    I've been driving by this place for a couple years. I had to do a double take the first time I saw it. I was like, "Is that a 50's style drive-in restaurant?" And then I was like, "Hell yeah, that's a 50's style drive-in restaurant!" I took the day off today to get some Christmas shopping done. Since it was 71 degrees and sunny instead of 31 degrees and raining, I decided to stop. After reviewing the menu and yelp, it became evident that I needed to order The '52 Combo, which includes a Sky-Hi burger, onion rings, and a milkshake. I asked the waiter which milkshake he recommended and he suggested the Rootbeer flavor. So that's what I went with. A few minutes later, my food was served piping hot. I let it cool off for a minute while I snapped some photos. I started with the milkshake, which was delicious. It was so smooth that the thin straw worked just fine. Then I went for a bite of the burger, which was unique and unlike any burger I've ever had, but in a great way. The pickles and sauce really made this burger delicious. The grilled bun was excellent. The onion rings were very hot and tasty. What an excellent lunch. This place can compete with Swenson's any day.

    Need a milkshake? You need to go here!!! Freshly made and tastes great! I had the peanut butter one and it's so good....better than any peanut butter milkshakes I've ever had. So creamy and I could taste both the peanut butter and vanilla ice cream. The person who came to the car was helpful and friendly. He was able to answer the questions I had as this was my first time there. The milkshakes were smooth, fresh and delicious! The prices are really good too!

    I have to say this is one of my favorite places to get fast food when I am in the area. I did make the mistake of ordering the Ultimate Burger this last trip. I say mistake, because it is freaking huge... I mean like 3/4 of a pound of meat alone. We are talking the entire days meal... well in my case it was my only meal of the day so I guess it works. The food is always good, the service is fast and very helpful. You pull up and someone will come out and take your order. If you are eating here they will bring a window tray. When you are ready to leave or if you need something else, just turn on your headlights and they will come running. I highly recommend this location and will come back every time I am in town.

    Love it. Waaaay better than that chain drive-in. Fresh, hot, flavorful. Crispy chicken sammy is so good. Their orange shake is perfect.

    Firehouse Tavern - Honest Review…read more We stopped in because one of the ladies in our group was craving sweet potato fries. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were told they're no longer on the menu--even though they still appear on the website. Our waitress explained there's a new manager and they currently don't have access to update the online menu. The atmosphere felt cold and very empty when we arrived, so we asked for something warm to drink. The only options were Coke products, so five of us settled for simply a cup of hot water. There were nine of us total, and the food came out sporadically. We tried to wait until everyone had their meal, but the timing made it a little awkward. On a positive note, I ordered the House on Fire Jalapeño Popper Burger. It came with crispy bacon, cream cheese, and jalapeños. The menu said the jalapeños were deep-fried, though I only received soft ones. However -- the burger was cooked perfectly. I asked for medium, and it came out pink inside, which told me the patties are made fresh. My side was the homemade potato chips, but they were just dry fried potatoes without much flavor or crisp. Once everyone finally had their food, the waitress disappeared. I ended up going to the bar myself to ask for water, and was handed a plastic cup with no ice. We didn't see the waitress again until she came around with the checks. The good news is: They do take credit cards The restaurant is wheelchair accessible -- but only if the correct parking spot is open. Once the lot fills (about 10 cars), the incline makes it nearly impossible for a handicap van to park safely. My burger, fries, and cup of water came to about $15. Overall, I'm not sure I'd return. My friends seemed to enjoy their meals, but between the missing menu items, slow service, and lack of warmth in the atmosphere, it just wasn't the experience we hoped for.

This place is an Akron institution, and everyone should check it out. Now, I was going to post an update to my review due to a recent visit when I discovered I had never reviewed it, so I'll just tell you about that experience. I stopped in with my six year old after going to the zoo recently. It's perfect for a zoo trip, I think it's less than a five minute drive. It was a bit of an odd time, and we ended up having the restaurant to ourselves. We sat at the bar, and my son ordered a root beer (Bob's own label), a hot dog and fries. I ordered a Bob's Double Cheeseburger with everything, and a side of onion rings. It had been a while since I had been there, and I honestly don't think I've taken my son before. When we pulled in he said it doesn't look special. I told him it's iconic and a throw back, which I don't think he understood. So we are seated at the bar, and I'll say he thought it was pretty cool that he could watch our food being cooked like 4 feet away. He LOVED the hot dog, it's big, I think a quarter pound. He's usually pretty picky on fries, but he ate quite a bit of them, then wanted to take them home, lol. Now on to my food. If you've never had a Bob's Burger before, you are missing out. They are smashed and griddled and just delicious! An Everything is Onion, Pickle, Lettuce, Bob's Sauce, which is like this tomatoey, relishy thin sauce with a bit of tang to it, and Stray Dog mustard. Boy, the combination of the sauce and mustard, with the crunch of the veg and the gooey cheese and smashed, well seasoned patties is just about perfect in my opinion. Certainly a great burger, one of the best in the area imo. And the onion rings are just amazing! Hand battered per order, fried and crunchy, the onion is soft. Without a doubt my favorite in the area! I would be remiss too to not mention the staff. Our waitress was amazing, talking to my kid, asking him questions, just being so nice to him. There were several other people that worked there that came out and talked to him too. It was great! And when we left, my son couldn't quit talking about how special that place was after all!

In the past several years, ownership has changed hands 3-4 times and they've gotten further from what made them so good each time. I visited today and it will be my last attempt. There are several things you can do to ruin a great burger and they seem intent on checking all of the boxes. Weird, grainy and overly sweet "house made" ketchup: Check Oversized bun that is dense and almost stale? Check Horrible locally made pickles? Check Hopping on board with the weird trend of putting some of the condiments on the top bun and some on the bottom bun? Check I could go on, but nothing about the food at this place resembles anything they served during the glory days that allowed them to stay in business for multiple decades. Some people don't understand the concept of "If it ain't broke..". Too many Food Network style ideas with very poor execution. As soon as I saw the word "confit" in the description of today's special burger, I should have turned around and left.
