The beer is world class. Had a couple and the standout was a toasted marshmallow stout. Couple of weird things. I would highly recommend trying every beer there. I definitely plan to. They seemed super laid back with how they serve. They encourage you to just order at the bar if you can't find your waiter. We had multiple waiters, also it was self seating and it was very busy so it was super unorganized in there. Lots of people wandering around the dining room and outside looking for seating and hovering around tables waiting for people to leave. A hostess that sat customers could have really helped because it was awkward. The atmosphere is great. well decorated, comfortable seating as well. The food was also outstanding. Just got a flatbread and some bruschetta and it was the perfect summer snack to pair with their outstanding beers. The thing that I didn't like was the location. Way off the highway in a strip mall. The crowd was weird and pretentious (Jackson crown) which isn't the fault of the brewery at all but you shouldn't expect a lot of "down to earth" people to be there. I hope that they open a location in Akron, downtown Canton, or even Cleveland area. The brewery itself gets 5 stars though. Great food, outstanding beer, laid back service (maybe to a fault), perfect atmosphere, crappy location. Lets me honest: all that matters is that the beer knocks your socks off, and this place delivers that sock-knocking-offness I look for. Great job Royal Docks! read more

Gets better every visit. Nice selection of notable brews, varied menu of interesting selections. Very busy on the weekends but worth the drive to Canton. Had a band the nite we were there, wish they didn't. Too loud and not very good. read more

Excellent, unique beers. Interesting menu - not fancy, but eclectic for Canton, Ohio. I'm having The Royal Jewels - 4 Jumbo meatballs served open-face on Hawaiian buns. Waitress was very knowledgeable and patient as we tried different beers, as this is our first time here. Very cool British decor. read more

Cool place, the patio adds a really nice touch. We will definitely come back in the warmer months to enjoy the patio. Even though the location is in a strip plaza, royal docks does a great job of transporting you elsewhere once you step inside. Their food was decent-a flatbread pizza and sandwich, and the pretzel appetizer was good. You have to walk up to the bar to order, then a server drops your food off. The beers (we've tried all possible, every style was great) are all 4 stars and up, way to go on your brews, guys! We appreciated that they also had some guest tap handles and options, and good ones at that. Definitely a great spot in north canton! read more

Service/atmosphere: You get your own food at bar kind of annoying at times depending on wait, etc. Loud, they have a band so what do you expect. Food: Pretzel sticks 8/10 Lebanese fries 1/10 Tomato Bruschetta 10/10 best I have ever had Margherita flat bread 8/10 Will be back for sure! read more

Newer trendy microbrew. Has bands on weekends. Beer menu is Royal Docks brews. Tried several. Liked Baba Yaga Coffee Port best. Vlad the Impaler was good. There's a Raspberry one that was full of fruity flavors. Try a flight! For food we only tried the jalapeños. Not a lot of flavor. Thought they'd be hotter. But we really liked the venue. Good vibs. read more

As soon as my GPS told me to turn right into a strip mall, I knew I had hit another gem. Royal Docks Brewing Company occupies a great space with both indoor and outdoor patio seating. Indoor seating includes a few seats at the bar, high tables, low tables and small area with couch seating. There are several TVs (I'm guessing mostly used for viewing sporting events). Since the couches were taken, I took an empty seat at the bar. Naturally. I was greeted by one of two bartenders who handed me both the beer and the food menu. I wasn't really there for food but went with the Bavarian pretzel sticks with beer cheese and dark ale mustard. Part of the reason I picked the pretzels was because they were the cheapest item on the menu but at $5 it seemed a little too much for just two pretzel sticks. The beer cheese and mustard were great, though, and the pretzels were a good snack while drinking. Speaking of drinking...from my seat at the bar I saw 12 taps (including a few guest taps) and the list of available beers was impressive. I grabbed a flight order form ($1.50 for each sample, up to 6 on a paddle) and took my time making my selections. Some choices were easy (like the light and refreshing award-winning Welsh Summer Rare Wit, Pendragon). I decided to try different styles so I also went with the Yardarm Session IPA and the Daemonium (a Belgian). My final Royal Docks selection was Verbose. While the regular Verbose was not on tap, it was available on cask (made with blood oranges). Verbose seems to be a popular choice but I think the cask version I got to try was probably better. My final two choices were guest taps, both from R. Shea and both delicious. The Polymer Stout was a caramel espresso stout and The Islander was a coconut rum coffee stout. (Clearly R. Shea Brewing needs to be added to my list of places to check out.) Bartenders were friendly but could have been more attentive. I overheard one of them saying they had a long busy weekend after a local news article on Friday made them a very popular destination. I can understand that and it wasn't very busy while I was there however I still thought there could have been an extra person walking around checking on tables. As it was, any beer or food orders could only be made at the bar. Definitely a great destination for any craft beer fan. Given the order-at-the-bar protocol, I'd recommend trying to go at an off-peak time. Sunday afternoon seemed perfect. read more

See all

Have never had a bad time here and the vibe has always been that the staff wants to make sure of that. Whether it was just a fun night out, or to go see a band, watch the Browns/Indians, Super Bowl and even watch the election numbers come in- The Docks promises exceptionally great food, that is actually worth the price (Although, it will get pricey if you want to order a ton of stuff plus drinks) and their personal brews made me start drinking beer after years of claiming I never would. I love the fact that not only can the owner be found in there almost on demand, but they enjoy eating and drinking from their establishment as well and you can tell The Docks is something they're proud of. For being a brewery, they also have a large bar menu as well with some unique/higher end liquors. I also like the fact that they have a few guest taps and, more importantly, their bathrooms are clean and if you need a spritz of hairspray or a little body mist, you can find what you need in there. read more

The beer and drinks are great. Service was good also. But... The food is horrible. Don't bother. We were excited because the menu looked good. But very disappointed. read more

As a craft beer guy from NY, I naturally have high expectations. I was pleasantly surprised across the board here. First, the atmosphere was fantastic; the "refined brewery" feel is a great atmosphere for the beer aficionado down to the family man who enjoys a beer from time to time. The food was VERY good. I had the Kale-Pesto flatbread (don't judge me). But it was very very good. Lastly and the most important- the BEER. I am an "untappd" guy who has tried over 3,000 beers and I can say I was very impressed and pleased with all 9 beers that I sampled. If IPA's have a special place in your heart like me- go for the WHITECHAPEL. All in all, I can't wait to come back and bring my NY friends. read more

Royal Docks Brewing - What a beautiful place. - Breweries Near Me - Canton, Ohio

If you like beer, you'll definitely enjoy their selection, wonderfully rich and complex! My friends call me a beer snob because of my love for pale ales, scouts, generally dark, bitter beers and because I'm so picky when it comes to beer. With all that being said, I was blown away by this place, amazing drinks and cool atmosphere. Congrats to the owners! read more

I'd been hearing about this place for a long time, finally I made it down here Sunday evening for some drinks, food, and part of a Cavs game with a friend. The brewery is well-kept, tidy, and classy. The staff were courteous and helpful with my questions. The beers I sampled were solid, nothing super special, but it merits more visits. I will more than likely come back to try other beers. My main gripe with Royal was the food. I ordered some Cod (for some odd reason they were out of fries) for $9.50. What I received were (at best) two small pieces of fish that were the size of slightly-bigger chicken nuggets, a cup of peas, and a cup of coleslaw. Not at all pleased with the portions. Not a fan of places serving meals the size of appetizers. I don't know if this holds true for the other items on the menu but I'm probably not too far off in my thinking in that the rest of the menu is also over-priced meals the size of sides. Go to Royal for the beer and atmosphere but don't order any food. You'll be disappointed. read more

Stay Away Cigar Lover or BOTL if you want to smoke even outside, I got permission from a server to light up showing her the cigar. I ordered and had one pint of beer 2/3 I was scolded like a child, the owner or manager SENT to a corner to finish my Beer and was ejected. Now I told my story on yelp once, but the owner or his manager, attacked me by saying I was drunk and "Belligerent" "intoxicated", and did what he could to order me a Taxi, this was complete BS I had one Pint! read more

Originally tasted this at the Kent Beer Fest, drove 40 minutes out and not sure how we feel. I got the same beer that I liked, the mimosaic but in a bigger cup, wasn't as good. I'd maybe try the pilsner. The loaded waffles fries were pretty good. Only a 3/5 stars because of the drive and also one server was rude to us as we ordered but all smiles and laughs to some regulars that came in. I'd love to support this local company but probably wouldn't come back to brewery read more

A little disappointed by Royal Docks. Great space, but no wait staff? You stand at the counter and wait to order beer, mixed drinks and food. Nice selection of old cocktails, micro brewed beer and a limited selection of appetizer type food items. If you plan to talk to your friends or date, find a table toward the rear. The acoustics are not the best withe cement floor and steel. It is really difficult to hear when the band is playing and I guess they like it that way. Their menu even says so. read more

Great brews! There seems to be brew pubs popping up everywhere these days and some of them clearly have no idea what they are doing. These guys get it. Many styles of home concocted beer to choose from, and none of them suck. I like a strong IPA while my wife is more of a Russian stout fan. Both are on the menu including a cask stout version of the "Vlad" which I highly recommend. They actually had two other stouts on a rotation. We ordered some pretzel stick appetizers which came with cheese sauce and mustard. The cheese had some fresh herbs on top. Classy. We stopped in very early and so service was quick as it comes. Nice atmosphere too. Loud music inside, quieter outside. And it was a pleasant mix of dance and 90's tunes. Would like to return next time I am in the area. read more

Royal Docks Brewing - 67 Alaska beer - Breweries Near Me - Canton, Ohio

Been at this brew pub several times. Not sure how "pub" is considered an accurate description of a bar/restaurant in a strip mall... Good selection of brews in a modestly appointed place. Hard surfaces everywhere. Their claim to "English flare" must relate to the brews, because the tables and chairs are right out of an airport bar, not an English Pub. The menu is sparse; do not expect a fine dining experience. What is not appreciated is the insistence on taking your credit card to start a tab. No one who is sentient trusts handing over a credit card for an hour or two to people you really do not know. A recipe for card fraud. The alternative is to pay for every drink, which is pretty ridiculous. read more

This place was great! We were looking for somewhere to grab food before heading home on a 2 hour drive and stopped by chance when seeing it in the plaza! What a great fine! So many flatbread options that were delicious. The quesadilla was delicious! One person in our party needed gluten free flat bread and it was delicious! Would recommend this place to everyone!! read more

Great food ! All samples were great ! Fresh hot food you wont be disappointed! Flatbreads and pretzel.. Yum!

I visited here once and was served by who I believe were the owners- they were rude to their staff and obviously stressed with their customers. I went again tonight jusr to get my beer passport stamped an was BLOWN. away. By their customer service. Sydney and Ian took great care of us, refilling our waters and cleaning up as we ate. If I could be promised they'd take care of us every time; I'd return for the subpar beer. In a world where everything can be done online, customer service is so important. Way to go, Ian and Sydney. read more

There was nothing about this place we didn't like!! The beer was phenomenal (pendragon was our favorite), and the food we had was absolutely delicious! The building has great aesthetics and the outside patio is beautiful. Bathrooms were clean and the staff was friendly. Can't wait to visit again!! read more

Holy shit this place is incredible!! We did the tour with John who was fantastic - teaching us about all the beer and how they make it. Then we went to the actual brewery where Caroline and Kyle rocked our world! They provided top notch service while recommending the perfect combination of beer and food. I can assure you we'll be back strictly based on the service those two provided. You MUST check out this place, you won't be disappointed! read more

The beer is amazing! No worries, if you don't drink beer other adult beverages are available. The food is really great. One of our favorites is the Scotch Egg Flatbread. The menu will not disappoint. The service is wonderful and there is always a fun band or other event going on at Royal Docks. John, the owner is usually there wondering around making sure his customers are well taken care of. This is our go to brewery in Canton and what is even better????? John is canning his wonderful brews so folks all over can enjoy at home. read more

We went to their event venue for Mother's day High tea! Exceptional! Service, food everything was wonderful. Afterwards we went to the taproom and hung out on their patio. Great place! read more

Nice place, friendly staff, and good food. But not a good place if you are going for the live music. Alot of people are not there for the entertainment, so they talk louder over the band or performer, making it almost impossible to hear the music. Better to find out another venue the entertainment is playing on another night. read more

This place is great. They have some really good beers and their food is just as good. They do some cool live music things as well. Nice atmosphere and location. The owners are paying attention to detail and it shows. Great job! read more

We absolutely love everything about this place. The food is fantastic. We try to order unusual things and we have never been disappointed. Try the scotch egg flatbread or the queensway appetizer. All of the beers are fabulous. I don't like IPAs but theirs is actually good. The atmosphere is great and their special events are fun. Definitely try them out if you haven't. read more

Royal Docks Brewing - My Christmas ale from December - Breweries Near Me - Canton, Ohio

Went to Royal Docks Brewing 2668 Easton Street, NW Canton for a nice casual evening. For starters, placing an order took 20 minutes. Getting our food took an hour, for Bratwurst and Fries. Once the food was finally received, it was cold!!!!! The Bratwurst was the worst that I've ever tasted. This place is extremely over priced for food and service. The meal should have been given to us for FREE instead offering a very small discount. NEVER, EVER again will we plan an evening there!!!!!! John K Frazier....... read more

I've had to make a lot of trips to Canton due to a family situation and had been meaning to stop by for some time. I finally made it last night to sample the beers and eat dinner. I usually sit at the bar, but since it was Saturday night and it was full, I grabbed a table. It is self seating and as they point out on table menus and signs, you order your food and drinks at the bar and they serve you wherever you choose to sit. They have a lot of four-top tables and larger communal tables, as well as a decent patio. As is my custom when I visit breweries, I got a flight of some of their brews. For dinner, I ordered the pulled pork sliders and a side of fries. The beers were all good (I'm partial to the lighter stuff) and the pork sliders were really tasty, as were surprisingly the fries, which I think get treated as a filler/afterthought at most establishments, to the point I often don't bother anymore. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the place had a great atmosphere. Also, if you or your companions are not into beer, they also have a selection of other drinks to choose from. read more

I'm a very typical reviewer. I only review if it was really great or really terrible. In this case, it was an all around terrible experience. I was looking forward to their food, as I had checked out the menu in advance. Beer was fine. No complaints on that. It's your basic craft brewery beer. The food, however, was a different story. We ordered the meatball appetizer in the bourbon sauce. Meatballs were obviously just frozen, nothing unique or stand out about the sauce. Not nearly worth what we paid. I ordered the summer salad and added shrimp for $5. The salad itself was fine, because it's really hard to mess up a salad. The 3 cold, super salty pieces of shrimp for $5 were not okay. I didn't even eat them. My date ordered the taco special. They were underwhelming to say the least. Icing on the cake...I go to cash out and I swipe my card, leave a tip and head out. Notification on my bank account says I have a pending transaction with them for $1, which I thought was weird. Next day, charge isn't in my account. Cool...never got charged for my mediocre meal. Not so cool...the guy behind me did get charged. Once for his meal, and once for mine. Summary: This place is trying to hard to be something they're not. Could have been a fluke. I won't know because I'm not planning on going back. read more

Excellent selection of brews. Besides their own beers they have rotating beers. A good variety plus the fish and chips r excellent!

Had the Aloha and the Docks Margarita flatbreads. Very fresh and delicious. Tried a flight of the beers. The Yardarm was good if you like an IPA and the Vlad was an excellent stout. Don't miss out on the Yuletide seasonal ale. It gives the other Christmas ales on the market a run for the money ;) read more

Awesome place. Hands on owners, friendly knowledgeable staff! Sooo many great beers oh and the Scotch egg flatbread is a must!

Total chaos. You have to continually get up and go to the bar to order both food and drinks. Seating is a free for all. Do not recommend.

Good food, good prices, good beer! Basic set up, you order your own food at the bar. We were there in the winter and would like to return during warmer weather to enjoy their outdoor patio and fire pit. read more
