What a delicious mistake!…read more A friend and I enjoy exploring different corners of Akron, finding new places to walk around and grab lunch. While driving through what locals call "The Valley," I noticed the large new sign for Michael's A.M. and decided we should give it a try. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed. The patio area was clean and inviting, and the inside was equally spotless. We were quickly seated, and our server, Charles, greeted us almost immediately. He was friendly, attentive, and told us he inherited his beautiful blue eyes from his mother--a fun little conversation that made us smile. My friend ordered the Strawberry Crêpes, which were soft and filled with fresh strawberries, topped with a rich cream sauce and generous whipped cream. She absolutely loved them. I went in a savory direction and ordered the Reuben sandwich with house-made chips. The sandwich was delicious--grilled rye bread piled with corned beef and sauerkraut. I especially appreciated that the Thousand Island dressing was served on the side, allowing me to add as much or as little as I wanted. The chips were freshly made, although they were seasoned with an onion-flavored seasoning that wasn't quite to my taste. I would have preferred simple salt, but that's purely personal preference. My husband ended up enjoying the leftover chips when I brought them home! One thing that stood out was Charles's attention to detail. When I packed up half of my sandwich, he even offered a separate container for the extra Thousand Island dressing. It was a small gesture, but very thoughtful. The restaurant was busy with people of all ages, and there seemed to be plenty of staff to keep things running smoothly. The menu is available all day, so you can enjoy breakfast or lunch whenever you visit--which I assume is the inspiration behind the "A.M." name. I noticed several menu favorites being recommended, including their quiche, Eggs Benedict, and vegetarian options. They're open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and most meals appear to fall in the $10-$20 range per person. We took a chance on a restaurant we'd never visited before, and I'm so glad we did. I can't wait to go back and try breakfast next time!

We had to call beforehand, and really commit to coming here because it is CROWDED. Even after calling about wait times, we waited for another 20 some minutes on a Sunday. Yeesh!

I consider this a one and done unless it really wowed me. I had that craving, I finally came here and yeah...I'm good! No regrets. Happy to check out other local brunch places in Akron!
