This place has been around since 1922, so you know they are doing something right. We got a little bit of everything. Sliders with all their different meats, bean soup, chili, and a chocolate malt. They provided bbq sauce and a delicious homemade relish as well. This little gem is worth a visit. What o find unique is that they serve ham. Not many bbq places do ham. Why not?

Kennedy’s is Canton in a paper boat: fall-off-the-bone ribs, smoky enough to perfume the whole parking lot, and root-beer floats so cold the July pavement can’t compete. The green-and-white stand hasn’t changed much since my grandparents’ date nights—thankfully.
Staff still call you “hon,” the meat still falls apart with a look, and every bite tastes like small-town summer.
Sharing a few photos from our visit so you can feel the nostalgia before you even pull in. If you’re anywhere near Stark County, hit Kennedy’s, roll the windows down, and let the smoke bring you back home.

This place was delicious! Very good pulled pork and brisket sandwiches and our picky eater cleaned his plate of pulled pork mac n cheese. Pro tip: the coleslaw pairs very well with the sandwiches.

Probably the best hidden gem in an hour radius.
I first went here as a kid and I regret to say that it took me more than 15 years to get back. That being said, the food and flavor was exactly as I remembered it.
High quality, low cost food that is made on tradition. I got the sliders with pulled pork, pulled chicken, and brisket along with a great cup of the ham and potato soup.
Walking in here is like taking a step back in time in the best way possible. From the 4 booths, a couple tables, and 8 barstools, saying that this place is a great “little” spot is an understatement.
Before we added two slices of pie to our check, both of us would be walking out full for only $22 total. I can recommend Kennedy’s enough.

When you walk into this place looks like you went back in time to the 1950s. I had the pulled pork sandwich with little bit of coleslaw on it for $4.90 plus $0.50 for the coleslaw. It was delicious, I came in for the brisket but they are out the last time that I had their brisket it was awesome. They also carry Troyer pies, I never tasted them but they look great.

I’ve loved this Canton staple for most of my life. Tasty meats piled high, savory soups and fluffy cornbread make for a great lunch experience. The brisket was especially good on this occasion and Tatiana was a kind and swift server!

This place is old school and nothing fancy, but the food is incredible! All the meat is smoked. I had the slider trio and the pulled pork mac and cheese. My slider had turkey, brisket, and beef. They were smoked perfectly and tasted divine. Their relish is so good, I was eating it with my fork plus, I took a pint home with me. It’s a great place to try!

Well, being from Texas; the bar is set high. So, Kennedy’s BBQ was OK. My Brisket Sandwich was kind of dry. It was good, but not great; sorry. 🙂 Sister Ruth enjoyed her pulled pork sandwich. We were visiting the NFL Football Hall of Fame in Canton and this lady Becky told us about Kennedy’s.

Tasted like my grandmother’s food. I haven’t had ham and beans in years. I took a bite and immediately made me think of ol granny an her pot of beans.
