What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
United States Potato Service is a beloved spot for its creative and abundant potato-centric menu, and the warm, engaging atmosphere fostered by owner Danny. While many rave about the generous portions and unique offerings like poutine and pierogis, some reviews mention inconsistent fry preparation and concerns about vegetarian labeling.
"We were in town for the eclipse looking for a place my vegan husband, picky kid, and I could all find something good to eat. "USPS" was perfect! The music and location are great and we had fun talking about bands and records with Danny. If we lived in Akron, we'd be there all the time!"
Rachel Masilamani
"The food and staff were great! 4 stars just because the fries were a little under done and under seasoned, but over all it was still really good. The poutine was a huge portion, and the perogies were unlike any I've had before. I would definitely recommend."
Rustin Ault
"This place is awesome, as a fan of potatoes this place hits the spot. The fry portions are huge and the perogies are great. I can't wait to go back."
