Gyro Bowl
Yo O.

Fun, eclectic restaurant with a fun and friendly staff! We started out with flaming cheese which was delicious. Then we split the gyro bowl and the special was pastitsio. Both were healthy portions and very tasty. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The fun decor is a plus - you need to see it!!

We were introduced here by Frankie and Lyndie who are locals in the area, (we're from Florida) and we were not disappointed whenever we visited Ohio we always had to be here and enjoyed their awesome food, the staff were all amazing, accommodating and always had smiles on their faces and it showed how they love to be working there. Food so great, ambience so unique and interesting. I even bought one of their t - shirt. it. We will never get tired coming to this awesome restaurant. Thanks so much everyone.

My first Greek breakfast and it was amazing! Awesome food and great service. A quirky place that feels like family.

Found my favorite Greek dish, Pistachio as a lunch special. Very good. The Christmas decorations were great. Service was very attentive.

Best Greek food in town. Not open for dinner though. Traditional Greek cuisine. I love the Gyro platter for lunch.

Everything down to the way our table was set up, was spectacular! From the jump we had such a great…read moreexperience at Bender's. My husband told me he had made reservations at this place in Canton. I just followed his lead. When we arrived we were greeted by lots of people (the one male host was a little rude though, he's the only negativity we encountered the whole evening, looked at my husband and I like we didn't belong there and snubbed us, but someone else took over) We were seated and our waitress was SO sweet. She told us about everything, since it was our first time. We ordered our drinks and she let us look over the menu. We decided, I got the crab cakes, and my husband got the halibut Ala foley! Both dishes were FANTASTIC! We did end up with dessert as well. Key lime tart so delicious! I'm so glad we found this place, pricey yes, but worth every single penny! We enjoyed it all, and will be back.

We have been to Bender's many times over the past 40 years. The dining rooms are decorated with…read moredark wood and marble walls and an old style tin ceiling. Our server was very professional and friendly. The service was prompt. The calamari was lightly fried and tender. My beet salad with a scoop of cheese was tasty but small considering the $13 price tag. Likewise the scrod was done perfectly as always. At the end of a filling meal, the mini sundae -vanilla with peanut butter sauce hit the spot. The only negative is the prices have gone up monumentally. For example, scrod a la foley used to be $24 and is now $39. Other than that, it was a great dining experience.

Here's the thing, it's a buffet, you are not going to get 5 star service, and you aren't going to…read morehave perfectly tailored food to your liking, it's just that simple. All of these one star reviews are unwarranted for what it is. Lunch is my favorite at golden corral, for $9.95 I get a salad, loaded baked potato and small dessert, you can't really get that anywhere for the price, not even a drive through, most salads are now $12-17, so to me, it's a great deal. Dinner is always hit or miss, I feel if you go on a not peak time (right when they open, or after the dinner rush) you will have better luck, there is a lady who has worked here for years, she keeps up with refills and always clears the plates so you aren't sitting with dirties. My only complaint is during dinnertime especially there are ALWAYS kids unattended at the buffet, also running through the restaurant, we were here on Saturday 09/10 and witnessed kids picking up food and putting it back into the containers on the buffet, and running back and forth from the dessert bar to the buffet knocking over someones cane and almost tripping them, several tables complained and the waitress said they aren't allowed to say anything about it...there should be a policy that if you can't keep your kids under control or accompany them to the buffet you have to leave.

Atmosphere: Walking into the restaurant, the woman at the…read morecounter was a little less than friendly and just acted like she hated her job. When getting our first plates of food, I think we set at least 5 plates to the side before we found clean ones to use. One thing to take BIG note of is that MAYBE 25% of the food, sauces and condiments are labeled. It is a guessing game what you are getting. Aside from that, our table was clean, and our waitress was very nice. One thing that you MUST BE AWARE OF if you come to eat here, you can only tip with cash. Unless you go back up to the front counter to the woman who hates her job and ask for cash off of your card, you and your waitress/waiter are out of luck. We literally had to zelle our waitress her tip because we felt so bad and I better there are many times a day that customer just simply don't tip at all because "if they wanted us to tip then they should have made that possible on our card". Very few people are going to want to walk back up to Hate-My-Job Jessica and go through the hassle of getting cash back on their card. That is something that they really need to figure out. Food: We tried the following foods: -Tortilla chips with ground taco meat and cheese sauce: With the looks of the cheese sauce, I thought it was going to be very bad, but it was actually the item I ate the most of. Albeit hard to screw up nachos, we still very much enjoyed them. -Spinach artichoke dip: We were excited to try this because it looked fresh, hot and creamy. We were mistaken. This was FOWL. We rarely get something so bad we have to spit into a napkin, but this was absolutely one of those times. It had absolutely zero flavor. -Chicken Tenders: The chicken tenders were good. But hands down the best thing I had at dinner that night was the orange sauce you see on the plate (It was definitely some type of buffalo sauce but of course it wasn't labeled). -Popcorn shrimp: The popcorn shrimp was good. But was sucked about it was that the cocktail sauce is all the way on the other side of the buffet and there is no sign to tell you that. Obviously, it is kept where the cold condiments are, but I had to ask where it was and that was a guessing/smelling game as well since nothing is labeled. -Tamale: Disgusting. Period. -Meatloaf: My partner said the meatloaf was your average run of mill meatloaf but was good. -Green beans and mashed potatoes: Good -Lemon Custard Cake?: It wasn't labeled, and we thought it was cheesecake from the looks. Good thing we didn't put chocolate sauce... -Banana Pudding: Good. Your average banana pudding. If we were down on our luck and needed a cheap way to get a full stomach, we would try it again. Other than that.... No thank you
