“A very nice dinner here on a Friday. The place was full but everything came out timely and just right. The kids menu was nice and doubled as a color mat.

Kid-friendliness: Menu/color mat and staff was friendly & playful with the kids.“

“This is seriously just an amazing place to come vibe. The outdoor space is awesome, I love that there's bar and food service outside and even a restroom so I don't have to keep walking in and out. Everytime we come we meet people and have a great time. All the servers are friendly and awesome. The food is always bomb. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ?“

“I had an incredible dining experience at Scratch Steakhouse! The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and had just the right blend of elegance and comfort. The food was absolutely top-notch — every bite was a delight. The steaks were cooked to absolute perfection, tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The sides were just as impressive, each one prepared perfectly. It’s clear that attention to detail and quality ingredients are a priority here. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a phenomenal meal in a great setting, this is it. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!“

“I went in the restaurant to try some of the cream pies and wow were they amazing!!! I think the baker was a young woman who was blonde with blue eyes, who I owe my upmost respect to. Can't wait to come back soon for more of the delicious handmade baked goods!!!“

“Good food , nice atmosphere, friendly service. I think that there would be more people eating here if the outside of the building would be fixed up since it is a historical building.“

“Beers & beers & lots more beers.. If you want liquor; they have that too!!“

“I love Melange! It feels like a place you would visit in Las Vegas! The food is amazing, drinks are delicious, and the team is incredible! The restaurant is gorgeous and it is definitely my new favorite place! Downtown Canton is definitely the place to be!!!!“

“Exceptional !!!“

“Truly an authentic, legitimate, professional establishment that delivers exactly upon what it promises in a measured and classy way. Many places over promise and under deliver or focus on more on schtick than substance, not 91. If you desire something higher end they have you covered, if you are in the mood for more casual they have your back too. & It's the little things that can impress you also.

For example they cut the greens in their Caesar Salad to an appropriate size such that they are easily placed upon your fork and don't cascade all over the place while you're trying to enjoy them during dinner conversations either by needing to macerate them yourself or look like a heifer calf trying to eat from a bale of long stemmed alfalfa hay.

Great wine list (Tuesday specials appreciated), maybe the Craft Beer list could use a little "bump" but you can walk across the parking lot for that if really a priority. The Old Fashions are spot on and well crafted also.

Great communication from the staff and management also, exceedingly great service without being in your grill all the time.

Thanks for being a part of the community.“

“Stopped here after long travel home from Florida, and the service and food was perfect way to end our trip. The buttery steak sandwich was to die for. And my mom got liver and onions and said it was the best ever. Very friendly atmosphere.“

“This place is always fun. Particularly if you go earlier in the day. I love day drinking with friends. Hanging with the staff and just relaxing. Sarah is literally the best. Shannon is also awesome! So if you stop by...make sure to give them some love.“

“I ate here about a month ago after visiting the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Their prices were so reasonable, and the staff was very friendly. I will eat here again if I'm ever in the area again. Loved it“

“Oooooohhhhhh my god we went here at last minute right before they closed and I asked if they would take a family if not that's ok. They took us in !!!!

“I loved this place! If you like Greek food, you have to visit Athens Restaurant. Our server, Tasha, was amazing! I will definitely go back to Athens for the Greek coffee, gyro platter, and Greek cookies. Fast, friendly, and fun! Do yourself a favor and visit Athens soon!“

“I can’t believe the naysayers…gone there for years, never bad food, never a bad server never a bad drink. It is always top quality friendly staff and wonderful food.“

“We had a fabulous meal and excellent service. Our group of 4 had 2 filet kabobs, lamb kabob, and beef kabob. They were all done perfectly as ordered and amazingly tender, flavorful, and juicy. The family platter of Syrian rice, roasted potatoes, garlic bread, and salad was plentiful and delicious. We all were satisfied and full. And we had leftover rice and potatoes.The only negative and reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the size of the desserts. We ordered baklava and chocolate cake to go. The baklava was a 2" triangle and thin. The cake slice was a 2" wedge from a 6" round cake. For the price, they were surprising small. It was a celebration dinner and I forgot to take pictures of the food.“

“Dominic runs a top notch Pub and Grill ! Always treated as a friend , and the drinks and food are always fantastic!“

“Stopped after making a delivery at Mettalus in Canton. My wife accompanies me and we then go to Hartville Kitchen for lunch. They were closed so we found Meet Me At Irene's. Good food great service and good atmosphere. Try it, you'll like it.“

“An amazing place, my fiance and his family brought me here for the first time it had the feel of when you where little and your parents brought you to a candy store and said go nuts or crazy. The food is amazing, but the ice cream is to die for. 100/10 would recommend to a friend.“

“I stopped in the hideaway.About 3 months ago got there, fish On Friday. came out burnt.They never gave me any money back I didn't even eat it. It was so bad.Cost me $25 for that fish dinner.Never been back It would not let me post pic would not recommend going there for burnt fish.“

“Great bartenders and very friendly“

“Decent food for the price most items are $20 or less. The food is not great here but it's not bad. Very passable. The salmon bowel was overcooked and dry, but the rice and Brussel sprouts were excellent. The wait for food to come out was really long, though, like it took well over 30 minutes. If you inly order the grinders, the food seems to come out much faster. The baked sweet potato was fine it is nothing special it is just a plain potato.“

“Went there for quick dinner before a high school football. Great atmosphere, prompt friendly service, good food. Loved the pot roast. The real treat was piece of cake we got to go. After the game we returned to our hotel and found both cakes were great 👍“

“This is the owner talking to her ex bf and the rest is her daughter“

“Hidden in plain sight!! I think I found my new favorite place in Canton. I oops upon this amazing gentleman who made us some great lamb chops. I can’t believe I’ve never been inside this place before and I can’t wait to go back! Definitely go try the food and meet the owner!“

“Highly recommend! First time here tonight and I can’t wait to come back! Food was phenomenal as well as the service, and the atmosphere and for the Price I was very impressed! It was crazy busy for a Wednesday night but only waited for 10 or so minutes! 10/10“

“The food is Great. Friendly people and an over all fun place.“

“I cannot comment on the service or the food because we did not order. We walked by the place and it looked fantastic to have a beer and a snack. We were just outside in the Centennial field. Great place to party and watch a game for sure.“

“I give all of the stars to Takira and the gentleman doing the cooking!!! I wish I had thought to get his name. They accommodated our special request while providing great service and food. The best part was how they involved all of the customers in conversation.“

“Great place for steaks and atmosphere ❤️“

“Consistently "okay";
I've often received food that is slightly under-cooked, but otherwise - very good! The staff is 50:50, some are fantastic and others will make you prefer sitting in your vehicle with a burger from McDonalds. (No doubt, this could be a result of poor tipping or negative guest interactions, it can take a toll - be kind to your wait staff!)
The atmosphere has been fine until recently with the new table side tablets that randomly play video game sounds every 20 seconds with no way to mute it - very intrusive and annoying.“

“Bob Evans is always great and my chicken noodle deep dish was amazing but what we were pretty disappointed in was my boyfriend didn’t get many fries with his meal. It’s crazy what we pay for and that’s all we got.“
