Lock 15 Brewing

I feel Lock 15 is underrated. It is so nice inside and the food and beer are wonderful. It could just be me, but when I am thinking of places to go, Lock 15 is not on my radar. Well, that is about to change! I visited for lunch and was very impressed. The inside is clean and welcoming. I LOVE the open kitchen, I think that adds so much to a restaurant. The beer menu is vast and has something for everyone. Not into beer, they have plenty more for everyone. The food menu is more of the same, something for everyone. While looking over the options, I saw so much I wanted to try. I was torn between to items and asked the server for advice. Without hesitation, she said the Nashville Chicken was awesome...and it was! Lock 15 will be on my go to list in the future and I am excited to explore more of the menu.

I enjoyed my experience here. Place was easy to find and had adequate parking for the amount of people that were there. However, if they were packed I could see parking being an issue. The restaurant itself is pretty cool. It has great space, great layout and great decor. They also have a pretty cool outdoor eating area that looked nice, but we opted to inside for the AC. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was good, was nice and crispy on the outside but still pretty moist inside. The fries were good, but I could have done without the seasoning. But then again, I don't like fries with much salt, so others will probably like more. My gf got the same thing, and she enjoyed hers too. My buddy got the wings. He said they were just ok, but didn't think they were worth the price. My only real issue was the menu, both the physical menu you look at to order and then the selections of food and beverages they offer. The physical menu didn't have any prices listed on their beer menu, which was weird. Then on the food menu, most had prices, but some didn't. Like it was a flaw when printing the menus. For example, the fish and chips I ordered was the only entree without a price listed. It ended up being one of the cheaper items, so I was actually a little relieved when I asked our waitress. The menu items they offer don't really speak to me, but that's just me and my personal opinion. I actually had fish yesterday, but the fish and chips was really the only thing that looked appealing in the entree section...at least for the price. The prices on the menu are pretty steep for an average Joe like me. But I haven't had anything else there so I can't say if the price is justified. I'm ok with paying more if the food is on point. But saying all that, I still enjoyed this place and would return. The food and beer I had were all good and it seems like a fun place to go with a group of friends.

Tried a new place in Akron. @lock15brewing love the reclamation of old buildings. Located at the Former Swinehart Tire Factory on the corner of North St. and Howard St. Luckily I made reservations as the line was out the door at 5:30 on Saturday. We had the Burrata appetizer with toast points. Also Fish and chips - huge portion. I had the Lobster roll. Nice size portion of claw meat. Finished with a creme brûlée. I was there with friends but this place would be a great date night also.

Can't comment on beer, since I didn't drink any. But food was fabulous. Server Riley was amazing as well. Hot tots- ABSOLUTEL MUST HAVE. Potatoes, cheese, bacon, absolute perfection. Got a watermelon salad for my side. Amazing colors, and blend of flavors and crunch and all around very happy. Chicken and waffles... that waffle. Sweet and crunchy and delicious. Chicken was gorgeous meeting of spicy and tart. All over mac and cheese which kinda was just there. But 12/10 would come again.

We love this place. They have the best fish and chips we've ever had. My husband and I come to get it a few times a month. The last time we went though he tried a new menu item, The Dip, and said it was the best french dip he's ever had. The atmosphere and staff are also great. It has an old warehouse kind of feel inside and a cute covered patio for outside dining. We highly recommend checking it out!

Great atmosphere both indoors and out. Excellent menu of items and drinks for all tastes. Service was great, facilities clean and all food and drinks awesome. The brewery would be an excellent pit-stop along the way, or a great place to stop for dinner and unwind. Also in a great location right out of the immediate downtown Akron area. Easy parking, plenty to see and do immediately around the location. Definitely worth the visit.

Our first time here. Great beer, awesome food and fabulous service! My wife had the shrimp and grits, she loved it. I had the beer battered haddock it was yummo! Jessica the bartender was awesome! Great experience, we will be back! Our second time at Lock 15 was a total disappointment. They were changing the menu so they were out of a lot of things on the menu. It took us over 30 minutes to finally get our food. My wife’s food was so salty she didn’t finish it. Service was poor at best and they were not busy. To many breweries around, we probably won’t go back!
