Good Company (Akron)

Great food. Music was a bit too loud. Sometimes couldn't hear each other or the waiter. Speaking of waiter - he took our order and disappeared. Then forgot to put in our drink order. Nice host who seated us got the drinks together. The young lady was taking food to all the tables finished helping us. We asked what happened to our waiter and she was like oh he left. Random but ok. Fran left us hanging and didn't even say bye. Lol. Ok. Food was good, special shout out to the French onion dip and pickled celery. I'd like to buy a jar of both. Addictive.

Gluten & vegan WARNING. The menu has a few things listed as gluten-free and even more listed as vegan. But when we tried to order The gluten-free steak and eggs they told us no the potatoes are not gluten-free because they go in a shared fryer. So we tried gluten-free bacon and eggs, they said that's not gluten-free either because it's also in the shared fryer. Then we tried the vegan smashburger Patty and they said that also goes in the fryer. So essentially all gluten-free and vegan food shares the same fryer with bread and meat. I don't have any allergies, I had the chicken wings and they were really good. So is the fried celery root and the chicken skins. But unfortunately one person couldn't eat anything and had to just watch.

I got the Gaba egg and cheese sandwich and tai chilli and sweet and spicy dry rub wings. Let me tell you… A1 all around! Service was lovely I was served by Shevy and spoke to Fran and they were great! They convinced I wanted to order everything off the menu honestly. Come here for the experience and the food! Just all around chefs kiss for this whole place! Love it for my first time coming here.

Great spot. Incredible wings lots of flavor and cooked perfectly, though a bit on the pricey side esp with blue cheese costing extra. The burger was fantastic. Only complaint is I wish the pickles on the side as they were a little overpowering even though they were real good. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Excellent food. Everything is house made. There is nothing bad on the menu. The Good One is the best burger in town. Don't skip out on brunch on Sundays it is very good, with a variety of options. Service is fast, and they are exceptionally friendly. Also, run out and get the Thursday night special. The chicken roulade is exceptional 10/10 one of the best meals in town

TWO WORDS: THE WINGS. Usually when someone claims to have ‘the best wings’ I’m like ‘ok, doubtful’ but these might be some of the best in NE Ohio. Ironically, I didn’t take a pic of them, but that’s just bc they were so good that I devoured them immediately while burning my fingers, lips and the roof of my mouth, a worthwhile pain! Get the ranch too… it’s the good, thin wet kind that I die over! Also tried the burger, which was like a fancy Big Mac. The bun was best part, could have been sauced up a bit more and the fries were ok, kinda wish they were a little more ‘special’ to besuit such a glorious looking burger. Cocktails were great and the ambiance here vs the Cleveland location felt more curated and old school, which I loved. Would def be back…. Dreaming of those wings! 🍗

Here’s your expanded review with 200+ characters: This place is great! The food was amazing, and our server was very nice—attentive but not overbearing, with great menu suggestions. I ordered the diner melt, which was very good. Be sure to get the pretzel! The restaurant is in an old firehouse—see if you can spot the evidence while you're there. The only letdown was the chocolate chip cookie dessert, which was more like Chips Ahoy than fresh-baked. That was my fault for assuming, but it was still a bit disappointing. Despite that, Good Company still gets 5 stars!

Ordered take out on a Saturday night. Ordered 2 vegan Oliver's and the bonzo balls. The "burgers" are very thin. They had a good flavor to them though. The bun was thick so it seemed dry. They went very light on the mayo. If I ordered again, I would ask for extra mayo. The fries were TERRIBLE. The bonzo's were good flavor wise but very soft on the inside. The 2 burgers and fries and bonzo's were $51. Took a while to get our order. We were told at least twice, "10 more minutes" by 2 different people. Overall, worth a stop.

Great food and drinks just West of the heart of downtown Akron! Good variety on the food menu, including vegetarian/vegan options. I got the Vegan Oliver- a vegan smash burger - with a side of dill pickled potato salad. It was delicious! Also got the Blood Orange Old Fashioned which was really good too! My friend had the full size Kale Caesar Salad with chicken. We also had the Guinness Onion Dip--a must try if you visit! The service was fantastic! We went on a Monday evening. It was steady business with both take out orders and in house diners. Everything came out quickly and at the right temperature. The server was very attentive! The restaurant has a cool and casual vibe. There was a lot of diversity in terms of the clientele so the vibe appeals to a lot of people! The parking lot (on the left side of the restaurant) is on the small side, so carpool if you have a group. There is a small patio too! Highly recommend!

Amazing food! Quality, delicious and a must stop. Wings were incredible - Buffalo has a bite! But the Good Burger should be named Great Burger. The bun. The sauce. The onions. It's just that good. Did I mention the craft cocktails? The Smokey and spicy margaritas? Their yummy list is great! Blood orange old fashioned? Don't mind if I do..... Make sure to stop. The worst thing about this place is the parking...

Small Spot, Big Bites - Good Company in Akron is a Flavor Powerhouse Tucked away in Akron, Ohio, there's a little place making some big flavor noise--Good Company. Don't let the cozy, modern space fool you--this isn't your average neighborhood restaurant. It's a bold, flavor-forward experience served up in an unpretentious atmosphere that feels like your favorite hoodie: familiar, comfortable, and unexpectedly stylish. We stopped in with hungry appetites and open minds, and Good Company delivered with a menu that hits hard right out of the gate. Fried Chicken Skins - A Crispy Revelation Yes, you read that right. Not chicken. Chicken skins. These golden, crispy bites are the culinary equivalent of finding hidden treasure--salty, savory, perfectly seasoned crunch with just enough chew to remind you it's real. Think pork rinds leveled up by a chef with street smarts and a Southern soul. One bite in and we knew: this place doesn't play it safe, and we're here for it. Bourbon Molasses Wings - Sweet, Smoky, Sticky Perfection Wings are a crowded game, but Good Company has found a way to stand out. Their bourbon molasses wings come lacquered in a sweet-and-smoky glaze that clings to each wing like a slow dance partner--seductive, a little messy, and totally worth it. The bourbon brings a warm depth, while the molasses adds that signature stick-to-your-lips richness. Napkins are essential. Regrets are nonexistent. The Good One Burger - A Patty Worth Praising Aptly named, The Good One burger doesn't try to reinvent the wheel--it just makes it roll smoother and taste better. Juicy, perfectly cooked beef piled with the right combo of melty cheese, crisp pickles, fresh lettuce, and a house sauce that whispers sweet nothings to your tastebuds. It's the kind of burger that makes you pause mid-bite and say, "Damn, that's good." (Spoiler: we did.) Small Place, Big Personality Good Company isn't flashy. It's not trying to be the "it" place in Akron. It's just confidently doing its own thing--and doing it very well. The vibe is chill, the staff is friendly without being fake, and the food speaks louder than any Instagram filter ever could. This isn't just a restaurant--it's a reminder that flavor, creativity, and a little culinary courage can turn a small joint into a must-visit destination. So if you find yourself in Akron with a craving for something crave-worthy, do yourself a favor: pull up a seat at Good Company. And come hungry--this little spot plays with big flavors and doesn't hold back. Take the Trip Tip: Go with friends, order a little bit of everything, and don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. Good food tastes better in good company... and at Good Company.

This place was so yummy, but a few things made it less than perfect. I've decided to round up my rating anyway. I'm not a huge burger person, but their burger was delicious! Except it did taste mostly of pickles. I like pickles, but It didn't leave room for the flavor of the patties or cheese. And the fries seemed old? Overcooked? A lot looked saturated with oil, but they were still crispy. So I'm not sure what was going on there. I didn't get to snag a picture of the wings, they were amazing! Great flavor throughout. We got the Thai chili wings. While the flavor was great, there wasn't really any spice to them. Which I thought was weird considering how spicy Thai chili's are. The milkshake was absolutely delicious and I finished the whole thing! Our server was very kind, and the atmosphere in this place is great. It's so laidback. And they had nice single-person restrooms. All in all, it was a nice weekday dinner. Overall rating: 4.5/5 stars

Really like this place because it's appropriate for multiple occasions: casual outing, dates, girls night, party night out, peaceful dinner outside in the patio, solo dates, live music vibes, etc. I've had their wings several times and they never disappoint. The Vegan Oliver, however, was a letdown I'm not sure what the jerky bacon slices were made of but it was very bland. Not a very flavorful sandwich. Either way, our waiter was very kind and we had a great time regardless.

My husband and I dined here with another couple recently and overall were very impressed! I'd rate this place higher, however, a few of the dishes/drinks were mediocre while other items on the menu shined. These were hands down the best wings we've had!!! My husband and friends loved the sweet and spicy wings while I was obsessed over the pecorino garlic wings. They marinate, braise and then fry these babies up! My husband's burger was pretty good overall and it's definitely an item we'd order again. I loved my taco chop salad as it was filled with flavor! My friend and I split dessert and were very impressed with the flavor and creaminess of it! Our friends however were underwhelmed with their orders of steak and the chicken sandwich. We all also agreed that are cocktails and shakes weren't all that good. We didn't like the combo of flavors on the shakes. The atmosphere here is cool and laid back. They also have live music on Tuesdays which was a lot of fun! Another perk is that there's an outdoor patio. Regarding service, our server was very friendly and attentive.

I love a good restaurant with a cute interior! The inside is such a vibe. We sat outside on the patio & I don't think I can say enough amazing things about our server Jeff. He was attentive in all the right ways & even comped our panna cotta just because he was so freaking nice. If you stop by you HAVE to order the chicken wings. My mom doesn't like chicken wings at all and when I tell you we were speechless! Just go visit if you haven't already because you're really missing out

Food was ok, fries were fantastic, but the service was subpar. Maybe she had a bad night. Did not pay attention to our table. One and done at this location. We do like the Cleveland location.

AMBIANCE We walked in on a weekend evening to grab a bite. We were lucky to snag parking in the back and walked right into a cutely decorated space with a bar and high top on the left, a huge round cozy booth by the door, and a couple tables in the dining room space. While the music was audible, it wasn't as incredibly loud as we expected, which was a relief. Definitely not the quietest spot (for us tired folks at the time of day) but had a good buzz that most people would like for weekend spot. SERVICE Once we entered, we were quickly seated and provided ice waters with straws. Our waitress was quick to the table to ask if we had questions and after scanning, we quickly put in our orders. We chose the soft pretzel, the Good One burger, and a steak supper. While we waited, our waitress was attentive in managing our table and filling our glasses. FOOD Our soft pretzel arrived around 5-10 minutes later in a braided form and large sea salt crystals! It was served in a basket with piped brown sugar cream cheese and cheese sauce. The pretzel was soft and the cheese sauce was too gooey and unnatural for us but the brown sugar cream cheese was a must!!! Made this taste much more like dessert than a savory appetizer so we saved part of it for dessert! Our burger and steak supper arrived another 10 minutes later and both were well plated and well-prepared. While the burger was quite messy to eat given the size of the plate, it was tasty and we were glad for extra napkins. The fries were appropriately crispy yet pillowy and not too salty. We enjoyed the steak supper which was prepared medium rare as asked and was good enough without the sauce and tender and well seasoned. The rosemary garlic fries were also done well... nice and crisp and not too oily. I was surprised by the large garlic cloves in my fries, but still delicious and cleaned my plate! Of course, we had leftover pretzels so we ate the rest as dessert... pulling it apart and scraping some brown sugar cream cheese on it and it was just perfect! Exactly hit the sweet and salty spot and the need for warm carbs!

Amazing first experience at Good Company Akron! I've been wanting to try this place ever since hearing rave reviews about their wings. We tried the sweet and spicy bbq dry rub wings. They had just the right touch of heat and the meat fell right off the bone. For our entrees we had the Gabagool and cheesesteak sandwiches. The poppyseed hoagie bun was so soft. They say you get a half portion of fries but it was a whopping portion. The fries were flavored really well and were perfectly crispy. We had to try the Panna Cotta dessert per our server's request. If you like coffee get this! This place is awesome and we can't wait to go back. We didn't get our server's name but he was prompt and efficient and gave awesome recommendations.

You know, when you've had a long day at PorchRokr and you just wanna stop and grab dinner somewhere and you walk into Good Company and just say "yes" this is the place!

The route 1 chicken sandwich was amazing! Absolutely delicious with perfect balance of toppings, and the fries that accompanied it were done well too. Servers were super kind and quick despite the full house. Went for Tuesday jazz nights, every week from 7-9pm.

The atmosphere and food was delicious! We can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu! We enjoyed Pericino Garlic wings, Kale Caesar and Steak Dinner. No cocktails tonight! But for sure next time

I was excited to try this place out, as they have a solid menu with interesting choices and several veg options. The decor is great inside, and they have outdoor seating as well for when the weather is cooperative. We ordered the tabbouleh and hummus canapes as a starter and they were fantastic! It was a pretty small dish though...seemed like more of a single serving than a shareable appetizer. My sister ordered the taco chop salad and I had the winter grain salad. Both were good - I especially enjoyed the pepitas and the maple sage vinaigrette. The service was very friendly as well. Thank you, Good Company!

Omgggg! Yall I am gagggedddd. This place was utterly amazing ! The service ! Thank you so much to our bartender Sophia! The drinks! If you are Akron please give this a try ! I had a seasonal cocktail apple cider margarita. My husband had orange ginger old fashion . We both loved the cocktails. Perfectly crafted with amazing flavor profiles. I order the 72 hr wings. Marinated for 48 hours then slowly braised and deep fried . Cool ranch flavor. They had a ton of dry rubs . We had rosemary and garlic fries . Everything made fresh to order . My husband ate the steak super with chimichurri , garlic butter , corn ribs and fries. Ambiance was very modern and hip. Also they had a special single barrel continental breakfast old forester. It was 129 proof and worth the one ounce pour . Can't wait to go back . Total bill was $98 before gratuity for steak supper, wings and fries and 4 cocktails so not bad.

Nice location with live music on Tuesday nights. Good smash burgers. Our salads were not to our liking, too many pickled vegetables. Full selection of local beers on tap. Street parking only. In cold weather the temperature drops every time the front door opens. Be prepared.

So I've wanted to try this place for quite a while now, and I'll be honest, I missed the boat big time by waiting as long as I did. We had a group of 8, including 2 babies, and you just never know how that's going to go. I have to say, this exceeded our expectations by quite a bit! We ordered the chicken skins for the table. Think a savory, chewy, pork rind-y thing with house made Ranch dressing. Overall, a big hit for everyone. But, for me, I honestly liked the pickled celery that came with it even more than the skins themselves. Briny, crunchy, certainly a pallet cleanser from the fried skins. Never had pickled celery before, but dang was it good! Now, out of 5 adults, three of us ordered the Good One, which is a smashed patty double cheeseburger with American cheese, grilled onion, shredded lettuce, house made pickle and company sauce. I'll be honest, I usually don't love pickles on my burger, though I like pickles, I think they take over the taste... too many years of subpar, mass made fast food pickles. And I thought that the burger may have too much going on, as a lot of places do with their signature burger, but I like to give places a chance to prove me right, so I got the burger just as it came. Freakin delightful! The burger taste stood out, you got some crunch from the lettuce and pickles, the cheese was perfectly melted, and I'm not sure what exactly was in the company sauce, but it was delicious! And yes, even the pickles added the right amount of acid and crunch, but didn't overpower anything. I was actually happy, my wife ordered the chicken sandwich and got her pickles on the side, so I was able to dive into them a bit more, and they are awesome! I never have pickled anything with malt vinegar, but I'm gonna have to steal that from now one! I had a bite of the chicken too, pretty great! The bun stood out as well, soft and squishy, poppy seed topped delight, and contrasted the crunchy, flavorful and moist chicken perfectly. Ok, just a few more quick notes. One person got the steak dinner with chimichurri and really liked it. It was served with corn ribs and fries, and he really liked everything. My 6 year old ordered a grilled cheese and said it was "Amazing". He neglected to share it with me, and he was on the other side of the table, so I don't know much else about it. But it looked good! I know this review is long, and I'm sorry, but I can't go without talking about the staff. I didn't catch the name of our waitress, but she was amazing! She was super attentive without interrupting, which is a hard thing to pull off. She was also amazing with all the kids, interacting with them, being super sweet even when one of the babies kept trying to grab her pen. For the little ones, we only ordered applesauce, we weren't sure there was much else to eat. I have never seen this before, but the kitchen served it in ready to go pouches. So much easier for feeding them. It is genius, and super nice and considerate. Amazing! Yeah, don't be like me and wait. Don't walk, but run to Good Company Akron!

The food was quite good, the service was fairly good though we ended up sitting for a while toward the end waiting for refills that never happened; but it was really the noise level that turned us off. The music was just too loud. It's more of a bar atmosphere rather than a corner pub-ish feel. But the food was definitely good.

My wife and I ate here about a week ago and the food was delicious. Some of the best wings I've ever had; we got the bourbon apricot bbq one and they were amazing. We also got the Good One burger and the chicken sandwich. I usually don't get mayo or pickles on my burgers, but both were delicious. We split the burger and chicken sandwich and I couldn't decide which was better. Our server (don't remember his name) was fantastic. We loved the high ceiling and the openness of the restaurant. We liked it so much we're going back again with friends. Looking forward to trying other wing sauces.

Excellent food! I had the chicken sandwich with the hot dry rub and it was one of the JUICIEST chicken sandwiches I've ever had! The servers were friendly and the atmosphere was great - felt very Akron (complimentary!).

The food was wonderful. I had been craving a good burger and Good Company provided with their diner melt. I'd give it a solid 8.5/10. I had thought the location of the place was kind of random feeling but it's a nice vibe and they have a patio. Busy place and well deserved.

M- unassuming but thats the way I like it ! The food was prepared well many memorable offerings. The atmosphere was a setback to a 1970 coffeehouse vibe. All that was missing was fringe jackets and platform shoes. Parking can be challenging but it keeps the BMW people away. The service is polite but not speedy come to stay awhile.

The food and service here are outstanding. I've eaten here three times, once with friends and I have dined at the bar twice. Service is prompt and attentive. The chicken wings and chicken skins are delicious but the Gabagool sandwich with smash patties is a game changer! If you're a fan of Mr. Hero's Roman Burger, you will never be the same! It's absolutely amazing!! I had my first one on Friday... it's Sunday and I'm back! Don't forget to ask for raw onion slices.... Cheers!

We tried Good Company for the first time yesterday, and we had a really nice experience. We tried the Thai chili wings, diner melt, and chicken sandwich. I'd say the wings are a must-try regardless of which flavor you choose, because the meat falls off the bone. The diner melt was great, meat cooked perfectly with melty cheese and onions. I'd say the chicken sandwich was average but still good. It was definitely busy when we were there, and the service was a bit slow. The good news is that everyone on staff seemed to be hustling, which is good to see when things seem to be taking awhile. We'd definitely come back and try some other menu options.

Recently went for dinner at Good Company Akron and we really enjoyed! Super delicious 72-hour wings; thai chili, pecorino garlic, and house blended buffalo are my favorites (with their blue cheese). John's loaded chili cheese fry, steak supper, horchata milkshake, and the Vietnamese coffee panna cotta are all items we'd order again. Nice selection of drinks at the bar. Unique building and interior decor... service is on point - thank you for a positive dining experience. Looking forward to returning!

Good Company is a relatively new restaurant in an old building in Akron that we checked out for the first time on a recent Sunday. They offer a special brunch menu along with their regular menu, and we opted for the Biscuits and Gravy and the Gaba Egg and Cheese Sandwich. The sandwich was delicious. My partner loved the biscuits which were topped with an egg and smothered in a bold-flavored gravy. The sandwich was served with a peppercorn sauce and some very salty and crispy fries that were on the greasy side and kind of a heavy option for brunch; a sweeter sauce and a lighter side such as fruit or salad would go better with the sandwich. I especially loved the decor and the lighting - a mix of modern fixtures, chandeliers, and Moroccan style pendants - highlighting a beautiful collection of mirrors and artwork in the high-ceilinged space. The dinner menu looks interesting and they offer a selection of cocktails and ice cream drinks, lots more items to try out on our next visit. Service was friendly and very attentive.

I'm not often rendered speechless, but tonight was one of those times. I had one of the best meals of my life. Such a chill vibe and relaxed feel. The 72 hour wings we so soft and crispy all at the same time. Homemade sauces & dry rubs. Brown butter cream cheese for the pretzel, I almost cried it was so good. Homemade braided pretzel. My cocktail was like a warm tequila breeze. Perfection. Diner melt was like souped up French onion soup sandwich. Steak dinner melted in my mouth and cooked perfectly. Coffee Panna cotta with coffee strudel. I had goosebumps the whole meal!!! Service was top notch too.

Absolutely amazing! Very well done that was a really good burger. I also enjoyed that you had a cheap beer on tap choice.

Amazing burgers and fries. Also tried the wings, which were delicious. Service was kinda slow but not terrible.

Burgers were okay and French fries were great. Service was super and that is always a plus.

Just moved back to hometown of Akron and had dinner here this weekend... and it was crazy delicious! Every single thing. Wonderful cocktail, one of the most delicious salads I've ever had, a hot pretzel appetizer with homemade schmears, chicken wings, and panna cotta I will dream about until I return. Plus, the nicest server! Cozy + fun vibe. Thank you!

Very crowded, good service and food nonetheless. Parking a challenge, too. But with the effort!

Love this place! Great drinks, the best wings in Akron. A great restaurant in an old firehouse. Definitely will be back!

those were the best wings i've ever had! server was super nice, and we loved the live music.

This place just got redone and reopened in akron ohio! It is beautiful inside, such a nice relaxing vibe inside! We stopped in for our friends 23rd birthday! We had a group of 6 and we were worried since they do not accept reservations, but they made accommodations and got us quickly seated! We got to sit where we could see the chefs cooking and the bar tenders making drinks. We enjoyed every single thing we ate here! We got the pretzels and loaded fries for appetizers! 3 of us got the The good one burger and left ZERO crumbs! I got the wings and they were so tasty! The flavor was amazing! I have been dreaming and craving them since! The drinks were also tasty!

Needed to be out in an hour due to a commitment. Server had us in and out in 45 min with good service and great wings. ( some of the best ever). Nice ambiance Overall a very good experience.

This food is legit. I got the buffalo wings and the good burger and they were both really really good. The vibes are very fun and fresh on the inside. It's like sports bar food with a more fun vibe.

Such a fun ambiance and the food is great. Highly recommend the wings and the pretzel.

The food was delicious. The service was good for what seems to be a small staff. And the vibe was eclectic swank. Decent beer selection. Loved the wings! Watermelon ceviche was super yum!

Food was amazing and service A+. The setting was so laid back with a relaxed ambiance. Visiting from out of town and will definitely be back!

We just walked in one night for drinks. It was quiet at the time and we were not expecting much but we got so much more. This is a very cute vibe! We sat at the bar and the service was friendly and thorough. It was like meeting a long lost friend. There was another patron at the bar too. She could not stop raving about their food and specifically about their fried chicken skins. She convinced us to get our own and we had no regrets. Our to-go order was delicious and we look forward to visiting again.

Get the wings! They are worth every penny. If you don't get them don't try them after. The other food is good but doesn't compare.

The restaurant has a cool vibe and staff were very nice and attentive, but it's loud if eating inside. We ordered the buffalo wings, and dinner melt which were both extremely salty, the wings were so salty I couldn't finish them. The pretzel app was good and the honey butter is delicious!

Great food, cool place, decent prices. I got the dry rub wings which I never get and they were fall off the bone. Everything was good. Fried chicken sandwich was really good. Taco salad was just okay.

The Chicken Wings are out of this world. Quite possibly the best wings I've ever had. They are "72-hour wings," which accounts for their rich savory flavor and fall off the bone ease to eat. The house made pickled banana peppers and celery are delicious too. The fried chicken skins are akin to pork rinds and are pretty fatty and greasy. I probably wouldn't order them again. But to each his own. Drinks are pricey, but they are everywhere. We sat at the bar and I can tell you the bartenders cared about their craft. I'd go back, to gorge on the wings again. Lol. Wish they came in an order more than 6!

Poor customer service! Especially when opening a new restaurant. They need to step up there game!

Great atmosphere, inventive drinks and delicious food! Will be back and definitely recommend it.

We've been here twice since they opened. The food has been good and the service excellent. Both the burger and gabagool sandwiches were well prepared. The drink menu is also very good. It's reasonably priced as well.

People are hyping this place up for no reason lol. Food and drinks were both incredibly mediocre (ESPECIALLY for the price). Location and parking sucks (also for the price, funny it's in a bad area). Very loud, more of a bar atmosphere and vibe.. not ideal for dining or family dinners. Yet they only have a small bar and a few cocktails on menu? So I don't necessarily think that a bar is what they are aspiring to be moreso than a restaurant? Confusing. Maybe they only want young people but I don't think the young people could afford their prices ha
