“ My family and I have been coming to Diamond Grille for years to celebrate birthdays, holidays, or just enjoy a date night. This Akron staple, with over 100 years of history, never disappoints. The staff is always professional and attentive, ensuring a great experience every time. We love starting with appetizers--banana peppers are my favorite, and the shrimp and crab cocktails are phenomenal. This is the first place that made me love cocktail shrimp! Their homemade garlic vinaigrette elevates a simple salad, and I always get mine with feta and extra cucumbers. On Wednesdays, the prime rib is a must-try. Otherwise, the scampi with rice pilaf (served with a candle-warmed butter dish) or the Boston strip steak are excellent choices. The service and food quality are consistently top-notch, making this one of my favorite restaurants. ”
“ I adore the Diamond Grille. Everything was great. I was only able to eat there once thus far but look forward to it in the future. ”
“ Celebrated my birthday at Diamond Grille. Had a reservation on a Saturday night. Seated immediately. Vibe was very old-school, art deco interior and was like being a bit in a time warp. Food was more than solid. Our party had a couple of filet's, strip with bleu cheese and lobster tail. Like the fact that the entrees come with salad and a side. Steaks were well-prepared, everyone was pleased. Wife said the lobster was a little tough, but was a really nice size. Came with bread for the table. Drinks were solid, had a nice wine list, but we didn't have any wine. Service was excellent. Seemed well staffed and did not notice anyone having service issues. Since it was my birthday, got a nice complimentary ice cream. Only issues was the bathroom is downstairs and those with mobility issues might have a problem. I'm in my late 60's and felt like a kid in the place..... Also some don't like that it is cash only, not a problem for me but if you didn't know ahead of time could be an issue. ”
“ Old school cool meets really good quality steakhouse food. We are DC foodies, so coming from easily the best foodie town in the country to Akron Ohio, we didn't expect any real wows. Steaks were phenomenal, sides were good, apps fantastic. A little strange going somewhere that only takes cash or check but that's about the only hiccup. Looks like it belongs as part of the set of Goodfellas or Sopranos inside-my husband said the old fashioneds were good too. Great place for a nice dinner. Bring cash. ”
“ I love steak and Diamond Grill has great steaks. Try the oysters Rockefeller as an appetizer- my wife loves them. Service is excellent. Staff is friendly amd laid back. This is an old school steak house with a rat pack vibe but it isn't stuffy. No pretentious attitudes here. ”
“ The ladies who work here are amazing and sweet! The food is quality, however you want it prepared it's made your way. This place is simple and delicious come, with you CASH or CHECK no cards Everything is amazing I love the fresh fish and different specials each day! Love the decor also. ”
“ It had been 20 years since I was there and it didn't disappoint. Love the vibe of the place, The main dining room is a 1950s movie set, but original to this place. Founded in 1935 and updated in the 50s. Helpful, cheerful and professional staff. A great place to converse over a great meal. Sauerkraut balls were not a favorite, put everything else was just great. The long bone ribeye was excellent, the best. The home fries were served homestyle, which was fine, but I didn't want to share... they were so good! If you are planning a day in Akron, include the Diamond Grille... and time travel with taste ;) yes it is cash/check only, has always been ... It is printed in bold at the bottom of the menus ... if you don't like it, then don't leave a bad review for your inability to read. ”
“ In my opinion, this is the finest Ribeye in NE Ohio! I'm a huge fan of Diamond Grille! I have eaten here at least 100 times in my life and I live in Downtown Cleveland. It's worth the 40 minute drive for me. Personally, I'm stunned by a sub 4-star rating from my peers. I've never had a bad experience. The Shrimp and Crab Cocktail are top notch. The cocktail sauce is extra spicy. Steaks are generous and come with a side and salad. I always upgrade the Wedge to include bacon/egg (not sure why it isn't standard) The French Onion Soup is also solid. The show starts and stops with the Long Bone Ribeye. I like it more than any steak in Cleveland/Akron. The Filet is solid, but not as good as the king bone. They serve a Porterhouse special on Tuesday and Prime Rib Special on Wednesday. Bar pours well. Wine list is solid, not great. Atmosphere is reminiscent of old school "Mad Men/Don Draper" Steakhouse. You'll love it! ”
