Perfect spot for food and drinks. Great service as well! Burger deals on Wednesdays can't be beat and a Long Island was only $5. read more

George's Lounge - Bars Near Me - Canton, Ohio

I'm visiting from Texas. Man! Everywhere I searched named this joint as a top place for a burger in Canton. This place is pretty full of itself about its burgers with very little reason to be. "Geourmet burgers" my tail. I showed up right at five and was one of the first patrons in the door. The place is your typical bar... dark... with a huge ovular bar with the bartenders working within. I bet the ovular bar seats a minimum of 50. Some tables along the one wall. I ordered the '59 classic, added bacon. Upgraded my fries to the pigskin cowboy (bacon and cheese added, side of ranch). What came out was underwhelming. I'm big on burger proportions, but this patty, although well cooked (medium throughout) was smaller than the bun, which made for an awkward ratio. The patty felt like something commercially pre-formed and possibly made from frozen. The fries were not crispy...and I'm not sure how they added the cheese...but the side became one large ball of soggy fries glued together with barely melted cheese... Overall: service fast and friendly, but I'm not sure Ohioans know a good burger. It was just okay, bordering on disappointing. read more

My boyfriend has been trying to take me here for a long time and we finally had a chance to go. For as long as I've been with him, he's raved about their kale chips, so ordering those was a MUST. And oh my goodness....they were everything! Never would I have thought fried kale leaves could be THIS good. For my drink, I ordered the lemonade cocktail of the month and found it quite underwhelming. The lemon vodka and lemoncello flavor was lost with how much soda water was in the cocktail that it tasted super watered down. But the peach blackberry martini....that was DELICIOUS! My burger was good (although missing two toppings listed in the description) and the fries were perfectly done. My boyfriend got a completely different burger than he ordered but ate it anyway. I've heard from several people that this place was solid pre-covid but never rebounded, which is a shame. Would I go out of my way to come again... probably not. But I'd definitely stop back in if I'm in the area and order those kale chips. Probably two orders LOL I really struggled with my star rating on this one. A five would mean I was blown away. Four would mean the overall experience was great. Considering two of our burgers were wrong, the cocktail of the month wasnt anything special and the service being a little cold, I had to go with a three star. read more

I recently asked for recommendations for places in Canton who have burgers "that never miss" on my social media pages. George's was one of the places with the most votes on my poll so I had to give it a try. I've been looking forward to the Wednesday night Burger specials I keep seeing on local group pages as well. George's is located in downtown Canton surrounded by other local businesses and food establishments. The George's 59 Classic with fries definitely did not miss. It was a really good burger cooked to perfection and fries were delicious. Even though there was another table with kids, I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Ok...gotta draw the line. Gross. Ordered a specialty burger for carry out at what appears to be an iconic dive bar with fancy burgers. Something was chewy, and I thought it was flavorless bacon. Took another bite and realized I was eating wax paper that was cooked into the burger. Besides that, which is a lot to get past, burger was ok. Have to wonder how much a cook can absolutely NOT CARE to leave the wax paper on a burger, cook it, add toppings and put it on a bun and serve it. What else do they not care about in that kitchen? Disgusting. Carryout so I already left a tip and am not going back. Just call it a loss and moving on. read more

George's Lounge - Wax paper and yea I ate it before realizing. Nasty. - Bars Near Me - Canton, Ohio

Very cool place. Service was absolutely awful. I get it sometimes. It's a big bar for two people to cover. But it emptied out and didn't improve. Long wait to be acknowledged and even longer until I got a chance to request a menu. Long wait for food, which came out cold. It was a good burger, would have preferred it warm though. I'll give this place another shot sometime, but this was a very disappointing experience. One bartender was working hard but apparently not in my part of the bar. Other was bullshitting, talking to people while he hadn't spoken to me in 30 minutes read more

Inexpensive drinks, kind bartenders, this is a dive bar so set your expectations accordingly. Music was chill on a Friday night. I really loved the fried kale with Caribbean jerk seasoning get the large . Cheese curds were good. Also had the balsamic fries with a little $5 cocktail . read more

I'd like to start this by saying I wish I would've tried this place years ago! I recently came with a friend and was really impressed with the older style atmosphere and design of the place. The food was unbelievably good for the price you couldn't beat it. They have by far one of the best burgers in town and really great homemade fries! The servers were great very fast attentive and made great drinks! Will definitely be back :) read more

Great tasting, unique combinations on a perfectly cooked burger served along hand cut fries (other choices available) in a welcoming, interesting environment. Lots of parking (free) old movie posters, giant bar, and live music (unfortunately not on the Wednesday night we were there). Adult milkshakes and $5.00 drink specials topped off this really good experience for us as we were passing through Canton. read more

George's Lounge was a bit meh. It's been around for quite some time and it has a prestigious reputation. the burger was just okay. Kinda noisy, as expected, but the sauce overload killed the flavor. Not sure if I'll give it another shot. read more

We love coming to this long-standing establishment when we are in the mood for a good burger at a good price. The restaurant definitely gives off a divey feel but that's part of its charm. George's offers monthly burger and drink specials, alcoholic adult milkshakes, tasty sides like kale chips, fried cheese curds, and pretzel bites, and delicious grass-fed burgers served on fluffy pretzel buns. They have a plethora of house-made sauces to accompany their homemade snacks and burgers. Most weekends, they feature local music and if you download the Visit Canton Experience app, they post dining specials. We came for Canton Restaurant week and enjoyed two monthly drink specials, a shared app of cheese curds, and two burgers - one with kale chips and one with house cut fries - all for $36. Such a great deal! read more

Absolutely delicious burgers Live music and fabulous cocktails what more could you ask for!!!

Burger was as good as any I have has. And I have had many in many cities.. One bartender, in particular, took great care in preparing mixed drinks. Good food variety on menu. Comfortable seating and friendly ambiance. Very friendly customers. Good live music entertainment. read more

Great drinks and staff. Can be really crowded at times, but overall the staff never overlooks making sure you have what you need

Best burger beer place in Canton. If it's not on the menu just ask they will make. I like mangoes and sauce with bacon Good selection of beers from PBR to local craft Sometimes music can be too loud if seated close to stage. So we don't go during performances read more

Divey burger joint. I tried the grass-fed, local burger on the waffle with the spicy maple mayo. Fries are delicious and fresh cut. Shared the appetizer sampler and we tried the beer cheese dipping sauce. Really good stuff. Great, quick service. Diverse selection of draft beers. One complaint: it was incredibly hot in there. No a/c on a rare 90 degree day in September. I don't have cajones, but if I did it wouldn't matter, because I would have been sweating them off. Other than that: awesome. read more

I was disappointed with my food but my dinner partner liked their burger. I had the build your own burger and fries. The burger tasted and looked like a processed hamburger. The fries were good. My dinner mate had a specialty hamburger that appeared to be fresh. They loved the burger but not the onion rings. The service was good and the atmosphere was good. I will give them another try, but with a different burger. read more

Absolutely the "best burger" in town. The Onesto Burger with the fried egg and hand cut fries brought tears to my eyes.

Definitely one of the better places in the area to get a burger. I got the King George Burger (blue cheese crumbles, jerk spice, bacon, sauteed mushrooms, egg bun) and really enjoyed it. The crispy bacon complimented the creamy blue cheese well and added a totally different dynamic to the burger. The meat was cooked to a medium as asked and tasted great. I upgraded my side order of hand cut fries to the "Italian Festival" option covering the fries with garlic, herbs, and balsamic reduction. Unfortunately I was looking more for a garlic fries option and although this one was suggested, the balsamic flavor was definitely overpowering. If this is something you're looking for though, I would definitely recommend it. Talking prices, the burger is definitely worth its price at $8.99. Coming from Los Angeles, I'm used to paying $12+ for the exact quality and taste. There was an additional charge of $3 for the upgrade on the fries which was worth it in my opinion. The only cost that surprised me was the normal sized (20 oz) bottled Sprite I added that came out to $3. Overall, definitely enjoyed my experience and I will be back in the future. The best burger I've had in the entire Canton area without a doubt. read more

BEST burgers in Canton, Ohio. George's has always been a Downtown Canton staple, and continues to deliver. I love getting a Bloody Mary and The Big Onesto burger. read more

We had a great experience visiting George's Lounge! A wonderful beer, burger, fries, and maple cream milkshake. Staff was friendly and attentive. It was on the warm side as I had read in other reviews, but I'll take that for a great overall experience. read more

The burgers are amazing, but don't sleep on the fried pickles. The adult milkshakes are also to die for. Live music anywhere anymore is a surprise, but a pleasant one. Always have a good time, the bartenders are fun and friendly. Bathroom is a little small, but absolutely worthwhile spot. read more

The best burger's in Canton, and great kale chips and fresh cut fries. Laid back little restaurant/bar. Good prices. Friendly staff. Two thumbs up! read more

I don't have any photos but we stopped at George's after a long afternoon of walking around Canton. Great selection of craft beers and the chicken tenders are the best I've ever had. We also picked up some fries, onion rings, and kale chips. All were A+ and the staff were all super friendly. I definitely recommend this place if your out and about and famished downtown! read more

Awesome place to get a good burger and have a nice atmosphere! I like their options, the unique sauce they make is good onEVERYTHING!

I kept seeing good reviews for George's so I finally gave it a shot and boy am I glad I did. Although George's is nestled away in downtown canton parking was not an issue. When we walked in the energy of this place was noticeable, there was such a wide variety of people in here enjoying delicious food, drinks and company of their friends/family. I ordered the o'nesto with cheese curds and my boyfriend ordered the gorgeous George on a pretzel bun with fries. We got our food very quick and the staff was so friendly and attentive. I still can't believe how big these burgers were. Everything was cooked perfectly and came out hot and fresh. Aside from making the best burger I've ever had I love that the kitchen is open until 2am and they have live music most nights. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone. read more

Just came back here for the first time since the shutdown. Place has slowed down quite a bit, but their burgers are still the best in town! Kind of nice too, to have a more peaceful/relaxing environment. Definitely a blast when it was busy but still just lovely. read more

George's Lounge is truly a gem. Originally from the area and home for Thanksgiving, my friends suggested we check this place out. Outcome? I have decided to make a George's Lounge trip a priority every time I am home. No, seriously. I love it. Such an interesting menu, ESP for someone like me that is a condiment junkie. George's is pumping out the most beautiful lists of sauces I have ever laid my eyes on. It is incredible. We each picked a dipster to try with a big basket of fries and the best was by far the spicy thai peanut (waitress recommendation)! Delish! I ordered the spicy thai chicken salad (I know, I know..with all of the delectable burger choices I went with a boring ass salad) BUT in my defense, it was amazing. Wasabi ranch was perfect with the thai chicken! Two of my homies got the John Wayne and devoured it. My other homie got the Tree Jumper and said it was one of his favorite things he had eaten! SO you get it, the food is fun and delicious and the beer selection was pretty good as well. Now let's talk about the vibe of this place. Super relaxed and carefree. SO much fun. Our waitress was amazing. She even started dancing and singing with us at one point. There was a guy playing guitar and he was outstanding. My fiance developed a man crush on him and bought him a few beers. He was great entertainment and really gave the place a special feel. I love this place. YO George's...you are killing it. Thanks for existing! read more

I had a meal at George's Lounge today. The burger was not cooked how it was ordered and onion rings were horrifying. When the waitress asked how thr meal was I asked her about the onion rings. She stated that the frying grease was old and that is why they looked the way thry did . They did not try to make it any better. I paid and tipped the standard 20 percent and left hungry. I will not return. read more

Stopped here after the pro football hall of fame and had a great lunch. The burgers were fantastic and the boozy shakes are a bonus. I love finding great places that you may not choose. There was also live music while we were there. read more

Stopped in today for lunch. Hot inside with no air conditioning. Ordered a New York dog, fries and a side salad. Waited a half hour for food to arrive and when it did the fries were cold. The table service is cheap plastic knives and forks with plastic carry out containers instead of real table service. The plastic knives couldn't even cut the hot dog. The waitress never came to ask how the food was or to even bring the check. I had to go to the bar to ask for the check. This was my 2nd visit there and it was not any better than my 1st visit. It's a dive. Looking at their reviews I wonder if I was even in the same place as they reviewed. This place is off my list for good. read more

Like everyone says, great burgers, cold drinks, and shakes! Fun place to hang out for a quick date.

As good as it gets. Combine perfectly made burgers, great beer selection, one big bar to sit around, dive bar surroundings, and live music. Not many cities get to have dives this good. A gem. Worth the trip. Bring someone fun! Yeah...those burgers a damn delicious. read more
