I stopped for lunch and ordered a coney, fries and a milkshake. The coney had great sauce with onions. The hot dog was good and the bun as well. Fries were crinkle cut and hot. The milkshake was good and creamy. The service was great and since it was a drive in there was no ambiance. read more

Woody's Root Beer Stand - Coney, fries and hot Carmel milkshake - Sandwiches Near Me - Canton, Ohio

This is a great seasonal place for ice cream treats, coneys, and more! They always have friendly staff. The food is hot and the root beer is absolutely amazing! They have been a local favorite for a lot of years in Canton. Highly recommend, make sure you bring cash though as they are cash only for payment. read more

Worst drive-in experience imaginable. I've repeatedly come here and sat in the parking lot for 10+ minutes, while the staff waits on everyone but me. I gave up years ago. Also, I noticed this says they're open year round and they absolutely aren't. read more

Great old fashioned feeling, been coming here since I was a kid. Love the coneys with onion and a large rootbeer.

Being a small business owner myself. This owner is ruining what supposed to be a staple in Canton,Oh. Wife and I like going to small businesses that are locally owned as others do the same for us. This is a cute little place well kept and clean with one exception! Let me tell you our experience. Pulled in nice young lady came up and took our order. 2 x Hotdogs w/ cheese 1 x Chicken Sandwich w/pickles 2 x Orders of fries 2 x Root-beers Order came out pretty quick nice Issue #1 - Tge young lady asked for my money I paid her. I take 1 root beer off the tray and hand it to my wife the young lady hits and dumps the other one in my lap. She apologizes repeatedly. I'm not mad that I'm covered in root beer more pissed that it's dumped down in the pocket of my doors and all over the items in the door. She runs and gets towels etc. Issue #2 They forgot my wife's chicken sandwich. When we asked about it the girl left and came back and said are you sure it's not there in an accusatory way. We showed what we had. She went and got the sandwich. Issue #3 We ordered my wife's chicken sandwich with pickles. There were no pickles on it. So we tell the young lady. She goes and gets pickles brings them to us and says. 50 cents please! We told her we had already paid for them due to us ordering them with the sandwich. She leaves. A minute later what I believe to be the owner an African American gentlemen is standing at my truck door and says he needs paid 50 cents for his pickles. We explain that we ordered the sandwich with pickles and had already paid for them. He in a threatening manner said he wants 50 cents for his pickles.I gave him 2 quarters and he stomped away. Rule number 1 when you have a situation where an employee assaults a customer with a drink time to be nice. Remember customers always right. Rule number 2 read your orders and fill them properly and you won't need to be rude to your customers and go ask for additional money for an order that you in fact screwed up! Most importantly here I felt that I was racially discriminated against by this gentlemen! I recommend to anyone planning on visiting this establishment don't waste your money. Food is below sub par And as I explained the service was ok the mgt well goes without saying. He's a piece of work! read more

Woody's Root Beer Stand - the exterior of the restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Canton, Ohio

Exactly what my boys wanted! They enjoyed every last bite! If you weren't a measly 7 hours away we would frequent more often!

I have been coming here my entire life. I now live in Los Angeles and made a visit home w/ Woody's on my must see list. I ordered a well done hotdog, on the grille, with mustard and onions. I repeated it again after my sisters order was in. The hotdog came cold in the center and not well done. Not a big deal. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said OK let me ask, you'll probably just have to pay for it. I was surprised. Why am I having to pay for something I already paid for. None the less the waitresses never came back to us to let us know what the kitchen said. My sister eventually said "hey, are we replacing the hot dog?" The waitress said yes. You just have to pay for it. I then said. "Let me speak to the manager". The manager came out saying we don't make hot dogs this way? Well, I wasn't told that when I ordered it. She began to say I was making a big deal over a $2.50 cent hot dog. Really? Who's making the big deal of the $2.50 hot dog. What happened to customer service and getting what you ordered? My complaint is not over the price. It's over getting what you asked for. Are we all settling for less these days? read more

Woodys has excellent service. Their food was great. Highly recommend definitely coming back!

I decided to support a local business and treat my mom to lunch at the same time! I ordered takeaway so we could eat at her house (instead of in my car). My mom got the Coney Dog (they didn't have the chili, cheese, and diced onion option, which is typical on a Coney Dog, so she got mustard, ketchup & relish). I ordered a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, and mustard. We split an order of onion rings, an order of fried mushrooms, ranch dipping sauce, and a chocolate malt with extra malt. The total was only $13.45, which is pretty good if you ask me! Pros: * Fast service * Friendly staff * Inexpensive * Ample parking * Conveniently located and easy to find * Delicious fried mushrooms * Delicious onion rings * Coney dogs are tasty (according to my mom) Cons: * Cheeseburger was average at best * It was $2.50 for only 4 onion rings * The chocolate malt wasn't especially chocolatey Neutral: * Chocolate malt with extra malt was very sweet. Too sweet for me, however, my mom liked it read more

Woody's Root Beer Stand - We took our food home to enjoy! - Sandwiches Near Me - Canton, Ohio

We drove 40 miles to Woody's and it was worth it. Food, Root Beer and service was terrific! Keith read more

Stopped in for a bite after seeing the HOF and the place is awesome. Severed carhop style the young lady was nice. The Root Beer is AMAZING! Burger was simple and on point! I opted for the onion rings and they were GREAT!!! One thing they are CASH ONLY!!! read more

Been a customer since before it was called Woody's. I remember when you could buy a quart of root beer for a quarter. The Root Beer Stand opening was always the sign that spring had arrived, and a rite of passage for each new generation of kids. You just had to have a root beer and a hot dog at least a few times each summer. Not any more folks. I've tried three times this year, and each time it has gotten worse. Fortunately the root beer is still good, but that is where it ends. Poor service, mistaken orders, shortchanged. Definitely gone off the rails. I gave it a few extra tries thinking that the young staff would catch on, but things have gotten worse. It starts at the top. Poor management, not nearly the same as when Marcia ran a tight ship. Save yourself the aggravation. If the current management is lucky, the Hall of Fame Village will declare eminent domain, buy the corner, take down the place and put up charging stations for the coming wave of EV's. While they are at it, park a bunch of those 2 wheel Birds that are polluting the city with aluminum trash. The thrill is gone for both. read more

Unfortunately I've noticed a decline in the overall service and food here. I have come here for years with my family and it's always been great but lately this past year it's been awful. I recently went here and sat in my car for about 20-25 minutes before being waited on. On top of that the previous trips I've had multiple issues with my food and had to make a return trip back for them to fix it. Overall disappointed lately read more

I was pumped to find this after visiting the Very nearby Football Hall of Fame, but was fairly disappointed with the food. We ordered the creamy chicken sandwiches, fried mushrooms, and a gallon of root beer. The creamy chicken sandwiches were super salty without a lot of flavor and I didn't like the consistency (almost blended chicken with cream?). The fried mushrooms needed a little more sauce but were good. The root beer was definitely yummy! But not super different from a grocery store brand ‍ definitely worth the money but from a food perspective, everything needed more flavor. read more

Had lunch here recently during the covid 19 and everything was delicious Swiss burger mushrooms and root beer only problem I didn't realize they only took cash, car hop was great and directed me to the nearest atm,will be back when in the area read more

Thee best root beer ever. Price is a little expensive. However, I think it's because they make the root beer home made. Staff can be a little more professional. It feels sometimes like a borderline Hooters with how waiters dress read more

Ah Woody old friend... it's been a while. This was a long time childhood favorite, Woody's root beer and miniature golf. Well no more golf, but Woody's hasn't changed. Awesome homemade root beer, seemingly the same delish breaded mushrooms with ranch of my youth :) and great round, melty grilled cheese for the little. They have delish burgers and onion rings, and next visit is for root bear floats. The car side window service is great, we had two servers checking on us and they were super friendly and quick. Had a great little meal for under $10 and introduced a new little fan to a Canton classic! Check it out while it's open for the season! read more

Woodys is a nostalgic place with classic drive-in food. The ice cream and root beer are good but we didn't enjoy the food. The creamed chicken was super dry, like it had been on the burner too long. Ordered onion rings and for $3.50 i got five onion rings and they were not giant. What they were was greasy, large pools of oil beneath them and super overdone. Service was slow the day we went, waited about 25 min to get our stuff. We didn't mind that, it was a lovely day and we had nothing to do. Overall Woodys is a local joint with lots of memories for some. Its a neat thing to do once a season. We just stick to the ice cream. read more

Although I didn't grow up in Canton, I've quickly learned this is a longtime favorite & can see why. I've been here numerous times- classic drive in style- order & food comes out on a tray that hooks to the windshield. On our most recent trip we rode our bikes down & grabbed a picnic table in the back. My biggest piece of advice? Get the grilled cheese! Or two! With American. I'm not a huge grilled cheese fan (unless we are talking Brie, fontina, Gouda....) but this is so good the first time I tried a bite of someone's I almost ate the whole thing! Who would've thought flipping a bun inside out, throwing on some cheese, & grilling it, would have me raving about a sandwich so much. The fried mushrooms are good, fries are average. The root beer & floats are delicious. Remember- this is cash only, so be prepared! read more

This is a classic root beer stand. Quality burgers, great fried mushrooms & home made root beer. I also recommend the creamy chicken sandwich. I mentioned to the server that this place is similar to Swenson's (a Northeast Ohio favorite). She replied with "yea but we have hot girls that work here" If you are near the Pro Football Hall of Fame, this is a great place to grab a bite to eat. read more

Woody's Root Beer Stand - Sandwiches Near Me - Canton, Ohio

A Canton landmark for nearly 70 years! Old school drive-in rootbeer stand, one of the last of it's kind in Stark Co. Nothing fancy just great Americana food. Their rootbeer is the BEST, as is the coney dogs. read more

Homemade, delicious root beer? Check! Delicious homemade hot chicken sandwiches? Check! Fantastic cheese burgers? Check! Friendly car hops? Of course! The arrival of Spring means it's time for Woody's! We go every year as soon as we know they're open. read more

A nostalgic place for me. My Mom used to take me to Woody's as a reward for being good as a kid. The place hasn't changed much and that is a good thing. Pull into a parking spot and a girl will approach your car. Menu is posted on the side of the orange-colored building. This time I went with a baby root beer---a 2oz glass mug of their delicious root beer. Just enough to elicit good memories and taste great. An institution in Canton for sure. I don't think I have ever eaten there but hot dogs, fries, and root beer are the main fare. Oh, and the banana split is legendary. read more

This place hit the spot! We visited it after our trip to the NFL hall of fame which is literally down the street. We had a double cheeseburger and onion rings with homemade rootbeer! It was all tasty. We also had to try the rootbeer float and it was also delicious. Service was good and efficient. read more

Woody's Root Beer Stand - Sandwiches Near Me - Canton, Ohio

What pleasant, fun memories Woody's brings back. We lived on Fulton Road for a few years and were able to walk to Woody's and Taggarts's both. The root beer is the best ever. Good, old-fashioned root beer served in glass tankards. I've never had any sandwich or side order that wasn't hot and good tasting. Once in a while I'll order a float and they are yummy. Visit while in Canton and see if you agree. Just off I-77 at the Fulton/HOF exit. read more

This place is wonderful. The rootbeer is homemade and they sell it by the gallon. Most of the excitement of this place is the nostalgia, and everything they make could be made at home, but there is something about this place that keeps us driving two hours to get it. The sloppy joe is my favorite, my husband gets the coney every time. They are consistent and delicious. read more

yummy. Good food and nice service. people are nice. Root beer are very special. Overall good quality

Terrible customer service with a burger that you can make at home for a fraction of the price. Took them three times to get my simple order right, and then argued with me that I was wrong. When I asked for my burger to be without onion, and all they did to "correct it" was to take the bun off and put a new one on. The same burger with a bite taken out of it covered in cheese, still littered with onion. Awful. read more

This is my favorite drive in. Woody's has been around for a very long time. Coneys, burgers,chicken sandwiches, rootbeer floats. Its all here and delicious! read more

Fast, cheap and good food. We were from out of town and needed a late/quick bite to eat. Would come back if we're ever out here again.

My favorite thing from here is the creamed chicken sandwich. I also like the fried mushrooms and how they have you salt your own fries. The root beer is good, and my family really likes the hamburgers. Be aware that it is CASH ONLY and the close when it rains hard/storms. (and in case you did not know this is a drive in, as in an eat in your car place) read more

I found this little gem by accident! The service is AWESOME! The same lady has served me each time and she is EXTREMELY and genuinely nice! The food is on point! Made fresh! And the amount of choices is perfect! I had become a favorite of mine! read more

I like this place now only because I feel like it's a family/Canton classic. The food I got recently was pricey for the quality, the rootbeer wasn't anything special like I remember it being, and the girls dress very immodestly. Our waitress was nice but didn't check on us even when my lights were on. read more

What a sweet little place! Stopped in after going to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and this place was perfect. It is a drive up, so they come to you in the car. Had the root beer (in a real mug and awesome) and creamy chicken sandwich, which was wonderful, unique, and on a white bread bun natch. Only miss for me were the fried mushrooms - I think they do a good job with them, just not my thing. The staff were exceptionally friendly. Highly recommended! read more

No need for guidlines. Me and my girlfriend stopped for a quick bite to eat. I've been going there all my life. a real treat for a family night out. Last night was not one of those nights. The service was quick due to one other car there. Anyway, the food was not at all what i was used to in the past years. Order to go, 2 sloppy joes with onions and vanilla shake. My girl ordered aswiss cheese burger. no pickles or relish. got home, the swiss cheeseburger had pickles and relish. My sloppy joes were a mess. no onions, folded in half like they were sopposed to be. Buns were hard on one side and saturated on other. Shakes were good thow. Sorry to see such a landmark go to the pits. read more

I only wish that this place was open all year round. I grew up going here and now I take my kids there.

Service was sweet and prompt... Don't get why anyone complains about service or what the waitstaff is wearing. I mean I'm here for the root beer and sandwiches. My youngest had a great idea! Play movies on a big screen on your lawn out back by the picnic tables and serve food and drinks. It would be amazing. read more
