My first galley boy and man was it good! Love the hustle from the kids bringing your order. There’s a reason they’ve been in business since 1934.

Classic Akron fare. Cannot go wrong with anything you order. Great for warm summer days when you can sit in your car with the windows down.

Galley Boy's can't be beat! Milkshakes are amazing. Potato Teasers with the spicy cheese in the center...just all so delicious

Best burger in America. The galley boy is the kind of burger wars are fought over. Thank a vet for their sacrifice which provides this.
