    I love a good A&W root beer, and this fast food chain brings back fond memories. I just so happened to order a root beer float on national root beer float day, right after the promotion started, but no one told me. They did bring out a huge sign a few minutes after I got my floats. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, the inside wasn't the cleanest.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The root beer floats were good-- it's hard to beat that on a hot summer day!

    Onion rings were great burger wasn't bad. I only wish they had asked about the root-bear. I no longer have a location near me and I wanted som real a and w not a fountain drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff was friendly and place was cleaner than many fast food places these days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Came in for a root beer float on a hot summer day and got a fabulous one! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty busy, but we easily found seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store layout itself is a little odd, but I really didn't mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love lots of ice cream in my root beer floats and the person who made mine did a perfect job crafting it! I will defiantly be back again in the future for some more root beer floats.

    Decent experience at A&W while visiting Niagara for the weekend. Love that it's open late and was walking distance from our holiday inn hotel. Had a root beer float in the frosty mug, and the food was hot! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very busy inside and could use some tidying up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also no one seems to speak English that works there. Why don't the milkshakes come in a frosty mug?? That was literally why we went!

    Perfect crunch popcorn shrimp.

    The sign in the window lured me in with "Shrimp & Fish." I love "popcorn" shrimp and haven't had good ones since the Crab Shack closed on Maple Rd in Amherst. You get 30 shrimp and they're really good. My only quibble is the Heinz cocktail sauce is too sweet. I'm used to something more robust, like Millers. I plan to return but bring my own bottle of Miller's. That will be a real treat! The staff was very nice - made me feel welcome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor reminded me of 1950's style fast food, yet they had modern touches like touch-screen ordering.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The restaurant is right on bus routes #40 and #77 with a stop right outside the restaurant.

    Original bacon cheesburger

    I lived in California for 4 years and A &W was a staple in my life. They definitely have good burgers. The chili fries is my favorite and go to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location in the falls is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered from door dash for pick up. My food was not ready at the assigned time, took about another 15 minutes. I was told only one cook for the day. There were mistakes to my order. But again there burgers are well, fries are delicious. Wish they work on the buns. All our buns fell apart, luckily we had buns at home and had to re-assemble our burgers. I also do love there spicy A&W sauce. Little pricey for the value of food. Didnt hate, but don't love.

    Double burger combo.
    Michael D.

    Was excited to come here for the burgers and a root beer float but was not impressed. Spent $45 for two regular burger combos, a double bacon cheeseburger and a root beer float. Everything tasted just ok, not spectacular. The soda fountain had a no ice and the kid's lemonade tasted like sugar water. No paper towels in the bathroom was also a concern. Service was friendly. All around this A & W was just ok.

    Double Cheeseburger with fries and a drink.

    The food was fast and the service was very friendly. I know the restaurant is new but it's been open a few months now and is still very clean. My only gripe is the price. Just like every other fast food place it's very expensive. I ordered a double cheeseburger meal and a fish sandwich meal for my wife and it came to $29 and some change. I'd definitely go back if I was in the neighborhood.

    Root beer float
    Sonya L.

    We literally came here just for root beer floats. Having had these many years ago from other A&W locations, we were disappointed by the root beer float we received. We told them we were dining in, so we could get a frosted mug, like we've done in the past. But when we got our order it was in a paper cup. Then when we tried our drink, there was something off about it. The root beer had no flavor and our float tasted mostly like ice cream. We finished our float and left disappointed. Root beer float that doesn't taste like root beer. I guess the positive is that the soft serve they use was good. Maybe we just got a bad batch.

    It costs me a lot to have such a meal. We ordered lots of stuff. Tender chicken, hotdog, hamburgers, fries etc. however we are just starving and it is the only restaurant open around the corner.

    It's neat. It's got some nostalgia. You can get a root beer float or you can get a mug or a full meal. They even have cheese curds. It's walkable from the falls - about 10 min - and on a main street that is well lit, if waking at night. The staff were nice and it's well lit. Prices reasonable too.

    I love this location, and the restaurant is inside of an old souvenir shop with a cool design.
    L A.

    This establishment opened just this week and considering that - they're doing very well. The service was great, cashier gave me exactly what I asked for and didn't try to upsell on anything. Place was super busy but everyone seemed to get their food quickly, there was a good mood in the air. Nice atmosphere. Parking might be tough for drivers as it's located in a high traffic tourism area but I'm sure you can use any of the nearby hotel or casino parking lots. As a local I'll keep supporting this place, I'm really hoping that it sticks around.

    Root beer floats are REALLY good because the ratio of the sugar and carbonation is different than what you would get at a generic store.

After taking in the majestic falls, I was ready to treat myself to a classic New York hot dog for the first time coming from California. Misty Grill Hotdogs seemed like a convenient spot, and I was excited to finally try this iconic street food staple. I ordered a classic New York dog, anticipating an epic hot dog. Unfortunately, my first experience with this legendary dog fell a little flat. It's pricey and doesn't taste anything special. It's also very small. Sadly a Costco hotdog would've tasted better. The toppings were equally underwhelming. The mustard was standard yellow, nothing special, and the bun, while soft, didn't quite live up to the hype. Sauerkraut was bland. Perhaps my expectations were too high. I know with Niagara Falls the life of the party is on the Canadian side. On the US side there's not much food options right outside the state park. Service was a bit slow even for 2 customers. There's not many people working there. I would say skip and keep looking.

Both meals were delicious. They also included samples of mac'n'cheese that the owner is trying out. We both love mac'n'cheese, and told him that his recipe was spot on! He shared with us that he'll be offering it when it's just right, and that customers will be able to customize each order with add-ons that they like. The place has framed photos of happy patrons in the store - with a note on a wall asking each patron to get photographed so they can be up on that wall. The bathroom was clean, stocked, and included a photo of the Blues Brothers - liked that! If you are in the mood for burgers, hot dogs and other comfort foods, this is a good place to go!!

There was no one else there when we showed up. She cooks everything from scratch and doesn't have a deep fryer on board, so it does take a little time to get your food. I'd be curious as to how this works with a crowd waiting, but for us, it wasn't an issue. The truck doesn't have any drinks on board, so be sure to stop inside Momma De's and grab a drink - I doubt you'll be able to resist the delicious baked goods she has on display! We did this while we waited for our food to cook. I got a chicken hoagie for $7.50 and it was loaded high with tender chicken, gooey cheese, and peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Super yummy and very filling! Although it wasn't advertised on the menu board, her Facebook post mentioned that they had $1 kids hotdogs, which she confirmed. She also mentioned she has a child of her own, and asked how we would like the hotdog grilled--- she knows how kids can be picky about those dark spots! :) And, YES, it's a Sahlen's hotdog! Nice! The food truck was super clean, which I always like to see. The owner mentioned she lives on Grand Island, too, so it's nice to support local businesses! We sat outside on Momma De's patio to enjoy our food, where there's a couple round tables with benches and umbrellas to shade from the sun. We might have to make this food truck / cookie combination a regular for the summer months!
