My dad went here. He complained of many things but the main issue was being charged $1 for tap water. It was not disclosed prior to ordering. It was found as a charge on the bill. After writing the business, my dad was told there is no such thing as a free lunch. I felt compelled to write a quick blurb on their Facebook page and this was what I was met with. Even the waitress told my dad and his friends that she stays up some nights worrying about the fights she will get into about the charges.

Traditional cup & char 'roni :-)

Solid pizza, & reasonably good wings. Cool interior atmosphere as well, located in former 'Akron House' building.

8 slices. 3 pepperonis per slice.

I was really hopeful here. Looked at the pics and read the reviews and thought it would be worth the drive over. Picked the pizza, didn't look until I got home so that was probably good. Fried mushrooms were good and came with their yogi sauce. The sauce was too spicy and overpowered the mushrooms. The sauce itself was very good for something like fried pickles that have some tang, but not mushrooms. The meatball parm sub was ok. Nothing special, the meatballs had good texture and enough sauce. Small cheese pizza. I guess I expect a brick oven pizza to have a little char with great color on the cheese. I opened the box and was a little disappointed. It looked like the photo on a Red Baron frozen pizza. The crust was reasonable and cooked, but really didn't have that brick Oven pizza taste. On to the large pepperoni. Again the same thing, it didn't have that delicious brick oven look and times must be tough as that pepperoni had 4 pieces of pepperoni per slice. 8 slices of disappointment. The wings were reasonable, tasty and crispy but not enough sauce. Was supposed to be a 20 piece but again times must be tough as there were only 19. Leaving one wing short and losing another star from the two star rating I was going to give it.

Great fun place...live music! It was Halloween and the staff was having a blast, all dressed up. The food was yummy and the beer choices were great!

Plain Chicken Fingers, but should of made them all Garlic Parm~ we asked for extra blue cheese~

After our teenage son going on about how good Yogis food is and how they use a brick oven to bake pizzas, we decided to give it a try! You see our small village of Akron has several pizza spots/restaurants and they're all different! We ordered a "Double Special" which includes, large pizza with one topping, and 10 chicken fingers (we recommend garlic parm) and a large box of French fries. It's definitely enough food for a family of 4! The girl who answered the phone at yogis wasn't sure if the fries came with chicken fingers, so she put me on a brief hold to find out! I appreciated her not guessing as she was so friendly and professional! We would recommend trying take out. Haven't eaten in their dining room or bar area! If you try to find their menu online, it will show a football picture that says website under construction or something, just click on tiny word "menu" under that! I do wish they were more active on Instagram with food, specials, new offerings and/or dining area pictures, special events they host or even outside of restaurant pictures/updates in area. Be sure to look up Yogis brick oven bistro if your in town or looking for a hometown, small village feel! I've noticed pictures of their building from years ago on a YELP review, they've moved into a larger space, between library and fire hall in Akron's village!

Floury crust
Bethany F.

Saw good reviews for this place and decided to try it, unfortunately I was underwhelmed by the pizza the dough was extremely floury on the bottom and it didn't cook evenly in the oven as one section was very dark and the rest of my toppings (I ordered Hawaiian) seemed to be not browned/cooked at all. Overall, a good price for a large pizza but I don't think I'll be ordering from here again

My pound of cheese taco

Placed and order over the phone, the girl seemed agitated to take the order. Wait time was 30 minutes which was fine, got the food home all of the meat was cold. Mushrooms were the only thing warm, besides the missing sauce. The taco weighed about 5 pounds only to open it and find a pound of cheese on it, for a baby. The pecan salad was very tasty, besides the chicken being cold. The Pittsburg salad had very soggy French fries, yum. So either the meat was never heated up, or the 30 minute wait time for pickup, with one customer in the restaurant was exaggerated.

If this place were called BooBoo's, kids would fall over coming through the door and constantly be getting minor cuts and scrapes. Hence it's called Yogi's. I can't bear to make any further jokes at this point, I'm jealous of those guys that can afford Rosetta Stone, in fact I'm coming up with a new term for it: Jellystone. What to get: Slices, Personal Cheese & Pep Pizza. Akron, NY, the centre of the food universe, especially when it comes to legendary brick oven pizza, which this town invented. OK - I can't back that up. Anyway. Freshie's is actually no longer called Freshie's, it is now called Yogi's. It is one of the hidden gems of Western NY, on a little back street in a town with two other more popular pizza places, it quietly assumes that you don't know how good it is... until you give it a try one day and realize that in a city where real Brick Oven-tasting Pizza is rare, this place makes it and makes it really well! Their slices are huge and delicious, and their personal size pizzas are incredibly cheap and straight out of heaven. I recently tried their wings and they were EXCELLENT, I think their pizza is even better but yes, very delicious wings, so everything so far is 5/5. The wings are more typical quintessential Buffalo. If you are having 5 kids at once, then you need to shop for some essentials. Quintessentials. I hope this place survives because not a lot of people know about it, and last time I checked, it didn't have any online presence at all. Then again there is a place in North Carolina called "Cook Out", who have no online presence, and have still completely taken over the Carolinian fast food scene, to their credit. Yay Freshie's! What is it with Pizza in Buffalo? It is simply the best I've ever tasted and there are probably 200 good options. I recommend my personal faves, Imperial (South Buffalo), Zip's (North Buffalo), Francos (Eggert location in Amherst), and Yogi's (Akron). The last one is more Brick-Oven style than typical Buffalo style. All 4 slices are pure heaven and must not be missed under any circumstances. I can't say it enough - if you're just trying a slice, make sure the Pizza is either straight out of the oven piping hot, or reheated in the oven. Chicago Pizza is amazing, and NYC Pizza is special, but Buffalo, for me, beats them both. Please don't talk to me about STL Pizza or Cali Pizza (ew). Buffalo Pizza is fluffier, doughier, cheesier, saucier, and pepperonier than anything you've ever had. If Chicago is a crusty pie and NYC is a huge flat slice, then Buffalo is quintessential Pizza. It's just so good. They also do excellent Buffalo Chicken Pizza and Steak Pizzas here in Buffalo. Dreamy. I will stand under oath and swear that Buffalo Pizza is the best in the land. Please don't ever order Pizza from Domino's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut et al. Those major corporations don't need a penny of your money, and they are bland cookie cutter chains that spend all their money on advertising. Please frequent your locally owned Pizza shops. They need it more, they're real local people, and the food is almost always wildly superior, anyway. Edit: I now go here like weekly whenever I am cycling because it's within easy cycling distance from my house. Nothing says "bike workout" better than a slice of brick oven pizza right? Sometimes the service is really nice, sometimes it is sketchy. There is one particular employee with whom the service is really, really sketchy, in fact if I see that employee at the counter, I leave without ordering, that's how bad that employee is. The rest of them are lovely and the pizza is absolutely phenomenal.

A very delicious pie, only critique would be to cook it just a bit longer to crisp up the bottom. Otherwise it was very good.

The food was good, the service was not. There was only one other table, and we barely had any attention. I was very disappointed.

I'm always looking for dog, friendly places. I hate to leave my little pooch at home while I'm out…read morehaving fun. Also, it's so much easier to have her with me so I don't have to run home to feed her or take her out for bathroom breaks. Candy Apple Cafe in Akron hit the spot! I called in advance to make sure that I could bring my dog and to my surprise, it was not a problem. Luckily I have a small Shih Tzu and she's well-behaved and she loves to sit in her stroller and greet everyone. She's quite the charmer! My girlfriend and I enjoyed our lunch outing. The breakfast plate that my friend ordered was fantastic. Two eggs, with a side of bacon, potatoes and toast. She also got pancake pancakes on the side, which I shared with her. Everything delicious. I ordered the open chicken souvlaki salad. I would give this entrée a 4/5. Other than the salad dressing being Greek and some feta cheese on the salad, the chicken was not marinated in Greek style. It was more like cut up chicken breast. Maybe with a little breading on it?? it's not authentic Greek let's just put it that way. It was not bad. It was just not what I was used to getting for this type of thing. I did order a French onion soup, which I really enjoyed. The prices are decent. The service is friendly and quick. The ambience is charming. Think small town diner. There's a parking lot out front. Plenty of parking in the strip mall that this restaurant is located in. I will definitely be back. Thank you for allowing my little pup!

Good service, good food, generally reasonable pricing…read more Plenty of convenient parking close to the door.

Although it wasn't as appealing as other locations make it, it tasted great! A sweet boy named Everett took our order at the counter. He had a pleasant smile on his face the entire time. He definitely takes pride in his job! The restaurant was very clean. We got our drinks quickly and didn't even have to ask for straws! I would definitely recommend this location, and if you see that sweet boy named Everett make sure to treat him with kindness he gives to the community.

A quick-service restaurant chain [Akron NY]…read more This was our first meal after a red eye flight. Arrived here at 3:30p which was 3 hours ahead California time. Tim Horton's is similar to a Dunkin' Donuts. Entered the store to us being the only guests. They have a variety of bagels and sandwiches. We placed our order at the counter. A BLT and soup for me. Hubby had a large cup of chili. My BLT was prepared to order, all fresh ingredients in a ciabatta bread. Generous on the bacon too. My chicken noodle soup could've been a meal in itself. Good comfort food. Hubby enjoyed the hearty home style chili. Service was good and the restaurant was clean. It also had a cute corner with couches and a mock fireplace. Amy O [Reno NV] shared that they serve pretty good coffee. I guess we missed the mark... Tim Hortons® is famous for its fresh coffee! Unfortunately, I don't drink coffee and hubby had a cup of water. Now we have to go back and get a few bags to bring home for the coffee drinkers in my family. Tim Horton is based in Toronto but when I looked for locations nearby it also said that they had restaurants in the Middle East including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait... and, of course, the U.S. And finally we bought a couple of chocolate donuts to go. These were a little chewy and not pillowy soft. I've had better. Review #3008
