The food can be hit and miss. I've had okay sandwiches, but the breakfast meals are always good. It isn't the great diner experience, which we were hoping for, but it gets the job done. The servers are normally efficient, though not always the friendliest. That's okay. This isn't trying to be a gourmet restaurant. The owners are nice people... More

My son lives on campus at Akron University and we get together on the weekends to spend time together and share a meal. On this particular weekend we decided to go for breakfast before we ran about town taking care of things. I pulled out my GPS and looked in points of interest under American food-LOL and there you have... More

Friendly service, great prices, good atmosphere, good food. Loved it, but a bit out of the way for me. If it were closer, I'd go more often.

My boyfriend and I randomly picked this place one thursday for lunch and I must say, it was a very good choice. The menu looks like ihop and hanini's had a baby, thus giving you lots of great options. You get very good food at a great value, excellent service, and huge portions. I loved this place and will be... More

Was very disappointed with our overall dining experience at Akron Family Restaurant...between the server carrying a syrup container in my salad, to the overcooked foul smelling gyro meat, and uneatable eggs, bacon, and home fries it is safe to say we will not be coming back for seconds anytime soon. This used to be one of our favorite locations, what... More

I read about Akron Family Restaurant on Trip Advisor and was looking for somewhere different for when I visit my Mum twice a year. I grew up in Akron but have lived in England for 41 years now so am not familiar with what is going on in Akron. We went here in May and I hope to have another... More

The place to go for a business breakfast or lunch -- homestyle cooking that is really good. It is close to downtown and seems like a longtime establishment that caters to the locals.

Local people eating good food. Can find the local pols and attorneys here for breakfast on a daily basis. Location is on the way to most of the legal doings in Summit County. Friendly servers that have been there for years. The kind of menu you would expect from the name. Be careful on a Sunday morning as you need... More

This is your typical weekend breakfast place. I would have to say it is better than Bob Evan's, but its not special enough to visit often. Prices are cheap, and the service is fast.
