Food, value and service were great. The noise level was too much. We could not hold a conversation from across the table. Also, tables are very close to one another. It was cold so we wore our coats throughout the meal.

Delicious food and cocktails in a lively, intimate setting. We have been twice, both times I had their cheeseburger and a lemon drop martini. Both are perfection! My husband had the red fish and a martini as well, and he was equally impressed. Located in downtown Canton, we are so happy they are here.

The food is excellent at Native Son. Love the revolving menu as long as they keep that pork chop! Service is very friendly and professional. Don’t be in a hurry when you go. The food is all fresh so if it takes a bit just enjoy the community vibes and take in the cozy atmosphere. Everything on the menu and from the bar are spot on. We highly recommend!!

We absolutely love Native Son Restaurant in Canton! The food, service, atmosphere, quality, and drinks are all amazing. While they have only been open a few weeks as of December 2024, you would think they have been opened for years already with how smooth everything is.

It is great to have a quality restaurant on the square that has upscale comfort food. A full service bar with unique cocktails made by a mixologist is a real plus. My Old Fashioned was perfect. The portions are ample. It would have been nice to have bread on the table.
