The beer and grilled cheese menu makes this one of the greatest hits in Akron.

Cujo James

They have an amazing beer menu to choose from and many of them are unique and always changing! grilled cheeses are simple but delectable! with an awesome environment to boot! Totally recommend

Daniel Crum

It’s not “Melt”, but I enjoyed Lockview. Food is good & it’s a nice late night grub option in Akron - more meat please! There aren’t a lot of those ????. Visit Locks 3 & 4 across the street too - neat.

Penny Phipps

Best tomato soup I’ve ever eaten. Salad are good as well . You can’t go wrong with grilled cheese and tomato soup . And service is great always.

Gregg Pullano

One of Akron's best places. Great selection of beer , better selection of grilled cheeses , BEST sweet potato fries . Ever.

Danny Dubiel

Everything under $10! Smashing gourmet grilled cheese and chocolate beer !

Amanda DeSapri

We love the beer selection ! Try an Anchor Steam , it's all American ale not to heavy, hoppy or light- it's perfect! The chili is perfect on rainy cold days!

Justin Frederick

Excellent and local. Highly recommended. Sweet potato fries and the wide selection of beers are to die for.

Christian Morton

Panko crusted chicken is good. They have many vegetarian options . Great craft beer selection

Penny Phipps

Any of the menu items are good here but I love the tomato soup . Having tater tots extra crispy is very enjoyable.

Jeff Prough

Love the food! But don't get the pop tarts .... They are really store bought.... Would be cool of they made there own! But I LOOOOOVE this place and will miss it dearly when I move.

Zach Bush

The staff is always friendly , great prices in decent food and a great beer selection .

Alison Stewart

The food is amazing, the Bloody Mary's are my favorite, and they have a rooftop patio . What's not to love!?

Rachel Whinnery

Always a great time when with friends. Dozen+ varieties of grilled cheese ... Can't go wrong with any.

Kelli Paugh

The Sriracha mac& cheese bites are phenomenal!!! So are the #6 and #12!

Dominic Marchionna

Best beer selection in town ! Tons of microbrews and imports. Food is pretty solid go with the #3 if you like spicy food or go with the gyro if it's the special.

Jen Cunningham

Great craft beer list . Also, get the tots .

Liz E

Got here during happy hour , 4-6. The martini choices were great. I went w/Mr. Right-Bombay, basile , pineapple , lemon and light, simple syrup . Recommend***** Hummus . Nicely done.

Dusica Malen

Croquettes are simply delicious ! Highly recommended

Lucas Barcelos de Oliveira

Plenty of grilled cheese sandwiches to choose. Good for vegetarians !

Cristina González Alcalá

Number 3 for a kick. #8 for something fresh. Brilliant comfort food ! Extensive selection of craft beers .

Ricky Callahan

Love the oldies music and the great atmosphere. Go for the number 12...delish

Sara Gee

Tons of amazing craft beers . Food-wise, try the #5 on Texas Toast . Or the fish taco . Both are amazeballs.

Ro Po

Get the number 3 if you like it hot! Tons of beer . I never thought I would get over this not being Bilbos anymore but they made this an awesome spot!!

Alex Grismer

The beer selection is spot on and the food is outstanding!

Meghan Murari

Great beer selection ! Number 9 grilled cheese was amazing! ????

Steven Wesie

The grilled cheese here is great!

Michelle

bartender got pissy & crumbled up our receipt when we asked for another beer ...didn't realize bartenders don't want to serve drinks & make $$. Mac and cheese bites were bomb!!

Kate Cma Aama

I loved the chili ! It was spicy but just the right amount!

Kelli Mohn

The Friday special (a pizza grilled cheese ) is the best!

Ryan Gibson

Mac and cheese bites are amazing! Of course it might just be the Srirach-up!

Christian Morton

Does not play sports on tgeir tvs . Usually good, non-mainstream music playing. Friendly staff .

Paul

Best restaurant in Akron. They have Rogue Dead Guy and Double Dead Guy, and awesome sweet potato fries .

Liz W

I love, love the sweet potato fries . And everything else :)

Tejaswi Tenneti

Ask for #12 and pair it with Ommegang

Jeff Prystajko

Half the price of Melt, albeit half the flavor and half the atmosphere. Skip it! Not to mention the rude wait staff (cheers, Michael!). So my tip: try Baxter's next door instead.

Jeremy Hissner

Great good. On Monday's from 11-2 all menu items are only $5.

Kristin Weis

A huge selection of craft beers and grilled cheese sandwiches ? Heck yes.

Steve

Roof bar if very cool. Keep in mind no drafts upstairs.

Lo

The best mac and cheese bites you will EVER have! Amazing!

Heather Murray

Lawson's dip & Gold'n Krisp chips . Great selection of seasonal beers .

Kimberly S

Good food. Not the best service but it just depends on who ya get.

Jeiran Hasan

What a great rooftop patio !

Molly Boyle

Over priced and over rated for the average college kid that's actually paying their own way. Manny's has much better deals for beers if you're looking to grab a casual drink in a fun environment
