Sparta Steak House & Lounge

A hidden gem! Our family comes often as we’ve have never ever experienced once bad tasting thing or service. Everything is always perfect. The steaks are always cooked perfectly and the food is delicious! For the amount you spend, you definitely get what you pay for. Staff is friendly and accommodating. My girlfriend and I work at a restaurant and know the feeling when people come in Right before close. But if you call ahead of time it’s awesome that they stay open and welcome you in with open arms and do not show any sort of frustration whatsoever for coming in toward closing time.

I ordered a small Greek style salad, spice rubbed rib eye, Sparta fries and sautéed hot peppers. The salad was perfectly prepared. Just the right amount of condiments and dressing vs greens. Get the anchovies! The steak was prepared exactly as I ordered it. Ordered medium rare and it came out medium rare. The spice rub enhanced the steak experience. Crazy good. The Sparta fries were prepared well. Just a little crunch on the outside and tender in the inside. The hot peppers are hot! Great way to cut the richness of the beef and potatoes. Best dinner I have had in a long time. I would be willing to bet that the other items on the menu are great based on the care that was put into the items I ordered.
The staff helped make the experience great. They went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and wanted. The atmosphere is very friendly. The staff new the regulars and was on a first name basis with many of them. Great local establishment.

Went here last weekend for steaks and drinks. Steaks were top notch, drinks were good especially the blueberry martini and mojito.
Ordered shrimp cocktail and saganaki for apps. Shrimp cocktail was $ 7.95 for 4 medium sized shrimp and the saganaki is a little different then what you would expect and our server haf no clue on the process of lighting it or putting it out. Unfortunately, we sent it back without trying it.
The steaks were awesome. I ordered the large strip and it was cooked perfectly and it was very tasty came with a greek salad and a double baked potato for an upcharge. Around $ 30.
2 Steaks, drinks, and a shrimp cocktail $ 91
Owners were very friendly. i will definitely be back for another steak!

First time I’ve tried the place. We had a great server that was very helpful. She suggested the Blueberry Martini, and who am I to say no. It was a winner. The cauliflower appetizer was different but good. Greek salad fantastic. So I was ready for the main course. I once again listened to the server and got the Cajun Platter with rice. I call it nothing fancy but the food was worth the trip. I witnesses desert but was full next time I’m all in. Sunday’s were huge!

Food was good, stuffed grape leaves with Greek sauce tasted like fill was used in it. Small portion. Skrout balls good at cooler temp. Too hot no taste. Steak was ok, texture was a little on the rough side. Scampi were large and tender. Butter was bland. Wine served warm. Décor very out of date. Severs were ok, but didn’t get my mushrooms.

Love this place! The service and the food are outstanding! You have to try the blueberry martini with homemade blueberry vodka!!!

I love this place. Call and make a reservation for a certain time. On the way over, listen to some Sinatra and some Dean Martin.
Get there an hour early and sit at the bar and order every cocktail that you can think of from the early sixties.
But check in with the Matre ‘d before you sit at the bar.
When you get a table, order whatever you want. Make sure and get the salad with the house dressing. And I recommend a steak.
I am sure currently this place is not what it was back in the day, but to step back in time is truly a great experience. Buy some vintage clothes and go enjoy that experience.

The length of the wait is not compensated for by the quality of the food. And I like their food but it failed to make up for the half hour wait to place a Carryout order. Very disappointed this time.

Back in college, many things happened to me and around me. One of those things was living above a tv shop with quirky, loving people. Those quirky, loving people took me to Sparta one night for dinner. I as a college student, broke as I was, wouldn’t refuse.
So we head down to what would seemingly be a little «interesting» neighborhood and pull up to this understated looking place. Going inside you see the old charm of an Italian steakhouse.
There is ample seating and also an actual bar, with the wooden bar cabinets. I immediately dart my attention to the drink menu. The drink specials are hilarious and crude. Ex) Sex on the Dryer, etc.
I order a liquor drink and pasta with a steak. The steak is lovely and tastes great. The pasta, definitely up to my standards. Full to the brim, I believe that all cost me 20 bucks if I would have had to pay.
All in all, a great experience.

I went here with my boyfriend about 2 weeks ago, and I have to admit, I was not amt on going here, especially after viewing the outside. But after actually going in and eating, I had a much different perspective. They say that the best restaurants are those hole-​in-​the-​wall, local places, right?
As far as the outside of the building goes, it looks run-​down, lifeless, and it’s hard to even tell that there is a restaurant inside. But the inside is somewhat classier, outdated, but classy. It wasn’t busy, but it definitely wasn’t empty. There were about 5 – 6 tables full of people there, and our server was outstanding the entire duration of our meal. She went ahead to tell us what she recommended, and joked around with us a bit.
To start, we both ordered the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. NOT WORTH IT. It was $ 8.00 and we only received FOUR shrimp. If I go back, I am definitely not ordering that again.
For our meals, I ordered the small filet, and my bf ordered the porterhouse. My steak was delicious, and it even came with a side salad, rice pilaf, and rolls. I’m usually not one to order steak in a restaurant either, so this was a big deal to me. The rice pilaf was good, but I was not a fan of the side salad… it was only cucumbers and lettuce. No cheese, no croutons, no nothing. I was kind of disappointed by that.
I wouldn’t say that this is my favorite place to go, but it’s definitely worth giving a shot.

Bland is the word. Was extremely disappointed since this is considered a Canton institution. The porterhouse, though tender, was lifeless with no flavor at all. The Sparta fries were average at best. The salad was drowned in dressing (and I actually like a lot of dressing). Long lapses in service didn’t help. I hate to say it, but I even prefer the chains to this.

Excellent (and warm and friendly) service. Good drinks and bartending. Overall excellent dining experience and for Canton Ohio a good find.

Absolutely dreadful! My strip was tough and had no taste at all. There are some really fine restaurants in Canton but this sure isn’t one of them. Try Baker’s instead!!! I can’t remember the last time I was this disappointed in a meal. And it ain’t cheap!

Best filet and twice baked potato on the planet!

Sparta Steakhouse has been a Canton, Ohio landmark since 1968. Forget the franchise steak houses, this place will put them to shame on cut quality and preparation all the while having a better price. They also have a tremendous selection of seafood for a location far from any water. As long as Sparta is around those others won’t get my business. Never a bad meal.

Great steaks and seafood. Bar service is fantastic with an assortment of available olive stuffings, novelty drinks, and a very well stocked bar. I’ve been going to Sparta for years, but usually get the filet. It is so tender that you can cut it with your fork.
Sometimes they run a special appetizer with shrimp wrapped in prosciutto. If its on the list of specials when you go, go for it!
Good, family run restaurant. You can’t go wrong.
