Super busy place. First time there breakfast was ok overall. The sausage gravy is a bit odd being made with hot sausage which is kind of an odd taste. But someone did tell me they offered or have a "regular" white sausage gravy so a second stop and review update will be soon. read more

Woodys place IS the place to go for breakfast! Ever since moving to Akron a year ago we have the privilege to eat here a handful of times. The workers are absolutely amazing! Their food taste so good! I don't know what it is, but the simpilict blt would taste amazing. The atmosphere is so friendly. The have a ton of room and try to move people as fast as possible if busy. read more

In town for a concert, wanted a local breakfast. Always try the local spots when i'm in a new town. Woodys did not disappoint. We got to sit with the locals, hear conversations from our waitress etc. Very welcoming and home feel to this place. The entire dining room was packed, yet we received our food in roughly 10 minutes. Great omelette, great pancake and banana bread served hot. 10/10 Local people & local prices for a quick breakfast experience. read more

Great place for a valuable breakfast! Food is so good and service is awesome! Highly recommend this small mom and pop place.

I have wanted to stop and eat here for at least 25 years and never did until today. It looks exactly how I imagined it looked 35 years ago, which is perfect. Classic diner with great wait staff and quick wait times. Came for lunch on a Friday and got right in around noon. Had the bacon cheeseburger and it was easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. My friends fish sandwich was good too. Will be back again! read more

HORRIBLE WAITRESS the waitress literally told us she wouldn't serve us because no tip was given last time. There was a$15 dollar tip given last time read more

Just go there! Quaint family place with best breakfast around! Try the Taco Omelette - it's the bomb! Steak and eggs is great and good pancakes too. Sandwiches and specials are great also, but I always get breakfast! Staff is awesome! Personable and quick service. Don't miss out! read more

I went there about 2 or 3 years ago and I got pancakes they were uncooked. Another time I went there the food was raw I got a burger. The service was good people were nice. I've gotten food poisoning from there read more

My sister (visiting from out of state) and I recently had breakfast at Woody's Place. I told her we need to go early because they are busy for breakfast. We arrived at a very busy time, which I expected. The wait was not that long. The food was great!! I had the western omelet and sis had the blueberry pancakes. Both were cooked to perfection! The servers were very busy for the breakfast crowd. And also very nice (considering the short staff) and was always around to keep my coffee cup full!!! These ladies (and chefs) worked their butt's off!! The atmosphere was loud and busy (which did not bother me). I would recommend visiting this place if you're not in a hurry for breakfast, I can guarantee you will have great service and very pleasant servers!! I will definitely be back!! read more

Definitely one of the better breakfasts I've had in a long time! Doesn't look like much but freshness and simplicity in the cooking not to mention an All female staff minus the bus boy. Our server was on point handling a large party and 2 other tables but I appreciated how they all worked as a team, and as quick and prompt as she was! I have the absolute utmost respect for working moms especially when they are pregnant, still able to give her heart into making her tips l. Props to her and the fresh food that the ladies in the back woke up early to prep and cook perfectly! If ever coming back through Akron, I'll make it a point to stop here. Oh yes... I had the steak n eggs and the lady had the chili cheese omelette. Steak was fresh and didn't have too much marble/fat, perfect and perfectly cooked/seasoned. Home fries were fresh cut It was like eating at grandmas! read more

Food bad, silverware dirty, not sure how health department passes inspection. Restroom disgusting and not cleaned. wouldn't let my dog eat there. Service was a hog drop, quick turn & shallow. read more

Probably the best overall, no-frills breakfast in all of Akron. I have read a few bad reviews about this place and have to seriously wonder if they aren't confusing this for some other restaurant. I have NEVER had a bad meal here and defy anyone who whines about the prices to tell me where they are eating for cheaper. The service is better than anywhere in town: never have to ask for a warm-up on the coffee, it just stays full without having to ask. There is a good reason why this place is usually packed every single hour they are open. If you do not like it, I sincerely would encourage you to eat elsewhere so the legions of folks who love it do not have to wait so long for a table. Would also encourage folks to consider where the majority of the scathing reviewers list as their hometowns. I find it a little dubious that so many folks from places like San Francisco manage to find a tiny little, unadvertised restaurant in south Akron. read more

Fantastic breakfast and amazing service! Cute little spot. We will definitely be back!!

Always quick and delicious and you can't beat the price! The staff is always warm and welcoming

I WILL never go here for breakfast! My son and friends went here for breakfast. As they left, the waitress ran out of the restaurant and said that the "black kid" didn't pay. He had paid and left a tip. I have called the restaurant several times to make sure that they understand how inappropriate and racists this is. Instead of taking responsibility, they have lied about my son and continued to change their story as to what happened. If you are a person of color, I would highly recommend not eating here! read more

Not only will this restaurant's servers racially profile the customers, they will also back up that server, call their customers liars, and tell different versions of the same story. They also delete bad reviews from their facebook. Their staff and choice to back them is a clear reflection of the people who run the business. read more

Been going here over 25 years. Stopped in today for breakfast. Huge crowd but seated self quickly. Food arrived fast, servers were attentive. Good prices and food as long as you are not a food snob. read more

Order to go. I have only ever had their breakfast items and it was amazing good. The prices are not too bad either

The best breakfast spot in town. The food is always hot, and comes to your table super fast. Brittany, Julie , and Gabby are amazing servers. They come around very frequently with coffee or other beverage refills. Highly recommend! read more

When my friend took a swig of coffee she instantly spit it out it was almost straight coffee grains but over all the food was amazing the staff is super nice read more

This is one of the favorite places in PORTAGE Lakes either you like the restaurant or you don't it's local flavor small quaint place mostly local people stopping in for breakfast or lunch their portions are generous and the price is average. read more

Hands down the best traditional breakfast you can get. Honestly, the breakfast here is so good I can't even remember if they had any lunch offerings. But I promise you'll want to get the breakfast. I got eggs, toast, hash browns, sausage, bacon, and coffee. All of it absolutely incredible. It tasted just like mama would have made it. However, you'll think they made a mistake when you get your check because you won't think it's right it's so cheap! Definitely a staple of classic American breakfast you won't want to miss out on. read more

if you are looking for a good traditional breakfast this is the place for you. Not fancy and full of frills, but just good ole fashion breakfast. Servers are great and very attentive. read more

No frills interior but probably the best breakfast I've had in years. Have driven by this place forever but finally stopped in while my dog was being groomed near by. Service was prompt and friendly and the breakfast was perfect. Prices were more than fair. Definite blue collar vibe but you can't eat interior design. I Appreciate a diner that gets its core business right: great food, attentive service, and fair prices. read more

I still love Woody's. I hope this place never changes. Good solid breakfast and a nice staff. This is a special slice of Americana and worth waiting in line for. read more

It's your quintessential diner. It's about a mile from my dads house and we come here every time we are in town. Friendly staff, good breakfast food (they have lunch and early dinner too- but it's a breakfast kind of place), and many, many regulars. Including me! Tip: ask for the cheeseburger omelet even if it's not posted on the board or on the menu. :) read more

M. This place is a Coventry landmark not high-end more of a good old boy spot. The food was better than average I would go so far as saying tasty. The staff was pleasant but very comfortable and loud if your looking for dignified it has left the building. So Woodys may never change to a point of destination but it may be around for another 20 years. D. Yeah I had a good meal. Not that the product it self was any different than I have had at other places, it was just cooked better. Had more flavor and better seasoning. They know what they are doing in the kitchen. read more

Great value! Atmosphere is local, no sterilized interior designers churning out their themes. Great service, great value for what you get! I will be back. read more

Very economical.. Fast and friendly service.. Nothing spectacular special about the food, but it was good for low cost inventory... We came for breakfast, ordered omelettes. Didn't care much for the coffee, and I wish they had creamer that wasn't fake... Would come again to try lunch... read more
