Best fish and chips ever. Not greasy and so crisp. The shrimp were huge, crispy and tender. Beef on a Kaiser was huge could have fed 2 and gravy was the best. Loved the coleslaw. We are looking forward to going back. Our waitress was helpful and funny. More

Great food, really neat antique decor to look at while eating. Gave atmosphere 4 star only because the tables were old and a bit sticky on my forearms. Not dirty, just sticky because of age. Other than that, food was delicious, and the server very pleasant :) More

Great food! Fish and chips with 2 sides for $18. A bit awkward in there in the afternoon when we went, maybe it gets busier in the evening. But such a gem and great portion sizes. Free refills on soda too! More

A cozy family restaurant with a warm atmosphere, excellent food and great service! Jack helped me pair down my choices from their huge menu and I ordered the half roasted chicken with stuffing and gravy and the shrimp skewers, with Kelly's perfect Manhattan to warm me up!! The food came out quickly - hot, delicious and plenty of it! The service was attentive and very personable - checking on me frequently and making sure I had whatever I needed! The roasted chicken was so savory! My only regret was not leaving enough room for dessert!! I won't make that mistake next time! The table next to me got a huge slice of pie and left me salivating!!

My first Canadian meal and it didn't disappoint. Hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had, and I've had quite a few. Their mozzarella sticks were also really good. Service was as good as it gets. Highly recommend!

First time here and it was a nice little place to eat. Our server was very attentive to everything and a very kind gentleman! I got the fish and chips and my husband got the beef dip sandwich. You should've seen how much meat was on it , he could hardly finish it (that's a good thing). I think it's safe to say he loved it. The fish and chips were cooked to perfection, fish was crispy on the outside and the fries were delicious too!
We would love to come back here again sometime :) be better with a free $100 gift card *wink wink* We will come back regardless:) I highly suggest .

This was my first time visiting Canada and was so excited to find a local, family spot to grab a bite before heading home. The environment is really friendly and the staff are super helpful and prompt. Our server Jack was an absolute delight and super patient while we took our time trying to choose from the awesome list of options. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the steak and bacon poutine, a side of coleslaw, the Greek burger and the buffalo chicken sandwich. The portions were incredible and super filling. Everything had great flavor and was super fresh. Definitely a great place to stop in whether you need a snack or are ready for a full meal!

A comfortable family style restaurant that has nothing to prove…. The food does this for itself! Large portions of homemade roast beef, tender chicken sandwiches, traditional turkey dinner with stuffing and half chicken dinners with several sides to choose from included. Fast, friendly service. It’s a local staple for Niagara.

Absolutely fabulous. Took my 85 yr old mother in law here for her first time and she was blown away with the huge portions, friendly atmosphere and great service.
She had the liver & onions, my husband had the seafood combo (shrimp & scallops) and your truly had the meatloaf. The liver came with 2 LARGE pieces ( we took 1 pc home) and my meatloaf came with THREE pieces (we took 1 pc home).
Highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
