After hearing about this hidden secret, we decided to drive to Lockport to check it out. This is a…read moresmall place with decent priced baked goods and knit products. We ended up buying a walnut caramel apple pie which is possibly the best pie I've ever had. And this is coming from someone who isnt much of an apple or any fruit pie type of person. The pies cost $17 and are totally worth it. A word of advice is that if you decide to pickup one of their custom pies, order it in via phone a day in advance.

Along with the increased overhead came increased prices so I no longer come here to get bargains like I once did. But I do come here to get a large variety of produce and deli food, always fresh.

The rest of the store is hit or miss, with some things marked way up and other things right where you'd expect them, occasionally a little cheaper. Sales are solid if you check out the flyer. The quality of the meat is the main draw here for me, it is the best spot locally for that. The staff are always nice and they keep the lines moving. I cook with a lot of weird ingredients, so I can't get everything here, but I do prioritize getting my meat and a few other things here.

They sell a lot of good fruits and veggies, at discount prices. The guy was cool, and the products were good. Not so good and so cheap that I hand out 5, but easily worth a 4. I'm very supportive of local growers moreso than any major chain stores. The Graham reaper agrees with me.

-- A perfect WNY fall tradition!…read more Smith's Orchard Cider Mill A trip to Western New York just isn't complete without an apple-picking adventure, and my sister found a winner with Smith's Orchard Cider Mill! We went on a warm October Sunday, and while the parking lot was full, we managed to find a spot halfway down and got right into the fun. The friendly staff gave us quick instructions, handed each of us a bag, and said the magic words -- "Pick as many as you want; what you pick is yours!" Challenge accepted. Rows were clearly marked by variety, and while the first few trees looked pretty bare, a little exploring led us to a goldmine of apples -- perfect for filling our bags and taking some great pictures. My sister never hesitates to find someone to snap a photo, and with the sun shining through the orchard, it made for fantastic memories with my brother and sister. We wrapped up by waiting a few minutes to check out, but that gave us time to enjoy a cold glass of their fresh apple cider -- nothing beats that crisp WNY flavor on a Sunday morning! An absolutely perfect start to the day and a stop we'll no doubt revisit next year. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed fall outing!

This was a little bit of a hike to get here from where we live, but well worth the trip. We planned…read morea little work bonding trip and brought our families. Note: when you put the location in maps, depending where you're coming from, it might take you to the front of the orchard, the parking lot is on the side, its grass parking and then a gravel walkway. (Please prepare accordingly). If there's no parking, I've seen people park on the street, and walk. This place is pretty hopping. We arrived at 11am and the cider/donut/checkout line did not die down. Since this was the second weekend of the season, only a handful of flavors were available: McIntosh, cortland, and daybreak Fuji. For those looking to bake: the daybreak Fuji are the best of the three as it won't reduce to mush, but the other two are great for applesauce etc. I made an apple crisp with a mix of the daybreak Fuji and the cortland, it turned out really solid. They have portapotties here and a sink to wash your hands. They do provide plastic bags for apple picking, and their cider mill dog; Cider; is "guarding" the bags. No really, she just wants to be petted and give her attention, she's insanely friendly. They do have pumpkins here for 5$ each. I didn't get one because it was too early for me and the deer would've just ate it off my lawn. You can bring your own bags to pick apples since you purchase by the weight. If you're planning to get a lot of apples, the reusable grocery bags are solid. We met at the picnic tables by the front and then walked over to the orchards to start picking apples. The apples that are not ready, are tapered off with colored plastic string rope. Each row of trees is labelled with what type they are for easy identification. We all split up and started picking apples, no rhythm or reason to it, just happily picking. Very friendly for kids to pick too as some apples hang lower. It was a very chill day and event full of happy. Post-overloading our bags with apples, we went back to the entrance where the cider/donut/checkout line did not die down. It kept moving but kept growing. We waited about 15minutes to purchase donuts slushies and pay for our apples. There are Concord grapes for purchase up front, and gallons of cider. I got six donuts and a cider slushie, a bag of Concord grapes and we had two heaping bags of apples, and we paid I believe 50$ ish for everything. Granted my bag of apples was like 20$ for how much it weighed. We used about 20-25 apples Saturday for cooking/baking/juicing, and we still have another heaping bag left. Probably going to make some sort of bread and maybe a pie. Anyway. The cider slushie is so good and refreshing, I wish I had ordered two up front because that line did not die down. They had so many folks working the counter though that it kept moving which shows you how much traffic the place was receiving. But also to show you to appreciate the business and the work that goes into every weekend event. The cinnamon sugar fry cake donuts I ordered six, ate three there, and three on way home/at home. They were piping hot when we got them, so insanely fresh. Delicious. It was a really fun afternoon of at your leisure bonding.

They have discontinued so many items and they are always out of sale items. My biggest complaint is the registers, they only have 1 register opened and 1 express reg and that's it!!!

I can't stand going shopping seeing 20 empty registers and only 1 opened. And it's sad to see all the associates looking so unhappy now. Haven't heard any good things about the new manager there which is most likely the problem.
