Papa Joe's

This is one of my favorite places to eat in town. I go a few times a month. All of the food is amazing. Portions are large and prices are decent. They have a small little bar area that is fun, a bit of an older crowd but you can still get your drink on. They have a take out area too that you can take home and heat yourself. Nice wine selection, also available for take out. You just can't go wrong with anything here. Service is good too

Today was definitely a busy night, so I don't want to judge too harshly, but our waitress was a bit snippy, but was nice to talk to once the night had called down. That being said, the food was generally good, and the atmosphere nice. I really enjoyed the chicken franchise. The side portion of pasta was a smidge bland, but I'll attribute that to them having to pump it out non-stop with the huge crowd. On a regular night where it isn't absurdly busy it would probably be more seasoned. I'll definitely give it another go.

A great family restaurant for Italian! Warm, friendly staff with a cozy atmosphere. An Akron institution that always delivers the goods

Just tried this place for the first time! Loved it! The petite prime rib is massive! My fiancé said every time we go he’ll order the strip steak. It was phenomenal! Cooked perfectly! The mashed potatoes rocked!!! My only complaint was that we were served an undercooked appetizer twice. I’m talking ice cold in the center. The waitress apologized several times saying that it was a special that the cooks weren’t getting down very well and that we weren’t the only table with this cold app. Of course, we didn’t get charged for the cold app because she took it away after one bite, but I thought having eating cold meat twice we would’ve been offered a drink or dessert perhaps. There’s a difference between good service and great service. We’ll definitely still be back regardless of the appetizer mishap! That’s how good our entrees were!

We had the shrimp cocktail perfect blend of ingredients to create the best cocktail sauce. A beautiful glass of Quill Cab with the cashew crusted trout, I know white wine might have been more appropriate. Finally a chocolate desert pudding with cherry ice cream, crazy good and homemade. Natalie the server was superlative.
