Native Son is the best in East Texas! We have driven from Tyler several times and the service, food and atmosphere are consistently wonderful! The banana pudding alone is worth an hour drive! The atmosphere is cozy, great for an intimate date night or with a group.
Great food and excellent servers. Interesting and tasty cocktails. So nice to live music at night to enjoy historic Canton.
Highly recommend the pork chop, great flavor, thick and juicy, large cut. Great service, friendly staff, owner appears to have carefully and selectively prepared the menu- can’t wait to go back and see what else I love.

Based on the reviews, Native Son Family Restaurant is a wonderful small, cozy setting with a neat local vibe in an old building. The food is incredible, absolutely delicious, and amazing. Specific meals mentioned include homemade chicarrones with ranch romoulade, red fish with butter sauce, brussels, bacon, butter beans and buerre monte, gumbo canard, warm banana pudding with bruleed banana, the BEST waffle fries, smoked pork chop and cheese grits, airline chicken breast and sweet potatoes, fire roasted oysters, grilled catfish, and fried catfish. The service is impeccable, very attentive, and aims to please. The staff is warm, welcoming, and very friendly, and the owner checks on guests. It is a comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable place. Highly recommend and a must return.
