LongHorn Steakhouse

Reviewed By mee338

When we want a good steak in town, we always go to this Longhorns even though Exit 8 one is closer. The food is good and cooked right, especially the steak. We tend to go about 5pm on the weekend to avoid a 1 hr wait. The service with Ryan was excellent the whole time and the manager stopped by as well. We really do like this place from the bartenders who get us sodas if we have to wait for a minute or two, to the staff.

J. Michael's Prime

Reviewed By Monica S

This establishment is really an amazing place. There are so many details that are perfect. The restaurant itself is gorgeously decorated, the views are breathtaking. The service is impeccable. Everyone you encounter, from the hostess, server, manager, chef and the owners - their kindness and professionalism will make you want to come back again and again. The beautiful menu is well thought out and exactly what Canton has needed for years. Courses are well timed. Food preparation and quality can go head to head with any Buckhead or in town restaurant and win. Price point-this is the amazing thing. It can be pricey, and reserved for special occasions ... BUT.... it could easily be very affordable for any Tuesday night that you dont want to cook. This restaurant has captured the ability to be a place for everything. Date nights ✅Family quick bites✅Birthday✅Girls night✅Graduation✅Rehearsal dinner✅Parents in town✅Drink and appetizer✅Solo diner✅Celebration✅Tuesday night, don’t want to cook? ✅I don’t know how they managed to do it, but this might be the most perfect restaurant we have ever been to!

Eight of us had very good food here. Nice menu, good drinks selection, very good service in a casual atmosphere. If you like loud music, this is the place for you. If you would prefer to hear your dinner companions speak, maybe not. The volume of the music cost The Local a star from me. Our musician friend says if the drummer would switch from sticks to brushes, problem solved.

Queenie's

Reviewed By CoachJTL

Located in cute downtown Canton, Queenies offers indoor and outdoor seating with a stylish mixture of decor. Food is southern but with flare. Flavors are elevated with intense and exciting combinations. We had brisket, sweet potatoes and cauliflower and chicken and dumplings. The sweet potatoes especially were really good with a kick of cilantro. Portions were large, so they provided some really nice to go containers with a nice bag with handles ( love those kind lol). All of the staff was really friendly.

They have awesome food here. I've had duck and it was fabulous!! Have a reservation for the weekends because it is a smaller place. We've stopped by for a drink at the bar too and had the friendliest bar tender who recommended some new drinks to try that were delicious and just what we needed that night.

Keithsburg Cafe

Reviewed By Norma J

This is one of my favorite spots....food is always good but the place is very small and usually crowded. We had to wait over 20 minutes for a table one morning for breakfast. They do have tables outside now, which helps. The only suggestion I have is that they take away the tables for 4 and then add tables for 2. That way, they can let people sit down faster as many people come in there as a couple and have to wait for a table for 4.

Union Hill Grill

Reviewed By j r

First and last visit. Visited this restaurant because many of the ratings are very good. Unfortunately in this case ratings are VERY inaccurate. i gave this place a two only because the service was adequate. The food was some of the worst i have been served. We had the shrimp and grits and Philly sandwich for lunch. The server advised us that everything was "prepared fresh". The shrimp and grits looked and tasted like the "chef" took some tomato sauce from a can, added four or five shrimp, three strips of half-cooked green pepper, a couple of pieces of sausage, a spoon full of canned corn, heated them together and poured it over some grits. UGH!!!! Worst shrimp and grits that i have ever tasted. The Philly sandwich was extremely dry, extremely small bun and had a smidgen of ingredients. My wife took the ingredients from one side of the sandwich and placed them on the other side attempting to get enough ingredients together to be able to taste something other than dry bread. Again UGH!!! Best part of these meals was the "prepared fresh" frozen french fries! And all this wonderfulness for a little less than $40. WOW!!! We dine out almost every meal and trust me there are so many better choices than this establishment. Do yourself, your taste buds and stomach a huge favor, don't be fooled by the good ratings and pick another restaurant any other one.

The food was good, it's a little pricey..the waitress literally said it will cost extra to everything we asked for, including salad dressing- two instead of what came with salad. but it's a cozy atmosphere.Dear Guest,Thank you for taking the time share your experience with us. I’m not sure what you had but we don’t typically charge extra for dressings, if there was any confusion, please accept our personal apology for the lack of understanding what your needs were. If you would be so kind as to send me a personal note to describe a bit more detail, I’d love to make amends. We deeply appreciate your patronage and look forward to winning back you confidence.Have a fantastic week!Respectfully,Michael D. FarrarOwner / Operator Riverstone Corner [email protected]

Goin' Coastal Sustainable Seafood Joint

Reviewed By Reba100

We brought our daughter and her spouse here to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. We had a reservation through Open Table, and were seated immediately upon arrival. Our waitress was very helpful with suggestions and explanations of the menu items. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious! We enjoyed the calamari and raw oysters as appetizers. There is a nice wine, liquor, and beer selection, though we chose not to imbibe at this dinner. The entrees included a tossed salad with garbanzo beans and beets, and little corn muffins. The sides everyone chose were excellent. We didn't have room for dessert, but the ones we saw looked very good. The only downside is that the restaurant is a bit on the loud side, but we were still able to converse at our table of four. I recommend this for a special occasion.
