Dynamic Canton food scene
Taggart’s Ice Cream Parlor and Restaurant, established in 1926, is a neighborhood staple. When in town for induction ceremonies each summer, Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees are known to stop by for their famous “Bittner” ice cream sundaes. Though ice cream is their specialty, the parlor serves more than just frozen treats — they have a menu full of classic American food and deep-fried favorites. Nearby, Sparta Steak House & Lounge offers a more upscale dining experience featuring surf-and-turf and homemade desserts. Located on 12th Street Northwest, Sparta is housed in a nondescript building hidden amongst residential housing. Nearby neighborhoods offer a plethora of food options as well. “For 17 years, I’ve been going to a new restaurant every month with my ‘Dinner Club.’ We have rarely ever been to the same restaurant twice,” says Toth. The lively food scene in Canton is popular among locals and visitors alike. For groceries, there’s a Giant Eagle Supermarket 3 miles west of McKinley and a Family Dollar nearby for discounted necessities.
