Larry’s Main Entrance

Inconsistent food, service was disappointing. Very disrespectful owner. Will take my business elsewhere.

Larry’s was just ok. Baked potato underdone but patty melt very good. Not a great location for disabled people. One of our party fell on the steps because visibility was so bad.

Laid back family owned place. Last time we were there, our server was Larry’s grandson. Food is very yummy bar-​type comfort food. Good burgers and fries and good fish fry. Serve local beer and pop.

Drove past Larry’s on Market Street for years, meaning to support a local business. We finally dropped in for an early supper. Great ambience, convenient parking in the back, and a friendly staff. We enjoyed the Manhattan clam chowder, Philly cheese steak, and prime rib. Great choices for on tap beer (e.g. Thirsty Dog). Reminds us of a classic Chicago bar. Tracy, our server, was excellent. She offered great advice and service. We will be back. Fellow Unilocalers: support a localAkron eatery in 2015.

My fiancé and I love Larry’s! It has a great atmosphere, delicious food, friendly staff and strong drinks. Never had a bad experience!

Visited this place for $ 5 Monday Burger special. Well made burger & tasty. Will go back for this again. Price of drinks very reasonable too. One thing you’ll notice at this popular neighborhood pup & grill is all the loyal customer base they have. Like a «Cheers».

I live within walking distance of Larry’s and always assumed it was a bar for an older crowd but my friends and I started going and now rarely go anywhere else. Alan is hands down the most amazing bartender & man ever basically. It’s very good bar food, not healthy or anything, but awesome for what it is. Drinks are strong and reasonably priced and the place has a very cozy & welcoming atmosphere. We’re friends with most of the servers now and love the over all vibe. I bring any out of town guests here and it never disappoints! YES LARRYS

Love this place! Comfortable! Being a single woman that likes to catch a bite to eat and cocktail quick, I never feel uncomfortable going in solo! Neighborhood feel. Professional and friendly owners and staff. Consistency is the key to this place. Give it a try if your new to the area! If your a west Akron resident I’ve probably seen you here!

As a lover of good burgers, some friends and I decided to give Larry’s a try last Monday, which was $ 4.95 Burger Night. As the usual prices range up to almost $ 10.00, it seemed like a good idea to try them on a Monday. I arrived just a bit after 6:00 and grabbed the only table capable of seating a small group of people, tucked away in the back front corner. Or, since you enter from the rear, was it the front corner? Anyway, I secured the table, ordered a draft ($ 2.60 for a 16 ounce Yuengling), and watched as a line began to form as the crowds arrived. Guess everyone wants the $ 4.95 burger, a positive sign.
Within a few minutes our table was occupied by six. It would have been eight if there was a wheelchair entrance. When informed that one of our party was in a wheelchair, the staff said they could place a portable ramp at the entrance. Unfortunately, the ramp was only about two feet wide, the kind used to move beer off the truck, up a step and into the building. As the wheels of a wheelchair are three feet apart, the ramp was useless. So, handicapped friends, in spite of what it says in the reviews, Larry’s IS NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSABLE. Needless to say, two potential customers left with a bad feeling. (Couldn’t they get a second ramp to pair with the first?)
But on with the review. As I mentioned, the place was packed. We didn’t get our order in until almost 7:00. We were served at 7:30. THE BURGERS WERE WORTH THE WAIT!
Weighing in at probably eight ounces, the burgers were everything we had hoped for. The fresh-​cut fries were just as good. What else can one say? I highly recommend the place. Don’t come with a large group unless you plan to sit outside because most tables only hold two people; booths hold four. And, aside from the table we were at, there is a step up to the tables from the bar area.
Note: the $ 4.95 burgers are also available on Tuesday and Wednesday before 4:00. All burgers come with lettuce and tomato and are served with fresh-​cut fries. I had the Smokey Burger, topped with bacon, onion rings, cheese and BBQ sauce. I tried one of the rings by itself. Perfectly deep-​fried and delicious.

Best burger in Akron. The fried mushrooms are a huge bowl of delicious and if you’re lucky enough to get the clam chowder; get it! Another reviewer commented on the grease level… seriously its a burger and fries. Don’t go there for health food. Also try the Bloody Mary, one of the best around.

I love Larry’s! One of my favorite restaurants in town! Fantastic burgers! Reasonably priced and good nightly specials!

This place have the best prime rib one can ask for. I will have to say that the service is sketchy. They were very slow but they were very busy. They have 2 sizes for the prime rib, 12oz, and 16oz. I got the 16 oz and my friend got the 12, they looked the same size to me, so I recommend just getting the 12 oz. I will go back and I do recommend the place to others. All the food that I seen pass me actually looked amazing.

The grease was legendary. Sadly this used to be a favorite spot. The food is less than mediocre and the waiter-​during the day– clearly hates his job. My veggie wrap was a sad display of raw vegetables. Mostly white onion and a huge end piece of a tomato. My hash browns, which used to be a favorite were probably from yesterday. They were small burnt greasy pieces that looked like they were from the bottom of the fryer. My daughters chicken sandwich was fried to death– no moisture left anywhere. It had no flavor except hot because of the $.30 extra piece of cheddar jack cheese. Her French fries were also from the same bag of potatoes used yesterday. Old. Burnt. Plus an extra large half potato clearly not seen by the cook. The Whole place is truly dirty. Seriously, wipe down a handle or a picture every ten years or so. The ONLY redeeming quality left is the blue cheese dressing. I, however will NOT be going back even for that.

The best burger in Akron! I used to go to Larry’s a lot years ago w/​coworkers and always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Last night my boyfriend asked where we could get good burger and I took him here. SO GOOD! Burgers are so huge and flavorful and the fries are delicious! My boyfriend was so impressed that he is going to bring his friends there next week!

— My absolute favorite place to grab a drink or dinner!
— The atmosphere is romantic and fun. I recommend sitting at the bar where you will surely hear passionate, intellectual and entertaining conversations!
— If you come before 6pm you can relax in a chill atmosphere and have a great conversation with Alan! (He’s my favorite)
— If you come later you can meet individuals from all walks of life, all nationalities, all careers! I’ve met so many interesting people there, life long friends too!
— The last few times I’ve been there I haven’t been able to resist getting a burger, the «Smoky Burger» is my favorite!
— Highly recommended! It’s not your average bar!

I have to agree with everyone who says this place is just like a real-​life Cheers. Allen (Alan?) the bartender is, simply put, AWESOME! Always friendly, hilarious, and fun!
As for drinks, I’m not much of a cocktail gal myself, but I’ve had a few Amaretto Sours there in my day and they were pretty delish. My poison when I drank there was just straight up vodka shots. I prefer flavored — blueberry, bubblegum, or whipped cream, chilled. They are EXTREMELY generous with the volume of their shots, so one shot is really equal to two or three. Score! I’ve had so many fun nights here drinking with friends and we didn’t have to break our bank to feel all warm and fuzzy.
The wait staff there is awesome! Very personable, chit chatty, and fun! I don’t live in Ohio anymore and can honestly say that I miss going here for the service alone.
As for the food, I can’t comment on very much of it, as I mostly went there to drink, but I CAN tell you that their Main Burger (I think it’s on the menu as «Larry’s Main Entrance Burger» or maybe just «Main Entrance Burger»?) is quite amazing. One of the best burgers in Akron, if not THE best.

The «Cheers» of Akron.
Super friendly staff.
Best cocktails in the city for the price.
Half price burger nights.
Flexible kitchen — catering to special needs.
Great place!

Larry’s has my favorite burgers! They’re huge, the meat is of very good quality, and they’re stuffed with toppings. The price includes a side of fries (and you can pick skinny or steak fries, score!) Pro tip: go on Mondays before 9, when all of the burgers are half off.
Beer selection is very basic and small, and they do mixed drinks, too. I’ve always gone here to eat, not just to drink. I love the small townie bar vibe of this place, though, so drinking there would be awesome.
I would have given five stars, but seating is a little tight. I wish they would move the table that sits directly in front of the door, because if the table is full, it’s not very easy to actually enter the restaurant. Park in the back lot and use the back door instead.

Cute little place right beside Ken Stewarts Grill!
Server was attentive and very friendly~! We only had apps but they were sumptuous!!!
Very attractive inside too!!!

Larry’s is a great place with a Cheers like atmosphere. The bar isn’t large by any means but in the summer has a great patio right on Market. The bar itself is a reminiscent of an irish pub with the dark woods.
Service: always been good, fast & friendly.
Food: The main burger is one of my favorites in Akron. I love that you can choose your fries too. My first trip I had the main burger and hashbrowns. They were the best hashbrowns i have ever had. Next trip, still good but too greasy. Since that trip was an 11:30PM snack, maybe it was so greasy because we were suppose to be drunk and it would taste good? Either way, good food.
Drinks: fair prices, around $ 4 – 5 for a mixed drinks.
Good place for hanging with friends, grabbing a bite to eat and drinking!
