Looks like a dive bar and took me a while to check them out. I should not have waited that long. The owner went to our table to introduce himself and thank us for trying them out, which was appreciated. Food was great and the price was really reasonable. read more

The service is great and food is even better. The burgers are 10 ounces and the best in town. All the food is great from pork chops to steaks and not to forget the fish. You can't go wrong here. The place is noisey however but the food is worth the noise. Prices are very fair also with specials daily. read more

Huge burgers that were delicious. Joey personally greeted our table. Downhome local flavor.

This Joey's Kendal Tavern is HUGELY underrated. Now don't get this place confused with fine dining. However, this place has some of the best bar cookin' I have ever had. Their strong points on the menu are hamburgers, steak sandwiches, fresh cut fries, salads and their near perfect mix of Diet Coke. Keep Rockin'! #MattJasonRocks #KeepRockin read more

Loved this place. Almost went back to something from our last visit to Canton, but decided at last minute to switch it up. So glad we did! The fried mozzarella was amazing. All the food was delicious. Friendly staff as well! read more

Joey's Kendal Tavern Great food and service, there Philly cheesesteak is the best around. I drive from Canton to joey's for the hamburger the fresh cut French Fries. We also love those onion rings, they are so go good and crispy we love everything right with Joey's Kendal Tavern. The prices are hard to beat you get a lot for your money read more

Great burgers. Wonderful staff. We drove here from Brooklyn. Worth the trip. Warm friendly. But they have funny accents. I don't have an accent read more

The burgers are amazing! I'm sure everything else is also, but I've only ever got burgers because they are so good! Lol

The mushroom Swiss burger was very bland. The mac and cheese bites took forever to come. And there were only 4 for 7 dollars. They have unsweetened tea but not sweet. Service was good. read more

We came here with friends on Saturday night. I ordered the fried fish dinner that came out over cooked and rubbery. The salad and fries were great. My husband ordered the Reuben and said it was wonderful. I ended up requesting a burger instead with provolone and grilled onions. Again, it came out missing onions but I was tired of complaining and everyone else at my table was almost Done eating at this point. The burger was incredible, even without the onions, and it was huge. I wish I had just ordered this to begin with. Next time we come, I will just get a burger. The mozzarella sticks were also homemade and delicious. read more

Had a great meal! Great atmosphere. The owner even came over and introduced himself and sat and talked to my nephew and I. read more

Always delicious food with great service by a locally owned small business operator. Love having a neighborhood restaurant!

Great food but not room to park places . And the place is crowded to much it seems for seniors . Food is a bit greasy at times as well .

Catered for my granddaughters wedding. Did not get the meat we were promised ( 90% of those who chose it left it on their plate). Overpriced and they were an hr late. Very unprofessional, owner making inappropriate comments to female guest. Do not recommend! I give them a 1/10 read more

Great place for an outstanding burger, fresh cut fries, and super service! All at a very reasonable price. 10x better than fast food at pretty much the same cost. If Joey happens to be there when you visit it is worth the price of admission just to chat with him! Support a long time local business instead of a chain. Don't let the current street repair situation deter you from going in. Well worth the effort! read more

Very good steaks and great prices. Quick and professional service. Nestled in the North side of Massillon and if you want ice cream after your meal. You can walk over to Dairy Queen read more

Great food! Great prices! Excellent service! A Tigertown tradition for many years. Not your average bar food.

All though it may not look like much on the outside the burgers in that restaurant are the best I have ever had. The french fries were good. I got the breakfast burger and it was very good. The yolk was flowing out of the egg and the bacon was cooked perfectly. I am being very serious when I say that they had the best burgers I have ever had (and I've had very good burgers) but these topped them all. read more

Great burgers. Solid local spot for great burgers. Also the cheese sticks are very good too!

Fantastic food! Never had a bad meal and portions are great! The spaghetti sauce rocks. Can't say enough about the burgers..gotta try the Joey. Joey always makes you feel welcome. read more

Good food. Friendly service. Clean. Week known locally owned and satisfying. Good value for the money.

Best little bar with Amazing food and portions. The staff is always great! Hamburgers are amazing and the French fries.

Quality food, clean and well decorated with some really cool stuff. The owner and chef checked on us and made sure we were happy- and we were! Highly recommended. read more

This isn't close to us, but based on the recommendations from Yelp and the other reviews, we decided to drive about 20 mins to give it a try. First off, after we were seated we were greeted by Joey himself. This is someone who is very invested in his community and his customers. He was very friendly and great with our boys who were with us. The food was great. We specifically went to try the burgers and they were large, well cooked, and delicious. The fresh cut fries were also good. Prices are very reasonable, portions are large, everyone is friendly. We will definitely be back. read more

Service is hit and miss. Food is good. Atmosphere is just okay. Will frequent only when a group of friends suggest so.

Great burger! The staff is friendly and get their orders out fast! I like their western burger ( with bbq sauce and onion ring) fries are legit too! If the owner Joey is working, he'll likely stop by and ask you how everything is. Not many places like this around anymore. Go while ya can! read more

Good food and drinks . And the customer service was fantastic. Keep up the great work!

This place is very friendly. I talked to 3 different people and the owner introduced himself to us. Anymore most places just want you to come in and eat and that's it. This is a place to meet and relax. Plus the burgers were huge and had tons of flavor. I would highly recommend this place. read more

The burgers are huge and absolutely fantastic! They butter the buns which adds to the overall experience as well. The onion rings are top notch! This place is a little hole in the wall bar pretty much but the service is great and food is excellent every single time. read more

Best steak salad in town. $5 burger night is the best. Kinda like cheers. Everyone knows your name

The atmosphere is dark, old dive bar but the burgers were large and juicy. Ordered my burger medium well but was more like medium because it was thick in the middle. Had a good flavor and juice ran down my face when I bit into it. Guy at bar, who I assumed was the owner, was loud and came over and talked to us. Presume he was a little hard of hearing as he went in the back to take a phone call an we were able to enjoy every expletive that he uttered to the person on the other end. Food was good, atmosphere a little dark and musty for my taste. read more

This is, by far, the best food ever! Friendly staff too. I get a burger, onion rings and vodka. The perch is awesome too. The soups are all made right there from scratch. Joey thanks every person as they leave and goes around to every table to make sure your food is the way you like it. My favorite place to eat for sure. read more

Every time we eat here, I am even more pleased than I was the time before. Last night I enjoyed the best fish and asparagus I've ever eaten. The fries are amazing! The salads are fantastic. The burgers... they melt in your mouth. They are definitely hand made. Joey and his team makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. He's the kind of guy who's an old friend ten minutes after you meet him. Love Joey's! read more

This little bar has fabulous food great little Neighborhood Place, and Wednesday night five dollar burger night fries can't beat it you got to check it out read more

We drove 40 minutes to try this place, and definitely were not disappointed. The burgers were delicious. You can tell they are handmade, not frozen patties - thick, cooked to order and really, really good. We sat at the bar and had excellent service. The bartender recommended the cheese sticks for an appetizer, as they are also handmade - another decision we did not regret. I think our only regret was being too full to try the homemade crab cakes for dinner as well as the burgers. Definitely a great neighborhood bar. read more

Have been here twice, got different meals both times and have not been disappointed! Got a barbecue burger the first time and it was HUGE! Could only eat half. The second time I got the Rockytop chicken (as pictured) which was also very yummy. My boyfriend is in love with their philly sandwich. Joey made us feel so welcomed and our server was friendly, as well. Great portions for the price. Nothing but good things to say! Will definitely be one of our regulars! read more
