After visiting Kent State University we needed a place to relax and have a snack. We found "The…read moreRiver Merchant" 5 minutes from campus on the Cuyahoga River. It is easy to find, easy to park, spacious with plenty of seating and an outdoor deck overlooking the river. We were seated promptly and greeted by a very nice young lady by the name of Lorelei (quite a wonderful name). She was effective, efficient, pleasant, and made our experience that much better. At the entrance was a surprisingly well stocked wine cellar with some very good names. I was looking forward to a nice glass of wine for lunch. Unfortunately, the table selection only included a very few obscure names by the glass, so that option was out. The menu included all the standard burgers, flatbreads, and odds and ends one would expect. The food was good and we had a nice lunch. We finished with a nice cup of coffee and a pleasant smile from Lorelei. I very much enjoyed our excursion to Kent State University and "The River Merchant". I would recommend both.

This Bibibop location just opened in June and when I found out that it was opening in Kent, I was…read moreso excited! I went about two weeks for the first time and then a few days ago and it was really good. The people working were nice and efficient and the food was amazing as always. The inside is really nice too, it's the nicest bibibop I've ever seen personally. There is a lot of seating options and it felt like there was more space than other locations that I've been to.

In a nut shell it's an Asian chipotle. Pick your own proteins, carbs, veggies, sauce... And they all seem to be really good. I'm sure there are other reviews that go into more in depth descriptions about each one but we've been back twice, I've tried several protein options, noodles, rices, veggies and sauces and they have all been great. We will be back. Oh and don't forget the different flavor lemonades. Hibiscus?? Yes please.

Spoke to both owners who are friendly and very passionate about serving healthy and tasty food. This place is known for their vegetarian options but they also have chicken dishes. I will be trying the restaurant soon and will update my review but biased on what I have you should give this place a try.

This place is absolutely amazing in the food department! I got the Mac Attack, which was an entire…read morepound of mac and cheese with pulled pork and bbq sauce. It was so insanely good. The service was great. The only thing I wish is that they were more transparent on prices and what certain things were. It was $11.95 for a regular sized bowl, but it was plus an extra $4 for a protein, which is usually included in the base price at most places. Also, I had no idea what their super sauce was, haha. Probably wouldn't go again, just because the price is pretty expensive for me as a college student. Definitely recommend.

We came here for the first time last night for celebratory drinks and dinner. Our waitress was so…read morenice and she did a great job of checking jn on us without being too invasive, I really appreciated her taking care of us. The place was smaller than I expected because I assumed it was a market due to the website haha but after learning more about how they get their meat from a local farm, I understood better. Was very pretty and modern inside with a twist of old fashioned decorative items like mason jar/wooden wheel chandeliers. Drinks came out fast, I got the banana old fashioned which was good. Not much banana flavor though but there was a subtle banana hint, so if you like an old fashioned on the sweeter side, I'd say you'd enjoy this cocktail. The food was good, we started with the soup of the day with was a DELICIOUS bacon Mac n cheese soup served with two pieces of naan (the naan was meh but overall good pairing with the soup). My partner had a chicken sandwich which he enjoyed even though he said it was pretty salty. I was very pleased with my T.F.R smash burger. But my favorite part of everything we ate were the fries! The FRIES! They were fried to crispy perfection and the batter was so fluffy and delish. They were very nicely seasoned and surprisingly had bits of garlic pieces throughout that you can eat or set aside.

Had high hopes for this place but have to be honest...both BF and I agreed that it's like a 3.5…read more Portions are rather small, prices are high and the wait is long. The menu is very limited and there are so many upcharges. I do appreciate the happy hour pricing on weekends too though. Presentation is nice though. I ordered the confit wings $20 and they were really dry and so very un-confit like. I wanted to try 2 different sauces so the server said I can only do that if I get them on the side. But I know other places have much crunchier, juicier wings even plain. The sauces were just okay. No side of ranch and wish there were some carrots thrown in. Bonus points for having some fun board and card games stocked that you can borrow from the front! That was neat! BF is friends with a worker here and he was great! He was effusive, warm, solicitous and really helpful. If we go back here, it'll be for the brunch since that menu looked more interesting. I've been here in 2024 for The Watson speakeasy as well so very familiar with the area.

We started off with some appetizers Cheese Curds and Fried Green Tomatoes. I hade the Lake Perch Dinner & my husband had the Pulled Pork Dinner with a side of Plantains and Rice.

Almost everything on the menu can be make Gluten free, they have a dedicated fryer and mark your food with a GF stick. The staff was very friendly and answered all our questions on the menu.

Anyway: We ordered up a Carmenere and a Pinot Noir to start, tasty glasses of wine, and enjoyed the view. Dinner was the Shrimp Scampi and Linguine and a Salmon spiced just right with broccoli. Great meals. Washed those down with Sangiovese and a Cabernet Sauvignon. Polished off with a flourless chocolate cake. Pretty good, and kinda like a lighter fudge cake. Total prior to tip $107. Good meal good surroundings. This is not a weekly stop, but every couple of months it is a nice place to dine.

I was pleasantly surprised with my entire experience. FOOD: I always order perch when it's on the menu. And so, I ordered Crispy Lake Perch ($25). Perch was fried and seasoned to perfection. One of the best and most plentiful perch dishes that I've tasted. AMBIANCE: Casual restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed my meal on the patio on the perfect summer day. Lake views are gorgeous. You're able to walk right up to the lake and take photos. I really wish one could swim in the lake. SERVICE: Service was very attentive and pleasant. I really enjoyed that my meal was delivered to my table at lightning speed. PARKING: Gravel lot parking I look forward to returning. Next time I'm thinking of enjoying brunch and a book. The views are gorgeous, be sure to visit!

The hummus' texture was different than other versions I've tried from other middle eastern cuisines, but the flavor was fantastic. As for the platter, WOW, I didn't expect that depth of flavor.
