Just moved to The Valley and I got blessed with an awesome breakfast -lunch spot. They apparently must treat the staff well because there's a lot of them. I have been there twice in the few weeks I have lived here and both times I didn't leave disappointed. As a matter of fact I might have created more fans because I was not alone. Small place, but outdoor dining is available. They close at 3. It's a nice atmosphere. Very relaxing and a great menu. I plan on returning. There's a lot a tasty looking food I have yet to try. BTW- good coffee.

Made our first visit to this local breakfast and lunch spot this week. The inside was a pleasant surprise; it's so pretty and cozy and cheerful. There were a lot of outdoor tables too, and the whole place was busy on a Tuesday afternoon. I chose the French Toast with sausage and it was excellent. Service was diner-style - proficient and kind of minimal. The only real drawback was the temperature; the AC was cranking and I was cold even with a sweatshirt on. I'll look forward to visiting again in the fall.

*** This review was a drafted review that mistakenly got saved as a draft and not posted. Contains seasonal items that may not be currently available *** Atmosphere: this little cafe is just as inviting as its sister location in Wadsworth. What's great about this location is that they serve alcohol on Sundays as opposed to the Wadsworth location that doesn't because of city regulations. The people are very nice and it was very clean and well lit. Bustling with laughter from other families and everyone enjoying themselves. Food: I went with my friend and she got the eggs Benedict that she absolutely devoured. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the presentation was beautiful as well. She had a seasonal iced coffee and it tasted exactly like a birthday cake but not over sweet. I got what I always get. The crispy chicken sandwich and I always customize it to make it like a chicken club with lettuce, Swiss, bacon and Mayo. Literally the only place around that makes a chicken sandwich I can not get enough of. I had a couple different mimosas as well and they were both delicious. I truly can't think of a single complaint with the food or service. Everyone is so funny, nice and wonderful there. We return often!

Such a hidden gem in merriman valley. Warm dive vibe for sure. Huge menu with so many options for vegetarians to big meat eaters. Love all the boozy drink options and specialty coffee drinks. If you love spice the spicy biscuits and gravy was amazing. Outdoor seating available but come early fills up fast. Will be back for sure. My new favorite breakfast place of 2024!!!

Clean, friendly, quality breakfast. I had the sausage biscuit and gray bowl. It was served in a cast iron pan and was a good amount of food. My first bite was a cold piece of sausage. That must have eluded the heat because the rest of the dish was nice and hot. I'd com back. Gone are the days of a $10 breakfast with coffee. Breakfast was $14-15 and the coffee was $3.50. $24 with tip...it was good. I don't know if it was "that" good.

The food is delicious and service is great. It's a very friendly environment. One of my favorite breakfast spots in Akron.

This is our favorite breakfast place. Rachel pretty much always serves us and she is great. The best things on the menu are Dan's Barnyard, and THE GLAZED AMISH CINNAMON TOAST! It's truly to die for.

Eggs Benedict

Went for Dad's bday breakfast. It's a small place. Cozy is perfect word. We got their early enough that we did not have to wait for a table even for group of 6. Owner is super nice and personable. Everyone was pleased with their meal. Mom and I both had eggs Benedict. Dad went with new Amish cinnamon waffles and rest had basic two egg meals. Don't think we had much leftover despite the generous portions. In a past visit I had amazing shrimp n grits. So delish!

I'm so torn because the food was so good and the staff was super friendly however.... The interior…read moredoes need some help and a good deep clean. The interior is really my only complaint because aside from that, we had a great experience! Not pictured here but their stuffed pepper soup was delicious. Also loved the grilled cheese and chicken salad. Will definitely go back but hope they're able to clean the inside a bit soon! I really think that'd help bring in more customers.

Eddy's family restaurant is the epitome of a greasy spoon of yesteryear. My husband and I like to…read moretry small local restaurants instead of chains when we travel. Like other reviews, the interior needs help! Badly! But the amazing friendliness from the server and the manager, the great large portions and yummy foods can almost make you overlook it. They are very accommodating. I'm a type one diabetic and eat keto, and they gladly took the bread off of my corned beef sandwich and put it on a bed of lettuce instead. The corn beef can definitely give Cleveland Slymans a run for their money. My husband raved about their fries that were perfectly cooked, seasoned and crispy. For two people with tip it it was almost $60. But the portions were so huge. I've never had such a large serving of coleslaw. It was amazing because I love, Love,Love love, coleslaw, and up here in Cleveland we get tiny little 2 ounce plastic things that are just an embarrassment. Our meal was lunch and dinner rolled into one and we weren't even hungry later in the day at all!
