What a great lunch! While looking for someplace to eat and not being familiar with the area, we happened upon bistro 93. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere is very homey. Reading over the menu we were amazed at all the choices. Sometimes when you have a lot of choices you worry that they can't do everything good. Not the case this time! We all had amazing meals. This is definitely a hidden gem. The owners were incredibly friendly and love to share information about the restaurant. They were making fresh pies for desserts which sounded incredible. Unfortunately we could not stay until they were finished. Will be going back again as we pass through! read more

Menu is surprisingly large for such a small place. The food was amazing. Can't wait to go back. Disappointing that it's so far out of the way! read more

Have been back numerous times since our first visit. Regulars so as to say. Welcoming family run business. Consistent.

One of the best dining places in Akron. Friday fish is awesome and the helpings are huge for the price you pay! One has to try the "fish and chips"!!! read more

The food is absolutely fantastic!! Highly recommended.... the service is great very accommodating!!!!! read more

This place is outstanding. My wife and myself arrived early on a Sunday afternoon so we were seated immediately. The waitress informed us of the specials. The menu is intriguing. We both ordered the same special; Caribbean Skirt Steak. The special came with a choice of soup or salad. It was dreary January day so I went with the soup. The African Peanut Butter Soup! It was spiced perfectly. I couldn't wait for the entree. It was very tasty. I overheard the waitress list the dessert options. My tastebuds stood up on their hind legs when she said," Limnoncello mascarpone cake. I ordered it and my tastebuds were rewarded. The black coffee that came at the end of meal was delicious. Am I going back? You bet your life I going back. read more

Really unique place. Food was really good and interesting and the options were great. Definitely eat outside on a nice day.

Totally unique menu, delicious food and very friendly owners. Small home town feel. Bar tender goes out of his way to make special request drinks,deserts are many and scrumptious. read more

Great food great service the server knows everything on the menu and goes above and beyond

Upon entering Bistro 93, I noticed its casual and little outdated, however busy with guests in dining room and outdoor igloo. Clearly was busy as bar area hadn't been touched and used glasses were just there! I was walking in for takeout and all of this caught my attention as I stood waiting for our dinner to go. People came and went as I waited by bar and coffee table in front entrance. It was almost as if they've run out of space over years of being in the village of Akron and need a larger restaurant. So I finally paid grabbed food and headed home. I ordered the fish on special, fresh grouper (in orange/mango glaze) served with white rice & refried black beans, I took one bite of the rice & it tasted rancid so I didn't finish, the fish was mushy and didn't have enough of the glaze on it (Glaze was very flavorful, as fish wasn't). Our Pittsburg salad was good, my husband ordered a full rack of strawberry bbq ribs and he said they were some of the best ribs he's ever had. I had ordered a cup of Cream of Mushroom soup with my fish special, it was so salty I couldn't eat it, I think someone spilled a salt shaker in it, the family tried soup and said the same thing. I couldn't finish it! I would go back because it's close and convenient, ordering something different. My parents love their fish fry's from here! So if you stop in or order out, remember their probably going to be busy, order an hour or 2 before your ready to pick up. When I called to order they told me the dining rooms orders were ahead of mine, and I'd have to wait at least an hour! Plan ahead! read more

I'm not sure whether we would have found Bistro 93 if a passerby hadn't stopped us to ask for direction to this eatery. To that passerby, I would always be grateful. Bistro 93 is located "off the beaten path", in the middle of a residential area instead of a commercial district. Even its outside appearance at a glance gives off the vibe of being someone's home However, a step into the building immediately tells a different story. Inside, Bistro 93 is warm, a bit rustic, unpretentious, and welcoming. Most of the indoor tables are designed for small parties. Outdoor seating is also available out on the patio, but I have not checked it out. During both our visits to Bistro 93, there were only two people managing the front as hosts, server, bartender, and cashier. While at one point things seemed to get a tad hectic for our hosts, at no point at all did we feel rushed or not taken care of. On both occasions, our foods and drinks were delivered timely, and we were given full service as if we had been the only people in the entire restaurant. Now to the food. Wow. I have been to fancy restaurants whose dishes pale to the dishes that the chef of Bistro 93 produces. On our first visit, we ordered two bowls of seafood chowder, plus the following dishes to share: a scallop ceviche, the ahi tuna, and a charcuterie board. The seafood chowder was a tad saltier and thinner than I had expected, but it was tasty and generous with seafood chunks. The scallop ceviche was fresh and was gone within seconds of arriving at the table. The ahi tuna was our favorite; it was fresh, with a nice accompaniment of ginger and garlic and basil with every bite. We also could not believe how big the portion was, especially considering it was part of the so-called "Small Plate". The charcuterie board was very generous, again, particularly considering it's part of the so-called "Small Plate". The cheeses were of good quality and very tasty, and the board was also served with jam, dried apricot, and pickled peppers. I ended up taking half of the charcuterie board home for next day's lunch. On the next visit to Bistro 93, as tempted as I was by other items on the menu, I ended up ordering the ahi tuna for my dinner (also ordering only one dish, as I still remembered how big the portion had been). It was as good as I had remembered it, though the wasabi was a tad spicier than last time. My husband opted for the jambalaya, which came in a large steaming bowl (it was then that we realized why the ahi tuna was considered a "Small Plate"). He claimed that the jambalaya was quite good and spicy, but as the portion was so large, he could not finish it in one sitting. Overall, we gave Bistro 93 a solid thumbs up. We will definitely return. PS if you plan to visit in the height of summer: This place does not seem to have any AC and is ventilated by ceiling fans only. read more

Amazing family run restaurant with the best food around! Fresh ingredients and a warm environment! The patio is wonderful too for the warm seasons. read more

My favorite restaurant ever!! Jen, Bill & Douglas are amazing! Never had anything i didnt love. I recommend bistro 93 to everyone

Food is very good. We get the fish fry constantly. Staff is friendly but VERY loud. Would definitely recommend, just not as a place where you go for a quiet little dinner read more

The owners are on premises. They take the time to greet you answer any questions you may have. Explain the menu and specials with details. Highly recommend. read more

Ahi-MAZING. If food is your love language, go here because it is obviously theirs. The ahi nachos were perfect. The shark special was spot on. What I find even more important was that kindness overflowed to our 3 year old, who was a tad bit loud. Two Hawain Punch pickles later, and she had made best friends with the chef. Who treated her as if she was as important to him as any other customer. Thank you. Will return as soon and as many times as possible. read more

Delicious, great food, owners are awesome. Great back story on owners and the restaurant itself. Highly recommend it. You will get deliciously prepared foods from all over the world at one really cool spot. read more

Excellent food, excellent service. Interesting and varied menu, as well as really good cocktails and wine offerings. I highly recommend Bistro 93 read more

Very good food, great service and nice atmosphere. First time here and I came because everyone local has said the food is excellent. A real mix for the menu some great seafood choices but also has some comfort foods. I would recommend checking it out. Prices are very fair. Many have said that the sea bass, scallops, swordfish is good. But the burgers and salads are great too. Check it out something for everyone on the menu. read more

Great food , great staff, Had soup watermelon caprice salad and delicious soft shell crab. Recommend highly

Reasonable prices, decent bar fare, and the tender was friendly. My only complaint is that they don't have a whole lot of room in the bar section per say (near the front door). That said, it's not really their fault. read more

Driving home from Buffalo we stopped here for a late lunch early dinner after reading the reviews on Yelp. The staff is super friendly and won't steer you wrong with their suggestions! We had one of their fall specials....pork schnitzel with cabbage and noodles. It was delicious. Also tried Devils on horseback as an appetizer to be adventurous. (Dates with bacon and a special sauce!) even though we didn't have room for it we ordered a piece of the homage pie...yum yum yum! We will definitely come here again! Oh AND very reasonably price! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! The exterior reminds me of any other neighborhood bar & grill. The interior is comfortable. The menu and the food are out of this world! I was not prepared for the menu at all. It's filled with originality, creativity and not your average bar & grill food. You can tell that the menu was designed by a culinary expert and the cook is pretty darn good as well! My lunch was #3 on the Grilled Cheese menu was my choice and the only thing that disappointed me was that I ate it too fast! I selected rye for my bread. It was a feast of flavor! Marble rye, goat cheese, red peppers, provolone, and avacado! Unbelievable flavor! Smooth, crunchy, salty, savory all at once. The fries were so tasty and the pickle was a surprise! I love dill pickles and always 'rate' my meal in part based on the quality and taste of the pickle. The pickle is red. Yes red. I thought I tasted raspberry. I asked the owner and she told me the secret behind the house brine. Original and tasty! It took the bite out of the pickle and added a slight fruity taste. I won't reveal what she told me but you have to stop in and try it for yourself. Incredibly friendly service and atmosphere. A hidden treasure I was glad to experience!! read more

My skirt steak was delicious and the portions are very generous. Prices are highly reasonable. You can't go wrong in this cozy little hideaway read more

Wonderful, from soup to dessert. Started with a dozen raw clams which was a nice surprise as raw are not always offered. The summer seafood pasta dish with shrimp, clams, and mussels was superb as was the Hawaiian Seafood Dynamite. A creamy rice dish with shrimp, lobster, and a secret sauce with a bang- not hot but a nice kick. Peanut butter pie and a Pina Colada pie were homemade and delicious. Not too heavy. So many unique offerings. Reasonably priced as well. Would definitely recommend. read more

We waited for over 5 minutes, no one acknowledged we were even there. There were plenty of empty tables, eve if they had said just grab a seat, we will be right with you. Totally ignored. We will never go back. read more

Jen, Bill and John are amazing at everything they do. They have poured their heart into this restaurant and it shows. When you are at the Bistro you feel like family and the experience is like no other. Every detail is looked after and executed and the food is cooked per order just for you. The ingredients are fresh and local and they take the time to make sure every plate is perfect. Go with an open mind and a big appetite and don't forget to save room for dessert! read more

Amazing!!! Service was outstanding. And the food was great. Everything was so fresh and the flavors were fantastic. They have so many cool things on their menu we can not wait to be back! I got the scallops. They were cooked to perfection and were on a bed of truffled corn. The corn was wonderful, the best corn I have ever had. We will be back! I would highly recommend!! read more

Absolutely excellent food - decor is blah but the great interesting menu makes up for it! Had a delicious duck confit (small plate) and my friend had delicious scallops with delectable corn. Loved that there were many small plate options, which were actually more than adequate size wise. Wish the specialty salads were available in small sizes but the dinner salad was good. Reisling was delicious- bread was ok (needed to be warm) but the flavored butter was delicious. Will most definitely be back - a real find! read more

Wow! What a great restaurant find with farm to table greatness. The salmon brie avocado grilled cheese takes grilled cheese to new heights of deliciousness. My boyfriend had the pineapple avocado goat cheese burger and raved about it with every bite. And the house-cured pickles are amazing. The owners (one of which is the chef) are friendly and have lots of restaurant experience. The menu is filled with great food staples along with wonderful specials. Fresh and delicious food. Dine here asap! read more

This place is amazing. The food is great. There is a variety of options ranging from comfort food to fine dining and it is all amazing! A lot of fresh food and ingredients from local farms. The environment is warm and inviting. Friendly people and staff. And did I mention the food is great? My wife and I dine here so often we have lost count. We count ourselves lucky to be walking distance from the Bistro. read more
