Akron is a great place to find unique and exciting places to eat. People often overlook this smaller city when it comes to culture and dining, but it offers an abundance of Midwest comfort food. Whether you are a foodie looking for something new to try or you just want a delicious meal, there are plenty of options. Here are some unique restaurants in Akron.

Crave

Crave is the place to go if you want to try some unusual flavor combinations. Their large menu has everything from apps to large plates and sandwiches. Make sure to try their steak skewers brushed with Guinness or the smoked Gouda fondue. They also have a root beer braised pulled pork and a wasabi pea crusted tuna that is a must-try. For those who want to try something out of the ordinary, they have a buttermilk fried alligator tail appetizer served with chile garlic sauce and pickled veggies, and for dessert, a cookie dough stuffed French toast.

 

Mr. Zubs’s Deli

This deli is a fun place to go when you want something quick and delicious. Their sandwiches have movie character themes and offer unusual flavor combinations. Try the Uncle Rico if you want a wheat bagel piled high with roast beef topped with tater tots and chive cream cheese, or the Aunt Margie for homemade corned beef topped with fried eggs and Swiss cheese served on toasted rye. This sandwich comes with a side of dijon mustard for dipping, and the combination is like biting into food heaven.

Cilantro Thai

Akron has several Thai restaurants, but Cilantro Thai sets itself apart with a great atmosphere and outstanding flavors. They offer authentic Thai dishes such as green curry made with eggplant and coconut milk along with Thai basil, or you can try their fusion combinations in their sushi rolls that combine Eastern and Western flavors. If you head to Cilantro Thai, make sure to save room for dessert. They have a wonderful fried cheesecake and a custard sticky rice that is out of this world.

Diamond Grille

Head to Diamond Grille for some of the best steaks in the Akron area. Many of their menu items are classic dishes, but they prepare and serve them just right for a delicious and satisfying meal. Make sure to try their porterhouse or check out their fresh seafood if you enjoy oysters, lobster, or scallops. They age their steaks just right, and they offer some of the best cuts whether you want their special sliced tenderloin or the royal filet mignon. The Diamond Grille is one of the oldest and most established restaurants in Akron, and they have been doing it right since 1941.

Whether you want something new and unusual or the classics cooked to perfection, you’ll find it in Akron. Try one of these places for lunch or dinner to enjoy a delicious meal, or choose one of the other up and coming new places in the area.
