Native Son
The East Texas Weekend Preview — It’s no surprise that this East Texas restaurant was voted favorite dining spot in the 2025 Weekend Wonders Contest.
Located in the heart of downtown Canton, Native Son welcomes you to a world of flavor, live music and meaningful comradery.
Described as “a love letter to East Texas,” experience all sorts of dishes that pull from the best parts of Cajun, Southern and Texan recipes.
Fall in love right at the get-go with a order of freshly made Pork Cracklings. Crunchy, light and jam-packed with savory spices. And just wait until you dip it in their jalapeno ranch remoulade. SO GOOD!
When it comes to entrees, they just don’t miss. Grilled redfish, alligator sausage po-boy, dark roux chicken gumbo... the delicious list just goes on! We got to dive in on their Steak Frites. A house-butchered 8oz Flank, covered with their Tarragon Béarnaise sauce. All on top of shoestring frites! (Fries)
