George's Lounge - Spicy Jeorge Burger and fries - Bars Near Me - Canton, Ohio

Canton does not offer a ton of options for late-night dining. TGTG -- Thank God there's George's. I discovered this place a little more than a year ago and have eaten there at least once a week since (most frequently on Wednesdays, when they mark all their burgers down to just $5). The burgers aren't merely delicious; they're actually good for you, made from locally sourced grass-fed beef. The garlic fries, on the other hand, are probably really bad for you, but they taste so good you won't care. The jukebox is among Canton's coolest, as are the folks behind the bar. Excellent beer selection, moderate prices and live music that runs the gamut from great to gawd-awful. Outstanding dive bar vibe, and probably Canton's most age-diverse crowd, with tatted and pierced young hipsters in thrift-shop chic elbow-to-elbow with clean-cut young professionals in ties and collars. Would not be out of place in San Francisco or Manhattan's lower East Side. read more

George's Lounge - Garlic fries with a drizzle of balsamic dressing - Bars Near Me - Canton, Ohio

I'm surprised at all of the amazing reviews, not because of the food, because it is delicious. It's one of the only places to go late night when I come down after work and the food is normally spot on. But I guess you have to be a well-known regular to get good service. I expect it to be crazy on a weekend or First Friday but I've come down when it's almost dead and still waited 20 minutes to even be acknowledged because the bartenders are chatting it up with the regulars. There are 2 bartenders that are always spot on the rest are not interested or drunk on the job. I want to love this place but I need to be shown a little more love first. read more

I really want to give this bar a good review, but it's been so hit or miss with the food and service, I can't. The burgers in general are very good. However, it depends upon who's cooking them. 70% of the time, the burgers aren't seasoned at all. The service is mediocre. Of course it's going to busy during the $5 burger days. Of course it's a dive bar. But there are just some elements of service that are lacking...like getting another beer within 5 minutes of finishing one. If you get the big guy as your bartender, plan to be there for a while. Also plan on being thirsty. read more

Busy little bar. Friendly barmaids not pushy but right there when u want another. Didn't get food but it looked good and everyone who was eating didn't seem to leave anything on their plate. Good selection. read more

The best burgers in Canton! Everything is fresh & appreciate the local/grass fed beef. Fries, pretzel bites, chicken fingers are all great too! Try the kamikaze sauce! Wednesday's they have $5 burger & fries which you can't beat! This place has a definitely nostalgia & a great place to check out! Service can be a little slow, but always friendly & helpful! read more

This place has awesome food and service. The only negative is that the place is small and ran down.

Really I wanted to give 4 stars but the service is awful 9 times outta 10 so 3 stars it is. Food is outstanding, they have awesome specials and always very talented people on the stage. read more

Looks like a dive but has the burgers and regulars of a really solid bar!! Seriously, dem burgers doe.

This place is awesome. Super old school bar with great burgers, nice staff and a good beer selection. I got the three slider sampler to try a bit of everything and devoured them, and my friends really liked theirs. Good crowd too, some younger folks, some old timers. Cool spot. read more

Wow. I visited George's Lounge in my wayward youth - bar was a little sticky, light was a little dim, drinks were a little watery, and sometimes the only musical entertainment was a drunken bartender or owner, singing. All in all - good times. I wandered in a few nights ago (someone told me they now served food) from a concert at The Auricle (2 1/2 blocks away) and was pleasantly surprised. The food was good (some even locally sourced), the music was a national touring act, the bar was clean, and the vibe was more hip and eventful as opposed to watering hole. Well done on the new look and new direction. read more

Heard about this place from a friend of the family and it lived up to expectations. The place itself is on the smaller side but thats no problem, they play good music when there isn't a live performance, good service, and our burgers were amazing! Me and my dad both had the John Wayne and i was hooked on this place at first bite. Will definitely come back for more. read more

Best burger in town! The fact that I can go into George's at 1:50 in the morning, and have them encourage me to eat a burger, rather than act all pissed off that I'm there 10 minutes before the kitchen closes, is the reason why it's the best. Chelsea and friends are always welcoming and fun to have serving you. They recommend great items, and always have smiling faces. George's also let's the community jump in and have a say with their burger of the month contest on Facebook. Check it out! read more

Such a dissapointment. Poor service, poor food quality. Embarrassing to take friends from out of town. Ordered the burger of the month, turkey with an apple hash. Received an overdone beef burger on a pretzel bun. Once returned got the same burger back with the apple hash and cold slice of munster....nasty. ordered a milkshake, that dispite several questions to its whereabout, was told, "...well that's up to the kitchen if and when it comes out." Was told both would be taken off the bill, they werent. Tried to pay the check and ended up over tippping, as our group got tired of waiting for the waitress to return. Probably won't be back. read more

This is the greatest place in canton to get a burger. The staff is always extremely friendly and the service is quick. Definitely one of my favorites! There is also live entertainment most nights of the week! read more

When using the word "dive" bar, this place definitely fits that description. However, it is one of the coolest places little places I've ever been to. From the bar stools to the posters on the wall to the jukebox, this place takes you back to another time. We went on a weekday early evening just to grab a bite to eat. The burgers were delicious!! I got a salad that was also very good. The service was great as well. If you're looking for something fancy, I suggest going somewhere else. If you're looking for good food and a cool atmosphere, give this place a try!! read more

I absolutely love George's only one complain be prepared to wait a while for food. They are always busy and especially during events but so worth it read more

Back home for the weekend and decided to grab a drink at George's. Surprise...they just started serving burgers. Had to order one...and then had to order another! Fantastic burger and they serve until 2AM. Delicious! read more

Hands down the best late night food around. Serving until 2:30AM never tasted sooooo GOOD!!! Friendly staff and cheapest adult drinks around. It is nice to come to a bar and them remember who you are and what you like. They play live music frquently and hold art shows in there gallery/meeting room. What a turn around the new owners have made to this historic Canton bar! read more

Great food! We took a chance! So glad we did. Thai peanut sauce is amazing with sweet potato fries! Check out the bathroom make sure you have not been drinking too much when you go! :) service was outstanding! We will be back very soon! read more

Classic bar where you cant go wrong.. been stopping in here since old man george would sing us songs... been wanting to stop in and try a burger read more

Love this place! Kinda a dive bar with amazing food. Great beer selection and friendly service. King George burger, chicken waffle sandwich, Big Onesto, Thai burger all were awesome. The bathrooms are an experience to be missed but are said to be next on the remodel list read more

I love this place. Great burgers, the salads are ah may zing , beer is cold with an excellent selection. The worst part about the burger is when its finished. ..you can't eat another but god, do you want too. Staff is great , great atmosphere, great bands and - if no live music- an awesome selection on the juke box. If you live here there is no reason to not know about this place; if you are visiting do yourself a solid and hit it. read more

This place is fantastic! We stopped to eat here after seeing other positive reviews on Yelp, and were so happy that we did. The menu is creative, and the burgers we ordered were unique and delicious. The beer selection was good with some craft draught options. Our bartender/server Nick was so friendly and talked to us about our visit to Canton, and he recommended food and drink options. George's is a gem with a really great, old school atmosphere! read more

George's was serving breakfast at the Stark County Fair this Labor Day weekend 2017 and it had to be the worst meal my husband and I have ever eaten. The breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon or sausage and a piece of thick toast. The grill must have been filthy because the eggs were gray and tasted terrible. The hash browns were gray as well and so drenched in oil that there was a puddle on the plate and the potatoes were unrecognizable. The toast was brown on one side and the only edible thing on the plate. The bacon was shriveled and greasy as well with a strange flavor. We threw our food away and went over to the McKinley Band Boosters breakfast and it was so much better and you got twice as much food. We wasted $13 on the first terrible breakfast. read more

Overall, an incredible must-try place for burgers. Some room for improvement. The burger and portion sizes were perfect, not to mention unbeatable prices. The array of options for burgers was really superb, and how many places offer spiked shakes? Atmosphere was pleasantly unique - dive bar feel with weird music choice and old style feel. However, we did order some of the classic shakes, which were great but surprisingly weak in the flavor we ordered, and one had a touch of freezer burn taste from the frozen berries they used. The service was a tad slow, but not bothersome, and the food actually came quickly. read more

This place is a great burger joint! It's a small little old dive bar that has EXCELLENT burgers and fries! They use grass fed beef and local toppings. The King George and the Blue Ribbon are my favorite burgers. Handcut fries can be loaded with toppings. Try the blue ribbon beer cheese! It's great! Definitely one of my favorite downtown Canton eateries! read more

Would give 5 stars but the lunch crew over cooks the burgers. But still juicy and tasty. MR hasn't had any pink last 2 times I've ordered. Next time I'll ask for rare and see what it gets me. read more

Been here twice in the last few weeks and I really like it. The turkey burger is awesome, the fries are good too. They make quirky martinis so I love it :) read more

Cheap beer, Dive Bar but very clean, and the food was not bad. No tvs just good tunes and good conversation.

Great food semi-slow service. Seating for more than 4 groups is limited and you may need to split up. Especially on a Wednesday night. Food keeps me coming back. Especially on Wednesday when burgers are 5$. Burgers are awesome. Love the pretzel bite appetizer too! Solid 4 and a gem in downtown Canton. read more

The best fucking burger you will ever experience. A historical gem. A little slice of Americana.

Had the Hall of Flame burger and it was very good. Not quite as hot as I expected but still flavorful. Very retro atmosphere with retro music. read more

Staying downtown for #PFHOF 2018 and found this place within walking distance of hotel. Great surprise. Great service, laid back & food is great. Portions and timely! Got a burger. Its one of those can't set it down cause it will fall apart burgers. Perfect. PBR on draft, awesome. Ever in town again, this will be on the list. read more

Visiting from out of town. The food is yummy but a little inconsistent (better the first time than the second). The wait staff is always friendly and eager to please. read more

Awesome bar/ gastro pub. Amazing hamburgers. Its a bit small but its straight up old school dive kinda bar, so its understandable. When i've seen love music there its these funky blues bands doing hip-hop covers, so in other words, it's a lot of fun. It used to be dark and dingy but its been cleaned up totally worth checking out read more

if you want food with no taste then this is the best. I went there on 6 10 15 at 1.00pm I ordered a hamburger and fresh cut fries. the hamburger had no taste. the French fires were ok. I know johns bar and other restaurants that are better. I will not come back read more

3 out of the 4 times I've gotten food hear my order is messed up. Given completely incorrect orders, completely forgotten items, coleslaw that tastes like dry cabbage. The one time they got it right was delicious though! I'll probably continue to try and get food here...but I have low expectations. Super annoying. read more

This place was fun and the food is super great. I got the burger that was the special...Jolly Jamin Santa. It was perfect. Great martinis and Nick is such a nice guy. Perfect lunch. This is a great bar. Don't be deceived by the outside.... read more

George's Lounge - Bar shot. - Bars Near Me - Canton, Ohio

I've been going to George's for years and years -- literally about a decade -- and I've seen it through several big changes. This new George's, with all the awesome food, is fantastic. It's a little hole-in-the-wall dive bar, with friendly and colorful locals, awesome staff, and the coolest jukebox basically ever. Get a King George burger with a strawberry milkshake! read more
