    Eggs and home fries.

    What a cute little restaurant. The location is great. The parking is ample and the restaurant is clean. I recently visited Akron and my sister turned me onto the boathouse. We enjoyed our meals enough to go back two times in one week. The food is delicious. Please see my pictures. Both times that we went to the boathouse our orders were not correct, I would suggest having your orders read back to you. This little restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

    The food I had was delicious & our server was a doll, super sweet! However don't appreciate the rushing us out the door vibe. Understand it was busy and it's a small place; but take care of your customers you have first so reviews like this don't happen.

    Fresh fruit was so yummy

    Decent food and cute little space. Good variety on menu. Server was nice. Host gave coffee cup with lipstick on it and dirty silverware...and took 30 min to get a water.

    What a delightful place. Service was outstanding (and quite friendly) and the food was terrific with large portions.

    Solid food, nice staff, and well done space overall. They have a decent selection of foods for all your breakfast/brunch or lunch cravings. My wife wanted waffles and that is why we came here, she wasn't disappointed. I had a grilled buffalo chicken wrap with their house made chips. I had plenty of chips leftover to take home but not because they weren't good. We enjoyed our lunch here and would come back again.

    We just made our first visit to The Boathouse and were quite surprised by how small the restaurant is. With it being a Sunday morning, our wait time was considerable. The hostess estimated 10-20 minutes, but it was closer an hour. We continued to wait after being seated for another 15-20 minutes before receiving our beverages. Later, we had to have another server get our server for refills of coffee. From start to finish, our experience was just shy of two hours. Not ideal, but we know to plan accordingly next time. The food, however was phenomenal. I got "The Overboard," which included two eggs, meat (I chose sausage), crispy hash browns & a fluffy pancake. We definitely received hearty portions of everything & it was all well made. Without a doubt, one of the better breakfast spots in the area. I can see why they draw such a crowd.

    The service was good, it a small establishment , it took a while for the waitress to come back to my table to check on us. I needed sugar-free syrup, took a while to get the waitress to return.The look of the restaurant was "boat themed ", which was nice. It was very clean, bathrooms too. The food was good my wife loved the crab cakes , she mentioned how " fresh tasting " they were. I had the blueberry pancakes w/eggs & bacon. The pancakes were nice and hot blueberries were cooked into the pancakes which I enjoyed. I would return back more often if it wasn't so far from where we live .

    Amazing food and good service. The crepes are to die for! The decor inside is very cute for breakfast or brunch!

    Turkey ranch wrap with homemade chips. Yum!

    On my home from Wing-foot Lake State Park I decided to stop at this little upscale breakfast/lunch dinner. Nice surprise to see all the delicious food being served up in an simple clean fresh looking restaraunt. My turkey wrap was yummy & the potato chips were homemade & delicious. I was there on Saturday on a magnificent Summer day for lunch. The restaraunt was buzzing with conversation of customers. I sat outside & the service was pleasantly attentive but the kitchen slow. On such a great day with good food & friendly pleasant service who could not like this place!

    Tried this place out for brunch on Sunday at around noon. We received a beeper and had to wait about 25 minutes for a table which was all good for a busy mealtime. Once we were seated, our server brought us waters and then proceeded to ignore us for the vast majority of the time we were there. We were seated in the corner and not asked if we wanted to sit outside and it seemed like most of the server attention was going to the tables outside. We were perfectly friendly but literally had to flag someone down to get a water refill and some coffee. We were told she would be right back with coffee and then didn't see anyone again for 20 minutes. I feel I am patient and understand things get missed sometimes but over two hours for two of us to get breakfast is a little ridiculous to me. They were not THAT busy and there appeared to be plenty of servers moving about. That said, no one was rude to us or anything - we were just forgotten. The food wasn't bad but it was nothing spectacular, especially with the lack of service. Maybe it was an off day but unfortunately this place just missed the mark for us.

    My brother and I went for brunch on a Sunday around 1130 and understandably there was a bit of a wait. It was a cute little mom and pop like diner vibe mixed with coastal decor. Once we were sat l, the server Sophia came over. I ordered a mimosa and she told me no alcohol sales on Sunday (I personally think this should be on the menu). She didn't offer any other options and seemed at after us that received food faster. My brother ordered the buffalo wrap with no onions and a side salad. As a prior server, I would have mentioned there are onions on the salad... but she didn't. Both the salad and the wrap came out loaded with red onions. I ordered the over board with bacon, hash browns, eggs over medium and a pancake (the menu also said bread I think). His food came out, mine was about 3 minutes behind.. other than the pancake and toast. She came back and said it should be out soon. We were never asked if we needed anything else when the food was delivered. When she came back to let me know it still wasn't ready I informed her of the onions in the wrap as, and she just said sorry and walked away. She delivered food to the table behind us (in a piecemeal fashion) and i got her attention and told her just to not worry about bringing the pancake since I was almost done. She asked if we wanted the wrap remade and I asked how long it would take.. she didn't have any ballpark guess so we said no. She brought the check and I asked for it to be updated to reflect the breakfast combo without the pancake since I didn't receive it.. she kept telling me "it wasn't extra". The price was a dollar difference. After the wrong items, no ketchup/hot sauce/etc, and missing items, I feel that was a reasonable request. We then saw her at the counter speaking to a woman in a black chef coat (assuming manager), this woman bussed the table next to us before the check was dropped off, and never came to speak to us. Sophia then came to ask if she could take our plates as my card was out and we had waited. Again, from being in the service industry for many years during college and frad school, cues should be taken to take the payment and then come back for plates. It was so disappointing that the service and customer service was so poor and the kitchen wasn't coordinated because the menu looked promising.

    Anybody that's rating this below 4 stars, hit the road. Here's my thought, it's a 4 star restaurant…read more(probably like a 4.3) when comparing it to every restaurant in the Stark County/Portage/Summit area. When you compare it to Springfield? It's a 6 star restaurant, if such a thing exists. They have the absolute best appetizer menu I've ever seen. There were 8 items on the appetizer menu and with just 3 of us, we obviously couldn't order all of them. We started with the Bavarian pretzels, mashed potato balls, calamari and sauerkraut balls. And that's also the order I would rank them. The pretzels were the best I've had, maybe ever. The mashed potato balls would have been at the top of any other restaurants list, but not here. The sauerkraut balls were good, but not great and the calamari was also good. For our entrees, we split a patty melt, which might as well be called a party in your mouth melt. To die for. We also split the ribeye, and here's my story about that: 12 years ago, my wife and I were at Hyde Park in Columbus and I had to this day, the greatest ribeye I've ever had in my life. The problem comes, that I'm always chasing that ribeye. Every time I go to a restaurant, I debate in my head between the filet and the ribeye. And 99 times out of 100 I go with the ribeye. And 99 times out of a hundred, I regret my decision... Until tonight, IG does what everybody needs to do but only a select few are able to do and that's what makes the ribeye fat the best part of the steak. Somehow this place in a strip mall in Sprngfield OH does what every steakhouse tries to do, nails the ribeye.

    The burger and fries was $18. Pretty pricey for a burger even with recent inflation. Wanted to try…read moreall of the best rated burgers around Akron and this was on the list. The burger was fine but at the end of the day tasted bland and worse than something I could've thrown on the burner in a few minutes. The fries were really good though. Our server was friendly and actually talked a bit to us about the "best burgers in Akron" tournament we'd seen. The restaurant looked nice and felt upscale. But at the end of the day the price for what we got did not feel very justified. Felt overpriced for a mid burger and good fries.
