They have some of the best fried chicken in the area, and their cheesesteaks are on point as well. The service is always friendly. It's a small place that doesn't have a restroom is its main drawback. They have deli selections and other little things for sale there. Give them a try. read more

The staff members could not be friendlier! Even all of the customers were very nice. The food smells amazing and you can smell it on your way inside. Their fried chicken is the best! Only note: check the dates on the items in the fridge, the eggs were old. read more

If you love Broasted Chicken, this is the place! Yelp had great ratings and it was spot on. So crispy juicy and tasty it's all you want in a fried chicken, yet those that know will agree there's something special about Broasted Chicken. The service was kind and helpful for me a newcomer. The store was fine but it's a take out place with no seating. I had to eat a piece in the car it smelled so good! Oh and the Taters are a great compliment too. read more

Excellent food to go and the deli prices are great too. Well not sure what else to say but this stupid page needs more than 85 characters.

I specifically ordered all dark for my 12 piece. It wasn't. Many white . The chicken had been cooked in really old grease and this was ordered at 12 noon It was the worst food ever gotten there. Check your orders. Paid $30 and was waited on by someone who kept yawning in my face. Hate to see a good place go bad like this. Made me wait 5 minutes on the phone to talk to someone.

I ordered almost $100 worth of food and it never got delivered! Every time I try to order they say they can't! I'm literally a few blocks away. read more

ordered same things we always get 25 wings, split in two flavors. well, we got there today and not only would they not split the flavor, they had no sauce at all one them because of this. so we had to wait for them to add the sauce still only would give us one flavor. additionally, they were not very nice about it. unfortunately, when we got home the wings were ice cold and didn't even taste the same. read more

Good day. I am reaching out today to express my overall disappointment in our order from this past weekend. We ordered 8 half sheet pizzas. First let me tell you that we generally love your food and pizza. We actually frequently drive from North Canton all the way up here to get pizza, chicken and Jo-Jo. Which is why when we were having my daughters 7th birthday at the Akron Zoo getting pizza from you guys was a no brainer. The timing was great and the service was great as well. However, when we got to the zoo and opened the pizza for the first time we were, to say the least, shocked at the appearance of it. They were very small compared to the size of the box, most of the crust was over done, the amount of toppings was limited (some slices of sausages didn't even have one sausage on it, most had 1-3 pieces on it). The crust seemed like it was store bought crust with no flavor. To say we were shocked and disappointed is an understatement. read more

The chicken is phenomenal. The best in Barberton hands down. The employees are always polite and friendly.

If I'm having a party or just hungry for something that taste homemade I always go to Showcase. Besides having the best chicken and Jo Jo's , their daily specials are as close to homemade as you can get. They have a wonderful selection of pies, cakes and cookies that you can pick out for dessert as well. When I do feel like cooking you can bet that's when I'm getting my meat too. I've never been disappointed in their pork chops, hamburger, roast or their Del Monica steaks. The deli always has some fresh sides to complement any meal your making. It's definitely a one stop shop. read more

The chicken was good, 2 pieces (of 8) had spots on the bottom of the pieces that looked uncooked, maybe they had to much moisture where they sat. JoJo's were decent, tender and good flavor. Unless you LOVE black pepper, SKIP the hot rice. The black pepper was overwhelming. Some of the onions were like leather and inedible, and for my taste the tomatoes were a little too chunky. IF I do order from there again, it will not be the hot rice. Chicken 6 out of 10 JoJo's 7.8 out of 10 Hot rice 2 out of 10 read more

We stopped in on a whim and ended up ordering a chicken dinner and fish dinner. We also had hush puppies and 3 pieces of cheesecake. The young man behind the counter was super helpful and patient with our questions. I wish I had asked his name! The front counter employees were also nice. Everything was delicious. Great overall experience. read more

This place is such a gem for the city of Akron and the Kenmore community sadly i never had a chance to try them when they were over on 16th street because they were a little bit out if my way but once they moved over to their new location at 2355 manchester road i have been able to have them now. I have never been disappointed with the food from showcase as usually from when i order from them i usually get a box of fried chicken and its so good and greasy but it is a tad bit salty if your not into that and what usually get is a 16 piece box of mixed chicken and jojos and in my opinion its priced very well also as it comes to 21.99 which is a deal i think compared to all the other places for that much chicken and it comes out nice hot and fresh. The other thing i like about showcase is how they have the deli part as well where you can get different meats and also things like coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni salad etc. The establishment is always nice and clean and well stocked as i like that the employees take pride in their jobs here and they are all so helpful and friendly as well. I will for sure be back! read more

Outstanding customer service. I misunderstood about the pre-ordering of the meat bundles and came a long ways. A very kind employee with a reddish beard as well as a nice woman with glasses and a great smile made my shopping experience there wonderful as they fill my order by hand. Great place,excellent employees . read more

I love their hot food and their meats are great quality. Mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese are my favorite.

Have not ordered there in a long time. Wish I hadn't. Ordered a 6 piece chicken dinner. It was awful! The pieces were so little and my little breast was like rubber. and 3 of the Jo Jo's looked like French fries. Also ordered hushpuppies that tasted stale and undercooked. Never again! read more

Fried Chicken is the bomb! Finger and thumb lickin good! Prices are responsible ! They have extra food goodies there too!

Ok well we waited for the Grand Opening and grand opening it was! Ordered the roasted garlic Parmesan chicken Philly. The is the best sub style sandwich I've had in a long long time! If you Lomé that type of sandwich get it. It tastes like a chicken pot pie. Fresh meats look great and the bakery has some tasty looking goodies. We had a peanut butter cookie, delicious! It's a bit of a madhouse right now but everyone from customers to the 12 people going mad behind the counter we're in a good mood and very helpful. Give um a go you won't be disappointed. read more

Best chicken in ohio!! Awesome the Jojo . Salads are enough for 3 and super good !! Way better than KFC read more

This is usually are goto for larger quantities for family gatherings. We Order chicken and jojos, hot rice and the party salad. However we ordered 30 chicken tenders and it says usually 2 per person...they were so tiny they weren't what I even call fingers. Tasted good, but I had an embarrassing lack of food for guests. Last time I ordered they were good size -like 3x4 This time not as big as my little finger....and they charged $1.25 each Definitely disappointing read more

Best chicken and jojos around! I sometimes drive 45 minutes just for some of their chicken. My kids are even obsessed. And I haven't met an unfriendly face behind the counter. read more

Some of the best fried chicken in the area and that's saying a lot! Always juicy, never dry, and they have a friendly staff.

Small mom and pop deli. Cooking made with love. You must try their fried Chicken and coleslaw! Better than KFC.

It's a very small place but overall it's okay the staff is nice the food was not bad but it wasn't good either it's like something Quick when you're hungry. The meat area, when I looked over there it was very high in price. It was well displayed just a bit overpriced but overall my visit was a 4 star I won't come back because it's just too far from home for me to drive but it's a good place read more

The day has finally arrived, you've spent all week hittin the weights and huffin on the treadmill striving to get that body even the Rock would envy BUT today is special. It's cheat day! Yes my friend today is the day you sink your teeth into a delicious piece of pizza, tasty fried chicken or anything else to save your sanity. Well I have just the place for you. Tucked deep inside a residential neighborhood in Kenmore lies a fantastic little market, and in said market is some of the best take out food around. Well what's the place man? Where is this oasis you speak of? Well folks I'm talking about Showcase Meats located at 1971 16 St SW just off of Kenmore Blvd in Akron. A family owned business that's been around for over 40 years, Showcase Meats was built on word of mouth so clearly they're doing something right. The market is small and there is zero seating (take out place remember) but that's ok. Once inside you're greeted by classic Americana eats such as pizza, fried chicken, jo jo's, wings, a bakery case full of fresh pastries and more. Showcase also offers specialty pizzas, hot sandwiches as well as hot and cold subs made fresh to order. There are a few salad choices on the menu but I have to be honest, I'm not here to eat salad (please don't judge). Today I opted for a meatball sub and it was on point! What makes Showcase a such a jewel is cost, you can easily walk out of Showcase with a crazy good lunch for under $10, not too shabby! To the rear of the market you'll see 2 show cases, one full of a nice variety of fresh tasty meats and another showcase packed with side salads such as ham salad, rigatoni salad, potato salad and much much more. Showcase also sells meat bundles for anyone looking to stock up the freezer. Like I've said this place is small but it's got all the bases covered. Showcase just keeps it simple and I like that. The market has great carry out food and a decent selection of eats to take home for a nice family dinner or cookout. Showcase also caters so next time you're having a get together give em a call! If there's one thing I'd change about this place it would be the parking, if they're busy it can be a challenge but a challenge I'm willing to accept to eat here. Cheers! read more

You like seriously good fried chicken? You don't mind grease? Get down here. It's fresh made and it's amazing. I can't say enough about this place. They have great prices on fresh butchered meat, and their meal specials are some of the best deals in the city. More people should know about this place. It's perfect. Don't go to some chain, go here and get helped by a staff that actually cares. read more

Hot, delicious and ready to eat! Would like the chicken little bit crisper I like the crunch, otherwise great.

Pizza is very good. Chicken as well but their wings were very undercooked last time I order them and also smothered on raw sauce. I had to re cook them at home. read more

We went after church two Sundays in a row. My daughter got the chicken and waffles both times; my wife got a 4 piece chicken dinner similar to her previous meal. I got spicy Italian sub first time and 6 piece chicken dinner the second. Pleased with EVERYTHING! Chicken is moist and NOT greasy. Good selection of desserts; we got a variety each time and loved them all. Cannot wait to try other items on the menu especially desserts. Service was quick but they were very patient while we made our choices; as well as being helpful with suggestions and recommendations. read more

Have been getting chicken, jojo's and various other items from Showcase for well over 30 years with my family. Never had a bad experience at original location and if we had an issue it was addressed and taken care of with no issues, and was few times had ever had an issue. The move to Manchester Rd is great for them and their customers for being able to facilitate better due to the amazing growth they have had. Well the reason only a 3 star is due to the manner that Assistant Manager Craig treated a family member over the phone due to us having an issue with our chicken, it was more in the manner as to which he spoke, not exactly friendly or seeming to believe the complaint. Hopefully this was just an off night and this won't be a continual thing. Not done with them by far 99% of the time the chicken is amazing!! read more

This one is tough, this place truly has the best Pizza in Akron. Just phenomenal stuff, great meats, and terrific chicken. But I have to knock it down due to the very strict rule in place dealing with when you can order. For a restaurant that closes at 7, not allowing orders to be taken past 6 seems very unreasonable in my opinion for a place to tell their customers that preparing their food for that entire last hour is impossible seems a little far-fetched to me. Again, I absolutely love the food here and will definitely order again, but tonight I called at 5:55 pm, knowing exactly what I wanted, and was turned down on my order. I guess if I want to eat pizza past 6 I have to go somewhere else. I don't expect them to change their policy because of me, and in the long run I'm sure this policy helps their staff during this tough time, but maybe if by chance they read this they'll be a little more understanding when someone like me calls in to order the best pizza in Akron at 5:55. read more

Treat yourself don't cheat yourself the best chicken and pizza joints in the city nuf respect do

This place the service is terrible. Me and my wife went in to order a couple of chicken dinners and the one girl asked if we were ready to order and we said no and she said take your time and let me know when you're ready. Meanwhile the other girl was trying to rush us to order something and then she said we do not take walk - ins today. You have a menu that is lit up and hanging from the ceiling. Is this just for looks? This place need to work on the staffs conflicting customer service and this place should not have a menu up for customers to order from if they are not going to take walk-ins or is it only certain days you take walk-ins? If so you should post the days you take walk-ins. This place is not very professional with customer service. read more

I ordered chicken and jojos for my mother's 80th birthday party and everyone really enjoyed the food. We had leftovers and everyone wanted to take a piece home for later to eat. I was glad I made the choice to purchase from Showcase. Will definitely be coming back for more. read more
