My husband had been trying to get me to try Simons for the longest time and we finally went there on Friday night. I knew this would be no Ken Stewarts type fancy place, but it was the night before the Akron Marathon and my husband wanted carbs. They didnt dissappoint! I usually love the Waterloo restaurant in Akron for food like this, but Simons has alcohol. Its a Waterloo with alcohol. And that makes all the difference for me. They have Great Lakes Dortmunder on draft. We got the Matzo Ball soup and it was very good! I'm not a soup fan but the orange sized dumpling in the soup was excellent. I also got the Turkey Reuben and the Pumpkin Cheesecake. Could have been the best cheesecake I've ever had. If you aren't expecting a fine dining experience and want a place with good food and beer, this is the place to go! Our waitress was excellent and the decor was cute too.
