Restaurants in Youngstown

“We have gone here many times as a couple and several times as part of groups, and have never once had a bad meal or experience. The worst thing that I can say, is that I ordered something I was unfamiliar with that was good but not what I was hoping for that day. I have ordered many dishes that I am unfamiliar with here, and have really enjoyed them. The buffet is great, and they frequently change items out. If you've never had a mango lassi before, you have to try one!”

“First time here, had Chewy as our server and he’s just the best! Wonderful food and margs. Will definitely revisit!”

“Server and host took time to speak with us to accommodate our request and make our dining experience positive.. Super friendly. Quality ingredients, fun atmosphere”

“I’ve only ordered online. It was fresh, delicious and arrived quickly. I will do it again.”

“Incredible food, excellent service. Had the Pineapple Tea, Bar-Jerk chicken and Curry chicken, with rice, cabbage and plantains. Fantastic. Highly recommend.”

“Great place. I went for the first time. I was blown away by how nice and generous the staff was. I definitely will be back!”

“take out or eat in, the food is always delicious! We picked up our dinner this evening-Enchiladas tapatio-and they were so delicious! Thank you also for including the bag of chips and salsa.”

“The wine and the food will make you feel you are in Italy !! If you go there once, you will go back. You will also tell all of your family and friends about this wonderful place!!”

“Cool place with great food”

“Delicious porky burger! Service was fast, despite them seemingly being short staffed. I got the spicy margarita, it was kind of weird, just hot shot splashed in it...”

“Absolutely amazing atmosphere 💙 the owners are beautiful people and very helpful! I’ve been battling so much with eating healthy and wanting to change my habits because we don’t have many places here in town but THIS PLACE is one you NEED to try! You won’t be disappointed. It’s the best vegan food I’ve ever tasted and kindness goes a long way and on a day like today when I genuinely needed it they delivered 🙌🏾 thank you all!! You have a lifetime customer”

“Megan the queen always knows got a cute hat on and always is friendly! She has my drink already being made before I touch my seat she’s always on it! Megan is the best!”

“Their portions have gotten a lot smaller over the last year. Even a Dairy Queen small portion is larger than Handel’s now. I guess all good things must end.”

“Amazing food! Fast service”

“Excellent food but even better drinks , amazing top shelf margarita”

“Wonderful luncheon menu everything full of flavor and very filling price point was perfect”

“We love this place, the staff is very friendly and professional and make you feel like family... The owners are always in house and are some of the nicest people you can meet and the food is amazing”

“Have been going here most of my life, since they've usually had the best Chinese food in the area. Ordered Chicken with Chinese mixed vegetables asking for a brown sauce and fried rice. It was delicious. The sauce was spot on with a nice variety of real Chinese veggies. Pao outdid himself. They are always friendly and accommodating when you request a white or brown sauce. Other things we often order include General Tso's chicken, Kung Pao chicken, Hunan chicken, Sweet & Sour chicken, Chicken & Broccoli or Shrimp Szechuan and they are always delicious. ☺️”

“Grilled Chicken salad with ranch was very good. Midday service was impressively quick. Even though it is a chain, the atmosphere and conversation with the waitstaff was personal and of local flavor.”

“Very good! Will definitely be back! Soba was amazing. The interior and atmosphere was also very nice.”

“Ate there for the first time today. Celebrating my wife’s birthday. The food was excellent. We will be back for sure. I highly recommend.”

“This establishment was legit the best Chinese food I ever had. I got the sesame chicken with rice and an egg roll and their Sesame chicken was ON POINT. Perfect crispiness and flavor was great too. Props to the restaurant seriously.”

“Had the pleasure of dining at Casa Canzonetta today and everything about it was amazing ! Brought some friends down with us for dinner and we all had one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in some time. Our server, Chris, made sure everything was perfect. What an exceptionally caring, attentive and friendly person ! We will definitely be back ! I VERY HIGHLY recommend this gem in downtown Youngstown !”

“I got a delivery of Chinnese dumplings and shrimp egg foo yong and was blown away. The best Chinese food I have had in my life. Dumplings so moist with perfect texture. The ginger sauce for the egg foo yong was more ginger than gravy. Addicting!”

“The best Chinese takeout/restaurant in the area of southern Boardman. I have been ordering dinner from this location for the last 22 years. Everything they do is great! They are super helpful and the food is EXCELLENT!!!”

“My favorite chinese place ever !! The orange chicken is my favorite. So tender and juicy orange flavor. Love it ! And their egg rolls are the best ! I drive 35 mins for this chinese food. And dont forget their delicious wonton soup...add some crunchy noodles and you are all set !! 10 out of 10”

“We moved to the area about 3 years ago and have been on the hunt for great Chinese food since. We finally found it!!! Got the orange chicken, bourbon chicken & crab rangoons. Everything was so fresh and tasted beyond amazing, the man at the drive thru window was very prompt and kind. So glad we took the chance on this place; overall a fantastic experience and we will definitely be back!!”

“Belleria was a treat for my siblings and I when I was a young child. It continues to be a treat every time I visit Youngstown! It is still the best pizza in the creation of the world!!! I have enjoyed Belleria pizza for well over 40 years and counting! It's a shame that the one in Columbus ohio didn't meet the standards of the restaurants in Youngstown. Rest assured though, that I will get a large with sausage and pepperoni every time that I visit home.”

“I enjoy eating here and watching sports. I give it 5 stars, all but for one person.

There is one bartender that always has an attitude and the last time he got us waters and never came back to wait on us so another bartender helped. I normally wont let one guy ruin it for the rest but I will not order if he is there because I leave tips and I don't want to leave someone Zero. I will avoid him because every single time we go, it is something else with him and I am tired of it. He wears his glasses low on his nose and looks down on people like he is better than them. The last time he came over cussing about something and it was really busy. I've been in restaurants for 29 years so I get both sides of it. He is uncalled for.”

“There’s no way a multi million dollar chain food restaurants can be open and serve food to the public when the mens restaurant smells like absolute garbage. I visited this location a few times thinking oh it might of been that one time, giving them the benefit of the doubt; but ohh no it’s every time Ive gone to this roadhouse the mens restaurant smells like no one has cleaned it in a week.”

“Okay...okay...okay! I admit it!
I have a Dunkin Addiction!
I'm in love with the cold coffees in every flavor, especially mocha!
I cannot bring a dozen donuts in the house because I can't be trusted with them...they call me by name...damn donuts ?!!
Dunkin is an adult's playground...we have little else.”

“Foods were good , the service was slow , employees were nice 👍”

“I almost always receive great service from this location, but today was the best it ever was! As someone who majored in hospitality, I can say with complete confidence that the day shift crew that worked on October 24, 2024 are some diamonds in the rough. It is so rare that I get great hospitality, fast service, AND quality food all in one setting when it comes to fast food or even casual dining. I called to let them know that their efforts and hard work did not go unnoticed and the manager was just as friendly as the rest of the crew. Keep up the great work! And someone give those folks a raise!”

“The woman at the drive thru was extremely kind and wise. Our food was out before we could even get to the second window. It was an excellent experience, the best I have even gotten in a mcdonald’s.”

“Growing up in the area, I'm used to Handel's, so coming back to the area to visit family, it's always a treat to have a Handel's ice cream anytime if the year.

I tried the Horchata and was pleasantly surprise as I usually only get the mint chocolate chip.

Despite it being about 20°F, the service was on par.”

“As first time customers to any Twin Peaks, we had a 100/10 visit! We noticed the 29° cold beer sign and that was our cue to visit. The hostesses were kind, the food was delicious and the beer was COLD- that was the seller to return, then we met Emma, our waitress! Emma was beautifully kind inside and out. I could have given a lesser review only because of the “attitude” of the hostesses and a few other waitresses but Emma made it 100%. We will be back to visit Emma! I hope she sees this and is recognized for her over the top customer service and kindness!”

“GREAT FOOD for a GREAT PRICE! We were in Youngstown 3 days and went here for breakfast every morning. It was delicious. The service was fantastic and accommodating. We will definitely go back. You can’t beat home style breakfast.”

“I picked up some cold salads from Charly's Family Restaurant yesterday, and every single one is delicious! I highly recommend!”

“The good. The service. The atmosphere. It’s a solid A+.”

“great food very nice people. best mexican food ive ever had”

“All five stars? Well, it must have been Saturday, I must have gotten a rack of ribs with extra sauce that were smoky good, and the bartender must have done a great job taking my order and getting me a beer.

Seriously, I was absolutely impressed by the ribs. Cooked over charcoal or wood because the smoke ring was perfect, as were the ribs. No fat (NO fat!) and just a slight char on the ends. There are a lot of great rib joints around Youngstown, and since it's harder and harder to find roast lamb on Saturdays, ribs are my safety pick. The ribs at the Royal Oaks were perfect, better after I got them home and slapped them in a casserole and baked at 250 tightly wrapped for like 40 minutes. Absolutely great flavor that will impress anyone who likes a nice rack of ribs.
(A comma can change the meaning of a sentence, but not always) $25 for just a rack, no sides.”

“Great coffee and service !”

“Best pizza I’ve had in ten years. Hands down the best spot for a genuine pie for a good price. I’ll be choosing Pizza Pan in Austintown every single time going forward.”

“Always love stopping in when we are back in town visiting family! They have great beer and the bartenders are always so friendly! We’ve started bringing some of the beer home to Columbus when we’re in town!”

“It’s just always wonderful”

“always delicious consistency for years”

“We are so lucky to have Bread Chef within reach. Everything is unbelievably wonderful. I make sure I have expensive Kerry Gold butter to lavish on it's goodness.”

“Excellent service and food. Our first time visiting was 3/11/25…will definitely be back.”

“Their pizza is spectacular… when judging Youngstown pizza you gotta put them up there with the other 2 spots .. Definitely a hidden gem and now my go to spot. 😋”

“Great food , pastries, and drinks Milkshakes are delicious 🤤”

“The cookies were beautiful and perfect for our shower! Cookies tasted amazing as well. Sometimes these cookies can be hard but these were the perfect consistency! Very quick response time as well. Will definitely be getting cookies again!”

“Real deal. I searched far and wide for pizza made the way I like it. You gotta give this place a try, who knows maybe it will become your fav too. Love Liberty!”

“Buen lugar para comer comida puertorriqueña me encanta mucho el bistec, arroz y pernil que hace Arlene hoy la extrañé, no compré nada porque no la vi!! Pero si que ella tiene un sazón sabroso!!! Se merece un aumento!! 🥰”

“The food is delicious! Nice atmosphere and friendly people. We’ve been coming here for many years! Our kids who live out of town always want to go to Scarsella’s when they are home!”

“very clean and nice decor! food is good and fresh drinks are good & strong ! friendly staff i highly recommend you check the place out you won't be disappointed love that they have handcut fries !”

“We’ve been here a few times and never had anything we haven’t liked! The Pho is amazing, the Bahn Mi’s are heaven, and the coffee is wonderful! We go here everytime we can!”

“THE best Mexican restaurant in tri -county area!! We've been steady customers for years, and have never had a complaint. Excellent food and service. Couldn't recommend them more!”

“Came here with Youngstown Click to help support The Federal. Haven't been here in a while. This is the best place to get a burger. You can order a single, double, or triple. You get a lot of fries, too. A true current restaurant gem here in Youngstown.”

“Been here several times, it’s consistently good and the workers are always nice!”

“Cute little coffee shop with great coffee and food. It has a nice feel good vibe and Cindy and Gary very friendly. Prices are ridiculously inexpensive. I enjoy stopping in when I’m in the area.”

“Delicious homemade ice cream and a VERY WIDE and UNUSUAL variety of flavors to choose from!! Some of the BEST ice cream in the country, right here in the Yo! 😉”

“Their Hummus and salads are always fresh and delicious. I really appreciate the staff member recommending the Sriracha honey hummus… Just the right amount of spice and sweetness. Their gyros are packed full of meat. A great place for lunch or any of your Mediterranean food needs.”

“Never disappoints my favorites are the Superdog it has chili onions and jalapeno coleslaw And the cheddar chili dogs the fries are phenomenal I always get a cup of cheese to dip them in and I love her cherry bomb Soda highly recommend I eat there a couple times a month”

“I love handles but the prices keep going up but I’m noticing there is significantly less toppings in the ice cream. Took me half a pint of coffee chocolate chip to find more than one piece of chocolate, which has been consistent over the last few months.”

“My new favorite spot!!!! Love the atmosphere, amazing coffee, very inviting space. Def would recommend 🫶🏻”

My only regret, I forgot my leftovers that were going to be my supper! Would not only recommend, but will return when next in area.”

“Moved to Eastside of Youngstown two plus years ago. Decided to search for the best marinara sauce in an italian restaurant on the west side. Just found it at Trax! The restaurant isn't stylin' on the exterior but the food served there is DELICIOUS ! Don't know how many times I drove by there and never noticed it. Make it a point to search out it's location ,you'll be glad you did. . ( The marinara is the best I've ever had in a restarant, in fact it's all GOOD eating.)”

“We dined here first time last night for our anniversary. The Rome style theme of the restaurant did not dissapoint! We ordered the Lamb lollypops and Polpo ( octopus) for appetizers, and both were outstanding! We followed with Prima, our choices were one of the nights special of a pork ragu over pasta and the other entree was the papparadelle ragu. Both very delicious and quite filling! Ending our dinner with the Tiramisu ( best i have ever had!) and gelato were the perfect way to celebrate our day! Please understand that in the style of food service in Italy, you are expected to sit and savor your meal, so this restaurant follows suite. Loved it and will definitely return!”

“Our office in Howland recently had the pleasure of indulging in a scrumptious feast from Charlie Staples and Pitt Boss BBQ, and we were thoroughly impressed! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, coated in a rich, smoky sauce that complemented their perfectly charred exterior. The wings were equally impressive, with just the right amount of spice and a crispy skin that had us reaching for seconds. The sides were a hit as well. The coleslaw was fresh and crunchy, providing a cool contrast to the bold flavors of the meats. The baked beans were hearty and savory, and the potato salad was creamy and packed with flavor – a true crowd-pleaser. Charlie Staples and Pitt Boss BBQ didn't just deliver food; they delivered an experience. The portions were generous, allowing everyone in our office to enjoy multiple servings. If you're searching for top-notch BBQ in and near Youngstown, look no further than Charlie Staples and Pitt Boss BBQ. Their commitment to quality and flavor shines through in every bite, making them a standout choice for any occasion. Rating: 5/5 Whether it's a dental office lunch or a family gathering, Charlie Staples and Pitt Boss BBQ has our highest recommendation. We can't wait for our next opportunity to savor their exceptional BBQ again!”

“Great food, great service! We love the whipped Ricotta appetizer, we have noticed it being inconsistent, it's always good, but about half the time, it is AMAZING!”

“always delicious consistency for years”

“King sized PupCups at the drive through 😁❤️”

“Update 2025: Stopped in for a sandwich today. I was waiting patiently for someone to come to the counter when another customer came in. She walked to the other side of me and looked at the menu. When the kid came up to the counter, she quickly stepped up, ignoring the fact that I had already been waiting to order. When I tried to tell her I had been there first, she rudely gave her order instead of letting someone else go before her. One of the other employees quickly noticed and came around to wait on me at the other register. And once I received my food, the other employee apologized. I appreciated it, although I told him it was not him that was rude but the lady. I love the food here and the service is pretty good too!! Thank you for apologizing for something that was not your fault!!

When I was little, there was a sandwich factory in Warren that my mom always took me to. Then it closed (and now little wings is there, so it’s ok). When I found this one in Austintown, I was so excited and they lived up to my memories! The bread is amazing and when you add the vinegar, I melt. I’m almost drooling just thinking about their subs! I try and stop every time I go to Austintown now! Thanks for keeping a littles girls memories alive!”

“Just went here for the first time and I’m honestly blown away. I was next door and could smell the bbq in the air and it was calling my name. The pulled pork was tender and juicy, the cheesy potatoes were flavorful and filling and the house bbq sauce was my favorite. So much more on the menu I’m excited to try!”

“Grub hub order. 1st time ordering here. Food was fresh but VERY bland. I ordered fried rice with our beef n broccoli and we got white. There was hardly any sauce. Pineapple fried rice with chicken was dry. The spring rolls were very good. Read notes people and provide more sauce even the 5 spring rolls had one tiny cup of chili sauce. I guess they dont have hot mustard cause we didn’t get that either.”

“Great pizza! Sauce was very good and the pizza baked perfectly. Only downfall was the size of the pies. We're a family of 4 (two which are teens) and we had just enough ordering 2 pies. My fault was not asking the size. Also note, to get in to the pizza pickup spot, go to the bar entrance, ring the bell and when the door opens, go into the kitchen located on the left just as you walk in.”
