Connie's Soul Food & Fireside BBQ.

Bernard Howard 4 months ago

Tried to get here by bus, but the stop got removed since the last time I came by. I ordered the BBQ Bourbon Burger Boy, but the chef came by and gave me a Scabby Patty instead. I complained that wasn't what I ordered. He stared back at me blankly and muttered a simple "doowut?" before stumbling off. I complained to the owner, Sally, and she just shrugged. I asked if I could at least get a spoon for my side of canned peaches, and she informed me that they had all gone mysteriously missing. Trust me when I say, literally, this place is the worst.

The food in itself was amazing, especially the sludge (really calmed down my friend) and the luke warm roach pockets. The pregnants man, I believe his name was Ed, even gave us some nice candy. Though the downside of The establishment was the entertainment. A small balding goblin man stood on a trash pile and began to dance and sing about his darkness? Then suddenly ran off the stage mumbling "whats going on...oh God, mom... I diarrhea'ed all over the place" and the head chef, Sally, sounded rather disappointed. Out of all I'd give this experience a 3 out of 5 stars.

Was a decent time, The door man Security Jake kept googling the local Rap(P)er Chase. Chef Connie and Waiter Ed were in good spirits. My Sludge drink was warm and appeared to have Scab flavored gummies. I ordered Connies Burnt Ends. They were quite delicious with a white sauce the local Rap(P)er provided.

Atmosphere wasn’t impressive by any means, the bed out in the main dining area really made it feel cramped and the live special needs rapper seemed to be mumbling most of his performance (when he wasn’t snooping on the young female patrons). The security guard (Jake?) seemed much more focused on oogling at the performer than doing his duties (so much for security when he can’t be bothered to SECURE the area!). I believe they may have a rodent/pest problem as I could have sworn I saw several rats/bugs during my visit (the manager Sally claimed this to be false when I confronted her about this). As for my meal, I decided to have Connies burnt ends which were a tad too crispy for my liking. Bill’s special sundae had fantastic presentation with the rainbow stripes down the sides of the desert, however it was just too salty. The only worthwhile portion of my visit here was the complimentary gondola boat ride provided by Ed on Summit Lake. Overall, 2/5 would not recommend.

I’m a tourist from São Paulo visiting the area of Akron with my wife and we honestly didn’t think this beaten-up house was even a barbecue place, so I stopped nearby with my rental car, and out of nowhere, someone who seemed to be drunk and really malnourished started throwing rocks at it while calling me “Morty” and babbling other nonsense words. It was really scary and I had no idea what was going on. Me and my wife weren’t even aware this was supposed to be a place people look up on Google Maps, since we already had a list of places to stop by before going on a road trip, but I know this is definitely not somewhere I’d ever recommend stopping by. Just a really unsettling and expensive experience overall. We’re still in shock and our honeymoon has been ruined.
