Hey Ohioans,
I am going to be in Akron for the week and I was hoping some of the locals could point me in the right direction for some good restaurants and maybe some cool black rifle shops possibly ones with a good selection of parts. Thanks |

Pro armament is ok, decent selection but generally high prices. Kames is near the Ak/Can airport and has a great selection of firearms, but not a great selection of firearm accessories. They have good prices and a good selection of all sorts of sporting needs.
For eats check out Swenson's drive in, a 50's style carhop burger joint. If your looking for a nicer meal, Mo's which is almost right next to Pro Armament offers fine dining great drinks and apps in the bar too. Luigi's pizza downtown is an Akron landmark. |

Luigi's other dishes are pretty good. Swenson's is good. I'd add Hibachi Japan. It's in Cuyahoga Falls. Not far, a couple of miles to the north, up Rt. 8. ETA. Since you're from N.Y. you might consider a trip to Cleveland. Maybe a 30 to 40 minute drive. Tons of great spots to eat. I'm a big fan of Melt. http://meltbarandgrilled.com/more-about-melt/locations/ East side location is about 35 miles from Akron. It's been on a ton of Food Network type shows (Diners, Drive-ins and Dives; Man v. Food). |

Kames Sports
Crystal Park Guns (opened Saturday on 30th st NW) Bricco for a nice dinner A&W Drive in. Way better than Swensons Wasabi in Jackson Twp for great Habachi Save a Fish Burger Bar in Jackson Twp also. Barley House is cool 69 Taps is cool. Summit Racing is pretty awesome too. Don't let anyone talk you into checking out the Interbelt, trust me. |

Casa Mimi for italian on Manchester Rd.
Hyde Park for steaks in Copley Louie's for burgers on Glenwood ave. Swensons or Skyway for Drive in (Depending on which side of akron your on its a huge local debate) White House for Barberton Chicken (Go to the original) Diamond Grill for Steaks, Downtown. Lockview on Main for Beer Selection. For Black Rifles, Fin Feather Fur is worth the drive. Kames in North Canton is also nice. Hope your visit to our city is pleasant. Keep us informed. |

All great ideas, Brother, plus––Fin, Fur and Feather just opened a store in the Cleveland area. Using the interstates, it just might be easier to get to their Cleveland store. Call 'em to see what they have in stock first: 440-243-9400
Fin Feather Fur ...of course their "original" store down I-71 in Ashland kicks butt with the black rifles and ammo. P.S. How'd you like that 7 inches of rain in Akron last night? Yikes! I am up here with family and we were all "swimming" last night. ENJOY! |

Just saw this....
Definitely check out Kames... The email special for the week is xm 193 for $4.99 For dining I would skip Ken Stewarts and Diamond Grille and head to Edgar's. Bricco is a pretty good spot to eat as well they have a couple of locations one downtown, one in fairlawn and in the Valley. Primo's is the place to go for sandwiches. ETA: I guess I am a little late....also didn't know there were that many Akronish people here |
