“ Really great menu and tasting food with late night options. The fish and chips were really well seasoned and the piece of haddock literally weighted a pound. The accompaniments were also flavorful and well prepared. The staff was friendly and the Guinness pour was proper. I ended up going back a second time and had the a pizza which was also really good. The first time I went was a Friday night which was kinda loud but would definitely go back. ”

“ CF McCarthys never disappoints. From the minute you walk in you are greeted by Felix who always accommodating to all guests who enter. Brittany behind the bar is always pleasant and knows how to pour a Guinness just perfect. I go every year for my traditional St. Patricks day meal Corned beef and cabbage. The corn beef is prepared perfect and the cabbage and carrots and potatoes are delicious with a nice pint of Guinness to follow. Their entertainment traditional Irish music rounds out your dining experience. I’ve had their house cheeseburger which is sublime and perfect fries. Today I tried the 2 Lamb Lollipops on a bed of arugula salad. Perfection. Followed by Brittanys suggestion a huge chocolate chip cookie in a warmed skillet topped with vanilla ice cream drizzled with hot fudge with whip cream and cherry on top. With a hot cup of fresh coffee. Thank you Brittany it was delicious! If your looking for a chef that dreams up exotic combos to delight any ones appetite. Accompanied by a warm and friendly staff and atmosphere. Drop on down to CF McCarthys Canton gem of a place. ”
“ The best for Incredible Food and Service. We are there at least 2-3 x/week. It is as good as being at an upscale Boston Grille but in the burbs. Brittany and Emily are like family and Felix is so attentive. We luv everything about CF’s. The best power bowls ever and incredible burgers. The menu choices are super upscale. Definitely go there.
