    Poutine $14
    Summer C.

    Got here on a Friday night, it was busy and was trying to find a bar seat which we got lucky and found. I got a maine cider that the bartender let me sample and enjoyed; Triple jam. We split poutine, dry rub wings and a onion mushroom pizza. I think I saw on a picture review the poutine was $9, we paid $14. As a poutine addict I can't say I thought it was very good. Gravy was a bit cold and just not flavorful. Cheese curds were good. The pizza was fair, was a bit too cheesy for me and could have used more sauce. I also had a slice on my plate and the bartender without asking me if I was done took it from me, I didn't love it so I let it go to waste, but call out to them you should always ask the customer if finished. The wings were definitely the best part. Dry rub was so good, not messy and the wing meat just fell apart and was very good. I did get forgotten for a moment when ordering a high noon, but it happens and it was busy. The place is very loud with people talking to if you aren't into loud noises this wouldn't be the spot. No parking.

    Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich

    After placing our drink orders, we were excited to try the nachos, pretzels and pizza (which were all recommended to us), but only when we shared our order did the waitress mention their oven was down, so the nachos, pizza and pretzels weren't available. We would have left and come back, but we already had our drinks, so we decided to stay. We ordered garlic parm wings and the short rib grilled cheese. 8 wings with no celery, carrots or blue cheese was $14. We did request a side of blue cheese which ended up being no more than a tablespoon and a 50 cent charge. While the wings had decent flavor, they weren't very crispy. The grilled cheese had a generous portion of meat and the onion rings were tasty. I ate what looked like a small onion ring, but ended up being a piece of fried fish, which was a bit of a surprise. It's a cute spot right in downtown Canton and has a great bar area to watch a game. Perhaps we went on an off night, but not sure we'll be back.

    The reason I wanted to come by was because of their dessert selection, but my boyfriend and I decided we get small plates too. Service was a little slow, but we did show at a later time when the staff was a bit preoccupied with the drinking crowd, understandably so. Surprisingly enough, the drinking crowd around the bar which is most of the restaurant wasn't loud to the point we couldn't converse with each other which was nice. The drinks were delicious and came out quick. So did the food, but heres where the last star for this review got knocked off. The fish tacos were absolutely delicious. They were so good I wanted to order another order togo. But the nachos were not it. I bet they are typically good, and the toppings were loaded on top which is always a good sign for a nacho plate, but the buffalo chicken for whatever reason did not taste up to par. Something was off, there was a taste to it that I can't quite explain but it was almost like the pan they used for the chicken was used for something prior and they just didn't clean it because again, it just had some taste going on that was just not it. Not to mention, my boyfriend who ordered it is a spice enthusiast, and he didn't even get a buffalo flavor. Aside from that hiccup though, we will definitely be returning!

    Meet up with some friends here and had a wonderful time! We were all arriving at different times and the staff was more than accommodating about that! Our waitress was excellent. She had an incredible memory and didn't have to write anything down. Not to mention, she was very attentive and friendly too. When I entered, I didn't know what to expect with the food and I was very happy with my meal. I ordered the power bowl, and my friends ordered pizza/fries. Everyone enjoyed their food. After we finished eating, we went to the bar to enjoy a few drinks! We never felt rushed the entire time we were there, and the staff continuously checked in if we needed anything! As for parking, there is limited street parking that we were able to find! I'm not sure if there is more behind the building as it is on a busy main road

    Nitro expresso martini

    First time visiting C.F. McCarty's. Some friends and I decided to stop by for lunch and I can say the food and drinks were pretty good. We ordered 2 expresso martini (can't remember the price), garlic wings ( $14), pichana wedge salad with steak ($32), house burger with cheese and fried egg ($19), kids mac and cheese ($9). The reason why I'm rating it a four is because my kid did not like the mac and cheese, i tried it, it was very bland no flavor. My kid didn't eat it. When I was asked if there were any thing wrong with the mac and cheese, I informed the waitress and nothing was done about, nothing new was offered and it was not removed from the bill. Other than the mac and cheese. Every thing else was pretty good especially the martini

    This place was really good! Their special cocktails are incredible, you can't really go wrong with any. They're sweet and unique. I am only giving 4 stars because I wasn't impressed with one of the entrees we got--the hunters chicken pasta dish. It was a bit too spicy and didn't have anything too exciting. The pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente and the cheese was good. The CF Mac pizza was bomb though. I drowned it with Parmesan cheese and loved every bite. I wish there were more short rib so the flavor can pop a little more. Overall good place. Parking on the street. Ample space inside. Friendly staff.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the food and drinks here! This is a dive bar with a very good lunch menu. The vibe is still very much dive bar but the food and cocktails I ordered were really tasty! It doesn't look like much but If you're looking to grab lunch in the area I would definitely recommend. The short rib grilled cheese came with a delicious au jus and the meet was really well cooked. I also had the power bowl which had a nice dressing as well. And the boozy iced coffee was sooo incredible! The homemade whipped cream was divine

We were advised light snacks so figured we should probably get a base before heading that way. We walked in to the coolest Irish pub that opened up in the back. It was way bigger than I expected. We quickly ordered drinks and I ordered a Moscow mule (my go to). It was in a copper mug and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered a beer, which he enjoyed too. We ordered some oysters and corn ribs for an appetizer. I had never had corn ribs before and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I split the fish and chips and I'm really glad we did. The fish was extremely large and almost filled the plate. It was crispy and delicious. It was definitely well made. The sauce on the side was even better, too. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite and a pint.

Super relaxed atmosphere and tv's, so it would be a great place to watch a game. Friendly bartender and the fish and chips was good. They also have pizzas that looked great. My friend had a pesto with burrata and she said it was awesome. They also have gluten-free pizza, whihc is good to know. Our table neighbor had the pork chop, which also looked great. They have a small parking lot, which would fill up quickly. We went on a very "off" time, so we were able to park in that lot. Otherwise, you'd need to find street parking.

We were approached by two different staff members. After speaking with us, both said they "needed a minute," which didn't make sense given the simple request: a table for three in the bar area. We were then told the bar area was reserved and that parties of three could only be seated in the dining room. We were seated in a tiny booth crammed right next to another family, despite plenty of open space elsewhere. It felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming, especially given how empty the restaurant was. We left without ordering. The experience was frustrating and disappointing. We went across the street to Takara instead and had an excellent meal. Rosetta's didn't give us the time of day, so we won't be giving them another chance.
