Tailgate at Akron

Mark, you bring 30 people to the game and I promise to politely, though reservedly clap when Syracuse first comes on the field lol. Very cool. Akron is a city where all the cool things are not so easy to find. You're best shot is to rely on local knowledge. Hope you have a great time here. ScottGO ZIPS!!!

Has anyone tried Old Carolina BBQ Company? Good barbeque and tasty homemade sauces. Started out in Massillon, then they added a location in Canton, and a few months ago added a location off of the Ridgewood Miller Road exit on 77.

Haven't tried it yet, but it's on the "to-do" list. Never got the opportunity to get some "real" BBQ while I was in NC for the College Cup.

Old Carolina is very good IMHO. I think they had plans at one time to put a place in pretty close to the Info. I'm not sure what became of that.

I went to Old Carolina this Sunday before the big game. Excellent food. I would suggest anybody that likes ribs try this. They have four sauces, Original Classic (sweet), Piedmont #5 (tangy), Original Gold (golden bbq), and Screamin’ Beaver (tastefully hot), on the side, so you can add as much and what you want to your ribs. The actual place is nothing to write home about. 5 or 6 booths and 5 or 6 tables. Seems like most people that came in were ordering to go. It's a pretty far hike from Twinsburg so we ate there. Nothing wrong with eating there, just don't expect a Damon's or Outback-type sit down atmosphere. I would not suggest this place for out of town people. Anybody from the Akron area that likes ribs should ABSOLUTELY try this place.
