Samantha's is my favorite breakfast spot in Canton. This location is always spot on with their breakfast and friendly staff. Located across the street from Walsh University. I have two favorites at this Samantha's location: 1. omelette with sausage, mushrooms, and American cheese with sliced potatoes. 2. Country fried steak and eggs (over medium). Don't miss out on their cup of oatmeal! If you love breakfast food and a traditional breakfast experience, you'll absolutely love this local breakfast restaurant. read more

We went to Samantha's Restaurant this morning for my wife's birthday and everything was great! Great service, great clean atmosphere and a menu that has something for everyone. My one daughter got the Egg's Benedict and she's said it's the best she has had. I got the Farmer's Breakfast Special w/ Biscuit and a side of Sausage Gravy, fantastic! We will definitely be back, we love supporting small businesses. BOOM!!!! read more

We have been eating here for 30 yrs. It is always clean, service is always top notch and the food is consistently good, nothing fancy but always good. read more

Really sweet little place that serves a quick and yummy breakfast. Tried a northern Ohio favorite (mush) and it was much like a really good polenta. Enjoyed the vibe and service was very good. read more

Food wasn't that good. The pancakes tasted like they were used in the same pan that wasn't cleaned for at least a couple days if not weeks. The best thing was the service and the coffee. read more

We go weekly for T he salmon Benedict and a beet & shrimp or hula salad. Everything has been great and a good place t t o t a ste new things. This place thrives for excellence and being better than all others read more

I see homemade biscuits on the menu and I instantly think traditional buttermilk homemade biscuit. This was not that. This was more of a roll. Other than that... I thought the breakfast we got was OK. The wife and I got the egg, hash, meat, biscuit plate. Everything was cooked well, service was great... my coffee cup, I never saw the bottom of the cup. The thing we did try was the Bacon Cheese Stuffed Tator tots. Fantastic. I know a little odd for breakfast. But well worth it. Overall the cost was cheap, food was good, if we are back in the area... we'll be back. read more

Good food and good service. Nothing fancy but a great breakfast. Went for breakfast sausage and eggs for me and corned beef hash for wife. It was all done right. Waitress was on her first day and it was still great service. We will be going back. read more

I grew up in this area, and Samantha's was a common option for my mom and me. Back then - and I'm dating myself - they were open for dinner. I have fond memories of coming here with my mom and, when in town recently, decided to stop in for lunch. It was like stepping back in time. There were a few updates to the interior but it was largely the same (and I am 100% convinced it's the same cash register at the counter). Service was excellent. The waitress was warm and friendly. I was tempted by the German fries (my typical order) but went with the turkey bacon melt instead. It was grilled to perfection. The French fries on the side were good enough. It's the local breakfast/diner that made me fall in love with local breakfast/diners. You're not going here for a Michelin-rated experience. Enjoy the local flavor and the local gossip. read more

What a nice surprise. Samantha's was so good this morning for breakfast. It's always ok, but today was outstanding. On this cold, snowy morning with lots of cars in the parking lot, I got a booth right away and coffee within 1 minute. Everyone was sprinting around helping customers. Bacon, eggs, shredded hash browns and rye toast delivered in short order. All perfectly prepared, just like it should be!! It wasn't too noisy, a quiet conversational ambiance. Very clean and attractive. read more

Sunday morning should be a peaceful day for a breakfast but not at Samantha's. I was seated and waited 20 minutes to be served. No water and asked three different people. ...but then it got real interesting One of the employees kept shouting from the kitchen she needs to find another job, over worked etc. Employee disputes need to be taken out back. A mist snickers it was embarrassing. Not sure if this employee was a waiter or cool because was slow and food and presentation horrible. How can you mess up eggs and toast? Burn the toast and serve the eggs hard as a rock. Go to Samantha's Portage and save the disappointment. That location had great staff and more innovative menu with taste! read more

We just love Samantha's for breakfast! The staff is always friendly and the food is ssssoooo gggooooddd! My kids love the big pancakes with chocolate chips. My go to is the Greek omelet with extra feta. I don't know how they manage it but every omelet is perfect with no burn or brown spots. (I need to know how to do that!). Today we walk in and the staff looked a bit stressed. They said we only have one cook today so your meal may take longer than normal. We told them not to worry, we are not in a hurry just here for a good breakfast. Our food was perfect and really not longer wait at all. People, please remember to be kind. Places of all types are short staffed and things are not "normal". Continue to support your local businesses! read more

Food was ok, average. Service was excellent. Ambiance is casual family situation. I would go if I had no other option but not my top choice bc food was ok. I ordered burrito and ultimate scramble read more

Went there on my sister's recommendation. Got the Cubano sandwich and potato dippers. Really good. Potatoes not what I expected, but good nonetheless. They're like Frito dippers. read more

Nice atmosphere. People were friendly but Service was slow. I ordered the eggs Benedict and he ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs. I was excited because I love eggs Benedict. Unfortunately, my food was lukewarm and the hollandaise sauce had way too much lemon in it. All I could taste was lemon. His gravy over his chicken fried steak tasted like flour and salt. We won't be coming back. read more

Everything was delicious and fresh I had a ham and cheese omelet. Highly recommend this wonderful breakfast place across from the University read more

Very good food and reasonably priced. Will definitely return . Really tasty and good service

Pricey food that is inconsistent. I cant say enough about the Service and staff. They are great but the cook tends to overcook the eggs and bacon. Coffee is good read more

Ice tea was delicious Eggs were over cooked and not the way they were ordered. When you order toast is should come out toasted and it was not it had a bread consistency with some very light toast marks on one side. The waitress was just ok Not a great breakfast read more

Started coming here about a year ago, at least once a month for breakfast and I've never been disappointed! Generous portions, great staff and very reasonable prices. Way better than the other Samantha's in the area. Their blueberry pancakes and bacon are awesome! read more

Samantha's is a cozy Family Diner were you are generally greeted with a smile and sometimes by name. I worked at Samantha's in High School, and will try to give you an un-biased opinion of it. In my experience as a Samantha's patron, there are two types of service employees there. Long-term and High School kids. Both play their role in making this a home-town restaurant. While the Long-term employees (usually servers) are pros and meet you at the door with a smile and a personal greeting, the high schoolers (usually hosts) often don't try to hide that they are just trying to get through their shift and go home. It's to be expected and has never really offended me. The food at Samantha's is nothing to write home about, but rarely disappointing. You will be satisfied, and filled with warm things that taste home cooked-ish, and the service is slightly fast paced, but personal. It's a great place to grab breakfast while you read the paper, or dinner after a stressful day. read more

Great breakfast! Used Men's restroom on way out and disappointed there was NO HOT WATER to wash my hands. I wonder where the cooks wash? read more

I have gone here for years. The staff remembers you; there are a lot of regulars. The food is good diner food. If something comes out not to your liking bring it to their attention and they correct it immediately. I recommend the fried mush. read more

Ordered French toast and bacon. French toast was not cooked thru in the middle. The waitress did not bring the bacon with the french toast. The bacon was thick and chewy. Told the waitress the French toast was not cooked thru and she just said sorry. Did not offer to do anything. Very disappointed read more

i bounce between 3 and 4 stars for samantha's. i'll go three for a couple of reasons: (1) i'm a tough grader; (2) i'm a jerk; and (3) this is basically a breakfast place and to get 4 stars outta me it would have to really knock my socks off. 2 of those are true, and i always leave with my socks on, so . . . . went around christmas time for the second year in a row. the best three words to describe this place are "cheap and cheerful." the menu is extensive and the breakfast grub is done well. had the eggs benny last year and had a chance to check them out again this year. the hollandaise is good, but not as creamy and rich as i would like. this year, i had the glazed french toast. three HUGE slices of texas cinnamon toast, dipped in batter, glazed with cinnamon and sugar and served piping hot with butter and syrup. bring insulin. aside from the adult-onset diabetes, i've had nothing but good experiences at samantha's. the service (if i recall correctly, we had the same server last year as well) has always been prompt and friendly for what is typically our (loud) group of 8 - 10. for the past 2 years, our group has also included small children and a kid's menu is available. the prices are definitely right. most people can eat themselves into a food coma for around $10 per person and revive themselves with several glasses of oj and coffee. as with most things out in this neck of the woods, getting here will require a car. however, once a vehicle is secured, samantha's is conveniently located just off of i-77. read more

There are 2 Samantha's in town. This one is on Market Ave, the other is on Portage. Good breakfasts. Average service. Locally owned and operated. Nice place for a quiet conversation over breakfast or lunch. read more

Met dear friends here for a late (10 am) breakfast on Friday morning. The place was packed!!! My friends are regulars here so they knew everyone by name and we waited for a seat in the section of their favorite server. I loved that my coffee cup was kept filled, and I never felt rushed although we sat and talked for close to 2 hours, The food was fresh and tasty. I had a veggie omelet, home fries and toast. They seem to go "above and beyond" to provide great customer service, and the friendliness was incredible! read more

Archetypal diner food at reasonable prices served in generous portions. Great for breakfast -- hearty omelets. Too bad they dont serve grits.Clean. read more

Used to have the Best clam chowder, but not since they use frozen potatoes that never cook up soft. Fish sandwich used to be better. Great service though, but know what to get. read more

Samantha's has excellent breakfast. I go there every Saturday morning and the service is great!

The restaurant side is updated decor. Always clean and has a great steak. The prices are reasonable without having to drive all the way to Cleveland for a great steak. read more

When here a few weekends back. I ordered an omelet. I have to say it was amazing! First thing that comes to mind is (Which is surprising for a diner). All the ingredients seemed to be very fresh. The service was friendly. Something to be desired on the decor but that's not what this place is about. Its about good food for a good value. The menu is huge! read more

Not good. My omelette was disgusting and greasy. The staff was rather rude as well. Unless you want bad food with small portions I wouldn't recommend. read more

Great breakfast. Friendly service. I love the biscuits.

The food is quite good but someone took my pancakes so as my companions began to eat their food I was left to starve. Also "thish food wash extremely overpriced."-Andrew Addessi read more

Food was average. Had the ham and cheese omelet... omelet was greasy.. Used to come here years ago. Most likely wouldn't return.

Nothing bad on the menu. Breakfasts are spot on soups are all great owner Dave makes the best steak in the county! Loaded with banana peppers n onions even the salad is good, homemade dressing. It is a little pricey (the dinner bar side of restaurant i mean) but the food is fantastic! Lunch and dinner are very reasonable. Its one of those places that you could literally go there for breakfast lunch and dinner and it be your favorite place! Check it out!!! read more

You have to eat here!!! My family was visiting Canton for my Dad's WWII Navy reunion. While staying at he overpriced McKinley Grand, we gladly walked around the corner to the Downtown location on Friday and found our refuge. The Eggs Benedict were out of this world!!! The portions of food were very gracious. Absolutely no complaints. We wanted to go back on Saturday but was informed that they were closed but that their other location on Hills and Dale Rd was open. Had to drive 5 minutes to this location but was worth it as well. The owner happened to be our server. Since my Dad is disabled, she offered to save us a table on Sunday if we wanted to come back. The food was incredible, especially the HUGE pumpkin pecan hotcakes with cinnamon butter. OMG!!! Nobody left hungry or unhappy. Thank you so much for your great service and hospitality. read more
