Belgrade Gardens 401 East State Street, Barberton, OH 44203

"This is an Akron gem. They have a unique, Serbian menu with phenomenal food. The chicken paprikash I got there was the best I've ever had. And the fried chicken is fantastic -- more bready and savory than crispy. The sides are tasty too. They also have some nice imported beers. The only thing is that the meal is pricier than most places, but the quantities are generous and the quality is worth it."

"I have been going with my family since I was a child to Belgrades and continue to do so. Yes, it is more expensive than it was years ago...lol. I love their chicken and hot sauce. Sometimes, when you order chicken out, especially white breast meat, it is dry. HOWEVER, Belgrades is the best. The chicken breading is delicious, and when you bite into the chicken, it is very moist and full of juices. Not a bit dry!!!! The hot sauce is rice with kind of a tomato based sauce, which is spicy....so good. Also, they have their own fresh cut French fries! Assorted desserts, and also carry fish and other entrees, but I always order their chicken. A dinner entree comes with 3 side dishes. Growing up in Akron, my mom and dad would take us their after church on Sundays. I was so thrilled when they opened the one in Green on Rt. 241, but I'm VERY disappointed that it is now closed! If you like chicken, I recommend trying Belgrades. The chicken dinners come in assorted, all white, all dark. It is a bit pricey, but what isn't anymore and it is well worth it! The atmosphere inside is very family oriented, the service is good, and of course, the chicken dinners are delicious!!!"

"Yesterday was my first time here eating at "Belgrades Gardens"considering I just moved here from Albuquerque,and recently moved back.I'm familiar with the other "Chicken Houses" growing up and I come to visit my Mother who resides in Ohio and the other places Imo have gone down hill and one place doesn't even serve backs, my favorite part! I was very impressed with the lady who took our carry out and I could see the kitchen was emasculate!! Something that is important to me considering I worked in the food service industry all my life. The restaurant has a home style decor with "chicken figurines" beautifully displayed! The food portions are huge but what impressed me the most was the nostalgia of eating this delicious food I remember as a child! Please keep it up!"
