Stopped in on a weekday for lunch and there was hardly anyone there. Got a table right away and the service was fine. Not great, but not bad either. The food was so good and very reasonably priced. The wings and fried chicken were delicious. Sides were good, too! I left there very full with leftovers. I'll definitely be going back again to try more of the menu. (I am not going to let this dock my rating--but I will say the decor/interior and overall vibe was kind of odd. Dark and not very appealing. Also, there was a tabletop display explaining they want to be fun, but then went on to explain the automatic tip various etiquette/rules. Felt the opposite of fun. Anyways, I don't presume to know what it's like to own and operate a restaurant, but it stuck out to me and did impact the atmosphere.) read more

Got fried catfish with 2 sides included for $19,I added a side because I was curious about blue cheese coleslaw. Only one piece of fish I thought it wasn't enough but it was a big piece though so it was good ,fried just right crispy well seasoned got fried okra very good and greens also very good well seasoned. The blue cheese coleslaw was very good if you like blue cheese you'll like it . Also got a drink Purple Rain don't remember what's in it but it was good , I like sweet drinks , it wasn't too sweet just right. They waited on me quickly not busy Sunday while the Browns game was going on,nice location plenty of parking read more

We were very disappointed in this restaurant. We had a group who f eight people and we were all looking forward to shrimp and grits as well as jambalaya. We had an early reservation at 6PM. When we got there we were surprised that there were only two other tables occupied. The hat should have been the first clue. We ordered drinks and one person wanted an old fashioned with one of the whiskeys listed on their menu only to find out they were out of it as well as their second choice. When we ordered our dinners they only had 2 dinners left of both the shrimp and grits as well as the jambalaya so not everyone was able to get what they wanted. The shrimp and grits was delicious but the jambalaya and the Chicken Etoufee was very bland. When we paid the bill I quickly looked at the itemized bill to make sure each item we ordered was listed and nothing extra. I then signed the credit card slip and added a 20% tip. After I got back to the hotel I looked at the itemized bill again and saw that they added a 18% service charge. At no time we're we told that they automatically added the 18% for parties if 6 or more. In fact even for parties of less then 6 people they automatically add a 15% gratuity giving the patrons no option of tipping less. This policy was also not printed on the credit card receipt. In fact on the credit card receipt listed various suggested tips for various percentages. They should have told us this when we made our reservation or when the waiter brought the bill. Unfortunately I can not recommend this restaurant. read more

Went in today after my graduation looking for a place to eat in Akron. Went in and the waitress ignored us until another couple came in and then took care of them before us. Once she saw us she had a very poor attitude towards us and didn't hardly get a refill for us when needed. Once the food came out it was awful. I got the jambalaya and it was bland and for sure microwaved. My girlfriend got chicken tenders which were fine but the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese were awful. And for the last dish my mother got a burger well done and it looked like a grill brick. It tasted awful as well. The best thing we had was the water. To sum it up, poor service, poor food, poor attitude. Would not recommend what so ever. For soul food it's definitely pretty soul less. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. Went with some friends last week and needless to say I will NEVER go back!! They have a FULL Bar there yet the bartender did not know how to make me a Martini or my other guest a Mojito, I'm sorry but I can do both at my home and I'm not a bartender. I ordered the Fried Chicken Gizzards... disgusting!!! Now i love Fried Chicken Gizzards and I have had better at Cracker Barrel. So for this place to claim they are making Southern Soul Food I beg to differ. Our waitress (Aretha) had a serious attitude problem. The only tip I should of left her was if you don't like your JOB go find a new one!!! $41.00 dollars down the drain. read more

I've ate here a few times and it's just ok. I hate to say it but the Mac isn't good and I feel that's the 1st thing you have to have mastered to truly be called a Soul Food Restaurant. The 1st time I went I got shrimp and grits with a side of Mac. The shrimp and grits was good. The second time I went I got smothered chicken with rice and gravy. I was given boneless chicken tenders as my chicken! I was in such disbelief I couldn't do anything but laugh to my friends that were with me. We also purchased the sweet potato bar. Which had a cookie bottom and sweet potato filling (this is how it was described to us) but only problem is it was DEFINITELY pumpkin filling. I'm sorry but YUCK! So if they get the Mac together and add some real desserts like maybe banana pudding, peach cobbler, pound cake they'd be able to add more flavor. read more

We just held an event for 30 people today. I have never been treated with such disdain and disrespect. Other reviews have commented on the lack of professionalism of the staff. This is a mild statement. The staff is disrespectful because of their leadership who is the owner. What we thought was going to a wonderful experience left us wishing we had chosen another venue. While the food is seasoned well, so is my fried chicken and fish. If you don't mind being mistreated you can survive doing takeout. There is one employee who was wonderful she prepares the food.

She was extremely friendly and charismatic and definitely has a passion for this new venture of hers. She offered samples of a few different items off her menu and we decided on an order of bionico. Bionico is a modern Mexican twist on a traditional fruit salad. It gained popularity in the 1990s in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco. Rosita's version contains fresh cut papaya, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, apples and banana. She offered it with toppings of granola, coconut flakes and pecans. Then it is drizzled with a generous portion of a sweet crema. The bionico was so good! It was so much better and more refreshing than the best ice cream you can get in the area. Another person ordered a Piña Loca which is another refreshing fruit-based treat. She also offers some savory snacks such as the Chicharrones Preparados and Ceviche which would go great as a side with some tacos from Taqueria El Paso next door.

Beyond the food, every plate looked like a work of art. You could tell the kitchen artists take immense pride in presentation without sacrificing flavor. The service was warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced. We never felt rushed, and every recommendation was spot on. If someone asked me where to experience one of the best dining experiences in Ohio, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. I'd tell them to drive to The Blue Door in Cuyahoga Falls. This wasn't just dinner. It was an experience.

It looked like it could have been good if it hadn't have sat out so long before it was brought to the table. Potatoes were cold. Toast was cold. Quiche was cold. The server, on the other hand, was incredible. He was attentive, friendly and a true star in our bad food experience. There were two of us, and the total for breakfast plus two coffees and tip was more than $70. Portions are huge. Ambiance was nice. Sad it didn't knock it out of the park.

Marques, a new restaurant located in Akron, Ohio, is a culinary gem that will leave diners with a lasting impression. From the moment you enter the cozy and welcoming space, you are transported to a world of rich flavors and delicious cuisine. The menu at Marques is a carefully curated selection of dishes that showcase the best of Southern cuisine. One standout dish that I tried was the gumbo, which was masterfully crafted with complex flavors and perfectly balanced spices. The gumbo was rich and hearty, with tender chunks of meat and vegetables that were expertly cooked to perfection. Another standout dish was the yams, which were simply outstanding. The perfectly cooked yams were bursting with flavor, with just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the savory notes. The dish was hearty and satisfying, and a true testament to the chef's skill in creating dishes that both comfort and delight the senses. While the food at Marques is exceptional, the dimly lit dining room did detract somewhat from the overall experience. This is a minor quibble, however, as the food more than makes up for any shortcomings in the ambiance. Overall, Marques is a culinary destination that should not be missed. The restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients and expert preparation is evident in every dish, and diners will leave feeling both satisfied and inspired by the culinary artistry on display. read more

The eggs were also cooked well. Unfortunately, something about the potatoes and bread tasted a little off. I'm not sure if it was the butter they used or something else, but there was a flavor that I just didn't enjoy. The food was definitely cooked well, and the steak was the highlight of the meal. If they could figure out whatever was causing that unusual flavor, I think this could easily be a better experience.

What a delicious mistake!…read more A friend and I enjoy exploring different corners of Akron, finding new places to walk around and grab lunch. While driving through what locals call "The Valley," I noticed the large new sign for Michael's A.M. and decided we should give it a try. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed. The patio area was clean and inviting, and the inside was equally spotless. We were quickly seated, and our server, Charles, greeted us almost immediately. He was friendly, attentive, and told us he inherited his beautiful blue eyes from his mother--a fun little conversation that made us smile. My friend ordered the Strawberry Crêpes, which were soft and filled with fresh strawberries, topped with a rich cream sauce and generous whipped cream. She absolutely loved them. I went in a savory direction and ordered the Reuben sandwich with house-made chips. The sandwich was delicious--grilled rye bread piled with corned beef and sauerkraut. I especially appreciated that the Thousand Island dressing was served on the side, allowing me to add as much or as little as I wanted. The chips were freshly made, although they were seasoned with an onion-flavored seasoning that wasn't quite to my taste. I would have preferred simple salt, but that's purely personal preference. My husband ended up enjoying the leftover chips when I brought them home! One thing that stood out was Charles's attention to detail. When I packed up half of my sandwich, he even offered a separate container for the extra Thousand Island dressing. It was a small gesture, but very thoughtful. The restaurant was busy with people of all ages, and there seemed to be plenty of staff to keep things running smoothly. The menu is available all day, so you can enjoy breakfast or lunch whenever you visit--which I assume is the inspiration behind the "A.M." name. I noticed several menu favorites being recommended, including their quiche, Eggs Benedict, and vegetarian options. They're open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and most meals appear to fall in the $10-$20 range per person. We took a chance on a restaurant we'd never visited before, and I'm so glad we did. I can't wait to go back and try breakfast next time!
