Ken Stewart's Grille

Loved the atmosphere. The food was very delicious and we had great service. Everyone was so nice and polite. Definitely recommend

Well - I looked at the Yelp Reviews and the full parking lot and decided to give it a go. Unfortunately for me - it was pretty much a "no" experience. The atmosphere was nice, the waiter was pleasant, friendly and helpful. The meal was meh. The bread was very good. The salad was fine. Once we got the main course and side dish - things weren't to my liking. The restaurant - so they must be good at several (other?) things or it's just my southern preferences vs. a relatively bland and unexpected preparation of my main dish and side dish. Arguably, we southerners cook and eat differently. But, if you put creamed spinach on the menu - by all means - have some cream in it! My spinach had a nice crusty topping that had some Parmesan on it, but the spinach itself had very little cream (or if it was there - it was a thin, runny and tasteless cream. It was more like hot water spinach with a crusted topping. The illed scallops were hot with good flavor, but the accompanying flavors in the dish didn't do it for me. The risotto was good - but the other flavors didn't compliment the scallops in a way which worked for me.Perhaps it was just my preference - but the parking lot won't be full with the inclusion of my car next trip to Akron. Perhaps the specialty is steak and I should have purchased a filet. Even if I had - my favorite steak pairing of creamed spinach would have probably felt more disastrous to me paired with an excellent filet. It sounds so awful to say this - but you really can't beat the chain of Ruth's Chris. Consistent. Excellent. Outstanding in every way. Over and over again - no matter where I've dined or what my meal choice has been (steak, seafood, etc). This place wasn't for me - but the decor was nice and ambience was clean and comfortable and the waiter was a nice guy. That's why they earned a 3 from me.

Went here for our employee Christmas dinner and everything from the service to the food to the ambiance was top notch. Ken himself came out to speak to us and he is just fantastic! I had the potato crusted halibut over a creamed corn and it was cooked to perfection! Highly recommend! Although I did not have it, several people got the wedge salad and it looked phenomenal, you can sub it for your side salad for an up charge I will be doing this next time!

Excellent restaurant for an upscale dining experience! The service was amazing. Absolutely loved the lamb chops from Colorado. Delicious! Perfectly prepared! I also highly recommend the Whispering Angels rose wine. It went well with the entree I ordered. When you cone here to eat, be sure to inquire about the specials. My spouse ordered the sea bass and it was delicious too. Perfectly prepared! If you like raw oysters, this is a go to place for them. Table side Caesar is also a must. You need to come here and experience what this restaurant has to offer. It's worth it!

I had the greatest meal of my life with my A5 Japanese Wagyu Steak, additionally our service was outstanding. Mr. Matt took excellent care of our party. We were all astonished by his ability to list off the numerous specials without hesitation. In every aspect, Ken Stewart's delivered a dining experience that transcended the ordinary, making it a premier destination for steak lovers and gourmands alike. It's a place where every single aspect of our meal will now and forever be a cherished memory. I eagerly anticipate our next!

I absolutely love this place. This is the original one in Akron. The service is always great. The food is absolutely amazing. It is a laid-back atmosphere, especially in the bar area. I highly recommend this to anybody! i've been coming here since the early 2000s and it has never disappointed

Ken Stewart's is my Canton/Akron go do when I need a great meal without risk of disappointment. So many great options both for apps and main dish. And must get the French Onion Soup and Table side CaesarI eat out a lot and this is my fave !

There is something seriously old school about this location vs the other KS ones. I'm not from Akron, though I've lived here a while now. It's a home grown classic restaurant that hasn't rested on its laurels. Amazing experience - sit in the room with the bar. Watch the people, sip on a nice glass of wine, listen to the conversations at the bar below you. It's timeless.Nowhere I'd rather be having a seasonal lunch between the holidays.

Ken Stewart's never lets you down. From exceptional service to outstanding food it is no surprise that this ranks consistently as one of the top restaurants in the area. If you like a great cocktail be sure to see Larry at the bar. He crafts great drinks with an amazing attitude and level of service and always greets returning guests by name. If you have never been, it is worth every penny!

I am always happy with the service and meal selection. However, forcing people to valet park is inconsiderate. By law, it is not mandatory and should not be forced on customers. The option of self-parking should ALWAYS be offered.
