Restaurants in Kent

“I genuinely enjoy Battleground. The pozole is quite good as are their in-house beers (contact brewed at Modern Methods)
The flavors of all their food is always taste well blended. Though, moving here from out West and working in Mexico for years, I wish there was a bit more oomph (and a bit more kick).
My only real negative is their salsa Verde. It's a bit TOO tangy for my tastes and I think it could use a little more tomatillo. But to each their own.
They care about their food and that's obvious I'm every bite.”

“Stopped in last night to have our February Foodie card stamped. Kiley’s friendly, welcoming smile, delightful personality and amazing compliments related to the new owners of Laziza provided a fun evening for us! Thank you Kiley …. We will definitely be making the new Laziza one of our regular Acorn Alley stops 🤩”

“Beckwith orchards is a wonderful family owned business that has incredible produce and interesting items to parruse the store while you get your fresh baked pies or cookies! A must go place !”

“The River Merchant is 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”

“high quality food, great service, delicious recipes!!!”

“Lee Angelo’s has made Mad Cap a must destination.”

“The sushi variety was incredible! Definitely returning soon!”

“Love this place. The 18+ taps of fresh beer is incredible. The food is the best in kent for all being made from scratch and the bar program is off the hook!”

“Went with my In-laws this past Friday. The parking was awkward making it difficult to exit to the front of the building. The food, drinks and service were top notch. However, I thought the 3% up charge for using a credit card vs cash to pay the bill was a bit petty due to the already inflated menu prices. This left me wondering; why the owner thought it was more important to cover their $5 cost at the expense of me returning again?”

“I worked at Henry's for a few years while in college in the late 1980s. 🙃
Trust me, after working in any restaurant, if it wasn't top notch, I definitely wouldn't even think about returning. Needless to say, I have been eating there for decades.
Henry's still ages and cuts it's own steaks. Massive portions. Choice quality that you can't buy at the grocery store.
It's kinda funny that most everyone working there was working there when I was and most have barely aged...
Highly recommended.”

“The staff is very friendly, there are so many choices on the menu. you can dine inside or on the covered outdoor patio which is pet friendly.”

“I remember this from back in my college days. It was one of the most popular bars and had great pizza. It has changed over the years but is still a popular watering hole due to the great beer prices.”

“All the arcade games are free and the atmosphere is great. DJ and dancing is awesome too”

“Ordered for the first time and we were not disappointed! Veggies were fresh and crisp, banh mi bread was perfect and sandwiches had big flavor, spring rolls and bao buns were both fantastic! We WILL be back OFTEN!!”

“Love this place. The barbeque is stellar. It's kind of old school selling out of the trailer. But that's a good thing.”

“Ordered beer. Price not anything close to what was on menu and wall poster. Been to Mike's for decades Very disappointed. Probably won't be back. Sad to see false advertising.”

“My husband and I ate lunch here today. It was our first visit. Everything was delicious! Falafel, grape leaves, beef shawarma, and chicken kebabs. The seasonings were perfection, and all the food was so fresh. We will definitely be back.”

“Best pizza west of Philadelphia”

“Great pizza and AMAZING lavender shortbread cookies.”

“Stopped in to visit with a friend. The coffee was excellent, the vibe was chill and I loved it…”

“This place is awesome. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Daisy Pops is the cutest cake pop shop I have ever seen! I originally heard about them on the radio and knew I had to stop. I had one of their spring specials, a cinnamon roll cake pop. It was almost too cute to eat but I'm so glad I ate it because it was delicious! The staff was incredibly kind, helpful and super friendly!”

“I absolutely LOVE their food. Tried a few different things from here and was always impressed. It’s always fresh, quality and delicious.”

“If you’ve never had their blueberry coffee, you need to correct that. It’s amazing”

“the "Best" Mexican food I've had! Cheap drink specials! Clean!”

“Delicious, healthy, and fresh juices and smoothies!!”

“I Love their food. I've tried several different items here and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend it.”

“101 bottles has knowledgeable staff don't get that everywhere they are the friendliest bunch you've ever met also the owner does not mess around there when things need done they get done”

“Ordered large pepperoni pizza, traditional wings and a pepperoni roll. 1st time customer. Wow! Everything was amazing. Wings were like fried chicken (we got naked wings) and they were amazing! Didn’t even use the side of sauce. The pepperoni roll was packed with cheese and pepperoni and the crust was buttery and crispy golden brown. Pizza was amazing, loved the fluffy buttery crust and the pepperoni on top of the cheese was curled with crispy edges. May have found a new pizza place favorite! Can’t wait to try more items from the menu!”

“Great food. Love looking at all the detailed woodwork.”

“Why does anyone think this is good chicken? I got it last week for the first time and was not impressed. It was greasy had almost no flavor and their dipping sauce is disgusting. If it were crispy and there were additional sauces to choose from it would be tolerable. Considering its overpricedand very underwhelming I will not be back. Also if the chicken "fingers" were any smaller they should be called nuggets.”

“Forget the brisket sandwich, terrible. Burnt edges and overcooked. Sauce too thick and not tasty Club sandwich was superb. Gyros was average, packaged meat.”

“Food is delicious! Service was exceptional. Since it was my first experience with Indian food, the waiter was very helpful with my selection of meal. Thank you so much for everything. It was an awesome experience.”

“food is always great. this is the only place my family ever wants to go. i agree”

“Great service, food, and atmosphere! staff is extremely friendly too! it has been a while since the last time I had eaten here and I was definitely not disappointed.”

“This has become a comfort food spot. I love the fried dumplings the most! She is always changing out the menu, so there's always something new to try.”

“One of my favorite places in Kent 💖🧋 They have the best bubble tea, an extensive menu, friendly owners, adorable and comfortable atmosphere, and so much more. I love this place with all my heart!!!!”

“❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️😋 great people / amazing staff 🤲🏾❣️🤲🏾”

“They are very friendly and the prices are great and the bobba tea amazingly amazing”

“Love the fruit bowls but probably had my last one today. Price hike of 50% in 2 years is a little much for me. I understand there is inflation right now but when they first opened the location by me, the regular sized bowl was $7.99. When I went in today, I couldn't believe it when the same bowl now costs $11.99. That's 50% increase! I'm sorry but it's not good enough for that price. Atleast I got to have my favorite flavor in my last bowl 🍍”

“Always a great meal at Franklin Deli! Quick service, friendly staff, and clean restaurant. Highly recommend the Deli! Great for lunch sandwiches or catering a large group.”

“Not bad. I lived in Kent for 5 years and stepped in here for the first time yesterday. It was nice. It's a cute hole in the wall, local bar. The bartender was sweet and attentive, they have pool, darts and a joke box. The other customers were friendly. It was nice”

“Love this place! My family and I have been coming here for years. Highly recommended! Bailey her sister and her mom are wonderful people who make sure you have a great experience! We love this place”

“Outstanding customer service and excellent macrons !”

“They have great food, but they raised the prices to a point we won't go back! $3.50 for a cup of coffee! Our breakfast bill used to be around $20, last Sunday the same breakfast bill was $30+! We get the same thing every time! Will miss the wait staff, but can't afford to go back!”

“Cute place in a mostly secluded spot. I love the simplicity of the inside and the front deck area is awesome! lots of fun beer and other drinks to choose from. I had the "Fruity Pebbles" slushy, Yum!”

“Had doubts but man... A f fabulous do try highly recommended”

“Stopped in for a quick lunch date with my husband. Was greeted the moment we walked in the door. Food was made perfectly and tasted amazing! Employees were friendly and professional. Have tried other locations in the past, but this one is by far the best! Keep up the good work yall!”

“Great food at great prices! And tasty cocktails too!”

“it's a beautiful little restaurant and our waitress was wonderful. my friend ordered the mango curry and enjoyed it very much, but I was personally unimpressed with my food. i ordered the crazy noodles, and while the taste was good, the noodles were just disintegrating as I tried to pick them up. the jasmine tea I got was not very flavorful, had a little dusty note.

Dietary restrictions: they very intentionally ask for allergies when you order so they can be careful in their food prep”

“Since I am now working in Kent stopping at the Human Bean is generally part of my morning routine. The staff is usually friendly and things are great. I've recently switched to sugar free and I don't notice a major difference in quality!”

“L-O-V-E this placeeeee. Yass fantastic service and amazing drinks. Can't wait to come back.

Parking: Only a few handicap spots available. Kind of a tight lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap spots, all on one level. Very accessible for those who are handicap.”

“Food was great and staff attentive! 💖”

“Great!”

“Went for lunch, different location than my usual one. The parking side of things is different and can be a pain to get out but food and service were fantastic which is not surprising for me as the food is always great at rocknes”

“Good food poor service. Very good sashimi, also enjoyed the chicken dish. The two servers were scrambling. I didn’t get my fork and chopsticks until after my food.”

“Great place to eat and service is fast”

“Great local, neighborhood bar. Good Service and pool tables.”

“My wife and I brought some international students from Kent State to 5 Guys to experience some of the best burgers in town! They don’t disappoint!”

“I had went into this Subway to order a meatball sub, I know I had to use the bathroom but not so soon, I thought nothing of it until I had noticed this homeless looking man leave the bathroom 5 minutes prior, I had went into the bathroom and laid my eyes upon this sickening discovery. Luckily one of the nicest workers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting named Ryan cleaned this up so quick and efficiently, I watched him get on all fours and lick it inside out till there was no spot left, even being so selfless as to crease his Jordan 1's. I never got my meatball sub but this astounding service couldn't go unnoticed.

Parking: Great!”

“Great place to hang out with friends and listen great music like The Immortal Porpoises.”

“Fun spot to hang. Good crew and good brew.”

“Stahl's pays attention to the details and their products are excellent. They have treats no one else offers. They care about their customers and the community. Keep up the good work and God Bless!”

“Everything was reasonably priced, proportioned, and tasted great! The lady at the counter was very friendly and the man that answered the phone was all business. If you are looking for atmosphere to eat in this isn’t it, but their to go is spot on.”

“We ordered online and brought it home. For "fast food" they did a pretty good job.

I especially want to compliment the staff because there were only 2 people on when I went in (Thursday night) and they were buzzing popular to post and doing very well keeping up with everything.”

“I absolutely love this location! The workers are always super kind and never mess up in order. They also keep it very clean on the inside. This is my number one go to Starbucks. P.S. Even on their busy days they are fabulous!”

“This is not a fancy place, but the food was excellent! I got the Triple burrito (delicious) and my husband got the steak rice bowl. The helping were generous and the prices are reasonable. We will go back next time we’re in town!”

“The food was authentic and the taste of my dish made my taste buds very happy and the staff was very personable 10 out of 10 !!!! Will see you next time ! Highly recommended”

“Great food. Great service!!”

“Liked the salsa, had a bit of spice. El Jeffe chicken taco was my favorite. Guacamole was just ok. Jack makes it better.

Vegetarian options: Tacos with sweet potatoes, mushrooms and tofu”

“a Kent institution with an inclusive vibe. great place!”

“This place was amazing! we were so thankful to find out they offered gluten free subs! that is awesome when you have 2 out of 5 people in your family with Celiacs Disease. they do not have a kids meal gluten free bread though, but they still gave us the kids price. it was seriously such a blessing because you cant order food for everyone and tell the 6 year old too bad you cant eat here. we appreciated that they also sold gluten free cookies to go with the kids meal! seriously, this place is amazing and we do plan on returning.”

“we ordered deep dish pizza a few weeks ago it was delish. Tonight we ordered a quesadilla and sub and should have ordered pizza. burnt and not much in either.”

“5 out of 4 stars! Yes I said that right.”

“Tallmadge Marching Band went here for lunch after a Veterans Day performance.. They were 100% ready for a large group and served everyone quickly!!!! They did an amazing job. Thank you!!!”

“I’m a new customer, and I am SO impressed! Great staff! Fresh, Fantastic tasting food! Low prices! Top level customer service! I had questions on the menu and each time I have ordered from Marcos now I have received a lot of information on how I can create customized food options to fit my diet! I’m so impressed by the friendly and thoughtful staff! Thank you Emma!

Vegetarian options: There are so many vegetarian and/or vegan options I was thrilled!

Dietary restrictions: I am diabetic and Emma took the time to explain all the various ways I could order different pizza and other foods from Marcos while still complying with my diet! Great personalized service!”

“We were so impressed that employees were switching gloves between customers when we went for 🍦 the other night! 🙂 Plus, it was delicious!”

“They have vegan spreads and a vegan sausage you can add on! The vegan spread wasn’t your typical cream cheese flavor, it was a bit more spicy. I got the sea salt bagel to try something new, and it was definitely salty, so be prepared! Overall I would def come back, especially to try their vegan baked goods!! Also, the building reminds me of the German Bavaria, so that was cool”

“This is the third place I stopped at for Nachos while in the Cleveland area. Next time, I'll skip the others and just come here! It was hands down the best, love the salsa bar and love the patio and that it was Gluten Free!!! I'll be back!”

“It's refreshing to see a manager working with his staff to keep the line moving. Very professional and motivating to his staff members. The food is great, the restaurant is clean!”

“First time trying Belleria. We ordered delivery, including a 6-inch white pizza with chicken, pepperoni and mushrooms, and a regular 6-inch pizza with spinach, mushrooms, pepperoni and black olives. Both pizzas were excellent! The spinach was fresh, as were the mushrooms. We also ordered chicken fettuccine Alfredo. It was good, but one of the cheeses was incredibly pungent and a bit off-putting if stinky cheese isn't your thing. It could also have used more garlic, but overall, it was pretty good. The salad that came with it was a basic mixed green salad - nothing special but edible. The delivery driver was nice and prompt. Overall, it was a great experience! We will definitely order from here again.”

“For fast food Chinese its pretty good.. we always get the chow main as a side dish. And usually the orange chicken,and a beef dish. Crab Rangoon are good. Would be better with a plum dipping sauce vs their sweet and sour. But for 2 people to eat for under $25.00 one of the best values for eating out”

“Don't understand all the negative reviews. I go there several times a year and have never had a problem with the food or service. I have no problem recommending it either.”

“I don’t always eat at Applebees’s, but when I do, I request Maddie as my server! She not only provides fantastic service, but she is sweet and adorable as well! She is very knowledge about the menu, and she anticipates our needs, and offers wonderful suggestions to enhance our experience! Thank you for your 5 star service!! We’ll be back again and again!”
