    Only thought halfway through of taking pics

    My boyfriend literally just picked up take out. We have been by this place so many times and are FINALLY trying it. It's so good, y'all. Mac and cheese, greens, catfish, shrimp, rice, candied yams and cornbread all are insanely flavorful and delicious. If you're local and haven't tried this place yet- DO IT!

    First let me start by saying I'm from New York & just moved to Ohio in April I haven't found any restaurant's to make me feel at home until I came here to eat , customer service is great. Food is great THE JERK CHICKEN & CABBAGE IS THE BEST I'll recommend this place to anybody especially if they want that Caribbean taste this is the place !!! I'll be back for more jerk chicken

    This small place was a delight to find after one of our fall hiking spree hikes in Summit County. We decided to be adventurous & give it a go, & we were glad we did! John's Philly Steak was tender & tasty with red peppers & onions. He said it was the best he ever had! He was kind enough to let me have a taste & I have to agree with him, "best ever." I enjoyed some extra crispy lemon pepper wings & seasoned fries. Just yummy. They cooked the wings extra crispy for me without charring them. The peach cobbler was great! Down side to this little gem is that it is so little, only 3 tables. You had to wait for your food & that was A OK because that way you are assured its fresh!

    This Jamaican/Soul food joint was a friendly surprise. There isn't much room to sit down and eat but they do have 2-3 small tables. I had jerk chicken with greens and macaroni and cheese. The chicken was delicious, flavorful and had a nice spicy kick but not too spicy. The Mac and cheese was some of the best I've ever had. Forget fake cheese sauce this stuff is the REAL deal. Delicious. The greens were delicious also. The reason for one star short of five is because the restaurant could use a little bit of cleaning. It wasn't quite up to my standards as far as cleanliness, nothing out of line gross, but could definitely use some elbow grease. I would go back but wouldn't go out of my way.

    This place is amazing and definitely a little hidden gem. I had the jerk chicken and my husband had the wings - we both loved it! Husband said they were the best wings he has had in Akron. Food is flavorful and made with love. Came within an hour through UBER eats and the food was warm and fresh. We will definitely be back!

    Fish dinner! I had to stop eating and share the joy!

    Great home cooked food! The Mac'n-cheese is soooo good! This competes with family reunion type eating! lol I'm going back!

    Very flavorful jerk portobellos over rice. #PlantbasedLife

    Had the pleasure of dining here last night and it was delicious. Although there is not much listed one the menu for a plantbased diet, I was pleased to know the owner was developing one and he personally made me some jerk portobello over rice to order that was dynamite. I will definitely be back.

    This place is AMAZING!!! We got takeout here tonight and it did not disappoint! Do you like jerk chicken?!?! I do and this was the best I have ever had!!! The wings were meaty, full of flavor and cooked to perfection! My husband got the chicken philly and after the first bite said he was in love! For sides we got Mac n cheese, candied yams and peach cobbler!!! The Mac n cheese was so good and light! The yams reminded me of my grandmas cooking.....YUM! The peach cobbler was divine and tasted like it was fresh out the oven!! All the food here is cooked to order so we waited about 15 minutes but it was well worth the wait! It's a little spot mainly meant for takeout, with 2 tables available to sit at. I noticed they deliver via Grub Hub which is awesome and I will definitely try that in the future! If you're looking for down home soul food cooking in Akron then this is the place!!! It may not look like much, but the food packs a punch!!!!!

    Overpriced. Not a lot of food at all. Not worth the money. Would never go here again.

    Food was great! Out here in Ohio on business, the name of the restaurant caught my eye. I gave it a try and I was not disappointed.

    Russo's is the go-to place to celebrate my birthday. The food is amazing, the chef's table is fun,…read moreand the patio, though not elaborate, is comfortable and has cover from sun and rain and big round tables. Sixteen people joined us on the patio last evening. It took forever to get a first and only rounds of drink arrived in about 40 minutes. The food came out at about an hour and a half. We were missing salads and side dishes and the usually amazing fried chicken was overcooked. One of my friends called there at 5:30 to have a bottle of wine delivered to my table. He tipped the hostess $10 for the service. As we were leaving at 7:30, our waiter brought the bottle over. The wine went home with me. Fortunately, the patio was a great meeting spot for my family. Everyone had fun despite the problems in the kitchen. I hope that things get better at Russo's. My friends and I were planning to go there on Thursday, too. Not going to risk it again.

Fettuccine was light , but a tad too much garlic - my husband had the filet with mashed potatoes and broccolini- the steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Mashed potatoes were creamy and broccolini tender with still a little crunch . We also ordered glasses of white wine which unfortunately weren't very cold . Food was so good though we will definitely return

    This is not the first time I have been there, but the last time was pre-Covid…read more The menu is mouth watering, but nothing quite lives up to it's description. The service was nothing short of horrendous, and to top it off, we had to spend another 10 miserable minutes in the way too warm restaurant, trying to get charges removed for things we never had or ordered. Never again.

    I have to be quite honest when I say that this restaurant really confuses me. It is part of Russo's…read morebut is the lounge part of the restaurant. Bacchus sits in the very back of Russo's and has it's own menu but the two places are attached. I am very confused on why they have two separate names. After all my fuss and confusion I have to say I really like the menu and food here. They do have happy hour (not listed on their website) that has a few food and beer/cocktail offerings. We started with the Red Bean Nachos, which were to die for! 3 of us scraped that plate completely clean! For dinner I ordered the Spicy Brasato Sandwich which was absolute perfection! The braised beef on this sandwich is incredibly delicious. The flavors were so good that I didn't want to stop eating, although I did, so I could have the sandwich again the next day! Even the desserts were on point! This place is definitely worth checking out for a casual meal packed with amazing flavors!
