Ryes and Shine

Stopped on for an early lunch today. The Monte Cristo was delicious! Molly, our server was fantastic AND we had the opportunity to meet the owner Laura and well known critically acclaimed local artist Robert Putka!!! We have eaten at R&S many times and it is consistently excellent. Looking for a good place to eat and socialize with friends? Do yourself and your friends a favor and give Rhys and Shine a try. Oh -- check out the original Putka. They say there might be a critter hiding in it somewhere but I could not find it ... and the artist would not tell me where. Enjoy, we did!!

Came here again on St. Patricks' Day because we were craving reubens. Unfortunately, we were informed they were out of rye, so we said sourdough would be fine. Then, we learned corned beef had sold out as well, and they were running low on fries. For some, this might be the basis for a one-star review, but my husband and I truly weren't bothered because our server told us immediately. We were enjoying the atmosphere and still wanted to eat here in lieu of searching for reubens elsewhere. (And as a side note, the fact that had run of things because of the previous day's bar crawl actually made me happy because that means they must have done good business, and I want to see Ryes N Shine be successful)Even though we were unfazed, the manager comped our dinners, which was truly unnecessary but very appreciated. I ordered the meatloaf sandwich and my husband had the fish and chips. Both were delicious. My husband said the hush puppies were the best he's ever had, and they reminded me of the ones I grew up eating at seafood places in New Orleans. For drinks we had the special "Irish breakfast" shots and a couple of Guinnesses. As I commented in my first review, I really like the bar area, in particular. It was nice and dark but not grungy. I'm obsessed with the bathroom tiles. I don't know what the old Silver Swan looked like, but they clearly renovated it to keep the old school vibes intact, and it has a real "neighborhood" feel (which is great for us since we live 1 minute away). PS-I don't know why someone voted "oh no!" on the picture from our last visit. Is it the most "aesthetic" picture of a burger? No. But it was damn good, so stop being weird.

Love to see the old Silver Swan turned into a cute and respectable diner -- a nice little brunch spot for catching up with friends or recovering from last night's hangover (or both). The food is solid, not necessarily anything to write home about, but it's better than your average diner, with friendly service and a nice, clean, larger-than-expected space. Good use of this old dive bar for a newly trendy Cuyahoga Falls.

A breakfast place that has a number of vegan options! The food was pretty good. Plus can't go wrong with coffee with free refills. Our server was very responsive. Overall a good spot for breakfast.

Ryes and Shine is a surprise gem of a restaurant that my wife and I enjoy for a great, hearty breakfast in a charming atmosphere. The wait staff have been cheery and attentive each time we've gone. My coffee mug is always hot and full and we have never felt ignored or forgotten.Two things stand out for me as far as breakfast goes: portion size and their coffee. I like to have a large meal to get my day going, and the Silver Swan is my go-to dish when I want something filling and traditional. There are ample portions of bacon and their Ryes potatoes; sometimes I have to get a carry-out container to take the rest home for later.The first time I had their coffee, I was surprised at how smooth it was. Our server told us it was locally sourced from Akron Coffee Roasters, which was so great because we strongly believe in supporting local businesses.My wife loves the Bananas Fosters French Toast and friends of ours have said many other items on the menu are also quite yummy.Love this place and can't wait to go back!

This hole-in-the-wall is a real treat. Cozy open dining area with friendly helpful staff. The noise level when full is a happy brook or stream level of friendly chatter. The Biscuits and Gravy were an excellent comfort food. I can taste why they claim it on the menu as the house specialty! The flavors are evelvated and complex without overwhelming!

Service: excellentFood: excellent!!They are flexible with switching things out. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options! Will definitely be back!!

My wife and I stopped there today for breakfast. I had the Silver Swan and she had the breakfast sandwich. It was good food. The restaurant was very clean and updated and comfortable. The place was full when we left and I noticed several pick up orders being fulfilled.

This is an awful place. Food came out cold, the pancake was the blackest I've ever seen. Was supposed to be a blueberry pancake and it had no blueberries. Sent it back, all they did was microwave it and now it was steamy and hard as a rock. Everybody else's meal was cold, the service was terrible and addition to the very bad food do not recommend to anyone ever

Noticed this new restaurant pop up. Didn't know what to expect from the outside. Once I got in it was a pleasant surprise. I liked the casual ambiance. To top it off there was live music playing. I shared the menu. The shine burger was very tasty and uniquely built. My wife's chicken sandwich was tasty as well. The service was great. Highly recommended!
