K C's Dugout — Restaurant in Akron

⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ We’ve been coming to KC’s Dugout for well over a decade, and it’s hands-down our favorite little hole-in-the-wall bar. To most folks, it might just look like another neighborhood spot — but to us, it’s where we can kick back, relax, and feel at home. Everyone here looks out for each other, and the mix of regulars is what makes it truly special: just good people of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds.

And let’s talk about the perks:

Breakfast as early as 6am (yes, they’ve got you covered after a late night or before an early shift).

A full kitchen menu running all day until about 11pm — so you’re never stuck hungry.

Dart and pool leagues to keep things lively.

Plus, they recently kicked off Saturday night pool tournaments (check at the bar for details).

This isn’t the kind of place where you’ll find overpriced martinis or cocktails with cucumber foam — thank goodness. KC’s is the real deal: affordable drinks, a friendly crowd, and an atmosphere that feels like home the moment you walk in.

If you’re looking for a laid-back, welcoming bar where the food is hot, the games are on, and the people are even better — KC’s Dugout is it for us. Maybe we'll see you...

What really can be said about KC's Dugout. If your a minimalist then you'll find this place to be refreshing and revitalizing but for me it was dreadful.

KC'S Dugout is a dimly lit dive bar or hole in a wall. It's dank with an old deep dark wood bar and floors. It seems dirty and dingy when clean and has probably maintained the same decor since inception.

Most of the customers are regulars who know each other on a first name bases.

The morning bartender Kelly was amazing. Yes morning because this establishment opens at 6 giving third shifters and opportunity to tie one on after a long night of work.

They offer a rather impressive menu in terms of the amount of things they offer at a great prices. To my astonishment everything I had tasted good. I'd suggest the wings on Thursdays they're wonderful and on sale.

Overall it was an okay experience that personally I would only frequent at six o'clock in the morning after working the night shift or continuing a late night full of...

It's a decent "hole in the wall". I went in for breakfast at 8 am and the atmosphere with the barely able to talk over music and the place pretty well packed was just as electric as the bar would have been Friday night at midnight. On the downside my steak and egg meal while still delicious was not prepared how I specified on the eggs which I asked for fried, yole broke, and they came back over easy and my steak I asked for in between med and medium rare and it came back almost rare. I didn't say anything but I know the blame is on the waitress not caring enough to state my order to the cook correctly because the food was super delicious still and somebody who cooks that well isn't going to mess up two things on one simple order. I would have gave 3 star but the cook saved it with a solid classic well prepared plate to get...
