Definitely coming back soon!

Service was excellent and we followed their suggestions for lunch. Delicious food was enjoyed including a tasty charcuterie board and baked soft pretzels. I sampled the Hefeweizen and a saison.

If I had read the previous reviews while looking for a place to host an event, ,I'd move right along and search for somewhere else to take care of my rental needs. Who wants to deal with a Banquet Manager who seems bothered that you ask questions regarding the space? Or have to inquire more than once to come in and look around ? Ridiculous. As a long time employee (15+ years), Ive asked previous managers why there wasn't a price sheet and was told it wasn't my business. Fast forward to 2019. A group of Veterans called BULLSH#@ on how things were ran and were able to trim the fat and get rid of those who were not performing and bring in people who had ideas and ethics and weren't afraid to make changes and stay late and come in early. People who cheerfully pick up the phone and answer any question a potential renter has and is able to tell them what the cost would be with no hidden charges. People who know what, at the end of the day, Acker-Moore's intention is: to serve the Veterans, their families, and the community. I'm proud of my employer and the people I'm fortunate to surround myself with. Our membership has grown tremendously and with a larger membership comes more hands that are willing to help get things done, not just at Acker-Moore, but in the community The last 3 years have brought a lot of updates to the building as well: remodeled bathrooms, new floors, fresh paint throughout the building. The grounds are beautiful in the warmer months with the addition of flowers and trees and shrubs and benches. Give our Banquet Coordinator, Fallon Whitacre, a call at 330-618-8529 for any of your rental needs.

These folks care only about getting the money for the hall- no regard to the renters. Whether it is on the phone or in person- there is a tone of irritation and a feeling of inconvenience that they have to actually talk to a human being. Wanted to see the hall prior to the event- again- they were very put out that they had to meet us there- and actually did not show up until we called them again on the day to tell them we were waiting- "Oh, I forgot you were coming?" Really.... Want to rent the hall from 6 until 11- great- just make sure you know that you will not be allowed in a minute before your rental time- and if you drop anything off prior to your start time, they instruct their crew to throw it out- Seriously- balloons, candles in bag clearly marked- yep, they pitched them because they were dropped off 2 hours before the party and left in a corner of the kitchen. Game room is great- but check the quarter machine- it quit working half way through the party- no one to contact to fix this situation- which should have never happened in the first place if they would have just checked it before the event. Sorry- but as nice as the hall is- the folks are just too rude for us to ever recommend them. Just know going in- they are NOT easy to work with...

And he stays during your party and comes out before your party ends, riding his motorized scooter. Looking like he just woke up! It's embarrassing, and you're not allowed to come in to the hall any earlier than the hours that you rented it so forget decorating before your guests get there unless you want to pay even more money! He's not personable at all, he's rude, and his personal hygiene is lacking. I'm 100% sure that he lives there, I live right around the corner and his truck never leaves there. He's always on the grounds no matter what time of day or night, and he sleeps in the back room of the hall. Would not recommend, there's way nicer venues to hold your event without being embarrassed by the Hall owner.
