Fizzlestix 3242 Lincoln Way E, Massillon American • $

“Let me be clear: I did not dine at Fizzlestix. I transcended. I transfigured. I Fizzled — and I have never been the same. From the instant I approached the glowing neon sign (which, I swear, winked at me), the world outside faded like a bad memory. A dragon made of mist greeted me at the door — or maybe it was dry ice, but who am I to question magic? I knew then: I had entered a realm where the ordinary fears to tread. My friends and I attended this establishment and were absolutely blown away by the service. Aly was a very exceptional waitress and clearly had a humor that was relevant to us all. The owner, Darcy, greeted us with a smile and shared the joy of fizzlestix with us. It felt as if we were at home, enjoying a meal with the closest of our families. We took advantage of the all you can eat steak special - which has by far been the best deal I have ever ran into. For us, we are a group of rather giant individuals. We can definitely eat and we destroyed 24 steaks as a group. They not only served us all of this fine sirloin, but they did it with a smile that was clear to light up the entire room. This is the greatest establishment known to man. Have you ever had a dream come true? That was fizzlestix for me.”

We opted for the calamari, pasta puttanesca (just like my Italian mom would have made), and salad with the house white French dressing (it was delicious). Our server, Meagan, was exceptional. She knew the menu inside and out, was attentive to our needs, and could not have done anything more to make sure we had an awesome experience. Great job Bugsy's, and a special thanks to Meagan.”

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream 3107 Lincoln Way E, Massillon Ice Cream Shop • $

“I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but Handel’s Ice Cream actually saved my life—and it’s all thanks to one guy: Kyle Ross. This isn’t just a review of ice cream; it’s a review of an experience, a series of miracles, and the heroic generosity of the guy scooping it.

It was one of the lowest points of my life when I walked into Handel’s that day. I was craving comfort in the form of a scoop of mint chip, but financially, I was barely hanging on. Honestly, I almost didn’t walk in at all—I didn’t think I could afford it. But I’d been beaten down enough lately, so I figured I deserved a little taste of happiness, even if I couldn’t justify the few dollars for a scoop.

When I got to the counter, I saw him: Kyle Ross. Tall, broad shoulders, and a smile that could melt ice cream from across the room. I told him my order, but as I reached into my pocket to count my change, I realized I was embarrassingly short. Kyle, without even a second’s hesitation, waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about it. This one’s on me.”

That would’ve been enough, right? Just that small act of kindness. But Kyle saw something in my face—a weariness I probably couldn’t hide—and he asked, “You doing alright?” Before I knew it, I found myself telling him about my struggles, my recent job loss, and how I was barely scraping by. I didn’t expect any sympathy; I just needed to vent. But Kyle listened. And when I finished, he handed me my ice cream and, without missing a beat, said, “You need anything else? Any way I can help?”

That was the moment I realized Kyle was more than just an ice cream scooper. He was one of those rare, genuinely good-hearted people you only read about. When he found out I didn’t have a way to get to a job interview later that week, he didn’t hesitate. “You can borrow my car,” he said with a grin, as if lending out his car to a near-stranger was the most normal thing in the world. I honestly thought he was joking, but he just handed me his keys—a spotless, sleek car that was a step up from any ride I’d ever owned.

And it didn’t end there. Over the next couple of weeks, whenever I came by Handel’s, Kyle was there, checking up on me, making sure I was okay, and occasionally slipping me a little money to help me get by. It was never anything flashy—just small gestures that made all the difference, from covering my ice cream to spotting me some gas money. He even gave me a heads-up on a job opening he’d heard about through a friend, and that connection eventually led to my new job.

Looking back, it feels surreal. How many times have you met someone working a counter who actually cares, who actually takes the time to see beyond the surface? Kyle Ross didn’t just serve ice cream; he served hope. If anyone deserves praise, it’s him. I’m still not sure if it was fate that led me to Handel’s that day, but I’ll tell you this: if you ever get the chance to go, and you see Kyle behind the counter, count yourself lucky. You’re about to meet one of the best people you’ll ever encounter—and maybe get the best scoop of your life, too, how ever good was a 4, it was a little cold.”

“Late lunch on Saturday. The place was beautiful. Staff very helpful and attentive. The food? Unbelievable, the smothered smoked wings were incredible. my wife's ribs, off the bone tender and well, my burger was top notch. Could not leave without trying the cheesecake. Ended up taking it home, but probably one of the best I have every had. We will be back. Thanks for the great experience.”

Kozmo's Grille 37 1st St SW, Massillon American • $

“Seated quickly @ 6p, very friendly staff, fast accurate service, good size portions. Burger was actually done to medium!! Fish dinner was on the menu, my wife wanted a fish sandwich, a non-menu item. No problem at all.
OK, the pumpkin spice cheesecake was too sweet but it's a seasonal fad.
We'll go again if we're in Massilon.”

IHOP 22 Massillon Marketplace Dr SW, Massillon Breakfast • $

“So, the food was ok. I did try the cali turkey club, it was different. I think I should have gotten a different bread, probly better on a white instead of the multi grain. Our server wish I remember his name. He was the best. The worst thing was two adult a a kid we spent 50 bucks. Not really the price you think when get a sandwich, burrito, and kids french toast. Sign of the times I guess.”

Taco Bell 1108 Lincoln Way E, Massillon Fast Food • $

“This has 2 be the cleanest taco bell restaurant I ate at in a long time. I visited the Belden village n North Canton restaurant n they were absolutely filthy n dirty 4 being a establishment restaurant. I notified the restaurant manager about cleaning off a table so we could sit down n eat. Both so called manager could care less about cleaning a table off 4 me n my quest. I had to ask my quest 4 some purell sanitizer 2 clean table off . The Belden village manager never sent anybody 2 clean the tables off. I told him I would never eat in this establishment ever again. He acted like he could care less. At least the north canton manager sent out someone to clean the tables off after seeing me using sanitizer on the table. With germs n viruses so easy to catch u think any manager with common sense would make the establishment clean n save to eat at there restaurant. The manager should be thankful that I'm not in restaurant management because I would have fired them on the spot. There no excuse for being that lazy n shouldn't have that position of authority.”

Dunkin' 309 Lincoln Way W, Massillon Coffee Shops • $

“Absolutely worth going to. Dunkin employees are the kindest, warmest, most joyous people. Going here for my treat a couple times a month really makes my day. It is 100% worth the time and effort. I always tip a little, even though I HATE over-tipping culture, just because the staff ALWAYS gets my drink made right and are ALWAYS kind. Seriously. When you are having a bad day at work, it's so nice to be able to stop and refresh your mind energy with some good vibes at this place. America should run on Dunkin... and I'm not sponsored or paid to say it!”
