A new restaurant has come to Akron.

In late August, the new restaurant Barrelhouse opened for business. You can find the new restaurant in Akron at 1682 W Market St.

The menu includes shareable plates like casino oysters, pork belly served over corn pudding with apple raisin chutney, fried green tomatoes, stuffed hot peppers, crab cakes, chicken souvlaki skewers, hummus, and cauliflower steak.

Also on the menu are some salads like a beet salad (which is prepared with roasted beets, mixed greens, whipped feta, apple cider vinaigrette, and crushed pistachios) and the house salad, which is prepared with mixed greens, grape tomatoes, cucumber, shredded mozzarella, and white French dressing.

The restaurant also offers build-your-own burgers. You can get one of the following protein options: 2 quarter pound smash beef patties, salmon burger, crab cake, turkey burger, grilled chicken, fried chicken, or Impossible burger. You can get one of these buns: egg, ciabatta, whole wheat vegan, waffles, or gluten-free.

Then you add one of these cheese options: American, gruyere, hot pepper, cotija, shredded mozzarella, whipped feta, crumbled bleu, Boursin, cream cheese, burrata, or crumbled goat.

Finally, you can add toppings like lettuce, tomato, red onion, jalapeno, avocado, sauteed mushrooms, ham, poached eggs, and more.

The menu also includes brunch items like omelets, chicken and waffles, and French toast as well as family-style sides like mushroom risotto and corn pudding.

Here is what a local guide wrote about the new addition to Akron in a Google review:

Reasonable prices for Sharable Small Plates. Crab Cakes were authentic, not loaded with filler, Ahi Tuna was tender served with a lightly fried avocado, finally the cauliflower plate was delicious. I shared these small plates with my wife. We each had a draft beer, and shared a dessert of chocolate/ peanut butter pie. We were full. Next time I might pass up the dessert for a shot of bourbon, as they have a wide selection.

If you want to check out the new restaurant, you can find it at 1682 W Market St, Akron, OH 44313.
