Village Pump

We happened to be down in Canfield for lacrosse game for our kids it was the last game of the season and it ran a little late. So I wandered into the stands and talked to some locals about a place to get a late dinner and all of them seem to arrive at one place which was the village pump. We were forewarned that sometimes they're not open late and it was creeping up on 9:00 but we decided to roll the dice in man am I glad we did. It is a restaurant built into a strip mall which that's not a detractor but there was a lot of happy people in there and look like a lot of locals and regulars. A waitress was sweet as pie and wasted no time getting us our burgers and ice teas. We ended up getting a side salad as well the portions were very generous and it's pretty easy to screw up a burger this place just had it nailed it was a great solid Burger.. my burger was the house burger and this thing was a freaking monster. Had a gigantic toothpick break down the middle of it as well which of course came in handy after the meal LOL. Because I'm not a caveman and my wife was watching me I did cut the burger in half and it was cooked perfectly medium. It's crazy I didn't even look at a menu but I also found out later they have beef stroganoff and lo mein. Kind of bummed I probably will not be down in Canfield anytime soon but if I am I'm definitely going to stop in this place it's pretty awesome.

This was a nice find on our road trip through OH. The looks on the outside is deceiving but inside it's a little gem. The menu is surprisingly varied. The service was excellent and the waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten free options. No cocktail menu but they have a pretty decent selection of bourbon at the bar. The brussel sprouts are tasty! Hubs had the turkey panini and I had the beet and candied walnut salad. I really liked my salad! Hubs said panini was okay but the fries were really good and crispy.

I've no idea when I'll ever be back in this part of OH but if I am, I'll be at the Village Pump. The burgers were very good, the beer was good. But the vibe was fantastic. A true local pub. It doesn't look like the pubs I knew years ago in England, but it felt like them. The locals were there and the conversation flowed. The servers were great and we actually went back a second night just to hang out. Definitely recommended, with the exception of the cocktails. Stick with the beer and the burgers.

I lived in LA for the past 5 years and just moved back to Youngstown. This place could compete in Los Angeles, no problem. Smart menu, well-designed interior, and better quality food than what is found in most of Mahoning Valley. The owner must be a genius! Absolute gem!!

Great small menu, never had a bad meal. Ambience is mixed crowd with a nice local community feel to it. Staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The choice of craft beers is always good and most are local. By far make one of the best old fashion.

Absolutely amazing burger. The service is outstanding and I couldn't have asked for more! And the environment is wonderful and very welcoming. Thank you for the cup

The food was absolutely amazing. I had the spicy dan dan noodles and it was one of the best things I have ever eaten. I will definitely be back here again soon.

Love this restaurant, the food and service is always top notch. But the other night we were celebrating a birthday and the music was so LOUD we couldn't even hear each other. We asked to have it turned down with no resolution. It was bad music at that, so loud couldn't even hear the words. Don't know why they think people want to enjoy dinner with this in the back ground, no one wants to hear Loud noise while having a get together. Some softer more relaxing music would fit the atmosphere of this place better, just saying. It will be awhile before we return. Give you a minute to think about this.

I was having a great time. All of a sudden I was being rushed out, and they paid my tab. I know that sounds great. What bar pays someones tab to get them to leave. I am not sue who the guy was, but they were trying to fleece him. Somehow, they thought I was gonna mess up their plans. From the horrible acting blonde to the Hawaii wearing idiot. All I have to say is....I am sorry to who ever you are. I tried, but being thrown out for no reason is still being thrown out.Also, all of their reviews are fake! A customer told me.

Staples in my Youngstown chicken thanked me for not making a big deal out of it won't be back
