    Panko Crusted Chicken Sandwich
    Alan S.

    Stopped here recently and had the chicken sandwich which comes with fries. It came on toasted bread but could have used mayonnaise or another condiment to offset the dryness. Chicken and fries were good but will try something different next time. Service was good and ambiance fair.

    Cheddar apple and bacon grilled cheese

    Great spot in Akron. Very homey feeling with great classic but different grilled cheese choices. There was other stuff on the menu but I was only focused on the grilled cheeses. Tons of choices. Super good. Great service and Bob Ross on the tv ;). Can't be beat.

    I discovered the The Lockview when I asked ChatGPT to suggest a restaurant in Akron, Ohio that Anthony Bourdain would visit. It didn't miss a beat. their food portions are perfect, come hungry. The vibe felt at home. The staff is awesome and friendly. We got seated quick. I will definitely come back. also had the tater tots.

    Cozy a little hip artsy vibe. Waitresses were fast friendly and polite. Drinks were good food was tasty and great stop after the show. Would recommend if you are at the Akron civic center for anything or hanging in the area.

    Mac & Cheese Bites

    My family & I stopped here before going to a performance at EJ Thomas Hall...Large selection of beers...tasty sandwiches & salads...a wonderful night

    YUM! I was in town for the day and decided to try this place out! A great choice on my part because it was so good! When we first arrived, we got sat right away without a wait, which was awesome as it was fairly busy, but still quiet and welcoming! The Lockview offers MANY different grilled cheese sandwiches on their menu it was so hard to choose! To start we got the mac n cheese bites, which came out hot and ready for us to eat! It was the perfect app to munch on while we decided which sandwich to choose! We decided on the pesto one and the artichoke one to try (& split) and they were both filled with so much flavor! The bread was the perfect amount of crispy too! All sandwiches were served with goldfish crackers, or you could upgrade to fries, tater tots, etc! - I stuck with the goldfish because I also got a big bowl of tomato soup to dip my sandwiches in! (which of course was delicious) If i'm ever in town again I will be sure to come back and try more of those yummy sandwiches! I definitely recommend giving them a try!

    #2 with sweet potato fries
    Katie H.

    Perfect spot for a low key dinner! We went here before seeing a show at Akron Civic (it is literally right across the street) and were pleased with the experience. They have a variety of grilled cheeses (the main part of their menu) as well as some other sandwiches and appetizers. I got the #8 (goat cheese, roasted red pepper, and spinach on Tuscan herb bread) and my companion got the #2 (essentially a pepperoni pizza grilled cheese). We both upgraded from the goldfish crackers - hand cut fries for me and sweet potato fries for her - and had no regrets! Everything was tasty and very reasonably priced, and the service was good too. We will be back for sure. Thanks, Lockview!

    During a recent surgery my nurse told me about this place. Delicious mac n cheese combos. It's so cute to visit as well. Very hip and urban.

    Had a wonderful evening dining at the Diamond Grille!…read more The ambience was lively, and the service was exceptional. Started out at the bar and ordered a Manhattan. It was ice cold and perfectly crafted. We were then sat at a booth where we enjoyed our meal. Two people in the group ordered steaks that were prepared exactly as ordered. I had the salmon grilled, and it was delicious! We also had wines by the glass and another perfectly crafted cocktail (French 75).

    This place has been a staple in Akron for decades, so my husband and I dined there last night to…read morecelebrate our anniversary. We won't be going back. Don't get me wrong: the food is fine (in the most mediocre sense). Full disclosure: We don't eat red meat, so I can't comment on their steaks, which is what the place is known for. This is a classic case of tradition masquerading as fine dining. There's no subtly or nuance to the cuisine. The oysters Rockefeller was overly sauced, and the salad was overdressed. My salmon was a bit overcooked, but the baked potato was very good. The dessert, a brownie with ice cream, ate like a Little Debbie squirted with Hershey chocolate sauce. I will say that our server was wonderful and was working very hard. The ambiance, however, was sad. We were seated in the bar area on very uncomfortable wooden benches. Honestly, it felt like a Cracker Barrel. At the bar was an obnoxiously loud man dropping F-bombs and saying homophobic things. He pretty much ruined any enjoyment we had a hope of having. Finally, Diamond Grille doesn't accept credit cards, which we knew, but again, our enjoyment was dampened by having to keep track of how much everything cost so we didn't spend more than the cash we had gotten out of the ATM on our way. The hostess told us they were planting their feet and never taking cards, and I just don't understand why, in the 21st century, a business would alienate customers like this. All in all, this place is resting on its past reputation, and in my opinion, it's unearned.

Our service was amazing and the drinks and food came quickly - we didn't need anything ever (which is a remarkable feat for a table of that size!). Seriously kudos to the wait staff - best service I've had in years. Food is always great at Crave as well. We started with salads and the steak skewers which are jam packed with spice and flavor. My husband loved his smoked Gouda Mac and cheese with crispy chicken on top. He tried so hard to save some for leftovers but ended up not being able to. I had the salmon which was perfect medium and had a really good Asian sauce with it accompanied by rice and veggies which were also cooked to perfection. We were lucky to have a back room so we had a little more privacy which was nice but the restaurant was packed for a Saturday night so I'd recommend a reservation for sure. Another thing that was nice - $7 valet parking. Super convenient and cheap!

We went last night and it wasn't good at all. The drinks were terrible - not balanced at all. The are martini tasted of cheap vodka. However, the drinks here were never that good. My nephew's waffle (chicken & waffles) was burnt, my filet wasn't properly cooked, and the wrap my niece got looked dry and burnt as well. We ordered a side of fries that didn't arrive until we were done with our meal. Same with the drink my husband ordered. The server wasn't great. The food was dry and bland. We WILL NOT be back. Such a shame. This placed used to be packed Friday and Saturday nights. Now it's a ghost town, down to a 2 sided paper menu, with bad drinks & bland, expensive, improperly cooked food

I really enjoyed that my meal was delivered to my table at lightning speed. PARKING: Gravel lot parking I look forward to returning. Next time I'm thinking of enjoying brunch and a book. The views are gorgeous, be sure to visit!
