So we headed South to check out a rather newer burger joint called Metro Burger in Akron.
Pretty standard entrance w/ easy to order counters and clipboards.
Burger Bar in Akron
Standard sodas and beverages offered with your meals. But do you see what caught our eye?
Sodas
Look closer.
Aww yeah. Any place that embraces social media will earn a few extra points in our book. It’s 2011 – embrace social media.
If Betty White is using social media, you should too
BTW-I don’t think MvF will be bellying up to the bar for this small challenge.
Like the warm-blooded Americans, we ordered a burger with about everything on it with the replacement Onion rings.
1/3 lbs burger!
Burger was delicious and seasoned well. Nice work on the slightly melted cheese too. Also liked the classic bun vs this “whole wheat movement”.
8/10 - good
Also note a gentle crisp on the burger itself. Lovely and delicious.
Nice touch
Additionally, we opted for the vegi burger with sweet potato fries.
Veggie-o-rama burger
On the veggie burger, get the mushrooms and gouda – it makes the veggie burger for sure.
Sweet potato fries are good…well seasoned and nicely crisped. Also enjoyed the retro packaging too. Is that Mr. Potato Head?
Onion rings we OK, nothing fancy.
Our signature move: Onion Rings
They are real onions inside.
Real onions for onion rings
I’d rate them a B.
The overall quick service and modern fun interior made this place a rather fun eats.
What-the-what?!?!? No dick jokes, no innuendos, no seductive succulent sauces here…I would classify as a vanilla quickie work lunch.
Nothing to write home about. BUT comparatively, we still believe the best burger in the world can be found here.

Next time, try the pretzel bun instead of the standard hamburger bun. I think it elevates the burger. I would also agree with your ‘B’ assessment. It’s a good burger, but better can certainly be had. I’ve been driving by Metro Burger on my way home from work and have been looking for a good reason to stop back in.

Pretzel bun at the next work lunch. Roger that. Maybe B+ with pretzl bun?
Burgers in Cleveland? our vote is Chef Symon’s B-Spot.
Unless Metro Burger is going to offer fried balogna, bourbon beer, and milkshakes as accessories…

Heh heh heh….aloha!
I think you’d do better in the Cleveland area.
If you can forgo the veggie, perhaps a pitstop at Swensons?
