Outside structure and picnic tables
Evan F.

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.

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.

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

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

Great hole-in-the-wall burger joint. Nothing fancy, just decent food in atmosphere that is increasingly hard to find.

My burger buns were served burnt on the inside. Burger with cheese and everything lacked flavor. French Fries were soggy grease fries.

Great milkshakes on a hot day. Bacon a little too crisp sometimes but hey that's just preference. Still a great spot.

I can totally see why this place is so popular …read more Made a reservation for Sunday afternoon (saw how yelpers recommended to make a reservation) *note that your card gets charged $25 if you don't show up. Ordered a breakfast bowl, short rib omelette, and strawberry blintzes. The breakfast bowl was more of a plate, croissant with delicious sausage gravy and eggs. 5/5 The southwestern short rib omelette was also great! Didn't expect a combo like this but it worked well and didn't skimp on the short rib 4.5/5 I can definitely see why the strawberry blintzes are a favorite. The strawberries were fresh, sweet and I usually don't like compote but it was good. 5/5 Although higher than expected pricing for brunch, the portions and quality make it reasonable. Service was attentive, and parking available in its own parking lot. Overall top notch brunch--definitely make a reservation if you can!

I had heard that this was an incredible place to try for breakfast. Unfortunately, it didn't stand…read moreup to the hype. The biggest disappointment was that the food was cold. It looked like it could have been good if it hadn't have sat out so long before it was brought to the table. Potatoes were cold. Toast was cold. Quiche was cold. The server, on the other hand, was incredible. He was attentive, friendly and a true star in our bad food experience. There were two of us, and the total for breakfast plus two coffees and tip was more than $70. Portions are huge. Ambiance was nice. Sad it didn't knock it out of the park.

Fred's Diner is a sparkling diamond of a place that so many locals I mentioned it to were still…read moreunaware of. That's mostly due to location. 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.

First time here as we are visiting family in Akron. This place was a breath of fresh air after our…read moreother encounters with mainland people at the airport, taxis, hotel, etc. First thing we noticed was how nice the restaurant looked outside. The brick building is impressive and very unique for a restaurant. As we entered, we noticed the tall ceiling and ambiance was warm and welcoming. Our waitress, Kellye, was genuinely very friendly. She was courteous and gave us a little background on the history of the place. She answered questions we had about the menu. I ordered the burger because I wanted comfort food after the last 2 days of airport food. He ordered the venison because that's not something common you find in Hawaii. I loved their Industry light lager beer. The burger itself tasted great, definitely from a nice cut of beef and not just ground beef that comes on styrofoam. I like the type of bun it came on, however, I think mine was toasted perhaps too long as it was a bit hard. The fingerling potatoes it came with were cooked perfectly - I enjoyed the crunchy bits from the skins too. His venison he ordered was cooked medium rare just as he requested. The pineapple risotto was really good, cooked well and the sauce was nice and creamy. He did not like the pineapple in it tho - didn't quite pair well with the pasta. He picked out the pineapple and finished the rest. We also shared the lobster bisque. OMG this was a total win. It had a generous amount of buttery lobster on top that melted in your mouth. The soup was amazing as well. We had no room for dessert and I actually had leftovers to take home. I couldn't eat it all. We are definitely going to come back at least one more time before our travels back home. Quite honestly, we had major difficulty choosing what plate we wanted because everything sounded delicious. I also wanted to try the beef sandwich, mushroom risotto, gnocchi and a few more plates. Thank you Kellye for the warm welcome, you made our dinner a delightful treat.

I made reservations for 5pm on a Wednesday evening, which I'm glad, as it was full by 6pm). The…read morebooth was fine for me, comfortable-but a heavier/bigger person has kind of tight to table at our booth. A few tables had extremely uncomfortable wood chairs. It is a unique venue, with cute patio but the busy street so close by we opted to be inside. Great to have this historic building restored to a restaurant in Green. I had the lobster gnocchi, it had a sauce of Gruyère/white cheddar, and parmesan tuile (which turned out to be a simple parm crisp that I happened to have a bag at home for salads). When the dish was brought out, it was very thick and was not real hot temperature-wise, and the presentation was underwhelming. There were 3 very small, dry pieces (like 2 inches long) of lobster sitting atop the gnocchi, no sauce on it. Seemed like packaged lobster. I ate the lobster and half of the gnocchi and brought remainder home. When I warmed it next day, I added my homemade garden tomato Italian sauce, which made it delicious! I suggest the chef offer this choice in future. For $36 I would also expect some sort of vegetable on the side, or a small salad. There was also no bread served, even though there were small bread plates (?) brought with the silverware. My friend ordered beet salad, which she liked-had golden beets vs. red. Another had halibut which is very mild, served with risotto and a lot of roasted Brussels sprouts (she requested instead of broccolini) which were good. The waitress was very nice, professional and asked a few minutes after serving if we needed anything. Service was great, had time for cocktails before dinner served and was not made to feel rushed. It was a loud and lively atmosphere by 5:45, quiet at 5pm. I liked the music playing, was modern rock that anyone could like, energized vibes. I will go back, want to try happy hour and a dessert. This restaurant has a fun/sophisticated casual ambiance for adults of all ages, especially millennials and Gen X.
