    Veggie burger
    Melissa P.

    Very cute inside, kind of by nothing else and a little hard to find the door! But once inside we had a nice time. The kids chicken is amazing I wanted to steal it. The kids burger is also amazing and the fries that came with both are so so good. I had the vegan veggie burger with homemade chips. Everything was great. Very nice server too! It's a little pricey which will prevent me from going all the time, but I will definitely be back.

    We're not in Akron often, but when we travel south, Lock 15 is on our rotation. The beer is good and after having tried most of the menu, the food is great too. I especially like the Shrimp and Grits. It's a bit different than most versions, more "stew-like" but excellent. The hand made chips are also fantastic. A pike of them and a beer could keep me happy for hours! Give it a try!

    Smash burger, Brussel sprouts and saffron rice

    We stopped here on our way to visit the University of Akron. The restaurant wasn't too crowded when we were seated but within minutes the place filled up. Our waiter was prompt and friendly. I had a flight with the smash burger, side of saffron rice and Brussels sprouts. It was brought out super fast and it tasted delicious. The room gave brewery vibes, as it should!

    Was in the area and decided to stop in, unfortunately I didn't get to drink beer as I was the driver but I had a little sip and it was damn good! The food was good, the pictures speak for themselves, great service and great food. Can't go wrong, wish it was closer to Columbus but next time I'm in the area I'll stop by again.

    Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner and was glad we did. My wife got the udon noodle salad with chicken and had a great flavor. I recommend if you have any leftovers, to heat it up as it tasted a little better with some warmth. The fish and chips I had tasted great, only criticism I have is I think the oil was past its prime as the fish was a little overdone. The Belgian triple was amazing and reminded me of when I lived in Belgium

    Chili and fries
    Red R.

    Really yummy chili, French fries and draft beer. We had our dog so had to sit outside on patio and it was pretty cold and had just rained but the staff was quick to dry the table and chairs for us and was super quick in taking our order and delivering the food.

    A group of guys stopped for drinks and dinner at Lock 15 brewery. I had the Killer Fog IPA which is a black IPA. The IPA flavor was not very strong and it was just okay. The jerk chicken sandwich was not great and appears to be pulled chicken with a little flavoring that did not taste very much like jerk. We went on the day before Christmas Eve and sat by a table of 25 people who were extremely loud and ended up moving. Service was okay, nothing special. Hopefully our experience will be better next time.

    Stopped in before a concert at the Akron Civic Theater. I did some research about a week prior for a good place to eat and grab drinks before the show and came across Lock 15. I was able to make reservations and in the end, there were bar seats available when we arrived so we grabbed a seat there! Sampled a flight and ordered their smoked wings. The bartender suggested the Cajun wings with buffalo sauce. Great choice! Good kick and flavor was delicious. Enjoyed our flight as well. Surprising flavor we tried was a beer infused with Waffle Crisp cereal. It tasted just like the cereal! Had great service, the atmosphere was relaxing, and bathrooms clean.

    Kids fried chicken skewers

    The place is super cute in an old warehouse. Easy to find, service was great. A big plus was being able to make reservations and having a kids menu. Had one of the best sours ever (cherry pineapple) and everyone's food was great. Very family oriented and a cool place all-around.

    Wings not so great

    Food was good. Wings were bland and didn't taste so good. But the service wasn't great. Jill was not happy to be there and made it feel like we were bothering her. It was Mother's Day so you would think the attitude could have been left at the door. Not even a hello but what you want to drink. Had to ask for a drink as she forget it. Just a bad experience. The smash burger was good. The venue was nice. We might try it again

    Fried fish, $22

    We went at 5:30 on a Sunday evening and the dining room was quiet and uncrowded. They were able to seat us at once. DH and I both ordered the fish and chips, which were just fine--pub grub, nothing fancy. I wish we had asked our waiter to ask the kitchen not to put added salt on the fries as they were pretty salty. Nice place! We'd go again!

    Not quite ready to be done for the day, I stopped in here and spent an hour or two with a beer and some wifi. It's a nice place and seating the bar area was comfortable. Service was slow to start but we got there and I was able to enjoy my beverage and set up with the laptop for a bit. Lots of beer options, I enjoyed The Grandfather Lager. Tasty.

    Amazing food and great beer choices!!! However they do not serve mix drinks on Sundays. Which seems to be the norm in that part of Ohio.

    Went with 2 girls for a birthday lunch. Of course we needed the "special " green beans. Have been…read morethere before and always enjoyed the food, this time I neglected to have the wedge blue cheese salad they each had. Big mistake on my part. It was picture perfect and I am still missing it. Our server was attentive and kind, the food as always delicious. Overall a huge success, Thank you Darby's. I will be back. wish you would change the front steps, I'm handicapped.

    Met a friend here. Her suggestion to come here for dinner. This was hard to score. A lot of good…read morebut a few bad. It was crowded on a Tuesday. They have a taco Tuesday thing but it's not a discount it's 3 tacos and you can mix and match from what they make. Which is not really a special in my opinion. The place has a nice patio and inside can fit an about 10 tables of various sizes. And the bar has seating. Cute place. I see it can get crowded on a Friday night or Saturday night. We got the green bean app for the table. They are cooked perfectly with teriyaki glaze and some tempura but not a lot. They have a sauce that has a bit of a kick but not bad. These are good and good to share. Good portion. I ordered the steak and gruyere sandwich and chips. Sandwich was good. Not big but very flavorful and good. Would have liked a bigger banquette for the sandwich. Ok amount of meat. It was good. The chip side was very crunch and good amount. But to me the chips were a bit greasy tasting. Needed more salt and a bit of flavor. It was a ok meal. The friend that suggested the restaurant got the Ohio burger. It was huge. She cut it into 4's and only ate half. It was big! She also got the chips. Again chips were ok just a bit oily tasting and need salt. The dining area is loud. Lots of people in close proximity talking. It's hard to hear and sound is bouncing. That was a bit of a bummer to try and talk over all the noise. Server was good very attentive and helped with suggestions. Bill for 3 sandwiches, including a burger, a water, coke and cider with green beans appetizer was $81. Not including tip.

    Love the wood floors and high ceilings. The panels really helped keep noise down when it became full.
