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.
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.
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.
