About Hopocan Gardens
A Norton restaurant serving Barberton-style chicken dinners: fresh Ohio-raised chicken, lightly breaded and deep fried without heavy seasoning, paired with the tomato-rice "hot sauce," coleslaw, and fresh-cut french fries. Sides mentioned include mashed potatoes, green beans, and dumplings. Beyond dine-in, the restaurant takes reservations, handles online orders, hosts private parties for birthdays and family celebrations, and offers catering for parties, meetings, corporate events, and wedding festivities.
The restaurant has been serving northeastern Ohio families for 50 years. It carries on the Barberton chicken tradition, which the site traces to 1942, when a small Barberton restaurant made chicken and a tomato-rice hot sauce for its own employees and customers asked to try it, leading to the chicken dinner with coleslaw and fresh-cut fries. Barberton is now known as the Chicken Capital of the World.
