We've been coming to Tim's for decades and it's always fantastic. We went tonight for Fish Fry Friday's and it was packed due to lent season. They told us the wait time would be around 45 minutes we decided to stay and only waiting 15 minutes before we were seated. We were greeted my our waitress and she was absolutely awesome! We ordered their House Onion Rings to share at the table. Tim's is Famous for Fish and it's was just as great today as back in the day. If you're craving great fish, Tim's Tavern is the best in the area hands down.

I really liked the perch with it's nice texture and breading. Nice service, when I what they gave me free hush puppies! Ok Ambiance, not the best but the food make up for it. Over all very good

These tiny wings

The place has declined over the past few years. The prices have increased, and the potions have decreased. I even asked about the wing size before I ordered, and was told the wings were large. Not only have the prices increased, but the credit card fees are included in the price. A 3 piece fish dinner and 10 piece wings cost over 40.00 with tip. It will probably be my last visit unfortunately. The place hasn't even been upgraded.

Excellent clam chowder
Dennis G.

We've been coming here for years. The fish and shrimp have always been tasty and reasonably priced. Service has been excellent. Wednesday nights is Seniors' Night and prices are 25% off.. A large salad is included. The alternative is cole slaw or a vegetable. The hush puppies are warm and crunchy They are plentiful as well. There is one peculiarity- If you ask for hush puppies on a to go order, they charge for them and they are expensive. If you dine in, you can have as many as you want for free. The clam chowder is consistently good This is one of our favorite place for a quick tasty meal. With regard to ambiance, you might say there is none, but at these prices and good food, who cares?

Outside

One of the advantages of having a motorcycle that gets over 60mpg is that it the weather is good after a rainy morning and I want to try a new place I can check out Yelp and then take a ride; that is what I did on a Spring Monday afternoon and I ended up at Tim's Tavern in Canton. Tucked away in a residential neighborhood near Meyers Lake it can be easy to miss Tim's, but is is worth finding it. According to its website Tim's has been around in one form or another since 1957 and has been famous for fish. Tim's is a bit nondescript from the outside with a large parking lot around it. Inside there is a dining room to the right and the large bar room to the left which is where they were serving when I was there. The bar area has a great kind of dive bar feel with old wood, tile floor, low ceiling and red stacking chairs; a casual atmosphere to be sure. The menu is fish and seafood heavy along with burgers and chicken, with many different ways of enjoying each protein. I was just a bit late for the 3pm cutoff for lunch so I ended up ordering the beer battered fish dinner since that is what they are famous for. The dinner comes with 2 sides and hushpuppies. After only a couple of minutes out came the basket of hushpuppies with whipped honey butter. These were some of the best hushpuppies I have had, freshly fried with a crispy exterior and a golden inside. These were not as dense as most hushpuppies I have had, the corn flavor comes through and there are kernels of corn that give a pop of sweetness. Combined with the honey butter I saved most of these as a great finish to the dinner. Shortly after the fish dinner came out, two nice sized thick fillets of fish a huge pile of home fries and rice pilaf. The fish was excellent, fresh Cod with a perfect Beer Batter expertly fried; the fish was mild and flaky, the batter crispy and flavorful. This was some of the best fried fish I have had in North East Ohio. The home fries and rice pilaf were both what you would expect, well prepared and very generous portions. Tim's Tavern really impressed me, a nice comfortable atmosphere, good service and both the fried fish and hushpuppies were some of the best I have had. I will definitely be back. If you are in the Canton area it is near both the NFL Hall of Fame and the McKinley Presidential Library, but well worth seeking out if you want some good eats.

On a recent visit to Canton our friends recommended this restaurant to us for lunch or dinner. It doesn't look like a traditional restaurant from the outside. It looks like they have expanded from the original bar. But it was a very large open space with tables and booths. Our lovely young server was very friendly and very attentive. We love the food and would recommend it to others. Next time we are in town we will visit here again.

Wayback Burgers - CLASSIC and CAJUN TATER TOTS

This Wayback Burger location is located across the street from the Belden Village Mall. It is…read morelocated in the same plaza as Nothing Bundt Cakes and Wingstop. Upon entering, there is a kiosk to your left for quick "line free" ordering or you can choose to head to the front where a friendly cashier will assist you. All of the burgers and sandwiches are priced separately. For example, the Cheesy Burger is $8.49, but you can variations of combo add ons like tator tots and a drink (add $6.99) to make it a meal deal. The Cheesy Burger was unique with four slices of cheese and an inverted bun (bun flipped outsides in). I added the tator tots and regular drink for $6.99. The tator tots come with a choice of sauce. I highly recommend the chipotle mayo for dipping, but may be too overpowering on a burger. The downside to the Cheesy Burger was the grease dripping down your hand as you're trying to eat it. However, it all adds to the awesome experience. The drink area was your typical Coca Cola options with a side drink area of various lemonades. I tried the Strawberry Hibiscus Lemonade which was tart and delicious. As far as overall experience, order food at the kiosk or the counter and have a seat. The food and shakes will be brought out to you. The signage advertises hand scooped shakes. The staff is friendly and always smiling (atleast during our visit). The atmosphere is great for a friends hang out, quick lunch, or casual date.

The food itself was fine, the burgers are very small so be prepared for that considering the price…read more Toppings were a bit sparse. Overall the food was fine but a bit expensive for the portions (40.00+) since fries and drinks are addons. Service was ok at best, didn't make any attempt to recommend anything or suggest something for first time diners. Just stood there until we ordered something. This place was dead, so you'd think it would be spotless. Our table was dirty with crumbs and ketchup smeared on the empty napkin holder. There was trash on the floor and dishes stacked above the garbage ( we were the ONLY diners the entire and after when we walked over to NBC ). Overall the place was pretty dirty considering there was no business. Would I be back, the prices didn't match the portions and they place was dead and dirty. This used to be SMOKE and I miss it. It's a hard 2/5 for me.

Let me just start by saying this place is great. On Tuesday's they have $6 dollar sandwiches, well…read moreit's just 2 of the signature chicken sandwiches. This menu is something else. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was great, very attentive and explained everything to me, even how they cook the fries in a beef bouillon but only on Tuesdays because the Vegetarian customers don't agree with it. Which tells me they must have a huge vegetarian crowd(at a chicken place?). Anyways the fries that came with the Nashville chicken sandwich were amazaballs... and I don't usually get fries, ever. I also order 2 sets of wings, they have traditional and boneless, I went with the bone-in, Nashville rub, it's not just a rub it's saucy, and the Parm/ garlic,. They came out hot/temp, so I ate the sandwich first and piled my coleslaw on-top and it's a soft roll type bun, and poured ranch on some bites cause it has some kick. And the coleslaw came out in a 2 cup container not a little dish, I ate it the whole meal and it was really good. I, half way through, asked the bartender if I could get one of the homemade lemonade that's in the back, that he mention to me, I did not see it at the soda fountain or on the menu. They have a full bar also. I was told the lemonade can be made blueberry or strawberry, I just got the strait up lemonade and it was great, served in a to go cup. And I like lemonade and root-beer, but they just have Barq's root-beer. I got there at about 5 and they have half priced appetizers from 3-6 and they change from day to day. They have a whole menu devoted to "The bird" you can get it whole, half, qtr, and on Wednesday they have .50c wings and they told me they sell out every Wednesday! I can believe it. They have a bunch of different sides, I wanted Mac and cheese but I already ordered for 2 people. I have to say when I sat down the bartender told me to hang on so he could re-wipe my spot. The place is pretty big and they have a downstairs party room you can rent out, with its own bathrooms, the bathrooms upstairs are clean and filled with toiletry, that's a good sign coming from me, bathrooms are a must. Especially if you're eating with your fingers for most of the meal. I would recommend anybody who likes wings and just plain chicken and fixens, this is your place. I just get a little confused on when to go, when they cook the fries in the same oil as the chicken. Tuesdays I think. Because the fries, wow. I stand by this place, check it out!

The Good: great…read moretasting chicken: Danielle had the chicken & waffles and i had a 4 piece meal w/ fried Brussel sprouts. we both agreed that the chicken was delicious and perfectly fried/crispy. the chicken fingers were also huge. i was worried that 4 chicken fingers wasn't going to be enough to fill me up but i was full by the time I'd eaten 2. each finger was the width of 2 fingers you'd get somewhere else. beverage options: i'm diabetic so i stick to diet/zero sugar sodas or teas. not only did they have diet pepsi, but had diet dr. pepper as well. score! and that cold soda was needed... The Bad (or Bad-ish): Howlin Sauce: incredibly hot/spicy for just a sriracha based sauce. i eat lots of hot and spicy dishes. it wasn't that it tasted bad - in fact, quite the opposite - but it scorched my tongue like nothing has in a while. No Chill (ha): Danielle's chicken and waffles was swimming in syrup so by her waffles were soggy as hell by the time she'd finished. she still loved the meal and just said she'd ask for it on the side next time. Messy: when we arrived, we saw a number of parties leaving one after another. i assume this would be the reason that most of the tables were covered in dirty dishes and empty cups and glasses. since you order at the counter and seat yourself, servers are not around to check on you or the state of the restaurant. so, tables remained messy for a little while before they were cleaned up. Ordering: i don't like the ordering at the counter and lack of server service. the place doesn't look to be set up that way. you'd think there would be servers as it's kinda like a larger bar. instead you order, sit, wait for your food and you're on your own. it's a little like BW3 was back in the day. Slow: seemed to take a long time for chicken fingers. not a huge deal, but i wouldn't have guessed it'd take so long. i don't want to give the impression, though, that it was more bad than good. the food definitely outweighed the negatives. it's a long way from home but i'd go back for sure. i'd like to try some wings and some other sides as well as some of their appetizers.

Best Burger? More like worst (near worst) burger. I've been wanting to try Best Burger for a while…read morenow. I was debating on whether to categorize it as a place to try: just me, me and someone else, or the whole family together. I'm glad I tried it by myself because I wasn't impressed at all. I happened to Door Dash Best Burger. The Door Dash experience was great and none of my comments based on the DD experience will be reflected in my comments since those are uncontrollables outside of the Best Burger experience. With that being said, I had high hopes for Best Burger from reading reviews and being recommended it over & over. I asked friends recently on social media about their favorite burger and most of them recommended Best Burger. My order was: Bacon Cheeseburger with these customization changes (no onion, add ketchup, add mayo). I also love tator tots so I ordered a side of them. The burger was the blandest burger I've ever had. I was expecting their Best Burger sauce and the charbroil flavor to swipe me off my feet. The burger Pattie's were bland and I don't recall tasting any sauces whatsoever even if they were present. The burger had no seasoning or flavor, I'm shocked. The tator tots tasted like your ordinary Tator tots from another basic place even like Sonic. No seasoning!!! I'm sooo glad I didn't order for the whole family or take them because it was a big disappointment. Before tip, the order being Door Dashed was $21. Save your money!

They were quick to make our food and we enjoyed it there. They make smashburger style meat for their burgers and it was nicely seasoned. The texture was on the dry side though. The buns and toppings were great. There fries were also very nice, crunchy, and spiced well. This is mostly a carry-out joint, but they have a couple of tables inside to eat at. Overall, nice place for lunch.

I'm still giving this a 5 even though it's more like a 4 star…read more First of all, I understand the lack of consistency, considering that two people can't work at the same place at the same time. But whoever is grilling the burgers at the other location is who is keeping me coming back. Other than that, other location is farther from me, it's worth a drive. What I really like about this place is the fresh meat and the disclaimer about the meats and how it's prepare. Well, I didn't like this time around is at the meat lacked seasoning, and the meat did not have that crispy edge or the juiciness in comparison to the other location. Unfortunately, I will not be back to this location unless I'm really thirsty for a good burger. If this is your first time at this location, then yes it's delicious. It's one of the best burgers in Cleveland. If you visit the other location first you're definitely gonna be disappointed when you go to this one.
