I've never been here before but I know it's a fairly popular place so I was quick to agree to the location. We originally sat at the bar but the stools were so incredibly uncomfortable, so we moved to a booth. While our server was nice, it did take her quite a while to come take our drink order. I got a "lavendar breeze" for my first drink and it was delicious. The menu is small, with the focus being on grilled cheese sandwiches. I'm not a huge grilled cheese lover, so I ordered a wedge salad (with house white French dressing) and the sauerkraut balls from the appetizer menu. The salad was on par with what you'd expect, the dressing was tasty. The sauerkraut balls, though, kind of threw me. First, it's a HUGE serving. There was around 30-40 sauerkraut balls in the basket; way more than I ever imagined would be in an order. I was expecting four or five golf ball sized balls. Maybe I've been spoiled by having some fantastic sauerkraut balls, but these were subpar, at best. They didn't have a lot of flavor and the cocktail sauce they served with them was an odd choice. While I still enjoyed time catching up with a friend and the drinks were well done, I doubt I'll come back for food. The menu just wasn't appealing to me and what I did have wasnt good enough to lure me back anytime soon.

Our service was amazing and the drinks and food came quickly - we didn't need anything ever (which is a remarkable feat for a table of that size!). Seriously kudos to the wait staff - best service I've had in years. Food is always great at Crave as well. We started with salads and the steak skewers which are jam packed with spice and flavor. My husband loved his smoked Gouda Mac and cheese with crispy chicken on top. He tried so hard to save some for leftovers but ended up not being able to. I had the salmon which was perfect medium and had a really good Asian sauce with it accompanied by rice and veggies which were also cooked to perfection. We were lucky to have a back room so we had a little more privacy which was nice but the restaurant was packed for a Saturday night so I'd recommend a reservation for sure. Another thing that was nice - $7 valet parking. Super convenient and cheap!

We went last night and it wasn't good at all. The drinks were terrible - not balanced at all. The are martini tasted of cheap vodka. However, the drinks here were never that good. My nephew's waffle (chicken & waffles) was burnt, my filet wasn't properly cooked, and the wrap my niece got looked dry and burnt as well. We ordered a side of fries that didn't arrive until we were done with our meal. Same with the drink my husband ordered. The server wasn't great. The food was dry and bland. We WILL NOT be back. Such a shame. This placed used to be packed Friday and Saturday nights. Now it's a ghost town, down to a 2 sided paper menu, with bad drinks & bland, expensive, improperly cooked food

The turkey Reuben style sandwich had deli style chicken, not the best meat; it was just okay. The French fries were good. I ordered a side of coleslaw. I didn't care for it.

Atmosphere was fun and relaxed with a few TVs and arcade games, various types of seating and plenty of windows to watch the world go by.

Served at the perfect temp and the sugared rim is a must -do. They have a menu that looks pretty interesting. Next time I'll order some food and the berry sour.

This place has been a staple in Akron for decades, so my husband and I dined there last night to…read morecelebrate our anniversary. We won't be going back. Don't get me wrong: the food is fine (in the most mediocre sense). Full disclosure: We don't eat red meat, so I can't comment on their steaks, which is what the place is known for. This is a classic case of tradition masquerading as fine dining. There's no subtly or nuance to the cuisine. The oysters Rockefeller was overly sauced, and the salad was overdressed. My salmon was a bit overcooked, but the baked potato was very good. The dessert, a brownie with ice cream, ate like a Little Debbie squirted with Hershey chocolate sauce. I will say that our server was wonderful and was working very hard. The ambiance, however, was sad. We were seated in the bar area on very uncomfortable wooden benches. Honestly, it felt like a Cracker Barrel. At the bar was an obnoxiously loud man dropping F-bombs and saying homophobic things. He pretty much ruined any enjoyment we had a hope of having. Finally, Diamond Grille doesn't accept credit cards, which we knew, but again, our enjoyment was dampened by having to keep track of how much everything cost so we didn't spend more than the cash we had gotten out of the ATM on our way. The hostess told us they were planting their feet and never taking cards, and I just don't understand why, in the 21st century, a business would alienate customers like this. All in all, this place is resting on its past reputation, and in my opinion, it's unearned.

We sat at the bar counter and the service was fast, friendly, and welcoming. We went on a Monday morning, and the place was pretty busy - we didn't have to wait for a table or anything, but 85% of the tables were definitely taken. You can see the kitchen from the bar, and there is a small "take out" window where they run a Drive-Tru from. Such a great idea, and it seemed like a very smooth operation! As you enter the Blue Door Cafe, immediately to your left is a small Bakery Service counter, with a beautiful display case. It smells so good in there! The menu was very unique, but packed with lots of delicious options, and we were told that the menu changes frequently, based on seasonal availability of locally sourced ingredients. I'm not so good with words, but let me say this: Everything was incredible! Fresh, made-to-order, and delicious! I will let the pictures do the talking

Love the vibes of this place! I wish I didn't leave so full,…read moreso that I would have wanted to take home something from that display at the front. I got the biscuits and gravy, and my mom got the avocado toast. The biscuits and gravy plate is HUGE. Two amazing biscuits, tasty gravy, although it had a little too much sweetness for my preference. And I can't remember if I ordered the eggs, or if it came with it. The potatoes were fine, nothing extremely special. I'm not local, but whenever I come in town my family LOVES to bring me here. I'd like to come try the dinner menu before giving them 5 stars. But I'm definitely a fan, and will be happy to go back anytime I'm in town:) Thanks for having me! See ya next time.
