Unfortunately, Al Kerkian passed away in May 2015 due to complications from shoulder surgery. Susan Johnson continues to successfully run the business with the support of their daughter, Arami. The walls and ceilings covered in Americana and transportation history create a unique atmosphere while guests enjoy generous portions of familiar yet creative dishes. Gasoline Alley's daily specials include pizza, soup, desserts, and more. All sandwiches come with a side of hand-cut fries and kosher dill pickle.

2026 Highlights: Gasoline Alley provides Specialty Pizza Pies. The restaurant provides outdoor seating options."

GASOLINE ALLEY REVIEWS

This is a great little restaurant/bar. The atmosphere is very quaint, fun and inviting. They have a lot of old gas station signs and memorabilia on display. The service is prompt, efficient and friendly. The food is good and the portions are good too. I really enjoyed my Philly Cheese Steak and he enjoyed his Rueben. We will return.

What an awesome restaurant. Great food - the menu is amazing and nothing disappoints - and the staff is so friendly. I want to go there every day and try something new every time. 10/10 recommend.

Food was good. Nice atmosphere. A huge sandwich selection. Someone next to us got pizza sn it looked good too. I got Traffic Jam and my husband got the Fat Boy Burger with an IPA.

THE LOCKVIEW REVIEWS

We came with family before a show at the Civil Theater across the street! The restaurant was absolutely packed but they still got our food and drinks to us in a timely fashion. Our server was super nice and personable and the sandwiches were unique and hit the perfect spot! We love Lockview and will be sure to be back soon.

Great place, loved the menu, wonderful staff, ate light....this time, loved seeing the grilled cheese options. Beers to go- incredible selections. Loved the beautiful mural across the street! Again, staff was wonderful.

The food is always good. It can get busy so sometimes you wait a little for the food, but it is not crazy, plus it's worth it! Goldfish crackers as an app and side. Lawson's chip dip Yes, please AND thank you.

AKRON FAMILY RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Went here in the early morning for breakfast, and it wasn’t too busy in the main seating area. This place has a sweet staff, nice decor, and delicious food that didn’t take much time to come out. The hotcakes were huge, fluffy, and went really well with the warm syrup they serve on the side. Ordered extra bacon and it was totally worth it.

Incredible restaurant! Staff is really sweet and attentive, and food is so frigging good! I highly recommend the Salmon BLT. They served it on ciabatta bread with mayo on the side and fries! If I was a local, I'd probably eat here everyday, but alas, just passing through. I'll definitely make an effort to try and get out here the next time I'm in town though.

Love this place!! Best food!! Friendly , attentive waitresses. If you haven't been here I'd highly recommend.
