Tim’s Tavern

This place was pretty much subpar at best and I’m only giving two stars because they do have great hush puppies to bad that is the only thing that was good that I had. To start off ordered the shrimp and crabmeat dip for a appetizer when it came out it was ice cold they forgot to microwave it and scooped what we had on our places and said they would bring a new one out. They just went back and zapped it and brought out the same one which made me a little a rig because they just straight up lied.
For lunch ordered the crab cake Blt which was not good at all. The bun was way to big for this sandwich and the the sandwich basically had no taste at all pretty much a bland probably pre packaged crab cake served on a bun with a slice of bacon. I also ordered a side of Mac and Cheese it looked and tasted like something from a banquet frozen dinner so save your money. The only thing that I liked on the menu was the hush puppies I gotta give them credit on that they where awesome.
Overall I was happy with my visit here mainly because the food that I had was mediocre and the staff messed up and didn’t want to take responsibility or even offer to make things right. Place is also pretty outdated.

This is a cool little restaurant I try to visit when in Canton. Their portions are right and and it has a laid back vibe to it.
It’s not hip or trendy, which is just how I like it.

I tried to eat here walkout
in 2013 I tried to eat there. the manager was so rude I left.
I will never be back

For a place that claims is «famous for fish», the fish I had was very subpar.
My girlfriend and I arrived and found the décor to be odd to say the least. One wall had a giant childish murals of bumper cars and clowns while every other wall looks like a dated sports bar. The service was ok, I found it weird that I had to seat myself but other than that I had no complaints. Our food arrived pretty quickly which was great, but the fish the we both ordered was very bland and tasteless. It almost seemed like it had no seasoning on it whatsoever, also my fried fish seemed very dry, almost like it had been under a heat lamp. Overall, I don’t think I would go back and if I did I would probably get something that wasn’t fried from the menu.

Although, HIGHLY RATED for their BEER BATTER SEAFOOD (and I agree), Steak, Yes, Steak is also at the TOP of my list of recommended Food Fair in Canton, Ohio. Mom and I were on such a tight schedule, yesterday (Sunday) that we decided to stop at a familiar place for the first time on Sunday. Man we were overjoyed with a delectable surprise. «STEAK DINNER for 2» at a surprisingly low cost of $ 12.99. It was the very BEST 6oz steak we’ve ever had that came with 2 delectable sides. (I had the REAL mashed potatoes and grilled in garlic butter asparagus). Mom had the green beans and baked potato. With an Iced Tea and Dr. Pepper the Bill came to $ 17+. If you’re looking or that out-​of-​the-​way (as far as tradition) place to dine on Sunday, Tim’s gets a 5 STAR rating from me.

While working in the area, I treated a man to dinner who had contributed to my success. I was prepared for a fancier restaurant but he chose Tim’s Tavern. He ordered a fish sandwich and I had a burger.
Tims’s is active, busy, noisy and fun. I was sad to learn that Tim, himself, died earlier this year, the sad end of a truly well-​liked Canton citizen. The restaurant remains open in his memory and as his legacy.
Prices are so affordable. Two can dine with sides for $ 12.00

I revisited Tim’s Tavern after many years of reflection. I wondered if it still stood up as well as my memory held it. And of course it did. Cheap quality is all I can say. You’ll be missing something in life by not eating here at least once. Well done!

The food has had it’s ups and downs. But it’s always classic good beer battered fish.
Sadly the service here has been getting progressively worse over the last few years. Last time I was here with my dad we literally waited 20mins to pay after we were done eating. The waitress brought us our bill and then never came back.

Excellent fried fish and chicken… Tim’s is a canton landmark… try to avoid on Friday night… really busy the quality of the fish turns soggy

This place used to be the best fish place around but the last two times I have been there… Not impressed. Meh. I’ve experienced better.

WHAT HAPPENED, Tim’s always had the very best fish sandwiches, have eaten there off and on for years, nice big chunky whitefish, well tonight we ordered 2 fish platters, and it was the 2 nd worse meal I ever had in a resturant, MacDonalds would have been better, use to be so delicious, must have changed wholesalers, well paid my $ 20.00 and tip and now the outside cat is enjoying the fish, no returns ever for me, it was too awful,

I went to Tim’s last Friday and I was amazed. The service was fantastic and the food was good portions and yummy! It is a great place to take your family for dinner.

Venice Beach? Oh no my friend, you’re in the tropical restaurant known as Tim’s Tavern. Established in 1957, this oasis in a box will brighten anyone’s day from the moment you walk in the door. The main dining area features painted wall murals that reflect a realistic beach like environment. The glass block privacy windows helped shield my young eyes from the dismal world that is Canton while providing just the right amount of light. In fact, I had to rub my eyes twice to make sure I was still in Canton, luckily the Keno TV screen hanging in the sky above the beach brought me back to reality.
After scanning the room for a few minutes it was clear that we were the youngest people in the room (by 30 years). I was alarmed at first, but then I reminded myself that I love the friendly banter of the elderly.
Shortly after we sat down our waitress appeared with a big smile on her face and a perkiness to her chest. We were inquisitive about the lunch specials and she was very accommodating to our inquiries; it was like a match made in heaven! While waiting for our food to be served we enjoyed the witty writings of the publication «The Coffee News».
Once our food arrived I was quick to notice the Mount Vesuvius portion of mashed potatoes on my plate. Simply spectacular! My two piece battered fish featured a beautiful golden-​brown hue like that of a thoroughbred horse who just won the Belmont Stakes. As my mouth watered in anticipation and my eyes swelled up with joy, I immersed that flaky golden fish into the chilled tartar sauce and placed the fork into my mouth as a vortex of favor engulfed my taste buds sending them into a state of shock, and then bliss. Tim, you have done it once again!
My fellow colleagues had a different experience than I did, even though we were sitting at the same table together. I can not… no… I WILL NOT express their loathing rants! Tim’s Tavern brings to Canton what Estelle Getty brought to the Golden Girls, a bold and fresh feeling that is second to none.

This place is great! They have great hush puppies and fried fish. I also have tried the crab bisque and it was one of the best I’ve had. Definitely good cold weather food!

I love the greasy fried fish that this place serves up. My parents have been coming here for many years… they talk about the days when their fish was served on paper plates. In the past 30+ years it has become more and more popular with Canton folks. It reminds me of Lent as a kid when I was growing up– I looked forward to Fridays when we couldn’t eat meat, because of this place.

Went there 03÷12÷10 during lunch with my wife and 2 year old, friendly waitstaff, great atmosphere, and great food. Every employee that walked by us came and talked to my daughter, and made it a great experience for us. Anyone looking for an awesome fish sandwich should definitely try out Tim’s Tavern.

You gotta love a place where the 88 year old owner still comes by and interfaces with the customers. Tim’s is legendary for its fish fry. I hadn’t been there in years, so I decided to pop in for lunch and sit at the bar. I love the décor of this place – so old school. And you can even play video keno at the bar in case you are jonesing for a side dish of Vegas with your meal. I sat at the bar and was instantly greeted by Tim himself who asked me to smile. I must have had an intense look on my face because I was flipping through a hair style magazine, trying to figure out what the hell to do with my hair. He is such a cute elderly man! I ordered the regular fried fish sandwich and I was so disappointed. I soaked it in malt vinegar but it was so dry. So then I turned to the tartar sauce out of pure desperation. Still, not so good. I was bummed. I can only hope that other items on the menu are better… but part of me thinks that going to Tim’s and not ordering fish is like going to Dairy Queen and not ordering soft serve. Does not compute… but I will certainly give the place another try just because of Tim!
