“Our party of 3 ate here after the Peace Race after our usual spot was closed for a private event. What a great find! Everyone was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the food was excellent! I had the shrimp & grits with the gumbo. Wow! Better than I’ve had in some southern restaurants. I got to sample the smoked wings as well and what a steal at a dozen for $15. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town. Best wishes for future success!”
“Excellent venue for ceremony & wedding receptions. Formerly a restaurant & train station. This wedding & event center is beautiful inside. The outside needs restoration and painted but so much history. Definitely recommend this venue if you are looking for a very cool venue & a historical site in Youngstown.”
“This is hands down my favorite restaurant. With so many establishments serving mediocre food, we can always count on a great meal at Springfield Grille. The service is above and beyond, also. Highly recommend!”
“I've been going to this bar for decades they the person that runs it is so sweet it's a good crowd there's no drama there's some cool music good food and cold beer like you're hanging out in somebody's basement and everybody's saying hello and laughing and it's a calm wonderful place to go their food's good their company's good”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Very good! Will definitely be back! Soba was amazing. The interior and atmosphere was also very nice.”
“Went there for the Vday pop up. Atmosphere was awesome! A lot of effort went into it. The Roasted chicken dinner may have been the best chicken dinner I had at restaurant, I am
Well traveled and dined so I have tasted many. Everything about it was fantastic! Another person at my table got it and thought so as well! 5 stars the the Chef, waitress, and the overall venue. Thank you for giving us a reason to pop out downtown!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“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!”
“I go once a week. I love the coffee, but it’s really upsetting that it’s a different price every time I go. Yesterday it was around $7.35 cash for an iced latte. It’s sometimes $7 with cash … very inconsistent and I don’t know if they are ringing the drink up wrong or what the deal is. Cost is near $8 if using a card for payment.”
“It was my first time there and as soon as I walked in I felt like I was at home. Great people and owners great atmosphere. If u ever want a comfortable fun layed back evening I would definitely suggest u visit the itam. Everyone has to try it atleast once”
“We loved it. The brisket quesadilla was great. So were the ribs! Really good. The mac n cheese was a bit weird for me. Like a sour cheese or something I didn't love. I would definitely go back though. The owner was sweet and attentive. Worked hard right along with the staff.”

“Can’t say enough about Bull & Bear. I had my wife’s surprise retirement party here on Sunday and it couldn’t have been any better. The food was amazing. Everything from the wings to the pizza. Everyone commend on how good it was and plan on returning. Ben gave us full access the party room for decorating and we had it all to ourselves through the evening ( about 65 people)with Bella and Trista as are servers. Both these girls were fantastic. Whenever anything ran low, food or beverages they were there. If anyone is looking to have a small function I highly recommend The Bull & Bear on Belmont.”
“My husband I have date night at Imperial Garden about once a week. It is, without a doubt, the best Chinese restaurant in the area. The food is consistently top-notch and the servers are excellent. General Tso’s Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Crab Rangoons and the Hot and Sour soup are some of our favorite dishes. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!”
“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. ☺️”
“My family relocated here about 15 yrs ago and had tried all of the areas Chinese food. We found this place to be as close to back home as possible. The food back home is hard to match. I only wish this area had offered chicken fingers and fried chicken wings like back home, but all in all it’s a good place. I recommend it.”
“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.”
“Thank you so much for making the Dutch Apple pie for me on this past Saturday! It was DELICIOUS! My entire family loved it! It was a huge hit! 🍏🍎”
“Extremely extensive and imaginative martini menu! From a standard Dirty (my favorite) to the obscure, plus a special seasonal menu for more delicious options. Great Happy Hour values, too! Perfect place to meet adult friends who also enjoy drinking martinis!”

“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.”
“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!”
“Thank you for hosting our wedding reception! The food was amazing! The space was lovely and your staff were pros! So accommodating, flexible and had great ideas! Thank you for helping to decorate, serve our guests and tear down! I highly recommend this restaurant and staff for your large party needs♥️”
“We love Papa GeGe’s and the staff AND the food. The food is AMAZING. We love that it’s a BYOB. I think the veal Parmesan is the best I have ever had. I ordered it twice. The soup is amazing. We really enjoyed the cannoli. Beast Italian food around, hands down!!!”
“Was looking on Google for a chicken spot and came across this establishment. Very good food. Will definitely be ordering more. Next time I'll have a drink since I was pressed for time. Atmosphere was cool nice little vibe and ducked off. Music was nice and up to date. Service was prompt and swift. 10/10”

“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”
“Risers is our go-to spot! The food is absolutely top-notch, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier — they’re always welcoming and genuinely take the time to chat with you. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making every visit feel special. You won’t find many places where the owner will sit down with you at the bar and have a real conversation. Risers truly is the best!”

“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!”
“Excellent food, fresh, Hot and very friendly guys, order ahead and they have it ready for you ! 10/10 recommend !”

“Jenn made the most beautiful cookies I could have ever imagined for my baby shower! From the very beginning, the whole process was so simple! I emailed her with my inspiration pictures and heard back from her on the very same day and she even had a quote for me within a few hours! I would HIGHLY recommend her for cookies that taste just as good as they look! We will definitely be supporting her small business again in the future & appreciate how wonderful her work is!”
“The wings!!!!!!! So dang good , couldn’t find anyone here in the Mahoning valley to do wings right until we thought we’d give you guys a try on New Year’s Eve and wow, the best wings I’ve had in a very very long time. Customer service was great as well. Got them To-go and we’re still perfect when we got home nice crisp and tasty!!! We will def be back again again and again!! Thankyou for being such a great establishment already and we’re just first time customers ❤️”

“awesome people, great atmosphere, always a good time, prices great, have an appreciation for their customers, happy hour, pool tables are awesome, bowling, darts etc. open mic night is always a good time, won't disappoint”
“Vel is always so friendly and welcoming at every single Farmer’s Market I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her at. Her krispies are always consistent and fresh. The flavor is on point each time.”
Cheap Eats
“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.”
“Came here for the .50 cent wing Wednesday. Smashed on wings of course, but also did the bologna sandwich. It was as good as the reviews said. Friend had the egg and pepper sandwich, and that was good also. Fries were good. Solid place for good food and drinks.”
“They squeezed us in super last minute and took great care of us! Appetizers and pizzas were great! Thanks guys!”
“Hello!!! I can't say enough about a fine establishment, The staff is very friendly, and the soul food is very delicious. Catfish, haddock, perch, smelts, fried okra, and that banana pudding is out of sight. I have been a friend of the family for many years. Oh!! We can't forget the fried chicken, Oh My Goodness, Please patronize Harmony Grille and you will be blessed. Hi Andre and family!!!. Love you with the love of the Lord for He has kept you. Corrine Lawson 🙏🍌🐣🐇💕”
“My husband and I tried both a dinner chicken bento box and their sushi roll special for the day. Their portions were amazing for the very good price level, and the ingredients were fresh! They were quick with order completion, as well. Highly recommend this gem, as it’s now in my top 10 for affordable and delicious food in the Boardman and Canfield area!”
“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.”
“THE original. 70 years ago, I can remember my grandfather taking us there for a treat. It is EVERY bit as good today, as it was back them. I remember when the lines were 20-30 people deep waiting to be served, in the summer time. This is my first trip back to the original shop, in the past 5 or 6 years. Still every bit as good.”
“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.”
“I grew up in Youngstown in the 50s, an Italian kid from Brier Hill, so I have pretty strong opinions about my food.
This place should have TEN stars. Daughter had eggplant parmigiana. I had the beans and greens and the veal braciole with penne pasta. The sauce was the best! Veal was tender. I was going to eat half but it was SO good! Coffee was dark, strong and smooth. Waitress took great care of us, keeping the coffee and bread coming.
Because I had a 40 minute drive home, I forsook the Negroni. Next time, and there will be a next time”
“My son reserved the larger room for his engagement party. It was perfect. The staff was wonderful to work with, the food, drinks, decor…all fantastic. We had a wonderful time. It could not have been nicer. Thank you so much for everything you did to make our evening so memorable.”
“Lamb returns after a couple year layoff. George and Ann Dubic celebrated her birthday. Great lamb on the spit and festive crowd as you can see. With Mahoning Valley Guru admin .Joe Chiovitti .”
“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.”

“Had Dr. appointment up the road this morning, asked for decent place to eat near by; boy, did we get one! Kathy, our waitress was extremely sociable, efficient, and Johnny on the spot! 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!”
“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!”

“I go once a week. I love the coffee, but it’s really upsetting that it’s a different price every time I go. Yesterday it was around $7.35 cash for an iced latte. It’s sometimes $7 with cash … very inconsistent and I don’t know if they are ringing the drink up wrong or what the deal is. Cost is near $8 if using a card for payment.”

“I went in for Mother's day and not only did the Mother's receive a free bowl, but we received a beautiful red rose as well. Almost brought tears to my eyes that a company is celebrating us mom's in the most special ways. Thank you Bibibop for making me feel so special for Mother's Day!!!!”
