I visit Akron often to hang with my brother. He picked this place because it is a go to for a neural friend. She is vegetarian and gets the veggie past dish - huge portions! Huge! So let's go... Prices are decent for the portion sizes, come on they are huge. Pasta, ribs and chicken dishes are the winners. The side veggie egg rolls not so much. Don't order them if you are expecting $15 egg rolls because that is not what you will get. The bread is fresh and warm, so good! The oil dipping sauce is tasty as well. The service was great, very attentive. The mixed cocktails were excellent. When you think golf course, you have to remember this is Akron and this place is on the edge of a neighborhood. It was nice enough for the enjoyable dinner we had for decent prices. Again the service was on point and the cocktails rocked. Bonus for having vegetarian options. I look forward to returning and enjoying the patio that over looks the golf course. They also set up a few weekly events so be prepared to see an artist preform on a random night. read more

We were surprised to find Edgar's located inside a golf course but the restaurant was large and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was early on a Saturday night and the restaurant was empty but the large bar area was crowded. Before we left a large party arrived and a few more tables filled but it was not too crowded. We were told the ingredients for our cocktails were not available due to a large party the previous night then waited 30 min for the oysters Rockefeller, which were overcooked. I tried the ribs that seemed to be reheated and we got the smoked chicken that was pretty good. The grilled potatoes were raw inside and the greens were undercooked and lacked any flavor. Prices were a little high for the quality of the food. Overall the staff were great, the restaurant was nice but the food was not great. read more

The quality of service and food is inconsistent, even when it's not busy. I will say that it's nice to have another place to go for diverse entertainment, especially music and line dancing. I do absolutely love their cheesecake - it's indulgent and rich. read more

Here with Phil, Kemah, Glenn, and Laurina. Amazing food, great vibe, and the most down-to-earth people! Definitely returning. read more

My husband and I love this place but the last 2 times coming to this establishment, it kinda fell off. They NEVER have what we want on the menu.. my husband ordered a Heineken 0.0 and the waitress (hostess) brought him a Stella Artois 0.0 and without saying to him, "we are out of Heineken 0.0" we had reservations and paid to see a live band that was to start at 730 but started at 815 and went on break at 9. We were seated and Water was brought to our table but no one came to the table until 30-40 minutes later. it was the hostess at the front door. The same girl that brought the beer. She took our order which was only appetizers and they were not brought to us til much later too. I am very disappointed with this establishment. I only came back because my husband wanted to hear the band. It wasn't crowded. No one came to our table to see if we wanted or needed more water, tea or the beer that was brought. I have had egg rolls before and I have never had any that looked burned like these or recooked. So very disappointed. The band was great! :) read more

I ate here in 2021 and got more then i bargained for. What you are looking at is the queen sized prime rib. I was afraid to ask about the king size after seeing the size of this. I was so stuffed i couldn't even think about dessert. If your significant other wants a fancy restaurant but you want rib sticking portions for your money. This is the place for the both of you read more

Hidden gem! If you're in West Akron and need a bite, look no further. Stopped in on a Wednesday to find out they had appetizer size wings on special - top 5 best wings I've ever had. Get Glenn's BBQ. Mac and cheese has to be grandmas recipe. Excellent value for quality and amount of food. read more

Edgar's hosted our high school reunion brunch this weekend. They did an amazing job! The menu included fresh fruit, garden salad, eggs, bacon, hash brown potatoes, chicken wings and waffles. Every dish was prepared to perfection. Even the playlist was on point. Kudos to Glen and his staff for a job well done. read more

Our waiter was odd. He was nice, but the way he presented the menu (telling us what was NOT available), was scattered and confusing. Not knowledgeable about the food either. Their menu specials change weekly - when asking if it was good he would say he had no idea because it was "new". We were given the old and new menu and he was borderline aggressive with a guest after they asked a question saying "if you'd read the menu you'd know". Very odd. The rest of the staff was warm and hospitable. The food was good up until the main entrees. Over done prime rib, old and salty gumbo, just not great. Wouldn't go back and would not recommend. read more

My wife took me here for my Birthday. When she looked it up it said Fine Dining. Now, we already live in a golf club community and surprisingly found this establishment tied to a public golf course. As we walked in, we saw standard bbq grills on a side porch. The entry way took us pass a bar area with men in football Jersey attire. We went into the "dining" area that was literally empty. We were sat in a booth with silverware wrapped in paper napkins. ( Fine Dining) We then waited for about 10 minutes until a young lady asked us if we have been waited on yet. We replied no. She took our drink order. In about 8 more minutes a male server dressed like a patron sitting at the bar came over to take our drink order. We told him that we already placed our order. He returned with our water's and provided a " bendy" straw. ( Fine Dining) He also returned with my beer. Yes, a beer bottle and no frosty glass. In fact, no glass. (Fine Dining) Our salads came in a bowl that you can tell have been pre prepared in sitting in an ice cold refrigerator and was accompanied with a pre-packed salad dressing container. (Fine Dining) Our appetizers came pretty quick. The fried green tomatoes tasted like that were frozen then fried and not an item that I would suggest you choose. The bbq rib tips were not bad and plentiful. 2 minutes after we received our appetizers our main course arrived which really sucked. The server came to my wife offering hot sauce. She declined. I omitted that he offered hot sauce packets. ( Fine Dining) The main entrees we're just okay, but the expectations could have potentially met if the establishment listed their business as casual food fare and not (Fine Dining). For SAG I order cheesecake to go and the server had no idea if it was available or not. It was and it was just okay. I wouldn't recommend for anything other than just a basic place to go to. Oh, I forgot. Why were the collard greens so salty? So salty, you couldn't even make a second attempt. So if you need bendy straws, this is your spot. lol read more

The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was very good. The side salad was one of the best I've had. It was very fresh and flavorful. I had the bbq turkey ribs which were very good with an excellent Mac and cheese. It was all very tasty and for me - large portions. Which means I don't have to cook for another night. Was disappointed that at 5 30 the ribs - which is what I had wanted to try - were an hour away from being ready. In fairness it is a Wednesday night when they may not be as busy. Overall a great experience and will be back in warmer weather to be able to sit on the patio and enjoy some ribs. read more

This place is lousy. They are always overbooked and understaffed. the waitress would never come back to our table because she had too many tables to wait on. It took over an hour for the food to be delivered. The waitress got the order incorrect. The drinks were also watered down. We couldn't even get napkins. They even charged a service gratuity for greater than one person. What restaurant does this? The food overall was mediocre, overly spiced and too much salt. Will not be back. read more

Dear Yelpers, Yikes...I mean if you just came off the golf course and want to over pay for mediocre bar food, well then Edgar's might be ok. I had the "tacos" that were just snack wraps. Honestly, McDonald's might have been better. I also got the Mac and cheese bites. Or should I say fried air bites with cheese flavoring. Do not recommend. My wife said the chicken Philly was serviceable (came with Au Jus sauce for some reason...). Overall, just golf and leave. Even the drinks were pretty bad. And don't get me started on the DJ that blew my eardrums out. Couldn't even hear across the table it was so loud Your friendly neighborhood foodie read more

Had a great experience yesterday for sure We're from California, the friendly part where people are mostly still grateful. I've never been to Ohio and was grateful to check out Akron for sure. The place is beautiful and the food was good Especially Edgar's next to the golf course. The vibe was good as soon as we walked in. We sat out on the balcony with a nice view. The staff was all friendly, we encountered about 4-5 staff not including our server. They all had a good attitude and seemed happy to be there. I feel like our servers name was Danika (I could be wrong, spelling may be off all apologies if so) So was delightful, helpful, smiling and helped our overall experience in a positive way. She was on it from drinks, to bread, to salads coming out quick to paying attention to our orders and getting everything correct. You could tell she's done this for a while. Very attentive and made sure to bring extra napkins, drinks refilled, quality check ins to make sure we were good (I appreciate good service, and recognize it when it happens) it happened for sure at Edgar's She had a team around her as well who were on point to create an overall positive experience The food was good. I had the ribs with skillet potatoes, my wife and our friend both got a burger and both said it was good. My other fiend got a fish Sandwhich. I want to say walleyed fish. The bread and oil you dip It in was like no other. The blue cheese dressing is for sure homemade and really good. This was one of the best meals we've had so far in the last 3 days. I would highly recommend and go back again When Your traveling from out of state ? Doesn't matter from where. You always enjoy being treated well and taken care of. Good job to our server (seriously..thank you) Good job to the manager who sets the tone, you've got a great team We're grateful from California Mike S read more

Well rounded menu, newly remodeled. Chef Glen is a local icon. Whether fish, chicken, pork,or beef, you won't be disappointed. Fun place to hang out. read more

Atmosphere: They place is very nice and welcoming on the inside. It was a little hard to tell what it was from the outside because I think it's apart of a golf club or something. But I loved the lighting and the view out our booth was very nice. I can not say nicer things about our waitress. She knew we hadn't been there before so she went through the whole menu with us, picked out my wife's drink based on a number of questions she asked her which was pretty fun. Ended up with an espresso martini and it was probably the best martini either of us had. She had 2. She also recommended an excellent wine for me. Gosh I wish I could remember her name. Food: for appetizers, we had gotten the fried green tomatoes and the shrimp cocktail. The fried green tomatoes were not only a beautiful presentation but my wife absolutely loved them and devoured every bit with no pause (I got the shrimp cocktail cause I don't like tomatoes). The shrimp cocktail was also very delicious and very fresh. But that cocktail sauce. It's a lot spicier than any others I've had and that kick was so perfect! Best cocktail sauce ever. I was VERY disappointed that they didn't have jerk wings done on the smoker because that's what I was eyeing the whole time. I settled with the Edgar burger. I mean... it wasn't bad but it was just a burger. Cooked to my liking (medium) but just a normal burger you could get anywhere. When you got jerk wings on the mind, a not-so-flavorful burger doesn't slap the same way. I talked my wife into trying something new that night which is why we went to Edgar's, so she could try gumbo for the first time. I truly thought she would love some New Orleans style food. Wrong. It was beautiful but she hated the flavor. I however, thought all the staple ingredients and flavors were perfect. She ate the rest of my burger and I took the gumbo home. We ordered two desserts to take home and enjoy but right before we left, our waitress comes up to us and congratulates us on our new marriage and what does she do? SHE GIVES ME A TAKE HOME BOX OF JERK WINGS!!! Be still my beating heart. They were delicious! (I ate one on the way home) soooo fresh. Later that night we tried the lemon cheesecake and I have literally not been able to stop talking about it since. We WILL be back. Those jerk wings were life. And our waitress was a textbook example of the perfect waitress. Good job Edgar's! Can't wait to come back read more

Idk why this place has 4 stars. I only gave 2 stars cause the waiter was good. We came here for my daughter's birthday on a Friday night. Let's start with the bread, the free bread was half done the rest was uncooked dough. I ordered the seafood pasta the only thing it had was shrimp and a bunch of green chiles it was missing some other things that were supposed to be on the menu. My daughter ordered half rack ribs Mac n cheese and greens and let me tell you them greens was horrible. Canned greens tasted like a pound of salt the Mac n cheese tasted like old moldy cheese. Her friend ordered seafood gumbo. I have never seen gumbo so dry in my life. The calamari looked half done and the steak well it was just steak nothing special the mashed potatoes were dry. I would never eat here again I was very dissatisfied. The waiter was nice enough to take one of the meals off but we still paid over $100. Not worth it at all. And I see why nobody was here on a Friday night besides at the bar. My lemon drop was ok. read more

Edgar's Restaurant is at Good Park Golf Course in Akron. It's known for southern and Cajun cooking. I've been to New Orleans many times, always loved the food. And on this night in Akron, Edgar's was spot on with pine nut grouper salad and a seafood gumbo with andouille sausage topped with soft shell crab. Amazing flavor on his special take of a Cajun standard. #neworleansfood #Edgars #cajunfood read more

Edgar's is an experience! Eric was a delight, bbq turkey ribs were a delicious first, and the live music was excellent!

I'd definitely love to give it another try, but when we dined here a year ago, it wasn't the best experience. The service was slow, and the food was under seasoned. Great ambiance though, and would love to give it another go. read more

Made reservations with another couple for a Saturday arrived at the restaurant at the appointed hour to locked doors. Waited around for a bit, checked other doors and waited around some more. Finally a groundskeeper for the golf course shouted to us from the dumpster that they were catering somewhere offsite that evening. How nice, they closed the restaurant, but didn't freeze the reservation feature on their website, nor post that they were closing on the website, and finally failed to post even a handwritten note on the front door! The total lack of consideration not only for us but for anyone else foolish enough to believe the reservation function on the website or even the posted hours on the website that day , and presumably any other day Edgar's happens to have a catering job leaves completely godstruck. Based on other reviews they presumably know how to cook, but they don't seem to care a great deal about their integrity, (when one' actions and words are in congress.) read more

Had a wonderful time! Went for a birthday dinner. Atmosphere feels like a major city restaurant. Excellent customer service from everyone.

Highly recommend! Will be back again soon read more

We had our office party at Edgar's last night and were blown away by the outstanding service and food! Ben, our waiter, went all out in making sure we had a great experience. Sarah was great and kept the experience fun and upbeat! The menu is full of options you won't see anywhere else. I don't eat seafood so I was skeptical after reading the menu that I would enjoy going there. I was wrong! Everything we tasted was amazing! The prime rib was delicious. The meats have the most flavorful smoky flavor from the outdoor smokers. They adjusted my shrimp quesadilla and substituted chicken, which would be an unusual request, but no one even batted an eye and it turned out to be one of the best chicken quesadillas I have ever had! I chose the BBQ ribs and they were absolutely outstanding. I also loved the wedge salad with house made white French dressing. Bonus: Got to meet the owner /chef and he was humble and friendly. Five stars for sure and we'll be back for more of those amazing cocktails!! read more

Me: Get the smoked sirloin. You(after devouring it): Karl, thanks man! I had the absolute best steak I have had in a very long time. Perfection is what comes to mind. I recently had the aged ribeye at Del Frisco's in DC($$$$). It was good, not perfect. If you said, I will buy your aged ribeye for you Karl or you pay for you own Smoked Sirloin at Edgar's. I'm reaching for my wallet. Seriously the kitchen was on that night. And I just love how the owner takes time to come out and greet his customers. Now for the service...I am trying to be kind and keep giving places a pass r/t "the 19". All the newly hired servers deserve a break, but dang. Slow does not describe how slow. Man I am so glad we stayed. Baby, the entire meal more than made up for it. read more

I don't really consider this place "Fine dining" Prices are right, The food was good. Presentation was great. We got the prime ribs seasoned and cook perfectly but the texture/tenderness left me guessing if it was really USDA prime grade. The explicit uncensored hip hop also contributes dining experience. Im not saying anything negative or positive at this point. Was it worth what I paid absolutely. Would I bring the kids probably not. read more

Edgars was recommended by a relative. We had made a reservation online but when we arrived, the hostess was unaware and unable to locate it. The restaurant was not very busy with several tables available at the time but they were very hesitant to seat us. They also gave us a time limit of how long we could stay. Otherwise the service was nice, the food took a while to come out but everyone enjoyed their meal. I got the Shrimp & Crab Stuffed Alabama Catfish. I wasn't a fan of the mango salsa or crab portion of my meal as it was very soggy, it may have sat for too long, but maybe I just needed to order something else. If I were to go back I would get the prime rib, it looked amazing. read more

Never again. First of all the rating is based on a combination of husband's meal and mine. His was a five, mine was a zero. He had ribs, potatoes and salad and said all were declicious. I ordered frog legs and jicama slaw. They now bread the frog legs and they were terrible. Too much breading, too much seasoning. Awful. The waitress didn't bother to tell me they were out of the jicama slaw and they served regular slaw. I didn't want regular slaw and would have changed my order if I had known. The only good part of the meal was the bread. The waitress was really scarce. Took our order and disappeared. Reappeared when I sent back 90% of my dinner and brought a dessert to make up for it. If the meal was awful why would I ever think their dessert would be better? We live on the other side of town and we had to make a special trip to eat there. Never, ever again. read more
