Overpriced terrible food. Takes forever for food to come out. I ordered what i thought was a steak sandwich, it came out as a cold steak wrap. I still dont know what else was in it besides the steak. I think the steak was a week old steak that one of the chefs brought in from home and cut up into pieces. But its ok, they serve it with potato chips. 13$ at that. I'm trying to figure out how this place stays in business.

Stopped by for a sandwich. Took forever to get served. Food was great. Had to hunt the waitress to pay the bill. Not sure if this joint is under new management or what!? I have eaten there several times this past summer and had MUCH better service than I experienced today.

Great service, steak sandwich and Santa Fe chicken salad both good. Tremendous atmosphere.

Always great .. great view especially watching all the snow mobiles and four wheelers on the ice. The service is always great and I enjoy going back to see the same waitresses and their smiling faces.

Dietz's is one of the only Portage Lakes' bars you can paddle/boat up to during the summertime which does give the place a nice charm. Everytime I've been here though service is always slow and inconsistent.

Stopped in for a drink on a nice summer day. Enjoyed watching the boats come and go from the patio dock. Drinks were fairly priced, food a little high, but was good. Nice place to relax.

The location and over looking the water is the best part of this place. The food and service is poor. Upperdeck has 10x better food that they cook in a kitchen the size of a closet. Drive over the bridge to get 4 star expectations.

I stopped in here with some friends and family on a random Tuesday night. Our bartender (I don't remember her name!) was absolutely fabulous...friendly, but not overbearing, and very attentive. We never had an empty glass in front of us! A little downfall is that $1 beers does not last all night. I think this is a statewide thing and not something with this particular bar...but it did suck! Great experience, we'll be going back!

Food is good atmosphere is good with 1 exception. The new owner sits in the bar staring everyone down. He acts like he is pissed and angry. Wears sweatpants and a crappy shirt.....sad very sad. He should be proud of what he has and work the crowd and above all be friendly.

Food and service is awful. The only reason to be here is for a beverage on the outdoor deck.

Dietz's Landing has been around the block...several times...a true Portage Lakes institution, it's a fun place where you can sit back and chill with a beer, right on their dock. Now...you're likely to run into hooknasties and hambones...don't let them bother you. Because then you'll miss out on the charm of watching people ride up in their boats for a burger and Bud. Yep, you read that right. You can drive or sail in! I think it's best to keep it simple...order the burger...although, I enjoyed my steak sandwich, which wasn't chopped...the cuts of steak were whole! They had sweet potato fries. Yeah, I guess you can get some wine here. They won't look at you funny. The waitress had some trouble getting our orders right and forgot a few things. But, because we're not assholes, it didn't bother us that much. Sure you can run into hambones (there was a guy who docked, took his shirt off, and sat there for an hour before sailing back off)...but we also ran into friends of my aunt, whom were a big part of my childhood and I hadn't seen in 25 years. Being back in Ohio is fun. Yeah...the four stars might be a bit generous. If you're looking for a great culinary experience, just pass this place on by. Their salads have iceberg. But the beers are cold and the burgs are great. And who's not up for the occasional "sitting on a cool lake and chilling with friends" evening? The answer? No one.

The food and place was disgusting. The lady at the table next to us ordered a chicken salad and her piece of chicken was raw inside. We ordered burgers medium that were burnt and disgusting. There was a completely intoxicated man that was going around to tables being annoying and even going up to children. He should have been asked to leave. Will not return.

Ok for the boat dock, and decent eats. Certainly not going to win a James Beard culinary award anytime soon, but for a restaurant/bar on the Portage lakes this is a-Ok. The scene was, well, interesting; at lunch our table was the only ones that were under-70 years old. The place was half full/half empty. There's a giant mirrored wall to give a larger than life feel to the place. They're good for take away for the maritime customers, typical greasy bar menu. Restrooms were clean, parking spots were tight. Next door there's a pontoon boat rental. Great place for people watching on the Portage Lakes, a little slice of Redneck Riviera just south of downtown Akron.

I went with a friend on a Saturday afternoon in September. We sat on the patio by the lake, the view was great. We waited 15 minutes for a server to bring menus and offer us drinks (they weren't busy). We each ordered a burger and some mussels. The burgers arrived before the mussel appetizer. We had to ask the waitress for napkins. And utensils to eat the mussels with. And for refills on our drinks. For $9 the burger was pathetic and small. The service was slow and poor. The food was OK. The view was great. The prices were high.

Day bartender didn't know three for three beers we ordered from their beer list. She couldn't find them and didn't know what they were. She walked away while we were ordering, and didn't even know they had a certain soup on special that day. She yelled across the bar to attempt taking our order. She just wasn't bartender quality. :( the evening girl who replaced her was friendly- we didn't order anything else from her though. We had clams and beer cheese soup, both were very good. Food, yum. Day bartender- yuck.

My wife and I finally returned to this place after too many years. Food was pricy, but the food was well worth it! We both had the perch. I can only say it was excellent. Our waitress was very good and attentive. Will we be back? Most definitly!

The Sunday brunch is to die for. Amazing omlets. Starting at lunchtime, the prices quadruple and I'm left feeling as though its quite a bit overpriced. 11 dollars for six "jumbo" fried shrimp that came from planet Sysco is unacceptable, even though the spicy dipping chili sauce that comes with it is made in heaven. Lunch and dinner food is unremarkable, good, if it weren't overpriced. If there are mediocre waitresses here, I haven't met them. There are 3 excellent ones and 2 of the dumbest bimbos I've ever seen.
