Daring place with really nice people who work there. Cocktails were good. Food was very good. Wine list was marginal. Paid $95 for a bottle of warm red wine that was served in $3 glasses. Need a little TLC. Might want to consider upgrading the wine glasses and allow customers to pay a corkage fee to bring their own wine. read more

Double date night. Started in the bar for some creative and classic favorite drinks. Really enjoyed the service and the friendly bar crowd Moved to our table for dinner and shared the pretzel and calamari. This calamari is thick lightly breaded pieces. Amazing. Can't await to have it again Also had the duck, venison, chicken and pork. All well prepared and flavorful. Really liked the wild mushroom risotto creamy and perfect Finished with a Pavs gelato affogato. Yum We will make this a regular stop! read more

My food was pretty good. Other people at the party had the Lobster Cake Benedict, the pistachio French croast, and the tallow patty hash. They said the Lobster Cake Benedict was good, the Croast was rich and sweet, I wouldn't have been able to eat the whole thing but a few bites were very good. The tallow patty hash was a little bland compared to everyone else's food. I had the Spicy Chicken Caesar. I wouldn't call it spicy at all, but the flavor was good so I wasnt disappointed. The interior looked interesting, but we ate outside on the porch. The waitress was friendly even though they were very busy. The menu has a little information about how the building was moved a few years ago. I thought it was a joke when it was first mentioned. Everything was good, but not all that unique. Not sure I'll be back but it wasn't a bad experience read more

The interior of the restaurant is very cool. A modern aesthetic with exposed brick and interesting design. (Some of that design makes for less comfortable seating as the chairs are cute but awkward to sit in and the tables were small and crowded when plates were delivered.) Food was alright! Nothing was bad, but it was all slightly disappointing. The spicy chicken caesar was not spicy. The crispy oni was a step beyond crispy and more like well done. My friend had asked to leave off a salad topping but it came out with it on it. Like I said, not bad, just... underwhelming. Service was fine. Our server was not overly attentive but also not avoidant. They didn't catch the salad mistake (which I feel like a good server should).. I feel like I might be generously rounding up from 3.5-because despite me giving it this rating, I wouldn't go back and I would probably tell friends to go elsewhere. read more

This is a newer restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. The interior design - very industrial, retro, yet warm and welcoming. Staff is super friendly and very attentive. The menu isn't huge, but it seems to have something for everyone. The lobster gnocchi was delicious! My boyfriend gave big thumbs up to the chicken sandwich, and the French dip sandwich was also very well received. The iced tea was brewed, which is a big positive, came with a large wedge of lemon, which was a very big positive, but the glasses weren't very large. So you know automatically you'll be getting multiple refills, but since the staff was so attentive, this wasn't a problem. Would highly recommend! read more

First time here as we are visiting family in Akron. This place was a breath of fresh air after our other encounters with mainland people at the airport, taxis, hotel, etc. First thing we noticed was how nice the restaurant looked outside. The brick building is impressive and very unique for a restaurant. As we entered, we noticed the tall ceiling and ambiance was warm and welcoming. Our waitress, Kellye, was genuinely very friendly. She was courteous and gave us a little background on the history of the place. She answered questions we had about the menu. I ordered the burger because I wanted comfort food after the last 2 days of airport food. He ordered the venison because that's not something common you find in Hawaii. I loved their Industry light lager beer. The burger itself tasted great, definitely from a nice cut of beef and not just ground beef that comes on styrofoam. I like the type of bun it came on, however, I think mine was toasted perhaps too long as it was a bit hard. The fingerling potatoes it came with were cooked perfectly - I enjoyed the crunchy bits from the skins too. His venison he ordered was cooked medium rare just as he requested. The pineapple risotto was really good, cooked well and the sauce was nice and creamy. He did not like the pineapple in it tho - didn't quite pair well with the pasta. He picked out the pineapple and finished the rest. We also shared the lobster bisque. OMG this was a total win. It had a generous amount of buttery lobster on top that melted in your mouth. The soup was amazing as well. We had no room for dessert and I actually had leftovers to take home. I couldn't eat it all. We are definitely going to come back at least one more time before our travels back home. Quite honestly, we had major difficulty choosing what plate we wanted because everything sounded delicious. I also wanted to try the beef sandwich, mushroom risotto, gnocchi and a few more plates. Thank you Kellye for the warm welcome, you made our dinner a delightful treat. read more

The restaurant is housed in a brick historic building and while it was very done up and modernly decorated inside, the same inside was very small and they have very limited seating. Came here for a late brunch on Sunday and we had to sit at the bar at first. Many tables became empty at 2pm but none of the servers asked whether we wanted to be seated. We had been waiting for about 20min after putting in our food orders but since our food hadn't arrived, I would've expected an offer to sit at a real table. Anyways, I asked for us to be seated and was able to enjoy our meal in a more comfortable setting. The decor was really polished, high end looking with metallic accents. The bar was beautiful and the bathrooms were fancy! Love the wallpaper! Servers were friendly, fine but service time took way too long. I suppose due to limited seating, the place was already packed and due to the space constriction, their walk in deep freezer and pantry is located outside! So I can see why all that would add to the service time. The food was excellent. BF ordered this pork belly eggs benedict with sweet potato hash and I got the French Crost (croissant toast!) with pistachio and condensed milk. Wow. Presentation was very appetizing and taste was great. Wish the eggs benedict dish came with more than 1 egg tiny poached egg though. Prices were actually reasonable compared to Blue Door and portions were appropriate; we finished every morsel but left full. This visit left me curious about the rest of their brunch menu items and regular dinner menu! read more

Drinks: Espresso Martini- good but not craft. The atmosphere: noisy- not a good place for a business dinner, or quiet evening out- music choice is progressive noise that you cant make out. Dress light- it is Hot- air conditioner does not work- avoid hot days- or sit outside. Ice in h2o melted straight away. Timing: come early if you want a special or decent options. Calamari and duck we wanted to order was sold out at 7pm on a weekday. Food: lobster rolls were good Salmon +100 cesar- skin still on (and burnt) and a half a pinch of Parmigiano cheese. Waitress was nice- apologized a few times and was personable. I really wanted to like this place- but I wont be back. Disapointing. read more

We had dinner reservations for 7pm for a Friday and we were really excited to finally try this hyped restaurant and what they had done inside since the last time i seen it inside. We probably didnt need to have reservations and we kinda figured out why. This place gives you the vibe of being a really clean and nice restaurant reading about it and driving by. Spiders and spiderwebs and dust in our corner table. Joe was an excellent waiter and we got some deviled eggs and the lobster rolls to start. Deviled eggs were different. Nothing amazing. The warm lobster roll is way better than the lobster salad roll. Went with the salmon special. Thank goodness for the risotto below the over cooked dry salmon. Skin wasnt even crispy. The ravioli dish was way better than the special. read more

First time visiting and I'll just lead off to say we will be back! If you're into bourbon this is the place for you! One of the best selections I've seen in NEO, including some really premium stuff, from various bottles of Pappy to the $10k per bottle Wellers Millenium, which sits in a place of honor high above the bar... Beautiful space in a converted I'm guessing early 20th c schoolhouse, our cocktails were genuine craft quality and our sandwiches were delicious. I had the French dip, and the steak was pieces of cut ribeye, really nice with both jus and creamy horseradish sauce. Service was super friendly and attentive - both the lounge area and the dining room are pleasant. Lounge has banquettes and tables and the dining room leather backed booths. First of many visits I am sure... read more

Amazing food! We felt a little rushed by service, but the menu is fantastic offering dishes for various price points. My salmon was cooked to perfection as was my husband's duck, all Seasoned well. Wine selection was pretty decent too. Neat venue...old building with exposed brick and high ceilings. The outdoor seating looked fun too...tho it was winter when we visited. I'd like to go back and try various menu options. read more

I was glad we took a chance with The Industry in Akron for Valentine's Day. First of all what impeccable service, just a felt like a one-to-one ratio, but I know that our server was spread thin. We went for a late lunch just because they were booked for dinner and we tried the lobster rolls two ways which worked out because my wife likes the buttered lobster and I like the lobster salad version and we also tried Au Jus steak sandwich, and some wonderful wonderful deviled eggs with pork belly on them. Just start to finish. It was a great meal. I can't give anything but two thumbs up. read more

Came on a Saturday during the lunch menu offerings. Really nice space. Ski lodge vibes sort of? The bowls all sounded amazing. I was ton but went with a salmon with lemon dill risotto, fried capers, arugula, pickled onion, tomato salad, and beurre blanc. Fantastic on all fronts. Risotto was cooked to perfection and the dill really popped. Salmon cooked perfectly. Can't wait to go back for the chicken balsamic offering! read more

Really cute vibes. Exposed bricks, good color scheme cozy environment. Indoor or outdoor seating. We sat inside with view for the exposed brick really pretty. They legit have a little library, take a book share a book nice little detail. Food and service were good. Had the calamari app it was good some of the rings a little tough. Has a lemon tint to it which was good but could use a sauce. My s/o had the Pork with Brussel sprouts and Purple mash was sweet and tasty the addition of a horse radish would be a nice little sweet and spicy. I had the mushroom ravioli and blackened chicken which was good. Drinks were good. The cucumber cocktail and light logger. Would come back. read more

Well, this is a restaurant experience I'll never forget - not because of the restaurant, per se, but because of a major car accident I found myself in soon after I left... but I digress! I tried The Industry out for a work celebratory dinner a couple months ago, and it was packed on a rainy Thursday night! For only being in business for a few months, that's great news! It did mean that it took a long time for us to get our drinks and food. I think we were there for nearly 3 hours! The bathroom was nicely decorated but the floors were a bit dirty. The classy interior was chic and modern and the building itself, is historic and well-maintained. As with most new restaurants, some fine-tuning is needed on service both with speed of service and memory of the menu itself. I'm sure this will get worked on in no time. Now the menu is small and well-curated. My colleagues and I tried a few cocktails, two appetizers to share, and had our own main dish. My mojito was average and I regret ordering the duck cubano. It didn't have any other meat on it other than duck and had no mustard! I think my djion mayo was forgotten and honestly, it should just be regular dijon on it anyway. And it should have been panini-pressed. My coworkers meals all looked great though, especially the Nashville hot chicken sandwiches! The Bavarian pretzel app was also pretty dynamite. I could chug gallons of that melted guyere cheese for sure. While my memory of my night at The Industry is tarnished by my car accident (I know it's not their fault- but it's all I associate it with now!), the food is a 4/5, service a 3/5, and vibes a 5/5. I could come back... if someone else drove! Haha! Jkjk but I would come back later to see how it has improved. read more

Checked out The Industry last night for a date night. It did not fail to amaze us. The staff is super nice, very attentive, and had a great sense of humor that played along with our style. They were able to anticipate our needs before we needed the "thing" and it created for such a more relaxing experience. We started with a few appetizers. The Bread and Spread was a standout, especially the Garlic spread with its smooth, buttery finish. The Deviled Eggs were elegantly presented and had a nice texture. However, the Lobster Poutine was a bit disappointing, with more potato than meat and subtle flavors that didn't quite stand out. I had the Steak with Wild Mushroom Risotto and it was fantastic. The steak was cooked as I liked it, the Risotto had a smooth and buttery finish. The Vegetable was a little on the crunchy side, but I prefer it like this. Needless to say, I didn't share much and would easily order this again. I would absolute be back to The Industry. It is great to see such a nice restaurant coming to the area! read more

Very cool, unique place, there is nothing else like it in this area in my opinion, it's an old 1900s school house turned into a gastropub/speakeasy type feel. We sat in the lounge which next time I would sit on the other side; the lounge was noisy and close together, you are right on top of other people so it's hard to hear over everyone else's conversations but definitely would be better if your meeting someone for just drinks! The food was good, and I thought priced fair for what this place is, you definitely don't see a lot of this stuff on other menus. We will return, right now it's reservation only so make sure to check their socials to see if they have walk in availability! read more

First of all, I'll say the lobstah rolls were ON POINT. They were like seriously so good. I am always hesitant to get a lobstah rolls in Ohio (or anywhere that's not New England really.) Sometimes even the ones in any state south of Connecticut suck, and that includes places like Florida that are surrounded by water. Anyhow, I digress. They did a GREAT job with these. Clarified butter, lemon, generous meat portions, the right kind of bun. They even give you one Maine style and one Connecticut style. They used the right kind of roll. I am a BIG fan of the person who did some research to get this right. Second, the ambiance was just gorgeous. The venue is a good mix of historic and modern. Nice, clean, and chic decor. It was raining outside, but the outdoor space looked really cool too. The service was honestly the only part I struggled with. If the food weren't so good, I could not rate this place so high. Service was aloof, at best. Rude, at worst. Even if the place looks like it belongs in NYC, the attitude doesn't need to match......I ordered my food to go, which went fine, although it seemed to catch them off guard. They must not have many to go orders. So the bar was about 85% full and I snagged a seat at the end, thinking I'd order an Old Fashioned while I waited. They looked so good! Well the lady next to me snapped "someone is sitting there!" So I jumped up. "Sorry", I shrugged. Sheepishly I kind of hovered there at the end of the bar. I think she was embarrassed, because she said "oh, you can sit here til he arrives". I didn't do so. My food shouldn't be long (which it wasn't). So I made eye contact with the bar tender and smiled, as I held the cocktail menu in my hand. Said tender of bar wiped down the surfaces of the bar, straightened the bottles, and did everything but approach me for my order. Meanwhile, enter the guy whose seat was being held. He kind of pushed me out of the way to get into his chair and sat down. The bartender immediately came over and took his order, still ignoring me. {Sigh}. I think if I were that late arriving guy, I might have said "hey, she was first- go ahead and get her order". Nope. He was rude too. I never did get to try that amazing looking Old Fashioned. Left the bar area with my tail between my legs. But not for nothing, my food arrived a few minutes later and I got out of there and enjoyed my luscious lobster rolls. So for that they get four stars. That's just how good the food was. read more

A Must-Try Gastropub with Incredible Eats & Drinks If you're looking for a new go-to spot in Green, that perfectly balances a laid-back vibe with seriously impressive food and drinks, this new gastropub-style restaurant and bar is a must-visit. Let's start with the food--because wow. The deviled eggs are next-level, topped with crispy pork belly and a touch of brown sugar that adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the savory bite. The mushroom risotto is rich, creamy, and perfectly cooked, hitting that comfort-food sweet spot. The 'East Liberty' burger is juicy and packed with flavor, and if you're a sandwich lover, the flank steak sandwich 'The Dip' with au jus dip is a total game-changer--tender, flavorful, and perfect for dipping. Of course, no great meal is complete without the right drinks. Stella on draft is always a win, but the real highlight here is the cocktail menu, we tried 'The Industy Olf Fashioned' and 'Island Smash'--creative, well-crafted, and full of flavors that complement the food beautifully. Whether you're into classics or adventurous new mixes, there's something for everyone. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd want from a gastropub: welcoming, stylish but unpretentious, and a place you'll want to come back to again and again. Whether you're stopping in for drinks or settling in for a full meal, this spot delivers. Would suggest a reservation (we grabbed an empty seat at the bar), which we lived, Megan & Nick were fantastic, Highly recommend! read more

I want to preface this by nothing was wrong, it was fine. We sat at the bar because we were told for two of us it would be a 45 min wait on a Thursday, at six pm. We sat at the bar. Intricate detail in every inch of this place. This place rocks if you're solely seeking aesthetic. The women's room was gorgeous. and there's a door handle plate on the entry way door that is ornate and these details are so flattering! Bartenders were polite and nice. Overall I found the food expensive and to not be big enough portions. I felt hungry after and I had got a full salad with halibut and the truffle stones aka fingerling potatoes. The halibut was good, my bf said it smelled and tasted too fishy for him. I wanted the halibut to be a "Cajun seasoned" or "sesame crusted" any flavoring that may elevate the option. I got the "elote Caesar" which offered the vegetables of lettuce and corn....this place seems popular for women so such a limited arrangement of vegetables in the salad felt unfinished. I got a $15 cocktail, cucumber cooler; it had some fresh elements but overall felt generic and I wish I would've done something more reliable. Again this all was fine, it was mismatched value and I did not feel the portions were big enough for the price. read more

The Industry is in a former brick school building. The owners have put a lot of time and expense into creating a beautiful custom interior. Lots of reclaimed wood and custom built shelves. If you are into architecture and creative decor you will enjoy this place. The staff is very pleasant and accommodating. Lots of hand clearing, checking on you. Food is exceptional, creative and well what you want from a restaurant. No Sysco truck here. I had the halibut with the wild mushroom risotto. Loved it. Fish had a good sear and was done perfectly. My two complaints. I got a very small portion of risotto, see the picture. As a guy I could have used a bigger meal. We also had an appetizer which help but even then I ate most of my wife's potatoes. The second is the Blanton is $24 a glass. Way too over priced. Stick with the craft cocktails- they are good and priced reasonably. read more

Pretty excited to have a new, more upscale/unique place to eat in the area. VERY hard to get good reservations since they're new. We got one for the "lounge" which are small cocktail tables by the bar. Served the purpose for getting to try it out. The bar is small so while you may be tempted to try that as a way to get in, it seems usually always busy. The ambiance is rustic upscale which I love. Food was yummy! I loved the bread with dips appetizer. I didn't think the risotto goat cheese balls had much of any flavor so I'd probably sit those out next time. Currently pregnant, I very much appreciate that they had a mocktail menu! We tried the duck and halibut entrees, both pretty good. There's still so much I'd love to try so we'll be back again! read more

Since I heard this was opening, I have been looking forward to eating here. It's a neat building inside and outside. It's not overly large inside and it is loud in here. Parking was ample but not overly spacious. I would recommend reservations or you might not get seated right now without a long wait. Like most places such as this, the prices are basically $15 and up for the food. Tonight they were out of multiple items across the menu and they actually came back and told my wife she had to pick something else out. The pork belly deviled eggs were delicious, but $13 for four of them would cause me to skip it next time. I had a duck Cubano, two of us had burgers, and one of us had the PBLT. All the food was good and the service was too. I look forward to seeing how they evolve over time. I would eat here again. read more

My wife and I ate here for the first time and I would highly recommend it. We had the pretzel board and while it was good it was just average. Nothing fancy. The cheese dip is amazing We each had the 100 Caesar salad which had plenty of dressing and was fresh. For dinner my wife got the dip, which comes with the paver potatoes. She enjoyed it, but wished the meat was a little thinner. I had the flank steak which was cooked perfectly and it had great seasoning. We also ordered the gnocchi Mac which was good but needed a bit more sauce. We also ordered the truffle potatoes which were an excellent choice! For dessert we had the pistachio terimasu and the espresso gelato. We were not disappointed. Our drinks were awesome I had the fireside espresso martini and bubble martini. My wife had the pear spritz and burnt lemon martini. Their drinks are to die for. Our server Jon was incredible. He was polite helpful and guided us on a nicely timed dinner. My only complaints were the lights kept flickering and we sat at a table by the bar which was close to a door. They kept going in and out and of course it was cold so I kept getting chilled.
