“ If you're looking for a dive bar with great food(burgers for me), this is the spot. Drove down from Perry, OH and completely worth it. Can't wait to get back. ”
“ So I went to George’s Lounge tonight as I have many times before to eat and hear local music. But tonight was a little different cause I brought my whole family for the experience. We have two little ones who got full meals just like we did and we all got there wonderful milkshakes for dessert. However, my burger was basically raw. I very much enjoy their food so I planned on just letting the waitress know next time she came back around. So one by one, our drinks emptied and no waitress. When she did come to our table I prefaced my complaint about the very raw burger by explaining I LOVE their food. If you’ve been to George’s Lounge you understand paying for 4 meals and some shakes is well over 100 so I expected there to be better customer service when dealing with my food. The waitress said something along the lines of “yeah well that’s just how they come. Someone else complained about it earlier” so I explained when ordering the burger the choice was medium and well and we even chatted about medium meaning a pink center. I paid full price for my meal that I couldn’t eat and probably won’t be back due to the lack of attentiveness and handling the situation so poorly. I’m not the type to make a scene and I’m not gonna demand free food. Just a bummer cause I thought highly of the restaurant and bar. ”
“ Love this place. Classic old school 1950’s semi-dive bar. Food was fantastic. Had the John Wayne burger and fries which were excellent. My traveling companion remarked on the “firmness” of the fries, which enhances the flavorific experience. The biggest thing I noticed about this place, no tv’s... so go there. Put your phone away, and just enjoy the company of a lovely burger, cold brew, and a view of that sweet Formica bar top! Highly recommend. ”
“ Great food! The fries were so good I didn't even use ketchup. Also they got veggie burgers for my fellow vegetarians ”
“ Wednesday Burger Night is the place to be. Rolling Rock, Shot of Jack and a Burger of the month hit the spot. George's is 2nd to none in having a good dive to get food and enjoy the atmosphere. Burger of the Month is also a favorite tradition of mine. Best burgers in Canton!!! ”
