    Rodeo Cheeseburg
    Ryan H.

    Burger was very good. One of the better ones I've had in the area and I've been trying a lot of them. They make their own ketchup but I did not like it, apparently it's a new recipe. Fries were good and I ate them with malt vinegar. It's an old diner style, very cute and historic. They have amazing bottled soda. We tried the black cherry, root beer and cream soda. I don't like cream soda but my friend who does said it was really good. Both root beer and black cherry were great. The lady working was sweet and told us about some of the history of the place. She was fun to talk to and nice. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is I left hungry and spent $16 on a burger, fries and a bottle of soda.

    I had heard about Bob's a couple of years ago but hadn't been able to get there until recently. It did not disappoint and I'm so glad I finally made it there! There's nothing I didn't enjoy, the service was spot on, old time soda flavors, the old school diner interior, and last but not least the food. I live an hour away but I'm sure I'll return for another visit.

    Hit up this spot for a little roadside (i.e., outside) dining at this old-school diner style burger stand. Staff was super-friendly...went inside to place my order and they served me out at the picnic tables by the street. I ordered a signature burger, fries and a vanilla milkshake. Service took a bit of time, but I know it was because they were making my food fresh, so all good! Their burgers are served smashburger style off a flattop grill, so they come out all charred and juicy. The Bonanza burger was quite good with a mix of mayo and BBQ sauces on top along with crispy bacon and shredded lettuce. Their fries are shoestring style and (surprisingly) held their heat and were well seasoned. The vanilla milkshake was kind of thin and on the small side, but had a traditional soda fountain type flavor to it...seemed like ice cream and milk blended together. A bit on the pricey side for what you get, but a great bit of nostalgia and a solid burger and fries. Would definitely return.

    OMFG...Bob! BOB...AMAZING! I have started a 1 week quest to find the best hamburger in Akron, Ohio. I'm a newbie to Bob's Hamburg so I went with a mushroom Swiss, fries, and a chocolate shake. Dang, you set the bar high...this is going to be a tough competition. You are being graded on overall taste, juiciness of meat, flavor of the burger, the bun, fries, and overall appearance. The only thing I would change is that I wish I could time travel and know about this place years ago when I came to Akron. Well done good guys, I will be a returning customer!

    Shoestring fries

    This is my second time coming to Bob's Hamburg AKA Bob's Burgers. This little beauty is tucked in Akron and if you're in the area please stop by (hours 7-4) Fresh burgers, I'm talking about balled up ground beef that they Smash and cooked right there in front of you. No Frozen patties just fresh goodness burgers. I drove a half hour from Medina just to come here again. And I'll probably visit every 3 weeks or so. The big fast food chains have nothing on this place. The shoestring fries were great and the burger was very tasty. I found my new favorite burger joint

    I got the mushroom burger.... and what was called-- the biggest burger they have, is what is on his plate.

    I was so excited by the hype on social media. We finally went and ordered. I'm sure this won't effect the business at all. But I was extremely disappointed in the food. We paid .... get ready-- $42 for the food pictured. The burgers had ZERO seasoning. Zero. My husbands burger was $14 and he is the least picky person on this earth. He said his burger had no flavor. If I had to guess. I would say this is a joint where locals get it good. (Or better) I would say they had the ability to do well, but perhaps that day they were so busy they didn't? Idk. But my onion rings were very very overdone. No salt. He barely got a handful of fries ( on top of his $14 burger!!) .... I wish them the best. But I won't ever go back.

    Knife and Fork Burg Lunch
    Keith H.

    Our quest to try new places continues! Bob's Hamburg is an Akron Landmark, it's been in business for 87 years!!!! WOW!!!! We are so excited to finally give it a try! I ordered the the Knife & Fork Burg and onion rings, Meshelle ordered the Undefeated Burger! BOOM!!!!

    Onion Rings
    Kayy P.

    First time having bobs and I LOVED it. Better than swensons and WAY better than Ralleys. The root beer was absolutely amazing and served with a chilled mug. Very refreshing. I got the double cheeseburger and I could barely eat half. Even though these are smash burgers, they are VERY filling. But boy, do I love smash burgers and they make them perfectly. Kayla got the knife and fork cheeseburger and amazing the people there by devouring it in less than 10 minutes. Show off. They put just the right amount of sauces on, the onions are my favorite cut (super fine diced) and the bacon is nice and crispy. We will definitely be back

    a hamburger and french fries

    Extremely intimate historical setting. Loved Bobs Blazing Burger Great sauce and jalapeños. Fries amazing as well. They taste and smell just like carnival fries. Wife got the Rodeo Burger. Great flavor as well. Onion rings were top notch. Crisp and the onion stayed strong in the breading. Please try this place reminds me of going to a relatives house for a cookout but way better. Great job

    Amazing fries!

The place was nearly full with one room cordoned off for only the busiest of times. While we waited, I visited the jam bar to get some butter. Soon, our food was delivered. The fresh squeezed orange juice was very tasty. I definitely enjoyed that. The portion sizes were good. I was afraid they might be small, given the price. The biscuits were large and good, but they are different than southern style biscuits. They can easily be cut with a fork, but also remain stable enough to eat with your fork after cutting. My shrimp was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. I think they put six medium-large shrimp in the dish. The grits were also not the typical southern style. They were creamy, but still very good. The dish was tasty and very satisfying. The beignets were delicious! They were served with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Excellent! Our server was friendly and quick. Very good quality. Very good service. The only drawback here is the price. As we exited, the line was out the door.

It has been on my list for ages but it isn't close to my house and the wait is always long! But in March 2026, my bf and I braved the wait so I can finally check this place out! Overall, it is clear why Blue Door is always packed - the food, while overpriced, is delicious and made by a team of talented chef and bakers! I'll say this was a 4.5 star experience. We were quoted a wait for about 45 minutes but we were seated after 30. The case of baked goods were enticing me the entire time but I resisted! Our waiter, Steven, was funny, helpful, and had a great personality. The place, obviously, was packed, with little room in between tables. We saw quite a few patrons order the incredibly indulgent horchata French toast ($24) and I don't think I witnessed anyone finish it! To start, I got a coffee from local coffee roasters, Angel Falls, for $3.50 and my boyfriend treated himself to a fancy hot chai $6.50. It was pretty good local coffee! I wanted to try their famous croissants so I ordered the croque madame croissant sandwich with breakfast potatoes ($21). The croque madame was incredible! The breakfast potatoes could have benefited from an interesting seasoning. My boyfriend wanted everything on the menu but decided on getting the "special menu" loaded baked potato breakfast burger with salt+vinegar brined house chips (aka fries) for $24. The potato inside was a large potato latke. This heavenly creation kept him full for hours. In the end, our bill was pretty pricey for a brunch but we enjoyed every bite. I'm not sure if I will be able to come here again since we got lucky with our wait, but they keep changing their menu and something might entice me so much, I'll endure any wait!

It's less than a 10 minute drive from downtown Akron but it's off the beaten path. All locals (except me) in here. When I went (10AM Friday) the place was almost full, and I was dining alone, so I sat at the counter, happily next to the kitchen. To look at the kitchen was like looking inside a bee hive, bustling with activity but barely a sound. I could just make out what was being calmly stated "2 Silver Dollar, Salmon, Country Fried, 2 Over Easy..." It was fun to watch, but what was important was the output. It took just over 6 minutes from the time I order until it was sitting in front of me, and everything was perfect! The waitresses were so efficient. I saw my order hit the window and in about 12 seconds it was delivered. They were so customer focused, they were (jokingly) fighting over refilling my tea. When I was done and paid for I waited outside for Uber to pick me up (3 min). I looked back on what I'd just experienced, and snapped a picture of the two parking lots of cars for Fred's Diner. I counted and there were 32 cars at Fred's. OK maybe 10 were staff so 22 cars for customers, let's say on average there were 2 customers per car (remember I walked here so no car for me). By my calculation, Fred's was feeding 44 people every 30 minutes or so. No wonder they're only open 4 days a week and only for breakfast - lunch. I calculate they might serve 3200 meals in those 4 days, and then take 3 days off to get ready for the next week. I love this place. Wish I lived here so I could come more often.
