8960 Wilcox Dr., Twinsburg Akron/Summit County

330-486-BLUE

American

Perched on a hill overlooking the Ohio countryside, this rambling lodge offers a lovely backdrop for Executive Chef Brandt Evans' hearty American fare. While entrées like short ribs and mac 'n' cheese may sound homey, count on Evans to update them with luxury ingredients and season them with culinary magic.

Crave

57 E. Market St. Akron/Summit County

330-253-1234

American

An earthy swirl of brick, glass and polished wood, Crave provides a warm backdrop for chefs DeAnna Akers and Aaron Hervey's long, inventive menu of high-octane treats, featuring everything from Black Angus burgers to porcini-dusted scallops. The bar offers an enticing roundup of imported and craft-brewed beers, along with well-priced wines and savory martinis.
Diamond Grille

77 W. Market St. Akron/Summit County

330-253-0041

American, Menu

It's easy to imagine a gaggle of heavy-set, cigar-chomping underworld figures hunkered over dry martinis and enormous steaks at this downtown Akron institution, but even today's suburbanite will enjoy the juicy steaks, chops, and seafood that make up Diamond Grille's simple, timeless menu.
Dietz's Landing/Club Marxx

Fisher's Café and Pub

1607 Main St., Peninsula Akron/Summit County

330-657-2651

American

One part vacation-town bar and one part homestyle restaurant, Fisher's is a favorite stop for brewskies and burgers (or salads and ice cream) after biking or hiking on the nearby Towpath Trail. In warm weather, seats on the shaded patio become prime real estate.

Flip Side

49 Village Way, Hudson Akron/Summit County

330-655-3547

American, Pub Fare/Breweries, Pubs/Wine & Martini Bars

Operated by chef Shawn Monday (One Red Door), Flip Side builds its gourmet burgers from all-natural, grass-fed Ohio beef, a welcome change from the corn-fed versions everywhere else. Nearly a dozen different models are available, plus the expected crunchy sides like onion rings, french fries, and housemade potato chips. Great milkshakes and craft beers round out this urban saloon-style eatery.
Gasoline Alley

870 N. Cleveland-Massillon Rd., Bath Akron/Summit County

330-666-2670

American, Menu

The plastic and neon of the Montrose shopping district are two miles — and several decades — removed from this little roadhouse. But while the Alley's big menu of sandwiches, pizza and salads seems soothingly unfashionable, execution is above average, the car-themed decor is charming, and the attitude is hip.
Hattie's Café

164 N. Main St., Hudson Akron/Summit County

330-655-0044

American

This old-fashioned soda fountain and lunch counter not only provides casual fare in a family-friendly setting, but also serves as sheltered employment for clients of the Hattie Larlham agency. The vintage fixtures were salvaged from the former Saywell's Drug Store, a Main Street mainstay for almost seven decades.
Hudson's Restaurant and Catering

80 N. Main St., Hudson Akron/Summit County

330-650-1955

American, Menu

Comfy, cozy, and family-friendly, Hudson's is a classic neighborhood restaurant, serving reasonably priced breakfast, lunch, and dinner fare, as well as libations from the full bar. While the owners' culinary chops are apparent in creations like Jamaican-spiced pork loin or bourbon-glazed salmon, the menu is far more homey than haute, with enough burgers, chicken, and meatloaf to satisfy even the least adventurous eater.
Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse

4073 Medina Rd., Fairlawn Akron/Summit County

330-670-6303

American

While the atmosphere at this Hyde Park location may be a smidgen less elegant than at its Cleveland-area counterparts, the Prime dry-aged steaks here are second to none. For unforgettable flavor, pick the thick Kansas City bone-in strip. At 20 ounces, this juicy hunk of beef will almost certainly require a doggy bag, but it's one of the best steaks around.
Ken Stewart's Grille

1970 W. Market St. Akron/Summit County

330-867-2555

American

One of Akron's top restaurants, clubby Ken Stewart's serves a large menu of seafood (the house specialty), steaks, chops, chicken and pastas, as well as dozens of daily specials. Prices can be high, particularly on specials; portions are massive; service is polished; and preparation is solid, if not always au courant. Impressively large wine list.
Mavis Winkle's Irish Pub

8870 Darrow Rd., Twinsburg Akron/Summit County

330-405-3663

American

Although it has the sleek brass, glass, and polished-wood look of a chain restaurant, this charming pub is locally owned and operated. The large menu goes well beyond colcannon and boxty to embrace quiche, gyros, and even burgers; no matter what you pick, the warm, custardy bread pudding makes a sweet ending. Irish brews on draft.
McDonald's

1050 Graham Rd, Cuyahoga Falls Akron/Summit County

(330) 923-8970

American
The Rail

3265 West Market St. Akron/Summit County

330-864-7245

American, Menu

Launched by Wooster chef-restaurateur Mike Mariola, the Rail is one of the most attractive adaptations of the gourmet burger bar to hit Northeast Ohio. Mariola's meat methodology consists of using local, grain-fed beef for his meaty half-pounders. Pair them with crunchy starters and sides, great craft beers, creamy hand-dipped milkshakes, and a trio of salads.
Ripper Owens' Tap House

491 E. Waterloo Rd. Akron/Summit County

330-785-3500

Music Venues, American, Menu

Formerly the Akron Scorcher's and the Tap House, the sport-and-rock-themed Ripper Owens' Tap House now has the former Judas Priest singer as a partner. When he's not on the road, he makes appearances.
Rush Hour Grille of Twinsburg

10735 Ravenna Rd, Twinsburg Akron/Summit County

330-405-4990

American
Swensons Drive-In

40 S. Hawkins Ave. Akron/Summit County

330-864-8416

American

An Akron tradition since 1934, this old-fashioned drive-in (now with seven Northeast Ohio locations) is home to the beloved Galley Boy double cheeseburger, along with a substantial array of sandwiches, soups, salads, and thick shakes and malts. Hint: Try an order of deep-fried mushrooms for a juicy change of pace.
Tavern of Richfield

3960 Broadview Rd., Richfield Akron/Summit County

330-659-0610

Whitey's Booze N' Burgers

3600 Brecksville Rd., Richfield Akron/Summit County

330-659-3600

American, Menu

Established in 1953 as a rural roadhouse, Whitey's present-day specialties are booze, burgers, and superlative chili. The cozy atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, although on weekends, long waits for a table are to be expected.

Winking Lizard

1615 Main St., Peninsula Akron/Summit County

330-657-2770

American

One of several Lizards roaming Northeast Ohio, the Peninsula link in this homegrown chain of casual sports bars is our favorite, especially for the building's pre-reptilian history as a small-town roadhouse and 1950s-style nightclub. Besides the ambiance of slightly faded glory, we also enjoy the casual menu of reliably prepared foods, which include great wings, good burgers and hearty, well-dressed salads.
Yours Truly

36 S. Main St., Hudson Akron/Summit County

330-656-2900

American, Menu

The Hudson YT offers the same big menu of freshly ground sirloin burgers, cheese-covered fried potatoes, specialty sandwiches, and "anytime" breakfasts as the other Northeast Ohio locations, in the same casual Victorian atmosphere. The wide selection makes it great for family meals with the kids.
