This is still one of the best places to eat!!! Order the hash browns....pepper onions and jalapeño ketchup!!

Excellent food and service . Definitely worth the visit. Great ambiance too . I'll definitely be back

The Canton Inn far surpassed my expectations. Our server was so sweet and friendly and the food was on par with any meal you'd get in the big city. If I lived closer I'd make it a regular stop. read more

Great steak, excellent lamb (when they have it), and my sister says their chicken is to die for. Nicely decorated up front and back in the bar area. The servers are always nice & helpful. The prices aren't cheap, but they're worth it. I recommend the Canton Inn. read more

Went with a customer for dinner. Food was good. We had their filet w port wine reduction. Filet was cooked appropriately but the reduction was overly sweet. The same can be said for the Jack Daniels sauce on the ribeye my customer had. Twice baked potatoes were excellent. Accompanying salads were ok. Bit pricey all considered. read more

The Canton is an institution but I had not been there since I was a youngster. But man oh man it did not disappoint. We had the toasted ravioli for the appetizer, my wife had the baked orange roughy topped with crab stuffing and asparagus. I had the marinated ribeye with twice baked potato. Both came with a nice side salad as well. My wife was very pleased and my ribeye was about as good as I've ever made and I'm a master steak griller. Cannot wait to go back! read more

Always delicious and such a variable menu that if you can't find something you like, you aren't trying. Nice and clean all around. Sometimes the staff seems a bit busy but always pleasant and helpful read more

The wife and I were here for our Valentines Day dinner and we were not disappointed at all. The wife had the 14 oz. New York Strip w/baked potato, both cooked to perfection - tender and juicy! I had the 10 oz. Ribeye (medium rare)w/baked potato, also cooked to perfection! We both brought enough home for another meal as well. Very good waitress, took care of 5 or 6 tables without any problems. It was a great night out! read more

Awesome Blossom and you don't have to drive an hour or more as this is in our backyard. They get it and the do it perfectly every time! Don't be bashful get out and enjoy! read more

DO NOT GO TO A PLACE where the owner does not care for the customers! Where the owner is rude, dismissive, uncaring toward her customers complaints, and apparently money hungry because she cares only for the outrageously priced food that she serves (but only for the price NOT the quality)!! We will NEVER go there again!!!!! My husband ordered the wings last night and there were feathers still on two of the wings...FEATHERS!!!!!!! NOT JUST ONE OR TWO EITHER!!!! When he showed them to the OWNER she said to him "There is nothing I can do about it. They come breaded (they were naked wings people) that way and our cooks don't have time to check them." Then goes back and sits at the bar like nothing ever happened. Any place else would have adjusted your bill or done something to make it right but not this place. We were there for a birthday dinner for a friend so of course we were not going to cause a scene and ruin her night, however...NEVER AGAIN!!!! read more

Great staff, wonderful music and awesome food. I've never had a bad meal there. It's worth the drive to Hillsboro Illinois

Our first time hear after several people recommended it. We were greeted warmly and served drinks right away. The menu has daily chef specials. I ordered a spicy strop steak with sautéed shrimp in a jalapeño butter. It was quite spicy but cooked to perfection. My husband had prime rib and it was melt in your mouth delicious! This is a great place for a date night. Wonderful steak and a tasty bottle of wine! read more

Canton Inn is always my favorite go to. We go at least twice a month. Every thing is good from burgers, fried fish, to steak. Always have good specials on the weekends. Great drinks too. read more

Food is always great, service was good this time. Wasn't a long wait. There were 4 of us in our group

First trip to the Canton INN in its new (to us) location. Ordered corn soup and broccoli soup (only had one order of corn soup available). It took a long time to get the soup which was VERY thick (could eat with a fork) for a cream soup. Both were below average. Ordered Lamb chops and Steak strips. The Lamb Chops were ok, but would not order again, the Steak was VERY TOUGH. We could not eat it. The Manager was kind enough to remove from our bill. Our waitress seemed to be new and did not know what to do, like bring our soups out together or one at a time, ask if we wanted bread, We thought she was new. We did notice another waitress that was very attentive and appeared to understand what she needed to do. read more

Since moving to the new location, we really enjoy Canton Inn. Food is awesome. Lots of choices. Love their twice baked potato and Jack Daniels kabobs. read more

We have here many times with my husbands parents. I like my filet mignon medium to medium well. After several experiences with extremely rare streaks. I requested it to be butterflied. I was told the chef wouldn't do that. I asked for well done then. It came RAW. Tonight I asked again and was told "the way our steaks are cut we can't". Whaaaat?!? So I asked for a different cut and she said that's a difficult steak to cook the way you like it. I gave up and ordered fried shrimp. My husband who likes his beef rare ordered the strip "too hard to cook through" and it came medium/medium well. Seriously, I think they just don't how to cook steaks to order. And what happened to pleasing the customer? Hash browns were partially burnt and I still have a bad taste from them. Over priced and under delivered. The shrimp was ok. read more

Omg the prime rib practically melts in your mouth!!! We ordered the spinach dip for our appetizer and it came out with homemade chips!! There was none of that left! And the cowboy caviar! Everything is so good!!! I would DEFINITELY recommend this restaurant!! read more

Great atmosphere. Drinks were fantastic, steak was ok. I want to go back and try something else, the pork chop sounded good! Great menu selections! First time there. I recommend giving it a try. If you get the steak....get the garlic butter on top! read more

Got coconut shrimp in carry out order . It was gross. The batter under the coconut was raw read more

Great food, excellent service! We had a large group of 14 there and they were kind and efficient. It was a little spendy but completely worth it! I had steak and shrimp. Best steak I've ever had in my life. We would definitely return! read more

Tried to dine here during dining hours that are posted on website and on the door. Arrived an hour before listed closing time. Doors locked people inside. Won't try to dine here again. read more

Excellent! I had been wanting to try this place for a while now but just hadn't had the time to make the 40 minute drive over to Hillsboro. Finally tonight we made the trip. I was definitely worth it. Service was excellent. Out waiter was very friendly and efficient. We both ordered the 1lb king crab legs. It came with a salad and potato. I had the twice baked, he had the au gratin. Everything was delicious! Salad was fresh and crisp. Crab legs were flavorful. My twice baked potato was creamy and plentiful. His au gratin potatoes were cheesy and baked to perfection. I had a few vodka tonics which were mixed quite well. He had the blue moon on draft and a whiskey. This place is fine dining in a casual atmosphere. Just how we like it. Obviously, getting the crab dinners was pretty expensive but the menu has a variety of items for all budgets. We will definitely be back. read more

Quite disappointing. We asked for the appetizer "special Italian Nachos" but they were out. It was 5:45 on a Friday??? Instead we opted for the seafood ravioli. They were allegedly served with "drawn butter," but whatever they brought tasted more like liquid crisco. Didn't look like butter and had no flavor, save for a mild oil tinge. The potato soup was good, but not great. Spouse ordered the seared scallops as usually. They were good, but a bit bland. Slightly undercooked, but not fishy. Just bland. I ordered Ribeye & crablegs. No drawn butter, no bowl for shells, no small fork, the legs were warm, not hot, just barely warm. No bread ever came. The ribeye was similar quality and flavor as you get at bonanza. Not much flavor, but it was cooked a proper medium. Overall a pretty disappointing visit. We've always had better luck. We will try again in hopes of improvement. read more

Absolutely phenomenal. Quite possibly my favorite restaurant of all time. I have never had a bad meal here. I typically go for the seared sea scallops or 24oz lobster tail. Always have to get the Calamari. Steaks are delicious, and some of the best fried chicken I've ever tasted. Everything is exceptional. Also, try the Italian margarita. It does not disappoint! read more

Very disappointed. My husband and I spent $70.00 for two meals and it was horrible didn't even finish them. We got the alligator tail as an appetizer and it was some kind of ground up processed nugget that was horrible didn't even taste like alligator. The salads were skimpy. The entrees were lamb fries that looked like the remains left in the bottom of the boxes they came out of:; so thin hardly any meat and were cooked so crisp all it was crunchy pieces. We both ordered the augraton potatoes and the potatoes were still hard. The bus boy had his jeans hanging off his butt so all you saw was his underware. This place has really gone down hill. Probably won't be going back and if we do it will be a long time until we do. The best part of dinner was the Corona beers. read more

Heard a lot on Facebook about the Canton Inn , so we made the hour trip down to see what the hype was all about. The parking lot was full and the bar area had good music playing from a live band. We went to the main dining area and were greeted by a nice gentleman who promptly found us a table. Our waitress was nice and the menu extensive. Ordered the pork belly appetizer which was part the chef daily recommendation menu and not part of the regular menu I think. It was pretty delicious, especially the sweet chili sauce that came with it. I ordered the steak and ribs with steak fries, which was a ribeye and half rack of ribs, it was ok. Not bad in anyway, but not amazing like I had hoped. Maybe I had overhyped it in my mind, but I felt it was comparable to Texas Roadhouse. The steak needed a seasoning kick of any sort and the ribs were exactly like Texas Roadhouse. My wife on the other hand absolutely love her pride rib, which I agree was pretty tasty. She also loved the king crab legs she ordered. Her sweet potato soufflé, although not visually pleasing, was very delicious as well. My wife can't wait to go back and try the humongous lobster tail and I will probably go with the prime rib. I also hope to spend more time in the bar area as the atmosphere seemed really cool. read more

Had dinner 7/26/19. I had a party of six. For apps, we order seafood stuffed toasted rav's and onion rings. Onion Rings were great. Deep fried toasted raviolis were over battered and took away from the seafood stuffing and I would not recommend. For dinner, deep fried shrimp, chicken liver and pasta dishes were good. We had three steaks order and all were cooked to the desired temperature and all were tender but they had no flavor. It tasted like they were sous-vide with no seasoning. Service was good. I have eaten at this restaurant 3 prior times with great dinners and not sure I will go back until I hear better reviews. read more

Delicious food, great service, and just all in total the best one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, I would recommend it to so many people, it is a bit expensive but that is OK read more

Omg extremely awesome I love it and amazing service and food man I'll be back!!! and I really enjoy my meal on 4th of July

What a great find! Someone told me this place was great so, I went on a Saturday. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but, it's very nice inside. This is one of those out of the way places that you tend to want to find but seldom do. Had onion rings and they serving is Huge and they wear great. Had stuffed mushrooms as well and they were flavorful and tasty. My meal was steak and it was hand cut and a BIG portion and the twice baked potato was definitely worth the extra 2 bucks! Overall would definitely recommend and the staff was friendly and attentive. A worthwhile experience! read more
