The entire family will love the menu and atmosphere at The Phoenix Fire Grill & Bar. The kids will love the buttered penne while you can indulge in the Caribbean Coconut Grouper and a custom cocktail. Zenobia Cuisine & Bar, an authentic Mediterranean restaurant with a delightful menu, has both indoor and outdoor dining and the occasional evening entertainment, though the food is the star of the show. AngeNettas Cafe Restaurant is the preferred pizza and Italian restaurant in town. They also have delicious homemade specialty desserts.
Besides hanging out with your family and neighbors in the backyard, there is plenty to do in Canfield. Children will love The Dublin Grange Theater and everyone in the family will have a fun time bowling at the Amron Lanes. McCune Park is the place to be in the summer during baseball season and the Metropark Disc Golf Course is loads of fun.
