We have went there 3 times and I've went with other people. I like the atmosphere and I try something different every time. The peanut butter smoothie is tasty! read more

What a cute little restaurant. The location is great. The parking is ample and the restaurant is clean. I recently visited Akron and my sister turned me onto the boathouse. We enjoyed our meals enough to go back two times in one week. The food is delicious. Please see my pictures. Both times that we went to the boathouse our orders were not correct, I would suggest having your orders read back to you. This little restaurant is definitely worth a visit. read more

They had the best breakfast and they're all people friendly special the cook Audrey he goes around and asks everybody if their foot is OK he's got the kindness heart that's the only place my husband and I go every Saturday or Sunday love that place read more

The food I had was delicious & our server was a doll, super sweet! However don't appreciate the rushing us out the door vibe. Understand it was busy and it's a small place; but take care of your customers you have first so reviews like this don't happen. read more

Solid food, nice staff, and well done space overall. They have a decent selection of foods for all your breakfast/brunch or lunch cravings. My wife wanted waffles and that is why we came here, she wasn't disappointed. I had a grilled buffalo chicken wrap with their house made chips. I had plenty of chips leftover to take home but not because they weren't good. We enjoyed our lunch here and would come back again. read more

The Boathouse - Inside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Akron, Ohio

We just made our first visit to The Boathouse and were quite surprised by how small the restaurant is. With it being a Sunday morning, our wait time was considerable. The hostess estimated 10-20 minutes, but it was closer an hour. We continued to wait after being seated for another 15-20 minutes before receiving our beverages. Later, we had to have another server get our server for refills of coffee. From start to finish, our experience was just shy of two hours. Not ideal, but we know to plan accordingly next time. The food, however was phenomenal. I got "The Overboard," which included two eggs, meat (I chose sausage), crispy hash browns & a fluffy pancake. We definitely received hearty portions of everything & it was all well made. Without a doubt, one of the better breakfast spots in the area. I can see why they draw such a crowd. read more

The service was good, it a small establishment , it took a while for the waitress to come back to my table to check on us. I needed sugar-free syrup, took a while to get the waitress to return.The look of the restaurant was "boat themed ", which was nice. It was very clean, bathrooms too. The food was good my wife loved the crab cakes , she mentioned how " fresh tasting " they were. I had the blueberry pancakes w/eggs & bacon. The pancakes were nice and hot blueberries were cooked into the pancakes which I enjoyed. I would return back more often if it wasn't so far from where we live . read more

On my home from Wing-foot Lake State Park I decided to stop at this little upscale breakfast/lunch dinner. Nice surprise to see all the delicious food being served up in an simple clean fresh looking restaraunt. My turkey wrap was yummy & the potato chips were homemade & delicious. I was there on Saturday on a magnificent Summer day for lunch. The restaraunt was buzzing with conversation of customers. I sat outside & the service was pleasantly attentive but the kitchen slow. On such a great day with good food & friendly pleasant service who could not like this place! read more

Firstly, we got sat down and we thought the place looked cute and clean- that was the only good thing about this place. The service was horrible, we waited 35 minutes for our food and that entire time, our server did not come to ask us for refills or give us an update on what is maybe taking so long. The hostess had to get our drinks even. When our food did come out, it was brought out by a cook.. again, our server had not even been around at this time. The pancakes were huge which is cool, but unbelievably dry. Our bacon was severely undercooked and floppy.. who do we ask about this when our server is so inattentive? When the server finally did come over she just asked if I wanted a refill in which I replied yes- that took about 10-15 mins to receive; she ignored my boyfriend's empty cup. This whole time she never even introduced herself so I am unsure of her name, she was clearly unhappy to even be there and did not have upbeat energy whatsoever. We only saw her 1 more time when it came time to pay. It was my boyfriend's birthday and I feel like he was punished having to be at this place for breakfast time. I would never recommend this place to anyone I like. read more

Tried this place out for brunch on Sunday at around noon. We received a beeper and had to wait about 25 minutes for a table which was all good for a busy mealtime. Once we were seated, our server brought us waters and then proceeded to ignore us for the vast majority of the time we were there. We were seated in the corner and not asked if we wanted to sit outside and it seemed like most of the server attention was going to the tables outside. We were perfectly friendly but literally had to flag someone down to get a water refill and some coffee. We were told she would be right back with coffee and then didn't see anyone again for 20 minutes. I feel I am patient and understand things get missed sometimes but over two hours for two of us to get breakfast is a little ridiculous to me. They were not THAT busy and there appeared to be plenty of servers moving about. That said, no one was rude to us or anything - we were just forgotten. The food wasn't bad but it was nothing spectacular, especially with the lack of service. Maybe it was an off day but unfortunately this place just missed the mark for us. read more

The Boathouse - Avocado bowl without the tomato - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Great modern diner that keeps blends the timeless diner with modern touches in both menu and ambiance. I enjoyed the steak and eggs which had creamy gravy. The steak was cooked properly and plenty of flavorful breading. My wife had chorizo tacos which she devoured. Potatoes, yes the have both cubes and shredded so whichever side of that debate you'll come out a winner. read more

M- they have stepped it up from our last visit ordered the soup and a pancake. The soup was tasty and surprising for 7:30 am the pancake was to big for a light breakfast a little too solid for flapjacks big boys silverware which I appreciated. If you like boats there is plenty to stare at. All in all not a bad stop in the am should make a lunch stop sometime read more

My brother and I went for brunch on a Sunday around 1130 and understandably there was a bit of a wait. It was a cute little mom and pop like diner vibe mixed with coastal decor. Once we were sat l, the server Sophia came over. I ordered a mimosa and she told me no alcohol sales on Sunday (I personally think this should be on the menu). She didn't offer any other options and seemed at after us that received food faster. My brother ordered the buffalo wrap with no onions and a side salad. As a prior server, I would have mentioned there are onions on the salad... but she didn't. Both the salad and the wrap came out loaded with red onions. I ordered the over board with bacon, hash browns, eggs over medium and a pancake (the menu also said bread I think). His food came out, mine was about 3 minutes behind.. other than the pancake and toast. She came back and said it should be out soon. We were never asked if we needed anything else when the food was delivered. When she came back to let me know it still wasn't ready I informed her of the onions in the wrap as, and she just said sorry and walked away. She delivered food to the table behind us (in a piecemeal fashion) and i got her attention and told her just to not worry about bringing the pancake since I was almost done. She asked if we wanted the wrap remade and I asked how long it would take.. she didn't have any ballpark guess so we said no. She brought the check and I asked for it to be updated to reflect the breakfast combo without the pancake since I didn't receive it.. she kept telling me "it wasn't extra". The price was a dollar difference. After the wrong items, no ketchup/hot sauce/etc, and missing items, I feel that was a reasonable request. We then saw her at the counter speaking to a woman in a black chef coat (assuming manager), this woman bussed the table next to us before the check was dropped off, and never came to speak to us. Sophia then came to ask if she could take our plates as my card was out and we had waited. Again, from being in the service industry for many years during college and frad school, cues should be taken to take the payment and then come back for plates. It was so disappointing that the service and customer service was so poor and the kitchen wasn't coordinated because the menu looked promising. read more

It was just average. The waitress was new and sweet, we had a big group and they did an excellent job with us. The food was just okay. I hate when beers aren't filled to the top, it's such a waste. read more

My wife and I tried The Boathouse for the first time after my wife received a newsfeed. The location isn't very prominent and you might miss it as it's on the far end of a strip mall, but don't the outside fool you. The inside is Boathouse Fabulous. It's not very big on the inside as far as seating goes, but it has high ceilings with lots to look at. We arrived around 10:30 am and had to wait around 26 minutes. We were given a wireless notification transmitter that chimed. (Probably easier to have a texting feature and avoid the cost of losing the transmitters. ) Our server was amazing. She was warm and bubbly and made us smile. My wife tried the biscuits and gravy which she absolutely loved. I tried the Breakfast Charcuterie and scrambled eggs (extra charge) which came out in a wonderful presentation. My only problem is that the pancakes and Belgian waffle were cold and the sausage were undercooked. This would have been a home run breakfast if there was a way of preparing all the components and having them still hot. Again besides the temperature, the food wasn't bad. Seems like the pancakes and waffles were not cooked to order. read more

Trying hard to like the Boathouse, but coffee is weak, water is not filtered, and it is very very VERY loud inside. Servers hustle, seating and drinks come fast, food pretty quickly. We're lucky to have a diner in this area. read more

Food was great, they have a variety on the menu! Super cute spot to grab breakfast, fast & friendly service.

Wife loves eggs benedict. She rated the ones at this restaurant as top notch. Pancakes are very good and enormous. Place was busy but service was good. Very clean. You will have to hunt for this place at the far end of a small strip mall, but it is worth it. read more

Great food. We know when we go that we will wait. They have a beeper so we took a walk. Nice breakfast menu their cheese omlette you have choice of cheddar, Swiss or pepper jack. I wish they would have provolone. Home fries nice and crispy love that they have Frank's Hot Sauce ! Husband ordered scrambled eggs nice and fluffy and home fries and chorizo and big @$$ pancake staff is always hustling . The only negative is trying to get someone's attention for coffee/iced tea. Still on one of our favorite brunch spots read more

I have a pet peeve, it's with service. We needed to get lunch we had an appointment with the VA. When we walked in we had 1 Hour and 15 mins., plenty of time. We ordered two sandwiches neither difficult, BLT plus egg and Chicken Salad. I got a smoothie, which had no flavor, I kept asking if I was loosing my taste buds. It took most of the hour and 15 minutes for the food to be prepared. The couple who walked in with us were served and left before our food arrived. My husband and I are elderly, more on that in a minuet, we were not locals. We don't and probably never will eat there again so we got pushed to the back. Let me tell them, that extra money from walk ins will help some time. Elderly, until we moved back to Ohio my age was never mentioned in a doctor's office, church. or place of business. We came from California, people could be rude, but your age never entered into service. Because older people still have money. They pay your bills. Serve them as they come in to eat and don't think they have plenty of time. read more

This is our new go to for Saturday mornings. My husband and I like to go out on Saturday mornings. Found this place just a google search. Our old breakfast place was just ok food with nice staff. This is one of the cleanest restaurants we've been in, in some time. I love the avocado toast. Wonderful flavors. And coffee is very good. Today I tried the French toast. It was too soft for me, but I like mine almost crunchy. And I'm sure the bread was very fresh. My husband likes the fried potatoes. And today he had the eggs Benedict. Said it was very good, would get again. We even took our grandson for a birthday lunch. The staff is great. Everyone is very pleasant. We will definitely be back. read more

Really excited about this cute new breakfast spot so close to home! It's tucked away in the Gala Commons, but I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of patrons in this newer place! The interior is completely redone & beautiful! The servers are well-trained & attentive. The only bummer was that the food took a *long* time to come out, but hoping that is ironed out with time. I had the Overboard Breakfast- egg, bacon, potatoes, toast & a pancake and my husband had the meat lovers omelette. We both left with to-go boxes due to generous portions! Overall, I'm excited to welcome this spot into our rotation and neighborhood! read more
