The Canopy

We ordered pit beef sandwiches, fries, cornbread, and drinks, and everything came out fresh and really well prepared. The food was flavorful, and the portions felt fair for the price. Overall it was a great experience, and I look forward to coming back to eat here again.

sandwich meat was heated in a microwave to be warm, fries were burnt black, and the mashed potatoes came from a box and were mostly water

I swear the fried shrimp and onion rings at The Canopy on Route 40 have healing powers. After a long day, this place is basically my version of therapy. The onion rings are perfectly crispy, the fried shrimp are ridiculously good, and if I’m really leaning into comfort food mode, the ribs seal the deal.

They are a classic Route 40 spots where you know exactly what you’re getting - great food, zero nonsense, and the kind of meal that makes you turnaround any rough day!

I finally tried The Canopy and totally get why people recommend it! It has that classic local pit beef stand feel, nothing fancy, just really good food done right.

I ordered the pit beef sandwich and it was so good!! Juicy, smoky and piled high.

What I liked most was the vibe. It feels like one of those longtime neighborhood spots that people have been going to forever. Super casual, friendly service and just a solid place to grab a great sandwich.

Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to when I’m in the area!

Excellent service and food at The Canopy! Stopped by with my family to try the pork and ribs they offer after hearing good things. The ribs were great and the pork even better. Dorothy and Fern were very welcoming and made the experience for me. I saw they also have some food trucks that I look forward to trying—will be back!

Have watched this place decline over the last 20 years. They used to be a neighborhood institution serving up good food for fair prices. These days since new ownership took over they’ve started buying much cheaper meat and they’ve increased their prices. Last time I went the pit beef was so dry it was cracking apart. If you want good bbq go for Klobys, Addys, or pioneer. Even mission is better than canopy

Meat falls off the bone sweet . The closer to the bone the sweeter the meat. Onion rings absolutely 💯 great.

We decided to try The Canopy based on recommendations from a few friends. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The pulled pork had an old taste, as if it had just been reheated, leaving a bad aftertaste. The chicken was even worse; my son ended up spitting it out into the rubbish bin. The roast beef sandwich was tough and tasted off. The only acceptable food was the fries. What a shame, we hoped it would be good BBQ.

Wife got half a rack with beans and potato salad. Tons of grizzle, not much meat-threw away most of it. I got a pit beef sandwich. Very bland-was not smoked and tasted more like roast beef than pit beef. Do yourself a favor and go to Adam’s Ribs.
