Eastside Lamp Post Restaurant

A classic American diner with the fastest and friendliest service in town.The Lamp Post is open 24/7 and offers all day breakfast. The theme is 50's. The booths remind you of sitting in a 57 Chevy. There are Elvis, Marilyn and many other stars from that era, idolized on the walls.The menu is classic American diner food. If you've never been before, you must order the He Man Breakfast Platter - it's a humongous breakfast sampler that will not disappoint!The Lamp Post is an eastside tradition.

Wow... Love this place! Hands down I'm coming back! The service was spot on! The food was exactly as presenting, filling and delicious!

This place was interesting to say the least. I just traveled all the way from Florida nonstop, and came to this place as soon as I arrived in Ohio. I was apprehensive about going in, because it was sketchy on the outside, and zero cars in the parking lot. Mind you, it was about 3am when I arrived. The workers were outside smoking pot and cigarettes and the server was also the cook so she was everywhere. She was very friendly and liked striking up conversations, but I was sooo tired from traveling I couldn't even think right at that point. Lol.All in all, it was an ok visit. The food was less than to be desired but I liked the server the most. She was pleasant. I ordered the Gyro salad which was definitely far from a true Gyro salad, and my pal ordered the Rueben sandwich and he said it was just ok. The side order of gravy seemed like it came from a can so it had a metallic taste to it. I don't think I'll be back, but it wasn't the worst I've ever had.

The food is great and the service is greater! We eat breakfast here a few days on every trip to Akron, and the food is always cooked perfectly to order (not always the case with eggs!), deliciously fresh, and served with just the right balance of friendliness and sarcasm. My dad is a regular with an unhealthy level of sarcasm, so you may not get any sarcasm, but he deserves it! Ha! Dad always gets the He-Man, which is a great value if you're hungry or sharing. We recently ate lunch there, and WOW! My burger and onion rings were top-tier delicious, my husband's gyro with extra meat was slapping, and Mom loved her fried fish, coleslaw, and stuffed pepper soup. 10/10 recommend!!

Great portions. Great price. Great flavor. What more could you ask for? 24/7 service is great. Able to seat yourself and a waitress will be by in no time. Food comes out quick. Be prepared for a wait though if it's busy. Not very big inside.

The foods so good wait staff does an awesome job. Need to branch out and try something different but the breakfast is so good

Stopped in while driving on 76/80 heading west. Quick on and off...worked well! Great diner...we had breakfast food...a cheese omelet with biscuit and a 'stuffed hash brown" (a layered delight of crispy hashbrown, scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon and more hashbrowns) each had a hot beverage...bill was under $34. Which may seem high for a diner, but we will likely not need anything to eat for the rest of the day...very generous servings. Servers were upbeat, knowledgeable and very pleasant. Restaurant has a retro vibe, very clean, including the restroom. Overall a win!

Retro vibes and good food await visitors to this local eating spot on the east side of Akron. First visit for us...kind of expected an older, more run-down look, but it's bright and fresh inside and the booths and seats are in really good condition. I ordered the wrap special for Friday which was Barbecue Chicken. It was delicious and came with a generous pile of crispy, skin-still-on, wide cut fries. The Italian sub and onion rings got high marks from my partner. Service was friendly. Definitely recommend eating here.

Old style diner where the food is good and the prices are decent. I usually leave here stuffed and don't to eat till much later.

We came in from out of state to visit family. One of them recommended the Lamp Post for breakfast. This was an excellent recommendation. Tasty breakfast, the biscuits and gravy were top notch, and the service was fantastic. We will be back!
