  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.

  John's Bar is a Canton classic. I have fond memories of coming here with my family over the years, but our most recent visit left a great deal to be desired.
  
  I was with a party of eleven and we had a reservation. The table was ready when we arrived, but things went downhill from there. It appeared our server was stretched too thin as she rushed between tables. She was forgetful about things we ordered and while I'm hesitant to place blame, I would hope that a server in her position could express to a manager that they need help to cover their assigned section rather than letting the customers' experience falter.
  
  It took an unusually long amount of time to get our food. When we did get it, my brother's steak was very obviously over cooked. He pointed it out, and it was taken back to the kitchen. When it was brought back out the second time, it was very obviously undercooked. He kept it because everyone else was done eating, but was disappointed in the service.
  
  I ordered a pork chop, which was also overcooked. I didn't send it back because I was hungry after a long day of travel. My nephew's steak was overdone as well. He requested steak sauce, which the server acknowledged but never brought. After waiting too long for it, my brother got up from the table and found another staff member to get the steak sauce.
  
  Overall, this was disappointing. We were there to celebrate as a family, but the service issues and inattentiveness made it difficult to feel celebratory. They took 1/2 off my brother's steak on the final bill, which seemed like a meager gesture after the myriad of food and service issues.
  
  We may be back, but certainly not with a group of this size again since they clearly can't manage it.

  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!

  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.
