Canal Towpath Bar & Grill

Been her several times to meet my SE friends… love the fish fry, awesome sandwiches & $.50 wings on game day! Nice selection of some unique & tasty sauces too… hats off to the chef! Affordable, great game day deals & love the Browns Backers group! Great service too! Always have to bring fish fry dinner home to hubby in Wickliffe or else! :-)

love the meatballs, wings, mozz sticks, pita pizza, gyros, salad — we go there once or twice a week — very nice people, clean and good service most of the time — would be nice to see some different foods once in a while — specials are the same as the regular menu

I’m being very generous giving 3 stars. I had the quesadilla which is pretty basic anywhere you go. It had some sauce on it I wasn’t too crazy about and I think it would be better without. It was my first time eating there so I didn’t know. But I’m giving this place the benefit of the doubt because my friends regularly eat here. I’m told their meatballs are delicious! I’ll give it another shot.

Great food choices and good draft beer as well as a nice homely atmosphere. This place is a gem compared to many other Bar and Grills in the area. The food is by far above the rest. Get the meatball appetizer. It’s a great MEAL for the value.

Great place and great staff. Truly. Amazing food and atmosphere. Amazing hours (6am to 2am) and the food is all homemade. The owner is literally the chef. Highly recommend.

I really like this place for lunch. Food is always great and the service is attentive. You can really tell the difference between the servers at a place like this and the apathetic kids that staff the chains like Quaker Steak and Lube, TGIF and the like. My favorite is the Gyro salad and the fish fry on Fridays. If I had a small grumble, the $ 10 price for Gyro Salad is a bit on the steep side for what is essentially bar food-​but the portions are generous.

Have been to CT many times with coworkers for lunch. Food is ALWAYS very good, atmosphere is nice and the staff is very friendly. Try their Greek Burger, it’s excellent!

I’ve been here twice for happy hour with my coworkers and… eh. The first time we (6 or 7 of us) only ordered drinks and no food, and service was fine. We were all dressed nice since we had come right after work (we used to go to murphys before it closed) and we got quite a few stares. especially from all the old men that were there.
The second time we went, we had a bigger group of work people (about 12) and put together two or three tables to make a big long one. As we were trailing in, one of the servers asked how many were coming. I told her, and she acted like it was the most ridiculous thing that we did not call ahead and let them know. I really don’t know what the problem was since the place wasn’t packed and we are by no means a high maintenance group. Plus, when we tried to call other places ahead of time (like the Oak Barrel), they tell us they won’t reserve anything for a big group. Shortly after we got there, this waitress ended up leaving. When we left, we told the other waitress sorry and next time we will call ahead, and she said we didn’t have to. So, I’m not really sure what the deal is there…
The people I was with seemed to really like their food. I got the pizza pitas which were decent. I also got some buffalo boneless wings, and ewe. So gross. The chicken itself was fine, but I have no idea what sauce was on them. It was almost like ketchup. I was really disappointed in that. At first the service was ok, but by the end of the night, our waitress decided to sit down and play on the game machine and we had to get up and ask her for whatever we needed, including the check. This place is ok, a big time townie bar, but definitely somewhere that’s my first choice. More of a place to grab a quick drink or two.

Canal Towpath has become one of my favorite places. The meatballs are great! The bartenders are greater!

The food is good and affordable… Unfortunately the bartender was extremely intoxicated last time we were there… so much that she just helped herself to our food. she was disgustingly drunk. not happy at all. really unfortunate situation. many times that we have gone there the bartenders were drunk but this last time was over the top.terrible.terrible.terrible.owners certainly don’t seem to mind… I have spoken to quite a few people about how trashed the bartender was. quite a few people said that is why they quit going there… would not suggest the place to anyone… horrific service

Didn’t even try the food because the owner was so incredibly rude we got up and left. No wonder it was nearly empty on a Sunday. Stay away.

We had a group dinner of rigatoni, meatballs and salad and I would have thought I was in Little Italy… or my grandmother’s kitchen! The meat sauce was delicious… on the order of a bolognese… rich and flavorful. It held to the rigatoni like a charm. The meatballs were the real star! Not only were they baseball sized but they tasted like mama made them! The salad deserves mention too… no skimping there either… lots of shredded cheese on top, two types of lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, onions, pepperoni… simply the works. What an enjoyable meal! And if party style was this good, I bet an individual entrée can’t be beat! I recommend stopping in!

I really enjoy this place, the staff and atmosphere is really nice, along with the food.
You walk in and seat yourself, the food is classic bar food, and is great if your in the mood for it. So if your going for Steak, ect. you probably wont go here, but a burger and fries, or home made chips? this is your spot.
The staff is incredibly nice, I have gone a few times and only once they gave me the wrong thing, the waitress immediately got me what I wanted and didn’t charge me for the food.
The bar/​grills atmosphere is incredibly nice it has a old diner feel and you can tell by the people who attend are all locals like I am.
All in all I can see myself going here for lunch ever now and then.
