Wow...the best food and beer in Akron. Great service and better beer in a relaxed casual atmosphere. The bbq Mac and cheese is amazing.

We're not in Akron often, but when we travel south, Lock 15 is on our rotation. The beer is good and after having tried most of the menu, the food is great too. I especially like the Shrimp and Grits. It's a bit different than most versions, more "stew-like" but excellent. The hand made chips are also fantastic. A pike of them and a beer could keep me happy for hours! Give it a try! read more

Very cute inside, kind of by nothing else and a little hard to find the door! But once inside we had a nice time. The kids chicken is amazing I wanted to steal it. The kids burger is also amazing and the fries that came with both are so so good. I had the vegan veggie burger with homemade chips. Everything was great. Very nice server too! It's a little pricey which will prevent me from going all the time, but I will definitely be back. read more

We stopped here on our way to visit the University of Akron. The restaurant wasn't too crowded when we were seated but within minutes the place filled up. Our waiter was prompt and friendly. I had a flight with the smash burger, side of saffron rice and Brussels sprouts. It was brought out super fast and it tasted delicious. The room gave brewery vibes, as it should! read more

Really yummy chili, French fries and draft beer. We had our dog so had to sit outside on patio and it was pretty cold and had just rained but the staff was quick to dry the table and chairs for us and was super quick in taking our order and delivering the food. read more

Was in the area and decided to stop in, unfortunately I didn't get to drink beer as I was the driver but I had a little sip and it was damn good! The food was good, the pictures speak for themselves, great service and great food. Can't go wrong, wish it was closer to Columbus but next time I'm in the area I'll stop by again. read more

Food was good. Wings were bland and didn't taste so good. But the service wasn't great. Jill was not happy to be there and made it feel like we were bothering her. It was Mother's Day so you would think the attitude could have been left at the door. Not even a hello but what you want to drink. Had to ask for a drink as she forget it. Just a bad experience. The smash burger was good. The venue was nice. We might try it again read more

A group of guys stopped for drinks and dinner at Lock 15 brewery. I had the Killer Fog IPA which is a black IPA. The IPA flavor was not very strong and it was just okay. The jerk chicken sandwich was not great and appears to be pulled chicken with a little flavoring that did not taste very much like jerk. We went on the day before Christmas Eve and sat by a table of 25 people who were extremely loud and ended up moving. Service was okay, nothing special. Hopefully our experience will be better next time. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner and was glad we did. My wife got the udon noodle salad with chicken and had a great flavor. I recommend if you have any leftovers, to heat it up as it tasted a little better with some warmth. The fish and chips I had tasted great, only criticism I have is I think the oil was past its prime as the fish was a little overdone. The Belgian triple was amazing and reminded me of when I lived in Belgium read more

Stopped in before a concert at the Akron Civic Theater. I did some research about a week prior for a good place to eat and grab drinks before the show and came across Lock 15. I was able to make reservations and in the end, there were bar seats available when we arrived so we grabbed a seat there! Sampled a flight and ordered their smoked wings. The bartender suggested the Cajun wings with buffalo sauce. Great choice! Good kick and flavor was delicious. Enjoyed our flight as well. Surprising flavor we tried was a beer infused with Waffle Crisp cereal. It tasted just like the cereal! Had great service, the atmosphere was relaxing, and bathrooms clean. read more

We went at 5:30 on a Sunday evening and the dining room was quiet and uncrowded. They were able to seat us at once. DH and I both ordered the fish and chips, which were just fine--pub grub, nothing fancy. I wish we had asked our waiter to ask the kitchen not to put added salt on the fries as they were pretty salty. Nice place! We'd go again! read more

The place is super cute in an old warehouse. Easy to find, service was great. A big plus was being able to make reservations and having a kids menu. Had one of the best sours ever (cherry pineapple) and everyone's food was great. Very family oriented and a cool place all-around. read more

Cool place with great beer and good food! We enjoyed and would return. The fish fry was piping hot and crispy, great coleslaw. Chorizo sausage sandwich was good, right amount of spice. Killer Fog IPA is great! read more

Not quite ready to be done for the day, I stopped in here and spent an hour or two with a beer and some wifi. It's a nice place and seating the bar area was comfortable. Service was slow to start but we got there and I was able to enjoy my beverage and set up with the laptop for a bit. Lots of beer options, I enjoyed The Grandfather Lager. Tasty.

This is a great brewery. Great beer. Great food. Came here after a LONG ride on the tow path trail. I got a flight of beer. It came out in a little canal boat and I loved that. They have a very long list of their own beers with a lot of options. All four that I tried were great. I got a lock burger and fries, too. The fries were amazing and the burger was great. The patio had amazing vibes. I think part of it is made of the old lock wall? I'm a fan. The server was amazing and everything I ordered came out quick. Hit this place up on your next towpath ride in Akron. read more

During a cross country drive, we were on the last leg from SEA to Pennsylvania and were in dire need of a sit down, freshly cooked meal. We came across the highly positive reviews for Lock 15 and deemed it worthy enough to travel a bit off the beaten path and were so glad we did! We were greeted and seated right away on a busy Sunday night. Football was on all TVs. Service was friendly and the bartender recommended great in-house brews. Both dining and bar areas were busy, but clean and the vibe was still relaxing and provided a nice breather from the long drive. Definitely recommend, everything is amazing! read more

Food is very good. service can be slow due to the crowd. noisy. we will go back for the food

Come here. The exotic influences and attention to detail will have you experience food that, to be honest, I don't expect to find when pulling off for a meal in Akron, Ohio. The Mulligatawny Soup will have me driving back here as long as it's on the menu. Our server was great, Kim. Food arrived quick and was at great of temps. I want to come back in the summer. The patio looks like the place to be on a warm night. The location itself hold a lot of history and adds to the overall experience. 10/10 read more

Easy parking and good service. The rotating menu was limited but high quality. The sandwiches were very dry and while they had very good sauces they were extra. The sides were also lacking compared to the entrees read more

The service was on point. The place was set up quite well. You knew you were in a brewery and you could see the kitchen staff hard at work. It wasn't very loud but we went at an off time and you have a choice of indoor or out door seating. The food was really good. With the exception of the jalapeño grits. They should have been a bit creamier but they were on the dry side. The kids smash burger is huge but super tasty. We also had the chicken lettuce wraps with peanut sauce which was delicious. 4.5/5 stars. read more

This place is awesome - we came here for a business dinner and it definitely didn't disappoint. We had made a reservation for 20+ so they set us up with two long tables next to each other and assigned a few extremely friendly and efficient servers to our group, the service here was absolutely exceptional. We ordered lots of appetizers for both tables and all of them were delicious and came out quickly. I will say the Korean Wings were definitely my favorite and seemed to be the favorite of most in our group. I started out with the Christmas Ale without the brown-sugar coated rim it was served at the perfect temperature and a great choice I also decided to try a few other drafts which were equally satisfying. I chose the Pho for my entrée the broth was very rich and complex and paired with a large portion of duck meatballs and sliced smoky brisket along with tender rice noodles and a nice accompaniment of vegetables. Being the weather outside was in the low 30's and definitely something I am no longer used to this was perfect, after one taste it wouldn't matter what the weather is I'd order this again it is probably some of the best I've had...ever. This is a beautiful venue and they definitely can accommodate large groups, all the food was out of the kitchen fast and was delicious, the beers were outstanding and we couldn't have been more pleased with the service. I really hope we schedule future business dinners here, they really exceeded everyone's expectations... read more

We attended an event in the area on a Friday night and stopped in afterwards for a late dinner. The place was kind of winding down when we arrived but it seemed to be family friendly and probably a little on the louder side earlier in the evening. I was excited to try some craft beer and the squad car quad did not disappoint! My partner originally ordered a brew that was described as having a "hint of smoke" that really tasted like drinking a bottle of liquid smoke... but once that was sent back he got something more palatable. We shared the chicken saltimbocca sandwich and tried fries along with our chips. It was really good! Maybe a little light on the sauces for that much meat but delicious. The food runner offered a delicious gorgonzola sauce for our fries when I asked for ranch for dipping, and even though it's not in the picture, it was a real highlight! We mostly enjoyed the meal even if service lagged a few times. read more

Lock15 has great food. Love the fish and chips, burgers and italian beef. I dont drink but the food here is worth it. Excellent!

Great food, great beer, local owned, great service, good vibe all around. I said everything I needed to but this is because Yelp puts character requirements on their reviews. I shall now recite to you the Lorax by Dr. Seuss... read more

Do you like fish & chips?! This place will make it so you never go anywhere else for it ever again, it's that good!! Ya, sure they are a brewery, the beer is good, but did I mention the fish & chips?! in all seriousness the portions are huge, the remoulade the serve with it is bomb (order extra) and the coleslaw is so unique! For drink options, they also have NA choices available so everyone can find something they like. The service... it's pretty good. It could be a bit better. I don't think the servers we've had have ever been the friendliest, but they are all working hard and by no means rude. The ambiance is very open, and a bit loud. A pretty casual environment. Highly recommended giving it a try! read more

Food was amazing, server was helpful but busy, outdoor seating isn't the best, but it works! Parking can be tricky, bring your truck!

Great beers and more than just bar food. The shandy and Irish Red were spot on. The smoked wings were great and I also had the white chicken chili which was really good on a cool evening. Btw, the also had some nice cocktails on the menu. read more

I found this place when on business travel. The draft beer options were many, as you can assume by the "Brewing Company" in their name. I ate off the appetizer menu and was impressed with my selections. Next time I visit, I will make it past the appetizer and onto the entree portion of the menu. I sat at the bar, since I was visiting alone and the bar staff was friendly, helpful, and amazing. I did not walk around inside, but the bar area was clean and appealing. The parking was difficult, but I found a spot. read more

After a long day of traveling on bumpy roads we were thrilled to find Lock 15!!! We entered a welcoming environment and were quickly given a table. There is an extensive list of craft beers. The gose, rye IPA and triple were all fantastic. Needing food, we quickly ordered and received the ceviche. It was a refreshing combination of rock shrimp, cucumber, watermelon, arugula accented with thinly sliced spicy red peppers. For entrees, I had to have the fish and chips as I didn't make it to my favorite WI supper club on our recent trip. This was by far, a step up. Freshly battered, crispy and hot fish topped a pile of fries with a incredible sauce and side of slaw. Not your average slaw either, I think it was kale - healthier than the usual slaw some places use as a afterthought, this was a star side item. Schweety, as he often does, went with the burger. Great brioche bun, fresh toppings, quality meat! For a side, he added the jalapeño grits. Definitely worth the up-charge! Thank you, Lock 15 for salvaging the day! read more

Pleasantly surprised by the food, while service was just okay. Took us a minute to figure out parking, it's along the side of building rather than the lot for the apartment. We sat outside under the large tent. Our waitress felt super out of it, taking a long period of time to bring out our food and check in later. We started with the cheese bread which was probably my favorite item. My husband ordered the wings which he also enjoyed and I ordered the mussels. The food was all excellent, but only had one round of beer because our waitress never came back. read more

It's a cool place but the signage of where it's at is a little difficult to see. There's decent parking behind the building and in a separate lot as well 1 block up. Wait time wasn't bad for a Friday at Happy Hour times. We got a drink from the bar (average cost $10 a person) and then sat for food. Our waiter was great and funny. The food was decent as well but a little on the expensive side for what we ordered. read more

From out of town and wanting to stop at a brewery with food and we hit the jackpot. Lots of nice cocktails and of course beer. I got a flight and enjoyed everything in it- which included sours, holiday ales and stouts. My friends margarita was maybe a bit too much sour mix however. Our waitress was extremely friendly and gave lots of great suggestions about food. I have a gluten sensitivity and I am a vegetarian and my friend is completely gluten intolerant so we were happy to see lots of options for us on the menu. She got the Port Salut hamburger minus the bun with the jalapeño grits. The grits were spectacular. I got the vegan mushroom bulgogi which was just incredible, it was a huge plate of food I couldn't finish with lots of fresh mushrooms and a spicy sauce. I would definitely come back up to this brewery just to have dinner. It wasn't busy when we got there and later on it was packed, so I'm glad to see that people know that this place has great food and beer . read more
