    Nashville chicken tocos
    Calvin P.

    The food here was amazingly prepared, very good chicken I got the Nashville tocos and the campfire loaded fries I definitely recommend. Service is very simple go in and order at the front then go grab a seat. The ambiance is very nice they have a bar inside, they have some TVs for sports entertainment, good music as well. 9/10 definitely recommend

    O.G Chicken Sandwich with mac &cheese
    Joey W.

    I got this from the food truck. The chicken sandwich with moist, flavorful, and delicious. The Mac & cheese was unique for sure and cheesy. The food truck service was friendly and enthusiastic.

    1/2 chicken, fries, coleslaw and roll.

    The food overall was good. The chicken tenders are huge! The 1/2 chicken was juicy, but I would love a little more seasoning and that goes for the chicken tenders (breading) as well. Fries were well seasoned. Coleslaw was creamy, would like a little more flavor with that too, not sure what is missing. Loved the season and butter flavor on the rolls, they were nice and hot. We had the honey mustard and garlic parmesan dipping sauces which were tasty. They do have others to choose from. The atmosphere is cool. Small bar area to eat and get a drink at. The service was great. The people that work there are super friendly, patient and can tell you all about the menu if you have any questions. I will definitely be back to try something new!

    Well we were looking for someplace new to try to take our old neighbor to as he loves chicken. What a good find. It is an easy drive from Akron where we live. (35 minute drive) My husband & I decided to split the 5 piece chicken strip platter. Yummy, yummy, yummy! Plenty of food for the two of us to spit. Loved the coleslaw, just the right amount of sweet tang flavor. We loved the garlic Parmesan dipping sauce & the honey mustard was good too! Our neighbor had the half of chicken platter & had plenty to take home with him. The two gentlemen servers were energetic, enthusiastic & friendly. Service was very good & environment upbeat with a sports bar-feel. We'll be back.

    Blueberry Pancakes (5)

    This was a repeat trip to the Howlin Bird on a Sunday for the same purchase that we tried about a year ago. This food experiment was not the same as this place overwhelmingly surprised me on my first visit for brunch. The Blueberry pancakes in the past were amazing. This time, it was like someone went in and replaced the entire previous cooking staff which might have happened. These pancakes were not fit for consumption as they were 'gummy' cakes. They're were so horrible there was only one attempt at a bite-fool. My wife didn't even touch her eggs as there was an apparent oil drizzled on them. The wings were amazing, but that was it. I guess we just paid over $64 dollars for twelve wings and soda pop. Our experiment on consumer consistency doesn't seem to be working out. Now that there is another comparative location, we can check more closely if there is a human capital issue or process issue. We really want to see you do well and your pancakes use to be my second favorite compared to Crackle Barrel. Now they are the bottom of the barrel.

    Stopped in when in canton for football....yelped best burgers around - it led us here! The chicken, the burgers and oh wow the salads!! Alll delicious! Everyone was super friendly and helpful and the vibe is casual!

    Why not just raise your prices versus acting like you're running a kindergarten?

    I really like the chicken sandwiches and wings here. All the rules they post are just silly. And the lady that continues to remind me of the rules when I order/pay "as a reminder" is equally as annoying. It's like they are super concerned that all their customers are going to steal from them. Very odd. Food is good though and I love wing night.

    Great find on recent trip to Canton. A true local gem. If I find myself in Canton again I will definitely stop again

    Loaded Fry Sauce
    Albert T.

    We placed a quick online order to eat on the road after visiting the First Ladies National Historic Site. My order was ready 11 minutes before the estimated pickup time (estimate was 25 minutes). Parking is in large lot behind the restaurant - be aware that Google maps makes you try to enter the parking lot through an old driveway that's now blocked with bollards. We only got one dish since we weren't that hungry: O.G. Chicken Sandwich ($14) + Upgrade to Loaded Fries ($3.50) - The fries were nicely salted and still remained a bit crisp even though they had been steaming for a couple of minutes in the takeout container. Because we had a takeout order, the loaded fry sauce came in an 8oz container on the side, making it really easy to dip the fries instead of having to eat with a fork. The sauce was cheesy and milky, with sweet caramelized onions, bacon, green onion and with a texture more like fondue than nacho cheese. Very good fries. The sandwich comes with two pieces of fried chicken that tasted well brined and heavily black peppered. The chicken had a perfect crisp and with the additional crunchy pickles and chewy brioche bun resulted in a great sandwich. Some horseradish sauce came in a 2oz container on the side that complemented the sandwich well. I would definitely visit again if I'm ever in the area again. Next time getting that fried chicken, biscuit and gravy monstrosity if they have it.

It has a fast food vibe and you have the option to order from a kiosk or a person at the counter. We ordered two value meals. My son had the two finger meal and I had the two sliders. There are two things to be aware of: 1. Drinks are not included in the value meal 2. The sliders are really big The chicken comes with fries (crinkle standard), a bunch of pickles, a aoili sauce, and really juicy and delicious chicken. I really enjoyed my food and my experience at Dave's Hot Chicken Canton.

Plus every night I drove by at 7pm or after it was always packed, so I thought I'd wait awhile to go in. Finally had lunch yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. Once we ordered it took about 15ish minutes to get our food, which I guess was fine. I got the sliders and fries and mac n cheese. The sliders were about three times bigger than I thought they would be, so that was good. And it was really good. Fries were fairly decent. Mac N Cheese? Not so much. Not good. All-in-all, not bad. I'd eat here again, but with so many chicken offerings nearby, not sure how often I'd be back in. P.S. The meals do not include drinks, which is stupid. Keep that in mind.

    I'm a Southern California resident visiting family in Ohio. After a long flight, I wanted a bite to…read moreeat and took my sister to Cane's. We love ours back home. The following is not what we experience back there. There was an hour wait at the drive thru, which consisted of a line that looped around the building twice! One window was open. No one outside to take preorders to expedite the process. After arriving at the window, we ordered two combos. Mine was a specialty order for the Caniac as I request "naked tenders" and extra hot sauce. Once at the window, we checked on the special request, and they did not have that listed so they handed us drinks and parked us after correcting. No straws for the drinks. We asked for them and requested extra hot sauce for the second time. The attendant grabbed some packets but became frazzled when we asked for straws so she put the hot sauce to the side and gave us straws. We pulled ahead before realizing we didn't get the hot sauce. We waited about 20 minutes parked before we received the wrong order. We called the runner back and requested the right order. There was only one combo (ordered 2), no hot sauce, and a side of three piece chicken. The runner seemed irritated so my sister went in with her. Inside they argued we didn't order two combos until my sister showed them our receipt. We waited longer. Finally the order came with one hot sauce for a 6 piece dinner. There were maybe 10 fries in her combo. I didn't order fries. We also noticed we were charged $1 more for the combo drink bc it was tea, not soda. I'm never charged more in CA, and online it shows a large drink with the combo. No one told us we'd be charged extra. When we saw these mistakes at home combined with our overall experience, we called in. The manager responded with silence and then an "ok" when we addressed our concerns. She was dismissive, no apology of our experience, or any way to promise a better visit next time. Total disregard. I'll stick with my California drive thru in the future.

    KFC - INDIVIDUAL PORTION OF FRIES AT KFC ($3.19)

    I am happier with KFC than most fast food restaurants. They offer bone in chicken (which "grown…read moreups" still like, unlike all these chicken places that only serve kid's finger food). And they have had their 8 PC bone in chicken only for $10, which is a good deal for multiple months now. Now they have 8 spicy wings for $4.99, which is an awesome deal in today's climate. My problem, shown in the picture, is when I ordered a regular price side. I ordered 24 wings for $14.97 (once again great deal). Then decided to order an individual fry for $3.19.. Saving so much on the wings I figured no problem paying this price. Then I received the amount below. Maybe 20 cents worth of fries. Now that we're trying to pay "all" workers a living wage, this is unacceptable. The employee that filled this order really thought this was a proper portion for the money? Sorry, now that you are paid big boy wages this should not be the case. It might seem I am overreacting but this is not an isolated incident at fast food restaurants. It just disappointed me since I have a favorable opinion of KFC. So, manager at this KFC (who won't see this anyway), try to instill some sense of pride in your workers that they are doing the best that they can and try to give value when you can to your loyal customers. This might sound laughable today but I say it in all seriousness. Still giving it 4 stars for order readiness, taste of food, and great deal on wings.
