   We celebrated my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday last night, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. From the outstanding service to the hand crafted cocktails not to mention the succulent seafood - Bender’s is the best place in town.

   I had requested a certain meal that wasn’t on the menu for lunch today and Jon made it happen. Thats just how wonderful the restaurant is. Definitely one of the finest.

   The lobster bisque was not a hit with the 3 people who had it. They were disappointed. The lightly fried haddock was excellent. As were the salads and parm fries. (I'm not a fan of the Bender fries because when I had them before, they were too greasy.) I wish the cocktails were a little less expensive for lunch. Maybe less alcohol would help lessen the cost? We DO enjoy coming there for our friendship celebration.

    Benders is consistently a classic and delicious dining experience. Their selection of wine and fresh catch is second to none in the region; this is our go-to for everything from holidays, occasions, dates, and casual lunch dining. Locally owned and operated for generations; we always appreciate our time with Jon, Jerry, and the Benders fam.

    Bender's is a nice restaurant, unfortunately it's extravagant prices limit it's customers to either special occasions, or those having a good income. The food is very good, however very overpriced, even with the current inflation of our economy today. Their drink menu is very nice, but the quality wasn't as good as expected. The draft beers were flat, and the cocktails were not to order. This was either because of lack of ingredients, or lack of attention from the waiter during the order. Their "snowglobe" drink for example was lacking one of the main taste ingredients, yet the customer would not be advised unless they recognized it. The tables were well spaced and the ambience was nice, but overall I can't give that high of a rating compared to other chain restaurants.

    Benders an elegant old tavern that never disappoints. It was a Friday night during the holiday break. It was very busy - the wait staff was really hustling. Julie was our waitress and was really wonderful. The food was incredible. Three of us had the Halibut ala Foley and the others had the strip steak with the Hoover sauce and said it was delish. Bender fried potatoes the tomato salad were perfect and the mini peanut butter sundae was just great. (Even if you don't love peanut butter, you will love this) Benders an elegant old tavern that never disappoints.

    Not worth the hefty price. Good: service was impeccable, ambiance is good, and the steak was perfect. Bad: Water glass was dirty, salad was meh, sides were inedible. I got the Boston lettuce salad. The six pieces of lettuce wasn't worth the price and it looked like it was plated by a 5 year old. The sides of rice and mushrooms were so salty to the point of being inedible. It was clear that the rice had been sitting under a heat lamp too long because there was a dry, crunchy layer on top. The broccoli was too mushy and the sauce on it was watery. The only saving grace is that the steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. When I spend nearly $100 a person for dinner in Canton, Ohio, it should be amazing. This food would be acceptable at a chain restaurant for $25 a person. And a personal pet peeve of mine that might not bother others. Every side and steak topping is served on its own plate which makes the table uncomfortably crowded. I just want to eat, not play musical dinner plates.

    I have been going to Bender's for more then 50 years. It is by far the best restaurant in Stark County. The other day I got an outstanding prime rib. There are many excellent places in Canton but Bender's is my favorite.

    Bender"s is usually great, but not this time. Very noisy. Getting food on the table took way too long. Waiter was a nice young man but he very new. The worst part involved the wine, which is usually Bender's greatest strength. I ordered a 2018 sparkling wine from the menu, but the waiter brought a 2019. At the end of the meal, I ordered the 2017 vintage port. It took 15 minutes to tell me they were out of that vintage. I'll still go back. I just love the place, but not this night.

    We have eaten here for over 20 years. The steak was very tough and nothing like it has been. The waiter said they recently “ downgraded“ their steak. He said he would get the manager. We waited for almost 30 minutes and had to ask him again. The manager came over with an attitude and acted annoyed that he even had to speak with us. The waiter was as sweet as could be and everything else was good. The manager did not even offer to another steak. Very disappointed in quality and the manager.

    Great experience and extremely good meal. When a very large and loud group arrived after we were seated, we asked and Julie moved us to another table without a problem. We both had fish - swordfish and halibut - and they were both tremendous. Service was excellent and we couldn’t have had a better anniversary dinner.

    Been here many times and it is always great. They have a good variety in their menu and everything is cooked perfectly. My husband had the pork chop with benders fries and brussel sprouts and loved it. I had the George’s bank scallops and benders fries as well and they were delicious. We also had the smoked salmon appetizer which is very tasty.
