The food is great, the people are super friendly. The restaurant brings one back to the '50s not only in price and generous servings but also in the surroundings. read more

Service is excellent, the food was amazing, portion size for the price top notch, and the atmosphere is small, but perfect for the 50's theme. We'll worth giving it a try, glad I did. read more

Came here because it was a diner. Love diners. And I believe it was on New Day Cleveland and wanted to check it out. 3 of us went on a Saturday afternoon. It's a cute place and cute decor. Definitely diner decor. There were a decent number of people eating. Seemed to be a mix of Bfast and lunch meals being served. Also seemed like a lot of regulars because employees were spending time talking to certain tables. We got the roast beef open face with gravy and mashed potatoes, the patty melt with onion rings, and the BBQ burger with fries. The roast beef was bland. Needed more seasoning. The 2 burgers were well done. We both liked them medium rare. But we weren't asked how we like them cooked when we ordered. Onion rings were breaded and only got about 5. Fries were abundant and fresh cut. Much better than the onion rings. Overall the food was just average if not slightly below average. Prices were good. Parking plentiful. Service was not great. No one asked us if we wanted refills or to check on us. We had to ask for our check after we waited awhile. Probably not a repeat. read more

The food is always good and the prices are always reasonable. It's clean. The service is wonderful. They have breakfast all day, which is great if you're traveling or even if you just want a full breakfast and don't feel like cooking. read more

Costs an extra $2 of you share your meal. Hot dog was a cheap kind. Also had chicken Philly, it was missing peppers. Atmosphere is a cute 50's style. Service was fine. Will not go back read more

Awesome experience! This is definitely a super fun place for a meal. Love the 50's theme! We were able to seat ourselves. As soon as we sat down, a server came to the table with utensils, menus and took our drink order. You will want to save room for dessert here. They have custom banana splits. Everything we ordered was freshly prepared and tasted delicious! Food was seasoned just right. The meat was very tender! They have all you can eat specials, which we didn't do because we wanted to save room for desserts. Even though there is an ice cream menu, everything can be customized. Staff was very attentive, friendly, helpful and worked hard to make sure everyone's orders were just right! Looking forward to eating here again soon! read more

I have to say we probably won't be returning here. The service was fine and the waitress was lovely. The tables were clean as well. Loved the 50's and 60's music playing as well. The food however was disappointing. My mother and father got patty melts and I got the western burger. When we first took our bites we noticed the texture of the meat was off and it had these holes in them. My dad noted they were probably tenderized. Then I noticed a few spots of mold on the bun. The pecan pie was good but I'm not sure if it was homemade. This may be one of those places you only go for breakfast but we're not going to take that chance. Either way, stay away from lunch. read more

The 1st. and 2nd time eating there was good. The food, service, and ambiance were satisfying. However, our food the third time was way below par. The swiss steak didn't look, or taste nothing like swiss steak, and the pop tasted like seltzer. They may have got a new cook, but we don't plan on going back any time soon. We feel bad because the owners are pleasant. read more

easy quick diner with good food! it's not some knock-your-socks-off, best food i've ever tasted place, but sometimes, you just want to relax and enjoy your food... the two of us are for under $20, including pop (of which they carry coke AND pepsi, fyi!), and we left full and satisfied! my old-school pulled pork was well done, the meat was moist but not greasy, simply served over texas toast smothered in gravy.... yep, it's good and has surviveso long for a reason! read more

Excellent food. Friendliest server. I'd go back! It is halfway between my son at Youngstown State and me and Mansfield. And it goes to grab some dinner read more

My husband and I always try to visit diners when we are traveling. Some are ok, but our dining experience at Dee's was excellent; from the delicious all-you-can eat spaghetti and meatballs to the delicious fish and fries! Our server J.R. who is the brother of the owner was an excellent host/server. He informed us of how each item on the special board is prepared., e.g., the spaghetti sauce which is cooked for 6hrs. This was the BEST spaghetti we ever had. Additionally, the atmosphere is fun and warm at the same time! Great place to dine! You won't be disappointed read more

Been here before and the breakfast is ok. Stopped in today, only one server working, place was half full. We sat for almost 20 minutes with no service at all before we gave up and left. Won't be back. read more

The place has a 50's sort of vibe. The food was okay for the most part. My buddy had a country fried steak which he said was a bit grisly. The gravy was good. My French toast was good and the sausage was passable. The most outstanding thing was the service. This was on a Saturday morning and the place was packed. My table of 4 was never neglected. Coffee was great and the cups were never empty. As this was my first visit, I'll withhold serious criticism until further research is done. read more

The service was out of this world the waiter was so kind and helpful. The food and ice cream was amazing, and the prices for it were fantastic too! I'd take anyone there, they've got something for everyone on the menu and it's so affordable in todays economy. Will definitely be back with my kids! read more

My friend and I stopped here for dinner while in Akron for the weekend, it was the best decision we could've made. The food was absolutely delicious, the brown gravy to die for. We highly recommend eating at this wonderful establishment. Hopefully you will have J.R. as your server, he is a treat. read more

The food was delicious!!! Great home style daily specials! Our server, J.R., did a great job and we let him know we will definitely be back!:) read more

The food here is really good, all homemade. A lot of the booths and tables were already full when we arrived and just one server; JR. We sat down and more people came in, and JR handled it like a pro, and with good humor. In the middle of all this, the "smoker's pole" outside caught fire and, in a situation where someone else might panic, JR took it in stride and handled it perfectly without missing a beat or causing a panic. Good job! So, good food, good service and a clean safe environment. read more

I have seen this place pop up numerous times when searching for places to eat. Well the other day my husband and I figured we would try it out and I can honestly say I was pretty disappointed... walking into the restaurant you get this diner vibe, which was exactly what I was expecting. We then spotted a table to eat at and as we walked to it, EVERYONE stared at us like we had 3 eyes! The service was really good and came out pretty quick. The prices were probably the best part of the whole experience- the food, on the other hand, was not good at all. I ordered a hamburger which had a funny taste to it and a mushy consistency. My husband ordered a melt that was saturated in grease and the same funny tasting burger. All in all, I don't see us returning... between the food and the awkwardness of people staring at us, just not worth the prices... read more

This Diner has amazing food and not only that but the owner is always here and very friendly.

Gotta love an old fashioned diner! Good menu and prices! Food is fresh, hot and made to order - plus you get a lot of it. Friendly staff and an owner that actually is there usually to help out or just say hi to make sure you're getting taken care of by the staff. The inside is really cool if you dig old records etc. Just a great place to eat and relax while doing so. read more

I like going to Dees. The folks are friendly, the staff will sometimes sit with you for a minute & the brother of the owner is a hoot!. They make going by myself pleasant, instead of 'awkward'. They have so many 'Specials' on their daily board, I always find something I like. People who have been around the area awhile remember the old Varsity Drive-In of the 50s & 60s that was there. Lots of good vibes around there. Oh, did I mention how good the food is. Its not a dressy place, more 'come as you are', not pretentious, just good ,filling, homey kind of food. I like their fish. All you can eat weds & fri. the only thing I am not fond of is their fries. thats just a personal preferance. I like mine crispier. thats why just 4 stars. read more

Overall the food was pretty good! Very cute and hipster inside. Although I was disappointed when I ordered their fried pickle chips. I paid $5.99 for them and they brought out 10 very small fried pickles, way too pricey for those! read more

We went for a birthday dinner with zero disappointments. Mom got breakfast with lots of options. If anything's unusual, Mom's the one to notice but she enjoyed everything. Dad got the all you can eat fish. Huge portion on the first plate! Think it was 6 good size pieces of fish. The fish had a nice crispy outside and it wasn't greasy either. It was awesome. The tarter sauce and slaw were both great too. French fries were pretty good at the start; you know how that goes. The child loved his Adult Chicken Fingers and Dad had leftovers of the first plate of fish. Little guy got a milk shake and Dad got a little. It was awesome and was made in a machine left over from the 50's probably. Really fun spot that's really cute. Prices are too low if you ask me. Better than the price paid. Everybody stuffed for about $30? And a milkshake.... Great deal! read more

Ok, just one visit shouldn't a review make. But it's clear they owners are really trying...perhaps too hard on a decor that instead of Classic just looks clumsy. Sometimes you should pay for a professional rather than just tossing it together. Thought I might enjoy the Retro-Diner atmosphere. Burgers 5.99 and taste like they were the frozen variety Very dissappointed, Will try again. Maybe. read more

Don't go when they are busy! Came once for the all you can eat fish early in the day and liked it. Came back again on a Friday night and were sorely disappointed. Of our four dinners one never arrives at our table, and the other three were brought to our table by a minor who looked not even 15. Only the sandwiches, no fries . Drinks were never filled . The partial food arrived an hour after we were seated. After flagging down a waitress to cancel our missing plate and just try to take our cold food with us we finally got some service and boxes and some fries and left. They did apologize and gave a gift certificate for our troubles. The 3 stars are only due to the previous time we were there and that they tried to resolve it. Otherwise between the service and the quality of the food we did get it would have been a one. read more

great place to eat the owners and staff are super friendly food is always good great for breakfast lunch or diner

Dan and the waitress on weekday mornings are fabulous! My great Uncle enjoys this place-the food and service are great!!

Would give negative if possible. My 71 year old mother went in for breakfast with a group of friends on 10-17-210. All of the food came old to cold to eat. One person had a coney dog that was still frozen in the center. They metioned problems to the server and she was very willing to take care of them. She had to call the owner for approval. The Owner then called the police that this group were leaving without paying for their bill. Really called the police on a group of women ranging fron 40's to 70's????? It's understandable mistakes happen in a restaurant but to call the police on a customer crosses the line. We will never return and never refer anyone to this business. read more

Not even worth 1 star. Went out for dinner one night and wanted to try somewhere new. Although I loved the retro atmosphere and the old music, the service and food were absolutely awful. The burger and fries were burnt, dry and the onion rings were so hard that you could barely chew them. If you want some good burgers & fries, go to dq across the street. read more

This restaurant is family owned and they really go out of their way to make you feel at home! Every time we go in they are so friendly to our infant son! The place used to be a dive bar and they have really put a lot of money and time into making it nice! read more

Could be cleaner. Had a weird smell. Gave us a bunch of extra potatoes. They said they deliver but I'm not sure it's at all worth it.

Awesome little place! Stopped for lunch on a road trip to NYC. We were the only ones on the place and the owners were great! Had some nice conversation, good food, and great service! The owner even shared his meatloaf with me! read more

If I could eat at Dee's place every night I would! Their homemade food is amazing!

I may be from out of town, but I'll make sure I stop by the next time I'm around this area! read more
