Restaurants in Massillon

“Went for our first time during lunch. We can’t wait to go back and have dinner. My husband and I both had the cheeseburger special- I had fries and he had onion rings. The food was EXCELLENT. The onion rings are made fresh and were so crispy. The burgers were perfectly made and juicy. Fresh cut fries were very good. What a hidden gem Massillon has! Highly recommend and we will go back!”

“Late lunch on Saturday. The place was beautiful. Staff very helpful and attentive. The food? Unbelievable, the smothered smoked wings were incredible. my wife's ribs, off the bone tender and well, my burger was top notch. Could not leave without trying the cheesecake. Ended up taking it home, but probably one of the best I have every had. We will be back. Thanks for the great experience.”

“10/10! I love it here!!!”

“I made a truck load delivery here. I can't say enough about how great the experience was. The folks that unloaded me were very friendly and fast by reefer standards, especially considering they unload in the parking lot by hand. They offered to even buy me dinner, tho I declined due to my diet. This is the kind of customer that truckers want to go to. If your KFC is run by one of these franchise owners then you should make sure to support their businesses their good people. Thanks you Kendall house if I have the opportunity to run this load again I won't hesitate.”

“My boyfriend and I love coming here the owners and the son are very nice they come to the rooms to check if you need anything they ask you at the front desk they check on you and that’s great . We love to book here. It’s quiet here and the price is worth it . Thank you very much for the amazing work that you owners do. We will keep on booking here :)”

Parking: Maybe 7 spots that are on even ground. There is more off to the side but it is like slanted.

Kid-friendliness: They have a very nice menu for the younger ones.”

“The best donuts. Pro Tip - go during the week because they tend to sell out on Saturday really early and you'll get a better flavor selection. You're welcome.”

“Excellence in both flavor and ambiance, and the baristas, especially our favorite Hannah, always treat you first class!”

“I love Fizzlestix! Their daily specials and their goblets are a must. This is for sure one of my favorite spots, they have so many amazing burger options and the fizzle fries haven’t let me down yet. Support small businesses and give them a try!”

“Went through the drive thru and just so happened to have my cat with me. They have the friendliest staff! I didn’t realize they weren’t open yet so we got the pumpkin blondie and it’s amazing! They offered a pup cup for our kitty and he was just as happy as we were. Can’t wait to try more.”

“Great pizza [Original] Great pizza”

“Best burgers & fries in town! And the soups are delicious too!”

Wheelchair accessibility: One small curb step to get up to the sidewalk front entrance”

“get a slice or a whole pie. New York style pizza is fantastic”

“The bridal party wanted chicken for the rehearsal dinner, so where else would we choose but the best place in town, The Howlin Bird! The event was in the Private Downstairs Cellar party room with the private bar. It was the perfect venue for our over 30 guests in attendance. The ambiance and superb services provided by the staff far exceeded our expectations. The staff was more than efficient, they were also really fun and the guests enjoyed them. The decor was beautiful with formal table settings. The guests were pleased and impressed by the buffet dinner and the beautiful cocktails. All of the guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thank you Howlin Bird team!”

“amazing wings, and cold beer.”

“This place is amazing , we ate here for the first time and was blown away. We are coming back this week with a special couple we are treating.”

“Marinara to die for! I would buy gallons of it if they let me! Great food, big portions, I'm never disappointed here.”

“The new owner is doing a fabulous job. My husband and I loved our food. His sauce is excellent. The portions are huge. Can't wait to go back even though it is an hour drive for us.”

“Love their breakfast and the service is great!!”

“First time eating here in 15+ years and just as delicious as I remember it being as a kid. I will be back as a regular again like my parents were. Can’t wait to have it again. Pizza and wings (honey bbq) were very good. There wing sauce was delicious also.”

“Been around forever and is the best in the state as far as I’m concerned. I normally can’t eat a whole pizza by myself but their pizzas to good to stop”

“Best Chinese food in massillion ohio. Needs to open a little earlier i think. And definitely needs to be open on tuesday. Food for thought maybe change the days and hours please and thank you...”

“Stopped in here today and was not disappointed. I had banana cream pie milkshake and it was delicious...the decision was not easy because there is a ginormous selection. I'm looking forward to trying all the different flavors. Freshly made. Love the ambiance in here. Definitely going back and highly recommend.”

“We had wonderful service and the wings are on point!!!!”

“Awesome food no matter what you order!”

“Pizza was excellent Plenty of sauce pepperoni and cheese. Priced reasonable”

“Meldrums it's a great place to go to get a great meal everything's fresh and taste awesome, try out their chicken noodle soup in this cold weather, I've been going there for over 20 years never had a bad meal , and don't forget about Thursdays meatloaf home fries and green beans😋 great service and great atmosphere!!”

“I love this lil restaurant. As someone who has frequently travelled to Mexico, I thought it bridged the gap perfectly between appealing to U.S. Midwestern tastes and Mexican authenticity. Very delish! I make it a point to always go here when I'm in Massillon.”

“Great food and atmosphere. Friendly staff. Highly recommend this place, we’ll be back. 😊”

“Great atmosphere and super friendly environment. I admit I was a little nervous the first time pulling up in my electric standup scooter next to all the motorcycles. However, everyone was super friendly.
The prices are great and food is wonderful. The sunday breakfast is worth the trip itself(get the mess, youll thank me later)”

“Great friendly place for lunch or dinner”

“My friend and I ate here tonight, it was delicious and we won one of the song guesses for an order of Churros. Great service very chill atmosphere and food was great!! Thank you.”

“I've been here about a half a dozen times and every visit has been a pleasant one. This past Friday we ate dinner here and it was one of the best restaurant meals I've had in a while. The meatloaf was one of the best things I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, seasoned, and covered with a mushroom onion gravy. It was paired with Redskin mashed potatoes that were really good. the portion was a little small on the potatoes but that's okay. Not to mention if you've never had cheesecakes by battle, which Kozmos offers, I highly suggest you try a slice. Also the staff was amazing as usual. Can't wait to come back and get the meatloaf again. Thanks for a great evening.”

“best pizza and chicken around massillon!”

“Thank you Machelle for another beautiful color and cut!! I love it!!”

“The prices are great, but what really impressed me was the taste of the food. I have never had French toast that was so perfectly cooked. I also got one biscuit and gravy and it was so big, it could have been a meal in itself. The biscuit was flaky and fresh. My only complaint, and it is surprising coming from a diner, is that the coffee was not good. It was bitter. It tasted like decaf, though I am sure it wasn't. It was just not good. Everything else made up for it though.”

“We just returned home from Bugsy's Italian Cuisine in Massillon. What a wonderful dining experience we had! Bugsy's menu selection was so large, it made it difficult to choose. We opted for the calamari, pasta puttanesca (just like my Italian mom would have made), and salad with the house white French dressing (it was delicious). Our server, Meagan, was exceptional. She knew the menu inside and out, was attentive to our needs, and could not have done anything more to make sure we had an awesome experience. Great job Bugsy's, and a special thanks to Meagan.”

“I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but Handel’s Ice Cream actually saved my life—and it’s all thanks to one guy: Kyle Ross. This isn’t just a review of ice cream; it’s a review of an experience, a series of miracles, and the heroic generosity of the guy scooping it.

It was one of the lowest points of my life when I walked into Handel’s that day. I was craving comfort in the form of a scoop of mint chip, but financially, I was barely hanging on. Honestly, I almost didn’t walk in at all—I didn’t think I could afford it. But I’d been beaten down enough lately, so I figured I deserved a little taste of happiness, even if I couldn’t justify the few dollars for a scoop.

When I got to the counter, I saw him: Kyle Ross. Tall, broad shoulders, and a smile that could melt ice cream from across the room. I told him my order, but as I reached into my pocket to count my change, I realized I was embarrassingly short. Kyle, without even a second’s hesitation, waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about it. This one’s on me.”

That would’ve been enough, right? Just that small act of kindness. But Kyle saw something in my face—a weariness I probably couldn’t hide—and he asked, “You doing alright?” Before I knew it, I found myself telling him about my struggles, my recent job loss, and how I was barely scraping by. I didn’t expect any sympathy; I just needed to vent. But Kyle listened. And when I finished, he handed me my ice cream and, without missing a beat, said, “You need anything else? Any way I can help?”

That was the moment I realized Kyle was more than just an ice cream scooper. He was one of those rare, genuinely good-hearted people you only read about. When he found out I didn’t have a way to get to a job interview later that week, he didn’t hesitate. “You can borrow my car,” he said with a grin, as if lending out his car to a near-stranger was the most normal thing in the world. I honestly thought he was joking, but he just handed me his keys—a spotless, sleek car that was a step up from any ride I’d ever owned.

And it didn’t end there. Over the next couple of weeks, whenever I came by Handel’s, Kyle was there, checking up on me, making sure I was okay, and occasionally slipping me a little money to help me get by. It was never anything flashy—just small gestures that made all the difference, from covering my ice cream to spotting me some gas money. He even gave me a heads-up on a job opening he’d heard about through a friend, and that connection eventually led to my new job.

Looking back, it feels surreal. How many times have you met someone working a counter who actually cares, who actually takes the time to see beyond the surface? Kyle Ross didn’t just serve ice cream; he served hope. If anyone deserves praise, it’s him. I’m still not sure if it was fate that led me to Handel’s that day, but I’ll tell you this: if you ever get the chance to go, and you see Kyle behind the counter, count yourself lucky. You’re about to meet one of the best people you’ll ever encounter—and maybe get the best scoop of your life, too, how ever good was a 4, it was a little cold.”

“The food is absolutely amazing. I had the BBQ ribs (which were so tender, large with lots of meat, smoked just right & covered in delicious BBQ sauce) and the Soul Roll(don't pass this up...so good!)”

“We have absolutely loved everything we’ve gotten from here! It is always so good, and the cakes are moist! Most recently the Moana Barbie cake we got for our daughter’s 3rd birthday. The creativity and talent behind this cake was a 10/10, and you cannot beat the amazing prices!! Thank you to The Boarding House for everything!!”

“The food is great! I especially love their chicken sticks. My folks are partial to the won ton ( wonton? ) soup. They've been coming here for years, and it rarely disappoints.
I put 5 for the atmosphere because I like waiting for food here. They usually have a couple of chairs and some newspapers to read. That and you can see the neighborhoods from the windows, which is a plus.”

“Best neighborhood bar, owners are so dedicated to the regulars. Always fun things planned, and Jeannette makes sure that those who don't have family, she prepares food and is open so they have a place to go?”

“The food and staff are great!!!”

“While in town for a wedding, this place was recommended to continue the celebration. Welcomed by the friendly bartenders, treated to a great atmosphere and delicious beverages, our time there was a fun experience. This is definitely a place worth revisiting! Thank you for a great weekend”

“Super cheap drinks, free pool on Tuesday, and incredible people! Come here enough and you'll find that the regulars here will soon feel like family, no doubt about that. Stop in and say hey!”

“The pizza at this location is nothing short of outstanding! We had been looking for a good pizza place since moving here. We have found good but Gioninos is the Best!! Definitely our "go to" place for Football weekend days!!”

“It’s a great bar. Everyone is very friendly I’ve never heard an unkind word. They have parties for different occasions and carry-ins. I stop in every time I’m in Massillon”

“Nice environment, friendly staff, awesome atmosphere :) Saw Mark Leach play and it was our first here, Mark was awesome🎶, the outside setting is pretty :)”

“I found Her Cheesecake online and since the closest Cheesecake Factory is an hour away from me I decided based on her reviews that I’d give her a chance…. WOW!!! I’m SOOOOO GLAD I DID!!! It’s even better than that place!! I called and made a custom order cheesecake for my special celebration a couple days in advance and she made an AMAZINGLY SPECTACULAR PERFECT CHEESECAKE for me just as I had requested!!! I am over the moon ecstatic with this cheesecake!!! A little back story… I’ve been on a strict diet for ONE FULL YEAR and this was my reward celebration for losing 123 lbs this year!! I only planned to take 1 day off my diet, but this cheesecake was so amazing I have added another day to enjoy it before I freeze the rest in individual serving containers. I requested a dark chocolate with chocolate crust and raspberry compote on top, OMG it is the type of flavor that takes you to another dimension as you’re taste buds are seduced into one of the best feelings a person can have with their clothes on!!! Do yourself a favor and ORDER THE DANG CHEESECAKE FROM HERCHEESECAKES NOW!!! You’ll thank me later!!!”

“ordered our first pizza. got wings and 2 pizzas, $32. felt the wings were small and didn't get many. flavor was good for spicy one. pizza was more like a medium sized but tasted good not greasy. ingredient amount was awesome. Will get again. loved how you express your love for God on box.”

“Yesterday was our first time trying Lobys Irish Pub & Grill. We ordered take out. I haven't had a great Reuben in many years and had been craving one for weeks, this Reuben was outstanding. I tried a bite of hubby's corned beef and cabbage and it tasted better than when I make it. The sauerkraut balls are huge. Very pleased with our experience and will be returning customers.”

“great atmosphere and ready for the biker stops this summer! ❤️”

“Heard good things about this place from family and finally got a chance to check it out. The food was simply amazing. Their fries are very similar to fair fries, and their burgers are big and flavorful. Just wished they gave you options for more fries! We didn't get to eat outside this time, but the inside is pretty spacious for the building they are in with TV viewings at every angle. Servers were very polite.”

“Service & Atmosphere no rating as a friend of mine picked up the salads. I had a bully, supposed to be a steak salad. Very little steak.Mixed weeds and general unrecognizable leafy things ? I kid ya not, looked like dandelion leaves. Some people eat those, I know.At any rate, I got a large salad, and it was $16...Will I return? Would I pay this price again ?( No, I will not. Nothing special here, folks, make your own salad )”

“Your vanilla ice cream is so good. 🍦😋”
