    Native Son has no peer in Canton, Texas. It rivals the top restaurants in the Metroplex but preserves the hometown feel we who live in East Texas love.

    Food, value and service were great. The noise level was too much. We could not hold a conversation from across the table. Also, tables are very close to one another. It was cold so we wore our coats throughout the meal.

    Went there for the music and it was a great experience. We got the burger and fries and it was great-best fries I think I’ve ever had.

    Delicious food and cocktails in a lively, intimate setting. We have been twice, both times I had their cheeseburger and a lemon drop martini. Both are perfection! My husband had the red fish and a martini as well, and he was equally impressed. Located in downtown Canton, we are so happy they are here.

    The food is excellent at Native Son. Love the revolving menu as long as they keep that pork chop! Service is very friendly and professional. Don’t be in a hurry when you go. The food is all fresh so if it takes a bit just enjoy the community vibes and take in the cozy atmosphere. Everything on the menu and from the bar are spot on. We highly recommend!!
