A unique place, off the beaten path. We were visiting the area and looking for a good lunch option to take to the lake! Landing on Primos, we stopped on the way and ordered. There is no dine in option, so everything is take out. It is definitely a small family owned business, which is always a perk in my opinion! Real people making a real living. The sandwiches themselves were amazing! We tried a few different ones. High quality ingredients, great ratio of bread to fixings to condiments and the rye bread specifically was a stand out for me! So delicious. Homemade side dishes and desserts were also available. Or a simple bag of chips for just .50 as an alternate side option. They also have a cooler with a variety of unique brews available. The whole place is a bit of a spectacle with signs and memorabilia covering most of the inside. The bathroom itself is also an interesting site, with pictures of shirtless men, cats, and burgers seemingly cut out of tabloids and taped right to the walls. It's small and morgan wallens photo is staring at you while you pee, but it all added to the experience!

So sad we cannot continue eating here. We had family and friends coming in from North Olmsted and Parma picking their favorite eatery in our area and it was always primos.

My family and I have been enjoyed the homemade food from here for over 22 years. The best Turkey Ruben And Italian sub around.

I've actually wanted to stop here for a few years. I even tried at least twice, but but both times I can recall being unlucky and it ended up being a Sunday or Monday and I was greeted with their "closed on Sundays & Mondays" sign. But anyways, I happened to stop here recently, and it was a Tuesday, thankfully. So I was able to try the Turkey Reuben with Cole Slaw and Swiss on Grilled Rye Bread. The prices do seem just slightly higher than I would have expected. But I have to say, this was seriously the best sandwich I've had in quite a long time. Yes, seriously. The turkey was definitely great, but I expected that. What really caught my attention was that the Cole Slaw was particularly perfectly sweet and the Thousand Island Dressing was quite delicious. Additionally, the worker was professional and helpful, and even showed me some of the antiques, pointed out a cool picture of her on the wall from 15 or more years ago standing next to an old muscle car (she has worked here for many years), and offered an additional sample bowl of Broccoli and Cheese Soup. The soup was good, too. The place was simply pretty awesome. The only downside was that it was a bit sad to hear how she said the place was always busy and filled with people before the Covid Crazies tried to take over and control and shut down everything, though. And I guess they just never fully opened back up. I think she implied that she and the owner prefer it as "take out only", but the place looks and feels like a place that would be difficult for regulars to find a substitute for. Makes me think they would be disappointed. While I wish I had visited Primo's before the Covid Crazies became a thing, I'm just glad that particular hell on Earth time period is over. Even if there are still obvious negative side effects from the Covid Crazies' path of destruction. Anyways, the plants, antiques, vintage signage, and other decorations were great and created a cool, unique atmosphere. Cool place. To someone like me, that loves plants, it was like a tiny slice of heaven. I bet it was a fun and chill place to eat and hang out at back in the day. I'm looking forward to getting take out again. Or if I'm lucky and they ever reopen for dining, eating there!

Primo's is the best deli in Akron. I like their chili cheese dogs. They have an extensive imported beer selection.

Second time here and definitely going to be back and add to the rotation. The New York pastrami with creamy slaw and thousand island in rye was fantastic. Diverse menu and took everything of me to hold off on a second sandwich. Staff was super friendly as well

After a nearby weekend round of golf, we stopped here for a trunk lunch in the parking lot. Due to COVID-19 they are takeaway only and without a park to hop over to, we just opened up the minivan trunk and tailgated right there in their lot! My buddy and I decided to get two sandwiches (Hot Italian and a Reuben) so we could split and try them both. We also got a big bag of local area wavy chips (Hartville brand) and doing so they gave us a container of their famous bacon-flavored chip dip! I was also to try another area favorite (for the first time), a pure cane sugar soda called Norka. The hot Italian sub was excellent and only mildly spicy served pressed on a grilled bun along with onion, lettuce and tomato. The corned beef Reuben sandwich was great served atop a hearty grilled bread, lean corned beef and plenty of sauerkraut and Russian dressing. Chip dip was definitely flavored with bacon seasoning and we gobbled that up in no time using those crispy wavy chips. I had a cherry-strawberry Norka pop and it was very refreshing and not overly sweet...went great with our sandwiches! Will most certainly add this to my foodie list for future golf rounds when we need to spot for a quick bite. Well done, team!

Excellent sandwiches, especially that hot spicy Italian sub! And the Reuben has the most tender corned beef! This place feels like a dive bar, but has very tasty food. You pick your bottle or can of beer (lots of craft and unique brews) from the refrigerator. And the prices are excellent. Rolling Acres, sadly, feels like a ghost town. But Primo's is thriving!
