Dietz's Landing

Ok for the boat dock, and decent eats. Certainly not going to win a James Beard culinary award anytime soon, but for a restaurant/bar on the Portage lakes this is a-Ok.The scene was, well, interesting; at lunch our table was the only ones that were under-70 years old. The place was half full/half empty. There's a giant mirrored wall to give a larger than life feel to the place.They're good for take away for the maritime customers, typical greasy bar menu.Restrooms were clean, parking spots were tight. Next door there's a pontoon boat rental.Great place for people watching on the Portage Lakes, a little slice of Redneck Riviera just south of downtown Akron.

I stopped in here with some friends and family on a random Tuesday night. Our bartender (I don't remember her name!) was absolutely fabulous...friendly, but not overbearing, and very attentive. We never had an empty glass in front of us!A little downfall is that $1 beers does not last all night. I think this is a statewide thing and not something with this particular bar...but it did suck!Great experience, we'll be going back!

Probably the worst restaurant I've ever been to. Horrible food, horrible service. Don't waste your time or money.

I wish I had the ability to give this place 0 stars. The food was terrible and the service was just as bad if not worse. I can not wait to never come back!

Worse meal of life! Ordered the fried shrimp and fries. Shrimp was burnt popcorn variety ( expected Fan tail for $12) and on requesting cocktail sauce was told they don't have. Who eats breaded shrimp without cocktail sauce? Cole slaw tasted like s*** as well. Then had to request a fork for slaw. Never eat there again. Shithole with a nice view.No, I am not the other Nate M below. What a weird coincidence , including our opinion of this slop hole.

Dietz's Landing has been around the block...several times...a true Portage Lakes institution, it's a fun place where you can sit back and chill with a beer, right on their dock.Now...you're likely to run into hooknasties and hambones...don't let them bother you. Because then you'll miss out on the charm of watching people ride up in their boats for a burger and Bud. Yep, you read that right. You can drive or sail in!I think it's best to keep it simple...order the burger...although, I enjoyed my steak sandwich, which wasn't chopped...the cuts of steak were whole! They had sweet potato fries. Yeah, I guess you can get some wine here. They won't look at you funny.The waitress had some trouble getting our orders right and forgot a few things. But, because we're not assholes, it didn't bother us that much.Sure you can run into hambones (there was a guy who docked, took his shirt off, and sat there for an hour before sailing back off)...but we also ran into friends of my aunt, whom were a big part of my childhood and I hadn't seen in 25 years. Being back in Ohio is fun.Yeah...the four stars might be a bit generous. If you're looking for a great culinary experience, just pass this place on by. Their salads have iceberg.But the beers are cold and the burgs are great. And who's not up for the occasional "sitting on a cool lake and chilling with friends" evening?The answer? No one.

The Sunday brunch is to die for. Amazing omlets.Starting at lunchtime, the prices quadruple and I'm left feeling as though its quite a bit overpriced. 11 dollars for six "jumbo" fried shrimp that came from planet Sysco is unacceptable, even though the spicy dipping chili sauce that comes with it is made in heaven. Lunch and dinner food is unremarkable, good, if it weren't overpriced. If there are mediocre waitresses here, I haven't met them. There are 3 excellent ones and 2 of the dumbest bimbos I've ever seen.

Stopped here for dinner..sat for an hour..server came over and said they lost ticket. We did get our very overcooked mozzarella moons that had no mozzarella in them. When spoke to mgr. The mgr said "ohh" shurgged her shoulders and walked away. Id recommed eating ANYWHERE else on portage lakes than here. I now see why other places on plx are booming and this place is not.

Ok so the food truly isn't bad. Service is absolutely HORRIBLE. I don't understand how you run a business on the portage lakes, in the summer, and have such a miserable staff. Such a sad waste of awesome space. If you don't care that you are there for 3 hours for a beer and a salad enjoy. If not you're screwed. Dietz management wtf is wrong with you.

The service was the worst I have ever had. I was there for 2 hours and was waiting for my food for most if it. The drinks were nothing special but the food was good but not worth the wait. Will never be going back. I'll wait for a seat at On tap at the harbor next time!!
