    Pre dinner- St Paddy's

    Awesome poutine with short rib. Bartender, Amazon, very customer oriented. Great positive attitude and smile. Seating is ample, plenty of room at the bar as well.

    Poutine $14
    Summer C.

    Got here on a Friday night, it was busy and was trying to find a bar seat which we got lucky and found. I got a maine cider that the bartender let me sample and enjoyed; Triple jam. We split poutine, dry rub wings and a onion mushroom pizza. I think I saw on a picture review the poutine was $9, we paid $14. As a poutine addict I can't say I thought it was very good. Gravy was a bit cold and just not flavorful. Cheese curds were good. The pizza was fair, was a bit too cheesy for me and could have used more sauce. I also had a slice on my plate and the bartender without asking me if I was done took it from me, I didn't love it so I let it go to waste, but call out to them you should always ask the customer if finished. The wings were definitely the best part. Dry rub was so good, not messy and the wing meat just fell apart and was very good. I did get forgotten for a moment when ordering a high noon, but it happens and it was busy. The place is very loud with people talking to if you aren't into loud noises this wouldn't be the spot. No parking.

    Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich

    After placing our drink orders, we were excited to try the nachos, pretzels and pizza (which were all recommended to us), but only when we shared our order did the waitress mention their oven was down, so the nachos, pizza and pretzels weren't available. We would have left and come back, but we already had our drinks, so we decided to stay. We ordered garlic parm wings and the short rib grilled cheese. 8 wings with no celery, carrots or blue cheese was $14. We did request a side of blue cheese which ended up being no more than a tablespoon and a 50 cent charge. While the wings had decent flavor, they weren't very crispy. The grilled cheese had a generous portion of meat and the onion rings were tasty. I ate what looked like a small onion ring, but ended up being a piece of fried fish, which was a bit of a surprise. It's a cute spot right in downtown Canton and has a great bar area to watch a game. Perhaps we went on an off night, but not sure we'll be back.

    The reason I wanted to come by was because of their dessert selection, but my boyfriend and I decided we get small plates too. Service was a little slow, but we did show at a later time when the staff was a bit preoccupied with the drinking crowd, understandably so. Surprisingly enough, the drinking crowd around the bar which is most of the restaurant wasn't loud to the point we couldn't converse with each other which was nice. The drinks were delicious and came out quick. So did the food, but heres where the last star for this review got knocked off. The fish tacos were absolutely delicious. They were so good I wanted to order another order togo. But the nachos were not it. I bet they are typically good, and the toppings were loaded on top which is always a good sign for a nacho plate, but the buffalo chicken for whatever reason did not taste up to par. Something was off, there was a taste to it that I can't quite explain but it was almost like the pan they used for the chicken was used for something prior and they just didn't clean it because again, it just had some taste going on that was just not it. Not to mention, my boyfriend who ordered it is a spice enthusiast, and he didn't even get a buffalo flavor. Aside from that hiccup though, we will definitely be returning!

    Meet up with some friends here and had a wonderful time! We were all arriving at different times and the staff was more than accommodating about that! Our waitress was excellent. She had an incredible memory and didn't have to write anything down. Not to mention, she was very attentive and friendly too. When I entered, I didn't know what to expect with the food and I was very happy with my meal. I ordered the power bowl, and my friends ordered pizza/fries. Everyone enjoyed their food. After we finished eating, we went to the bar to enjoy a few drinks! We never felt rushed the entire time we were there, and the staff continuously checked in if we needed anything! As for parking, there is limited street parking that we were able to find! I'm not sure if there is more behind the building as it is on a busy main road

    First time visiting C.F. McCarty's. Some friends and I decided to stop by for lunch and I can say the food and drinks were pretty good. We ordered 2 expresso martini (can't remember the price), garlic wings ( $14), pichana wedge salad with steak ($32), house burger with cheese and fried egg ($19), kids mac and cheese ($9). The reason why I'm rating it a four is because my kid did not like the mac and cheese, i tried it, it was very bland no flavor. My kid didn't eat it. When I was asked if there were any thing wrong with the mac and cheese, I informed the waitress and nothing was done about, nothing new was offered and it was not removed from the bill. Other than the mac and cheese. Every thing else was pretty good especially the martini

    This place was really good! Their special cocktails are incredible, you can't really go wrong with any. They're sweet and unique. I am only giving 4 stars because I wasn't impressed with one of the entrees we got--the hunters chicken pasta dish. It was a bit too spicy and didn't have anything too exciting. The pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente and the cheese was good. The CF Mac pizza was bomb though. I drowned it with Parmesan cheese and loved every bite. I wish there were more short rib so the flavor can pop a little more. Overall good place. Parking on the street. Ample space inside. Friendly staff.

We were advised light snacks so figured we should probably get a base before heading that way. We walked in to the coolest Irish pub that opened up in the back. It was way bigger than I expected. We quickly ordered drinks and I ordered a Moscow mule (my go to). It was in a copper mug and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered a beer, which he enjoyed too. We ordered some oysters and corn ribs for an appetizer. I had never had corn ribs before and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I split the fish and chips and I'm really glad we did. The fish was extremely large and almost filled the plate. It was crispy and delicious. It was definitely well made. The sauce on the side was even better, too. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite and a pint.

They have a small parking lot, which would fill up quickly. We went on a very "off" time, so we were able to park in that lot. Otherwise, you'd need to find street parking.

The second time was years later cause restaurants around us ey5e packed and according to maps it looked like this place wouldn't be packed and my wife wanted us to go there again thinking it should be ready to find a seat. Well it was busy, but we were seated right away and it had room for a few more groups. As always my first criteria for an restaurants is if they bring you water when you sit. Call me picky but I have worked lots of places at a waiter and everywhere I worked the quality of every restaurant was in the details.. well here they didn't. However the waitress did remember that I asked for no ice which a lot of servers forget. It's loud like a sports bar but you can still talk at your table. The food is good and the portions huge. No one in our group could finish their meal. Plenty of parking as it's next to a hotel. A good place for a beer or a bite and the menu has a huge selection.

Fresh lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and crispy bacon was great between the Texas toast. The garlic aioli it comes with also kicks it up a notch!!! Soooooo good. Chicken wings were okay.

Ample parking outside in private lot. Highly recommend.
