We always enjoy eating at the Ido Bar and Grill. We went on a Thursday and they take $5 off the comfort food. The pork was pounded, breaded and fried. It was delicious. The mashed potatoes were warm and came with beef gravy. The green beans were okay but nothing special. Service was great and atmosphere warm and inviting. read more

First place we visited when we came to Ohio. The atmosphere is a typical bar and grill. It was nice and clean and for me the food would be what you would expect for a bar and grill. The service was great and the personality of the woman taking care of us was above and beyond. We tipped her well because of this. The food we ordered was very tasty. The portions are very large and we couldn't finish it all. So we did take some home. We would visit again read more

The Idaho had a very welcoming atmosphere. Our server was friendly and efficient. The Sonoma chicken was so good!! I ate the whole thing! Portions are very good as well. I recommend! read more

We went at a perfect time literally no one in restraunt!!! The music was 70's We started off with the lobster bisque it was delicious but not hot... then we had the crab cakes more like frozen reheated cakes with Sriracha sauce. Strawberry lemonade bland... the way my friend was saying oh this place is sooo good I wasn't impressed to say the least then I had the Seafood Monica over hyped its just bland mac and cheese pasta with shrimp and bacon I real didn't see crab nor lobster like he claimed it was.... Sorta dry I doubt if I'll ever go back if so it's only be because someone took me there and paying my bill lol ... the waitress was nice knowledgeable I noticed some patrons acted snooty but you're on the slum southside of Akron it was laughable read more

Nice waitress, speedy service. The bar (restaurant) was clean and inviting. Food was wonderful. The kitchen sent extra condiments that we suggested. Prices were very reasonable. read more

I came for lunch on 2/3/26, left Margaret a generous $10 tip, and ordered Kate's cobb salad to have for dinner that night. When I got out the salad later, there was no salad dressing. I called to report it, they didn't answer their phone (they rarely do), it was cold and dark, I'm a senior citizen, live 30 minutes away, wasn't about to drive back downtown, didn't have any dressing at home, and had to eat my $18.99 salad dry which, by the way, had very little chicken on it. The next time I was at Ido was 2/27/26. I told the bartender what happened and showed her my receipt. I asked her what they could do to make things right. She had to call Steve (owner? manager?) and rather than give me a credit or another salad, he said I should have returned the salad and then, get this, he offered to give me salad dressing! Like what am I supposed to do with that, wise guy? Rub it on my face? I've always liked the food at Ido but I'm definitely not in a hurry to return since the management doesn't care about its customers. So heads up! If you get a to go order from Ido, check and make sure it's right before you leave. read more

Always good food and service. Has a relaxed atmosphere and staff works hard to seat you quickly.

My husband and I are out of town as our friends recommended we came in on Friday during lunch, everything was incredible, food atmosphere and especially our waitress Margaret, she was very informative about your Irish menu and made it such a fun experience. We hope to make it back next time we come through read more

I love the IDO, always consistent with their awesome food & quality service, never ever close or go away, please

Everything never disappoints! Hamburgers are great as the dinners. French onion soup is fantastic. Prime rib on Saturdays is perfect

Nice bar and restaurant. Themed meals at holidays. Marti-Gras? Yep. St Patrick's Day? Yep. I'm sure they did this upcoming Easter or Cinco De Mayo will be covered. A little expensive but a nice spot. read more

Sam and Kim provided excellent , friendly service. Food is always consistently great .

Best Reuben in Akron Plenty of Hot, moist corned beef on marble rye and I could tell that the Heineken was fresh read more

Ido Bar and Grill is exactly what you would expect it to be. It is old and the decor reflects that. We were there on a weeknight and it was about half full.. I chose steak and it was quite good and very fair for the price . Not sure if they were short of staff, but the waitress was rushed and kept apologizing for the delay, which was about 45 minutes . Luckily the drinks kept coming. I'm not sure if this is a fair rating having only been there once but I will go again. As I hear their specials are highly rated. read more

Ido is a local neighboorhood restaurant and bar established in 1998. The exterior is very plain but the inside is nicely decorated and the staff is very friendly and provides great service. Prices are good and food is good. It isn't high end cuisine but is a great place and has lots of repeat customers. Give Ido a try if you are in the neighborhood. read more

Ido Bar & Grill - View from the bar - American Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Michelle is a rockstar bartender. She was hustling - drinks always filled, taking orders, serving, whatever. Even though it was only a Wednesday at 5-6pm she had her hands full. Chicken wings were good/normal. All the other food looked legit and based on other reviews it's probably solid. Wished they had prime rib during the week or else I would've tried that. read more

As a former employee, I worked here for about 4 days before walking out. The kitchen is pretty yucky. Cooks do not wear gloves or regularly wash hands, even though gloves are provided, and the cooks have been there for 10ish years. They haze and harass the younger dishwashers and say foul things to them, they're extremely rude to the female serving staff. When the owner leaves the cooks start drinking alcohol on the line while handling customers food. The place is poorly operated. I started working Saturday, the owner neglected to have me fill out employment paperwork until after I quit. There's no one to handle scheduling or anything past the owner who just comes and goes, and handles business whenever he decides he wants to get around to it. I worked here for 4 days. The man pays me for ten hours. I sent him my logged hours in a text because I was never given any type of time card or anything, he never read my text and told me that he asked around and came up with a number. I explained to him that I sent him the hours in a text as I was there filling out paperwork, he told me he'll look into it and maybe next week....... So if you enjoy washed up cooks that cross contaminate your food by not using simple food safety techniques due to them flat out not caring and being lazy, and an owner who wings it in the kitchen and makes up for it from bar sales.....then this is your place read more

A little pricey, but good food.parking is limited. Very good service.can't think of anymore to come up with 85 characters

Shame on the Ido! We've gone to the Ido for years but tonight we were refused service because my husband has a service dog. We were told they don't allow service animals. This ridiculous and shameful. Also it's illegal to deny entrance to a service animal. Hate to say goodbye to what my family considered a great local restaurant but the restaurant made a foolish decision that I can't stand behind! read more

Really good neighborhood bar and grill. We recently went on a Saturday for lunch, and were extremely pleased with our meal. Mozzarella Wedges, Pierogi's with sausage and onions started off our lunch in style. Their mozzarella wedges may be the best in town. The pierogi's were, well, pierogi's. Not the best I've ever had, but still solid. And c'mon, they are still pierogi's!!! I had the prime rib sliders and my wife had a burger. Really, really good burgers here btw. Definitely worth checking out! Can't go wrong with the sliders either. Peppers and onions on a garlic roll, topped with house made prime rib and topped with melty Swiss cheese, with horseradish cream sauce? Delish! Check it out if you are in the area! read more

Four of us came in to IDO for dinner. Note that the dining room entrance is not on the street side. Our server was courteous and helpful despite forgetting a drink (which he did provide later for free). Two of us tried the burgers they were supposedly famous for - they weee not bad but also not good. The special blend really didn't have much taste and was well down without any juice. Bun and toppings were fresh. French fries were not crispy and some were just soggy. Fish and chips was good. read more

I've lived in the area for a long time and had never heard of this place until recently. I have been missing out. Seems very greasy spoon on the interior upon first walk in but staff was very friendly welcoming and on top of it. The menu was huge so I asked for a recommendation from the server. She said they make their own corned beef. Being honest, I was like "there's no way and it's prob terrible." Boy was I wrong. It was very good. I wanted another helping. We had 3 appetizers and one was a huge disappointment but the other 2 were good. I'll definitely check out again. read more

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Their decor brings back many memories from the "old" days! I love his place!!!!!!!

Delicious burger with super onion rings, though not house made. Wife's French Dip sandwich was excellent, very good bread and quality ingredients. Ice cold Modelo on tap was a real plus! Server was very attentive and accommodating, with being bothersome. My wife, in particular, enjoyed the atmosphere which had a strong neighborhood bar vibe, without being divey, and very clean, a real positive attribute for my wife. read more

Ido has been a favorite for many years- took my adult granddaughter there for the first time recently to find a definite price increase but still serving very good food read more

Best chicken salad ever. Food took a bit the last time I went but food is pretty awesome. read more

Everything is made to order and prepared perfectly! I love to take people from out of town here.

Great food and service. Try their fish fry, best in town. Their (0 years of experience shows in the quality of their products

Burgers were amazing! A bunch of (what I thought were) regulars were there and stared at us like we invaded their space but otherwise the server and the service was good. read more

Pretty much everything on the menu a hit. Never a rush to order or enjoy. Always feels like comfortable community. Try it!

Tasty food, nice atmosphere. This place has the vibe between a restaurant and a diner. We had between us a Cuban, sauerkraut balls, pierogi, and chicken wrap. The sauerkraut balls were excellent, flavorful. The pierogi I had as a main course, which was just enough. Greasy but very good. The Cuban was small but flavorful, the fries just OK. Same with the wrap. Service was very good. read more

Food was good, loved the cheese steak sandwich. Fries were delicious. Plan to try their burger next time.

Came down to Akron to see a show at the Civic Center and when my friend suggested this place to eat at beforehand I was a little hesitant, but boy I am happy to report what a pleasant surprise Ido's was! Four of us dined on things like chicken paprikash soup $1.99, prime rib sliders $10.99, the pork chop special, a burger and fries, and the Sonoma chicken. All of us enjoyed our meals. I loved that I could get more than just french fries with my order of sliders. Sometimes you just want a green vegetable that isn't deep dried. The sliders are spicy though so watch out for those Hungarian peppers! Also, I thought my sliders were a bit dry so I got a side of the brown gravy to dip them in and that really helped with texture and taste. There were several things on the menu that I wanted to try out so I will definitely make the drive to eat here again! This place reminds me of a diner back in my hometown that I worked at in high school. Simple good comfort food. No high prices. A-Okay service. Very unassuming. Would recommend you try them out! read more

We love this place! Have had at least ten meals here and we have never been disappointed. From the Pork Crunch, to the Ranch burger to any of their seasonal specials. Lobster fest, St. Patrick's day... All quite delicious. I have yet to make it during Mardi Gras, but I have heard many accolades for the menu items. Get yourself to the south side of Akron and experience this gem!! read more

I ate here a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised. It isn't in the greatest of locations but once you are inside it makes up for it. Great food and service. read more

Always a fun local place. Worth a try if you are in the area. They had burger night going when I was there last time. Onion rings are solid. read more

We met family here for a nice dinner! I had the florentine chicken and it was so yummy! Even the bread was yummy! The staff was very kind and made good recommendations. Get here early if you do not want to wait. What a hidden gem! read more

Ido Bar & Grill - Burger and fries - American Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Been a decade since we were here and the decor hasn't changed. That said. The food is always good.

This is worth the drive for an enjoyable meal, great service and hometown feel. I've had Ido on my list for several years as I don't find myself near Firestone Park in the evening very often, if this sounds familiar then don't wait get over there for a really great dining experience. I had to try the Maddie's Mac N Cheese only because it sounded so outrageous, it was and I couldn't finish the huge portion but savored the sauce of the nicely fried chicken. My wife had crab and shrimp over pasta which she found fresh and tasty. The food was comfort but in the best way, well prepared and thought out with very good ingredients. The menu is extensive and I'm looking forward to trying other types of dishes such as steak, fish fry and some of the lighter entrees. We really enjoyed how relaxed the pace and atmosphere allowed us to unwind, talk and just share a meal. See ya soon Ido. read more

Excellent food and service! We went for Mardi Gras and also their lobster fest. Everything was top notch.
