Friendly & attentive service. Fried herbed goat cheese appetizer was flavorful. Shrimp diavolo pasta was spicy but not too hot. Roasted beet & blue cheese salad was delicious - especially enjoyed the warm polenta cake. Seasonal dessert of lemon pound cake was a perfect ending. Prices were very reasonable for the quality. Definitely will be back. read more

I really love this place, been twice and got the nightly special both times and I've been so impressed!!!

Food was good, I'll be back and next time I will definitely take pix! I had the chicken rolls, and although it was listed as an appetizer, it definitely served as my lunch. Great portion, flavored just right, not too greasy and not too dry. I will definitely order some time again. My daughter had the fish tacos, as soon as she said there might be something she didn't like in it, I went to grab the last taco and my hand still hurts from the smack I got :). My wife had the pancakes, the portion was big enough that I ate what she didn't finish. :). That's why I didn't get to try the cheesecake empenadas. I'm looking forward to trying them my next go round. And I definitely will be going back! read more

Great place to sit on the patio or inside. It happened to be one of the few spots open on the square on a Sunday so we gave it a try. Very glad we did. Our server was so personable and seemed to really love working there. That says a lot about an establishment. Definitely check out the live band!! That was a treat! read more

We tried this place for lunch before going to the Mill at Etowah to shop. I ordered the German Burger. There was nothing German about the burger but I ordered it because I saw the burger on the plate of another customer and it looked delicious. It was! Two patties of beef with an egg, other toppings, and their special tomato jam. Yummy! My wife had the Brunch special omelet with mushrooms and Gruyere cheese. The omelet was supposedly made with five eggs. It didn't seem that large, more like a standard 3-egg omelet but she was satisfied and had leftovers. The service was friendly and attentive. read more

Wowwww!!! My husband & I had been to Local on North previously but coming here for my birthday with my husband & parents was the best decision! Our waiter John did a fantastic job accommodating us. We had the goat cheese croquette, wings, veal meatballs, onion soup, Mediterranean chicken pasta, steak tacos, salmon & the brunch scramble with smoked duck, crème brûlée & bread pudding. Literally everything we ordered was amazing! I totally recommend coming here! It's a fun family farm to table style restaurant! read more

My wife and I have eaten many times at LON over the years with no issues but our experience on Christmas Eve was horrible. I hate to write negative reviews but....... We had a 5:45 reservation for our family of 5. Sitting in the dark dungeon of the basement and waiting 55 minutes for our dinner after we ordered was just icing on the cake,. My son and I ordered the rib eye steak special with Mac n cheese, my wife ordered a salad with salmon , my daughter and youngest son burgers.. When the food was brought out my plate and my sons plate were cold to the touch. The steaks, Mac n cheese and asparagus on both plates were all cold. Not luke warm , not even a little warm but literally cold. No exaggeration! My wife's salad with salmon was good and the burgers were good. When the waitress came by I notified her of the issue and she just looked at me and shrugged. I asked to speak with a manager and off she went. 20 minutes later no one came by the table. We needed to be somewhere at 8 pm so I flagged the waitress down and asked for the check and I walked out $330 poorer but wiser as I will never give these folks my money again! This Could have been a fluke / bad night but when a manager will not come by the table to talk about the issue or when no one offers a resolution to a fairly expensive problem then it seems they don't need my business. read more

We had a rather great experience at Local on North. Started out with some tasty local adult beverages. Moved on to bang bang shrimp as an appetizer. (Not the best bang bang we've had but nonetheless delicious). Had the pork tenderloin which was delicious and the appearance on the plate was flawless. Wife had chicken which she said was delicious. Only downfall was it was our date night and we were in and out in under 30 mins. I traditionally love these experiences but in this case, we had to eat up some time at another establishment. read more

Had dinner with my wife food was excellent as was the service. I had the roasted pork special it was excellent . Try the beet salad also excellent read more

Although the food and servers are wonderful, the owner(s) and management fall very short. They appear to be more concerned with overcharging customers, yet fail to realize they are actually losing money. I was dining with a friend and we wanted a smaller meal and decided to share an entree which cost $26 on the menu. When we received the bill, we were charged a sharing fee, which was supposedly on the menu, but also charged a non disclosed double "up charge" for two offered subbed side items making the entree $39.50 On a different occasion, I ordered a cup of soup and a side of risotto. The waiter informed me that they would not serve me a side item and would only charge me for an entrée of the side item for $18. Who in their right mind pays $18 for a side of risotto? Not me! I politely declined and ate my cup of soup resulting in a bill of around six dollars. The restaurant lost out on a larger sale all because they wanted to charge me more money and did not appreciate the business I was bringing to their establishment. It's a restaurant with great food who loses money over the stupidity of management. read more

Fresh high quality food. We go every time we're in the area. Love starting out with the beet salad. Great menu.

While we were enjoying a canton visit, we opted to dine for a late lunch at this joint. Trendy, seems to fit the bill. Sat at the bar in hopes of a quicker service. But received good but slower service. Server seemed a bit harried since he was covering the most tables in the front of the restaurant. But still offered his services with a smile. Wondering why the person seemingly in charge seems to be wandering around, clearly no sense of urgency for direction from this guy... ordered a house style old fashioned, interesting flavor but still a bit too sweet for my taste. My wife and I started the lunch with a great tasting goat cheese appetizer she moved onto a crab cake sandwich, tasty bind, real lump crab. Savory sauce and a great flavorful bun. I enjoyed the ahi tuna burger, cooked on the rarer side and really enjoyed the ginger dressing that came with a topping of field greens on a soft bun. Fries were fresh cut and twice fried to a crispy finish. That was great. We enjoyed being there but can see it could be a pretty pricey experience. Two beverages plus two beers one app, two sandwiches- total tally over 100 dollars. We would go back when the menu changes. read more

My friend and I went there on a quiet Monday night. Annaliese was our server. She was spot on with descriptions and recommendations. We ordered the bahn mi egg rolls which were so good. Honestly, we could've plowed through 3 or 4 platefuls of those things! We both got shrimp tacos which were equally wonderful, although that chipotle sauce definitely has some heat on it. (you might want to get it on the side) We will be back, but will probably check out their other location on the Marietta Square because it's closer to my home. read more

A fun place in downtown Canton. The food is amazing as is the service. Sitting in the restaurant is pleasant. I's not loud so you can have a conversation. I know they have live music but I've never been there when someone was playing. I was frequently at their Roswell restaurant, The Fix and that's where I got to know the owners just a little bit. I didn't know they were in Canton until I ran into them when eating lunch (try the onion soup and thank me later). Glad we have them in Canton now. And check out their two restaurants at the Mill, Magnolia and Nava. They are great as well but it's the owners that make it. Trickle down works in more than just economics. read more

The food is very good but my friends and I quit going there a couple of years ago because the wine pour was the worst in downtown Canton. The last time I was there, I sat at the bar. When I was ready to leave, I got a to go order. I asked the server if she could put the croutons separately so they wouldn't get soggy in the salad. She seemed very irritated by my request and proceeded to tell me the croutons would be just fine on top of the salad and I didnt need a seperate container for them. I tip very well and have a great relationship with my servers in Canton and Woodstock. I never went back to this restaurant. read more

We generally love the food, service and atmosphere however there are a few menu items that could use some tweaking. The portioning of the goat cheese appetizer is barely enough to appreciate the flavor, and the onion soup was a little bland and may fair better with a more traditional presentation. read more

Went in for Sunday brunch with a friend and I'll start with parking... There is no parking out front so you'll probably pass up the location and have to circle around a few times before you realize that there is parking in the back. There desperately needs to be some kind of signage IMO. Also it's free to park for the businesses that aren't the court house per our server. Upon finally parking and walking around the building to the entrance we were greeted by a hostess asking if we had a reservation and we did so we were seated immediately. Lots of older couples and friends seemly frequent this place. Our server came right over and greeted us and offered us waters and asked if we knew anything else we would want to drink and of course we said MIMOSAS and he offered the bottomless option (about $20) and we agreed. I will say we went during covid and it felt weird that he would take away our glasses and bring out a new one (slowly may I note although there wasn't very much champagne in the glasses). We had about 6 total each and blahhhh. Now to the food... everything we had was bland like seriously bland. I originally planned to order the steak and eggs but there was a menu item that was listed on the wall that caught my eye and instead I ordered the country fried steak with gravy (it was like a drop of gravy spread evenly over the meat and def not the usual way the item is) served with scrambled eggs, and fries for $15. FYI's - the seating didn't feel 6ft apart but they may have been (we are still in a pandemic at the time of this review). The servers and employees all wore masks thankfully although some of the customers did not upon entry. The restrooms were also very clean and stocked appropriately although only 2 unisex restrooms for the entire space. read more

Did not disappoint. Atmosphere is great, really cute place. Service was ok to good. Salmon sandwich was on point. Very good. Huge pile of fries. It's a little spendy for what it is but probably worth it for the whole experience. A great addition to Canton. read more

I made reservations for Mother's Day on Open Table and there was NO notification of a special buffet menu with pricing. Whenever there is a chance people should be notified prior to booking. read more

We've eaten here several times and have tried several different things on the menu, all of which I would say are decent. The fries are always fresh and hot, in fact almost everything we've had has been hot, but I find the food in general sounds more unique than it is. The food also comes out so fast that I have to suspect that much of it is premade and only heated up when ordered, You cannot cook and plate a burger with fries and garnishes in less than 5 minutes unless some tricks are used. Service has been decent and attentive, but the prices charged, especially for the size of the servings is a bit much. We tend to go more often at lunch, just to avoid the crowd in the evenings. We made reservations for six adults and two children on a Saturday evening; when we got to the restaurant, we had to wait at least 20 minutes before being seated and then they said they were seating us on the lower level. I was upset because it felt like the kids weren't really welcome. In the end, this was actually a blessing; the restaurant has live music on weekends, and that particular day they had a drummer. The restaurant has high ceilings and noice just reverberates around the dining room, but downstairs the music was muffled so conversation was possible. the I like supporting small business and I enjoy being able to support Cantons efforts to revitalize their downtown area with unique dining and shopping experiences. Local on North is fine and a departure from the ordinary, but not spectacular. read more

Best eggs benedict hand down! Their chicken & biscuits was a winner for my grandson!! He's pretty pick so that says alot. Grand daughter had pizza & I tried a piece (not a fan of pizza) and it was as good as I had in Italy. Will definitely be back!! read more

This place gets the ever elusive 5 stars. Hubs definitely hit the ball out of the park with this selection. When he said we were headed to Canton, I can't lie, I was a little nervous. I started racking my brain trying to think of what's up there. Now I know: Local on North. It's a super cute place with ample bar space and intimate tables. Rick ensured we were seated quickly, even though we were a little late. We had reservations and were glad we did. The place filled up quickly. Zach was our waiter and took excellent care of us. I started with a blood orange old fashioned that was a little sweet for my taste, but I drank it anyway, cause bourbon. We started with the bang bang shrimp and it was great. For dinner, I ordered the crab cakes and hubs ordered the pork. We both cleaned our plates! I am hard on crab cakes, and I give these 2 thumbs up. They were seasoned well and had very little filler - the only thing that would have taken them to the next level was lump meat. Now onto the pork. I asked for a little taste and went back for more twice. It melted in my mouth and the sauce was wonderful. I never order pork at a restaurant but will next time we go. The dessert selections were to die for but we were literally bursting at the seams. Maybe next time. I was super excited to learn that there's one in Roswell, so we'll give that one a try next since it's so close to home. read more

Delicious menu, good prices, atmosphere is clean and fresh. Love date nights here or taking new friends to some local joints.

We stopped by for their live music on Sunday night and were very happy we did! The entertainment was great and the food and drinks couldn't have been better! We had quite a few things and enjoyed everything, but our favorites we're definitely the Fried Goat Cheese Croquette, the Made Right Onion Soup and the Fried Chocolate Cake! We definitely recommend trying this restaurant out if you haven't already! read more

What was not to love! Fab service, great food, live music and awesome drinks. Def returning with the family over and over.

I went for the first time today. We waited at the bar for our friends for dinner. The bartender was not friendly. Not even a half smile. We sat at the table after actively looking for someone to take us there. Two waters had a hair and the other with a particle floating in it. My dish looked and tasted good EXCEPT half way through I pulled a hair out of my mouth. Over priced and not clean. I won't be back. read more

Great little hidden gem in Downtown Canton. We love the onion soup and their crab cakes. Also the best servers in town. They have a great reception area for parties as well. read more

Love the food and atmosphere. Great live music as well. Hidden gem that you have to try.

Our first visit: The fries, according to my family were the best they've ever had. That alone is worth 2 stars. The 3rd star was earned by the best margarita, says my picky mother in law. The 4th star was due to the dessert: we had the fried chocolate cake, cheese cake empanada, and banana bread pudding. All of which were delicious. I stopped at 4 stars because our server knew nothing about the menu. She wasn't new, she just had never eaten the food. It didn't matter if we were asking about drinks, desserts, or entrees the answer was the same: "i don't know" she later admitted that "I've never had it" and people "often tell her" that she needs to try the food. Apparently she never listens to her customers. How a person has worked at a restaurant for longer than 1 month and never tried the food is surprising. read more

My boyfriend had the burger which was absolutely delicious (the best tasting burger I've had in a while!). I wanted to trade plates, since I got the Cesar salad which was also very delicious! Service was good as we went for an early lunch. read more

Welcome to Cherokee County's best new restaurant in fine dining. Beautiful restaurant build out; beautifully full bar; private back patio; and beautiful live music on Friday & Saturday nights starting at 7:30 PM. Excellent mussels with garlic bread & hearty pizza ($18) were great! Excellent service. Tip: Back door remains unlocked for anyone parked in the big lot in the back. Friday night was packed, so sure to get your reservation in. Otherwise, it's be the bar for you. Only drawback that nobody seemed to mind, the seating is tight. read more

Had to try this place, date night with friends, sat outside. Super cute & relaxed atmosphere. Our waiter Grant was great, food didn't disappoint. We started with yummy mussels, shrimp tacos were amazing. Pizzas incredibly satisfying and so were the crab cakes. To finish it off we decided to end the night with creme brulee. They have live music always fun. read more

Waiting to order as I write this. Wasn't greeted at the door, had to ask for a menu at the bar since I figured I'd seat myself since the host couldn't be bothered. I'm hungry and irritated that I haven't been able to order food yet even though there seems to be 2 guys behind the bar and only 6 people sitting at the bar. I'll finish the review after I have food and am not so hangry..... okay, I had the bang bang shrimp and Southern Caesar. It was okay. Not sure I'll be back. BTW, both the bartenders have disappeared. Not sure how to pay the check that hasn't arrived. They must be on a break. read more

Everything was fab! Headed to our usual and found it closed. When checking the menu outside got a thumbs up from a woman at the bar and an invite in from the owner. Meals are large and fantastic. We loved the crab cakes!!!! Great night out. Will come again. Decor is modern and very cool. read more

Local On North - New American Near Me - Canton, Georgia

This has easily become my favorite restaurant. The food is heavenly especially the soups and the dinner specials. The atmosphere is very relaxing clean and has a great vibe from a restored rustic building. The service is top notch and very attentive. Especially one waiter, Jovahn. We ask for him when we come in. Once we were dining and were unaware that he was working and he made an effort to come by our table to say hello. He remembered that we are Green bay packer fans. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the unbelievable desserts. If you mange you have any room left in your tummy after the generous portions of your meal . I highly recommend the bread pudding. I hope to see you there you won't be disappointed. Reservations are r read more

This place is amazing! Great entertainment, wonderful staff. Cold drinks & dinner is always great.

Came in on a much needed day off to enjoy a cocktail and some lunch. Was going to have some people meet me there. I arrived early, sat at the bar and ordered a drink and an appetizer. I took one sip of the drink and sat it down and pushed it forward. They were not busy at all yet the bartender couldn't be bothered. He was too busy on his phone. I eventually had to get his attention and just asked for my check. He looked right at the drink I clearly did not like and said nothing. He never checked on me once... called the people I was meeting and changed location due to the lack of service abs drinks. There is a reason you measure the ingredients you put in a drink. Over-pouring a drink ruins it. read more

I almost fell out of my chair when I received the $212.00 bill plus A $30 tip I left, for a subpar Mother's Day buffet. 3 adults, one child (which they still charged me an adult price for my 12 year old) UPDATE: GG the owner reached out to me right away and wanted to make things right and she did! I am looking forward to trying out Local On North again with a clear and open mind. This is the type of owner I really want to support & look forward to doing so. I'll update my review again in the near future. Thanks again GG. UPDATE AGAIN: GG was true to her word and so I am. I took my mom to brunch today and we tried here again.... First, the staff and our waiter were on point... The food & drinks were outstanding, and I mean OUTSTANDING!!!! The menu choices are just fabulous and their wings, mussles & rice pudding (we had 5 different, awesome dishes) we LOVED!!! Thank you GG for winning us back and you are soooo right your husband is an outstanding chef! We will most definitely be back. And you have become one of my top favorite restaurants! Casey is so AWESOME!! Ask for his section next time you go!!!!! read more

Philip makes a good drink, doesn't bother you too much but I enjoy a silent service for the most part. Grouper tacos were skimpy on the fish, had to combine fish to make a full taco lol. I don't think anyone cared too much about it either. At $6 a taco that shouldn't be my problem. Pico is all tomato and over used on everything by the way. read more
