| - I have been wanting to visit here since we noticed the place being constructed, but it's been quite awhile since we have been to Akron. Before New Year's, my husband and two friends of ours came here on my demand since it was something I wanted to try.
At 7pm on a Friday (I think) night the place was crowded and we had about a 20 minute wait. There is no real waiting area, and as it was raining, we were cramped by the door. When a party of 7 came in to be seated, there was just no room at all, and we were fortunately seated after that.
The place is pretty neat inside - I, unlike other reviewers, liked the close space, dark style, and large chandeliers. I loved the lights hanging down from the bar and though it did a pretty good job theming itself like a dimly lit butchers room. I didn't sit at the bar, but we had a 4 person high top table in between the bar and the booths. It was a bit cramped for all of us and if our 4th person had actually gotten food, I'm quite sure it wouldn't have fit on the table.
Drinks are a bit over priced here, but they have a good selection. My husband ended up with a La Chouffe and I with a razzmatini or something along the lines of a raspberry martini. My martini was so-so - nothing memorable - but the only memorable drink for both us and the people working in the restaurant it seemed was my friends candy cane milk shake with two shots of crown royal black whiskey. A few guy came over to ask him about his strange (though AMAZINGLY delicious) concoction.
I ordered the 7th Heaven burger. The truffle butter, red onion jam, and bacon were all downright amazing, but I was a bit annoyed that my burger came out at about room temperature and tasted like it had been sitting awhile. So sad with such delicious toppings. I felt also like there wasn't enough and that the large burger patty didn't have the right ratio to the small amount of toppings (everyone else thought the same about their burger). I only ate 2/3rds of the patty because of this, and it was just a fairly large patty. The meat was good quality, but nothing special in terms of seasoning or taste. It just wasn't my kind of thing - not bad, mind you - just nothing to rave about.
My husband's Twinsburger had barely any cheese, and then we found a small ball about the size of a dime off the side of the burger - somehow all the cheese kind of...rolled off? Very strange. But the tobacco onions were amazing and the downright best thing about the burger.
We ordered onion rings which were the stars of the meal - beer battered and cooked to perfection. Those were quite good.
Overall, this place is okay, but it's not the place I'd be running back to when I visit Akron. I stick with some of the other places around.
