One minor gripe: the mac and cheese is a little one-note. It's not bad, it just doesn't surprise you. A little more depth -- sharper cheese, a hit of something acidic or smoky -- and it would be a standout instead of an afterthought.

Our dinner choices were Airline Chicken ($26) and Jumbo Shrimp ($40). They both were disappointing. The chicken was dry and tasteless and the shrimp was cooked but lukewarm. Our server Henry wasn't very attentive and the vibe of the place was weak. I would never go back for a second time. Parking is on the the street if you can find a spot or in a garage out back. Disappointing to say the least.

Legendary grilled cheese bar of Akron, complete with little umbrellas on each sandwich. You cannot…read moreeat these tiny umbrellas, but they do somehow make the sandwiches taste amazing, but again do not try to eat these small umbrellas they are inedible. I keep reading these reviews saying the sandwiches are dry. If you are lacking saliva be sure to ask your kind server for some extra sauce like ranch or blue cheese or something. The bartenders are like little fairy people and I don't know where they even found barbacks this good, they are like machine elves keeping the fabric of time weaving along. it's a marvel to witness these normal regular human people do their jobs with expert timing. It's hard to believe they are even real people at all, but perhaps inter dimensional beings sent to earth to teach us more about ourselves and feed us tasty food and bevs. The owner Danny B is a really cool dude and curates a selection of some vintage art films, bob ross, and other incredibly quirky things on the tvs, and the atmosphere is one of the most unique Akron-esque places you could hope to spend your precious time left here on earth. Go have a life changing experience in sleepy old Akron Ohio at this legendary establishment

It's worth noting that they share a space with Magic City Brewing and when walking in, it wasn't immediately clear what we were supposed to do. The only bartender on staff wasn't particularly talkative/welcoming in the sense of explaining what was going on or how things worked ...and the Cult Kitchen staff are behind a window past the bar. (I dont necessarily blame CK for the MCB bartender, but they're choosing to share that space and it's part of the experience so it seems like it's relevant.) We sat down at a booth and realized was a small table sign with a QR code for the food and drink menu. Below the codes is a small line of text that explains to go to the Cult Kitchen window for food and go to the bar for drinks. This isn't necessarily a bad setup, just had to adjust our mindset as it's more casual and in line with a food truck experience. ...like going up to the window more ketchup (it's in little lidded containers) for all those fries ...and cleaning up after yourself, as there is no one busing tables. Again, the food was very good but the overall experience was just lacking. It seems like it could be something really special if the hospitality and service was there!

It was pretty basic. Two peperoncini peppers and a radish adorned the top. There were four sticks of salami, no pepperoni or ham and the salad was covered with cheese. The salad dressing was on the light side and you could barely taste it, recommend you ask for it on the side. I ordered the sausage and meatball splash and my spouse had the rigatoni. Both entrées were just ok. The bread was great and served warm. Our waitress was attentive w/o being a bother. They finally accept credit cards albeit with a surcharge. I've had better meals in the past at Luigis.

I dined on Sunday, February 26th around 12:30 p.m. and my waitress was wonderful. I believe her name started with a K. She was helpful without being overbearing. As a solo diner, she made me feel welcome and at-ease. I got the Combo #4 and added a pound of King Crab legs. I requested garlic butter with medium spice and added an egg. This all came with potatoes and corn and the food came out perfectly cooked and seasoned. I was pleasantly surprised that the egg was not overdone. I was surprised at the volume of crab I received. I got so much crab I was struggling to finish! My husband is sadly allergic to shellfish so when I eat it I am on my own. I was so happy with my experience and will certainly be back when I am in town!
