Mr. Zub's Deli & Bar is a local favorite here in Akron, Ohio. They're serving up some unique sandwiches and pizzas and other tasty treats that nobody else is doing in town. From mac and cheese bacon sandwiches to Gyros, they offer plenty of variety and vegetarian options for you to choose from. The atmosphere is pub-like and is a hotspot for local college students from Akron University. Service was fine and food was overall good but there were some things that could have been better. Overall I would come back and give them another shot. Try them out!

I had The Rocky Balboa which is a classic philly cheese steak with onions, peppers, provolone and mayo on a soft hoagie bun. I had the Fried Jalapeno Ravioli bites as a side. The wife had the David St. Hubbins which is essentially a BLT with onions, turkey and cream cheese added on an onion bagel. She had the Seasoned Fries as a side. I'll start with the good being that I really enjoyed my wife's sandwich haha good flavor and the bagel was very soft which was nice because it was easy to eat. The cream cheese and turkey really made this sandwich enjoyable and complemented each other well. My philly had good flavor and you can tell they season their meat because the meat by itself was tasty. Some philly places have bland meat but not here.

Now, my gripes about this place started when we were ordering. We wanted to try the Gouda Mac and Cheese Bites and Mozzarella sticks but they were out of those and their funnel cake fries. It was an hour after they opened so being told they were out of it was a letdown. When we got our food my sandwich looked like there wasn't anything in there. I take all my pictures as they come when I open up the packaging or get the plate on my table but usually phillys are seam side down and filling side up but this was on its side and looked flat. There could have been more fillings because it seemed skimpy. My raviolis and my wife's fries should have been fried more. The raviolis were pale and not a nice golden brown and one of them didn't even have any filling in it and was just breading. The fries were slightly crispy and mostly soft and floppy. So had they added a bit more filling in my sandwich, presented it better and fried our fried food properly then it probably would have been a 4 star review.

On a side note, our friend with us had The Rick Deckard sandwich which was s buffalo chicken sandwich with bacon, tomatoes and lettuce and she said she liked it.

I have had this place before but this is the first review on Google that I was doing for them but the food for me just came up a bit short. Atmosphere is cool and I appreciate the outdoor seating and full bar and service wasn't anything to rave about but it was average. Hoping to have a better experience next time but I won't be writing another review for it.
