and was working very hard. The ambiance, however, was sad. We were seated in the bar area on very uncomfortable wooden benches. Honestly, it felt like a Cracker Barrel. At the bar was an obnoxiously loud man dropping F-bombs and saying homophobic things. He pretty much ruined any enjoyment we had a hope of having. Finally, Diamond Grille doesn't accept credit cards, which we knew, but again, our enjoyment was dampened by having to keep track of how much everything cost so we didn't spend more than the cash we had gotten out of the ATM on our way. The hostess told us they were planting their feet and never taking cards, and I just don't understand why, in the 21st century, a business would alienate customers like this. All in all, this place is resting on its past reputation, and in my opinion, it's unearned.
