In 2005, Edgar’s Restaurant opened at Good Park Golf Course in Akron as a partnership with three managing members including award-winning Executive Chef Glenn Gillespie.
In 2012, Chef Glenn took overall operations and now privately owns and manages the restaurant. Since then, we have become one of Akron’s top fine dining destinations commonly offering live in-house music performances and special networking events. We also offer an extensive wine menu, mixed drink list, and bar area.
In 2015, Edgar’s rebranded as the Cornucopia of Culture! Each week, Chef Glen creates a “weekly features” menu involving foods from a variety of countries, cultures, and styles. Patron favorites range from Creole Seafood to Greek Cuisine.
The popular Cooking Classics series was introduced in 2018, wherein guests would serve as an audience to a special cooking demonstration by Chef Glenn, followed by a tasting of every food and drink preparation. This event series is an exquisite way for us to connect more intimately with our patrons.

a week agoWe were surprised to find Edgar's located inside a golf course but the restaurant was large and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was early on a Saturday night and the restaurant was empty but the large bar area was crowded. Before we left a large party arrived and a few more tables filled but it was not too crowded. We were told the ingredients for our cocktails were not available due to a large party the previous night then waited 30 min for the oysters Rockefeller, which were overcooked. I tried the ribs that seemed to be reheated and we got the smoked chicken that was pretty good. The grilled potatoes were raw inside and the greens were undercooked and lacked any flavor. Prices were a little high for the quality of the food. Overall the staff were great, the restaurant was nice but the food was not great.

7 months agoThe menu is exquisite, as soon as I saw it I was ready to order everything. They could stand to increase the portion size of the sides when taking out. But overall, everything else was superb.

8 months agoEverything was good from start to finish. Well worth the trip up from Cleveland while on the way to see a concert in the Akron area. The atmosphere and staff attentiveness were right up there with some other great ones we've visited. Sarah rocked!

a month agoOrdered take out. Everything was terrible. I’m 34 weeks pregnant and was extremely excited to try the food just to be severely disappointed especially for the price I paid!!. Prime rib was terrible quality and extremely fatty, white perch was over cooked and dry, calamari may have well been pork rinds with how over cooked they were, Mac and cheese was sweet and cold. Mashed potatoes were cold and dry, salad lettuce was wilted and soggy. Will not be a returning customer!
