So happy we decided to head to Canlon's for our Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was perfect ! Food, Service, such a wonderful atmosphere and experience. P.S. Coldest beer I've ever had at a restaurant which to some (like me) is very important :o)
This place is amazing. The food is excellent. Definitely going back. You have got to try Canlon’s
A hidden gem. The food was amazing . Prices were a bit high but with it as a treat. Honestly the place is clean and unassuming the staff were on point and helpful. I was surprised and will definitely be going back. Highly recommended!
The food here is INCREDIBLE. Best French Dip I’ve ever had in my life and it’s loaded with so much meat and flavor. The portion sizes are huge and the menu is incredible, I’m blown away by this place’s consistently tasty food. Update 5 years later: We threw my dad’s surprise 60th birthday here and couldn’t have had a better experience. The staff was so lovely and flexible, the food was incredible, and Eddie was awesome. Truly an amazing experience!
Good food, good prices, solid staff. Try the Nancy & Jim Salad (shrimp & salmon over a gorgeous salad). We always leave smilin'. :-)
Always a great meal at Canlons. Took out Thanksgiving dinner. More than enough for the 2 of us. Turkey with all the trimmings.
Canlon's in Oakwood delivers an unforgettable dining experience. The "Crazy Eddie" sandwich is a masterpiece of flavors, and the Beef Wellington is perfectly executed, a true testament to Chef Eddie's "Chopped Champion" skills.
