The food is delicious -- service was excellent - ambiance is beautiful. Great renovation to the historic Jones Building in Downtown Canton. The Caprese salad was one of the best I've had. Nice and fresh. The Italian Sub also got great reviews. read more

POPS Canton - Caprese Panzanella Salad & The Daily Grind sandwhich ( Italian cold cuts) with Pasta Salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Canton, Georgia

I moved to the canton area a year ago and wanted to try POPs with my son. I had been at home recovering from surgery and decided to give it a try. we ordered Spaghetti with meatballs and a Caesar salad with crispy chicken. Two very basic meals. The spaghetti sauce was under whelming and the spaghetti noodles were as big around as a #2 pencil. There was so much anchovy in the Caesar dressing that I could Not eat it. The chicken was also very dry. At $18 for spaghetti and $17 for the salad, we will definitely not be back. The staff was very nice. read more

I have been to Pops 3 times. Everything I have ordered has been so fresh and taste wonderful.The staff is always so kind.I love this place.

I was initially a bit skeptical, but the food won me over. The ambiance is classy, but you order at the counter and you get your own flatware, napkins, etc. at a shared service station. There is also a little shop in the center of the dining area with the seating arranged in a U around it. There is no outside seating, and the restroom is accessed by exiting the back of the restaurant to a shared hallway. The menu variety is on the small side and despite some great looking bread on display in the prep area, there is no way to get it as a side (it's only for sandwiches). Also, drinks are in cans or bottles and that includes iced tea. So the only item with refills is tap water in a plastic cup. But on the upside the staff are very friendly and the food was delicious. I had the Norcina and the freshness of each ingredient was evident and the flavors were great. The portion was good as were those of the salads. My wife had the chopped salad and enjoyed hers immensely, while I had the Caesar. read more

First time here and it was awesome. Very good food, excellent staff. Would definitely be back read more

I am so happy to hear of family businesses coming into the community. With the arrival of POPS there was a lot of local excitement and I had to check it out. The space is beautiful! It is so bright and clean and elegant without being stuffy and pretentious. There is a market are with some tasty options for creating an Italian delicacy at home. When you walk in, menus are available to peruse while waiting to place your order. The process moved quickly. Everyone in my party ordered the Primo sandwich. It is a roast pork with broccoli rabe and provolone akin to the heavenly roast pork sandwich from Philly. Everything on the sandwich complimented each other perfectly! You could taste every individual item but all came together in a beautiful way. And let's talk about the bread...the bread quality can make or break a sandwich...POPs bread just made the whole meal sing! I think I made sounds of yums and mmm's with every bite. The pasta chips were fun and a great accompaniment! The sauce was tomatoey marinara style but had a sweet and spicy aspect to it. It was so good! To top off the good eats, I had the Cab Driver (frozen coffee with espresso and a chocolate liquor) and it was another home run. The owner, Andy was hustling around his gem taking care of customers, clearing and cleaning tables all while greeting and checking in with everyone. I cannot sing the praises of POPS enough and wish them many many years of happy success! *no picture of the sandwich because I couldn't restrain myself when it arrived. read more

My wife brought me a meatball sub from this place today. It was tightly wrapped in foil like something you'd buy in a gas station with a label applied stating it was a meatball sub. Obviously frozen meatballs, soggy roll with bland, mundane taste and consistent with a road house dive. Never again. read more

EXCELLENT FOOD! Fun atmosphere! Service is great! Family owned- locally owned, owners are present! Super nice people! We have been there a few times now, have not been disappointed! read more

Went back again and got the same dish...it was so good, the Norcina. I asked to add kale this time and they said YES! So, it looks like they're growing in what they can accommodate! The noodles were a little overdone this time but everything was just so so good again, great service, friendly staff, beautiful space. This is a new solid fave in Canton for SURE! If you haven't tried it yet you are missing out! read more

We had a wonderful dinner and great experience with the staff, our meals and salad were excellent and enjoyed a bottle of wine. Love this downtown restaurant read more

This is a good dining addition to downtown Canton. When you walk in it feels inviting and clean. Brighter decor and plenty of windows it's one of this spots that could be lunch, a date night, or relaxed and casual dining with friends. My wife and I went for lunch and had sandwiches which were generous and delicious. We returned with friends another time for dinner and between the four of us had pasta, salads, and sandwiches. The food tasted of fresh ingredients and the service was terrific. Sure, you order at the counter but they bring it out to you and are very kind, welcoming, and professional. A couple of tables are community style, others are 2 or 4 tops, and then there are some cushioned and comfy chairs for just having coffee or a beverage. The background music is great, both times we've been there was some jazz playing and it was perfect volume so you could still enjoy conversation without leaning in or elevating your voice. Surprising for such an airy place. The owners are friendly and gracious. We arrived at 7:30 one evening and they let us stay past their 8pm closing (we didn't realize they were closing at 8) without giving us the fish eye, in fact they suggested we stay and enjoy as they had work to do. We'll be back. read more

Chicken tasted like it had been cooked a week ago and was reheated. Tomatoes on my sandwich were extremely underipe. Service was fine, order at the counter and sit down kinda place. Restaurant is visually quite simple, but nice nonetheless. read more

Such a great place in downtown Canton, Ga - Wife and I stopped in for lunch the other day; had the pork with broccoli and sausage and peppers. Service is counter walk up which is perfect and was welcomed by smiles and a great staff. Overall decor is perfect for that great spot offering sandwiches, pasta and salads in beautiful Canton Ga where you can shop and dine. If you're in the area this is a must check out, you will not be disappointed - staffed wonderfully with great food and excellent family location. read more

First thing to say is "I'm and old school diner. I prefer to be seated to order and my wine served in a glass not a plastic cup. The 30 somethings in my family love this place.. me not so much. Food is inline with Jimmy John's complete with sandwiches delivered to your table wrapped up. It's a family owned place and the service is friendly and fast and a great atmosphere... but for this 60 year old all I can see is the potential it could have.... read more

I was looking forward to trying Pops in Canton! As much as I was hoping it was going to be awesome I wish I could give it a better review. The staff were very pleasant and patient taking our order and answering our questions. The area inside is large and inviting. I ordered a meatball sandwich. For the price of $14.00, for 2 lukewarm meatballs with a single piece of thin cheese that was barely melted and presented on a plate with nothing else on it, no greens, no chips etc. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. It's possible that because it's a new restaurant there will be a learning curve as to what works and what doesn't. I will wait a few weeks and try it again because I truly hope that things improve and they remain open. read more

Had the Norcina (sausage, mushrooms and trenne pasta), Bolognese (pork and beef with mafalde pasta) and Caesar salad. All were very good except that there were only five tiny pieces of sausage in the Norcina. Come on, owner. Understand food cost, but five tiny pieces? Will return but will ask for improved dish. read more

P.O.P.S. is delicious! The Eggplant Parm in Vodka Sauce was so yummy and the portion was generous for the price. The staff was friendly and hospitable from start to finish. The atmosphere is fabulous. The restaurant has a variety of seating to accommodate everyone from business cocktails/lunches to family dinners and date nights. A great new restaurant in Canton! read more

It truly marked the perfect start to our wedding weekend. Thank you again--y'all are definitely part of our family now! With gratitude, Jason and Kimberly read more

What now resides in the old Jones Mercantile building, is a wonderfully family owned and operated Italian resistant. I am so glad to see such a wonderful business in downtown canton! Food is phenomenal, especially for the price point. Parking is going to be tight, but it's well worth it. I think this has become all of downtown Canton's new lunch spot! (not complaining) Thank you for giving the community another way to support local. I not longer have to cook chicken parm, or spend $22 at a corporation that doesn't actually care about food quality! This place is going to be here for a long time, and I so look forward to it! Please stop by and give them a try, it is well worth it! read more

I've done lunch and dinner now at POPS. The overall vibe is distinctively modern yet warmly vintage. Staff have been friendly, helpful and darn well pleasant in a time when so many are lacking personality. Let's get to the food! It is truly fantastic, fresh and well executed. As I recall they make everything in house except the delicious bread, which they acquire from a local baker. The pasta is a showstopper. The salads are main course worthy. The beverages are Italian and perfectly curated to match the outstanding cuisine. And they sell hard to find Italian baking items. I love this place! read more

Very nice place. Excellent setting. Service was absolutely amazing. Andy was super nice. The food was the best Italian in the canton area. I got the Chicken Parmesan (See Picture) it was amazing. Show this place some love! read more

We have been coming to POPS for over a year and they have earned every star you can possibly give them.

The owner and staff are incredibly nice. The restaurant has a great ambiance. Absolutely make this your next dinner. read more

POPS Canton - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Canton, Georgia

The atmosphere was very elegant and absolutely beautiful. They did a wonderful job with decorating. We got the Caesar salad, which was good. But just note that it is a true Caesar salad so it does have the fish taste to it. We also got the Hey Frankie sub which was very very good. We had the choice to have the marinara on the sub or not and we asked for it on the side. It didn't even need the marinara, had enough flavor and juice. Bread was very good and toasted so had a nice crunch to it. We also got the chicken parm. It was very crispy and the chicken was full of flavor and very very yummy. The noodles were good, I personally think they were a little over cooked, but still absolutely amazing. I just wish I had a tiny bit more sauce to noodle ratio. However, I'm sure if you asked, they would give you some more. Overall, this was a nice little restaurant to try in downtown canton. I am very excited to go back and try their breakfast! read more

The food came out fast, fresh and hot. Very well seasoned and thick compared to those other bland watery marinaras. I was an industrial vacuum cleaner inhaling the chicken Parmesan. Super friendly staff. I came in a little confused as to what to get, and a gentleman helped navigate me through the menu options before ordering. I did not feel rushed at all. At the end of our meal, he came over and asked if everything was good. It was excellent. I highly recommend this place. read more

Everything is great. Such a wonderful addition to downtown. The food is delicious, their frozen drinks are amazing and the service is top notch. The restaurant has wonderful light, airy surroundings. read more

I loved this place. The only reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 is because I don't like ordering at a counter! The food was fresh and delicious. The manager checked on me a few times to make sure I was happy. The wait staff brings the food to the table, which is nice. I had the winter squash with broccolini and sausage. Very good. They make their pasta there and it is delicious. There are a few cute little upholstered chairs to sit and have a glass of wine and several tables. The menu was interesting with many unique pasta dishes, sandwiches, and salads to choose from. read more
