Best fall off the bone ribs you may ever have..I have never gotten anything else besides them when I go there..always plenty of sauce with them as well read more

Service and Ambiance great. Even the young man holding the door open for you was so pleasant. Four of us had dinner each eating something different and we were more than please. I got the special. Half serving Lasagna and stuff Italian pepper. Both Great!! read more

Table for 16! We needed a spot for a family outing and we immediately thought of John's Bar & Grill. The food was really good however the service wasn't the best. It took over an hour to get our food, but I guess that is to be expected with a table as big as ours. I normally would have sweated it, however we had young ones and they were not having it. I had fish with vegetables both were cooked to perfection. I will try again with a smaller group to see if they will get that last star. read more

We went to John's Bar for lunch. I ordered a cheeseburger with bleu cheese. The burger was so overcooked (burnt) that I could not finish it. The bun was stale. The server promised to take care of it and came back with taking off 1/2 of the price of the burger. I was not happy. read more

Good solid bar menu. Friendly service I tried the French Dip with french fries. Shared some wings and hummus as appetizers. Ambiance is nice, with the exception of the smell. The entrance area has a strong overpowering odor of cleaning products. This is a classic Canton institution and I had wanted to come here for awhile, and I can hardly believe that I am just now trying it out. Solid menu and experience. read more

Went last night for dinner. Really not impressed with food. Pretzel appetizer with cheese, generic. Land burger itself was good. Not great. Mushrooms and jalapeño right out of can. Servers were very good and attentive. Atmosphere friendly. read more

The food was so good. Service was quick and helpful and courteous. The ambience is very nice. I will definitely be back.!

My Wife and I love John's. The food is always good. Service is normally very good. We love they brought most of the old ambiance from the old place. The biggest downfall is the noise. The last few times we've been there, the noise was too much to bear. You couldn't here the server and we were unable to carry on a conversation with the person sitting next to you. It's been over a couple months since we've been back, even though we live about 2 miles away. Have no plans of going back any time soon due to the noise. read more

Our first visit to this new location. The service was great but our steaks were so fibrous that it was hard to cut them into pieces. Very disappointed, Probably will go again but not likely to order filet there again. read more

Worst service ever.....actually no service. Sat in booth in the back and watched every waitress and waiter in the restaurant walk by at least 2 times. Not one of them even looked at us. After 26 minutes we left. Pathetic. We won't be back. read more

The 5 of us all had different menu items and each one was terrific. From the burger to the scrod and bbq rib tacos, it was all perfect. The restaurant was busy and had live music on a Tuesday, which surprised us. It was a nice crowd, not too noisy or rowdy. A nice night out thanks to John's. read more

So stinkin' happy to see John's open again in a cool location, occupying a spot in the new and improved Oakwood Plaza. The chips with dip make a great starter for the table. I'm partial to the rueben, onion rings and salads. Friends love the skins, French dip, and burgers. John's is just one of four eating/drinking establishments in a row, so you can do a pub crawl and try them all. Or...check out John's for breakfast because they open at 7! Oh, and please note that they are closed on Sundays, which may sound strange but if it keeps the workers sane it is worth it. read more

Very good food, nostalgic atmosphere. Low key. Very cool bar and I live within walking distance!

Ordered a Burger at the bar and it was one of the best I ever had. The 3 stars is because the barmaid was one of the worst I ever encountered. Cold, unfriendly, no hello, thank you or good bye. She must be related to the owner for him to hire the exact opposite of what is called for at a bar.. Avoid the bar! read more

I was at John's on Saturday June 8th -the service was horrible- we sat at the outside bar waited over 10minutes for someone to wait on us & no one did. We then went and sat at the inside bar and the bar tender was horrible-she was rude, interrupted my wife when asking a question about the crab cakes on their special's menu. I asked for an ice water she forgot, and I ended up asking one of the girls who was bringing out glasses from the back if she could get it for me. The bar tender never apologized for forgetting. Our food took forever and let me add they were not that busy. We were the only ones sitting on that end of the bar and there were tables open throughout. We noticed another couple sat at the outside bar where we started, and the bar tender was quick to get someone to them. We ordered appetizers that came with our food not before. We got the zucchini planks-gross no flavor. The only thing good was our burger. What is disappointing is that the owner/manager was sitting at the end of the bar where we were sitting and when I made the statement about not coming back ever again (because he had changed the tv from baseball to golf and then went to change it back for us-we actually told him don't bother and that's when I said we won't be coming back) he didn't say anything to us. I can't remember the last time we had bad service like this. If I didn't know any better, I would say you are anti- LGBTQA+. The bar tender is lucky I tipped her at all because I wasn't going to. I was going to leave a note on the receipt, but my wife stopped me and pointed out if they cared the owner/manager would have said something to us. He was too busy watching everything, along with getting his food and beer, and then a woman joined him and the two were whispering. You should be ashamed of how this experience was. If you would like to reach out to me my number is 234-207-3538 my name is Melissa C. I will let everyone I know we will NOT be returning. read more

Still good, but the new place has lost some of the old school warmth and corner bar feel of the previous location.

Great food. Reasonable prices. Family atmosphere. Servers make you feel loved...especially Matt.

We keep coming back hoping for better service. The breakfast waitresses are so unfriendly. No one smiles or asks you how you're doing. The service is very slow. read more

A nice local bar that has been around a loooong time. A Canton staple. Nothing too special, but a solid place to get a meal.

Haven't been here in 15 yrs tonight i brought my son and mom....very good service friendly lady to greet us...nothing fancy abour interior but i prefer that. A steak salad was ordered by my mom...my lil guy has a huge appetite ge got steak rice and onion rings...i git the dijon filet on a stick...2 appetizers and a dinner to go all for $86 thats a bargain read more

Went here for the first time last night and loved it! We got heggys nut sampler for an appetizer, and I got ribs and home fries as my meal. It was all very good and those home fries were amazing! Got peach cobbler with ice cream and mint chocolate cheesecake for dessert, sooo good!! Staff was very friendly too, definitely recommend...I'll definitely be going again. read more

Terrible service. Waited almost 2 hours after ordering for food. Took 25 minutes just to get waited on. Do not recommend at all. Terrible customer service. read more

This review Is for a lunch visit. John's has been around forever and I have not been there for 20 years. Although, when I walked in it seemed exactly as I remember it and that is a good thing. This is a great neighborhood bar / restaurant that serves solid food and has good service. Their soups are homemade and the menu has a variety of sandwiches, salads and entrees. I had the buffalo chicken wrap which was spicy and loaded with fresh lettuce and tomato. The salads are large and tasty. I hope this place stays just like it is! read more

Ordered a medium California in Canton. The well done burger came with no avocado. After I choked down what I could I remembered it should have had avocado. Asked about it at bill pay and was told we are out of avocados today. The one ingredient that makes it a California hamburger! Then she proceeded to belittle me by offering to take off the $.50 which she claimed was the difference but is not. Ate outside on beautiful evening with car show and dj, but they chose to pipe their own crappy clashing music over that. Not going back. read more

My husband and I were in Canton for a night and I found this place on Yelp. The reviews were mixed on Here but I don't normally trust them so we gave it a try. So glad we did!! This place is a gem!! The staff was great, the food was awesome!! Very much like a Cheers bar!! The local folks welcome everyone! Ana was our bartender and couldn't have been nicer!! We ordered the calamari for our appetizer and it was absolutely amazing!!! A must try!! We each had a different burger and onion rings and they were awesome as well!!! We'll definitely be back when we're in town!!! read more

Buddy and I stopped at the recommendation of another friend that has been going there since his college days. Soon as we walked in you get the sense of the older decor but has a great look and feel. We were sat quickly and our waitress was right there taking our drink order. Good beer selection! I got the French Dip Italian Beef with fries and my buddy got a burger with sweet potato fries. No complaints! Missed the specials listed on the back of the beer selection menu. Saw a couple items I would've considered so I'll be going back! I'd recommend it to other friends and family! read more

Such a great spot that's out of the typical dining places in the area. The atmosphere fits the name & that's it's a little more "vintage" feel, but has kept up with some dining trends. They have some good, unique craft beers on tap & a pretty trendy cocktail list. Service is usually good, but can be a little slow at times. Everyone is friendly & helpful though! As far as food, the French onion soup is by far the best I've had! Their ribs are great & huge! Burgers are good, fries fresh cut & salads are good with homemade dressings. Overall a great spot if you are looking for a local place out of the Belden/strip area. read more

I haven't been to John's Bar and Grille since they were at their old location. I'm so glad I came to the new location! Great food, great service, and the whole atmosphere was comfortable. I'll be back!! read more

We are so happy that John's relocated to Plain Township. We enjoyed a family get together tonight. We started at the bar where the service was excellent, and then moved to our table to enjoy the usual great food. My shrimp was very good, my husband like his steak, and one daughter recommended the filet mignon while another enjoyed a fettuccine dish. The desserts looked delicious. Our waiter was funny and attentive. read more

We ate here shortly after it opened. Food and service were fine. However, just tried to order carry out at 5:30 on 2/19/22 and was told they "weren't doing that today". (We had tried on Valentine's Day and were told, not doing it because of Valentine's Day, it was around 4:00.) My husband asked the employee, a male, no name given, if they EVER do take out and the man said "depends on the day". What a flippant attitude! Oh well, there are plenty of other places to eat! read more

One of my favorite places to eat when visiting. Tavern style pub with great food and unique beers on draft. I've never been disappointed. Burgers are phenomenal and the scrod is fresh. Whatever you order you won't go wrong. read more

John's Bar and Grill is always a good time. The food is fabulous. The staff is very kind. Very good food selection.

Beautiful new location. It was our first time here. All was pretty good. Food was hot and came out fast from the kitchen. Our server was very inattentive so we went most of the meal with out drinks which I thought was server 101. We will try again before making a final decision on on future visits. read more

Sharon ,I always looked forward to Friday because John's has THE BEST potato soup, I got it every Friday as well as take out for my co-workers at the eye surgeons office downtown but they have changed it, who makes it, Idk but it's recently not very good at all and it was basically a tradition, but we won't be ordering it again unfortunately and it's kinda sad, the original was creamy and delicious and now it's super chunky and way too many onions. read more

I like John's Bar and Grille. Always have and always will. Been coming so long it was here I saw my first laptop and was amazed it worked without a cord. Have enjoyed myself alone, with a date, with family, friends and even children. Unique combination of rooms, tables, booths and even privacy. No long waiting for lunch/dinner to arrive. Top shelf bar and dining areas now overseen by the fourth generation of the same family. Friendly and always good service. Filled with locals but others always welcomed and will leave as friends. Parking in front or back in private lot. read more

Great family style bar & grill. Good local craft beer selection on tap. The food comes out in good sized portions and is always tasty. I recommend the stick on a stick meal. It comes with a nice garlic butter on it with two sides. read more

Havent been here in years... had to drop a buddy off over by 19th st.. so we decided to eat here... so i ll start off with the only thing that made me mad... Our waitress never told us the specials?!?!? Even though she did a terrific job she forgot this very important piece! They had an item on there i wanted but i already ate my dinnner!?!!? Besides that the porm chops were fantastic, the old lady ordered scrod which she said was pretty good, and my daughter ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap which she said was a little too spicy but she ate it all... Oh ya... the FRENCH ONION SOUP... Get it.. no questions Service was good (with the exception above) I ll start to visit hete more often read more

Great prices for classic breakfast dishes. I can't rate their lunch and dinner menus but breakfast is good. I personally like the eggs bacon and toast. Every time I've been here I've had good service. read more

The service was fast and fantastic! The food was great. It's a nice atmosphere and you can tell they have a solid operation. I always look to see the frequency of food being delivered to tables and this place has it down! read more
