This is a quaint Lewiston institution with a cozy atmosphere. However, I will not be going back due to the astronomical prices there now - I realize food prices have gone up, but seriously? $18/$19 for a sandwich or salad? The grilled chicken salad I had was merely average - iceberg lettuce, shredded cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, grilled chicken. That's it. No roll or croutons and nothing except BASIC - so not worth the money. I don't mind paying that amount and have at other establishments, but those salads were exceptional in that they had a lot more ingredients and were at least interesting. My friend also paid $18 for a basic grilled chicken sandwich with 2 pickles slices and chips. Sorry, Apple Granny's. I'm spending my time and money elsewhere in Lewiston.... read more

Food was fair. Service was poor and unfriendly. Do not recommend. There are many restaurants in the area to try.

Food was average, but service was bad. Our party was mostly Asian, so waitress only interacted with our friend who is the only White person in our party. The waitress only looked at our friend when asking about food and our need. We paid the bill but the waitress gave the receipt to our friend. read more

This place has been in my radar since the days when I was attending Artpark shows (which seems like ages ago, sadly). I finally got to stop in for lunch before a shopping trip at the Outlets. It wasn't busy at all, so we were seated and greeted promptly by a friendly server. I realized I haven't had a taco salad in ages, so I ordered a chicken one and my dad ordered a turkey club. It did take a bit of time to get our order (the server apologized, they were training a new cook in the kitchen) but I didn't mind, I was busy taking photos of the cool decor in the dining room. Our food arrived, and it was very generous portions indeed. I do wish the chicken on the salad had a more "Mexican" flavor instead of frozen chicken strips. I did ask for a couple sides of ranch , which I used with the salsa to top the salad, which gave it the right kick I needed. The shell was cooked perfectly too. Dad enjoyed his gigantic sandwich, but wish he said no bacon because he's trying to cut out fatty foods. I would like to go back to try their dinner menu, I saw lots of seafood options, and that is right up my alley! read more

Apple Granny was such a great find! My aunt and I were about to do some wine tasting around the Niagara US side, but we were starving and made a random stop in a small cute town. We were excited to find Apple Granny. It's such a warm and welcoming restaurant. It seems like a lot of the customers are regulars. The staff are very friendly and seem happy to be there. I ordered the Friday fish special. It was a huge portion of white fish with sides for about $8 or $9 bucks. I thought it was a great deal. I didn't eat all of the breaded part, and there was still a good chunk of meaty fish to eat. I was completely satisfied! I also thought the coleslaw was unusually good. I usually don't eat slaw because I'm not really into it, but for some reason, I really liked this one. I also got the apple pie for dessert. I'm mean, how can you not order apple pie at a place called Apple Granny?! It was great. It definitely tasted homemade. It was well worth every penny, calorie, gram of fat, etc. =D I think this a great local place to try if you're in the area. Its a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the Niagara area and its ridiculously expensive restaurants! read more

Apple Granny - Friday fish special! (Fried haddock with a side of mac & cheese and coleslaw) - American Near Me - Lewiston, New York

Great food great atmosphere. Great hospitality to us tourists from the other side of the country!

It's been a long time that I have wanted to try this restaurant and I finally got to. My boyfriend and I split the Bermuda Grilled Beef sandwich before we went hiking at Artpark and Stella Niagara Preserve. The sandwich was perfectly grilled and crispy and was tasty and came with potato chips. Service was good, they are practicing social distances with the table. The crowd was mainly older folks and seemed like a lot of regulars, many of them had fish fry as it was Friday. read more

The food was decent.... Our salads were served after our main dish which was strange. Unfortunately our prime rib was served with at least 60% fat. We spoke to the manager and instead of offering to fix the problem, she argued right away saying "that's how we serve it". Then implied we were just trying to get money off of the bill. Her entire demeanor was disgusting. they ended up serving us another piece of meat. Which was better. The waitresses were all very nice but the manager was awful. If you dine at this establishment I'd hope that you don't have an issue with your meal, chatting with the manager is not pleasant in the least! read more

Would give 3 and a half stars.... Service was quite slow ( may have been kitchen) our waitress was very nice... Two people in our party of six agreed that the ribs were so so...sauce was very sweet The Beef on Weck as well as the Ruben were excellent! Prices were very reasonable Restaurant in right in the center of the village and is very cozy and homey read more

Cute little spot. Inside seating was well spaced out but I am not sure if it was due to lack of customers or covid. Pretty traditional American food. The salad tasted amazingly fresh. But that's really all that was memorable. The room has some old fashion photos and memorabilia which is interesting. read more

It is nice to have a traditional restaurant in the neighborhood. The kind with a large menu with something for everyone! I have been here many times and the standout dishes are the Prime Rib, Monte Christo and Beef on Weck sandwiches. All the sandwiches are very good in fact, as is the chicken salad with the mesquite seasoning. I also love the stuffed cherry peppers. I can always count on a great meal here! read more

Loved this old time restaurant reflective of the quaint little town of Lewiston. I had a delicious baked haddock with a side of pasta. I also had a cup of New England clam chowder. My wife had the Bermuda sandwich (grilled beef sandwich). Everything was delicious!! Try it!! read more

Best fish fry in western New York, bar none. This is why I'm giving it 5 stars. Other food is above average but nothing special.

Wow! Fast service here! I ordered the 'Rachel' a turkey version of the Rueben. Came out of the kitchen in 15 min. Hot and fresh. Enjoyed it. Was hungry so I inhaled 1/2 of this enormous sandwich quickly and happily :). read more

I was going back and forth between a 2 and a 3 for this place. We got there on a Saturday evening and it was busy so we grabbed a drink at the bar. The bartender was friendly and took the time to explain their offerings and let us try a sample when we saw we were trying to decide between a couple. When we got a table, we placed our order. We were about to say we'd like to start with an appetizer, but the waitress ran off so fast we couldn't. When we got her attention, she sounded annoyed and told us that we'd probably get everything around the same time since we ordered the app so late. I did like that the dinners came with a soup or salad. I had a broccoli cheese soup which tasted good. The salad came out with dressing on the side. It wouldn't pour out of the cup because it was so thick. When putting a knife in it to get it out we then saw it was jello like thick. After pulling the knife out you could see the line where it was cut and it stayed that way for the rest of dinner-never dripped back like a liquid, even a thick one should. For dinner I had a chicken parm, which tasted decent. It was big serving so I had lunch the next day too which was nice. My dining partner had the cajun chicken which was quite plain. It seemed to be just grilled chicken with some cajun seasoning sprinkled on top. Something I could easily do at home. After seeing so many great reviews I was expecting much more. Hoping we just caught it on a bad night. read more

This place is huge. The menu is not very creative or interesting. But the tables are full and I'm sure it's because the locals know the food and know what to expect and tourists / visitors like the size of the table and the like. Our server was pleasant, the timing was fine. Parking for us was easy, on the street, not sure if they have a lot behind the building or not. 2 stars as I've experienced better. read more

Very average. The chicken Caesar was ok. I wished the grilled chicken was not cold, but it tasted fine otherwise. The fries were hot but really kind of soft instead of crispy. We visited for lunch and it was very busy. Maybe others thought it was good? Idk I don't think I'll return. There are other options to try before this one again. read more

Great food! Nice and cozy place for comfort food. Got the chicken soup and grilled rachel sandwich. Foods was amazing and yummy. read more

We had lunch there. I thought the decor was appropriate for the beautiful town of historic Lewiston. The waitress was very nice and for this kind of homey comfort restaurant fit in just right. The burger was good even though it was a bit overcooked. The fries were great and the Dutch apple pie was very very good. The other folks got soup, salad, sandwiches and a patty melt. Everyone liked their food. No great culinary awards may be won here but I certainly would come back. read more

The food is amazing and so is the service!!! There prime rib is to die for and don't even get me started on the fish dinners!! Everything I've ever had there is awesome, amazing!! Just go there and try it for yourself, you won't regret it, I promise you!!!10 out of 10!! read more

We had a great lunch at this restaurant. The sandwiches were amazing. They also handled my daughter's gluten-free order perfectly! Will be back. read more

I went here for the first time last summer and I was really disappointed. I heard good things about it and wanted to try to support local business, but my friends and I weren't happy with our meals. I paid about $18 for their fish special that was supposed to be stuffed fish. The fish was bland, no seasoning at all, and was just stuffed with Kraft singles cheese. The service was quite slow as well, which I don't mind so much as I can be patient for good food... But I've never paid for a meal I didn't even eat before this one. I didn't send it back because I felt bad but can't bring myself to recommend. I'd say if you go to stick to the basics like soup and sandwiches. read more

A small, homey restaurant tucked in Lewiston. My family met here for lunch and were pleased with the very reasonable prices and wide variety on the menu! From fish and chips, wings and burgers, to numerous salads and vegetable dishes. My Greek salad was a hit, as well as the Fried Fish Friday. I would love to go back also because of their great service and comfortable atmosphere. read more

Comfortable, relaxed atmosphere with fantastic home style food. I had the monte christo sandwich...it was perfect. The right amount of ham, turkey and cheese...very tasty. The french fries might be the best I've ever had. The wait staff was attentive without hovering. The price was very reasonable especially when you consider the large portions. It's nice to people watch out the front windows right on Center street. A parking lot and full bar are also a plus. A good place to stop in when walking around the village during an event or on any nice day. read more

Have not been to Apple Grannies in a couple of years . Was in the area and tried there fish fry . It was ok nothing special. Also someone ordered the ravioli it was ok actually they said they were cold . Service was good . The restaurant is clean. Overall the food was just average . read more

Cute restaurant, very popular in Lewiston. Came specifically for their prime rib dinner for two. Came with choice of potatoes, fries or rice, soup or salad, prime rib, dessert and bottle of wine. pitchers of beer and or soft drinks. $48.00 for two. Very good food and service. Would go back, no reservations on Fridays. Manager came to each table asking how everything was, I absolutely love that. read more

You're only as good as your last meal! Apple Granny has enjoyed an excellent reputation and loyal following for many years but the take out fish fry they served up the first friday of lent 2019 was the worst i've ever had. Ever. i understand that something is lost in the "take-out" process and i don't mind a little quick reheat to bring it back to life. But you should at least be able to transfer the fish fry out of the styrofoam container to a plate without it completely disintegrating. The one i ordered was so soggy/greasy that it fell apart. The batter was totally saturated and grotesque. i now understand what many locals were talking about when they said Apple Granny dropped more than a notch or two when it changed ownership a few years back. New, money-grubbing opportunists take a good thing and then cut corners (like paying a competent cook!) and everything starts going downhill: food, service, experience... and, finally, reputation. And this is the reason i've ordered for this last time from this over-the-hill, over-priced, parasitic establishment whose better days are long gone. read more

Apple Granny - American Near Me - Lewiston, New York

very slow service. food was mediocre at best and very over priced. looks like it could use a good, deep cleaning.

staff was attentive... our waitress was not the friendliest, but she looked busy. She did a good job. I got a drink special which was delicious. The fried appetizer was good, our actual meals were very disappointing. My bf's Beef on weck was ok. Kind of bland. The grilled chicken sandwich was not worth $15. My side salad was chopped up iceberg lettuce. The actual sandwich came out as just a bun and dry chicken. nothing else. We loved the atmosphere, but the food quality and prices don't fit. read more

Cold.Cold.Cold I was with 4 other people for lunch and we decided to have lunch at this place. The owner, burke, tried to seat five of us at a table for four. We asked for a bigger table and he was very cold turned and put menus on bigger table and left. We then ordered and we all noted we were freezing. I looked around and the place was half full BUT every customer was wearing their coats! We did also and asked the waitress. She went over and told the owner who just shook his head no. We sat with our coats on and our food came out and guess what - it was cold!!! I asked the waitress if the owner was aware and she rolled her eyes saying yes he does as she was upset about it also. Cold service, cold food, and cold atmosphere. I wont go back read more

No mildew stench? Check. We haven't been to Apple Granny's in forever and while driving to Lewiston from NFNY, Barry asked "where"? Apple Granny's? NO. Steelhead? Ehhh...I've always hated the bar...Barry: "I'm not going to that brick place, and I really don't feel like going to Water Street." Mary: I don't care, really, let's just eat... After the mildew trauma at Steelhead, we swiftly walked to Apple Granny's. We haven't been there in forever, and fondly remember Julie the bartender who can go toe to toe with Barry and "bar humor." I think she's an original employee if you get what I mean. Disclaimer: if you're intention is to have a great cocktail, think again. Apple Granny's has those stupid donut control pour rings and they SUCK, so stick with beer or wine... or just beer becase the wine selection is really really scary. I got the reuben and slaw, soooo wanting the fries...whatEVER. The reuben was made with thick sliced rye, not too much sloppy dressing, perfectly tender corned beef, but could have used more kraut. Still it was easy to eat. Barry ordered the perfectly boring hot roast beef seved between two thick slices of white bread - a notch above Wonder. I thought the gravy looked too dark, but he said it was great. He didn't even touch his fries!! I may have eaten one... Julie is quick with the placemats, silverware, napkins S & P, Ketchup and horseradish before the food comes out. She's a pro. I don't know what to say about the decor. I pretty much hate it, but the food and the experience won out. read more

If this place was not in the quaint hamlet of Lewiston, this place would have gone out of business years ago. Food is mediocre. Fish fry? Everyone has a fish fry and this one is not that great. Service can be slow. Looks like the cast of Cocoon eats there. Parking is iffy. Interior is dated and needs a severe remodel. read more

I liked this restaurant. It's very homey and they have photographs hanging up that you will probably recognize. And the waitress was friendly. As an appetizer, we had an Awesome Blossom, which is basically a blooming onion. The onion was good, but I did not care for the horse radish sauce. Instead, I dipped it into into my ranch dressing that came with my salad. My salad was good as well. For the entree, I ordered the broiled shrimp. The shrimp was large and I was happy to see that the shells had been removed. Most restaurants refuse to remove shells from shrimp, so I was thankful that I did not have to get my hands dirty. They were supple and delicious, but it really wasn't enough to fill me up. However, shrimp entrees never seem to be filling no matter where you go. My friends ordered a chicken caesar salad, a Granny melt, and a Monte Cristo. They had no complaints, so I assume they liked their orders. The only drawback was that the place was so crowded that we had to wait about forty minutes to be seated. However, this was during the Lewiston Art Festival, so you're going to expect a long wait no matter where you want to eat. But I think we made the right choice. read more

If a sitcom along the lines of "Cheers" or "Seinfeld" were to be shot in Lewiston, it'd be filmed here at Apple Granny's, the unofficial hub of this sleepy little suburb near the Canadian border, best known for its proximity to Artpark. The food's cheap and filling, and the staff is friendly (and according to other reviews, often pretty funny). Locals bring their friends here, alcoholics bring their tendencies, families bring their kids, and business folks even bring their clients, for a bowl of the crab bisque or a short stack of pancakes. If you're looking for gourmet food, you may want to trundle on down to locavore haven Carmelo's. If you're looking for decent beer, the Brickyard (across the street) is better. But if you're in Lewiston and not looking for anything in particular, you'll probably find something good at Apple Granny's. read more

The food is your average run of the mill, mom and pop restaurant. Good but nothing to call home about. what makes this place special is the bar. Yes it's a bit dark and old fashioned but the drinks are cheap!!!!. If you are heading out to lewiston for the night for drinks or a concert, stop here first. Plus the bartenders are very friendly. read more

This place was great! We passed on it last time because of the rating on here but today we decided to try it out (the other place we like was closed early on Sunday). So glad we did. Home style food and very friendly wait staff with an environment that reminds me of having dinner with my grandma (as it is intended...this is aimed at you other people saying they look outdated and need a remodel!) Everything we ate was great! Will definitely come back if I visit the area again! read more
