    Okay, so this is THE place to go for wings. I've never had 72 hour wings but now I've been ruined for wings prepared any other way. They legit fell off the BONE. I told the server I am not crazy about sweet and nothing super spicy. He recommended the garlic pecorino, which were SUBERB. I took a couple to my parents and they were impressed too. I also had a Kale salad and my son had the chicken nuggets. The old fashioned was not my fave.....it was blood orange and while not traditional, which I knew coming into it, I thought it was straying a little too far. Too much.....orange juice? I'm not sure, but I would stick with a regular old old fashioned next time. Service is very fast and friendly. We were there early, like before 5, but business was picking up quite a bit as we were leaving. The ambiance is warm and visually pleasing. I loved the plush banquette area, but we were just a party of two. There was also outdoor seating, but I think it's still a little too warm outside for that. Great, great spot. I had seen the Cleveland counterpart of Good Company on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. They had some sort of lobster dip sandwich which stuck in my mind for a long time. I didn't see any trace of that on the Akron menu though. Welp. Guess we'll just have to pay a visit to the Cleveland outpost.

    Came here on a busy Mother's Day I have heard a lot of good things about this place. And wanted to try. We were close by so decided to have a late lunch. We came in with a few other families and the place was pretty crowded. We all got to sit. The host was kind enough to clear a regular table over a high top table for us. The space was an old fire station. So the inside is unique. There is a bar along the back wall and some larger booths against the walls. We sat in the middle with a good view of the bar. In the summer they seem to have a nice patio with a big garage door. Menu is large with lots of options including brunch on Sundays before 3p. They are known for wings and burgers. There were 3 of us and we all got something different. I got the house buffalo wings and a farmer salad. One got the cheesesteak dip, and one got the smashburger. Both sandwiches were a hit. My Mom loved the cheesesteak. And Kathy loved the burger. My wings were good. I'd definitely get them again. The salad was a mix of spring mix and brined asparagus. It was just ok. They have ciders, beers and even boozy milkshakes. Lots to offer. This place is a definite repeat. Parking is a bit tricky. There is a lot next to the building but not sure that is really the restaurants lot. Parking on the street too. Prices are about average. Our meal was $87 without tip and only 1 of us had an alcoholic beverage. So it can be pricey. I am glad we came here. It was on our list. Good server and good experience all around.

    Took my girls for brunch. Always a great experience. Attentive staff, great food, good times. They have a booth with cushions, I want to sit there next time... and the bathrooms are always clean.

    Pretzel
    Allison Z.

    Wow! Was very excited to try this place out, it did not disappoint. Everything was absolutely fabulous. Fantastic burger, homemade fries, and tender wings!! Now the wings were not crispy as I do usually prefer however they were insanely tender and delicious, almost like a rib. However the pretzel was our favorite, would recommend!!!! The cream cheese and the melted cheese oh my gosh I would dream of this pretzel!!!! Our waitress did proceed to forget to ring in and bring us the pretzel until we were done with our meals which was disappointing but wow did it make for a great ending. Do wish they would have compensated or apologize for the mistake, however it was tooo good to complain in the moment. The ambience also inside this place is very unique and cool! The surrounding area however is not the greatest, we did have to park on the street down a ways and did not feel the safest on our walk back. Overall a great spot and can't wait to return!!

    Vanilla hard milkshake

    This was my first time here, and the food was "good". I need to tell you something if you only do one thing that I would recommend ever in your life... Get a hard milkshake. I had the vanilla and my wife had the strawberry the vanilla is life-changing. The strawberry was tasty, but I have to admit mine was slightly better. We also had the fried chicken skins and some chicken wings. I thought it was an affordable meal tasted amazing. Great job guys I will be back.

    The menu has such an eclectic variety of choices. I cannot wait to go back and try something new. We had the wings were delicious, crispy and falls off the bone. We ordered plain fries but next time we are getting something on them. You can put any type of rub or sauce on them. The atmosphere has a cool vibe, it's not very roomy, I will call It cosy. Our server was sweet and attentive. I would recommend for sure, and like I mentioned I can't wait to try again.

    Sunday Brunch at Good Company is the move! The vibes here are chill and perfect for starting your day with a tasty meal with friends! The service is quick and incredibly friendly! These wings are the real deal! They're the perfect combo of sweet & savory, packed with irresistible flavors! The sweet pretzel is ideal for sharing with the table and is great by itself or with the cream cheese or jam! The hash is spot on! Go give Good Company a try soon!

    This is one of the better meals I've had in Akron this year. Cocktails were excellent craft quality, the flash fried celery root was *amazing* and the smash burger and fries were out of this world... we were out for a late lunch on a Sat afternoon and got in early but - after meeting some cool people over drinks and leaving around 7 - it was packed!! So be prepared! (Note they're not open for lunch we got in around opening time). We will be back very soon - great experience! Oh and almost forgot!! The WINGS!!! Best in Northeast Ohio!!! Don't miss out on them!! 72-hour marinade and prep - they drop off the bone!! From their website: "We marinate our chicken wings in dry spices for two days. On the third day, we slow braise them. Then we fry them to order and toss them in one of our house sauces or dry spice blends"

    We loved our dinner at Good Company. We sat at the bar and had great service from the bartender. The Good One burger was so good and the 72 hour wings literally fell off the bone. Best wings we've had, with great sauces to match! The garlic pecorino sauce is a must try. It was also live jazz night, which was really fun!

    Fried Chicken skins
    Brian K.

    Small Spot, Big Bites - Good Company in Akron is a Flavor Powerhouse Tucked away in Akron, Ohio, there's a little place making some big flavor noise--Good Company. Don't let the cozy, modern space fool you--this isn't your average neighborhood restaurant. It's a bold, flavor-forward experience served up in an unpretentious atmosphere that feels like your favorite hoodie: familiar, comfortable, and unexpectedly stylish. We stopped in with hungry appetites and open minds, and Good Company delivered with a menu that hits hard right out of the gate. Fried Chicken Skins - A Crispy Revelation Yes, you read that right. Not chicken. Chicken skins. These golden, crispy bites are the culinary equivalent of finding hidden treasure--salty, savory, perfectly seasoned crunch with just enough chew to remind you it's real. Think pork rinds leveled up by a chef with street smarts and a Southern soul. One bite in and we knew: this place doesn't play it safe, and we're here for it. Bourbon Molasses Wings - Sweet, Smoky, Sticky Perfection Wings are a crowded game, but Good Company has found a way to stand out. Their bourbon molasses wings come lacquered in a sweet-and-smoky glaze that clings to each wing like a slow dance partner--seductive, a little messy, and totally worth it. The bourbon brings a warm depth, while the molasses adds that signature stick-to-your-lips richness. Napkins are essential. Regrets are nonexistent. The Good One Burger - A Patty Worth Praising Aptly named, The Good One burger doesn't try to reinvent the wheel--it just makes it roll smoother and taste better. Juicy, perfectly cooked beef piled with the right combo of melty cheese, crisp pickles, fresh lettuce, and a house sauce that whispers sweet nothings to your tastebuds. It's the kind of burger that makes you pause mid-bite and say, "Damn, that's good." (Spoiler: we did.) Small Place, Big Personality Good Company isn't flashy. It's not trying to be the "it" place in Akron. It's just confidently doing its own thing--and doing it very well. The vibe is chill, the staff is friendly without being fake, and the food speaks louder than any Instagram filter ever could. This isn't just a restaurant--it's a reminder that flavor, creativity, and a little culinary courage can turn a small joint into a must-visit destination. So if you find yourself in Akron with a craving for something crave-worthy, do yourself a favor: pull up a seat at Good Company. And come hungry--this little spot plays with big flavors and doesn't hold back. Take the Trip Tip: Go with friends, order a little bit of everything, and don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. Good food tastes better in good company... and at Good Company.

    French Fries

    We stopped on a Tuesday night for dinner. They have a limited number of IPAs on tap but had Fat Head's Head Hunter in cans which was fine. The Spicy BBQ dry rub wings were very good. Make sure to get a side of ranch to help with the heat if you are sensitive to spicy wings. They were crispy and flavorful. The fries were amazing. Unbelievably good! Crispy and perfectly salted. Service was fairly good and ambiance good. I won't hesitate to come back.

    Snickerdoodle Milkshake
    Elizabeth G.

    This place was so yummy, but a few things made it less than perfect. I've decided to round up my rating anyway. I'm not a huge burger person, but their burger was delicious! Except it did taste mostly of pickles. I like pickles, but It didn't leave room for the flavor of the patties or cheese. And the fries seemed old? Overcooked? A lot looked saturated with oil, but they were still crispy. So I'm not sure what was going on there. I didn't get to snag a picture of the wings, they were amazing! Great flavor throughout. We got the Thai chili wings. While the flavor was great, there wasn't really any spice to them. Which I thought was weird considering how spicy Thai chili's are. The milkshake was absolutely delicious and I finished the whole thing! Our server was very kind, and the atmosphere in this place is great. It's so laidback. And they had nice single-person restrooms. All in all, it was a nice weekday dinner. Overall rating: 4.5/5 stars

    Anna K.

    Really like this place because it's appropriate for multiple occasions: casual outing, dates, girls night, party night out, peaceful dinner outside in the patio, solo dates, live music vibes, etc. I've had their wings several times and they never disappoint. The Vegan Oliver, however, was a letdown I'm not sure what the jerky bacon slices were made of but it was very bland. Not a very flavorful sandwich. Either way, our waiter was very kind and we had a great time regardless.
