It's funny how you can so easily stumble upon places that you never knew existed! While on my lunch break from working an off-duty detail in Kenmore I drove past what appeared to be a small diner. As I was about to walk in I paused... when I saw the cash only sign. So, after going to a nearby ATM I returned and walked inside to a lively establishment with roughly 8-10 patrons. I took a seat at the counter, which was reminiscent of what you might find at a truck stop diner or 24 hour joint tucked away in a small corner of a neighborhood. I was immediately greeted with a smile by a pleasant young lady who handed me a menu. Let me tell you, of the many things that stand out about this restaurant, the prices are the most noticable aspect as they are lower and more reasonable than comparable venues. After glancing over the menu, I ordered a coffee and two eggs scrambled with cheese, home fries, and wheat toast. The coffee was smooth and bold, which surprised me as most restaurant coffee tastes like muddy water. I asked the server and was told that a special blend is used and roasted locally. The eggs were perfect while the homefries were crisp but but overdone. Last but not least, the toast was buttered, warm, and paired well with the eggs. Talk about a quinessential American breakfast! You can estimate the cost of food, but you can't put a price on quality and great service!

Driving along Kenmore Blvd by SR224, there are lackluster industrial buildings on the south and east side of the road and a tired neighborhood of small but maintained houses interspersed with foreclosures and trap houses to the north and west. Tucked between these two worlds on the northwest side is a small grey building which houses a family diner filled with Mickey Mouse kitsch and some of the tastiest eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast I've had in the past 3+ decades. My breakfast companion announced that the toast was 5 star, the coffee was very good, and even the water was good, lacking the metallic aftertaste so prevalent in the southwest side of Akron. The diner is plain, homey, cash only, and the bathrooms were worn but clean. The waitress took the order and served us with a gentle warmth and attentiveness. Between service she chatted with the local couple about national news - the small size makes overhearing conversations inevitable- and it became apparent that this diner was one of those linchpins of the neighborhood, keeping the area connected to its roots while serving passers through.

Basic breakfast menu, great prices. Bring cash though, they don't take credit. Place has been in Kenmore since I was a kid.

This place was an oasis on a dark night. Crazy highway closures, the late hours on a Sunday night…read moreleaving other places closed, we were led here to eat. Took a chance as we had never heard of it but the open 24 hours a day sign beckoned is in. What a surprise! A cute retro diner vibe. Something led me to order the gyro and it was phenomenal, not Greece level, but they griddled both the gyro meat and the pita so it was piping hot and then layered with cold tzatziki, lettuce, onion and tomato.... Sooo good. Fries were crispy, hot, and plentiful on everyone's plate. The kids chicken strip meal was unbelievably crispy and juicy and flavorful. Two burgers were ordered and both were loved. And even at the late hour service was friendly and attentive. The only thing keeping that 5th star is the whole place and all the condiments etc on the table need wiped down and the floors swept and mopped. I tried not to look too closely at anything as I enjoyed my delish dinner. But if you've never been you should try it!

A classic American diner with the fastest and friendliest service in town…read more The Lamp Post is open 24/7 and offers all day breakfast. The theme is 50's. The booths remind you of sitting in a 57 Chevy. There are Elvis, Marilyn and many other stars from that era, idolized on the walls. The menu is classic American diner food. If you've never been before, you must order the He Man Breakfast Platter - it's a humongous breakfast sampler that will not disappoint! The Lamp Post is an eastside tradition.

At least 3 older people with walkers and canes had no problem getting in and through. Family friendly.

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.
