Hidden gem in a small town! Came here on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm. No one else was dining at that time. Loved the rustic, but modern atmosphere. We ordered 2 appetizers: portobello mushrooms and corn dip. Both were great in their own way. (Honestly would like to try and duplicate the corn dip!) We ordered a variety of main dishes. Everything was fresh, hot and absolutely no complaints from anyone. (Pics of everything we ordered attached). Way more food than we could eat and most of us took food home to enjoy later. Waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Would 100% go back!! read more

Well, we went back after a mediocre experience last time. We waited over 10 minutes to be seated with no staff member in sight during that time. My advice..... don't be open without adequate staffing. Other patrons seemed to be looking around for the wait staff as well. After we were seated, the hostess gave us menus & said someone would be with us. Our waiter showed up about 5 minutes later obtaining our drink orders. We received our waters and he took our orders. We haven't seen him since, no refills on the water. The inside is the factor look. It hasn't changed. It is cute! The food is good with generous portions. Sadly, the service is so poor that it ruins the whole experience. Maybe Robert Irvine from Restaurant Rescue could be of assistance here! read more

The 2 star is due to service and the others in the restaurant waited 2+hrs also for service with forgetting 2people in their group orders. We arrived and was seated within 10mins and then wasn't asked our order for another 30mins. To which the wait was over an hour for food to arrive on a Tuesday evening. We had 4 kids and 4 adults. The environment was clean and modern bar theme with exposed brick, industrial vibes, with shiplap. Bar section was excluded to the back corner with clean restrooms, labeled women and men. they had coloring books with crayons and several games that you were able to use at your table. The food was good and kids sizes were perfect. I was told by those who ordered sirloin to double check they know how you want the meat cooked. They have boaster seats/highchair & a bouncer for the kids. The kids loved their little slider and Mac&Cheese . Unfortunately they got the order wrong but we worked it out. The Blackened Chicken Alfredo was tasty! read more

I didn't feel welcome when I walked in to wait to get a table last Saturday afternoon. The waitress doesn't seem to be friendly. That's not the experience I want. read more

This was our first time eating at Dilly's. Sat evening at 7. Five of us arrived and were seated immediately. Our server took our drink order ASAP no hard drinks just water and pop. Had drink's delivered very quick server then took our orders. I ordered the grilled shrimp with garlic mash potatoes, wife had the chicken stir fry daughter had prime rib rare Son-in law the Dilly burger grandson had grilled cheese with applesauce. Didn't wait more then 10 minutes and we were eating. My shrimp was so damn salty and way to much pepper also was undercooked to the point of being RAW I couldn't eat them and the garlic mashed potatoes were cold. My wife's chicken stir fry was salty also. Daughters Prime Rib Was cooked just right her husbands Dilly burger looked delicious and must have been cause he devoured it like he hadn't eaten in days. Grandson's grilled cheese was fine as was the applesauce. My mistake was to not complain but that's my fault. Overall we agreed on three star dinners. The establishment is very nice and clean. We'll be going back when in Akron. read more

So just to start off we walked in and was not even greeted and then she sat us down and got us water and wasn't very polite about anything, then she got us our food and didn't check up on us not once and was being rude the entire time, we came in around 3-4ish on February 15th read more

Disaster dining experience. Service was the absolute worst. I'm assuming the training is lacking or almost non/existent. This was a huge waste of a meal out. Will not return. read more

The rib eye dinner was delicious service was great. The bartender Jackie was also our waitress. She was very responsive and the food was hit and steak cooked as ordered. I'd recommend the mashed potatoes and the Green Beans too. It's a destination in Akron In. read more

Solid bar offering, nice setting lots of exposed brick, high cowlings & solid food comfortable place to enjoy a meal or adult beverages

I have always heard great things about Dilly's but was disappointed when I visited recently. We had a group, 12 people, that seemed to be too much for them to handle. It was a weeknight and we were about the only ones in the restaurant. I ordered the grilled chicken tenders with a side of mac and cheese which was good, nothing spectacular that I couldn't get anywhere else. I originally tried to order the french dip sandwich that was on special but unfortunately couldn't substitute the side of chips for a side of mac and cheese which made me change my mind. This is about the only decent place to eat in the area and I hope they are able to fix the simple things that could have made this a better experience. read more

Great place for a night out with quick and friendly service and different delicious dinner specials every night.

I've always liked Dilly's but our recent visit was as pleasant as usual. The wait was intolerably long, granted, it was Friday so it was understandable. What wasn't understandable was the lack of organization. There was MANY parties waiting with no room to sit or stand for everyone. Covid guidelines were not being enforced, we were one of the VERY FEW groups wearing masks, and many workers had theirs under their nose or pulled down to speak. If this review was based on just food, it would be 5/5, but the service lacked. read more

Been here several times and love it. The food has been exceptional every time and the atmosphere is very rustic and cool. The wait staff has always been friendly and helpful as well. If you're ever passing through the small town of Akron, make sure you stop and check this place out. It's a definite winner read more

5 of us. Literally got our food in shifts. My son in laws prime rib and my chicken came out first...chicken was full of bones and grizzled. When we were done, my son's nachos came out...they were good. Then 20 min later, my daughter and husband's food came out. Mediocre at best. Won't be back. So disappointed. ​ read more

Food was pretty decent. Wait staff only mediocre. Bar area is very lame. Nice location. Always out of different items. Same menu as a lot of other places. Will go back- but not a crave. read more

Traveling from Texas and got a suggestion from a local that we should give Dillys a try. Very glad we did! Six of us in our group so we got every appetizer on the menu. We were definitely not disappointed!! We were looking for some afternoon snacks and Dillys didn't disappoint!!! Give this cool little place a try!! read more

Very pleasant surprise to find a restaurant of this quality in such an out of the way location. They always have interesting daily specials.

My husband and I enjoyed a very good meal here, then I ordered a coffee drink for dessert: coffee + alcohol. The drink arrived cold, over ice. I was surprised and said that I wanted it hot. I was then rudely told I had to pay for the mistake anyway, because "alcohol is expensive". We were shocked! This ruined an otherwise nice experience. Ever hear of customer service Dilly's??? read more

The food was ok once we received it. we waited 50 mins for my husbands pork chop, another 17 mins for the shrimp that was to go with it and then another 5 mins for mine. ONE HOUR AND TWELVE MINS for my food and my husband had finished before I even had my BACON GRILLED CHEESE. I will never return and I recommend that you do not either. read more

This was an absolute great experience. Cassondra did a great job with taking care of us. The burger was to die for and the steak sandwich was fantastic. Great beer list to go along with all the fixins. I would definitely recommend this place and will be coming back. Thanks for the great experience! read more

Recent change in ownership was apparent. Recently went as a group of 14. My husband and a friend were at the bar and tried to order a drink. They had cash ready. We're told to go to their table for their waitress to take care of them. Everyone ordered food the same time. 2 orders were wrong. My husband didn't get his food until everyone else was done eating. When the dining room closed we headed to the bar. They were supposed to be open till midnight. All the stools were on top of the tables at 9:30. After waiting a while, We took the chairs down ourself to sit down. At 10:30 they said they were closing the cash register so we had to order our last round. At 11 he said they were closing early and tried pushing us out. The whole time the bar was full of employees drinking including the owners who were doing shots while holding their new baby at the bar! So unprofessional! read more

Tried Dilly's for the first time. The selection will not disappoint you. The service was wonderful. Everyone's food was delicious. We enjoyed the prime rib and the pork chops. We shared the turtle waffle ( YUM )!!! If you have not tried Dilly's yet you need to. read more

Tonight was my first visit to Dilly's. It won't be the last! This little gem is amazing! I had fried portabella mushrooms and fried cheese curds for an appetizer. For dinner, Prime Rib with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts with a sweet bacon jam were on the menu. For dessert, they had 3 kinds of cheesecake. Apple Carmel pie on top of cheesecake, Baileys cheesecake, and Oreo cheesecake. My friends all had the apple pie cheesecake and I had the Oreo. OMG! Everything tasted so good! The cheesecake was the high light of dinner! I can hardly wait for a return visit! I'll be thinking about this place until next time. read more

Service sucks, one person making drinks and it took forever. Was making other drinks before she made one ordered well before. And it was terrible. Bar tender didn't know how to make a Bloody Mary at all. Salads never came before the food. Just terrible service for a restaurant/bar. read more

We have always received great service and excellent food at Dilly's. We stopped last night on our way home from a cold and long track meet. Bryce greeted us right away, and continued with friendly, casual and quick service. As a table of four, we were all happy with our meals. I especially liked my pulled pork nachos. They were the perfect combination of flavor and sweet heat. We will definitely continue to enjoy this small town gem. read more

Have eaten here a few times before and had a good experience. However, my most recent meal was a huge disappointment. $20 for a piece of salmon and cold broccoli that was frozen rather than fresh. Fresh broccoli is in bountiful supply at this time of year. read more

We needed a place to grab a bite on a Saturday night. This place was great! Service, food and prices were awesome! We will visit again!

We went here after my grandmothers funeral. There were 12 of us. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Our food was amazing. We're not from the area so this was our first time here. Will definitely be back read more

Wow, was there last night and it took 2 1/2 hours to get our cold food. Not worth the wait and the money. Will not go back.
