During my travels through Ohio, I looked for local fine dining spots. Benders was rated #1 in Canton. It was probably the most disappointing meal of my entire trip. The turtle soup wasn’t bad. I liked it. The fried oysters are disgusting. They’re nothing but dough…. You can’t taste anything but dough and it’s not good. The pasta special was ok, I thought the noodles and sauce were good but the shrimp on top tasted like fresh out the freezer salad shrimp. You can see how small they are in the pictures. Very underwhelming meal at this price point.

Color me unimpressed. Even for a cheap (by the standards of this very overpriced restaurant) sirloin, my little steak was both tiny as could be and tough as shoe leather.
My Manhattan was fine, but nothing to write home about. The "Bender fries" was sopping in acrid grease and oversalted. Would have been a good side if done right. About the only positive I have is that I believe they make their own salad dressings, and they are very good, despite being served over a small plate of rather sad greens that were surely dumped out of a bag.
I ate at the bar as I was there by myself. Bartender was plenty friendly at least.

We tried Bender’s Tavern for our 30th wedding anniversary dinner. The perch, strip steak and crème brûlée were fantastic. We also got calamari and my husband and i agreed it was one of the best we’ve had. Great ambience. Excellent service by Alicia!

Absolutely one of our favorite places in NE Ohio.
Love the old school bar entrance. Cozy dining. Amazing & friendly staff. And awesome food!
Last night we had a newer server named Dane. He was so passionate about the food and doing a good job.
The halibut ala Foley was amazing. Our son got the filet and said it was perfectly done.
The Maple Old Fashioned was excellent as were a couple glasses of the featured wines.
Great job Benders!!!

Stopped in around 5 on a Monday and sat at the bar. Service was great, drinks were tasty, and the food was incredible! Got a crab cake, Halibut and benders fries; all were fantastic
